Julie & Julia and my Mango Sago with Pomelo...

Its Monday and we love watching movies on Monday. Why? Because its Cheaper and Less crowded. I hate crowds, and as much as possible, I try to avoid going to town and shopping, with long queues.... NO WAY!!! Especially on weekends!... NAH... just so NOT me....

We watched Julie & Julia @ Eng Wah Suntec, 7pm. It was a good show, cooking with lots enthusiasm and love. I love cooking and baking in general. I bake brownies (my specialty), cookies, muffins, cakes, scones... just thinking and blogging about it, makes me want to bake something, but its late now. I don't want to have to clean the whole kitchen at midnight. LOL...

After the movie, while walking to Superhubby's office to collect the car at Odeon Towers, we walked to Ah Chew Dessert and had my all time favourite Mango Sago with Pomelo. Yummilicious and so irresistable. After which, I was contented enough to go home.

Kite Flying Day

When we were having dinner with Jac at the White Rabbit on Friday, we talked about our new hobby, kite flying and she got very excited and joined us today. She got herself a red big "sotong" kite.. she had wanted an orange color one, but the uncle didn't had that color, so the closest they could get is the red one. Quite close to orange, I think. But somehow, we can't seems to get it high up for too long and it kept dropping, she decided to change to a smaller one, but she ended up getting the same size but in black color instead. But most importantly, she loves her black "sotong".. Hahaha.. she is so damn funny and excited at the same time. You could see the little girl in her when she managed to get it fly up for about 10m for less than a min. So cute....Way to go Jac! We shall try again when you are back. The wind was very bad today. For the first time, we didn't see any kite that fly up above the sky as we usually do. Seems like the usual experts were not there today too. We guessed they must have done some homework at home and knew that the wind isn't good for kite flying today.

Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves and took some photos for fun.
Jac loves her "sotong"'s eyes




This "fish" is definitely non steam-able.... :oP
La bi xiao xin... I love to watch this cartoon.. damn cute and funny...

Me & SuperHubby and our kites ... setting up..




We were trying to get Jac's red "sotong" started flying
Thats SuperHubby's kite in the front, followed my mine. Remember I blogged about him changing my lizard kite without my knowledge? Yeah... he changed for the one with the red patch and gave me his previous one. I guessed he wanted a bigger kite and traded my lizard for this one. Damn... I missed my lizard kite. Even Jac thinks its cute.. Hahaha....
After that we went to Buangkok for dinner and shopped for some groceries at the 24hrs NTUC.. I saw these bunch of little hairy crabs. Previously, on Friday, at White Rabbit, she already mentioned that one of these days, we must try hairy crabs. (though I can't imagine eating its s****). Yikes.. But I can't help to take some pics of these little ones.. so cute.. and some of these were actually seen blowing bubbles... cuteee...I don't think I would have the heart to eat them. So "kelian"...

Dinner at White Rabbit on Friday 16.10.09 with my BFF Jac

We went to the White Rabbit at Dempsey.. as usual... we always got lost in Dempsey... we had to call Jac many times to ask her how to get to White Rabbit... at the end... a friend of hers came to meet us at Chang Korean Restaurant and led us from there. Damn.. we are very bad with Dempsey...

It was our first time there, and Jac's too. We ordered quite a lof of food and they were quite good..Thanks Jac, for the treat.

My all time favourite appetizer, Foie Gras.. this is a pan fried version.. hmmm.. yummy...


Escargot, frog legs and Ravioli...

Minced raw beef with quail egg in the middle served with french fries

I ordered the Wild Mushroom Risotto..I just love anything thats mushrooms...I am a mushroom craze..

Mac & Cheese.. tasted too strong of the cheese... we didn't like it and ate less than half the portion of it.

Jac had the BBQ ribs...she gave me a piece... quite nice..

SuperHubby ordered the daily special's Roast Sirloin with roasted potatoes...
Molten Chocolate cake and Passion fruit sorbet... Yummilicious...


