I bought a pair of black velvet heels for $19.90 from Century Square to go with some of the dresses I have. It's a very nice pair of heels that's very flattering to wear with BUT, my poor feet don't really suit pointed tip heels of ANY kind and even though this pair lasted really long on my feet w/o much pain but after many hours of walking, my feet is crying in pain man.

Conclusion: can only wear for max of 3 - 4 hours.



I walked and walked and walked in these and wah lau. wanna die. hahahaha but! it's not as bad as when i was wearing my white hush puppies strapped heels. that one, the heel super high, my feet, pain like HELL. like.. almost tempted to just take out my heels and walk barefooted. I is damn stupid also actually, shld've known not to wear that if I'm going to walk loads.

Kelv kor's gonna go INDIA again for NS. another round of curry. But he did promise to cook for mwe before he flies off hehehehe something to do with chicken so I'm gonna standby my camera to take lotsa shots! talkin about camera, I lent my digicam to burger (wilson's friend) cos he's going for S.H.E concert. hope it's safe n sound my dear camera!!! and when he returns it to me to upload the pics I can get a sneak peak lol

ok and I digress. back to kelv. what about kelv? oh yea, and he also promised to bring us to try out some makan places when he's back and I'll bring him to International Plaza to try the korean food soon. *wide grin* ok i need to diet lar!

i brought kelv to makan botakjones on sat. actually is jio him join me n gu cos the two of us wanted to makan there.

besides our main dishes, i ordered Jalapeno Chilli stuffed with Cheese for Wilson to try!
$6 bucks man! wah lau. the seeds were removed so I guess that tones down the spiciness by alot and wilson is mad lah. say not hot. to me, mildy spicy. but it's not the kind of spicy u'll get from eating our normal red chilli. this one is a tad more pepperish but oh god the cheese....

...and I was saying THE CHEESE....!



just take a look inside! white portion is cheese, a tad greenish stuff on the lower part is the chilli.
kor say it's not easy to get these from random markets. must look ard. he was mentioning jason's market or something. the cheese was really soft and nice.. and sticky-ish. i like.

oh yea before we head out to kelv kor i actually took a shot of our carpark's fat cat. this time, we threw in gu's feet for comparison.



funny thing is, it meowed at us then came over to headbutt our legs again before... plopping down on the ground like that.

we got an uncle here who always takes care of fat cat and feeds it. then we notice how everytime fat cat gets too dirty like... not so white, it'll MIA a few days and return all sparkly white!!! we suspect...the uncle bring fat cat home to bathe.

must be!!!

but damn funny to think about.

i'm bidding my time to find the chance to take more pics of the cats in my neighbourhood. there's a chocolate coated munchkin at the kopitiam there. it's very cute n fat. choc fur but white paws and chest and uber short frontlegs.

so far always too many ah pek there so... yes i must bid my time for the right moment.

i've actually managed to achieve some of the items i placed on my 2007 wishlist!

..i'm gonna get my terry goodkind books today!
..I got FMA the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa!

more to come more to come!

i went shopping 2 days straight and i still cant find ANYTHING i like.

my colleague got married yday and i went for her wedding dinner at
Chef Chan's Restaurant (click name for link) yesterday in the afternoon. it's an afternoon banquet. The restaurant is located in Odeon Tower. In between CHIJMES and Bras Basah Complex. The food is not bad and the interior decor of the restaurant takes up a very traditional air. The menu is slightly different from the usual (at least no ee-noodles or wadever).

We had shark's fin, prawns, roasted chicken this is very good, steamed sea-bass i don't eat fish so i don't know if this is good, mushrooms with vegetables, glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leave can't really taste the lotus leave as well as the ones i had in tea chapter, glutinous rice balls which was super soft and once you bite into it, it almost melts away!, and century egg puff which was the chef's specialty but i don't like century egg so wilson ate it all up instead.


all ready to go

most of my colleagues came and i was seated with the group of colleagues whom i'm comfortable with so the dining experience was fairly enjoyable. but i think one bad thing about having a wedding banquet in the afternoon is there's almost this lack of closure. like after the last dish is served people started leaving and you almost don't notice it's time to go. unlike when dinner is at night, it drags on for quite a while and you feel the ceremony ending when it does end. there was this little hiccup earlier on when i arrived and there was no one in the reception area to take names or the red packets wadsoever so there was this confused mob including myself standing around for quite awhile before knowing what's going on.

i liked the decor but there was the down points as well. the waiter/waitresses don't really check on the cups of the guest to refill drinks. we either had to self-serve or call for them before we get our cups refilled. some of the plates n chopsticks wasn't clean and had stuff stucked!! my HR mgr was like QC-ing all our plates n chopsticks and cups after she found stuff on hers. lol

i overhead them saying that the restaurant might be closed down soon cos the Chef's retiring?? not sure how true this is but kelv kor say he'll still do private functions. heh

the last time checked, kelv hasn't updated his blog yet about our makan trip at botakjones (he said he will) so i'll check another time and post a link here when he does.

