New Eggs

 


Putting new eggs into my 2010 basket!


New eggs of different expressions

New eggs of varying depths

New eggs of unexpectancies

New eggs of more achievable goals

New eggs of greater wisdom

New eggs of larger tents


Kudos to a great 2010!

Ballooning..





This is me now.

Not how I look (of course), but feel.
Have been having this bloated stomach thingy for several days now.
I DON'T KNOW WHY~
Didn't see much to it till I couldn't even stand straight or eat right.

Seen the doc yesterday and forgot to ask for smaller pills....

Now I gotta go through the arduous process of banging and hammering till they become baby pills for the baby bird's consumption =/

Argh...please get well soon, rebellious body of mine!

Test your IQ (:


Hey guys, saw this on my brother's blog and decided to test my IQ.
Wanna test yours too? :)



Free IQ Test
Free-IQTest.net - Free IQ Test


Here's the IQ Score Guide:




Intelligence IntervalCognitive Designation
40 - 54Severely challenged (Less than 1% of test takers)
55 - 69Challenged (2.3% of test takers)
70 - 84Below average
85 - 114Average (68% of test takers)
115 - 129Above average
130 - 144Gifted (2.3% of test takers)
145 - 159Genius (Less than 1% of test takers)
160 - 175Extraordinary genius

Yay, it's pleasing to know that I fall under 'Above Average!!!'
At least it was upscale from my secondary school days, after having paused examinations for eons!

But then again, our IQ is basically our "surface consolation" so what's important is still EQ, IMO =P

Haha just enjoy for the fun bit of brainwreck then!

Astro Boomz


Hooray, the I-Scream Cone Party was a success! Thanks to Weiliang, Shihui, Elina, Lay Han, ZK and my brother Big Head who came to join us. You guys made the Party extra CONEy and exciting! =)

More to come! Pics as well but let's patiently wait as the Uploader's busy mugging for big As. All the best, Cookie Mon...and Jael too! Seriously can't wait for all the important LEVELS to end, before we can gather and party like there's no tomorrow! =P

That aside, I'm really proud of myself once again for coming out of my movie ignoramus state. Woohoo! A friend asked me what movie I last watched, and I shocked myself cos I couldn't remember. *Gasps!* And it became a confirmation when my colleagues were talking about watching something Keeper, bla bla 1-2 ... and I'm like WHAT'S THAT?!?!?!

So having watched ASTRO BOY during the weekend, I'm now a proud owner of......................

A MOVIE TICKET! HAHAHA

I was initially contemplating between Astro and This Is It, as I saw from Tweets and FB Status-es that the MJ show's not bad! However, my animation mood made a decision for me STILL. Ooops! Nonetheless, I'd wanted to find out why Sun loved and still loves this legendary boy so much!

Now I know why. Just for the fact that he's simply cute and heroic! The movie is not just about a typical hero saving the world which most would anticipate. I lurrrrrrvvvvvveeeeee it cos' it also nearly touched me to tears as well.

Thumbs up! 4 Poppies!

ASTRO BOY is definitely for animation and Astro Boy lovers, needless to say! 
Indeed a family show which is light-hearted and will touch your heart :)

Here are some Astro shots I hope will whet your Astro appetite...



























Boy oh boy, just go catch Astro Boy! You'll love it too =)

A Frenchstery Day


Last evening, my Frenchsters and I met up for French Dinner at this classy restaurant,
Bistro Petit Salut.
In case you haven't heard me mention this term Frenchster, it came about when a group of us from Ngee Ann Poly signed up for a French Immersion Tour. We happened to make it through the interview and went to France in 2005. Yes Frenchsters for you! =) Lovin' it (them) till this day!

Alyssa aka Shameless had to be with her mum as the latter was leaving for Rome. So it was down to us 3 once again, Monica aka Monster and Jazmin aka Kuku! Haha I'm not being the bad one here as I've got a nick too, Sotong -.-'' Urghhh

Bistro Petit Salut is located at Jalan Merah Saga, right opposite Singapore's coolest chillout place (IMO), Holland V!  Though gothere.sg helped me quite a bit, the last portion only said 'Walk 2mins.' Hmm that didn't help. Nonetheless I made it there rather fast and couldn't wait to dig in!

One thing I must say. I was pleasantly surprised to know of this Jalan Merah Saga street last night. It's like a Holland V and more central version of the eat-outs at Marine Parade. Only more tranquil and a tat more atas! (:

Beforehand, through the webbie, we'd been "dollarly-prepared" for our exorbitant meal >>> $38++!!!
Hmmm~ This place, however, was the lowest priced of all options we explored.
So yea, Bistro Petit Salut it was! =/

Words aside, pics you'd like! I'm sure ('v')

Entree:



Jaz's: Escargots! They're basically what we call snails.
Seems disgusting to think of but real mmmm....slurpy and deee-licious!


