Wanna try the army ration?

I've always been curious with hubby whenever he mentioned about the army ration. The food being packed in a green plastic bag (didn't manage to take a pic of it)... But he manage to sneak back a packet and let me have a taste of them. Conclusion... Yikey... !!!

Here are some snaps of the food

Chicken Noodles with Mushroom - too salty to taste

Chicken with water chestnut dumpling - taste muddy, so I have to try with my Lingham's Chili Sauce to cover that muddy taste.. hahaha

Dessert - Sweet potato with barley soup, this is the nicer bunch

What a Night Out....

Sounds like a complicated outing arrangement to begin with. The day before, David asked us (Hida, Adel and me) to his place for a champagne party. We were quite hesitant to unless its else where like clubs or pubs. Still trying to find excuses not to go. Anyway, my buddy Steven, sent me a message on Facebook for an invitation to Rock Out @ Harry's - Time Out's Ultimate Happy Hour Series at Chijmes @ 6:30pm. I wanted to just pop by for a "Hi & Bye" and leave for home sweet home. But somehow, David kept asking us about the night out and we can't seems to give him a confirmation on whether to go or not to go. So finally I told him I am meeting my friends at Harry's and he said, "OK... we all go there... ".. SHIT!!!! Anyway, whatever... I could do a 'One Stone kills Two birds" you know... hahaha..

Now, Hida as usual, needs to go home first to get shower and change for the night out, (she has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, yes!!! No joke... long story to tell ...just cut it short... OCD.. period).. and Adel has to pick up her car and while having to wait for them till 8pm ( I do not have OCD, hence I ain't going home to get change and come out again, which I will end up not leaving the house if I go home.. .hahaha.... ).. I went to have my hair treatment done and went to the Brides and Beauty fair at the convention centre to say hello to one of my client's wife who has a booth there. Did the "Hi & Bye" (and small chat)..then took a slow walk to Chijmes. I called Sharon and she was with Leon (her new beau)... and asked if they wanted to join me there. We met at the entrance of Chijmes and went to Harry's. Bumped into Adel there, yeah she arrived at the same time as I did, but I went in first to look for Steven. Found Steven but he was with his gf and friends. I didn't stay long with the group. Had a beer and left to join the rest at Bobby's.

At the table, were Adel, Prasanth, OMO and David. Hida, as usual, was late. But when she arrived, she drank like a fish. Hahaha.. I didn't drink much. Remember the house beer I had from Harry's? Yeah. At Bobby's, I only had half pint of Kilkenny. Thats It!!! That was all for the night for me. But as for the rest of the guys, the drinks were uncountable. I lost track of who drank what. Too many a drink they had. And Adel had the closest bet of the number of the total bill... so she won $4 from David. Hahaha... Then we went to Insomnia and the rest were crazy dancing and drinking. Bumped into Dennis and his son. They continue to order more drinks. NO more for me though. I know when to say NO.. and NO means NO!! I was left alone for a moment. The rest went to the dance floor and the live band was okie. Not bad but not that fantastic either. May be bcos I am not a live band person. Never like live band. I find them too noisy and can't hear a word they sing and all I heard was lots of screaming. Irritates me!! hahaha..

We left at about 11:45pm, and as hubby was leaving the camp, he came to pick me and Hida up.

Here are some photos of the night.

Nice view of the church at Chijmes when we were leaving for the night

Hida and her usual, Bird Mouth

Prasanth and his cock eye

Singapore's version of Charlie's angels?

...or Singapore's version of 3 musketeers????

... No No.. this is not what you thought it is... just so happened from that angle

Guess who's fingers???

Cock eye buddies

I told him... no cock eye with me... haha.. and he behaved...

Leaving with pose

More poses

Now... waiting for hubby..... nothing to do... we found something to do with the time to kill
again.. its not what you are thinking...

Nothing else to take.. hmm.. can try the toes... nice???

I wish my "yo-darling" was there... but someone has turned into a volunteered permanent driver (for lifetime). So there's no way he can come out to join any outing. Too Bad!! Wuahahaha!!!

Friday 14.08.09 @ 11:11am

Its Friday the 14th (Thank GOD its not Friday the 13th) and its P.O.E.T.S day... (Piss Off Everyone Tomorrow's Saturday).. wuahaha.. one of our client John, hates it when I said that. He is in his 70s and he will say..."No Lanny, its T.G.I.F, don't be mean." hahaha... Yes I am... MEAN!!!

On Tues, my order of Everyday Minerals came in from US. All the little samples bottles, shit.. where am I gonna keep these cuties? So I went to my store and found some wool balls which was left from making muffles for friends living overseas.

So I started crochet-ing 2 little pouches for my cuties...

... and since I still have some balance wool, I made this coaster for my "yo-darling"... not sure if he likes it...who cares? hahaha... it took me only 20 mins to get this done anyway.

