forest adv & batam spree = vesak holiday

happy vesak day mina san! a long weekend n well deserved break we've been crying for.

weekend was busy.. made a trip down to visit zhe san and after crapping for an hour or so, made my way down to bedok to meet becca n zhen for our forest adventure! it's my 2nd time there and it seems like everyone enjoyed the obstacles and appreciating the good workout they're getting. heh. went to see jessica's new puppies..shucks.forgot to bring my camera..they're so small n cute like soft toys running around. a maltese and a pekinese. super kawaii.

they had a mini muffin cake belated bday celeb for me.. famous muffins from somewhere along east coast road..i'm a muffin fanatic! yummy.

sunday was spent in good ole batam. again. haha. this time round with my colleagues Zal n Mahani. everything went according to our plan...eat, shop, eat, shop. perfect combi.

it's crazy how everyone is crazy over donuts. the Q at J-co was mad. ppl grabbing boxes n boxes of those fattening doughs, their satisfaction showing on beaming faces. haiz.. even out of singapore, the donut craze is still spreading like a virus. Phew, I'm totally immunized.

we spent our time in the same mall from 1pm - 9pm...don't ask me. we couldn't believe it either.


~ready to board the ferry...batamFAST!~


~zal looks too demure...tak boleh tahan zal..this is not u! haha.~


~me and zal. will miss u when u leave us..haiz.~


~gorged on A&W before continuing with dessert at J-Co...sinfully delicious.J-Co there is cheap tho.. 1 dozen box is around 52,000 ruppiah..equals to about S$7.50..~


~very full but still eating.~




~outside hypermart...the supermarket we spent a bulk of our time..pantyliners n pads are super cheap there..chk out crazy singaporeans stocking up.~


~kentang donut..basically donuts made of potato..mahani q-ing up gleefully.~


~my 2 gal frens q-ing for donuts..sighz. spent about 45min waiting for them...the shelves were emptied and spent like dunno how long waiting for chefs to rebake.!!!~


~getting bored from waiting.~



~hungry. our ayam pengyat was pathetically small..the chicken abit malnutritioned. but it tasted quite good. gado gado was yummy too.




~havibng our parting kaya toast at the ferry terminal..the toast looks shrivelled too.~


~happy with my restock of t-shirts....yeah! guess what...all these cost less than 25 bucks...conquered @batam centre mega mall Matahari.. something like our version of OG or robinsons.~

Happy Birthday mochi san....~

happy birthday to moi! (^_^)v

spent a leisurely and expensive day to myself. haven't had that in a long time coz so bloody engrossed in work. shopped shopped shopped in spacious orchard today! John Little got 40% sale! took the chance to top up my toiletries n some make-up..heh.

evil shit's managing an event too so he worked till late into the night. we forced ourselves to meet up yesterday for dinner to celebrate my bday. yea. he gotta literally tell me to abandon my work n get out to have a life. that's what he told himself too. haha.

He suggested Pasta Brava @ Craig Road just beside Tj Pagar Plaza. It is a nice italian restaurant tucked in one of those ulu corners. very nice ambience, pretty authentic n tasty pasta. We were so late that the 1st thing the restaurant asked was " any last order?" ...sollie ah...we haven't even ordered.


~ got abit tired looking at the funny italian names... haha~




~calamari was oishii and didn't taste too oily... yum~


~my seafood marinara... of coz it came in a way longer name...nice niceeeee~


~ tiramisu.... evil shit took a bite and warned me that i would not like it...yep. i hated it. liquor taste was too strong! yucks!... he had the fats to himself... i'm saved!~


~ doodling a picture.... guess guess guess!! beast!~


~ naz thought beast should look like this...not my version.. sollie ah..mine is disney version k. but hor... have to admit his was quite drawn! ~

As advanced evidence to show that i'm indeed older, I left the restaurant wearing the green bib the waitress put on for me so that the pasta would not dirty my top. yep. naz saw it and had to bring it back to the restaurant.???!!!

and to further convince me that my birthday is here, I did the silliest thing ever. Was happily shopping in town till I realised I actually wore my office slipper + my birkens together by mistake. KAOZ. way too malu..... mochi san!!! wake uP!!! yep. imagine evil shit's face when he saw it.. surprisingly, he didn't react that much to it. think he's accustomed to all my malu shits.



just some random pics i took... did i tell you i love my camera??


