Was playing with photofunia yesterday night. Had always wanna do it but didnt get down to it.



love this.




i love myself!!!! bf like this one too.


we are writing a book together


of course, how can i forget this group of friends.


More to come when I'm bored. lolz.

Handed over my first project yesterday to the end users. Was a good day for me. Contractors like me. End users like my cheerfulness. =) Was a co-share project with another colleague. To guide me through how a typical project will be like. Working 6days a week is not a fun thing to do! In addition I had to finish 2 assignments. Horrible two weeks it were.

But its over now. Another project coming up.

My last exam for this dipolma on 5 Dec, this coming friday.

Then I will be free for 4 weeks before my degree programme starts. And it will be another two years of studying.

And thereafter, maybe a year to get my driving license and a car. Mum gave me her support to have a car, all I have to do is get the license to drive.

Hopefully my job will be smooth sailing too.

Things are good with bf. Though I was busy with work and school, it didnt mean he will be free. He was even more busier than me by fetching me from school and coming down all the way to make sure I have a proper dinner. Thank you. For all that you had done for me.

I really hope to spend some quality time with him during his school holidays. I cannot imagine how empty I will feel when he get enlisted into the army.

Thats so much to do yet so little time to fulfill all...

Had been blogging regularly for the past few years. Since poly days. But it was many months from the day I start blogging that I realize how easy it was to upload picture! Because it was real troublesome to upload to Open Diary (OD), so I didnt even bother to try out Blogger's. My first online diary was with OD which I started using since secondary school days. It lasted for a pretty long time till some stupid hackers cause the lose of all my entries. Used to wrote poems and post them out there. Pretty nice remarks I had. Everything was gone overnight.

Feel years done the road, I open another account in OD again, while maintaing a public blog.

If counting my OD-days, I had been writing online for 7years or more! And this is my longest surviving diary! =)

Anyway....

My days are pretty packed nowadays. Going to site everyday, assignments, bitbit, darren, school. Thats about it. Not even enough time for sleeping. Used to sleep at 11, now its 12 that is my bedtime.

Sighz.

I wanna party!!!!! Kinda miss Powerhouse. The music there.

I wanna go movies...

Yesterday was a big celebration for something warm and cozy. So decided to take things slow today with bf for my actual birthday. He had decided a few days ago to take me to this Korean place for a nice BBQ meal because he remembered I wanted to have it. It was properly year ago that I said that. A casual and relaxing day with bf.


on the bus to West Coast Highway - 176



Turn out, the place is close after lunch hour and only opens at 6pm in the evening for the dinner crowd. So we decided to continue on the bus ride to Vivo for some bite and shopping. Didnt manage to get anything though.


lemon sorbet
My love - lemon sorbet. I just love that lemon kind of sourness. While bf loves sorbet. But the acid hurts my gastric after that. =X


caught eating my sorbet!!

After some walking we headed back to the Korean place for our dinner. And coincidental, this is the same place I had always wanted to try even before I am together with bf. On top of that, bf had always passing by this place when he was working near PSA. Fate I guess.
Take bus 176 from Jurong East or bus 30 from Boon Lay to reach. Its opposite Hwa Pai Villa.
Since this outlet specialize in charcoal BBQ, we decided that the BBQ is a must have! And its true.


We ordered one plate of marinated pork, one plate of marinated beef and one plate of mushroom for the BBQ. And also a Soya Bean Soup to go with it, which was recommended by the waitress. But turn out, we can do without the soup. The meat and side dishes was filling enough!
And yes, there was LOTS of side dishes! Which was expected for a traditional Korean eating house. And of course, not to forget tons of fresh veges to wrap the BBQ meat.





The serving staffs do the cooking for you. So no need to worry about getting yourself sweaty or smelly.
The side dishes were also tasty! Very up to standard. Its as if I'm back to korea. Was happily wrapping my meat with different kind of side dishes to give it a few level of taste and texture. *smiles*


beef with mushrooms


soya bean soup


the juice inside the mushroom is said to be good for your body


pork


nice colour and taste even nicer!




i cant help but post this up


end of dinner
We cleared most of the veges! I never had so much fresh veges in my meals in Singapore before! This is the first. The pancakes were good too, not to forget the mashes sweet potato, peanuts.

This is definitely a place to return! The whole bill came up to $91.80. If we did not order the soup, would be around $70plus, which is still accpetable since a meal at Big O or other resturant will fall within the range.
Both of us had such a fun time eating the food. A first for us in Singapore. Though I tried this in Korea before, I had always miss it and thought I will never get to eat traditional Korean BBQ again unless I fly to Korea! And today, bf fulfill my wish and it happens to be the same place I wanted to go to.
The environment is peaceful, cozy and very homy kind. A good place for a gathering between close friends to chit chat and enough good food.
The food is really worth the price we are buying for!

happily on our way back home
Darren really spoilt me today. Though I didnt get to buy anything, I felt happy. And this is the first time he go through the trouble to find a place to have a meal with me. I used to be the one doing the thinking. He was sweet, gentle and smily the whole time. It will do him no good to spoil me so much!!!!! Half way through the dinner I almost teared, because he is really too good to me.
This is really a good full stop to my 21st birthday celebration.
Though on leave tomorrow, I will need to spend time on my assignment and also to tidy my room which I threw everything in in order to make my living room looks good for the party yesterday. Plus with the presents, need to arrange my shelves.
Time for bed.
Yours truly is here to blog about her 21st birthday celebration at the comfort of her house sitting in the west side of Singapore.

Turn up was good. Very good if I say so. Would have been better if there wasnt any exams for my secondary school friends who are in Uni. But otherwise, I'm really happy with the celebration. Even the food kind of finish, of which I ordered 35pax.


the only decorations for the night.
Me and my balloons!!!

catering from Homevilla - highly recommended as most guests had two servings!

Due to some connections, I had free stools and a wavier for the transportation fees! Save me like $40 or more on the catering. And its really good to see that the trays are empty at the end of the night. Leaving only the prawns more than half full.

presents

The whole celebration started slightly after 6pm where Lye Wah arrived first. Eventually people started pouring in. Suddenly I feel like I invited too many people! But all in all is good. Everyone entertained each other. Food seems ok too, since there was second serving and everyone seems super full after the celebration.
Mum got me a D24 Durain cake!!!!! Cost like $190. Expensive! But the cake is really heavenly. Those whose stomach is able to fill more food, had second serving of the cake too! *happy* Theres only like 3 or 4 pieces left in my frigde and when I open the fridge, can smell the durian already. Imagine how pure the durian puree is.
Afterthought : Its true. In one night, you will be able to know where you stand in everyone heart and life. =)
Overall, I enjoyed myself A LOT! Hope you guys too. Taking leave tomorrow to have a good rest at home.
Thanks for all the presents. Love them all!
Looking forward to the date with darren later. loves.
