Wee… Had a super wonderful night at firefly yesterday. I thought  i wont be enjoying especially after the issue that happened at work. Its good meeting up with some old friends. It makes me happy!!

I was late for out gathering dinner at Din Tai Fung at Wisma. As usual, clearing Sh*t at work. Anyway, i reached an hr later.. haha.. Sorry gals! Jen Jie and Jasmine ordered the food already, so once i reached the food are served. =) We were chit chatting all the way. And it seems like the waitress are kinda impatient with us.. their body language signal to us to faster eat and leave. I even make fun and said that maybe we will eat till the shop ‘Da Yang’ or maybe until their last order. And true enough, the waitress came at 930 and asked for any last order from us! Haha.

Yummy!! Xiao Long Bao is nice. We gt a complimetary 6 mini red bean bao with spending above $50. Oh my.. pls dun bother to order this dish. So sweet!! Imagine i’m a person that love sweet stuff and i find it so sweet.

Then we went to FireFly at Marriot Hotel and join in Xiao Pang. He had made a reservation over there. And actually, it was a night meant to celebrate Xiao Pang Birthday! Oh my.. so maloo because we dunno. And it was his fren (Uncle Joe) that told us. He wants us to make him drunk (he nv get drunk b4).  We did! We tried all means but Xiao Pang also very smart in ‘Siam-ing’ Haha..

It was a fun night to let out, relax and have fun. There’s also a live band. Mostly playing canto songs.. but also other songs if you request. Age group seems more towards the 30s.

Prawn Catching at BottleTree Park

August 23, 2009 at 1:46 pm | In InteRestiNg PLaCes, It's my Life, PhOtos | No Comments

The prawn catching session at BottleTree Park is so damn fun!

bottletree_001-300x199

There are 2 ponds and the uncle is so kind enough to let us go to the other pond which he said is meant for group booking. There were only a couple and 3 of us. So we expected higher chance of catching more prawns. Heehee!! We used the  free bait that was provided by them. Some kind of meat sliced into very tiny pieces. Hm… we waited for almost 1 hr but with no luck. Could feel the prawns biting on it. But when we pulled the rod out, it got away. Umhh!! Then we decided to use live worms. Luckily Colin was there to help us with the worm. Wow!! Prawns do like that. Once the rod is in the water, could feel the prawn biting it.

Claris was the first one to catch a prawn.

Then Colin decided to climb over the fence  and trying his luck on the bridge. Well… that is a super good spot! Many prawns hiding under there! Woo~ and suddenly, he just kept catching non stop!

So both of us ladies waiting patiently. Occassionly changing spots.

Even under the sorching sun also worth it! Just to catch a Prawn. Hahaha…

Time really passed fast man… and we stopped at 7.45pm when its too dark for us to see.

Woohoo…

Then its time to BBQ the FRESH PRAWNS!!

Total victory. 16 prawns + 4 prawns given to us by the couple.

Colin is the King of Prawn! He caught a total of 12 prawns. Wow!!

We wanted to try out the Long Kang fishing, but it is only for kids. But still , the uncle is kind enough to let us try. Ya lo.. got $$ why don’t want. Haha.. But its too dark. And we are rushing back to collect the dogs before the pet shop close. So next time then!

We will be back to BottleTree again for more fishing!! And to take our photo with the bottle tree. The one shown in the picture below.

Shall update the photos once Claris send to me.. =)

Last Saturday was a day that filled with so much fun and laughters. We met up with Colin, Claris and Charles for breakfast at Paya Lebar. Went for our favourite Roti Prata and Duck porridge. Yummy! The best prata in Singapore!

After breakfast, we went back to my place to pick up the steamboat pot and gas (the retro type) before heading down to Punggol to get the steamboat stuff. There’s this supermarket, call ‘Hong Mao’, the stuffs over there are real cheap. Was told that the first branch was open at Ang Mo Kio, this is the 2nd branch. Hm… Bryan and i were incharge of the steamboat stuff while colin and claris went to buy their daily necessities for theit home. Buget was $10/pax, sinnce there are 7 ppl, so we can really buy lots of stuff!!!

Head back to Coralinus, bryan prepare the soup base while we change and prepare to go to swim. Yippy!

To be honest… we left a lot of unopen food still in the fridge.. We have 1 side tom yum soup and 1 side chicken ikan billis soup.. Yummy!! Conclusion… steamboat at home is more SHIOK and value for money.. Wahaha.. Oh! And not forgetting out banana split dessert! :-)

Watch Harold and Kumar to White Castle. I love this movie!!

Played monopoly till the wee hours before going to bed…

C&C solemnisation party at DOME

June 20, 2009 at 11:43 pm | In Events, It's my Life, PhOtos | No Comments

~Congratulations~

Attended Colin and Claris solemnisation at DOME, just beside the art museum. Woke up real early on a saturday. As Bryan will be helpping out to ursher the guests, so we got to be there earlier than 9am.

The feeling was very nice.. the weather was just fine and everyone was Happy!!! :-)

The whole event took 3 hrs. With the Solemnisation followed by buffet. The solemniser was funny. He asked everyone to be more cheerful and to relax.
