Nowadays, I kept having full day stuff to attend to. Just like the day I went out with wenqi, before that I worked from 6:30am-3pm, cabbed home, bathed, went out with wenqi for etthusias makeover, went for snacks, shopped for present, then waited for baby to go home to play wii with me.
Today I had girly time with mel and eric, then to bea's party for her son, syakir for his birthday. BBQ and all ! Great catching up time :)
For every day of this week, it's been like this, which is why I hardly have time to blog, really!
For this mid autumn, it was miserable cos I was so busy. I only had time for sparkles which Eli gave me 2 just now ( includes one with star design, will upload video!) and Syakir's electric lantern for like 2 minutes and I gave it back because it was not girly :( As for mooncakes and all, I eat mooncakes EVERY day, which spells why my tummy is so big now. I need some exercise, hello!!
I'll really be back to blog, especially for tomorrow's as I'm really tired from full day acitivities!
Am excited cos tomorrow would spell dim sum and yet another fun noon.
For now,
Happy __th BIRTHDAY to these people:
SYAKIR, that you will grow up to be a good man, and for now, a good kid that is blessed with all toys of your dreams,
CALVIN that you will earn loads loads soon to make your wish of travel and work come true,
and ms BEATRICE the best to your studies and stay pretty always :)
XOXO!
If you're looking for a good gift this mooncake festival for your family, loved one's relatives or just for self indulgence, do take these for reference! I've tried and tested every single one of them through the years to realise the best of each mooncakes.
if you have any complaints, please route it to my comment page haha!
1) best traditional mooncake: 香港美心 (hongkong's Maxim)
can be found in tampines mall, cant be very sure about ion because mom bought these this year and i fell in love with it!
bought another for js' family! it's $43 per box and it's so soft and good! it has to be the better than all the local hotels! uploading pics when i can!
2) best fruit 冰皮 mooncake: Goodwood Park Hotel
for its mango with pomelo and durian.
I usually buy 2 pomelos and 2 durians. They're awsome. The rest of the flavors, I'll give them a miss.
3) best yam mooncake: Park Hotel
try this because it's so good. you cant find park hotel as its under reno but im sure some malls carry them since their F&B's operations' still running.
the crispy skin is to die for, and the yam tastes like or ni , for those who are yam paste lovers.
4) Ice cream mooncake: Swensons'
for kids. Any better you have to go buy mochi from beardpapa or jap restaurants
5) champagne with truffle mooncake: Raffles Hotel
'nuff said about this hotel's snow skin mooncake.
worth the calories everyone's raving about.
* **
I'm hoping to buy Raffles Hotel's mooncakes soon, but I'm lemming for Goodwood's Durian's ;(
For the traditional ones, you have to buy HK Maxim's!!! Really. My mom said that if granny was alive, she would have liked it, i thought so too!
I am not a biggie fan for traditional's, but this is so soft, it melts into the mouth ( the skin included) and it's so yummmyyyyyyyy. OMGISH maybe i should buy another of this instead! No wonder it's been a famous label in HK for the past 11 years!
I dont mind trying the snow skin ones too, reviews here:

Dad brought us out for dinner today and i suggested eating zhi char/ yu tou lu!
if you know me, i love zhi chars, i can have zhi chars everyday if it's not unhealthy.
the famous 天外天！ branch @ bedok north.
the three of us ordered 4 dishes, including a prawn roll and it's really good. The scallops are fresh, I can't very much rave about the pa gu wang bcos it's quite normal, but the yu tou lu is superrrrrrrr good! The flesh of the garoupa's fish is very fresh and urgh, speaking of which, the yam's also very nice!
I wanted cereal prawns but we all doubt we could finish so next weekend then! I want my dessert session which my brother spoiled it for me because he had no keys to the house :(
Going to sleep! Revision class tomorrow ( last lesson of the yearrrr!!!)
I should start studying since I havent been to too many classes this year, I should I should!
When I'm in ION, i need a guide. I can't seem to figure my way yet. The escalators confuse me too!
Finally, my provence buns
I love these! They're soft and taste exceptionally good!
upon collecting my david&golaith stuff, check out what I got from D&G
" Rainbows are pretty, but you're not " nylon tote! I think it's very apt to bring to Sentosa!
After my Michael Potty research, I went to meet JS for dinner.
I look alittle pale here cos I haven't fully recovered yesterday.
Had 2 panadols before I went out, woke up with a headache and tummyruns.
we finally made use of our new york new york 1-for-1 voucher with the application of the members card during my birthday.
there was so much to finish, I made him clear my plate too. My binbin haha! :)
and while he's busy at working on the food,
I'll just do alittle camwhore.
