Officially hooked onto The.Indulge

it was kind of our departmental meeting talking about how we are doing and directions for the next coming year and all and they began giving out awards.

I got the top sales!





it was some lamborgini watch. Men's one. I have no use for it and it doesnt really suit daddy. anyone keen? cheap cheap i sell!

Lavina got the top e-alerts...



Jinfu also got top!



Terence was for his brilliant insurance...



top newbie...



and other awards ....



and top alert performers for last month!




got vouchers! i like! i told my boss next time can all give vouchers? hehe



i'd say these vouchers may be a small gesture but its very encouraging and motivating at such trying times. n we were told our boss fought hard for it for us. customers have a misperception that we get a lot from each time. its an urban myth they believe in.

was supp to meet lisa for dinner. told her i was missing the food at the.indulge and had arranged to meet darren to pass him the bracelet he left with me but somehow lisa kinda insisted on gg over to a cafe at tanglin. but luckily i managed to get darren to join me for dinner. Zixiang and gf cheryl came along too!

i so hooked onto the.indulge's food!

firstly its their chinese salmon sashimi..



thick slices of salmon and avocado. was still good though i prefered how they did it in thick cubes previously.

their garlic mayo prawns with sunflower seeds...



also really good. crunchy textured prawns and the mayo sauce is so tasty.

lobster pasta in cream sauce...



really yummy! the sauce is very tasty and the lobster is a good size.

darren had a chicken chop...



was he liked it a lot. i felt the sauce was pretty good.

for his meal, he tried the chinese soup instead of the pumpkin soup and it was really tasty too!



cheryl had a aglio olio lobster pasta...



while zixiang had a ribeye...



the boys...



the girls.. well technically i can no longer qualify as a girl but cheryl is... still youthful!



trying to be funny when we asked him to take a picture for us...





after dinner, priscilla asked me down to join her for ktv @ amk. there i met Dejing (her potential boyfriend .. haha) and tommy (yanling's bf).

dejing can sing pretty well! the mike system seemed to clash with that very loud disturbing sound so dejing had to hide in one corner when he was singing...



while desmond hid in another corner...



yanling and bf...



tommy...



yanling and me...





us girlies...



priscilla doing a fish!





prissy n me...



the guys requested for a pic together...









thank cute for the ktv session prissy!

Prawny goes prawning!

i've been dying to go prawning! it doesnt help when facebook was saturated with pictures of my different different friend's prawning pictures. the prawns all look so darn good and YUMMY!

was chatting with darren and we managed to secure a prawning session for today! i told him im gg rain or shine, alone or not! ha!

just as i was leaving home, he tried to snook me and say something came up and he's not coming. i was seriously prepared to go on my own! den immediately a second sms came in to say he's just joking. ha!

and the marshmallows i bought for a few weeks finally can come into good use!





we went to the prawning farm @ bishan. we did dinner first. the aunties from the different stalls were really aggressive. both stood there and refused to barge, both persistently wanted to close our deal. haha... but i wasnt very hungry so we just shared a bbq sting ray.



the charges for prawning...



my shi fu!



he actually koes all the techniques and all.

the baits are chicken hearts...



the prawn farm....





his first catch...



me prawning away...





i insist we're not leaving till i catch one!



i was damn lousy la! i didnt catch any at all. end up keep feeding the prawns.

some uncle who left gave darren some special worm baits...



terence came to join us as well and the guys had their strategy talk...





i was quite dishearted and wondered if i would catch any at all so i decided die die pose first..





Priscilla really touched me. I've been pretty down over the weekends.. she happened to know abt it and she's been very concerned. i've been home the whole weekend and when she got to koe dat im heading out today, she specially came down to see me...



with her brother desmond...




helping me to prawn a bit..


they came for a while and left shortly after. thank u priscilla!

uncle adding more prawns into the pond...



more pictures..



prawning kakis!







zixiang came too! wanted a piggy back but forgot! haha






and den.. just as the person came over wanting to say my time is up, as i pulled up the rod, i got my first and only prawn for today!



i DID IT!

the guys ordered chicken wings to share.. yummy~



and beer came into the picture too. beer! i like!



my hao lian teacher...





our reward time!



the prawns are all not very big in size. not like the ones i see in other people's pics. the person in charge said its subjected to days. darren calls these the hay mee prawns. haha



i got to bbq my marshmallows too!











the prawns bbq-ed with only salt....



they are sooooooo damn yummy! so au naturale~!!! super gooD!

initially darren teased and said i can only eat one coz i only caught one! hehe.. but in the end he shared with us!







i like prawning!!! so fun! i wana go again!

