Pasta feast this weekend

Thanks to S, I cooked penne with his yummy bolognese sauce for lunch yesterday and dinner today. He also made pasta salad with fresh veggies and lovely Italian dressing today and that was my lunch.

Indian food, movie and walk

S and I shared prata and briyani before we watched "To Rome with Love" in the late afternoon. I like "Midnight in Paris" and when I learnt that Woody Allen has a new movie, I was keeping a lookout for it. I watched the first half of "To Rome with Love" during the flight home from Bangkok, but nothing beats watching on the big screen with S and a nice 45 minutes' walk home :)

Do what makes me happy

A young colleague was very sweet to ask some colleagues to buy back soya bean curd from Old Airport Road Food Centre for a few of us. Earlier this morning, I had a short chat with him about work and he asked me again if I am happy to take on the new portfolio. I'm not sure at the moment but I think it's better than sticking to my old one and I want to learn new things. He also told me to do what makes me happy. I shall continue to ponder over the question that has been eluding me for years :)

Colourful Friday

My lunch this afternoon and the dress I wore to work together with the dragonfly pendant from sis. They helped to perk up my day!

Iced drinks on a hot day

@ Chokeful of Beans cafe @ Changi Village, I had iced chocolate. S' iced latte had a cute rabbit on it.

Chrysanthemum tea and pig trotters

I made a hot cup of chrysanthemum tea to sip while trying to focus on some work this morning. The weather has been rather gloomy, so my jogging session was cancelled and I had S' pig trotters for dinner instead.

Turning 34 yesterday

I have given myself a big present earlier, received birthday wishes from friends and colleagues, played with the thoughtful gift from S, spent the day with my loved ones and baked coffee butter cake and cinnamon cookies :)

Lor Mai Fun & Otak

S bought the famous Lor Mai Fun from Chinatown for our breakfast yesterday morning. My lunch with mom was yummy too - baked otak with veggies.

Waking up happily

it's still the weekend and I can still relax home for a while and enjoy my breakfast :)

Dinner and stroll

The food wasn't great but the place was not crowded and we could dine in peace. Before going home, we took a stroll around Punggol Park. There were some cute cats with tipped ear sleeping or strolling too.

24 Mar 2012 = Feel good day

Today is another of those "feel good" days. I managed to scrub the shower area clean, make granola, practise driving, make mom's day less stressful and have yummy Teochew porridge dinner with S :)

Nice teochew porridge

After jogging with F, S came to pick me up for dinner. S said the porridge is nicer with more "arm" aka porridge water. I selected the Chye Poh omelette, veggie and black bean minced pork. Poor S didn't have much of an appetite due to a slight tummyache, but he wanted to make sure I had my dinner. He did nibble on some food and drink the arm.

A good day

Today is a good day because I met S for lunch, S managed to find Oreo who was missing since Tues night and I met my 2 close friends :)

My cool new bicycle

S gave me this lovely second hand bike he has refurbished. He changed its grip handles, saddle, pedals, gear and polished its aluminum frame. For a start, I'll cycle my new toy around the little park nearby since I'm quite a lousy cyclist :)

Christmas dinner with S

After a nice leisurely walk @ Pierce Reservoir, we had masala thosai and Teh Halia (ginger milk tea) @ Casaurina Curry.

Sweet memories

I like the vanilla ice cream at Ice Cream Chefs @ Teacher's Estate (at Thomson Road). Since they didn't have that on Tues afternoon, we tried Strawberry & Cream and Sea Salt Caramel which would be nicer if a little less sweet.

This little outing and the Taipei trip have been one of the many good memories for the year. Even though I'm still feeling a bit lost, I look forward to collecting more happy stuff along the way :)

Lunch, movie, dessert & love

昨日,SとSun with Moon レストラン (Wheelock Place)で昼ご飯を食べたり, Tin Tinの映画を見たり,しました。デザートが好きですから, PS Cafe (Paragon)で Jaffa pudding を食べました。チョコレートソースとバニラアイスクリームが美味しかったです。楽しかったです。Sがだい好きです。

After a busy morning at work, I treated myself to an afternoon off yesterday. S and I had a nice meal at Sun with Moon Japanese Restaurant. The lunch crowd had disappeared after 2.30pm. We watched Tin Tin at 5pm. I didn't bother to read any of the reviews and I've not read any of the books, but I enjoyed the movie. S too.

The malls and streets of Orchard Road were surprisingly crowded for a weekday. I couldn't think of any nice warm Chinese dessert, so we went for PS' cafe's Jaffa pudding. I love the homemade choc sauce, vanilla ice cream and of course the pudding. I love S too :)

No longer irritated with myself

The doctor didn't detect anything too, but I will have another appointment 4 months later, before they close my case.

I was irritated with myself this morning as I only realised I misplaced the polyclinic letter on the way to work. I rushed to the polyclinic from office and luckily it wasn't a long wait for the letter to be reprinted. I went home to check office emails and managed to see Mom, Angel, Bob and S too, before my appointment @ 2.15pm.

I feel a little light hearted now, sitting in the shuttle bus :)

Pork rib peanut porridge for me and mom

S cooked porridge for us since I went for a health screening this morning and mom had an appointment @ the polyclinic this afternoon. The photos weren't well taken as I was more focused on enjoying my lunch :)

Steamed pomfret. Fried onion

S cooked Teochew style steamed pomfret and rice for our lunch. The fish was fresh and the tomato, kiam chye (aka salty veggie) and sour plum gave the soupy gravy a nice sourish salty taste without the MSG. The jar of fried onions is the by-product of frying the onions to get the oil for steaming the fish. We ended the meal with some pieces of Korean apple.