Monday Holiday...10.08.09

Singapore National Day was yesterday, hence today is an official PH for all of us. We went to watch G.I.Joe at Shaw Balestier, 2:25pm time slot. Good show. Again, the lead actresses were all dressed in such tight body hugging costumes, niceeeeeee.... yummilicious for all those guys out there. Not surprise that my other half was drooling over those babes...hahaha.. I would have if I were a man. Haha... Sexy Sexy....!!!!!

Then hubby went for a hair cut as he will be "check-ing in" for his 2 weeks reservist from tomorrow. Damnnn... the thought of having to go to work by public transport for the next 2 weeks are such a pain. (Yes, I am spoilt).... hahaha... blame it on the man who insist on buying a car when I said NO NO NO... now I am such a b****.... hahaha... anyway ... I love being one... hehe... so its okie... shall continue to be one... who cares....!!!

While he was having his hair cut at Chapter 2, I went for my shopping adventure at Iluma, the new shopping centre in Bugis.

At the main lobby, LG was having a roadshow for their new mobile phone GD900 Crystal. Very nice phone with a transparent glass panel keypad.

I wanted to have a look at the demo set, but this uncle was hogging the phone as if it was his.... I stood there staring and waiting for him to finish "playing" with the phone. 5 mins passed and he was still "playing" with it (and doesn't seems to want to let others have a look at it)... selfish b*****d!!!

We went to First Thai for their authentic Thai food and had these.

Phad Thai with Seafood

Prawn Cake

Tom Yum Goong

Fried Olive Rice

Then went to my favourite Ah Chew's Dessert house, for my all time love, Mango Sago with Pomelo.

Now... after eating all these food... I am going for my run. :o(

Till then... adios....

Singapore Idol

Am watching Singapore Idol 3 now. The audition part is always the most hilarious part. There is this fat lady who claims to be the Asia Avil Lavigne. MY GOSH!!! The double version I guess. haha... I m not being mean (or may be I am.. yeah I am... ) but seriously, I have to give them my salute for having such guts to actually perform on national tv!

After the Singapore Idol 2, I thought there will not be anymore Singapore Idol 3 and so on. Season 2 was quite disappointing and seems like the real singing talents have gone to hide somewhere on this tiny little island called Singapore.

I have just made a big pot of dessert. White Fungus with Dried Longan and Red Dates. I miss mom's version. Still the best and I am gonna get her to do her version for me when I am home this month end. For now, I can only enjoy what I have from my kitchen.

Songs & Brownies

It has been a long time since I last downloaded songs or update my iTunes. Its time to do so. My brother has juz complained, that I used to pass him lots of new songs. But these days, he is the one who is doing that for me. Getting me all the new songs. But sharing is caring right? Hahaha... I am so lazy to download them now. Just get from friends or my BIL. He has loads of Mandarin songs, nice ones.

Love the song Push The Button by Sugarbabes... and sipping my F&N Orange... on a lazy Saturday....

I am thinking... may be I might be making my new creation, Cheesecake Brownies. We are meeting dearie Jac for dinner on Monday evening. So will wanna let her try some. She is a big fan of my brownies and has helped me a lot. And I would love to share what I make with her... she will not hesitate to give me her comments, good and bad. Just love her.

But for those of you who is thinking of asking me for my "secret" recipes, please pardon me. I've pain stakingly created these recipes with lots of trial and errors, and I am selling them too. I would not be in a state of mind to have given out my secret recipes just like that. So... hope you guys will understand that. Call me selfish.. but hey.. who isn't??? Hahah.... But, if you happen to be in Suntec area, (where I work)... I m more than happy to let you try them for FOC if I happen to make them during the weekend. *grin grin.. evil grin*... aiyah.... just order la... they are still very much affordable for the quality you are getting. :o)

Long Weekend.... National Day weekend....

Its noon time now, I was watching my HK TVB drama, On The First Beat, till the air-con men came to do servicing. Hubby very kiasu... every 6 months without fail, he will arrange for air-con servicing.

Its a whole day cleaning for him. He is a super clean freak and he does the major cleaning by himself as he thinks that no one can beat his standard of cleaning. So I just let him be and I can be a lazy pig watching my tv. He is happy to do it and I am more than happy to let him do it. Hahaha...Not that I don't want to do it. I used to be a clean freak and I trust no one to do cleaning beside myself. But after we got married and moved into our own home, I came to realised that he is even more clean freak than I do. Count myself lucky cos from then on... he does the cleaning himself and all I do... is mop the floor once he is done with everything. Hahaha.... Woohooooo... Lucky Lucky B****Y ME..... I trust him anyway. Haha....

So here I am, updating my blog. I was watching Mr.Brown's MV, damn cartoon la this fella... and I saw him on Frontline last nite on Ch 8. He seems to be super famous now, for imitating all the famous songs and turned them into either anti-government jokes, or something funny. He is a real joker and dare enough to do it. Well, you can say.... indirectly I idolise him in someway, for being funny and daring. I like people who are daring. Not coward!! Speaks whats on his mind. Huh? Its okie...

Check this out... funny too though not so funny's funny.
