i did lunch with fishy today. poor fishy has been jioing for shenton seafoodies lunch to no avail coz the 3 of us are always so busy or not in office.

always pass by this place and find it very appealing! I pointed it out to fishy and she was enticed as well.

the interior of the place....







by the time crabby, clammy and myself got there, we were really late. I can just go on and on about how busy i am but i shall not. haha.. so so so sorry for the wait!

the place by night is like a restaurant cum bar thingy. its kinda funny to us how come the executive ang mohs all like to stand outside the restaurant to chat and drink. no seats, just tall tables and they stood there for as long as we sat inside for dinner, chats and all. next time i also want to open bars like dat. no need chairs, just lotsa tall tables .. also no need to pay for aircon... operation costs so low! haha

but the whole feel of this place reminds me of perth and makes me miss it so so much! i wana go back!

and in fact, crabby just came back from her Perth trip and she got us some candies and chocolates from Darrell Lea...


yummy! its mine loh! but they keep eating and eating.. and eating..  haha.. ok, actually not mine, i just happily self declare its mine coz i don't want the starburst gummies and im a meanie, i don't allow them to eat more den 1. haha

ok, surprise time!

first surprise, squiddy permed her hair!!



Was quite funny when we were chatting on msn on sunday and squiddy said she has a surprise for me when we meet and immediately i told her i haf a surprise for her too! but she couldnt wait to contain her surprise...erm.. ok, more like i couldnt wait to let her keep me in suspense so i forced her to tell me what her surprise is. haha...  anyway, she looks good in the hair... not a very substantial difference coz her original hair already has very nice big locks.

den its my surprise... of coz i refused to tell her on sunday. i actually bought all the seafoodies i found in ikea on sunday for them. I placed them all in a TCC paperbag and carefully sealed it up! Stupid fish and clam, when i told them got surprise and pointed to them that its inside the bag, they gave me a sianz jit pua look and said.. " huh.. u bought some cake or pastry is it? "

TMD.. even if its cake or pastry, its also bought wif money oki! summore its the thot that counts!

so anyway, surprise!

crab for crabby....





fish for fishy....





fishy kish kish smelly....



and 'squid' for squiddy....



squiddy corrected us once again that this creature is OCTOPUS, not squid. this is like her duno how many times correcting us...

lesson for today.....



hahahhaa!

and if u noticed or recall, i didnt manage to find any clam @ ikea. i was prepared to come w/o a clam... anyway i didnt find any prawny too... but i think n think n i think! i recalled there is a chocolate in clam shape one!

hehe.. so clammy got surprise too!!!



clam chocolates!

da jia kai xin!

food!

We ordered 4 mains and shared...

some steak pie thingy....





it was not too bad... quite salty though. the beef cubes were average but the mashed potato that came with it was pretty superb. 

mushroom risotto....



hee hee hee.. i loved it! coz its got a certain blue cheese taste. aside from crabby, the rest hated the strong blue cheese taste so... *evil laughter* i got to finish most of it! ngiak ngiak ngiak....

lobster pasta....



smelly and fishy found the lobster... haha.. smelly! haha.. smelly said the lobster had a amnonia taste which i didnt detect. i found the lobster ok. the pasta tasted like some zz char stall's fried bee hoon though.

their beef burger....



it looks good but didnt taste extraordinary. in fact the patty seemed to be a little dry. it looks better den it tastes.

smelly treated for the meal, thank cute! he said credits to be given to fishy though, everyone, thank cute fishy! haha

Statue came over with a friend of his (Steven) to join us...



Steven seems like a pretty nice guy to chat with and freaking rich. hahaha! we kept teasing him for being rich. haha

it was a good time catching up with the seafoodies again. i feel like i've been so busy i've not had time to catch up with them much.

our group pictures..... we found Rogues too glam for us to do our tak glam self taken shots so we left for a secluded dark spot....







den just as we were perfecting a nice good pic for our monthly gathering, some group of people came in and we decided to walk out from that spot..

just as we were thinking of where to go and whether to continue etc.. u know, the usual when u put 5 women together, everywhere anything also can talk and just stop one. so anyway, first was to tell them how clammy looks major cute in her jap-o dress today and immediately clammy did a act cute pose....