Creme brûlée.. my all time favourite dessert...
Great!! I felt something ticklish around my lips when I was eating the creme brûlée and I thought I saw something sticking out from the spoon and I slowly took it out.. but to my amaze.. it never seems to end... and the more I pulled, the longer it seems. Then I realised.. it was a strand of hair... GOD knows who does it belongs to... Damn... We told the waitress and she offered to change for another one but I just can't imagine eating another set done by the person who might have dropped that strand of hair. Yikes..

The Pink toilet seat.

Last week, I was checking out some stuff at Daiso at Rivervale Mall. I couldn't help it but got this pink toilet seat cover for my toilet at home. Hahaha... I love PINK... I can wear all pink, pink top, pink skirt, carrying a pink bag, with pink gloss, pinky cheeks and pinky watch! When Jac sees me in such color combination, she will tell me "I really can't imagine you being so PINKY... so NOT you.. you are loud and "chor lor" (meaning rough in hokkien)... but pink is so not your color... its meant for sweet, demure and gentle lady".. Hahaha.. may be she is right but I just can't help not to like pink.. don't know why but I love pink since I was a kid. Never get sick of the color though. Even now, while blogging this, I just realised I m wearing a pink camisole and pink boxers with my pink bag beside me, pink key pouch and pink mobile phone right in front of me here. Hahaha...

A client once said to me, if he ever found something pink on the floor, it must be mine. Must have been me, who have drop it. Hahaha... great.. then I will not have to worry so much since everyone knows that now. So, anything you see on the floor, cute stuff in pink.. must be mine!!! Please bring them back to me. THXXXXX!!


I

Gone is my Lizard kite.... :o(

Remember the lizard kite I was talking about in my previous post? Now, my kind Superhubby got it changed to a better one, without my knowledge!! Arghh...he felt heart pain seeing me trying so hard to fly the lizard kite for a while and still couldn't get it up there... so when he went to buy dinner on the same night as I got the lizard ones, he sneaked out to get the kite changed to a parachute material ones, bigger too, as I heard. I have not seen it yet. May be on Saturday. No time to fly on weekdays as my schedulea are all packed up with office new launch event after work and meeting up with my BFF, Jac.

Anyway, once I get a snap of my new kite, will post it here for viewing pleasure. Till then.... adios!

Samsung AMOLED Dance Off

I happen to come across this video when I was browsing thru a site to vote for my friend for the Samsung video event. This group is hilariously cool. Yeah.. hilarious and cool. T o some people, they might feel very disturb with such dance act in such costumes. But I find them cool, as it takes a lot of courage to actually do what they did. Kudos to these "chicks".

Anyway, enjoy this video.

Kite Flying

Yay.... finally we've got our kite. First, hubby bought his kite, made of parachute material, and he paid SGD95.00 including the wheel of string. Initially we only bought one and there is only one of us who can fly the kite at a time and the other would only get to watch. Then, I decided, I wanted my own kite and bought a koi fish shaped kite. Its kinda long and huge, but somehow, it was quite difficult to get it fly high. May be due to my lack of skills, and not catching the wind at the right time, my koi fish refuse to go high up the sky. Then, we went again this late noon, and I decided to change the koi fish to a lizard. Wuaahaha...

This is my lizard kite, and why lizard of all shapes? Cos its uncommon. I do not want to fly a kite which when up in the sky, I can't tell which is mine. Too many kites!!!

The usual place was too crowded and Superhubby's kite got entangled with other kites many a times, so we decided to try our luck at an open field just right next to our block. Luck was on our side and the wind was good enough to get his kite high high up above the sky. Parachute material kites are easier to fly comparing to the normal ones, which is the one I bought. Though I paid $20 for the koi fish but changed it to the lizard which is only $15, but I kept changing and the owner was kind enough to let me do so without complaining. So no refund then.

Here is a shot of SuperHubby trying to keep his kite. Location: An open field next to our block.

Saw this amazingly long kite last weekend. I counted, around 200 little kites along the string. I am gonna make one for myself when I have the time. Its not difficult to do it but need lots of time though.
So long that they need few pairs of hands to help keeping the kites...Hahaha...
Slowly pulling in one by one and keeping them in a box, one by one too... so they will not get tangle up...
