Day out with my colleagues

On Friday, we went out to Changi Airport for lunch.. we had Thai food.. it's was our CHARLIE's birthday.. CHARLIE was our IT guy, dennis... cos the whole dept is full of gals, except for my boss, we had became the angels.. and him, of course Charlie...

We had a specially made b-day card for him.. can't find it else where... he was touched and we had a nice time talking over lunch..

at night, we went off for our gym session... of course, CHARLIE is too lazy to join us.. in the end, only the girls went.. we made an appt with Fitness First..3 of the gals (incl me) tried our hands and legs on yoga for the very 1st time... i can tell you.. my hands and legs felt like breaking, as a result of over stretching.. but then i felt so relaxed after the session and my posture felt better too.. we sort of fell in love with yoga..

am going to try my hands on yoga after my current session ends...

倚天伏龙记

Was catching this old show ‘倚天伏龙记’ with dear on SCV free preview channel.. after watching 2 episodes, I concluded that this is a comedy.. instead of a 經典. The show was really hilarious.

Caught who is playing “Zhou ZhiRou”.. It’s “Ru Fei” from the show, War & Beauty…. Time really flies… and then there is “Xiao Zhao”.. know who played that, it’s Shao MeiQi (Ekin’s ex girlfriend).. oh my god, she got so much baby fat when young…then there’s “Zhang Wu Ji” played by one of dear’s favorite actor, Tony Leung.. boy, hw was so so young back then..

There was this scene where “Xiao Zhao” and “Zhang Wu Ji” was trapped in the secret chamber and to ease the boredom, “Xiao Zhao” began to sing a “obang” song.. really can’t make it…

I can tell you, there is too much funny things in the show which resulted in me concluding that it is a comedy.. decided to go and rent it, if I am able to find it and re-watched it with dear.. am sure we would have more funny things to tell after that =P

Chinese New Year Eve

This year Chinese New Year eve is a little different for us.. We are celebrating it as Mr. & Mrs Lim…initially, we are still pondering over the fact that how to go for reunion dinner at both side of the families.. in the end, we decided to have our reunion dinner together as one big family… this is all thanks to Quality Hotel…

Just a couple of months ago, dear received an email from Quality Hotel abt this reunion dinner package that they are having… S$38+++ per pax for a Chinese buffet dinner on Chinese New Year Eve.. the price looks reasonable for the quantities and varieties.. so after discussing with both side parents, dead and I decided to treat both families to this dinner… the idea was really cool… saved all the hassle…

We arrived at the hotel abt 7.30pm… there’s lion dance performance at the lobby.. the lion even gave the audience 4 digits to buy.. as usual, my dad and father in law looked very interested in those numbers… not sure if they bought it though..

Dinner was pleasant for me and dear.. we had our share and felt satisfying… but our parent just found it okay… maybe the food is too cold and not very up to standard as those prepared for my wedding day.. guess that’s buffet..

Dear and I decided to continue with this practice so as to save all the troubles of cooking.. but this time round, instead of receiving emails, I’ll be proactive and go searching for Chinese restaurant.. will make sure that this time round, the food is gd for all pple =P

Quiet Valentine Day

This year V day was a quiet one for dear and I. We are not very peculiar about buying presents for one another. Instead we prefer spending quiet, quality time with each other…

We had dinner at home. Dear even made it a point to go home earlier… after dinner, we went to Hougang Mall to have ice cream.. there’s this Gelare Ice Cream at Hougang Mall 2nd floor.. I loved the ice cream there..

We had a seat near the railing where it’s overlooking the ground floor open space.. the crowd is there.. guess that signify the coming of Chinese New Year..

Dear had a banana split.. while I took a waffle basket.. the ice cream.. it’s simply YUMMY YUMMY…

After having ice cream, we went to shop at the big pasar malam beside Hougang Mall… the tent built is really huge but no a lot of stores are opened… sigh…we went one round and bought food for supper then wrapped our V day..

Though it’s simple, we kinda like it that way… quiet but sweet.. just nice for the 2 of us..

