My friends were just talking about this video the other day. Ingenious! i must try it :)

Shin Kushiya

We had dinner at Shin Kushiya last Friday night and it was fantastic!

Of course we tried a few different types of their specialty, which is the charcoal grilled skewers. All good but i specially loved the scallops, and the squid as they were literally grilled to perfection. Not too hard and not to raw. Just nice!

The Tako Fry (deep fried tasty octopus and squid with mayo dip) is a must try! My hubby really liked the curry don too. In fact the overall quality of the food is really good, even for a simple soft shell crab handroll.

Though rather pricey, but I think the quality of the food is worth paying for. Definitely worth coming back (though maybe not too often... :p)

Ladies + 1 boy

Besides birthdays, christmas and chinese new year, there is one other occasion that we always meet up for - our "anniversary" - a way to celebrate our years and years of friendship! And more years to come!


It's always a girls.. or should i say ladies' nite out. We have always been very firm on that. But this year, we had the honour of "breaking tradition" as we had a little boy with us.


BUT, still no husbands allowed next year!

La Petite Cuisine

Had dinner at La Petite Cuisine at Serene Center on Friday. It is a no-frills French restaurant tucked away in a little corner in Serene Center.

I'm not big on French food but i think my hubby rather enjoyed the escargot starter dish. It was de-shelled and served on a crossiant with sauce. He tried the main course - Confit de canard (and yes, it is actually duck cooked in its own fat) and it was pretty good too.

The sphagetti i tried was rather average but well, maybe I shouldn't be taking italian food in a French eatery!

Green Tea Eau de Toilette

"Subtle complex of fresh aromas uplifts your mood--transporting you to green fields laced with the fragrances of bitter orange, jasmine, cedar and thyme. Invigorating as a Spring day. Appreciated equally by men and women for its tonic green aroma that creates sensations of well-being and freshness."

What is the one thing that self help articles in magazines will never tell you to do?

ANSWER: Stop spending money on magazines!

Chongqing Steamboat

Enjoyed a good steamboat meal at Chongqing Steamboat at Tanglin Shopping Center on Sunday night.

The fish paste was really good... and they had a good variety. Cheaper than Koka... and less messy and warm than those at Beach Road. A good in between :)

Free man x 2 weeks !!!

Been stuggling for months for my job... err... jobs and then exams... Stuggling has always been not easy. Lucky my baby is always there for me... :) This term only taking one module... but yet it still seem that there were so much to study. Maybe because it's one of the toughest module ever.

Finally over... tough paper. : Nevertheless, getting it over and done with feels so good. The rest... up to fate! Now I get to have this miserable "short" break. And it's time to enjoy... :) and perhaps time to tidy up my mess that has been lying there since.

This term saw some of my course mates finished all examable modules. How nice when the time comes for me. One more term to go !!! And I will be free from exams !!! I wonder when the day I graduate, will I be "lost" somehow... ? hmm...

Got this small little encouragement from baby just before I leave for exam... hee :D

A nice view at the end of the day

Downs... and UPS!

Also, in a short few days,
We received news that 2 of our friends gave birth to little baby boys! :D

That's life isn't it,
Some sorrows but always some joys too!

Have you said "I love you" today?

All within a short few days,
A cousin, a god-dad and sis's best friend,
Have all left us so suddenly.
Leaving behind parents, siblings, children, grandchildren and even a 5 year old child...
The only consolation is that they are free from the world's aches and pains
And hopefully in a better place.

As cliche as it sounds,
Life is short and so full of surprises.
We REALLY need to learn to treasure our lives and live it to the fullest!

Don't wait till tomorrow to tell your love ones that you love them.
I heard on the radio today that we forget to write to our love ones cos we are always so busy.
Many people wrote a lot when they were dating, a little less when they got married
And even less when they had children...
An experiment showed that the group who wrote more was totally not tempted by the opposite sex at all, versus the group who did not write at all, was more drawn to temptation.

Have you said "I love you" today?

Qoo Apple drink from Japan

Yay! Found our favourite Qoo Apple drink at a Japanese snack store at Tiong Bahru Plaza basement. The last 2 times we were in Japan, we loved it and managed to bring a few small bottles home. But we always couldn't bear to drink it and would open one only once in a long long while.

But of course this is almost double the price in Singapore. We bought the Pet Bottle size (300ml) at 100 Yen (about S$1.30) in Japan. It was retailing at S$2.50 here. Even the giant pokey was selling at $22 while we got it at 1000 Yen (S$13) in Japan.

Well, at least we don't have fly there to get it right....
