★Sugar, Spice and everything Nice!★

Nothing really special to blog but today, I was especially elated after I received a phonecall.


Last week was really rough for me, I felt as if there is no such thing as loyalty anymore. Nor dignity and pride.

Being positive was the only way I could do, to keep me feeling hopeful about every little thing. My family, bf and friends are most encouraging, always standing by my side and I am just so fortunate to have them.


Love is what keeps me alive. (:

Mandatory trip to Chinatown every CNY.

But I really enjoyed the festive feeling being there, tho it was still omfg crowded on a Wednesday.



We ate at this small shop selling shanghainese food, the walls were plastered with photos of random people. Not cheap tho there wasn't any GST or service charge.



They served us pickles and towels but we refused them knowing that it will cost us money lol.



XLBSSSS!



Quite worth it, those juicy and meaty XLBs. =D~



Waxed pig's leg anyone?



Waxed a whole lot of other stuff here.







CNY fruits.









Cute baby infront of us.



Street decors.


:)

We kept looking out for mochis! That was our goal in mind.



Lots to choose from. Srsly I ate so many mochis I felt sick.  T_T



I felt like I never wanna eat a mochi again.. but tomorrow I just might change my mind.



Year of the Tiger.

More last minute shopping to be done FML.

Hate last minute shopping, so hard to find something I like!!

Prawning with DMD gaiz was fun!

Caught 1.5kg of prawns which was a 0.5kg improvement from the previous time we went prawning. =D


~ two little doggies playfully biting each other, so kyut.








~ kt and emily


~ bf and me


~ marc, gh, geoff and yq

We settled down rather quickly but waited for about 1/2hr till our first catch.

Prawning is really all about waiting and grabbing the opportunity when the prawn bites the bait, sometimes we just yabber too much till the prawn gets away and we're left with just an empty hook.

-__-


~ KT with his first catch of the day


~ yq just chilling out and playing with his ds


~ a very bored bf


~ so am I


~ GH with his first catch, pretty impressive cos he managed to catch a few more after that.




~ And Samp the prawning expert/champion

Always ends up with the most amount of prawns and biggest catch of the day lol.


~ veh cute sleepy dog

After prawning we went to the same cze char place as before to get it cooked.


~ fried kangkong, bbq chix


~ our awesome catch of the day

CEREAL PRAWNS FTW!

Mmm fried cereal prawns just taste so omfg addictive. Can't stop at one!



Haha this auntie selling bbq chicken wings called GH a "shuai ge". LOL we kept making fun of him and the auntie after that.

Today me and bf had quite a busy Sunday, going for MJ session at Roger's house then turning up at Pasir ris for spinning.  The weekend is almost gone.. but I'm glad. I had a really lovely weekend and I felt like I deserved it. (:

Fri night was Sven Vath at Zouk, haven't been to clubbing in ages! Almost 2months.

The music was so-so, didn't really like the overall repetitive beats, so bleh.

My camera seems to be spoiling, sigh. ):

After almost 4years of using it. Most of my pics turned out so blur, and I personally hate blur pictures but if I don't upload those there arn't any pics much to post afterall. T_T


~ me and manda

=D


~ kel and fit up to no good..again



I likey this pic of myself but my boobs are teh spilling so must cover with a flower lol wtf.


~ vivy and wenrui


~ on the dancefloor


~ i duno wad kel is doing -_-













And that was it.

Felt nice to get high from all that booze after a hiatus of not clubbing but at the same time, could feel that age is catching up cos I was freaking tired at 2am wtf just wanna go to bed.

Imma goin bed nao nites.

Oooops supposed to blog earlier but was busy erm surfing on how to video myself using a webcam until I forgot and nao its 12am wtf!! So last minute. >_>

On the last day of the Phuket trip, me and Val finally made it to the Patong beach!

And no regrets whatsoever, it was beautiful.

Ok lah beautiful to me, coz there was white sandy beach and clear blue waters - not like SG beaches like shit lidat, can see rubbish floating in the sea and its so dirty cannot see your feet when you step into the water.

Buffet breakfast again!! We woke up like 8.30 just to eat it lol.


~ pancakes with strawberry jam and maple syrup


~ and bacon, fried rice and sausage (again)


~ plus cereal and yogurt, which IMO don't go well together.


~ hungry cat waiting for food


~ xiao ma and val


~ ame and ph


~ love street shots with the daytime shadows


~ we walked to the beach which was like 10minutes away

And ame wants her "YEAH"!

