17 Again - Movie & Friends!

Love meeting up with the ELD folks. They are fun-loving and always remember me!

There was events all round the year and they never left me out. *happy*

17 Again is a great show. I think everyone who understand basic english should go watch and it will be a plus point if you know elf language. hahaha~

anyway, it is worth watching for anyone who is 13 and above.

If you have my facebook account, you would have seen something like "hug Betsy, she call from HK ..."

Yup~ and she is back!! with my LOOT!!


face and eye masks!

*hugs betsy*

imagine she carry all this back for me from HK lor~

*hug chris too*
i know you also bring alot more back for me during your last year HK trip

*hug felicia also*
my taiwan masks too~

anyway, it helps to add the amount of mask i have to another high peak~ haha.. gotta use them!!


Food from Hong Kong & Sydney!!

Fel went sydney and bought a set of coaster~ Yes, i will keep till i have a new house and used it when you come visiting k?

Anyway, when fel went taiwan last year, i actually told her to get some hair-related thing for me but she kinda forgot. Betsy saw it in Singapore and immediately buy for me. *what a sweetheart*


guess what it is?


to hold your hair up

anyway, if you watch taiwan variety show, you may know what it is used for. if not then come my house and i will show u personally. Coz i feel so paiseh to do it in public nor to take a picture of myself with that.

P.S.: Betsy, go buy Natura Loft la. Breakfast provided. My block is 235A.

Coffee Club Dinner

If i have to choose a place that the pasta is great and not wafu, then will be

COFFEE CLUB!! *claps*

the food that is really and best still, now UOB card mon-fri 1-for-1 pasta, rice and main dinner *claps claps*

so i definitely make good chance and keep gging (then grow fatter)


wasabi prawn salad

prawn is good, but the overall is so-so. kinda disappointed


dunno what chicken

average good only. But i need meat in my meal so i welcome its arrival.


super yummy mushroom + crepe

forgot the name but it will be my best like dish in coffee club (apart from spinach quiche). very very good~ baby and i fought over it for the dinner


close look - i wanna eat again!!


garlic prawn pasta

baby is a seafood (+ veg) lover so i mentally took note of this when i went coffee club previously..


the prawn! - super good!

baby love this but i think is too much for me to finish myself. btw, some coffee club dun even serve this lor.


the dessert

super sinful yet not sweet. only the ice-cream is sweet and the chocolate was bitter-sweet. wanted to buy back for mama but the manager suggest no take-away. gonna bring mum one day.

can't wait for another trip to coffee club. anyone wanna join?

Golden Week

Today is the start of the Golden Week. I bet mayu must be starting to have fun!

In case you don't know what is Golden Week, see this

Golden Week in Japan

Well, Golden Week always reminds me of Dramas that happen around this times coz the actors/actress will ask friends/lovers what to do, where to go during golden week.

I wish Singapore has a golden week too. I wish for a holiday.

Today is the birthday of the previous emperor Shouwa, which is my generation too~ Hopefully it will change my lousy luck of the week to be good.

Last night i watch 17 Again with Election Collegues. More updates coming up~

Anniversary - Part 2

Welcome back~

As for food, we went to this place call MANPUKU which was advertised in the NEWS


before entering


outside the place

seriously speaking, i never watch much of that news so i also dunno what it is. But since the tampines one website wrote that is it a japanese gourmet dunno what, so i decided to go (since i'm a j-lover).

when entering, we realise that it is the same as shokudo at raffles city and we were half-excited. coz it was like erm.. well..

but the tarts welcome us so it brighten my day!

For a start, being a lover of you-know, i definitely will have you-know

bwhahaha.. you-know

It was frozen cold, and i dun find it good.

