Met up with Elaine one of the weekdays last week for lunch. Miss her so much after she left my coy. but is a wise choice for her. At least she has moved on to a better working environment =).

Last Fri was Renyce's birthday. Went for her mini party at The Garden @ Bishan and had a great time with her.
"Cousin Karin & Renyce. Hot Mum & Sweet Daughter"
"Isnt she cute?!! So proud to have such a sweet niece"
Bought the tickets from Han Travel @ AMK, just outside the MRT where they set up boards and signages to sell their Zoo package. We paid $32/pax, including free trspt to Night Safari, Entrance fee and Tram ride.
Haha..this was the most expensive ticket we ever bought. $128 for a piece of paper and initial. The boss did not have enough tickets to issue due to the good sales. Afraid that we would walk off without proper receipt, he guaranteed us that we would surely get our tickets as long as we produced the slip with his big signature there.
^^Waiting patiently for the mini van to arrive^^ 
^^Finally got the slip of paper exchanged to tickets. Spot the difference dude^^
^^ In the mini van^^
Finally reached and managed to catch a glimpse of the fire dancing performance outside the Chang restaurant & bar.
We proceeded with the Tram ride.. such a long long queue. It really surprised us with so many people around. The S-queue was long but lucky it was cleared pretty fast. Seems like night safari is attracting lottas of tourists.
^^Looking through the map during the wait... ^^
^^On the tram.. there we go..^^
The ride was smooth. We stopped by for some walking trails which cannot be reached by tram. Walked through the Leopard trail and Bat Mangrove. My sis had a great time enjoying the Bat Mangrove..Luff our ass out. She had been looking forward to meeting 'Batman' and ended up been scared by them throughout the Mangrove walk. The best part of the walk was that we chanced upon the otters mating. They are so cute and makes one happy to see them running and playing around. After the walk, we boarded on the tram smoothly (Was really smooth cuz that Leopard trail station usually had lottas pple waiting and the coming tram was usually too full to take on more pple).
The 45 min tram ride ended so fast (dunch think gt 45min). If we werent to alight for a walk on our own, we would feel so cheated. Managed to arrive at the start point in time for the last animal show..that's y we kept emphasing on how smooth it was. All the timing was just nice on the dot. Lucky day.
There's nothing much abt the show...but the Indian trainer/speaker is great. She is good at making fun of the audience and made us luff a lot. The best performer award should go to her instead of the animals..lol. Afterwhich, our vanity started to surface again..took lots of pics..
^^ We were messin out the toys at the souvenir shop. Lolx^^
^^Ah Meng & I^^
^^Lets go hunting^^
^^ The crocodile hunters^^
^^Hey Alvin, where's the 20bucks reward you promised if my sis can pull off a stunt like this!!!?? LoLz^^
^^Not forgetting the best picture of the day. Vic muz be feeling HOT ..haha..so funny. Alvin should reward Vic $50 for this. Big sacrifice..muahah^^
^^And we looked drained after all these..time to go home...^^
Played mj till wee hrs again...only managed to get up in time to go for a free make over session at Wisma Atrium on Sat. It is a privilge for Citibank card members who had spent a substantial amt at Wisma during this promo period. That's how I get this entitlement =)
^^Accompanied by Cousin Huai Huai & Sis..I looked shagged^^
^^ Is definitely a long wait...^^
Free make over doesnt turn out to be that good... not so professional and they made me look like a Malay =~~(. The make-up base was too dark and my eye make-up was so heavy. Almost dozed off when making over. All the excitment had gone due to my lack of sleep. Thinking of going to night safari later with this make up simply turned me off. Maybe cuz I hadnt been putting up make up for a long time..so not used to it.
^^Browsing thru DKNY watches^^
After much discussion, we decided to carry on with our night safari trip....
Thanks to our COO for all these interesting emails update. It is indeed eye-opening =))
^^This is from Denmark^^
^^Chilled it??????^^
^^Hum Bao Bao^^
^^Gross..(-_-)'''^^
Will continue to update on the interesting mails received.
Finally met up with Veron and together with CK, we had our dinner at Shokudo on Wed. Yah is Jap food again!!! As usual, there will always be a queue (if u refer to my previous entry..u will know how bloody long the queue is) but luckily not that long compared to weekend. Looking forward to this dinner cuz pple ard me have been singing praises abt Shokudo...yumz yumz.
