Oh right, my #1 has finally touch down our sunny island.
She is white, medium size, double flap, caviar and pretty much pumped up with just my wallet, car key and cellphone.
But. She is soft, so soft that i can hug her to sleep every nite!
 

If ur reading this, Chuz, this is for u.
Its been aeons since we met up. (Please dun kill me lah!)
So last tues, the 2 happily married women finally managed to find time to bitch over a cup of coffee.



Thanks for the treat at Ma Maison, galfriend!


And i just couldnt resist this chiffon dress from Bysi; 15% courtesy off Chuz's member card! Good deal

The short trip in June turns out to be 5 days in Hong Kong! Dancing around like a mad woman.
I love HK for the food, the shopping and the food. Did i already mention food?
Maybe u know, maybe u dun.
Hong Kong holds a very important place in our hearts for its the first place we travel to as a couple.
Something like when i was 21 and he was 23; when disneyland has yet to set her feet on the land.
Now isnt that sweet? laugh

This will be my 5th trip to hk, (if im going that is.) And i was so looking forward to the trip till the swine flu attacks.
I was in HK with Chuz when SARS broke out years ago, and we were thankful we were safe, especially when the particular hotel is just around the corner from where we were staying.

The HB has a friend who has this small rental apartment in Kowloon and i was looking forward to staying in a real HK apartment. Not that Royal Pacific isnt terrific. (Grand Tower was our all time fav till it creased operation and RP became our top pick.)
Annnd, we wont be spending tons as we are thinking of flying with Jetstar instead of the usual Cathay.
Oh come on, it will be SUCH an experience; flying budget, staying at a local apartment, you know the works?
With the economy downturn, this will be the perfect time. So logically this will be a really no frills trip!

Poo, or maybe i should just change my cell phone.
 

We were out rather early today; even before we had breakie.
Well, coz Zuo Qi's shoe shop at the Iluma is having her soft opening.
Nothing else will be able to drag me out of bed at such indecent hours anyway.
The place is still undergoing minor renovation when we arrived.
Even the mall's carpark is not ready for operation yet.
The constant delay has the gal on nervous breakdown already coz the mall was suppose to be ready end of last year initially.
Anyway, the shop is known as "In my shoes"and its located just beside the Coffee Bean on the 2nd level.
Do pop by and support lah, their diamante footwear are simply amazing!

On a lighter note, we left for brunch soon after that.
Had this sudden craving for ramen and gamely tried out Koo Kee Dumpling & Ramen house since they are having some value set promo.
The HB ordered his all time fav si chuan ramen while i became indecisive over their tom yam seafood and chicken ginseng. Made up my mind on the latter for its ginseng, maybe its hightime to pamper myself with some chinese tonic herbal soup or something...


The man cant seem to be able to stop munching on their pickles and even asked for a second topup


his ice lemon tea and my osmanthus tea is part of the set promo; the place is nicely furnished


we are entitled to 2 side dishes, i thought the crispy bean curbs are better than the spring roll; the man like both as usual


he says this is better than the one from Crystal Jade, mine comes with a drumstick and many strips of ginseng

Total bill adds up to only $28. And its hardly always for the man to say he wouldnt mind coming back here to eat again.
And yes, i wana try the spicy tom yam seafood ramen and xiao long bao (6pcs for $6) the next time! Oh, or maybe the set meal for 2. Okie okie, we will definitely be back!
 

Had been pretty okie.
Minus the 2 day old wound at my right foot that is still spurting speck of blood on and off.
The particular location of it also doesnt allow me to wear the usual working shoes, and i have to walk to classes in my flats. (bless me!)
Anywho, blame it on my laziness that caused the shot glass to fall and hit the foot on sat nite.
The HB said no jogging till it heals. (i highly thinks he is feeling lazy; not that i will get infected etc)

And oh, i received three pressies today as well!
1) a super eye catching  pack of taiwan's candy from the colleague
2) an ultra sweet precious moment luggage tag from sandra
3) a bottle of sand decor from my P5 boy, who got it from his recent trip to Dubai.



Its been a great start after all!
 

As much as i tell myself that i should have it completed before meeting the gals last nite, i was barely at question 2.
The mark weightage is freaky too high, just a mistake and no marks will be rewarded, not even for the workings. (scream!) Woke up bright and early this morning to figure out the rest of the horror.
No luck still, so am typing out all the available answers for the rest of the questions first.
And i had thought i could finish it and pop by town to collect the tags and look around for HB's pressie.

On a lighter note, the dinner with the gals last evening was great as usual.
And we had pretty much successfully entertained ourselves totally before the new term starts in another few days time.
No pictures though, coz we were too engrossed with the eating part. LOL.
And oh, gotten Ade's pressie this year as well.
Its a gorgeous notebook from Jim Thompson. We were joking about what to pen down in it.
I say, that will take time you know.
Wicked smile- and it will definitely take more than this notebook to write down all her act(s).

The super sweet Charmaine got us each a Sally Hansen manicure clean-up pen.
Pretty useful for my fat toe nails. Thanks love!
Gac pulled out 2 items from her last trip to Japan - a Winnie the pooh drawstring pouch and a Kitty eye mask for me and ade to pick from. No prize for guessing it right which one is for me actually.

You gals sure have me in your heart.
I heart all of you! Mwah!


who doesnt love pressies!?

Woh, the last meeting was like months ago and i wasnt around when they metup last dec.
Missed all of you!
Was on msn and saw Gac online last weekend.
She was contemplating whether to get a Palermo, a Trevi or a Tivoli.
I tot a Palamo is cool since its good for someone who flies around so often.
Even the man wanted a GM size Palermo for work.
But its too much for me to spend for the coming anniversary.
Maybe next time love!

Despite her status being away, i was so hook to the subject that i had happily type away my views on the respective bags.
(in case you are reading this, sorry lah, for some reason, i always appear offline)

its been awhile since i catch up wth them, and they have even delay the whole xmas pressie exchanging becoz of me.
Awfully gulity, but equally pleased i have such a brunch of understanding pals for life.
So yup! we are meeting on the 19th (after my second TMA)
And we are going for streamboat  steamboat somewhere in Bugis.
Cant wait gals!
