Since I'm bored and I finally found the SD card reader, I decided to finally blog all the pictures that are meant to be here long long ago...

Batam Trip

The hotel we stayed in is not offically open yet, which explain the super duper nice environment, furniture and super cheap spa (50% difference from the pervious one I went). Had a free upgrade from standard to delux because the agency made a mistake of promising there is enough standard rooms for all of us.

Delux only means the room is WAY BIG! They could have make use of the space and include some furniture or bigger tv and bed. The size of the room make the bed look so tiny. I love the bed though. Very comfy.


The external of the hotel is shaped like half a Cruise boat, which explains the stair and lift designs, exactly what is like from a Cruise.

First stop was this western looking bridge, said to be similar to those in San Fransisco (spelling?)











Mum enjoying her coconut by the road side. Too many flies for me to sit still and enjoy it. I cant stand flies... So yucky.



ducks by the road side

Spa @ Hotel - S$37





me after a relaxing 2 hours spa..

Arranaged an evening boat home, so we still have pretty much time to kill at Batan Centre and a shopping mall opposite it.

Had J Co donut there and walked for a bit. With still much time and money, decided to have a sit-in lunch at A&W! I was shocked when mum say she wanna eat too. She never ever eat fast food meal all by herself! Goodnes. I had the burger while she had a 2-pcs meal. Upgraded the drinks to float, only an additional of less than S$0.10! How cheap can it be..





I love love the curly fries....

Some time back, bf and I went to this Griller @ Tiong Bahru Plaza. Around $10 per person. The food was surprising good.





the baked potato is really gd.. the sauce too.

Then few days ago had a farewell lunch for arthur at Japan Village @ Revenue House. Scandal and Hubby had always praise the food there so arranged this lunch there this time round.

Bill came up to $20plus each person. The bento set is cheap and good. Worth the price. A place worth going but mind the $$ because you will tend to forget the price tag attached.






Lastly, the non-bake cheesecake












First my tummy, and now flu.

Was running high fever by the time I reached home yesterday evening. 38plus degree.

Pop panadol down and rested while waiting for bf to buy porridge for me.

I hate flu. Taking all the med make me so weak physically.

Its only 5plus now but I had napped 3 times already! -_-!

Birthdays coming up again - Jas's and Lene's.

Then Bf the next next mth. So fast...

I need my bed... *light-headed*

On MC today. Doc said it might be traveller tummy upset because the stomach cannot adopt to the water and food there.
Didnt wanna see the doc at first, but the symptom is pretty similar to gastric infection (which i had awhile back) - stomach contracting and bloating. So scare that its gastric infection.. Pretty horrible experience I had then. Cant keep the food down and looking at food just make me wanna vomit and also the naggings.
Lucky wasnt that. *phew*
But still, bf never let go the chance of reminding me I will get gastric infection and many other gastric thingy if I dont take my meals regularly, by which he meant all three meals. He talk about lots of things just to have me say from my own mouth that irregular meals leads to gastric infection. -_-!! He always had his own way of nagging. sighz
Instead of making me sleepy, I'm still pretty awake after taking the med!!!! -_-!
Pretty ok now. So long I dont eat, my stomach wont hurt.
And bf skipped school to company me. *hehe* Forced him to say that out from his mouth. *revenge time*
Back to work tomorrow. Dont dare to check my email. Later my tummy get upset from the indox.
But now my thoart is hurting out of the sudden. Not flu please....

I have a number of pictures to blog.. but I'm just too plain lazy to do so.. =X

Like the cheese cake I made weeks ago and the lastest muffin. And also my batam trip over this weekend. O ya, also this nice western eating place at tiong bahru.

Got a new bloster too.

This batam trip was much better than the one I had 6months ago. Did a foot massage (S$12), hair treatment cum head massage (S$7.50) and a 2 hour body scrap cum massage (S$40). Now not only my skin is smooth, and hair too! lalalalalala.

And also, a tube bra. Finally! Been ages since I wanna get one. But never got the mood to.

And and.. I bought a super duper early birthday present for bf. =) Maybe if finance condition allows, bf can look forward to another present.. hehe

Strugging with going to school 3 times a week and sitting through the whole lesson. Both assignment based yet nothing I can skip because its not theory based!!! Especially that accounting module. Argh.

and and.. I MISS BF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sighz.. I really need to shop. As in buy those things I need. Like more bra, some new clothes and shoes!!! I really need some new ones. Non friction liao. Sighz.. just when i tot i will hv some extra cash..

so random. =X

Am bored to death...

Whole day I packed my room, my clothes, had lunch, rotted, bathed, early dinner, pilates, shower, bread and rotted again.

How boring can this get?

O ya, I did the base for the cheesecake which I will be 'fridge-ing' tomorrow. Non-bake cheesecake. A pretty old recipes I digged out from mum's drawer. She got lots and lots of recipes on cakes and never share.

Shopping list:

500 muffin recipes or any other recipe books on muffin / cupcakes / cakes
muffin tray
muffin paper cups
colourful kitchen equipments
digital weighting machine
containers
my own collection of recipes

A look with my timetable, most likely I wont have any class on Sundays for the next few weeks. After which, I can only do the baking on Saturday.

Less time to windwo-shop at Taka and Tangs kitchen section. And less time to go Phoon Huat. *sob*

I wanna go taka to get some kitchen stuffs!!!

O ya... I got into Uni of Newcastle!!!!!!! Finally got the acceptance letter today... So happy. Bf happy for me too. *muack*

Dont worry. I'm not flying over to study. =)

07/07/08 - 1 year anniversary

We turn one year old today. Actually planned to take the cable car today but was being called home for dinner and bf also urge me to go home for dinner. So instead of cable car, we had a nice time walking and eating in ViVo City.

Took half day off so that I can meet bf and have a simple date with him. Its worth it. Because we hardly date because of our schedules.

Lunch is at Earl Swensen. Wanted to bring bf there since the time we celebrate Tao's 21st there. I fell in love with the salad bar which is free-flow. All because of the salad bar, I dragged bf there. But also because I know bf will like the steak there. He's a meat lover. =) And true enough, he ordered steak while I had fish and chips.

his








Was a long lunch. We took like nearly 2 hours to eat. So basically we really eat the lunch S-L-O-W-L-Y.. Had two serving of salads too. Love the salad bar. And the italian dressing. Sour but open out your stomach for the meal.

Had a walk around and second round of dessert at Bakerzin. Though expensive, bf commented that the cakes confirm will be nice and so we made our way in. And the truth - its really worth the money!!!!




tapas - small serving of the desserts




black forest and strawberry cotta




lime sorbert with 7-up - LOVE IT!


oreo cheesecake







I love this french almond sweet snack. No idea how to spell the actual name. I had searched for the recipe before and I know the time and heart that you need to put into making this small sweet snacks. Cooking, baking and steaming just to get one which is half of the actual thing! Which is why it cost $1.50 each.


$1.50 each

I enjoy the time I spend with bf.. I know the effort he put into and the stuffs he given up because of me. And that make me guilty. Asking whether I'm worth all this. And he assure me time and again I'm worth it. I love him. With my heart and everything I have. I want there to be more and more years that we will celebrate this day together. Though simple, its one of the days I will remember for a long long long time..

Darren... happy one year anniversary.