Play! DVD

Me & dear came upon this Play! Machine at Bishan, near to Charles & Keith. This machine is a very interesting concept and both of us were very captivated by it. Dear registered as member and set up an account. After which, we start renting DVDs that are available in the machine. There are machines at major MRT and each machine holds different DVDs listing.

We started off renting DVDs like The Breakup (by Jennifer Aniston), Rob B Hood (by Jackie Chan… oh my god.. this is hilarious).. Aquamarine (the mermaid show played by Julie Roberts’ niece)... Elizabethtown (played by Orlando Bloom)… On the Edge (Chinese movie by 张家辉) and the latest on the list is Kung Fu Mahjong 2… can you image this.. all of the above for a mere S$18….. if me & dear go see movie… S$18 can only allow us to catch 1 show for the wkend…

So conclusion, we like Play machine a lot and we’re going to make use of it many many more time soon in the future =P

My Little Cousins from Malaysia

Last wk, during one of the wkday (wed), fifth uncle brought his 2 little sons to Singapore for a visit and stayed over at mummy place.. found out that it's a public holiday for themm.. m'sia really has lots of PH... while we only have that few....

the babies had grew up since the last time i saw them at my wedding... yongjie is as shy. but he's really disciplined.. offered him a mini ice-cream after dinner and he actually rejected my offer.. Told me, "I can't eat ice cream.. i got cough.." really a gd boy, huh...

the younger bro is so much different now.. grown so much taller from the last time i saw him.. now even too heavy for me to carry.. i still rem last time, he barely talk.. we ask him qn, he will only give a one or two word answers.. now he is so talkative that we almost flipped off the chair... daddy brought him out shopping, and he will start pointing at all things, and ask.. WHY WHY WHY... guessed it's the WHY age now for them..

Me & mei mei brought the 2 boys to the playground and they were like birds let loose off the cage.. they ran ard and played.. as usual, the timid me will be so scared that they will trip and fall, so i ran rd behind the younger one too..

guessed we worried too much the other time when zhijie talked so less.. guessed it's late starter.. but at least he started.. =P

wonder when the next time i'll get to see them.. miss the babies ard.. opps, they no longer babies now.. young little boys now.. =P

Oriental Night Out =P

On Friday Night, my colleagues and I went out for a buffet night at Oriental Hotel… Went to their "Melt The Pot" café.. I supposed the name is correct. Dun really rem the name, just can't seem to forget the food..

Went there cos one of the colleagues' frenz is woking there as a manager.. so we got discount, of course.. the original px of the buffet is S$58 per pax.. can you imagine spending S$58.. and i'm not the buffet kind of person so the discount is really gd for us.. it turn out that each of us got to pay only S$19.. gd deal, right..

The buffet spread is really gd.. There's the Japanese corner.. With sasimi & lots of sushi.. Then there's the seafood station.. There's cold prawn, lobster and oysters etc etc.. Of course, I din really touch all these except for the cooked sushi… I dun wanna vomit out my food or get a stomach upset after eating all these horrible things.. ke ke ke.. dear wld have enjoy it if he's there..

I went for the traditional corner where there's chinese + malay food..got a spread of dory fish, beef, chicken +++ got fish maw soup too… there's also a grilled station located off the balcony of the restaurant.. Tried the bbq chicken and lamp chop and suasages from Germany.. YUMMY YUMMY

we also get to have drinks tog with over meal and a thai food from another restaurant.. All thanks to the compliments from our colleague's frenzs..

Of course, I'll not leave out the dessert… ke ke ke.. My favorite section of all.. Almost had a cake of every flavour.. Had freshly made waffles + mixed fruits strudels as well.. Tried the fondue too.. Yum yum…. Oh, there's also the ginseng agar agar that i must talked abt.. real nourishing + real cool stuff..

It has been a great night out with all my colleagues.. Looking forward to the next outing, which is gg to be work out session…BJ organising it.. I'll be organizing the one after hers.. Going to keep a look out on interesting places to go now…

the day ended with dear picking me up and giving my colleagues a ride home.. Tks dear, so sweet of you =P

Aerobic Dance Class

I went for my 1st lesson of aerobics dance class on Monday. Previously had taken kick boxing classes but 妹妹 felt that she din sweat enough during the class. Anyway, we 2 wanna try something new, so in the end, we chose this dance class.