den fishy who was also wearing a dress said she also can....



so they decided to do it together....



den crabby who was also in a dress also dun wana su seh....



den me and squiddy were in pants.... but our pic damn ugly... coz we did a stern corporate look. haha.. not showing u!

but they said squiddy looks so sophisticated and refined so decided to take one of her alone but she turned vulgar...



hahhaa..

den den.. back to our monthly pics, seafoodies officially have a new terminology again!

it all started when clammy took up the camera while we were busy chatting away and tried to do a fish of herself and somehow the rest of us all seem to haf our radar on the camera and very automatically, we all squeezed and posed....



and the picture turned out quite nice! 

so....

Doing a fish - v.
To secretly take a picture of oneself using someone else's camera without informing and surprising the owner with he/she uploads the photos

Doing a prawn - v.
To secretly take pictures of unsuspecting or suspecting victims and post them on her blog to surprise them

Doing a clam - v.
This action involves more than one person. To secretly hold up the camera attempting to do a fish only to find a couple more ever ready and over enthusiastic seafood squeezing into the picture.



and naturally, we started to do a lot of clams....









it was quite funny.

clammy was very tired so she left first to head home to sleep.

fishy as usual, did her fishes.. i found all these pictures after i uploaded them onto my pc....






She got squid to do fishes wif her also....





and while we were sitting around chatting, fishy did her cute stunts again....





and we noticed there were 4 posters on the wall and we tried to get fishy to do all the poses of the poster girls....



another one but duno how come steven got into the picture... his pose also very funny!!



balek!



den den den.. the peak of the night came. crabby suddenly said to us.. " omg, look at the posters! its us! prawny u see! that one is my hair, this one is your hair, squiddy's hair and that is fishy! "

and true enuff, she was right and ... muahaha.. i duno if she regretted sharing her observation because immediately, we got into Plan Poster Girls. hahahahhaa

crabby started first coz hers was the first poster... but coz the poster girl was wearing a jump suit like string and pulling along, she had to find something to string along and den!!! squiddy took out her octopus and.....



HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAH!! and crabby looks like she has got stiff neck!! hahahahahha!!

not sexy enuff!



den fishy's failed attempts....



my failed attempts are too ugly, i dun want to show u! hahahaha

squiddy's one was the only one dat is one and done!

and finally.......



and with a bit of editing...



we had a lot a lot of fun doing it. we were luffing like crazy ... it was really funny! hahahaha...

at the end of the night, statue sent me and squid back. thank cute!

My maid is off today

I din haf a deep sleep. Havent been having deep sleeps these days. I heart deep sleeps! Please come back to me~~

The first thing i did was to call Jo to check up on her but she couldnt really talk coz she's on her way out to meet her customer.

I called Jo again on my way out, she sounded really ok and yeah, we spoke of how stubborn she can be. Once she decides on something, she wun care even if she koes its wrong or not beneficial on herself or anyone else and no one can change her mind until she herself suddenly realises she's just being difficult and den slowly softens. Otherwise, no matter how, no matter who speaks to her, nothing goes in and she'll only end up getting frustrated. haha.. but im glad she's fine. While speaking to her, i almost cried as well.

Turns out dat Jack couldnt get tickets for the movie 'The Fog' and so he got 4 tickets for Big Momma at night. At the same time, Meina texted to ask if i've got any programmes tonight so i got her to join us. But because Jack booked the tickets by fone, chances are its not possible to get another ticket dats seated together so i thought if anyone should sit that seperate seat, i'll gladly take the seat to have Meina join us for tonight.

Before heading to school, i went over to Chinatown's Tong Heng to buy egg tarts for my maid. He's been pretty nice these days and yes, today is his off day where i'm supposed to be nice to him. So i got him his favourite egg tarts...



of coz, i also got extra for seafoodies and rachel.

When i got to school, i waited for them to have their break. I was surprised dat Eekoon was in the lecture as well! haha.. she came to sit in with Elyn. I gave them an egg tart each... but Elyn doesnt like egg tart.. i think Rachel doesnt like them either.

Eekoon brought along a lomo camera.. and it so happens dat the colour of the camera matches her top today so well!



Doesnt she just look like the spokesperson for the camera? I think Eekoon is very stylo and cool!