Mon's: Beef in it's rather medium state. Mama Mia~!


Mine: What else would I order, Salmon of course!!!
It's a hairy one but didn't know what that was.
Some kinda thin cracker/vegetable =?


Main:

Jaz's: Beef again....medium rare!
I tried a mouthful and took like 15 over mins to swallow.
Hmm chewy things are not my thing after all! =/



Mine and Mon's: Lobster Pasta! One word, HEAVENLY!

Dessert:

We had Creme Brulee, Meringue and Strawberries
infused with Raspberry Sorbet~~~~~~

And then, the camwhoring spirit took over! Oh man!



 



 
 










Awesome food..
Awesome mood..
C'est la vie~!

Post HK withdrawal syndrome! :(


Up till this day, which is 3 days after our return from Hong Kong, I'm still very much in Hong Kong mode. The sedap food, happening 24/7 lit-up streets, enthu atmosphere, melodious Canto, crazy shopping - miss them all!

As of now, I still feel Jet (star) lagged! =X

To read more about Day 1 of the trip, feel free to explore Ting's blog http://braveheart-ting.blogspot.com/ or my Facebook page as the photos are tagged there. I'm now trying hard to get back to work mode so pardon the lack of detail. Been telling myself one thing these 3 days, "BACK TO LIFE, BACK TO REALITY!"

Please pray for me. Fell sick due to the drastic weather change.
Mon - normal
Tue - HOT!
Wed - slight drizzle
Thu - slight drizzle
Fri - Hot

Guess this very well explains why it was hard to adapt, coupled with crazzzzzzy shopping and eating every day!

However, I'm really proud to exclaim that I've broken my 4-year no fly record! Indeed my last was a school immersion trip to France so Hong Kong this time was really a good time-off for me and the girls!

Some of my favourite pictures of the trip, will start with Day 2 first (courtesy of Shing's Canon Ixus 90):


The you tiao in HK is definitely fresher and more crispy!


Same for the porridge, a world apart! =X A must try!






See the eeyore face? =P Hehe


The "HUGEST" cup noodle I've seen!!


Aren't the Ocean Park tickets so cute you wanna collect them all?


Cam-whoring all trip long!


In the alligator cave


We felt a lil' panda so..


The panda was cosily posing for us, how cute!


Lele was so cheeky he/she/it kept messing up our hair and covering our eyes! 

  


The :( expression fishes!




ZEBRA pose!


Scenic view of Ocean Park, awesome yea?




Nice shot of SEA SEAL snapped by Ting. Cicil!


Spot the zeeyore one in the 3rd carriage, 2nd row?


R.I.P


The cute lil' vampire I adore!
 



I couldn't bear to buy them, too cute but impractical =/


 


The pictures looked fine but we were totally burnt that day!
Thank God the peeling and redness ended on Friday!

Uber October!

Just to start of the post right, my last entry did not come to pass! =(
Therefore no ice cream sensation whatsoever, many things did not happen as well, such as my crave for a Hard Rock Cafe Chillout...due to time constraint.


"I SCREAM....in discontentment~!"

You must be wondering why.
The typical Singaporean reason to a typical Singaporean behaviour actually. The queue outside Ion's Swensen's that day was KERAZEE! For a moment, I thought it was the queue at the Ticket Office as it was the supposed last day for EZ-link exchange. NO~! People who (obviously) knew about the Ice Cream Buffet (ICB) Promo had set their hearts out to have an ICB experience regardless of how long the queue was!

And I learned one thing that day...
Don't try to go for a FOOD outing/fellowship on the last day of promo if you're not prepared to wait more than an hour. HAHA an hour is a very conservative estimate, really. 

Oh wells, we told ourselves that the location doesn't matter so much...it's the company!! YEAAA
Settled for second best in the end, which was Big O at Wheelock Place.
Love the chicken drumlets despite the 'etrange' service. Benefit of doubt to the young and therefore inexperienced waiter =/

Worth the try! (: I'll give it 7.5 stars!

Right now, I'm looking forward to our long-awaited HONG KONG GETAWAY!

Visualizing the Disney shows already! (:

We're flying in 6 days...and counting~~~

I totally can't wait to SHOP & EAT & SHOP & EAT!
Mai dong xi, chi dong xi!

However, having not travel like this in more than 3 years (apart from Bintan)....I'm sure to miss SG a lot!!!

I SCREAM!


Highly likely in this period of recession, Swensen's has been offering many 1-for-1 promotions you've probably received a usual forwarded email or heard about it from anyone who wouldn't give such offers a miss!

I'm uber proud to announce that I will be a part of the wonderful treat, except that me and my poly friends are paying for our own treat...on the final day of promotion! What an awesome timing =X

 
 
I just have to tell you this secret.................

that is........

erm...........

that...........

