Super-Duper Long 7-in-1 Post!

I've been extremely busy! My sis was in town and we had big shopping and eating plans! Terence and Samantha's wedding was on thursday and I just had a photoshoot on wednesday too! Work is all piled up to my head and I have no time to clear it!!! My sis left on sunday that week and it seems like time just flew past! It has been 1 whole week since she left!

Here's a look at how I spent my busiest week of 2007!

Monday

Took the afternoon off and went shopping with mum and Essly. We went to Vivocity cos Essly hasn't been there and mum would love to shop in the big M&S. Mum bought a very cool pair of Pumas and she picked it herself!

Speed Cat Croco! I like it too!

Sis bought mum 2 tops from M&S and a dress from Pull & Bear for me(she also got the same one for herself!) Went to Tangs and she bought pressies for boyfriend, Jordan and her best friend, Ana. Then we went to Chinatown to look for Buddha statues. My sister collects Buddhas and Guan Yins. She wanna find something unique. Mum's pretty tired from all the walking and her ankles got all swollen. We end the day eating at Maxwell market. Went home and kor brought a dozen of his favourite donuts from Munchy's! He claimed that it's the best donuts he has ever eaten (I didnt blame him cos obviously he hasn't had KRISPY KREME yet!)

Since 1991??? Serious bo???

Guess who bite the donut??!!

Tuesday

Had to work full day today so only met Essly after work at Orchard. We did the big Zara, Topshop and a little bit of Taka. Took her to Liang Seah Street for dinner ar LaiLai's. She likes the Taiwanese beef noodles and the bubble tea!

Wednesday

Photoshoot at MOMOs at Chip Bee Gardens! This is for PC's early Spring campaign! I invited my sis along to the shoot too so I can introduce Simon and Corine to her and see if my sis can intro them some lobang in LA or not.

Momo is always full of inspiration for us! I want them to design my house next time!!!

Hardworking Simon!

My artistic shot! Chio bo?! Paiseh, cannot review too much of the campaign!

Keith Byrant touching up Natalia's face after lunchie!

Lazy was there too! He was super excited lor! 1st time I see him run around so much!

My CLEAR pic of Dulcy!

See how Dulcy takes my photo now......(-_- )

It's a wrap!

It was shopping at Marina Square for Essly and me again! I need to find a dress for Terence's wedding the next day but after searching forever I still can't find anything suitable! Darn! I have been putting so much weight that I can't seem to fit anything! Time to lose weight le~!!!

Essly had started to feel sick. She is too heaty from eating all the local food and whole load of junk food she stocked up at home! All the bak-gwas, pineapple tarts, tau sah piahs and mooncakes! She also got bitten by the flu bug! Chams!

Thursday

Terence and Samantha's wedding at Intercontinental Hotel. Second time this year I have attended a wedding at the hotel. The 1st one was Louisa's wedding in June.

We were quite late and the wedding was about to start. The theme was quite Terence lah... It's black and red, a little Goth. Deco includes roses on branches and the tables and seats are all covered in black fabric and red roses as decorations. The wedding favours matches the theme too - red photoframe with black stitches and red bath roses.

Red Bath Roses - No Bath tub, LayC say put in toilet bowl lor! Good idea!

LayC is bored!

We sat with people we didn't know so LayC, Boo and me just entertained ourselves. There were 2 ladies on the table we didnt really like... whole night they have this sibeh sian look on their faces. When we sat down not too long, one of the ladies also just arrived with her partner and then the 2 ladies started talking in hokkien and throwing looks and then finally the face very black one suddenly asked Layc whether we can change seats with the couple... although she tried to appear very apologetic but the face still like buay song like that. Wierd.

Then the best thing happened. The 4th or 5th dish came - mushroom with bo cai or something then Boo was helping me take and I was trying to get his sleeve out of the way just in case he stain it and I push his wine glass and red wine poured into the dish! I apologised by saying - "Sorry, Everyone!" Then the Ah fat sitting opposite me diao me and give me a very forced and weak smile and they started to comment that what vegetarians sure cannot eat liao cos got wine and some stupid remarks lah! I very pissed leh! I also not purposely one! puiiiiii them!!!!

The auntie waitress also not helping lor. She is sibeh chor-lor one lor! Kept spilling tea into my plate and onto Layc. She wasn't too pleased.

Bored, So we start to amuse ourselves!

Boo wanna get out!

