Pre-Christmas rush

Met Yifen at Orchard MRT today for lunch at Sun with Moon. Went to Popular to look around as I've arrived earlier. Managed to find the fabric marker for $2.70 (Original price is $3) as Yifen has the Popular membership card. Had my usual Niku Udon and warabimochi. Bought a Meiji koala almond latte biscuit and also a Dome Oatmeal biscuit that is quite big. Met Ray and his friends at Adelphi as he wanted to get earphones.

Saw lotsa cute stickers and folders at the stationery shop in Funan. Quite surprise to see that they carry mamegoma stuff. Met David at tcc for coffee. Tried the mint choc freeze and it's quite nice. He got me lemon cookies from Crabtree and Evelyn...they taste very nice and i love the cookie tin. Took a bus home after checking out MC2 for the new laptop promotional prices. Still considering whether to get 1...

Sun with Moon

Went to Tampines to get my dosage of cute stuff from Lovely Land in Century Square. Went to the shop where I used to get 2 dresses for $50 and saw new bags...decided to get the black and white one for $29.90. Quite big and is waterproof. Took a train down to Dhoby Ghaut after buying some stickers and cute stationery from Lovely Land.

Went to Spotlight to get the felt cloth and also to Daiso to get the zipper. Soon my shopping bag became quite full.

After piano lesson, managed to contact Josh and we met up to have dinner at Sun with Moon. Ordered beef steak and warabimochi. He ordered a pancake, salmon canape, chawanmushi and also chirashi don that comes with miso soup. Shared most of the food except the rice. Waited almost an hour for him as there's a major jam at CTE. When crossing the traffic junction near Takashimaya, they had all the traffic stopped for pedestrains to cross anyway they wish. Quite cool. Went to Jalan Kayu to takeaway teh tarik as he didn't want the smoky smell to cling to his clothes. Went to the Seletar Reservior for the drink. Had a good time catching up.

Meet-ups

Met Celina at Orchard to shop and chat. Went around Takashimaya, Cineleisure and took a bus down to Art Musuem. But as the entry fee is $8 so we didn't go in. Walked over to Raffles City and there are quite a number of new shops like Agnes B, Topshop, Warehouse and Dorothy Perkins.

Met Delong to pass him his xmas gift and for dinner at Sushi Tei and tried the fish roe chawanmushi. The waitress forgot my salmon maki order so in the end didn't get that. Walked over to Suntec to get yami yoghurt and walked around for awhile before heading home. Weird that I didn't feel that hungry for dinner.

Foto gallery

Received an error sms several weeks ago asking me "Hi Miss Chew, you are invited to have a complimentary makeover and photoshoot with us..." and when they were notified of the error, the person invited me down for a photoshoot with my family.

Hence, arranged for an appt to go with sis today. We went to Chinatown first as we wanted to get some beads from Shinobeads. Foto gallery is opposite Shaw towers and is quite near to Bugis. The first look was casual and the second we chose the kimono look.

Walked down to Haji Lane next as it was featured in a tv show this week and the shops looked quite interesting. The show also mentioned that it's the narrowest road in Singapore. The clothes and bags were quite pricey and there were a few shops that were located on the 2nd floor only. If you were to ask me where to find the steepest steps on staircase in Singapore it would be here. As if you don't buy anything from the shop, you will tumble out from the 2nd storey. There's this store call pluck and it's quite interesting, selling clothes, accessories and also ice-cream and beverages.

Got a second-hand coin pouch for $9.90. Like the size, can hang it on my hp...quite cool. =)

Catching up

Met up with Jiahui at Compasspoint for dinner and catching up. Needed to pass her the xmas gift too. Had a good time chatting. =)

Book fair

Went to Suntec book fair with Mum and sis and got a Chinese-English storybook with CD for the kids and also another drawing of cartoon characters as they are quite affordable. Managed to find a Richard Clayderman piano book with CD for only $10.95. Had Pepperlunch for lunch and ate peach yami yoghurt. Went to the airport to fetch Dad next.

Shopping

Met Esther at Takashimaya for shopping trip. Went to Mango and managed to get the vest shirt for sis at $17 while I got a red dress for $37 (the color is similar to this font color). Esther found her cream colored coat and I like the design, especially the buttons. Went to Sun with Moon for my dinner and then shortly to Far East for her to get her hair clips.