The coconuts are damn cold, refreshing and sweet! Supa lovely on a damn hot day.



If you noticed, the skies are soo blue in every single shot of my photo.

And there wasn't a speck of cloud in the sky. Which meant it was FUCKING HOT.

Burning.



Omg I love the soft sandy beaches beneath my feet!


~ Deck chairs to lie on which we took 2, 100baht each.

Nothing is free ok. =/


~ Val and me (:

I think usually I don't go to the beach so there are very few pictures of me in swimwear/beach wear. So I was shy when I have to show my fats in bikini but what the heck, I go to the beach like once a year or every 2 years once wtf.


~ got many many ang mohs suntanning


~ ame and her yeah!! (coconut in chinese)



Like Miami beach feel.



This was a natural shot I didn't pose or anything, was about to enter the sea. -_- Walao and my calves got muscles gross la.



The sun was shining into our eyes, very hard to open them lol.



Me: "Val the water veh cold la! I dowan to get my hair wet! *whines"

Val: "...."





Very nice, I liked the feeling there. Its different from being on a beach in SG really.


~ xiao ma flexing his muscles to show val he can protect her


~ selling sundresses to a sunbathing tourist


~ ame and me laid on the deckchairs which I played my iphone tunes to while xiao ma and val were swimming in the sea.

Then after awhile she fell asleep lol.

Sleep until veh shiok.


~ me and yeahhh

Slurps~



We walked back to the resort and took a bath and went for lunch outside.



Feeling fresh and ready to hit the streets!





LOLL. All their menus in Phuket, the french fries will always be spelt as French Fried. Damn funny.


~ ame and joyce


~ sy and me


~ my Fanta orange - love the bottle


~ big juicy onion rings


~ superb tomyum soup

Shared this with ame. SHIOK man. Enough spicyness and sourness to get me high and addicted to it.

Miss this so much T______T.

Luckily I found a place in SG which sells good Thai food comparable to the authentic one.

All the tomyum soups in food courts SUCKS.




~ awesome padthai

Yummy QQ noodles, I look at this I can drool already.


~ Ame with her pizza

Ame's stomach is as bottomless as mine, to be able to stuff that down and a whole lotta other things which we shared.

^5!!


~ SY's fried beans and chicken dish

Tasted so niceee too.

After that we went for a walk around then went for a very nice and soothing 1hr long oil massage.

Though I felt like a piece of roti prata after the whole process, cos I was literally dripping oil as I walk lol. Okay not that bad but my whole body was oily and it felt like I was cooking in the hot sun, so me and joyce took a really quick 5min shower at the poolside cos we were supposed to gather at 12pm to check out.


~ Group pic (minus ervin cos the photographer sucks balls duno how to take a proper group shot)

Back to the airport we went - which took close to an hour or so.

I saw Dunkin Donuts and I went krazy. I know I know, SG has it. But I cannot go crazy isit?!







Heh I bought a few donuts and shared with the girls.


~ interior of the airport


~ checking in


~ adri last min packing


~ joyce deciding what to eat

I ate the donuts at the airport like 1hr after our heavy lunch.

Then after eating the donuts we checked in, I proceeded to eat a piece of chicken thigh and a packet of french fries. -_-

Everyone said I damn glutton but I didn't care lol.

Think I spent more money on food than shopping this trip, but the food was kickass awesome and worth the money and calories!





Last few pics before we took off, and it was about 8plus when the plane finally did took off.

Phuket really lead me to believe that in Thailand, everything is cheap and good.

It was a good chilled-out trip for me and I enjoyed myself with the girlies, everything was so relaxed. I love my room mate val, which we got along very well. No quarrels or arguments, just lotsa talk, tv and laughter.

Can't wait for my next trip, which will be to Hongkong. (:

Its late and I just dota-ed and lost again like wtf, 3 months in a row. *inhales

Am not gonna elaborate on unhappy stuff.

Neways, if I don't post my Phuket trip pics nao they will prolly all get dusty soon so this is Day 2 of the trip which I wanted to blog together with Day 3 but ah.. too many pictures to upload oredi!



~ my platter of buffet breakfast

Consisted of sausages, bacon, ham and veg omelette, toast and butter and fried rice. Plus a glass of orange juice.

Its almost worth it to just crawl outta bed at 9am for breakfast on a holiday lol.

~ early rise-n-shiners

Just for breakfast yeah.