For the class that went past, I went alone cos妹妹 fell sick.. down with stomach flu.. but served her right for eating so many junks.. she had durians, ribena, fried chicken wings and pizza… all in the same day…she ended up vomiting and having diarrhea and body aching for the following 2 days.. Now she dared not eat too much already..

The class is led by a middle aged lady, name Margaret.. she looked to be in her late 30s or 40s… but she is so full of energy… we did some warm up exercise.. then some cardio + cardio.. some floor exercise and lastly cool down exercise.. through the class, she used the oldies yet hip music (like fever) to lead us into exercising… quite impressed by her teaching method cos you will really work out..

this class is more of an aerobic class.. the dance is only to make us love it more.. but of course, when there is music, there will be also be dance steps.. the teacher oput in simple steps and I got serious co-ordination problem… catching up with the teacher i.e. speed & stamina is not an issue.. it’s the hand & leg movement that I got problem with.. you see, when u put your right hand up, your left leg should come up… and vice versa.. but I just can’t seem to get it right.. in the end, I go like right hand up with right leg up.. told dear after the class and he was laughing at me… I’ll learn from mistake and I’ll get it right next lesson =P

Think I lazed ard for quite some time after my last kick boxing class stops (just before my wedding).. so after Monday’s lesson, I was aching from top to toe for whole of Tuesday and Wednesday.. I even had difficulties going up and down the steps cos need to stretch mah.. still felt some over stretched effect today.. but at least it’s better now..

This is after all the warm up lesson.. once used to it, subsequent lesson will be so painful anymore..

Our New Maid

Our new maid, Kusumahnin (not sure if i got the spelling, right...) arrived last Thursday.. me & dear went down to the agency to pick her up abt 7plus..

At the agency, the gal in charge asked me if i wanna to go through the maid's luggage.. initially i said "no" and the gal replied me "HUH"... so i assumed i'm supposed to look through the bag... went through that process and i asked the maid to throw away all medication she had with her... no need to have them with her cos our hse got almost all the medication required for common aliments.. i also confiscated her rupiah initially though they are not worth much when translated to SGD.... when asked whether she can cook.. she'l reply "yes yes.. fried rice.. fried chicken wings"... when the gal at the agency asked if she can look after kids.. she immediately reply "NO".. ha ha ha.. expected lar.. no prior experience and she not yet a mummy too.. where's the knowledge.. the agency gal looked at me and before she started, i know wat i'm gg to say.. "we dun need the maid to look after the baby currently"...

the maid only know very basic basic english.. so when i talked to her, it's like a chick and a duck communicating.. quite a funny scene...

the next day, i gave her some of my clothes for usual wearing.. bought her a pair of slippers and also a piggy bank.. for her to put her rupiah back.. she was happy when she got all the things and the $$ back..

her work attitude so far is ok... very hardworking.. can't seem to sit still.. whenever her normal chores is done.. she'll go ard the hse to clean the wall or start rearranging the things to clean the table top.. she's also a very polite yound lady.. (btw, she is only 24 this yr..2 yrs younger.. gals her age shld be graduating and start wking.. but yet here she is working as a maid.. quite poor thing..)

we quite happy with the maid so far.. but of course the maid being so new will also make mistake... the attire that my mum in law wore to my wedding... the maid iron a hole into it.. haven seen the thingy yet but guessed it's quite bad for my mum in law to even talk abt it.. apparently, the iron was too hot and the maid couldn't figure out the direction... last night, dear wanted to have birdnest.. so my mum in law asked the maid to boil some water.. guessed the maid never had a chance to drink or even see birdnest before, so she opended 1 can and pour the birdnest into the heated water.. there goes 1 bottle of birdnest.. luckily she only did that to 1 bottle and my mum in law caught her in the act.. or else, gone will be all the rest of the bottles... ke ke ke...

though the maid makes mistakes, but still think that it's our responsibility to teach the maid well.. all in all, the gd of the maid is still more than the bad one =P
