Fruitful Week.

2010.11.09 Tuesday

My shipment from Korea finally arrived.

Fixed up Custard's new scratch post and she totally digs it!

2010.11.12 Friday

Audris choped me today for a girls' afternoon.

Met her at the MRT station, bought our lunches and headed home to play with Custard.

Had dinner at Neo Garden Restaurant with the rest after stopping by BBDC to book my Final Theory Test. Ah yes, passed my BTT just the day before, on 11 November. Went home to book the test online only to realize I've insufficient credits. Bummer.

The guys had their dose of billiard at West Coast Recreation Centre and we headed home separately.

******

Can't really remember what happened for the rest of the week.

But I did bring Custard to the vet on Saturday to get her eye checked. Fortunately, nothing serious. I did get seriously traumatized by a Golden Retriever at the clinic though =S

The other worth mentioning is visiting Victor's Kitchen for Dim Sum (which I will elaborate later). Checked out a couple of condominiums over that weekend too. One was too pricey, the other has no suitable units left. Blah.

The rest are most likely something unexciting and monotonous.

2010.11.17 Wednesday

Slept in till the afternoon coz we were off to JB the previous late night.

Prepared to work on our Home Improvement Program (HIP).

Performed a 乾坤大挪移 and shifted our TV plus console to another side of the door. Of course, we had to move the sofa as well, together with the bench and coffee table. Derrick & Leah came by to pass Poppy the cutter and Yao-Yao helped out with the trunking.

Shoo-ed them off for their appointment then finished up the touch-ups and cleaning.

By then we were famished! Only had some home-cooked pasta since morning =( Met up with Alex & Mich for din-din at Ikea, then browsed for shoe cabinets. No luck though.

Alex wanted to come by and 參觀 our new setting. LOL.

So we popped by Fong Seng Nasi Lemak, near bro's school, to grab a dozen of wings before heading home. By our 3rd wing, we were stuffed to the brim. *burpppp*

2010.11.19 Friday

Again, we got up pretty late.

Couldn't decide on where to eat, so we walked over to the newly re-opened Clementi Market & Food Centre. Poppy got his fix of Chee Cheong Fun and I had economical rice. Then it was KTV time! It's been quite a while huh.

Caught up with Loh Wei and Baby Clarice for dinner in Jurong afterwards.

Then set off to meet Derrick and Leah at Sunset Grill.

Wings, nachos, beers and ribs

The deep-fried wings were pretty disappointing, nachos was good for me but Poppy felt otherwise.

Chillax a little over some beer, then we drove by Derrick's soon-to-be-ready flat in Sengkang.

'twas almost 11 by then. took a slow drive back home via Serangoon.

2010.11.20 Saturday

Had to wake up early coz we promised to send MIL and aunt to the airport for their flight to KL. Turned out we had to fetch all 3 aunts, so Popo & Gong Gong had to wait for us a bit. Grabbed breakfast at Mac then they proceeded to check-in. And it started to pour. We were totally caught off our guards and without brollies. Ran all the way to the carpark and one side of my slippers flew off. Nenepok. Anyhoos, we still went over to the Expo to collect our SCMS Race Pack amid the rain.

Dropped by Mommy's for a chat and since Poppy's been lemming to try out the Honda Airwave and check out the prices, we drove over to Turf City's car dealers for a look. Then stopped for a bit at Autobacs as well.

Since Alex (Hong) was still in JB fixing his car, so we called the other Alex (Ong). LOL. Met him, Penelope and their 2 chubby tubbies for dinner at ABC Market. My fave Koo Kee Yong Tau Foo was replaced by another stall. Sian. Ordered Kuey Chap instead. Had an additional serving of Rojak to share as well. Noms.

The bubbies had to take their milk, so the pair hurried back home.

So we did too.

2010.11.21 Sunday

Much awaited Sunday is finally here!

Alex & Mich parked their car at our place and we took Poppy's ride to town. The place was packed as usual. Yes, it's none other than Victor's Kitchen at Sunshine Plaza.

Since our trip here last week, I've found the closest competitor to Hong Kong's dim sum. Love (X 1000) their Egg Yolk Lava Bun (流沙包). We agreed it's not as good as HK's but close enough than most others.

We ordered another handful of munchies including the Siew Mai; Quail Egg Siew Mai; Glutinous Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf; Chicken Roll; Beancurd Roll; and Mango Pomelo Sago (dessert) and Summer Ice Tea (beverage).

SO DAMNED GOOD.

Hot Favorite - Lava Bun

Siew Mai

Summer Ice Tea

(Sitting in an ice-bowl)

Mango Pomelo Sago

(almost as good as Ah Chew's!)

*slurp slurp*

Satiated, we went over to Tang's to collect my 3rd & 4th hamper from Clarins. Gave Mich one of them coz I simply have to many already. And I don't dare to play the game anymore or else Poppy will chop my head off the next time I ask him to send me there to pick up another hamper =S

We then jalan-ed in FEP for a bit. Bought a pair of sandals to replace my fly-away slippers. And another pair of shorts - matchie matchie with Mich. We have identical shoes, skirt, dress and now, a pair of shorts as well. Must make sure we don't end up wearing them on the same day.

The boys were mad bored by then, so we took off and headed back to Sunset Grill.

Had the Cheesie Fries and Buffalo Wings this time 'round... but being scaredy cats, we tried the Level 1 only.

Forgot to take picture, so here's one from Mich

Not bad. We will be back for an upgrade soon.

Took off quickly coz we were surrounded by flies and all sorts of insects.

Left for Sungei Kadut. Alex wanted to check out the side-tables and we wanted to see shoe cabinet. But after 2 hours' tour in an assortment of stores/warehouses, we still returned empty-handed.

Dropped the duo at our place, then Poppy went off to meet his friend, Nelson for a bit. I stayed to pack the house and wash up. And we were both having mild flu, so popped a pill each and headed off to bed.

... and today I woke up with a sore eye - got it from Mich yesterday. Shibby.
