Jubilee June Shoes






this month i have been rather a good girl! so far i only bought 2 pairs of shoes! The first pair is from our local shores - Charles and Keith. Yes yes, their shoes are painful to wear but this design is rather pretty! And because that unfortunate morning, my heel broke and i had no spare shoes in the office, leaving me with no choice whatsoever to buy a pair to tide me that day.
the second pair is somewhat i have been eyeing on for months now. heehee...yeah yeah for the great singapore sale so River Island was on sale too!!! Finally bought this pair of beige Mary-Janes! I was also eyeing on one of their low-rise jeans but sobsob! even at size6 (the smallest) it was still too big for me!!! And it was so cheap! going at $80!!! Was tempted to buy it then alter later but the wiser brain said ..."no" So my thumping heart relented. I did went back to the store like 5 times a week. Practically everyday until every single size 6 piece was sold. Heartbroken, i even went to the store at Vivocity to search for the same pair. But they didn't have it either.
sometimes it's just not meant to be.

Flea Mart



we are setting up our 'store' now....more like mat store. Really! we are so clueless as to how to arrange our stuff!



Next, friends and cousins have arrived to help out! Even our colleagues came down to buy stuff from us!!! heeheh. Soon the hot scorching afternoon sun was shining down on us, and out come the umbrellas! okay i didnt take any pictures here cos we all looked so auntie-like! how embarrassing...so unglam!!!



More photo taking here...all smiling away...of cos, if not how to make business? I keep smiling at my customers ok...from 3pm till 1030pm...and i bend and crawl till i had a backache! So tiring this flea mart business. I was telling wj that this will be the first and last time for me!!!!
Kudos to those who have been doing this for alternate saturdays every month!
THIS IS HARD EARN MONEY PEOPLE!


See...the people here ah, drive such a hard bargain! $1 they also want to bargain with us...crazy man and i'm selling zara, mango, topshop, miss selfridge over here! They think im selling pasar malam clothes....sheesh.
There was even this blangah ah, walked up and down our stall 4 times! 4 times and every time he wanted the tee for $2 instead of $3. In the end after the 4th time he came down to bargain...we gave him for $2. We really admire his perserverance, determination and of cos bargaining skills. *bleah* we give up lah, no fight against him.





Lastly i really want to thank my friends and colleagues who made their way down just to encourage and support us!!!! and of cos my family and cousin who stayed almost the whole day with me, buying me drinks and food and of cos looking after my things in case someone steals them!!!!
It was a wonderful experience despite the backaches! hahaha...and wouldnt be a success without our family and friends..and of cos a sunny weather...gosh they should really put cooler fans attached to the ceilings or columns...phew!
And.
now i'm proud to say that

"I've come and done it all!"


ps: just in case you are wondering how much we made....we managed to sell $300 plus worth of goodies! *smirk*

Azabu Sabo@Central



Aching for a sweet tooth relief?

This is a place for both Japanese dessert lovers and a penchant for sweets. and oh did i mention that they have very yummy green tea desserts, milkshakes, teas and smoothies!!!


Good anti-oxidants and anti-aging!!! the more the merrier for us ladies!!! woohoo!



*chants*


l love green tea....i love green tea....hehehe








MatchaZen

Price $7.80

Menu's description: Green Tea Ice-Cream in a Bowl of Dumplings & Red Bean Paste
My reading: Green tea Hokkaido ice-cream surrounded with red bean paste with whole red beans of cos and chewy pearls!

Their green tea ice-cream was truly enjoyable with the very strong taste of green tea, reminds me so much of Japan and their green teas. And very well complimented with the sweet red beans and chewy dumplings which erm pretty much taste like those bubble tea pearls. Very chewy, white and much bigger in size. about 3x bigger?

*psst...im still very much a bubble tea fan....*

Overall: I LOVE IT!








mr goh is having...a girlie dessert! hahah when it came i was like " oh my! that looks like what a girl would eat!!!" muahahahha...and he starts to roll his eyes.
Doesn't it look very 梦幻?

All pinky and colourful with an assortment of fruits like strawberries, peach and even a fan-shaped sugar wafer! Aiyoh....

Strawberry Sundae

Price: $9.80

Menu Description: Strawberry Sundae (muahahahha)

OK...thanks that they have a picture of it to show us what it really comprises of. It has a soft ice cream at the peak, sugar wafer, peaches, kiwi, strawberries all sitting on a small scoop of Hokkaido Strawberry ice-cream. And comes with a single cherry.





oh. i think this picture will tell you the "size" of our desserts. SO weight watchers out there, it isnt alot of sugar here to begin with.




JUMBO seafood along Clarke Quay

Finally, wj and I decided to deviate alittle bit from our usual meals.
Yes, especially yours truly, I can be a creature of constant habit. I can eat the same thing for every meal and almost everyday.
So this weekend, i decided to call the shots and brought mr goh to JUMBO to try their famous black pepper crabs! Because i'm a crab lover, i simply love JUMBO's black pepper crabs!!!! They are by far the most delicious and aromatic, fragrant ones that i have eaten.

As for chilli crabs, my verdict is "you can forget it". I cannot understand why people go to Jumbo for their chilli crabs when the sauce is just chilli ketchup stir-fried with egg. But in this case, i ordered one for mr goh to try so that he will know what i mean. It's always good to try rather than to explain. And everyone has different palettes. I say "not nice", it may not always be the same for him.



First dish was Stir fried Dou Miao with garlic. Personally i think it's abit too oily. Not salty.
Taste: Good
Service: very prompt! Impressive!
Price: for a small plate, this one costs $10 Medium $12 Big $16


Next up was PEPPER CRABS!!!
Taste: Slurps!!!! mr goh was impressed. This one was sweet and succulent. Pepper was fried till fragrant and came piping hot!!!
Price: $41 ($3.80 per 100grams)
Size: Big enough for 2 of us

Last dish: Chilli Crabs
Taste: Dilute sweet sauce (think chilli ketchupy sauce) with egg. Usually Singaporeans would eat this with fried plain mantous (buns) which they will happily dip them in this eggy sauce. We ordered 2 fried ones and 2 steamed ones. mr goh was skipping his bowl of rice for this.
Oh yes, minimum order is 2 buns for a table.
Price: $41 (same size crab as the pepper ones)

Overall Service:
I notice that they hired quite afew china chinese to wait on the tables. I think it's quite good actually since our plates were changed quite often and we had so much crab shells! hahah...
And they left a huge pot of chinese tea at our table so that we could refill it by ourselves.
Paying the bill was fast too. So service here is very prompt. I guess this one is not as busy as the one at Riverside Point.
In case you are wondering which one im referring too. I went to the one beside JustSteak, beside Riverside Tandoori.
It's quite small but cozy, faces the riverside too. But dining by the riverside is such a touristy thing to do...i mean our waters are murky brown. There really isn't much to see, and hopefully no smell to accompany your dinner!

Ritey! after this we went for desserts!!! wanna know where? Will post soon!