Wish List 2007

• The other 9 Terry Goodkind books.
• Thumbdrive
• Graphic Pen
• Try out Stone Grill restaurant
• Go Hong Kong/Taiwan
• Make a beaded necklace for myself
• Make soup for gu (lotus seed soup)
• DVD Drive
• FMA the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa
• finally develop my photos... like few hundred of them..

Been a really long time since I've last blogged man.. things to talk about are starting to pile up with all those photos to share. think can't drag it any longer =__="

My back muscles are slightly aching from the work out (or rather, lack of it) at bedok's gym with gu. woke up pretty early in the morning to get there but once i was there i'm abit stunned by -

first - the crowd,
and second - all the beefy guys (eee...)

i don't really erm.. fancy guys with over-developed muscles. looks very unproportionate. O_o

been eating a lot lately especially korean food haha just last friday I've met up with my ex-colleague and a colleague to go try out the korean restaurant located in International Plaza (nxt to Tanjong Pagar mrt stn) and it was good!!! actually three of us reached earlier but the 4 makan-steer was late so we walked around but seriously other that the super exaggeratingly long corridor with 10 lifts (i'm serious!) there's nothing much to see. it's a very old building with rather auntie shops BUT, there's gramaphone haha so that's where we stayed to kill time. when we were outside the restaurant there's only one group of customers inside and the staff wasn't able to converse in english (cos from china). lady boss was korean of course. we were led to a private room (woo!) and sat there while flipped the menu pages around excitedly. LC quite kanchiong (i bullshit la) cos she keep poking menu while ordering frm the staff LOL think the staff very stressed le. we took quite awhile to order cos there's quite alot of selection... only thing is that it's pretty pricey We order quite little but the serving is quite a lot so we were all pretty stuffed. We had korean rice cakes (damn chewy) and steamboat (with ramyeon in a big bowl of soup, 6 side dishes and rice for each and every one of us!)

i like my stuff hot and spicy so when i tasted the soup i was like "wooooooo.." hahahaha then when i had the rice cake i "woooooooo.."-ed again lol and so my colleagues were all asking me if it tasted good and all i did was woo and asked them to try. the kimchi was quite a killer. much stronger tasting that the normal kimchi i've tasted in terms of sourness and spiciness but it was good.



gu was the first one to throw in the towel and surrender. there's too much food and we were seriously stuffed.

but it was good food lah. we spent around $66+ in total so that's around $16.50 per pax. decent enough for restaurant lah i guess.

oh yea, one note, we used wooden chopsticks instead of the typical metal and flat one. i thought that was kinda weird although we did use the metal spoon with a longer handle like we would commonly see on korean dramas.

actually just couple of nights ago wilson won a soccer bet and had to treat me n CL chicken wings + teh peng... HE LOST AGAIN AHAHAHAHHAHA so now we won yet another round of chicken wing + teh pengs. life's good man. *smirks*

i've bought a beaded jewellery making book lately and was trying out one of the designs.



...and tada...!



actually it was pretty fun to make. think i'll try the other designs soon..erm.. after i get a fatter paycheck.

oh well for the new year i DID accomplish some stuff.

1. i finally bought a decent compartmentalized box to keep my jewellery parts.
2. i finally washed my hamster tank after 2 weeks (they stink like hell).
3. i finally brought feng to botak jones and i think she loves it!

What intend to do is...

bring kelv kor to try the tanjong pagar korean food!
cos he's so sweet he said he was gonna cook for me n wilson over this weekend!

i had a CNY dinner with my aunt earlier last week along with my other cousins. i'm mildly surprised that they don't know any dialects at all. not even cantonese cos that's the most common language spoken in the family although our family's dialect is hainanese. we had the dinner in crystal jade and OMG i think the bill was like SGD400!? depending on the size of bryan's eyeball when he peeked at the bill.

his eyeballs were pretty big at that time.

I also did realised that since i have telepark pass... i can get 10% discount from subway woo!!

hehehehe

last but not the least....

i'm sooooooooo excited abt pam's wedding dinner in jan and jamesy's in feb!
