Mini playground

"These are for you.", said Renee to XT. 

It's Saturday and we wanted to visit little XL and family so we made a trip to the East.

Friendship among the little girls were established at the gate of the Chia's family as Renee passed two boxes of snacks to XT.

Little XL had grown a lot since we last met two and a half months ago. She's a tall girl!

The elder sister XT had also grown a lot, picking up a lot of vocabulary and could chit-chat like a little adult. The girls played almost every toys at the "playground" of the Chia and it was so much fun!!

Time flies. The kids had all grown up so quickly. May they enjoy happiness and good health, always!

Long Awaited Meetup

Couldn't remember when was the last time we met up to celebrate each other's birthday because as we grew older, the more we hoped that people won't notice us getting old...

Anyway, since our dear Yuan Yuan had returned to SG for a 10 days vacation from work, we met up this Sunday in conjunction with You-You's Bday to give him a "surprise" with not much surprises... lol... We were really slack but it's the thought that count, we turned up!

Since Yuan and You missed baby Wayne's Fullmonth celebration, I brought baby Wayne along to meet the guys (including his new friend baby Greg)! Luckily he fell asleep so that mummy could enjoy the food!

The babies met and guessed who's giving who a secret kick when mama's not watching? Haha! Gotcha!!!

Oh my, my sausage arm!!!

As usual, these men just loved to take some traditional disturbing pictures. 

This round... They brought their disturbance to a new level, thanks to the advance technology... Could you tell who is who from the following pic?

If this was not disturbing enough? Scroll... And you could easily tell who they were trying to look like in the following pics...

And when Rich-man was away, this super not-right combi was taken, but the baby was just too adorable!!! Smiley little Greg ^^ (disclaimer: this is NOT a family pic)

Really great to meet up with my old old old friends... Special thanks to my dear for chauffeuring me and baby Wayne, took care of the girls at home so that I could take this break. Thank you, my love!

Our Happening Weekend

Friday evening, it was great honor to be invited to my secondary class belle's wedding dinner at St Regis. 

Great place, great food, great company with plenty of nonsenses catchup. Haa!

Congratulations to dear Kristine and her husband! ^^ special thanks to dear for chauffeuring me to and fro the venue, despite being so exhausted from work.

Saturday, even more fun, it's family time! First, we headed to Ubi EuroKars to view the legendary Mazda Biante... Then the kids had like-real car ride, without the need to insert $2 tokens... Haha!! (The red car in pic was Mazda5, only top left was Biante's back seats)

After the free fun at motor showroom, we headed home for the girls to take a nap, so did I. Then it was evening beach out.

It's been a few months of hazy weather and the girls had been asking for going to the beach and playing with sand since the weather turned much better in the past few days. We headed to the beach, finally! So cold, so fun. Thanks to 老天爷 for giving us a cool 1 hour without the drizzle for this long awaited fun at the sand!

My first NY cheesecake

Sunday, a pleasant weather for doing anything today.

While husband was out for a wedding lunch, I invited my long-old pal over to my place.

As the blocks of cheese cream were expiring soon, I was determined to bake cheesecake today. 

So we did it together, using my sis's scrap book recipe. Thanks to sis for baby-sitting Renee so that we could catch up and bake cake tgt!

I forgot to snap a few pics of the making but here's the end product... It kinda 'burst' on the crust because the tray was too small for this recipe... I filled the batter to the brim which was so wrong...

Looks fluffy, bubbly and soft... I hope it's properly cooked thoroughly... Wait till its chilled long enough for tasting... WuhOO! ^^

Oh BTW, Kriz, I wasn't aware that you r not a fan of cheesecake until today.. Oops! We can do something that u actually like the next time... So much fun baking tgt. LOL!!!

(Updated: After chilling this cake overnight, it was finally really to be served... Awfully delicious!!)

Old old friends...

It's been so long since I last met up with this wonderful group of old old friends!

A casual group chat in WA wishing one of the old cows (Ermm... I meant old pal) triggered an invite for a dinner tonight!

So many backlog to catch up... Specially happy for the good news that's approaching for a pretty lady, finally!

Had some good laughs over a not-so-pleasant topic but anyway... Hope that talking abt it help this old cow heal his wound... The best I could do is to offer a listening ear...

My second visit to Prego @Fairmount. The first time to foot my own bill... Ouch! But it's worth the few hours of nice ambience with good food and great companion!