~ the buffet table

After a sumptuous breakfast, our itinerary for the day was to shop and relax!

But actually ah shopping is damn tiring lol.



Was itching to take street pics, and of course camwhore. (:



~ val and me

The weather was super hot at Phuket!

We look fresh here now, but awhile later you will see us as pathetic as a couple of old dogs.


~ sufen, tingting and joyce

Joyce is super kua zhang one, can wear jacket, shorts, tights and a cap everyday if she goes out in the sun.

I see her I feel like perspiring already.



Along the streets of phuket.









Can't remember what they were taking a shot of.





Simi lan island??



Yellow tuk tuk which really got my attention.






~ me and ame


~ bumped into sarah and huiting who were shopping



Over-exposed picture of me.

I coerced the girls to have some lovely street food, which is really to me like roadside-chye-fan.

Deliciouss.


~ some chicken and bamboo curry, veg omelette, chilli minced meat


~ and a plate of cool refreshing sliced cucumbers and green beans to quench the spiciness



Val loved all the spicy dishes, eh its damn spicy I really can't take the curry.

2 spoonfuls of it and I was already gulping whole mouthfuls of water and choking.

Weak I know. T_T



Then roger and peihui came back from their Hard Rock Cafe shopping spree to come and join us. Really HARDCORE lor they all. Spent $300++ sing dollars on their purchases wtf.



Lol roger doesn't want to take a proper shot, he drank the iced water and gave a very happy "ahhhh" look which was this.



Everyone enjoyed the street food, it was simple but nice and really home-made food by an auntie so I felt that its like eating at a Thai's house or something wtf.



More street shots.



Its the ice cream man!!

Super happy cos we were like melting.



I wan choc and I got it.



With peanuts on top and glutinous rice below. o_O

Does it tasted good?




HELL YEAH! Choc ice cream went pretty well with glutinous rice I must say.

The peanuts are roasted ones, damn fucking awesome.

Cost = $2

Cost of happiness when eating the ice cream = Priceless



HAHAHA Willy massage.

How blatant!



Very happy girlies.



Sawadeekap Mcdonalds!



We went some mall which was about 15-20 minute walk from our resort.

Then Tingting went shopping while me and val just waited and waited for her as we were thoroughly exhausted.

Did nothing so we camwhored.









On the way back I took a few more street shots..



One of my fav was this. =)



An Alien on display.



I LOVE meiji yakult. Tasted the same but it says 0% fat so I love!



Mango sticky rice stall.





Yummy, was better than the ones I had in Bangkok.

I gather cos this was freshly sliced and cut and the rice was still soft and warm with the coconut milk. It was really good tho I don't really like MSR.

Then we went for a massage after a super tiring shopping day.





Auntie with the menu.


~ Val "eh how to wear this?!?"

Lol we had to wear this super big and long white pants like karate, for the Thai massage.

Liddis:

1 hour later.


~ A refreshed val with complimentary tea


~ and me whom look like I just woke up lol



Nice kitty.




~ The massage palour from outside

Very nice and clean. No special service nonsense.

We bumped into SY and Ame who did massage and manicure+pedicure.


~ the happy couple


~ with their pretty happy feet

Dinner was with the rest of the company and during the dinner my cam ran out of battery so I only took a few measly shots. -_-



I curled my hair for dinner, tried to look glam and gorgeous but somehow I just look.. old? =/



Had dinner at this exotically-decorated restaurant called Tarzan.


~ ame, sy and ht

And thats all!

For Day 2. Yay nitess finally can go bed like omfg its 1.30am!

Returned back from Phuket a couple of days ago, and tho the trip was utterly le chillz, when I came back its like rushing work all the way FML.

Didn't expect much for the trip, just wanted to get away from work and just let myself be relaxed for awhile with my colleagues.

Pictures all uploaded to FB but for blog's sake will post some here.

Borrowed my bro's Canon cam which is awesome, I am beginning to love DSLRs.

Love the sound of the shutter clicking away and lens zooming abilities.

Boyfriend is sweet, sent me off to the airport and we had breakfast together at Ya kun, not exactly my fav place to eat but still serves a pretty nice traditional breakfast which I enjoy once in awhile.




~ half-boiled eggs are awesome stuff


~ the bf (:

'
~ I don't think choc and bread goes well together but apparently my bf loved it. o_o


~ a pic of us before going through the departure gate

I love SG airport, especially when I'm leaving it lol. Not when I am expecting the arrival of someone or seeing someone off, the feeling is too sad/worried.