Think I've tried MOS Burger's teriyaki burger before but don't remember it tasting so gd...haha, probably cos I'm darn hungry...

Mango sale

Went to Vivocity as I'm meeting Shuixian there for dinner. Shopped around first and went to La Senza. They are still having sale so got 2 bras for $45. Went to Mango next as they've just started their sale. Managed to try on the tee shirt and decided to get the grey background with lotsa shoes designs for $17. Went to Bodyshop to get the body focus product as there's a coupon with $20 discount. Got the mamegoma notepad from Page One. Got a ring from Diva for only $2.50. Bought her world magazine earlier on and managed to get the free samples from Lancester cosmetics in Tangs worth $30 and also Godiva chocs sample. Really like the Godiva choc packaging, gold tin can.

Had dinner at Sushi Tei. Went to Daiso and a few other stores with her before heading home.

Face shop product I fancy

Saw this product from Face shop and its case is amazing, just a push of the button at the side and it will flip open. Although it has alot of good qualities but it's super expensive! $49.90 and I can only get 5% discount...haiz...think have to wait for $$$ to come in before getting it...

ANTM

One of the shows I used to follow on Channel 5. Like their photoshoots as the make up and lighting can always make the models look so different and good. This photo is my fave shot of Jaslene. Renee's shot has a nicely angled arm while Natasha's shot is very sensuous. Think I'll always prefer a black and white or sepia print...got a nostalgic feel to the photo. Another show that I used to follow was Project Runway. It's amazing how the designers can work with the limited budget and come up with amazing pieces.

Granny's birthday lunch

Went to fetch granny and her maid to have lunch with 大姨，姨丈 and 阿雄哥哥's family to celebrate granny's birthday. Raye raye is so cute...halfway through the meal, he wanted to open the gift we got for him and he was trembling with all his might to open the pressie cos the double-sided tape was very strong. He was beaming with pleasure when he realise it was a fire truck. His mummy asked him to kiss me and my sis cos we chose the gift for him. He is so adorable! Took photos of him playing and also of him with me. And I like the way he says 水晶包 in teochew...super cute!!!

Thinking if I should get this...

Saw this in Kinokuniya...similar series to the one Delong got for me last year...wondering if I should get it...

Sisters' day out

Went to Oak3 with sis to find out from our uncle what her internship will be about. Took SBS 51 from Hougang Bus Interchange and the journey took almost 2 hrs...think we've travelled about half of Singapore already...

Since sis will start work only on Wednesday and it was still early, we decided to go to town. I bought a mamegoma file in Takashimaya and we went to search for a gift for Raye...settled for a Fisher Price animal fire truck. As there was free gift-wrapping services so we queue up for it. Went to Wheelock and got a ty xmas penguin... went to Isetan to get the pino milk tea ice-cream before going to Far East. Sis got a tee for $7 and I found a share bear for $5. Also bought a second-hand "Marley and Me" for $10.

Swim

Went to Granny's house for her birthday buffet..lots of people were there. Took photos with Raye...he is so cute! Keep smiling...went to Sembawang Country Club with Dad and sis. They played golf while I went swimming...think I got burnt...the sun was super scorching...

Children's storybook

Went to Bras Brasah to find children's storybooks and use up the LDS fund. Left with $15.25 so have to work within that budget. Managed to find a Max Lucado chinese children storybook for only $7+ and got another 2 storybooks. Spent $15.60 altogether. Tried the clam chowder from The Soup Spoon...it's really flavorful.

Japanese snack 3

Tried Pino with milk tea flavour...it's very nice!!! And it costs only $2 from Isetan...Tried picola with cinnamon and milk tea flavour..quite a special taste. =)

Shopping trip

Met up with Esther to go shopping in Bugis. Bought 3 pairs of earrings for $5 with one pair of fork and spoon for sis. The other two is made of wood. Quite nice. Helped sis get a black vest with ribbon pockets for $15. Quite a gd buy. Bought a dress for $20...quite retro looking, next time take a photo of it to show. =)

Cranberry

Got a lift from Raizal to go to Pasir Ris and took a train to Tampines as there's no Bodyshop store in Pasir Ris. Redeemed the $30 product rebate and got the cranberry body butter. Can't redeem for the white musk gift set with pouch. Like the purple pouch though...probably need to wait till warehouse sale then can get.