I absolutely CAN'T WAIT for tonight's ICE CREAM BUFFET...
and of course to catch up with my Choo Clan as well!!!!!!

Uber 'Koo' Happenings

Monday was an awesome day - Public Holiday, and "KFC" day for my family! Right, it doesn't stand for any finger-lickin' good chicken, but Koo Family Chillout Day!:)

My Mum texted me 2 days in advance to book me this PH, seemingly thinking that I'd be packed with activities as usual =P So all the more, I made extra sure I would show up, to celebrate her birthday 2 days in advance, together with them.

Our first stop: Ah Yat Tian Xia



I came full of expectancy, with an empty stomach! After waiting for a short 3 minutes as Daddy had already made a reservation, we were fast seated and deciding from the extensive food choice! Woohoo!



Looking at the menu with pictures of bird's nest, sharks fins and abalone was good enough to make me drool, not mentioning the disappointing half-hour wait which got many customers complaining and more so famished! Gosh I didn't know whether to take pity on their "teething" period as a newly opened branch or hurry them as the appetisers had not even come yet!

Well, looking on the brighter side, the quality of food was indeed what we call "got standard!"


Meal consisting Shark's Fins Soup, Abalone and Bird's Nest - all 3 in 1 - just for $29.80++!


The Braised Premium Sharks Fins Soup in Claypot Big Head couldn't wait to sink his teeth into!


My Braised Fresh Abalone with Mushroom (2nd dish)...
I was like "What, this is it???!!!!"
Daddy said it's top grade abalone, thus that's my (only) main dish. =/



The 2nd dish for 3 of them who ordered Baked Whole Abalone with Fried Rice.
I was so envious, though their abalone wasn't as top-grade as mine =P

Well I wouldn't complain, cos' Mum could not finish hers and gave me some in the end! (:


Our common 3rd dish: Superior Bird's Nest with Fresh Almond Cream
Sedap~! You gotta try it yourself!

Alrights, by now I was extreeeeemely FULL!

Daddy wasn't contented and needed more dessert now....
"Bernice will treat now okay???"


Next stop: Heaven's Loft



Happy 3 Family!



In the midst of enjoyment and chill, Big Head still had to stay
diligent for his PSLE =X Poor boy..


Mum: $7 for some coffee foam??!
Yup this is my Cold Coffee Espuma for $7!! =X

Wasn't exactly worth it but I'm glad I contributed to a wonderful "KFC" Day!!!


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


Today, September 23 is my beloved Mummy's actual birthday!

The pictures will replace my laziness yea =P








HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY! (:

I'm gonna CHAT with SUN!

 
I am totally looking forward to tomorrow, where the brightest star is gonna shine!

My music inspiration and role model, Sun Ho - more affectionately known to us as...


 
.....will be hosting a LIVE video chat right on Facebook Sep 18th 11PM SG time! Yes you didn't see wrong! If you're an ardent fan of SUN, this is definitely a moment not to miss! Grab this chance to ask her any burning questions on her latest single and chat with her like an online friend, except that this time, she's not just any other friend but one whom all of us in Singapore have greatly missed!!!!
                                                  

I feel indefinitely privileged to have heard SUN's latest single,
'Fancy Free'
on FM93.3 yesterday! It is a super SOLID dance tune, which evidently shows that the SUN has risen!
 
How cool it was to hear the DJ presenting the after-song preview with,
"I'm sure you thought that was some US celebrity...."

Seriously, I thought that sounded like a Madonna or Britney number!
(Wow! Even as I'm typing right now, 'Fancy Free's being aired on FM93.3 again!!!!)
Way to go SUN! I'm so Uber proud of her!

So Uber peeps, here are ways we can communicate with SUN:

 Her Youtube video will also be out tomorrow, look out for it!

RIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!


Time ZOOMED, is ZOOMING and will still ZOOM.


 
Once again it's our yearly FIRE DRILL (FD) which most of us in Energie Business Partners don't exactly look forward to. Many thought of excuses to avoid standing under the scorching sun for an approximate 10 minutes, as was the usual procedure every year once the fire alarm ssounnNNDDDSSSSS! Sounds like school days eh..

In the end, 5 out of 7 energetic Energie peeps excluding yours truly decided to have lunch at the assigned FD timing. So much for 'you fu tong xiang, you nan tong dang' ...which kinda means going through thick and thin together. HAHAHA

In the midst of a phone conversation (of all times) with Pinks, the long-awaited alarm finally went off . And guess what? My other colleague who happens to be in the midst of nature's call, had to halt as well! Gosh. Out of the office, our stroll drastically changed into a rush when the fire warden "stared" at us, seemingly hinting that we should be more anxious about a FIRE drill!
We were like OH YA, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO RUSH HOR??!!!

