On the road again
I am so happy, why-tomorrow I am on leave!!! :) Going to meet Jinny to cut hair,eat lunch then meet Kiat n Mar for dinner and Harry Potter. (Sat duty though :()
Secondly, I have not one but two trips to look forward to!!!
We are finally going to KL-Me,Rena, Sonny and Marcel, to visit Carmen!! After saying for so long, we are finally going. Aug 24 to 26. Taking the night bus on friday and staying one night in KL. The last time I went to KL was like 6-7 years ago!

Taiwan! Yes, we are going taiwan again. Really like the place and after deciding where to go, in the end still decide to go back to Taiwan. There are still so many places we have yet to visit and this time round, we are hoping to cover taichung,taina? and maybe kenting? This trip will be for 6 days 5 nights. The longest I have since I joined my current company. Always wanted to go for a 2-3 weeks long holiday but not appropriate now. Come next Jul 08, I must go for a really long holiday!!!!!!

Peaceful week..
Kiat and I, we met up with XM at Raffles City. Too bad EL cant join us. She treated me to dinner :) She suggested going to this Italian place-Menotti. We have never been there before. It was a very good recommendation from her. We all ordered the set dinner which came with an appertizer,main course,drinks and dessert. The food was very good esp the dessert. We ordered the tiramisu,creme bulee and the soffiato for desserts. Googled the restaurant and realised its part of the Garabaldi Group..no wonder...I must go back there again.
Saw the Donut Factory store too. Heard about those long queues but hvtn't tried it yet. Kiat's place also just opened a Munchy Donut store, seems like Singaporeans are jumping on the bandwagon again-think bubble tea,roti boy etc
11th Jul 07, Wed
Met up with WQ and DL for dinner in town.We went to Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao. I loved the XLBs there, I thought there were much better than those at Ding Tai Fung. We ate a lot-XLBs,la mien,pan fried buns,guo tie,red bean paste pancake and some red bean fried custard buns..so full. Even went for drinks at Indochine after that......
13th Jul 07, Fri

Sunday Makan
Today, I actually had 2 appointments.
The first was to meet up with my ex-colleagues. Rena arranged dim sum in Chinatown at 9am! Gosh 9am, last night we went ktv till 2am and this mornign woke up at 830am, really struggle but in the end I was the first to reach. We had a good time catching up with one another and even called Carmen in Malaysia.
After eating, they suggested having coffee, wow really can eat and drink lei these boys and girl :). I suggested going to the Viennese cafe near my house and we had some drinks and dessert.


Parted at 1230 and I went home to zzzzzzzz....
Part 2 was spent with the babes at Clementi-Botak Jones. Heard so much about that place and it was my first time there.
The queue was ok,we waited 30mins for the food. Ordered the turkey susage to share,had the steak while the 2 of them had the cajun chicken.
Verdict-the food was not bad, but I think the steak at Aston's is better. The portion is very huge(we were saying (bitching) no wonder the ang mohs are so big sized as they eat these every day)
I have 3 more makan sessions next week, starting with xm tmr, wq on wed and gj on fri.
Prawning
Work is so busy I also don't know why. I spent yesterday morning doing some work related stuff, can you imagine. Someone please kill me. Anyway, after that, met up with Kiat to go jogging at ECP. Yes, I have decided to resume my jogging as cardio is the only way to go. I really do not enjoy but no choice.
After jogging, we went to see an apartment but it was not to our liking. The main event yesterday was meeting up with YH and RX for prawning at Marina South. It was our first time trying our hands at prawning. Rx and El have been there a few times.
You can choose to fish or prawn. We did the prawns.
The prawns section
The fishing ponds
Off we go..
Me and YH,RX busy preparing the bait for us. The bait is cockles. Cockles are very smelly thingy :(
They provide these nets for you to store your prawns once you have caught them.
The uncle who caught those prawns above is very lucky-all very big ones.
Our first catch of the day-caught by RX. This is a 'heng' prawn because he was explaining to us the technique he use and when he lifted the rod to show us, there was a prawn stuck to the bait. But because the prawn is so small, when we put it into our storage net, it dropped out,darn,so heng.
2nd prawn was caught by Kiat! We did not have much luck as the prawns took quite a while to 上钩. Nonethesless, it was a good feeling to have your first catch.

Rx's other catch-big one.
RX even brought tools to cut off the feelers.
I also got one! A reasonable size one too :) Got roe somemore.
Only poor YH did not manage to get any.
RX got another big one-his luck is the best yesterday.
After 2.5 hours, our miserable catch. Actually it is not bad for first timers like us I reckon but RX says the other time he came with EL, they caught one every 10 mins and each prawn was the big sized ones.
It was too little to tp back to cook and we were going dinner and ktv after prawning too so we borrowed the bbq pit from the 3 chinese next to us and bbq the prawns on the spot. Very fresh but very 残忍 :P.
Nice trip :)
After prawning, we went for dinner and then it was off to KTV to meet up with the rest of the gang for TF bdae celebration.

Birthday happenings
We arranged to go for Korean food (too much 200 pounds beauty) and the choice restaurant was Awon Korean Restaurant at Excelsior Hotel. We chose the buffet. Although the selection was limited-chicken,pork,beef,prawns,vege,tang hoon and sides dishes, the food was very very good and the service too. Plus point.
Our side dishes
The hot/soup pot. The first time we seen this kind of concept. Mar say the soup part is like the drain. The staff
will bring out the pot filled with the ingredients and then it is up to us to replendish.
We ate a lot-ok, Kiat and pz not really,can you imagine, its a buffet and kiat ate the least,lol.
Mar bought a really great cake for us from Rive Gauchce. It is seriously one of the best cakes we have ever eaten.
The staff helping us to light the candles. We don't want people to see the number of candles on the cake!!
The boss even played the Happy Birthday song over the PA system. Whole restaurant now knows the both of us celebrating our birthday and one table even asked us jokingly to lend them our cake as it is also one of their friend's birthday.
After this, we went to Rochester for drinks. This time, we got the outdoor seats.
Thanks mar for the cake and kiat for the dinner(the boss gave us a 30% discount!) and pz for your presence :)