Yanni and Enya

Yanni's music is so majestic and powerful while Enya's music is so soothing...

What is this?!?!?

I can't believe this!

NE day

Went to Yio Chu Kang Grassroots Club for NE Seminar and Review of school workplan. They showed this video clip and it's really funny!!!

Product rebate

Went to Chung Cheng High (Main) near Paya Lebar for a sharing session. It was quite interesting with different teachers sharing different teaching techniques. After the course, went to Plaza Sg's Pasta Mania to have lunch with my colleagues. Walked down to Cineleisure to get the clip-on earrings converter from Diva ($3). There was a push-cart stall selling dangling earrings just outside the shop and it was quite cheap, 3 pairs for $5. Chose 3 silver coloured ones: one of tinkerbell, one of butterfly and one of small square shapes. Went to get my product rebate from Bodyshop as they expire by March next year and I have quite a few. Used one for the flawless skin protecting concealer (02). Then went to another outlet to get the red sparkle nail file and white musk smooth satin body lotion. Both need to top up a little money as the amount was not exact to the rebate amount. Can't use both rebates at the same time, so one was at Plaza Sg, the other at Centrepoint. Quite silly actually. Haha...

Teddy bear exhibition

Found out there's a teddy bear exhibition at the arts house for only 1 day so decided to go take a look. The exhibition is actually quite small and the bears are really cute. There's a japanese healing bear where there's crystals and a magnetic stone on it. Should be quite expensive. Went to Marina Square next and got my tinkertoes floral black wedges for $21.90. Went to Bodyshop at the Citylink to help the tapdance instructor get vit e stuff and also to get the facial wash for mum. Bought makeup remover, foot gel, plum shimmer lip gloss, mandarin orange body lotion and seaweed sunblock. Got another cosmetic pouch with smaller items and a lipstick for free cos spent $90+. It's scary when Bodyshop has sale or discounts...this time round for Star Loyalty members, it's 30% so I've spent like close to $300 for friends and myself.

Packed Sat

Went back to school for the P1 Orientation...have to help the tap dancers make up again like yesterday (Prize presentation). After the orientation, went to Raffles Place Hitachi Towers for my facial at Green Sanctuary. The lady said my face has quite good skin considering I don't use any products on it. She advised me to use sun block.

Managed to get the MOS Burger hp strap, the other 2 that was sold out at most places-Burger and tomato. Went to Far East next but can't find the skirt at Alano which costs $8. They still have the other 2 colors which I don't like.

After piano, went to Sherry's wedding dinner at Defu Lane 10. It's a small seafood restaurant and the food was very nice.

Seeing stars...

Was at Cityhall area 2 days ago and saw Zhou Chu Ming at a Delifrance outlet. He still looks as young as ever...wonder how he maintains that...Saw Feng Hui Si (FM 933 DJ) at Paragon taxi stand today...she's so proud looking...really stuck up...

Tap tap tap

Whole week of tap dancing practices and rehearsals...think I'm hearing the tapping noise even as I sleep...scary...

Screwed up...

Are you not challenged enough?

That was the question I was asked at work...what kind of question is that?

Haiz...just plain screwed up...

What's going on...

Been to East Coast Seafood centre some time last week with Mark. We actually walked over 1 hr from Kembangan MRT station to that eating place. Met up on Friday for dinner at Sun with Moon. The beef steak at Sun with Moon is fabulous. Love it! Yum...
Ratatouille is out but waiting for the price to drop first, now costing $15.90 for VCD. Managed to get "You are Special" by Max Lucado from Kinokuniya for $12+...been trying to look for the book. Went to Suntec with Sis on Saturday before going for piano lesson. MOS burger having a handphone strap xmas collection. Got the rice girl version. Sis got the fried chicken version. Very cute! Costs $2.50 with every set meal purchase. http://www.mosburger.com.sg/home.php

Received a facebook email from this guy who lives in Hougang too. Since he has nothing on for Sunday, we met up to watch Bee Movie at Cineleisure. Had dinner before taking a bus home. I got the fried chicken hp strap from MOS Burger too...

