Mini Punggol Park Adventure!

WC has been trying to be more "healthy" recently but I have 1001 excuses to reject him.
It always seems like I am against the idea (but 99% of the time, I will enjoy it), I just lack the motivation to go for it.
And since he never pushes me to do things against my will, this frustrates both of us cos we dunno whether to keep the activity going not. LOL.

So after the "usual" debate, we went ahead for our cycling trip at Punggol Park.
We did our runs there before, but we didn't realise that Punggol Park was so HUGE and BEAUTIFUL.
We thoroughly enjoy our ride though our butt aches after two hours of cycling!

WC was in charge of navigating our tandem through the sea of cyclists and I was in charge of playing music and taking pictures. 

WC looked so funny here.
Got so hot meh???

We rewarded ourselves with some Pasar Malam food after that.
Finally got to try the famous Ramly burger after so long!
Highly raved but I doubt I will eat again.
Haha nice no doubt, but it's not exactly that fantastic plus it is so messy eating it.

Some random photo.. Someone knocked on my house door on Monday.

Just to deliver supper for me while I am doing my assignment :)

A random dinner photo.. My favourite all time!

One more day to the weekend! Yayyy!

What is your aspiration?

At the most unexpected time today, I was called into my boss' office and the first sentence he said to me was:

"What is your aspiration?"

Three years into my job, I am thankful I still feel the passion for it.
The moment I enter this job, I know it is more for interest rather than fame and money.

There are times when I looked at my peers and are envious how well they are doing, travelling all over the world, enjoying the side of the society that I think I never will experience.

Saying so much., it's as good as saying I have no aspiration.

He interrupted my train of thoughts again with another question:

"Do you think you are interested in kp-ship at work?"
I was shocked my answer came out so quickly, "No. Not at the moment."
I think I stunned him. At 26, I ought to be more ambitious, have more aspiration. Attaining leadership position will definitely means a better prospect at work, though it means I have less time to do what I want at my job. How can I be so certain of what I want? Honestly, I am not 100% certain (especially when he told me opportunity doesn't always come knocking on your door).

I might sound 没出息 when I say this but I envision myself to end work on time, have some time to do grocery shopping and prepare a whipping hot meal (and sometimes supper) for WC when he returns from work. To go for one or two holiday together in a year, to do tuition if I need the extra cash, to indulge myself and buy some stuff I like once in a while. At least now I think I will get more satisfaction from this than from work.

 This might not be accepted by many and you might say I have many years in my life in future to do that.
I think everyone has their own yardstick and one not necessarily has to be a cookie cutter girl to be accepted right? Seldom pen down my personal thoughts here though this blog is to serve as a diary for all my happy memories. Maybe a few years down the road when I start to doubt my choice, this will serve as a reminder for me, to remind me what I actually want in my life, what actually makes me happy :)

Because I miss prawn pancake from DTF

How's your week?
I always look forward to the weekend cos work is getting more draining over the days.
I hate this period cos it's like you see the light at the end of the tunnel, but will never reach the end no matter how fast you move.

Back to happier stuff, check out my prawn pancake!

It is a must order for us every time we head to DTF but I find it so expensive cos it's such a small portion and it's always gone before you realise.

So WC has been asking me to learn how to cook it.

So here it goes!

Pretty yummy I would say, just that I didn't know I have to wipe the bean curd skin to remove the saltiness. Heehee.

Other than that, received much rave from Daddy and WC! 

My happy pill popped over for dinner and entertained me the whole night with magic tricks he learnt at work.

And when I try to use the same trick on my dad, I got exposed immediately. Zzzzz.

Friday night date with some pancakes and waffles!

Had the highly raved Garlic Prawn Pancake at Strictly pancakes, but it tasted only mehh in my opinion. Got a little sick of it after a piece. 

 

And it ended up like this.


Thank god we shared cos we had this pit-less basket of wedges at just $6.

We took a stroll around town and ended the night with a cup of milk tea and our endless chitchat session together.

Love times like this though we probably can't remember what we talked about.  Exploring hand phone app, sharing about our daily happenings and thoughts- Just some time together without any disturbance :)

*****

Look who woke me up early on a Saturday morning!

My Grandma was excitedly exclaiming "Lee Ming Shun lehhh! Filming at the market!"

How to miss the most handsome guy in Mediacorp? Haha..

Turned out it was Li Teng. Zzzzz..

