What a day

Ya, yesterday was one hectic day. As I've said, Gina and Flo came by to my house... and their main purpose was... to dye Gina's hair.. DIY style. Why my place? I have no idea why...

I was at Flo's beck and call the whole entire afternoon. "Take this color tray, stand here.... stand the other side... Take tissue paper, dab Gina's face..." *can still hear her voice ringing in my ears.. shudder*

Gina on the hotseat with Flo, doing her hair:


After some 10 minutes of application:


Finally... after a few hours or so.. (actually, think it was just 30 minutes.. but it really felt like an eternity...)


Flo(the commander)


After Gina has washed up, Flo suggested we go for coffee break. So off we trotted to Causeway Point for a harmless cup of coffee. Boy, was it crowded! Forgotten that these few days, there'll be lots of ppl shopping due to Deepavali and Hari Raya.

Naturally, when going out with girls in a shopping centre... it's SHOPPING time! They tried out some clothes, shoes etc while I tried to look busy. Ahh.. but Gina did humor me by trying out some top that I've picked out for her. *grinz*

After 3 hours of shopping (as for me, standing around).. we went to Ya Kun for coffee (bcoz no Starbucks was to be found.. which is just as well, coz a-kun is cheaper!) After 15 minutes of well deserved break, we continued shopping because Charles asked us what we want to eat for dinner. Since no one can decide (coz all still very full from lunch and coffee), we continued shopping till Charles suggested we go Marina South for steamboat and bbq. Since no objection, Gina whipped out her trusted handphone and called Gerry and HC to join, while Charles mobilized YY.

So around 730pm, we made our way to Braddell where Charles fetched us in his car. We met YY along the way, and so the 5 of us cruised to Marina South while HC and Gerry made their way from Bugis.

After a very fulfilling dinner (must had packed more than 3 kgs yesterday night alone!), we went to the nearby arcade for a round of Daytona. After 3 rounds later, Flo and Gina found a drum beating game. Mesmerized by the 3 kids who were playing it (they were very coordinated!), we decided to give it a try. So imagine 3 grown-ups playing that. Totally hilarious! After much fun, Charles suggested we go Geylang for tau-huay and fried you-tiao (dough-stick).

As we approached Geylang, Charles will occasionally point out the 'attractions' to YY, who started to bleed from the corner of his lips... The night finally ended with one cup of cool soya milk and half a you-tiao, and thanks to Charles for sending us home safely. That was my Saturday... and how was yours? Hope it was just as fun!

Here we go

I'm never one for entertaining. I mean, usually I don't like to invite guests to my house. Too much trouble, too much hasle.

So, you can imagine my reluctance when Gina and Flo announced that they were dropping by for lunch. I guess they too can sense it. It's not like I don't welcome the intrusion.. haha, what a choice of word. Yup, I'm a very very private person. Though you may not know it, seeing that I'm quite outgoing most of the times.

So off to the NTUC I went in search of what we would be eating later. They wanted spaghetti while I'd most happy to do instant noodles. Of course my guests offered to cook as well but how can I allow my guests to cook? No way man...

So here's the menu for today's party of 3. My housemate opted out coz I think he's shy (or maybe he has no confidence in my cooking!) Main course, spaghetti (due to demand) but it will be chinese style. What is spaghetti chinese style? Well, with oyster sauce. Minimum fuss and hey, the sauce is already in the fridge! Okay, not just oyster sauce (too cheapskate). It'll be oyster sauce chicken wings cooked with shiitake mushrooms. I've already marinated the wings and now it's thawing.. so can start cooking the sauce at 10.30am. Next, simple fried eggs. For vege, fried cucumber with chili padi (prob some bits of chicken meat). Of course the only hot stuffs is just the spaghetti sauce. The rest are all going to be cold/lukewarm 'coz got no microwave oven. And for desserts, red crystal jambu with plum powder. Will cook the spaghetti once the guest has arrived so lunch can be served in 10 mins time after arrival.

The previous time I did this sauce, it turned out too watery and not so salty. Haha, this time round, I'm armed with corn flour, so can make the gravy thicker... so should be better, I think...

By 11.30am, I'll take a bath and meet them at the MRT around 12pm.

Hot hot hot

Been feeling under the weather lately. Probably due to tiredness ba.. Yesterday went to KTV but didn't really sing much. Luke enjoyed himself though. Later only HC and Gerry joined us. HC is something like me, we both go for latest releases (^_^)

Went to Yew Tee just now, and found it this new machine installed. Perhaps I didn't notice it, so I assume it's new! It's a movie rental thingie.. so may try it out later. Here's what it is Cine Now!

Might be playing badminton later. So have a healthy weekend!~

Home Sweet Home

Yup, I'm back since last Saturday morning. Then went to chalet and started work on Monday. And everyday, it's about reaching home around 11pm. Really salute all working mums who can juggle so many stuffs!