Shopping with colleague

Met up with Esther and had lunch at Gelare at Citylink...tried the mushroom pasta, the sauce is quite nice. Went to Marina Square to look for the t-shirt shop which I saw from the MS brochure. The shop is located on the 3rd floor and is called Sphere. The "addicted to shopping" tee that was advertised is sold out so I left my hp number for the salesgirl to call me when the new stock arrives. Got another pink color tee which says "I've lost my telephone number can I have yours?". Esther got a tee as well so it was $10 each (if just get 1 tee is $12). Bought a bracelet and necklace from Diva for $2.50 each. Both items are in the sale section. Went to Suntec to get Yami yoghurt. They have a new flavor so didn't get the usual peach yoghurt. Tried the macademia nut yoghurt. It's not as sour as peach and is quite nice. Went for coffee at Toast Box before taking the train home. My feet are so sore from all the walking...

Japanese snacks 2

Got new snacks from Isetan supermarket on Sunday. The mango gummy (similar to the orange middle gummy) tastes really good and the smell is quite strong. The meltykiss looks so tempting that I cannot resist not getting it. There's a honey lemon stick biscuit too. Spent almost $10 on snacks alone...scary. But it's Japanese snacks! =P http://www.meiji.co.jp/sweets/chocolate/meltykiss/

Sat Gathering

Met up with my jc pals at Riscotti, an italian restaurant at Riverwalk. Gloria, Ridzal, Charm, Tza, Harold and Guolong turned up. Had a nice dinner with lotsa chatting and even desserts. The desserts there are pretty good.

Met up Mark to try to catch a movie but unfortunately, there wasn't anything nice showing in Marina Square, Eng wah in Suntec was closed and not even Cathay has anything nice to offer.

Had a nice chat at Starbucks in Cathay then went to East Coast Park for more chatting before going home early in the morning..haha. Got this design your own tumbler from Starbucks for $16.90. Think it's so cool...

Ma Maison

Met up with Nick yesterday to check out...hold your breath...guys' selection of undies...haha...he was supposed to show me a range where there's international brands and guess what I saw in the shop...lacy briefs!!! Gosh, i nearly fainted...how can any guy wear that thing?!?!

Anyway, we went to Bugis next and I was trying to look for a big black bag but those that I see are quite PVC or plasticky looking. Had dinner at Ma Maison and spent quite some time chatting. Took the train to Tampines as he lives there and had a drink and more chatting at Starbucks.

Drinks

Went to Kinokuniya and managed to get a children's storybook that has both Chinese and English text and even a cd for only $9. Quite a cute story,《Dirty Bertie》. Went to the library as it's still early and managed to find an interesting book that's in the form of short online messages between some friends.

Met Michael at Wisma's taxi stand. Went to China Square for dinner at Sushi Tei. As we were there quite late, 9plus we could only order sashimi and sushi. The rest of the items are no longer available. There was a guy waiter who looked quite good. =P Walked over to Kazbar http://www.kazbar.com/ for drinks. The blueberry mojitos are nice. I like the portable lamp they have there. It's from IKEA. Reached home pretty late, around 130am I think.

Elements

Received a call a few weeks ago for a free body detox massage treatment from Elements in the Cathay. So arranged to go today at 345pm. The essential oil they used is lavender mixed with something else. The massage was quite alright but at some points it was quite painful as force is used. Went for piano lesson and headed home right after. Had a slight headache at night.

On Call

Met up with Aleman (Mexican) at Wheelock's Sun with Moon for dinner. He kinda got lost after he exited from Orchard MRT station so he took quite awhile to get there. Luckily a table was available or I would have to stand for quite some time. Tried the scallop and mushroom with beef teriyaki. Quite interesting. The sweet box was also very nice, with mango pudding, fruit jelly, chocolate wine ice cream and warabimochi. Went to Shaw centre (opposite pacific plaza) to get a cab and almost all the cabs that passed by had on call signs...waited for 1hr plus for a cab to come by. So sickening...