While waiting for the plane, I took some more shots of my colleagues who went with me on the trip!


~ our plane, Silkair airlines btw. me first time flying in it!


~ adri and her much-loved iphone


~ the girls






Boarded the plane and after took off, we had lunch! Dammit and my breakfast wasn't really digested yet but I still managed to finish up my lunch.. hur.


~ mashed potatos and chicken

Looks disgusting but tasted surprisingly good.

And then 1 and a half hour later we arrive at Phuket!!


~ outside the airport


~ rather blue theme of clothes choices lol


~ val and roger




~ us boarding the coach to bring us to the resort


~ annoying tourguide


~ cam whoring on the bus hehe

And then we reached Patong Bayshore Resort:


~ resort lobby




~ a very nice little chilled resort


~ adri posing infront of the pool







Love coconut trees and beautiful flowers, makes me feel like I'm really in an exotic island can!

Oh and I shared a room with Val, totally love our room and its view. Tho the beds are a little hard but it is sleep-able in.





=D nice!


~ me testing the bed

Our view from the room was this:


~ the swimming pool!

Its damn shiok cos the rest of the people got lousy views, eg: a whole tree, a barren wasteland.

Can't wait to go out and explore so we freshened up abit and went out to the streets for a stroll before dinnertime.


~ happy val


~ patong streets


~ zhangyu and xiaoma bought cigs straightaway when they arrived and proceeded to smoke

Dinner was at this place called Cocoa-Nut:



Its like a seafood cze char place. Generally very clean and not extremely pricey.


~ james looking at the menu




~ fresh selection of seafood




~ adri and her weird antics


~ all fungry-looking




~ 2 girls and a coconut hahaha


~ fried curry prawn cakes

THIS. IS. OMFG. GOOD!!! Makes me drool when I look at this picture.


~ we wanted to order fried kangkong but all they've got was fried morning glory and so we ordered it and got.. guess what?

FRIED KANG KONG.

Just weird.


~ tom yum fish soup

Not fantastic, was pretty disappointed on the first day cos of this. But it made me even more determined to find an awesome tom yum goong.


~ fried fish so-so



Everyone is full and satisfied. =D

Took some more street night shots but it wasn't fantastic.






~ oh some weird shop displaying aliens vs predator life-sized metal figures


~ and ironman too!

But the very next day the shop displayed other stuff already.

We girls went out for a drink later in the night, which was actually just by the beach instead of a rowdy pub full of lechers and hookers lol.


~ love this pic


~ joyce getting ready


~ roadside vendors






~ many pubs and bars with open concept of pole dancer girls to attract customers i guess

There were alot of men and women touting tourists for "Gogo" shows and "Sexy" shows which were actually tiger shows in disguise lol.


~ we found a nice spot by the beach to chill with our drinks..




~ mini smirnoff


~ girly chit chat


~ val and me





The feeling of being in Phuket was like being in Bangkok again, with a different bunch of people.

Familiar sights and smells greeted me as I strolled through the streets, and I loved it.


That was it for Day 1 of Phuket trip..

More to be continued of cos. (:

So.

Short post only as the bf is being anal about me staying up late. o_o!



Went Hougang for dinner at this quaint cozy Thai restaurant and I mus say, the food is fab!

Best tomyum soup I've had in SG.  (:

Gotta go back for more! After I recover I guess.

K nai nai!

I feel like my nose is about to drop off now at the rate of it leaking like a broken tap and me rubbing it vigorously with wads of tissue. I'm glad my fever is gone but having cough and flu just sucks as badly urghh.

Sat was fun! But I was tired coz I spent Fri night torchlighting lol.

We went ktv-ing at this damn cheap place called Teo Heng at Katong shopping mall. 6 bucks for 6hrs!! Fucking cheap lor, never encountered such cheap ktv session.

I likes the food there.


~ repeat orders of pork slices


~ the other guys eating


~ bf busy eating


~ emily and her prawn-egg soup lol

We had quite an enjoyable time eating there, cept for the fact that the place was packed and under-staffed. But the food was still fresh and really quite OK.

Random failed shots that are taken by me and my kerlicks.


~ I look so fat here T_T. Me and Val with our new glasses.


~ SY, still quite a blur shot


~ ame, sorry I cannot take nais shot of you. *shifty-eyed