Haha but what's the chance we see celebrities at our void deck? *Quick snap a closeup*

We headed to BOWS in the afternoon and I fell in love with this.

Me: " Won't it be cool if our wedding car is this?"

WC: " Please! You won't want to be caught in the rain!"

Me: -_____________-' (I got the most romantic boyfriend in the world!)

Not nice meh????

And IKEA after that to gather some ideas for our new place!
(Spot my talented model!)

Of cos we can't be getting any furniture now so we got my favourite meatballs and chicken wings insread!!!

Sunday was spent at WC's place again watching show and slacking around.
The boy was checking his work email while I was watching my 冲上云霄 2 but I have no problem "luring" him over with my show and yummy tea break! (Or maybe he just want to see Fala Chen and Myolie Wu!)

Love Cedele cakes but didn't know they have such cute takeaway boxes too!

Ended the weekend with a good dinner with my two best friends! ♥

Okiedokey! Time to continue with my show again! 

开学咯!

Finally back to school after graduating 3 years ago!

Coincidentally, Jia and I started school together on the same day :)

Now that I mention, with Jia in the hostel now, it does feel a little different at night (but I am not complaining cos I do enjoy having the whole bed to myself heehee)

So school started. And WC came to meet me for dinner cos he says it's the first day of class.

He waited 3 hours for me for my class to end, just to send me home after that.

That's the stuffs he will do, to make me love him more each day:)

Cheers to the long weekend :)

I am always proud to say I am a Singaporean, to wave my passport around in other countries, and get offended when people mistook us as Chinese and I will always rebut, no, I am a SINGAPOREAN!

We might not have the most beautiful scenaries, the richest heritage or the most interesting and carefree lives but I will never trade my citizenship for anything else (though I do fantasize at times how nice it will be if I am a Korean haha) cos my family, friends and memories are here :)

Another reason we love our National Day cos we got a long weekend this year!!
That means I can see WC for five days in a row! Dabadabadoooo~~

Went for brunch with my colleagues at eM by the River.
A pretty serene place in the morning but I believe it's a nice chillout place by night judging from the decorations.

I am not exactly a brunch person and was glad they allow us to choose from their noon menu though we were there around 10.
Nothing beats a good chitchat with my fun colleagues over good food! :)
 

Their famous Crispy Chicken Wings which I really think taste like Har Cheong Gai.

Don't get me wrong. It tastes really good!

My pulled pork sandwich which was quite a disappointment :(

That's all the picture I snapped cos we always order repeated dishes or ended up forgetting to take them before the food was snatched clean.

Feel so taitai-ish that day cos I arranged for a spa session at Little Dot's Haven for myself after my brunch date.

Really impressed by the service and quality though it's a groupon deal.
Plus a really attentive staff who keeps checking with me throughout the whole service "Sayang, are you ok? Sayang is the pressure right?"

Came home, waited for WC to end work and we headed off to ChompChomp for dinner!
So glad that Jia came with us then we can order more food!!

And maybe it's a wrong choice to get her.
It became a 2 vs 1 kinda battle. The two wanted to order EVERYTHING so all my protests were denied. Haha.
And there were more that we ordered that were not here!

No one leaves ChompChomp not smelling like crap and no one leaves Serangoon Gardens without Udders!

WC: Go Udders see see la!
Me: Eat again? No way!!
*look at my sister*
Sis: Ice cream? I don't mind!

So we went to eat again!!
With two of the dearest in my life :)

Hari Raya was spent resting at WC's place while he did his work and ate the Phad Thai I cooked for him!

Love cooking for WC cos he always show so much appreciation for whatever I cooked even when I think it's not nice..

Headed to Van's new house during dinner.

My dear friend is still as cute as ever even after her marriage.. She said she cooked dinner for us (but all done using air fryer! haha). Luckily we still got to try her mum's cooking though she has shifted out.

No picture of her new place but so happy for my danjakk who looked so blissful after marriage.

Make me wanna get married too!!! Hahahaha (Provided WC wants to do all the housework like Corn in future!)

Only took picture of this little darling who brought so much laughter to everyone that day!

And yesterday, I followed WC with his family to S.E.A Aquarium.

The place was mad crowded on National Day.. My poor toe was stepped on so many times at the aquarium :(

It's amazing how fast I lose my interest in something new.

A month ago, I snapped photos at every marine creature I saw at the museum but I only snapped less than 10 photos yesterday.
But nonetheless, we had so much fun and laughter.
Like what WC always say, it's always the company that counts :)

Love how the guy who took this for us capture the sharks behind as well.

