Sis OFFDAY

sis's day-off! and boy did we combed so many places in singapore!First we had our breakfast at McDonalds, she had the big Breakfast while i had the $2 deal...hahah save money. Next we walked to orchard to take a mrt down to lavendar to check out on her passport cos the customs officer told her that she has to update her photo. Afterwhich we went down to plaza sing (DBS bank) to change her bank card in order for her to use it overseas. But TEH!!!! we had to go to a POSBank to do it...so we trot back to centrepoint where there was a branch there and got it done! YIPPEE yeah yeah! okie time for me to pee man, after such a long morning of here and there!

Next we made our way down to suntec to pay mr goh a visit for lunch and later we had a caffeine fix at TCCitylink. Before we bide town adieu, i dropped by HMV but i couldnt find my CD...oh wells, thank god we didnt linger at that place too long cos when we got to the bus-stop it started to drizzle! THANK GOD!!!

Devilicious Desserts

Mei Hong Yuan Desserts (Traditional Desserts) along Temple street is famous for their nutty pastes! I have tried many desserts stalls and many failed to resemble the ones found in HK. But this store almost fits the bill. Try the sesame, almond, peanut paste and walnut paste (quite unique), feels so smooth and i heard the nutrients are really good for health and beauty! They have chilled ones too like the sweet mango pomelo sago ($3.50), herbal jelly (cooling effects) egg pudding and milk pudding (good for beauty) and beancurd with gingko nuts. And the little ones will love the mango pudding!

For those out there who wants a bit more than just desserts, there are pumpkin cakes (again something unique), yam, carrot, and water chestnut cakes, chee cheong fun, dumplings and much much more.

~have your just desserts now...

FOOD again everywhere we go!

yes gals! me and wj are back at ikea once more to solve my shelfing and compartmentalizing of my tiny room. The trouble with staying overseas is that one sometimes forget that we actually have something similar back home but heck! what's the use of it being at home when u need it abroad right? so we have to buy buy buy!
and so comes the dilemma when u ship your stuff back and BAM! it hits upon u that u have no more space for ur stuff!!!

*headache* and where to go looking for quick and cheap furniture? IKEA lor. But before we go hunting for our shelves, we must first fill our stomachs!!!
Comme d'habitude, we had the famous and salivating swedish meatballs, the poached salmon and spaghetti bolognaise!!! and a can of green tea to share.

the restaurant was packed! and there were coordinators with mikes on to direct the human traffic to sit which is a good thing! then i neednt have to rush and snatch a seat like an ugly singaporean! phew!