A memorable dinner when the restaurant supported the Earth hour by turning off lights and air-conditional for an hour... The place was lit by white classic candles of all sizes... Absolutely romantic!!

Renee had behaved herself pretty well most of the time and enjoyed every bit of Italiano biscuit and bread served... Love to see her smiley face (meow meow face) when she's content with the munches!!

Oops! Just realized that I didn't take too many photos of the food or the group as we were chatting away and it was pretty dark. Luckily we have a group photo from HS camera... Hohoho ^,^

Special thanks to my sis for joining and help taking care of Renee when she's bored... Wahahaha ~,~

有朋自远方来

不亦乐乎！

在本地的好友我约了几回；都无缘相见。有的甚至不闻不问。。。我便将所有的时间和精力都投入于家人和工作中。

不知不觉，一晃也有几年的时间都没有在周日的'放工时间'后于朋友相约畅谈近况。

昨日，我破天荒有了这么难得的机会，能够赴约，好会一会这位来自邻国的姐姐。真的是不亦乐乎呀！

我们这伙人认识了12年，每隔几年我们都会见面吃顿饭。偶尔也会在网上联系互相慰问。每次见面联络感情都会学到一些有的没的。。。啼笑皆非！

昨日金典，让这位老友用三言两语来描述到过的旅游国家。于是。。。

美国 - 「好山好水好无聊」
台湾 - 「又脏又乱又好玩」

真是个不做Sales会超浪费的爱说话女人！哈哈！有她在总不冷场。

听见大家都在事业上打拼得不错，我也为他们高兴。希望下次见面无须等上4年那么久。。。

祝大家幸福、安康！

Old Friend's Wedding

Finally finally, Yishan is now married to Richmond (Richman)... HoHoHO! Pan Pacific's Pacific ballroom is georgous!!! The dishes are special and nice too (spot Lulu happily having his second serving of "sharkfin-taste-alike")! Such a wonderful and joyful evening! Oh and BTW, Xiao Hei attended!!! Waoh!!!

First visit to Mr & Mrs Hsu's Love Nest

After DONKEY years... we finally resumed the long awaited annual gathering!

Happy to hear that everyone is doing fine! May the force be with all of us...



And Thank you, Dear Dear, for accompanying me to the BBQ session. Hee Hee (^^)

My first visit to Wild Honey and a meet-up with Kriz

There's no reservation at WH, so I queued in order to be seated in the cosy restaurant.

Our orders:

Tunisian - A sizzling pan of red pepper, onion and tomato concise (stew) studded with sliced chorizo sausage and crowned with two fried eggs

Sandwich: Open faced, grilled chicken sandwich with onions, tomatoes and fresh Pommerey mustard mayonnaise

Many Thanks to Kriz, whom I have known since I was seven, for rushing over after work (OT) and treating me to this special dinner. Looking forward to our next meet up, another simple meal, a lunch perhaps... This collage is specially dedicated to you. Cheers!

To be Continued... Breakfast @Hougang

Scorpio sista continued their meet-up this morning...

Wago was greeted by this Garfield when she reached S11...

Scorpio-sista took their breakfast at FF kopitiam... (See pic below)

Headed Hawker for some tau huey and infamous Finger carrot cakes... WuhOO~*

A fun Scorpio Girls Night~*

It's was a countable date during a weekday evening till late night, so countable that we cherish the meet-up...

It's one of the few groups of close pals who is capable of dragging me out on a Thursday evening...

Dinner @Bugis NYDC wasn't fantastic... But we greatly appreciate Nana's treat... It was the get-together and catch-up that count!

Chill out @Bugis MOF? was fantastic... But we would not appreciate their lousy services (which still cost us 10%). Nevertheless, please allow me to repeat... It was the get-together and catch-up that count!



Many Thanks to Rhea for her gift from Norway~* I love choc!!!





Look forward to our TBC (follow-on) episode on Sat morning, 9 AM not 6 (I have to remind myself) See you then, Cheers!

Congratulations, Midget and Giant~*

I know Spencer & Shane are not going to read this... but I just want to wish them a blissful and happy marriage~*

Thank you, dear dear, for attending the special wedding dinner with me... Hope you enjoy yourself that evening as much as I do~* Cheers! (^^)

Das bin ich~*


Das bin Lulu~*


Das bin Huishan und Wago~*