Then worse still


looks good but ..

is cold too..


hokkaido ramen

sad to say, despite that i love the texture of the noodles, i simply faint at the soup coz it is super salty!!!

to think that the chef from japanese say this in the NEWS
"come to sg often to control the water quality"
well, i think he should control the salt quantity


okonomiyaki

i love okonomiyaki but this is one that i never appreciate.
i just don't like it.


tarts

on 1st look, the tarts were really great,

but when you eat, u will realise the cream is not good. not the yummy cream that u expect from yummy cakes or tarts, but rather it taste like some cream that i can buy from super-market. see the white layer below the fruits? yes that is the problematic part. the layer above the crust is yummy cream, but the white cream is a real turn off.


probably the best in manpuku

the idea was good, with cornflake inside and the whole thing is generally yummy. just that i dun really fancy the jelly below (those we eat from chendol).


seats in the open air

anyway, i mostly likely will not be back. If i will, it would be for another flavor of the ramen, since i love the noodles, try the banana-choco tart coz it wasn't available when i went (hopefully better cream) and to try other food and hopefully is a thumb-up.

Messy Mood

This week wasn't a good week for me. I knew it. Though it is only tuesday.
Coz i din start the monday well and now i'm feeling horrible.
However, i don't show this in work. To me, it is impt.

there is no way that the morale should be drop because of me. I learn it during my uni days.

Thus i had lunch happily with everyone despite of a upset heart and bad mood.

This week is a long week for me. I wish thursday comes soon.

Anniversary - Part 1

Last Tuesday i took leave to celebrate a two-year anniversary with baby.
but he found out that it was more of that i wanted to go uniqlo on a weekday. (^@^)
but anyway, kill two birds with one stone la~

at house, baby gave me the present for the year.

a new set of couple rings!!


black and red, good match!


engrave with our names

the reason for the new set was the corrosion on my old ring, though baby's was fine. dunno what is the problem with my finger

anyway, after that we took bus 28 to tampines despite baby insists on cab. coz it was early and i wanted to have some bus-riding journey. but i was wrong!
i swear that i'll nv ever take that bus 28 to tampines anymore coz it kills me crazy.

have u been to tampines one?

some picture below!


1st shop i notice in Tampines One


uniqlo!!


lots of clothes for men


UT


ladies wear!


uhh....


anyway, i bought 5 pieces of clothing from uniqlo causing over $150++ but i was happy but i was unsatisfied. i have actually choosen more than 10 pieces, but budget constraint. haiz

part two will be on the lunch~ look fwd to it!!

Rock-a-bye baby

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

Baby is drowsing, cosy and fair
Mother sits near, in her rocking chair
Forward and back, the cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings

From the high rooftops, down to the sea
No one's as dear, as baby to me
Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright
Now sound asleep, until morning light

Spiderman?

no comment

Simple Cooking - Last Saturday

I love cooking!! Though tiring~

But i love the look when ppl eat and tell you it is nice.
(of coz i hate it when ppl say it is horrible)

anyway, last saturday, i decide to be lazy to rot at home with M(s) (Mother, Mafia & Mahjong)

so i call up Baby and ask him to come for lunch, rather than to go uniqlo (original plan).

So i whip a simple meal to eat with rice. But i guess i don't have the talent for cooking chinese food except curry chicken and kueh. Coz they just don't look good~

My favourite is...


tamago yaki!!

woo~ i'm so happy each time i cook this and successfully get the thickness i want.
Take a closer look


look @ the thickness!
anyway, it taste not as good as the times that i have my fish bonito~ i need them!!


Butter Grilled Prawn~ yummy~
I guess this really taste the best coz even daddy (who is a picky eater) put his thumbs up!


spinach mushroom = healthy food!
no oil, just water, spinach, mushroom and oyster sauce!


stew chicken = don't look good, but it taste good k!
and smells good~ haha~ (praise myself~ praise myself~)

Anyone wanna come and try my (horrible) cooking?

SMAP’s Kusanagi Tsuyoshi Arrested For Indecency

Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, a member of Japanese pop music group SMAP, was arrested Thursday for allegedly stripping naked under the influence of alcohol at a Tokyo park around 3 a.m., the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said.

Kusanagi's arrest on suspicion of public indecency at the park in Akasaka district in Minato Ward came after a male neighbor called police as Kusanagi had been making noise, the police said.

'What is wrong with being naked?' Kusanagi, 34, was quoted as telling a police officer questioning him on the spot. Kusanagi was alone and violently resisted police interrogation, prompting three police officers to cover him with a sheet and take him to a patrol car. The jeans and jacket he is believed to have worn were found in the park, investigators said.

