it's a rainy day~

Our itinerary for today was to have an outdoor shot at Sungei Buroh but it rained! So sad :(
No choice lohz, I just met up with BF at Orchard to change $$ at Lucky Plaza. After comparing the rates with several money changers, we managed to find one at a corner that offered good rates. hehe~ I think it's dat one Rain has recommended before.
Hmm, the rate isn't that good as before compared to a few years back.
Exchange rate: S$1.00 = 22.9 baht

After our mission is completed, we started our engine for shopping. I know I shouldn't be buying things since I will be going Bangkok to wipe out their stores but I cant control when I saw many sales around~ lol. In the end, I got myself a dress, top and pants which are nice~ I will be wearing my new top and pants to Bangkok! Yipee~ It's my style to buy at least a new set of clothings whenever im going for a holiday.. I just want to look good in photos :D~ Now, Im all set for next wed~ Heard the news from BF about the Bangkok Rally happening next week! Oh well, we will just be careful. I am sure GOD will look after us too. I have trust in Him.

I am going church tomorrow to pray for our safety.
Going to help BF to wash his Xiao Hei tomorrow. I like it when it's sparkling clean 'cuz it's our efforts!

In case you are wondering who is Xiao Hei, it's actually.....





Wendi will be flying from 25th - 28th Feb.....

Updates...
Last Thurs, treated my godbro to dinner at Hong Kong cafe @ ECP. No special reason for the treat but just felt that he deserved one from me! After dinner, we took a stroll along the ECP and then drove past Geylang for some "eye-catching" stuffs before we called it a day... ~ So exciting lehz to go for a spin at a red light district area.

Yesterday had dinner with my ex-coll, ET @ Esplanade mall. Thanks to him, I just found out at a corner on 2nd level, there is a nice Japanese restaurant Ichiban Boshi that serves spendid executive set dinners at affordable prices and most importantly, they tasted nice! Serving size was generous. After dinner, we sat at Esplanade walk and shared about our stories, our lives.. It's been a long time since I have been caught doing so :)~ I guess when we are busy with our lives, we tend to forget the basic fundamental of lives.

Heee.. my trademark pose~

ET's executive set dinner

My choice of dinner... There's a fire underneath to keep the beef warm.

My eye problem arises again! It's the third time that I have visited the same doctor and still, the red thing didn't fully recovered.... :( The doc told me my eye did not recover was due to the haze. I have stopped wearing contact lens. I have put on my glasses everyday. Now I can only wait and pray it will be over soon..

My day started today feeling so tired and lazy with a mild headache that has not recovered from last night.. *yawn* I'll just stay at home today and pack my messy room + a little nap~

Updates from yesterday, 14th Feb...

Had a good Valentine dinner with my bro.. He is lonely. I am lonely. We are both lonely. haha. It just so happened that my bf was on standby, thus the reason why we dated each other. It's been a long time since I went out with my bro and treating him with delicacies.
We simply loved Sushi Tei!! After dinner we watched the movie "slumdog millionaire". Tickets for afternoon was sold out thus we could only manage to get tix for late evening. The storyline was quite interesting and unique with a mixture of comedy and emotional scenes. FYI, the movie was shot in India. There was a scene I could remembered vividly, the bad guy dug out the eyes of an orphan with a spoon so he could go begging in the streets. It made my hairs stand... :S

After the dinner, my sweet bf then picked us up from Vivo and drove us home.~

Early Valentine Special ~ 2009 at 1929



Its our 4th time celebrating Valentine's Day.. and this time at..
Ember



Hotel 1929


the door is so nice that I want a pic with it!

viewing the chinatown streets while eating

BF and I planned to start our Valentine celebration early as he is on standby on actual day.
He brought me to Ember restaurant for dinner, just located at hotel 1929. As the road was closed for the Thaipusam festival, bf had to park his car further away from the restaurant. And damn it, I wore the wrong heels and the pain was biting on my skin. I had a hard time trying to walk normally. haha. But despite this, the pain was still worth it!

I was impressed by the outlook of the restaurant, its an open concept with glass panels looking out to chinatown streets, layout is simple and nice. A fine bistro restaurant that was located at chinatown. Luckily there wasn't any disturbance of noise or it would have been a turn-off for the night. I hate it when people laughed and giggled so loudly from other tables. It would spoil anyone's Valentine night. For mains, bf ordered the pork belly while I had the truffle seabass by recommendation from the waitress. The seabass was one of the fish I have tried and the best I will remember! Tender and soft.. We also had the soft shell crab and I need to add this: they served really nice sauces!



For dessert, we had the warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream. The molten chocolate was oozing out and melting into our mouths. The food quality did not fail to my expectations. We had a great evening there.

As the night was still young, we decided to pop by Seventh Heaven for some nice ice-cream. It's an "only for adults" ice-cream parlour! They served alcoholic ice-creams and proud to say, I am a great fan of alcoholic stuffs although I am a lousy drinker. =)
The cafe is tucked inside a ulu place at the Marketing Institue of Singapore. It will not be easy to find your way there without any street directory or GPS.

As it was our first time trying out, we opted for the three ice-cream sampling at S$13.80. They came in three different flavours of our choices. Nice place for chats but the place could revamp into something more cozier. I will definitely be there again, this time to try other alcoholic flavours! hehe..