The pathway we had to all gather at was indeed scorched by the noon sun...and I immediately had a MILO DINOSAUR crave! Slurp!

It was then we got to see the entire block of MND Complex Annexe B workers who were called off the building, now consisting countable companies and a Kinderland at the highest level. Definitely decreased by a good 50% due to the tripled rental fee, what I see as exorbitant! But still I can't imagine where else we would shift to as I've always cherished AMOY STREET'S CHEAP AND GOOD FOOD! Come join me if you're around the area (",)

So after some past-time blabber, I ZOOMED straight to my favourite drink stall for my MILO DINO!
Heavenly~~~~~

Now for the highlight of the day: BACK TO WORK! -.-''

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

One thing fills my mind now:

We need a BREAKTHROUGH!!!

Frustration is the first step...




...with change as the only constant!

Food for the Soul


Come to think of it, I've been feeling artistic and high society of late...or rather, wanting to.
Have always wanted to be more cultured in the arts and music. Too much of work and study is getting mundane and life-less! And since I'm taking a (forced) break from studying this semester, now's indeed the best time for me to catch up and feed my SOUL:
Go for a holiday (YES), 
Go for a play or concert (now YES)!


My childhood has always been filled with memories of characters and meaningful stories, all courtesy of Walt Disney! Knowing that I loved them so, my parents brought me to every Disney On Ice that came on a Singapore tour, without fail. Of course, how can I forget Disneyland itself. The trip to the one in France was definitely an experience I will never forget. However, as a part of being a grown up now, the cutest Disney characters have started to fade into memories. 

AWWWW~ I miss liking my favourite Winnie The Pooh! He (It) was meant to be my room wallpaper! 



Actually I still like him a lot (o.O)

Oh wells. NOW's time for change. And the need to re-ignite my soul has come alive once again. Not with Disney but something more adult! =X My entire company of 7 colleagues, including my boss, has decided to go for the upcoming STOMP 09! Having missed JUMP due to our clash of schedules, I'm very much looking forward to this one that's materialising...

STOMP STOMP STOMP!
Finally ACTION over THOUGHT! =D


Wanna join me?



Tickets priced $40 to $120 only!

Yes, let's feed our soul!

What's with Acid?

Have you once again heard of the pouring of ACID incident in Mongkok, a densely populated district in Hong Kong? What amazes me ain't the acid nor that it took place in Hong Kong. Rather, it sets me wondering: Is this a trend or something?

Hmm...

According to AsiaOne news I read this morning (you can read it here), it is the 4th time the weird event arises. And in all previous 3 cases the same pouring agent, acid, was used, what's more, at the same district - Mongkok! Ain't that just weird??? 

Well if I were just an avid AsiaOne reader wanting to keep myself updated on the news - All is fine =)
Apparently, I'm going to Hong Kong for a vacation with my friends this October! We've also booked Dragon Hostel which is located at the shoppers' very haven of the place, Mongkok!

I'm so looking forward to the TRIP, but God please shield us from the ACID! =P




At this moment I hope:
1) Moody (what I call my mum) will not read or hear of these reports.
2) Moody doesn't remember where in HK I'm gonna stay.
3) I can save more Moolah for HK!

Have you been to HK by the way? Any places of recommendation for crazy shopping and recreation?
On my list so far: Esprit Outlet, Ocean Park, Disneyland, The Peak (Madame Tussauds), Modern Toilet (the renowned toilet restaurant!), Macau (?).

Please add on to my list yea? =D

Monthly Die-lemma

I have a current top-of-list prayer request now and that is for SPEEDY RECOVERY over my crazy alphabetical attacks. Stated in FB yesterday that "D (is) gone, C remains....praying for speedy recovery now!!!! J Rapha!"...in which D stands for Diarrhoea and C, Cramps. Have always had abdominal problems since secondary school days. This is really an area in which I need a BREAKTHROUGH!

It tends to get so bad on a monthly basis till the fact that I need to take at least a day of MC each month is at helm. From MC = Medical Certificate, it now means to me Monthly Cramps! =(
Each of these "fateful" days, I wake up to a battle between my flesh and spirit.

Flesh says, "You're in extreme pain. Take MC lah!"
Spirit says, " Just go to work. Force yourself, you can't afford to take MC so often!"

Haha who do I listen to man???? Work, MC, Work, MC?



However, I thank God indeed that this excruciating situation is taking a positive turn now. From monthly, it's now at least "fort-monthly," and I'm believing for not even once per month....at all!

I've faith that my Jehovah Rapha is at His perfecting process now!

For all the guys out there, you don't know how this feels but thank God you're MALE!
As for the fee-males, there's always a FEE to pay - most of the time, it's pain! =P
Let's try our best to conquer it!

P.S, I heard Chocolate with Almonds help, not sure how true though. Well at least it adds some fun to my porridge and mee sua diet now =D