~ surprise flowers on my desk when I returned from meeting... thx evil shit!~





~ me and joanneeee~


~ some of my closer colleagues...Mahani a.k.a. My Honey....kak Rosnah, Evelyn aka Matt and me aka shiny


~ top is Ann and Krish beside me...smilezzz... they actually questioned my wide angle camera whether all heads can fit... omg.. what audacity!! of coz it can!~

all pumped up

my shoes played me out this morning. why why why. according to evil shit, as evil as usual, it was a double sign to ask me take MC today. I decided to wear this pair of shoes which I haven't worn since half a year ago forgetting the high possibility of it disintegrating due to infrequent usage.

mochi says: yes gals, those who dunno. Shoes will disintegrate if not worn for a long time although they might be new shoes.

yep.. felt my left shoe loosening and 2 secs later the right shoe buckle came flapping down onto the floor. WTH. hobbled with the buckle knocking melodiously on the ground as I trudged to the bus stop trying to kiap the left shoe in place using my super toes power. perspired under the merciless morning sun while making my way back home to change my shoes and was super late for work.

been on a strict exercise regime since last week..mon, wed n fri are exercise days. and maybe sun. managed to keep to it for a week... hope I can tahan 1 month and see some results. less flabby n cellulite infested thighs. ganbatte mochi san!

it's tues...................... i feel like shopping. wanna buy the solelover's mary janes, a pair of black jeans, nice tops, new shoes.... got this thing about flat pumps now...they're so comfy for work when rushing for buses or trains.

need okane to rain on me.

a long time no see gathering...~

just saw my disciplined gym sessions for the past week went down the drain yesterday. had suki sushi buffet with evil shit.. purposely didn't gorge myself in preparation for the korean buffet for dinner. so.. here's the pigging out post with ex OC-ians. yep.. Happy Belated Birthzday buddy ng..!!


~ the korean buffet at AWON Korean @ Excelsior Hotel... limited spread and the pathetic canal of steamboat at the circumference of the pot. wide enuff to only put a few strands of noodles lor. weird steamboat~

Back from Batam 1 May 08

ただいま！back from pulau batam! お帰りなさいもちさん！happy talking to yourself mochi san...

yeah. did the 3 letter word during the whole of my trip. N.U.A. Amazing how this well this word encapsulates the whole mood of my holiday. Purajaya resort was away from the city area, hidden from the bustling of town, situated right next to the beach. Facilities were not so well maintained. Didn't managed to do any water sports coz the speed boat engine was koyak. shit. but we managed to amuse ourselves and nua to the max anyhows. quiet place with lots of cute angmoh kids... so so kawaii. They looked like they walked right out from osh kosh ads.

3 days 2 nights.... and I took 339 pics! on my new baby IXUS 850IS.. 8 MP, wide-angle, 3 inch LCD.... my new baby! had so much fun just clicking n clicking. Okay, a bit tough to filter out from 339 pics to display here.

~me and nadia ready to play bridge!~

~the cutest angmoh kid i spotted! she's sooooo cuteeee.~

~ breathtaking yolk like sunset..one of the best i've seen! ~
~a looomantic pic togetherz~
~PuraJaya Resort's night view...~

~a try at ATV...All Terrain Vehicle....quite fun except the engine is so bloody hot...legs nearly became BBQ drumsticks..~

~silhouette pic during sunset~
~caught this shot with the 10 angmoh kids watching sunset..beautiful~

papayafied

itching for the short getaway...far away from all the rubbish I've been dumped with. Saw this papaya pic and inspired me to describe what I've went thru.... I am papayafied. scratching your head ??! puzzled?? yep. that's exactly how I feel..!!

这是什么垃圾世界。怪人，怪事，泼妇骂街，无理取闹的老女人。

五月天的演唱会好像是最近发生在我身上最正常，最有人情味的事。
