Soccer & boys

& so, the boys wanted to see their soccer match, we decided upon Simpang Bedok. The food aint that good actually. Prata was disappointing, overly oily & not crispy. Our Roti John was just bread with egg & a very generous amout of chili sauce & cheese, with a pathetic spread of minced chicken/beef. But Yu xiang seem to be enjoying his fish & chips.

Smokers & the wind direction wasn't helping. i thought the authorities have set a "Yellow zone" in eateries? we were probably too near it, but i seriously don't see any tape marking the area where the smokers were.

Maybe the authorities will want to petrol & give out fines more often.

Not forgetting that their upsized milo, is legendary, i call it the Mega Milo. It's looks like a litre of drink for only $2.30!

Christmas Eve!

We first met at Sakae Sushi for Dinner (:

& boys packed like sardines in cars are a comic sight, hilarious as they seem, thanks for squeezing in front to make our girls lives better (:

& arm wrestlings reminds me of secondary school days in Sembawang secondary school where the boys then were havoc. & those good times regardless if still remembered by them will still remain as one of the best memories i have in the E1 class. Oh, good times!

& boyfriend stand alone, watching us as girls dress up a christmas tree. yes, please remain useless. please stand aside & hope things happen. (HAHAHAHAHAHhahaha....)
& finally we have a decent christmas tree breeding presents to boast of!
& a really cute guest list!
LAN shop in Kp's house set up. Lol. 3 Lappies borne of gaming purposes set up occupying all of the coffee table without the coffee(s).
futile attempt by Andy to make me jealous with his gay acts! feeding boyfriend food & holding hands. Whatever la, i'd love to see guys become gay, it'd be so cool right!

I was on a roll in my mahjong game! won $10 (: & i finally completed my Nokia application contest entry yesterday. Please take a look at it at my very next post to have a good laugh & if u have a Nokia you may want to help by downloading it! :D
As i am blogging this, the girls are scrambling around in the kitchen together with family-men-to-be securing bacon to mini sausages, Kai wei & Junior-chef Carmen chopping garlic for our Aglio Olio speg later on.

But i just wanna see how long is the lag time between Kai Wei & discovering of the present i have prepared for her. Lol. She have found presents i brought yesterday, & i wondered if she did count that i actually brought 4. She knew 1 is a dummy, & 2 should be Hweekiat's & my present. So i'm pondering over the 4th one which i couldn't confirm if she seen it.

Yes, that arrow pointing at the white bag is hers. & so is the specially made purple trademark jumpingclay present i made just last night.

I shall have a good laugh later when she discovers herself or when i actually have to point it out to her that it's actually hers. maybe i should make her count the present later to tally with people present to make her wonder about the extra one.

*grins* Heh. I'm never too old for such games. & hello best friend. I doubt her intel. HAHAHAHAS!

Dim sum buffet at Yum Cha!

early in the morning, we had a cute baby to visit my room!
later on the in the afternoon, brother asked me to go into his room to witness this. -.-''' HAHA! my brother planted xian xian onto a baby chair & surrounded him with lots of cushion while he watches some educational CD running on the desktop! LOL.
we could see how boring the show gets. LOL. total loss of focus!

--------------------------------------------

in the afternoon, met Chu Ian & Jun Han at Yum Cha for a cheap Dim Sum buffet! it is located at

20 Trengganu Street (Off Temple Street)

#02-01 (Chinatown) Singapore 058479

Tel : 6372 1717 | Fax: 6323 5375

food keeps flowing in!
& cleared in no time. we're all victims of temptation.

they really have a wide variety of selection.

all in all, their dim sum are real fresh. However, the main ingredient is largely prawns. though variety is wide, yet it is centralised around crystal prawns. So i kinda got sick of it after a while. probably i'm not a dim sum fan. & probably it just so happened that out of everything, i prefer them with prawns. LOL.

i would recommend this mango redbean fried fritter dimsum. it tastes really awesome.
Overall we paid about $23. it's worth your money if you can really eat alot/ are a dimsum whore. HAHA.

Elaine's birthday at Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant

it's Elaine's birthday! i bought her a Longchamp bag & here's birthday girl with a smile!
dad brought us to Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant! YAY! i've been wanting to eat this for the longest time ever... *drool*

This place is at the Turf Club City, if i am not wrong, it is located at the previous turf club.

200 Turf Club Road #03-01 Turf City

what's best about this place is that you get to 'catch' your own seafood! just walk a few steps down the lane, you'll see a live seafood market which supplies the fresh, living seafood for the restaurant. & i dont know WTF is a Geoduck clam. Apparently it's freaking expensive!
the crabs are so freaking big, 3 of them is enough to make up the height of me squatting down.
& there is dad, brother & sister-in-law with Xavier baby at the market selecting our seafood (:
boyfriend showing the 'thumbs up' sign! HAHAHAS! what a loser pose?!
live frogs & some crab whichs looks funny & is not for sale.
here's our feast! a freaking fresh red garoupa steamed. I swallowed the whole thing!
& dad ordered 3 of their most expensive abalone. $100++ each!
Madness. but dad claims the cartwheel abalone can brand is better. LOL. because it's freaking tough!
the menu says ham prawns. but i dont see the ham. HAHAA.
i think crystal jade's mapo tofu is way better. it just tastes different. but this is not that bad too.
chilli crab. (:
stirfried kailan w humongous scallop. heaven.
again, crystal jade's mango pudding is better. I think we should go to crystal jade next time. HAHA. but crystal jade is more expensive! their coke costs $4.5! here it costs $3 only!
new boyfriend. LOL.
pict w dad! (:
Damage is $592.62. we're always burning a hole in dad's pocket. but i love it when dad insists that we shouldnt scrimp on food. It's a necessity. Ironic that he dont see extravagrant meals as extravagrant. So it's good fortune for our stomach! YAY.

i love daddY!

Unfortunately, Kaiwei missed out on this meal. Again. ):

pre-Christmas xchange!

Recommended by Joanna to come to this place at the Central @ Clarke Quay! The ambience is pretty good, dim lightings & modern Jap outlook. you may also choose to have your meal al fresco. But we settled for the airconditioning & a valentine's day setting.
The food here. I had the most expensive Chawanmushi (bottom left pict) ever! mine costs about $11 for crabmeat chawanmushi. the egg isnt as fragrant as the one i had in the paragon though. that was like the best chawanmushi i ever tasted. I haven't tried their main courses (top left*right pict). So i wouldnt comment further on it.
you may want to try their tofu cheesecake! it is not a cheesecake made of tofu. Instead, it is a cheesecake with a tofu texture! it's quite interesting, & tastes not bad. but i still prefer the conventional ones. HAHA.

Presentation wise, it's very unique i would say!
all of us got our presents!
& yay~! xchange complete. I got this butterfly bling bracelet! the butterflies are very pretty! :D
& Jo happens to be my 'buddy'. OH HOW LUCKY YEAH?!
group pic, group pic (:
hahhas! dont know where is kai wei looking. LOL

& Jo finally appears with the santa hat i put in her package! (:

I love christmas xchanges! it's the only time you get a present in return. HAHHAAS! & LOTS OF LOVE + FUN + LAUGHTER + MYSTERY + ENTERTAINMENT.