Figured the scene mode alittle, found pinhole, my current favorite scene to take shots.
i think frowning adds on my wrinkles and fine lines..
i need anti ageing serum now >:(
and the kid at work
i will decor my own cake one day.... when i find the inspiration to!!! HAHA!!
and as for clothes, i've gotten two off www.saetin.com and here's what I have to say:
v-neck surplice flutter dress
i really like this dress, it's in the shade of royal blue and it's made of cotton. It has a waist band so it clinches at waist. This reminds me of empire cut attires. The V neck flutter design accentuates the bust and this dress overall has a slimming effect. The back is a U-neck with ribbon, I like this alot, isn't too informal for work too.
I hope to wear this for sunday's date with my friends :)
and the second is my fave, i call it the " i fell in love with this dress" dress.
yulia dress.
the material is thick and superb! looks like those boutique pricey dresses. comes in the shade of very very light blue.
it's flowy and has an inner layer, so i'm able to pair with dark color undergarments.
it's m bust and it clinches at waist, with a A-line like bottom.
a dress that i can go italian restaurants, weddings, to.
very pretty! :)
best of all is they're affordable, nothing beyond $24.
I'm going to wear them out soon soon and I can't believe that they are better than I expected while shopping online.
now i'm lusting after their cross-back empire shift dress, another shift dress :P
my eyes hurt, im going to sleep! hope you like the reviews :)
XOXO!!!
P.S.
happy advanced birthday sha, hope you like the presents.
I'll do an entry on her birthday when sarah and I get to upload the pictures! :P
SOME OVERDUE PICTURES!
( of japanese food )
SO TIRED T_T
i didn't sleep the whole of yesterday+today because I felt uptight about my supposed submission next week ( it's 50% of my course and i havent started) but today i realised evryone is submitting the first draft- which meant that the deadline is the week after next.
oh well, starting early is better than starting late. i have a test that's in 3 weeks time anyway ( & 8 freakin' chapts!)
( pictures under cut )
pictures from last mth's.
edited 3 weeks ago but im just lazy to put it up.
( my bestfriends and their love for food )
couldnt sleep the night before tsk..
i really dislike the feeling of no-8-hours sleep, i feel super lethargic, puffy eyes, pimples popping out anytime, argh it's just irritating
( Shokudo Lunch )
i went to fix my camera @ harbourfront last wk and argh, i was told today that it wil cost me a whooping $227 to fix it.
I wasnt very happy but what to do :\
called Song brothers and realised that Panasonic LX3 is out of stocks, so I decided to call my usual supplier and see what he can do for me.
ZZZZZZ.
* * *
( of ION and deli food! )
kindly wait for pictures to load :P
hillsongs tomorrow, cant be more excited, thanks to jams.
meanwhile, let's keep up with the pictures:
( a date to remember )
talked to JS about my diet but somehow he gave me a fishy look, doubting it has any use. the next moment, i hopped to the japanese supermart and grabbed tidbits because " i usually have no lunch at home", which is true to a large extent because im lazy to cook+clean up+ go out to eat.
JS believes in EXERCISE because exercise means you can eat almost everything in your 3 meals, which is also true bcos jori our national team friend said there's no particular diet for him.
my mom said im the most unhealthy person on earth. i rarely sleep, eat supper/dinner more than my lunch/breakfast and exercise when i feel like it. Believe it or not, my mom is slimmer than me also because she's petite :(
i love supermarts but my mom and boyf hates me going there, the worst time is to go before my meal because i will look like im craving for everything, i actually sweep them off the racks and store it in my room. I know I sound like a pig but I'm not that advanced yet because they will always place them back in the racks where they belong and I'm only left with " what i am capable of having". Sometimes all they need to do is to stare at me.
Today i checked out $9 worth of snacks, excluding his, which is quite healthy and JS gave me a treat because I totally deserve it ( i made the ending of this statement up). I think he's guilty because of the times he left me alone when he needed to go for his trainings.
Wait a min, you think $9 is a lot of snacks? It only meant 2 types!
Dinner was good but I'm writing so much because I can't edit my photos until I'm done with "finding issues with my assignment" ( pun intended.)
( the simple life )
now my top 3 fave japp restaurants, along with ajitei and sushi tei! :)
( hello food! )
hoho, we actually talked more than we took pictures, which is why we only had one couple shot.
ok i gotta have dinner, and i'll be going for a 3D2N genting trip with JS.
back with pictures i hope,
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
huisyuans will also be updating when i'll be back, can't wait!!im going to dye my hair black and JS is obviously not very happy about it hahahaha. the roots are growing out and im so lazy to have to dye it every 2-3 mths, im just going to be a good girl for my final semester.
anyway, IM SO HUNGRY.........
i only had a meal today, i should really supper later ( like cook something to eat?) cos im craving to eat anything edible at all!
( shokudo )
my frolick yogurt , i like this picture cos it's well taken hahahahaa and not edited okay,
like it that its sides look "burned" but the focus on the yogurt.
( food after gym )
i love talking to her, she's this person who can talk to me in any way that i enjoy talking to.