This Marche-Jap concept store attracts mainly PMEBs and family crowd. Took a walk around the whole restaurant..there are many sittings (over 100s) but all fully occupied, interior design is simple, food smells great and alluring.
We tried omelette (bacon & cheese), salmon sashimi, ebi pizza, tepanyaki, desserts. Of all the dishes, desserts scored the highest point. The rest sucks...esp. the Tepanyaki. Jap pizza is only special for their super thin crust but quality so-so. Sashimi is the worst, any Jap restaurant can serve better sashimi.
1 word. ...disappointing. The only attractive point is the wide variety of food but the quality is doubtful. Shokudo is only selling concept not food. Even the ambience is no good..noisy ..furthermore gt children playground which makes it more like a market place. Or I should say an upscale hawker centre.
^^That's CK..kept getting into my way when I was taking photo^^
^^Finally made his presence felt...^^
^^Tepanyaki chef looks cheena^^
^^ Pizzas on display...poor garnishing, 没料^^
^^ Choc Banana Crepe...Poor presentation but tastes fine^^
^^ Red Bean Mochi..Superb!! Sweetness is just nice^^
I am a super fastfood & Jap food lover...friends who know me, read this blog..will be nodding their heads in disapproval. Ask my dearest ex-colleagues..the big 'M' is my good friend. Every lunch break, I would ask them if they would like something fast or slow and they would end up compromising with my cravings. If we were to meet up for shopping or just simply for dinner, I would definitely suggest Jap food. (what's new huh?!! Lolz)
I am hooked on this unhealthy diet unknowingly. I can patronise the fast food outlets 4 times a week. MCDONALD, MOS Burger, BK, Long John and even PASTAMANIA..n continually eating the same food over n over again within the week. Think my digestive sys gonna break dwn soon.Last week, I ate Jap foodx4 almost in a row. I had Waraku on Tue, Ichiban on Wed, Yoshinoya (semi jap-fast food) on Thu & Sushi Tei on Sat. The week before that, I had fast food x?? in a week. Long John on Tue, Long John on Wed, Cavana on Thu..MOS on Sat and MCDonald for supper. (*sweatz)Today's lunch was kicked off with McSpicy meal..Keeping my fingers crossed that the next few days wont be fast food else will suffer from carbo-overdosal ..geez..Met up with CK yesterday for dinner @ Marina Square Waraku. It was my 1st time trying out Waraku... they serve many different types of ala-carte dishes. Too many to choose from ..in the end we only ordered 3 ala carte and ramen/soba as our main. (Thank u CK for the treat!)
Waraku's pricing is comparable with Sushi Tei but the food served at both places varies. Both are equally premium, as mentioned, Waraku has more ala-carte dishes like hotplate kinda and Sushi Tei serves more rice and sushi based food.
My most preferred restaurant for Jap food is still Sushi Tei =)) If you are planning to eat there, you should try their 2-thumbs-up dishes --> Deep fried squid (It melts in ya mouth), Golden Roll ( Mango & Lobster is a finger-linking gd combi) & Salmon Belly Sushi.
After the dinner, we proceeded to Gloria Jean's..This is again my 1st time trying out the coffee there. We ordered 2 Latte Mocha & a Oreo Cheese cake (Cheese CAke @1/2 price after 6pm). The cheese cake is yummy. But the coffee was so-so. I would still prefers coffee bean & coffee club.
We yada-yada until 10pm... waiting for dear Veron to join us for our next meeting. Veron flew us kite yesterday due to her work commitment. Btw Veron..I still mistaken CK for his age..always tot he is 1 year older than his current age.Remember last year we mistook him for 27 when he is only 26. I did it again. Luff. In the midst of our conversation, I was saying ' ..but you are 28 this year rites..' then CK shot me a duh look. And keep defending that he is only 27 niahz. hahahaha...Oh..Forget to introduce..Veron & CK are my ex-part time colleagues turned friends. Lolz..amazing huh..we only worked together once or twice at some food fair/road show during our tietiary studies and we are keeping in touch till now. Geez...
Coming towards Mid of the year, I think is time to start digging out all my friend list and planning for more meet-ups ahead.