We continued to sit outside the LT after the break.. everyone was just lazy to head in... Sonia even used her innocent and gentle tone to answer us " i dun want " when we asked if we should go in. Haha....

But today, we got surprised! The charming lecturer actually came out of the lecture to ask us to go back in... haha..

I realised i brought the wrong set of notes. I know, how terrible. And Eekoon was helping us copy notes on the board....



Because i had earlier told my maid dat we're all waiting for him, he took a cab down pretty early so when he arrived, i went out of lecture to pass him the egg tarts.....



Although its his day off, although i did say i will try to be nice to him, its not easy. So at times i do still show my temper and show him this look....



and this is him imitating how i look when i diao him....



den he asked me to pose thinking of the flowers he got me again. Just like how i posed the previous time at marche....



and den he said this is how he looks thinking about the egg tarts i got for him.....



After lesson ended, i was telling them i need to urgently pay my starhub bill, it was den i realised how i din koe my school. Haha. i never really realised we've got a SAM machine in school. While paying the bill, i realised i din haf enuff $ in my DBS bank a/c... how embarassing. miu~

After i paid my bills, together with Elyn and Eekoon, we headed to town. By right we were supposed to go meet up with Lea and Jack but because we had to buy some stuff, we left the two of them to continue their chats at Coffee Club.

When we got to town, Elyn and Eekoon went shopping and i got Elyn to go look for lil bee at his workplace to get the lights he got for her from Thailand.

Humbert and i first went over to get some finger food like Tori Q and crystal jade's carrot cake and bo luo bao.

After dat, we went over to Takashimaya because he said he wants to use the voucher he got for his bday to buy Jewel more dears (Jewel's favourite pink dolphin toy). He said he'll buy 100 of the dolphins for Jewel and confuse Jewel. haha.. his $50 vouche where got enuff for 100? lol.. also, there were only 3 pink dolphins left.

Over there, we saw the cute lil piggy in the korean drama serial Jin San Shun!



PS: Yunqi, u mentioned u were looking for this right? Its available at Takashimaya, the level where Mcdonalds and KFC is located.

I merely wanted to take a pic with the pig but he ended up buying me the pig as well to top up to $50.

In the end, using the $50 voucher, we bought....



3 pink dolphins for Jewel, a Jin San Shun piggie, a yellow duckie for himself and a white duckie for his girlfriend, Jack. Total added up to $50.40 cents...

Den i got him to go up to the cosmetics level with me because i got reminded of the Dior promotion dat Sorina told me yesterday!



Only $225, very worth it right? The pouch itself would probably be sold at duno how much already. I LIKE~ Recollecting that i still have $160 worth of Tangs voucher from dar dar, i got Humbert to accompany me walk over to Tangs to get it! Hee.. so happy. The products inside can be given to mummy summore! Mummy's birthday is coming i still duno wat to get her.

After we were done buying all the stuff, we walked over to Coffee Club to look for Jack and Lea. We were both so tired and complaining already. Haha. Our feet were aching and we were both feeling so upset dat the distance is too short for us to take a cab... hahahahaa....

When we got to Coffee Club, we were so disappointed to see Jack and Lea coming out from Coffee Club because the both of us badly wana take a seat! hahaha....  And den he passed Jack the duckie he got Jack....



Which Jack obviously wasnt very impressed. hahaha... We called Elyn and Eekoon asking if they wana join us for dinner at Newton. With their green light, we went to pick them up from Far East.

The food we ordered at Newton.....



Everything's about the same except dat super big tiger prawns. hee.. i've been wanting to try it. I like big big prawns! I also like haybe (pun intended for dar dar.. haha)! But i dun like those not big not small prawns. lol...

The super big tiger prawn was very nice but not cheap. One costs ard $24! Next time i save $ i will go eat at least 3 of it! muahahhaa...

and some pictures of us girls ......



and i cant remember after wat conversations, Jack jokingly teased dat Humbert has a hard life because of how i treat him... den i teasingly got pissed with Humbert saying since im making life so difficult for him den he should not talk to me anymore....  Who cares if its his off day~ Bleah~ I refused to speak to him after dat

Den when i was trying so hard to pick up some stingray, Humbert snatched my fish! I lagi dun want to tok to him.. even when he tried to get me some of the sting ray, I DUN WANT. =p 

In the end, Elyn had to help him pass the fish to me. And because i cannot scold him, Elyn was my spokesperson for the day.... haha.. Elyn and Humbert also became like good friends, alot of things to say!