Seafoodies October 09 Gathering

i walked past the Baguette today and was really tempted to check it out. When my customer msged to confirm that he will be pretty late, i decided to go ahead.

had one of their vietnamese roll..



its really good. i like how fresh the ingredients feel and how the chilli sauce is sweet.

also had their grilled pork...





a little too sweet for my liking.

today is the seafoodies oct 09 gathering. if it matters to anyone at all, it is kinda our 3 year anniversary.

One day a few months back, i was on facebook and i noted this cupcake series from one of Xinying's albums. It was a underwater series with really cute 3D seafood decorations. I immediately got the name of the bakery and contacted them. It was The Patissier. After some email corresponding, i managed to get them to do this...

















it is meant to be a surprise but due to my unpredictable job nature, i had to arrange for the delivery over to squiddy's office so she kinda knew about it in the noon.

but because her office's fridge could not hold the whole box, i end up collecting it from her office back to my office thru sheer squeezing of time.

dinner was at a steamboat place...







the place does look nice..

the food was quite sucky... totally unfresh. the kind where you see, u dun even koe if u dare to eat n eat already tml will diarrhoea or not kind.

only the cooked food was still ok.. things like sushi...



chicken wings was the nicest of tonight's food. hotdogs were cold.



The steamboat stuff...









the beef actually looked green when flipped. eek!



after the dinner, we proceeded to the ktv place upstairs, distributed the cupcakes....



yes, to me leoie is always a seaweed.

took some pictures...







crab n clam did a prehhh....



i KNOW its an effort to make me feel better. its not dat i dun know but i just dun think that it works if its always abt just trying to not annoy prawny. it cant work if its not what u feel from within.



the results of the prehhh...





































this entry has been very hard to blog hence the procrastination. im glad im post blogging it after so long and some emotions would haf faded.




when jerry asked if i wld catch a movie with him tonight and knowing that the rest are all ready to head back, i agreed and he came to pick me up. he was telling me how he was unwell today and all. he knows how softhearted i can be.

i was telling him to bring along his bear so that i can huggie it for the movie.. he was initially stunned but as we got off, he actually went to smuggle it in his adidas jacket...



haha.. n i thot dat was quite sweet.

his dinner...



the dim sum he made me share...









 we caught the show 500 days of summer. i like the movie quite a bit.

No one takes me seriously

No one takes what i say seriously. No one remembers, no one cares!

and no one takes what they say to me seriously. No one remembers, no one cares!

its ok if its just acquaintances, i probably won't bother to remember what they said either.

But these are people who are called friends. Best friends, close friends. My ass.

Now everyone shall be just called people-i-hang-out-with.

So den its ok if we don't hang out anymore. its ok if you forgot that we are meeting. its ok that you forgot that we were supposed to head somewhere together. its ok if it didnt occur to you that we are a group of friends who should stick together. its ok if it didnt come into your consideration that you should spare a thought for my feelings, my emotions, my benefit, my well being.

Because, we are just people who happen to hang out. AND LIKEWISE, NONE OF YOU WILL MATTER ANYMORE!

My hot date with the little prince charming!

was texting xinying saying that i miss lil prince charming and the kind mother offered a date for sleeping beauty and precious prince charming.

We arranged to meet today and i brought them to my new found love - The.Indulge @ The Cathay.

as soon as i got there, the precious prince charmed worked his charms on me again. He was crawling and playing around and looks as adorable as ever!



see how he greets me?



and den he dian me...











it was.... happily ever after until.....



i guess dats wat scared most of my ex-bfs away...



hahahaha.

more pics of the cute prince charming...





we shared the chinese salmon sashimi....



introduced it to xinying and she loved it too. most importantly, lil prince charming can eat the avocado!

our set meals came with the fried prawns with garlic mayo sauce...



tried alex's the last time n loved it. its big and crunchy and the sunflower seeds gave a very fragrant finishing touch!

pumpkin soup...



again, one of the better pumpkin soup i've tried.

for mains, this time round i had the ribeye that alex had the last time...



done medium rare...



the steak was average. the sauce was not bad.. the mushroom and all. While it was average, i felt dat all in all The.Indulge deserves a lot more popularity den it has now. It was so quiet the last time i was here. Likewise for today. I couldnt help but compare it with the buzzing Astons upstairs. is it the location? coz i dun haf their food any much more expensive den Astons but i find their quality n variety much much better!

xinying had a cream sauce lobster pasta...





it was SO GOOD!

the lobster is not some mini crayfish sized lobster. its a good decent sized lobster!





and the cream sauce was SO GOOD! been awhile since i had such a yummy cream sauced pasta! THUMBS UP! THUMBS UP! THUMBS UP!

i recalled abt the gourmet popcorns counter at the side. i exited for awhile to order a packet of the sourcream one to go and got a free sample pack in for xinying to try...



she agreed its good too!

and for desserts, we went for the avocado smoothie..



couldnt quite taste the avocado. it has a lemonish taste. hmm.. reminded me of the green popsicle with vanilla ice cream dat we used to haf during old school days.

xinying had the chocolate panna cotta with chocolate ice cream...



the panna cotta tasted more like pudding. was ok.

and yeah, this is the gourmet popcorn place....







their sourcream popcorn is SO GOOD! u gotta try it and it comes in very nice packaging! the sample size is so cute!






we sat around for awhile more before doing some shopping at plaza sing.

it was a good date!