Friday

Took the day off despite not finishing my work. No choice, have to bring my sis around for a bit since she spent so much money and time to fly back. Went to collect her new passport then went to Raffles City for lunch and shopping. Although I have a huge craving for Soup Spoon's mushroom stroganoff but I have decided to give in to my sister to go for Din Tai Fung instead. She gave me a face of disgust when I pointed to Soup Spoon. Well, I can understand lah... coming from an angmoh place, ang moh soup like these definately won't interest her a single bit! haha...

Essly's all ready to diggggg in!!!!

The "Zha Jiang Mian" looks so delicious, right???

This Prawn pancake is surprising delicious too! The prawn is very "springy".QQ de!

Pretty "Macro" shot of the "Xiao Long Bao"!

After lunch it was more shopping at Raffles City then we head to Orchard after that. I had an extremely bad headache that day and I didn't really have the mood to shop and besides.... I was super broke lor... can see but cannot buy... So Sian...

LayC was supposed to meet us straight after work but as usual, she "tu" in the office til 7 lor! So Bert came to meet us 1st. We went to Food Republic at Wisma looking for seats. It was a friday lor, and everytime looking for seats at FR is a nitemare. We were on the verge of giving up after 15 mins and a group of people left and we finally had a seat. Essly was so surprised at the amount of people there eating. We had light meals cos we are going to..................

Canele for Cakes!!!!

Told my sis that I'll bring her to eat nice cakes so I brought her to Canele at Robertson Quay. Though the service SUCKS but I think we can close 1 eye because of their delicious Cakes (so Pang, you heng your cake is delicious that's why still have business).

2 cakes only cos we wanna have crepe!

The 1st time we went we had tried the Nougatine crepe which was Fantabulous! So this time we wanted to try Chic Choc so we did! It was super delicious!!!!

Essly enjoying the crepe.

LayC and her favourite Strawberry Shortcake. She always have a thing for Strawberry cakes!

My sister treat all of us for the tea, crepe and cakes! So nice of her to treat my sistas too! Layc was fighting with her for the bill cos Layc wanted to treat her for showing us around when we both went to LA in 2004 for work. But my sis won so they want to treat my sis back for drinks at Clarke Quay. And I have forgotten to collect and pass Layc the mooncakes which she brought from Boo(Thanks for the support!!!). Off we go to Clarke Quay and we end up at.........

Indochine

Bert's sian cos there was something very bright behind us....

It's this! Clarke Quay's directory! Extra bright I tell U!

We were also not spared from underneath us. Indochine's pamplet put into good use!

We sat at this side of Indochine.

Our drinks.... I forgot what Bert was having.....

Saturday

Took Essly to Lao Zhao Pai at Central again cos I had to deliver a Pandan chiffon cake made by me mum(she is famous for her pandan cake!) to Boo's mum. This year I didn't buy her any mooncakes cos she had already bought a big box from Boo to give it to me and it didn't make sense if I buy her the same box again so I had ask my mum to make something for my future in-laws.

Mum still insist on beating the egg-whites and sugar by hand.

Our portable oven, circa 1970s; older then Me!!!

Cake is so big that it needs to be lifted higher still!

Went to Central to deliver the cake and met Boo's mum and aunt there too so we had a chat with them until it was time for us to head to Chinatown cos Essly's still looking for a unique buddha statue to buy home. She is also looking for something special for Jordan, her boyfriend. After walking along Smith Street and Sago Street, she had gotten herself a small round smiling buddha statue and a medium size buddha statue. She was done "buddha-shopping". I couldn't resist Tong Heng's egg tarts so i ran across the street to get some for myself and Boo. We got mum a "5-ren" mooncake too. After that I brought Essly to Ann Siang Hill for a walk to let her have a feel of one of the Atas place I was telling her about. She liked the very old shophouses with modern and interesting shop concept.

Essly loves Ann Siang Hill!

I like this! Pretty vintage tiles!

Me trying to take artistic pic!

We went back to Central to look for Boo who has specially take time off work to go eat durians and beef kway teow at Geylang with us! We met Ronn at the durian place. Opened 5 durians and Essly and I ate the most cos Boo can't eat because of his tonsilities record and Ronn said he was heaty! Damn! After which we walked to Lor 9 for the famous beef kway teow.

The kway teow's standard had dropped and the prices had gone up quite a fair bit. Disappointed.

Haven't been to Geylang for quite some time and I had notice a big change. It's messier now with lots of China prositutes walking around in skimpy outfits, massive groups of middle-aged men gathered at kopitiam to sing KTV and women selling themselves even on normal lorongs! Sibeh Haps, I'm telling you.................

Sunday

Sent Essly off at 2 plus along with mummy, Ronn and Richmond. So sad to see her leave but hope she will come again or I might go soon!

*phew*