And Eekoon was also playing with her lomo camera...



dun u think she looks so stylo in this pic? lol

And i think Humbert took this shot of me and Lea and his 100 plus can drink.....



oh yeah, with the testimonial of Lea, we managed to upgrade my Olympus from Humbert to a Sony T9. Wahahahhaahaha~

Alex called and i think he was probably bored but he asked me to continue to have fun and i told him i'll try to call him if im home early.

After dinner, Jack dropped Elyn and Eekoon off at Plaza Singapura whereas we went over to Marina Square to meet up with Meina and we caught the movie Big Momma's House 2. My favourite in the show would be the lil kid Andrew. He's so cute.. i kinda adore lil children .. oki, minus off the parts where they start crying for unknown reasons. haha...

While watching the movie, realised dat W texted twice asking to meet up for drinks. We girls kinda find his textes real CKP ie. Chee Koh Pek.

After the movie, Meina said she was going off to meet Sorina for drinks at some ktv pub. The rest of us decided we'll go meet up with Elyn and Eekoon to head down to the PS Cafe dat Elyn has been raving about to us.

While walking to the car, Humbert was still trying to get me to talk to him.. so Lea and Jack were walking in the front and we were at the back. Later he said we should take pictures but everytime out pics turns out not nice... so along the way, we hid behind pillars and took one pic after another......



all not nice!

den walking to the carpark, saw this really big prawn picture on the wall... haha.. as im known as prawny within the seafoodies group, i got Humbert to help me take a picture of me and the picture...



haha.. oki, not nice also... ya, i koe its coz im not nice. haha

We picked Eekoon and Elyn up from Parkmall and they directed us to the PS cafe. Its somewhere near Ministry of Foreign affairs and British Council.... actual address is 28 B Harding Road. We took notice of the address because Meina called saying she and Sorina may wana join us but it was too hard for us to direct her in already because it is quite ulu a place.

But the place is totally beautiful! Its like someplace that came out from nowhere. From where we parked, we walked in through a trail of wooden planks with spotlights gently shining to lead us on along the way....



Upon reaching the place, it felt more like im visiting someone's house party more like a cafe.... and despite being located at such a ulu location, the place was bustling with life!



The interior of the place....



The place had an excellent setting and view. The decor gave the place a somewhat laidback yet classy style. Great music was playing in the background matching the ambience of the cafe.

For a great review of the place, click here. I'm so going back there because all we had for the night were drinks.....



From left: chocolate shake (Humbert, Elyn and Eekoon had that), cold chocolate (Lea had that), bloody berry (Jack drank that), Peach Fizz (i had that).

All the drinks were not too bad but reading the reviews, it appears they've got a fabulous dessert menu. I AM SO GOING BACK THERE!

Oh, actually, aside from drinks, we also had an eye candy. haha.. there was this server there, by name of Pierre, he was such a hot hot hunk!



hahhaa... picture doesnt do him credit in my view! Hes like some model material! We got his picture because because Humbert told him we're on some project looking out for good looking guys. >.< A lil unethical but it was too late to stop Humbert after he had already told it to Pierre. I thot even if by being honest, Pierre would most probably have obliged. haha..

and a picture of Humbert massaging Jack....



We stayed till the cafe closed. Operating hours are from 6.30 pm till around 1.30 am on weekends. Closed on mondays.

Jack sent us back. Humbert sent me upstairs and on our way up, he told me he had a very very very good day and hes sad dat a day is so short because after today, its his off day no more and dat means i dun hafta be nice to him! Yay!! =p

I texted Sorina and Meina when i got home checking on how they are. Apparently Michael went to join them. Exchanged a couple of smses with Meina.

The new korean drama after Jin San Shun isnt my cuppa tea at all. It looks like those super sad kinda drama... i dun like!

After i bathed and all, i was so tired i fell right asleep!

Oh ya, to my maid, im waiting for ur blog entry oki. *diao you*