Kusanagi told police he had beer and shochu distilled spirits at an Akasaka bar with two friends. He admitted stripping his clothes off and said he regrets what he did, adding he does not remember why he got naked, they said.

His agency, Johnny & Associates, said it has not learned the details of the incident but offered apologies to Kusanagi's fans and others for ''causing anxiety and trouble.'' It declined to comment on what it would do in terms of his future activities.

The Tokyo police said Kusanagi was highly intoxicated as his alcohol level in a breathalyzer test conducted five hours after his arrest was 0.8 milligram per liter, five times higher than the benchmark for drunk driving.

Public indecency carries a fine up to 300,000 yen or a maximum six-month jail term in Japan.

Kusanagi is serving as a government-designated promoter of Japan's shift to digital terrestrial TV broadcasting, but the communications ministry plans to remove him, ministry officials said. Analog broadcasting is scheduled to end in July 2011 in Japan.

Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Kunio Hatoyama vented anger when asked to comment. ''The act is shameful for a person who is asking the public to shoulder a financial burden'' of buying new televisions to prepare for the shift.

The minister said he plans to remove all the posters promoting digital broadcasting that feature Kusanagi, while the singer's arrest immediately triggered the cancellation of commercials featuring him airing in Japan, including one by Toyota Motor Corp.

Kusanagi is well known for his fluency in Korean and has starred in a number of TV dramas, commercials and movies. Born in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, in 1974, he debuted as a SMAP member in 1991.

The incident caused ripples in South Korea as well, where he is known as ''Cho Nan Gang,'' with the media reporting his arrest as breaking news.

South Korean newspaper Kukmin Daily reported in its online edition that Kusanagi's arrest ''has shocked fans'' both in South Korea and Japan. The news briefly topped a search ranking of the country's major Internet portal site.

In 2003, Kusanagi took part in a TV talk show featuring then South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun and met with the current leader Lee Myung Bak in April last year on another TV program.

Following Kusanagi's arrest, a woman living near the park told Kyodo News she heard a man whooping and was concerned that her baby might wake up from the noise. One man said he thought there were several people making noise.

In 2001, another member of the five-member, all-male vocalist group, Goro Inagaki, was arrested on suspicion of illegally parking his car and obstructing police officers from performing their duties in an attempt to dodge a parking ticket. He was spared indictment at that time.

info from nikkei, picture from alafista.com

Will anything happen to SMAP? i doubt so. Johnny is too powerful. Nothing haven happen even with all the old troubleS. This should calm down soon.

But i pity Aragaki Yui.



Kusanagi also has a starring role with Yui Aragaki in the movie "Ballad: Namonaki Koi no Uta" (directed by Takashi Yamazaki). Filming has already wrapped up and the picture was scheduled for a September 5 release, putting distributor Toho in a difficult spot. TV Asahi is also considering their options, as it had planned to run some TV specials about the film on weekends from April 25 to May 18.

Mount Emily with Liyan

Hangout @ Mount Emily is really a difficult place to find.

Yan and i drove around (in her car) for couple rounds before finding it. It is far off worse than Dempsey. Anyway, it is a good thing that we have found it coz i think i will never go without a driver (haha!)

the feeling there is good~ but also abit for the spolit kids kinda feeling~


the restaurant from outside view


a picture with the scenary


scenary again!

kinda sad that we had a outside seat at the 1st place. but it was windy and the surronding was great~ so no complains!


i like this!


scenary picture with yan capture


our starter


pasta


main - roast quail

after all the main, there were seat inside, so we had dessert in the restaurant!!


i love the flowers (though fake)


nice combi


i wish to sit there~


another nice deco


the wonder full dessert

the overall bill turns out to be $82!! great ambience but normal food. It was great for that dish, but each dish was ordinary good (with the exception of dessert). I guess i will only be back for dessert, or to go to the bar next door

P.S.: yan, too lazy to send u the pics~ load from here ba~ hehe~ let's go find another yummy place soon *hugz*