SEA wanted to charge us $50 for a picture like this! Siao lo!
I think mine is nicer! :))

And WC bought ourselves a jersey each for my monthsary gift!

Love it much though I might not be a fan cos it puts such a wide smile across his face when he sees us in it:)
He loves the idea of having couple tops and guess jerseys is the only thing I will succumb to. LOL.

I had a good laugh yesterday at the fitting room.

I came out to show him how I looked in my jersey.

WC: Nice leh. You like? Me: *Stare at him with a blank face*. 

You mean there's anyone who is a non soccer fan to like a jersey?

WC: Ok.. I like. Buy! And very huat leh... Two jerseys cost $188! *Laugh and makes payment*

Happy Monthsary love! One more month to the big 3! *Muacks*

With fun, love and food :)

Cos I still haven't gotten the photos from PX for Van's wedding (haha and I swore I never want to rely on others for photos anymore), I am "complaining" every time I do up a blog post.

I love instagram cos they help me to remember what I have done in the week.
No need to edit and they just look so nice. Heehee.

Treated Jia to Korean dinner at Seoul Yummy cos she's starting school soon.
Also a celebratory treat for me cos I am finally gonna get the whole room to myself! MUAHAHAHA.

Had a meetup with my dearest girlfriends last Wednesday.
We had with us a special guest!
Corinne used to be in our secondary one "clique" but we had not met each other others for years after graduation.(Can you believe it, the rest of us went to the same school and same class and some in Uni through our studying years!)
On some random day, Serene suddenly decided that we should meet her (thank god Bella still have her number), and TADA, we met again!

I hold these girlfriends close to heart because there is this inseparable bond among us.
We might not meet all the time, but nothing seemed to change each time we meet. There's always this familiarity and comfort that draws us closer to each other :)

Haha someone commented on Lena's FB we look like some pageant girls.
Don't puke! The way we pose (especially Gen!) do strike some similarity!

So proud of my boy who decided to do the Army Half Marathon again (the last time he did was when we first met and I was like "WOW". This guy is fit leh! But that was also the last time. HAHAHA) so WC and I decided to go healthy and started on our weekly running regime.

Been at it for two weeks already and hope we can sustain it.
My favourite ban mian and dessert treat after the run also serves as an incentive for me!:)

I really think Zumba has made me a little fitter cos the nuapok me can now run 40 minutes non-stop without feeling very breathless. (I used to run only 15 minutes and refused to budge anymore heehee)

So sad I can't continue now as it clashes with my night class that's starting next week:(

All cranky after the run

The geeks FTW!

Weekend date at Suntec area cos we were attending some wedding fair.
Really excited cos we went to my dream wedding venue after that to check out their wedding package.
But it's so expensive for the type of food they offer.. food guru like us need to reconsider again :x

Isn't it beautiful?????

So we headed to Millenia Walk for our afternoon tea.
Saw this on Cafehopping and so glad we came!
It is rather pricey to pay $9 for a slice of cake but this is DA BOMB!
Totally worth every cent we paid for!

We happened to get ourselves a counter seat so we get to witness the barista's coffee art!

Look what he got me! 

Such a blissful afternoon watching the crowd go past you with mouthful and mouthful of delicious cake and coffee, and imagining how our future home will look like cos their counter serves as an inspiration for our future home :)

Went for bowling after that!
Long time since I have done that, but judging from my noob pose, you know what a good player I am!

One of my highest score! LOL.
The mood was so high at MS we had so much fun there.
There were actually family cheering us on, an Aunty Thor (I called her that cos she always throw the ball hard on the ground) who gets so excited she always walk into our lane while watching her ball knocking the pins down.

*****

Sunday night was spent resting at my place cos WC was called back for work at midnight yesterday. 

We discovered a new ice cream parlour near my place called 320Below.
They had a wide variety of choices but everyone that patronise the shop seemed to order the same flavour. 

We were one of them- Christmas Horlick.
I would say it's overpriced ($5.60) for a scoop like this except maybe the part where the nitrogen helps to freeze the milk was pretty amazing.

Neon lights plus smoke. Machiam a witch conjuring an ice cream from her magic potion.

Ending off the post with some Teriyaki Chicken Ball I made for our dinner yesterday!
It looks as good as it tastes!

Short week this week!
Can't wait for the exciting long week holiday!
