Crocs Prima

i simply cant seem to find any love for the original looking crocs. I'm sorry to those croc lovers out there, especially sandee...but they are SO UGLY!!!! Gimme a hundred bucks and i will still refuse to wear them.

However, lately crocs has developed Prima - ballet-inspired flats which have shown some hope towards a compromise of fashion and comfort. These flatties promise slip-resistant and non-marking soles with anti-microbial and odor resistant. So much omph! packed in that pair of flatties huh! Now even I feel a tiny itch to get one pair for myself. Price $56

Fave: Jelly shoes.
i know i know they have been in the novo shoe shops for ages but for someone who is undertall like me...Sometimes i think quite hard whether should i go for skyscapers high heels to make me feel on top of the world or at least being able to grab the hanging holders of the bus, or to have comfy soles in one of these jelly shoes, which can be quite costly.

Finally i found a pair of jelly shoes exactly the one like those sold by Melissa Jelly Shoes!!! at best of all, i bought it at a price of $6!!!! hohohoho.....

will post my shoes for you gals to compare over the weekend....i try, no promise.

PS Cafe

Cut to the chase.

Objectives: My Parents especially my mother had wanted to come to this place for the longest time, she has heard that it has fast becoming a celebrity seen and see place so since it's her birthday, wj and i brought her there.

Pricey. Yes.

Service. So-so. 2 out of 5. Most probably was becos it was a sunday's brunch. Loads of people and no reservations for weekend brunches, it comes on a first come first basis system. Although my family and i didnt wait long for our table.They did offer us outdoor seats first but seeing the scorching sun, my mother was willing to wait for an indoor cool area. I think we didn't regret waiting for that extra 10mins or so. The waiter and waitresses were very busy, i think. The waiter that waited on our table brought us 3 cups of ice water when there was 5 of us. Minus points here. We even have to remind him to bring us 2 more cups of water. Before our main were served, he was kind enough to bring us side plates for us to share. However, 2 out of the 5 dishes had chocolate stains on them!!!! and there were crumbs too!!! REAL BIG BOOBOO over here. Next, when our order was brought to us, there wasn't enough serviettes or cutlery for all of us. Minus points again. This time we told another waitress to get some cutlery for us.

Food: Mother and dad shared the MEAT LOAF AND SALAD (meat loaf with prune dressing on a bundle of salad greens). I have come to an understanding that it is a salad but the meatloaf was really little and it cost $22.

Wj and I shared the CHEF STEAK SANDWICH (wagyu ribeye steak, caramelised onions grilled to perfection if i might say so, danish bacon which i couldn't find any, romaine lettuce... a generous amount of probably 2 leaves, sliced tomatoes, served with baked beans and voluptous steak fries)

we love the big steak fries and onions!

Cost $28

Sis had the POACHED EGG PORTOBELLO STACK (stack of pached eggs, portobello mushroom, grilledbacon, wilted spinach on top of mashed potatoes with smoked cheese).

The chef comments here was that the portion was too small for her size. So chef is not impressed here.

Cost $22

Verdict: Nice ambience, makes me miss melbourne's big breakfast and it's other variations found along the tucked-in corner lanes of Flinders and appreciate melbourne's easy finds of cheap and good breakfast. I MISS MELBOURNE!!!! Food and pricing can NEVER beat melbourne's. But since it's not Melbourne ( i have to remind myself again and again), we just have to settle here at PS cafe. If you can live without ambience then i think PS cafe is good enough for just a one time visit and nothing more.

Szechuan Court

Family Affair@ the museum

It was a flashback to the past of the 1960s and 1970s as the ambience of pasar malams from these decades were brought to life and brought fond memories not only to my parents, especially my dad who bought 2 wooden spinning tops home, my mum who Q-ed in the hot sunny afternoon for a piece of caricature of herself, my sis relishing on her hum ching peng for the 2nd time, even myself and wj had a real swinging good time too looking back at the games we bought played when we were young. Remember 5 stones, kuti-kuti, yo-yos? and the blowing balloon? they seem so long time ago....

The food stalls enticed a local crowd with local delicacies while the free games stalls and their tables and stationed voluteers who shared the rules of the game with children brought much joy to the young and old. And the best of all were the freebies!!!! Free chinese calligraphy, caricature and self protraits and free paper balloons, blowing balloons and free games to play. This has just to be the best pasar malam this year i have been too.

ps: did i forget to mention that we enjoyed ourselves so much that we visited the pasar malam twice on different days , the night affair on saturday and the family affair on sunday.