The Singha Party @ Sterolab


Carol was telling me about some singha party @ Sterolab which she saw on fb. Apparently its some new club @ Pan Pacific Hotel. The arrangement was to head there first before catching crabby @ Dragonfly.

So anyway, Carol picked me up and we headed over to Sterolab. I was telling her how on fb it stated RSVP is required via email. I tried to RSVP but they said its full but she said her friend insists we can just click 'Will Be Attending'. So anyway, we went. Found our name not on guestlist. Quick thinking on Carol's part still brought us in as the door bitch was flipping the list in front of us. Carol went.. " Roy. Roy is coming later right? " and i went.. " yup! " HAHAHA.. good coordination on my part!

Singha party!



we thot there would be Mac products. turned out to be a $20 vouchers off $100 purchase. The whole party was pretty slow. Don't really like the music @ sterolab.

Carol's friends came down as well.

Carol and one of her close gf Wendy...



Wendy, Dominique and myself...



Kwang and friend also came by for awhile...



Nelson and myself...



Dominique and Carol....





me and Dominique...



Carol and Nelson...




I left around 12 to look for Crabby who den said party @ Dragonfly is gonna shift to Sabai Sabai. Hmm.. not keen! den as i was on my way home.. she texted to say its still gona be at Dragonfly... *yawnz*

Home early for me tonight!

Oktoberfest

very very busy day at work. Mindy asked me to do some voice recording for another video. It feels so damn funny listening to your own voice on recording!

After the busy day at work, i went to meet up with Aaron & Co. for Oktoberfest! I had loads of work to clear so they were already at Paulaners when i got there. the place was packed!



the guys ordered sausages and pork knuckle to share.

the spiral sausage...



which was just alright in my view.

the pork knuckle...



which was not bad but i kinda prefer stammisch's!

we were seated outdoors by the roadside...



some pics of the group. Mainly boys from our college except Steven and his wifey who were Aaron's uni mates in Hawaii...





adrian and kaifeng...



aaron and myself...



aaron just started work. managed to link him up to the right person and i'm happy for him! i really should consider changing my job to be a recruiter. haha.. i really find joy in helping people get a job. maybe its coz i koe how tough it was to find a job... esp so in finding a job you really like. But den again, i really really like my current job! I may complain at times but i love my job!

Steven and wifey..



Aaron was sharing with us that there is this particular song that is usually sang during festivals in germany and i made him teach us the song..



bumped into Lily!



babelicious as ever!

initially we were seated outdoors and feeling quite bored. but at a certain hour, the music started, everyone went indoors where it got ALL HAPPENING! i shall leave the pics to do most of the talking!







these boys are from Munich!





aaron with the babes!



everyone was going Cheers every other 30 seconds or so!



initially when we were sitting outside, a couple of us (including myself) were saying we need to leave earlier coz we gotta work tml.

But when the spirits got high and fun got magnified, Jiawen who also had to work tomorrow, said.. " what is work? "



it was really a BLAST!

earlier when it was super packed, i was standing near a chef trying to wait for a server coz i was dying of thirst and badly needed water. i was prepared to pay like $7 for mineral water. The chef kinda recognised me. He has knocked off and was partying hard with us! He gave me this ultra cute beer barrel hat!









cute right?

but turned out it didnt belong to him or his friend. haha.. belongs to another patron but im happy enuff having the pics! 

it was bottoms up all the way!





the band was singing song after song.. everyone was dancing, singing and cheering along!



feel the spirits!



and they really sang the festive song that aaron taught us earlier!



group pictures of us!



















aaron dancing with a hot germany babe!





and aaron kept urging me to dance with this caucasian guy.. ok. i forgot his name already.. all i rem is dat he told me he lives in singapore too and stays around eunos.



the chef was actually really nice.. offering us some dishes of food. a picture with him



Oktoberfest was a BLAST! Big blast! Would love to head back again next year!

its not good that im post post post blogging this. all that hype i felt is long gone. But it was really, A BLAST!
