Hungry me

Sis said I'm a glutton as I always seem to be hungry even after eating something substantial. Like yesterday, I was feeling peckish around 4pm even though I had Korean rice roll (a bit disappointing as I expected more kick at a price of $8). Agy and I got milo and muffin from the office canteen. For dinner, parents kept aside yummy brown rice with fried egg and asparagus with prawns and mushroom. I gave S a small portion for him to try as I wasn't very hungry after snacking. When we returned home from cat feeding, Sis was cooking her angel hair pasta in tom yam paste with tuna. She offered me some as she may not be able to finish. I added some tomatoes to the salty dish and it was yummy. You see what sis means :)

The Hunger Games

I collected this book and Catching Fire during lunch time on Thurs. I was hooked on it as the storyline is interesting and easy to read For past 2 nights I slept at nearly 1am to devote an hour to read. I read on the bus and train and finished the book last night. I may want to catch the movie at the cinema. I shall give my tired eyes a break before starting on the second book :)

Dinner @ Saizeriya

Even though SP, FR and I have been communicating over whatsapp, Facebook messenger, we have lots to talk about and catch up face-to-face :) Yesterday evening, we shared sautéed spinach and mushroom, chicken gratin and green bean pesto sphaghetti at Saizeriya at City Square Mall.

Knowing Marina Bay Sands a little better

After exploring one part of MBS this afternoon, I now know how to walk from the Casino, past the shops to get to the restaurants at Level 2 above the Casino. If not for work, this information is not useful and of interest to me. It was quite fun and challenging though when I tried to do a simple map/layout.

Comfort food at Millenia Walk

I was considering where to head for lunch on my way to Marina Bay Sands this afternoon. Since I need to change the train at Promenade station, I decided to settle my lunch at Millenia Walk. I remember Cedele and ordered my favorite Beetroot avocado sandwich and a soup.

Spiral staircase

When S and I were sitting and sipping our drinks during lunch time yesterday, I noticed this staircase between Novena Square and Square 2. I wonder what it is for.

Dry Soba with fish

This was lunch for me and sis yesterday. I cooked the last bunch of soba and some pumpkin noodles first, before stir frying the fish slices sprinkled with toast wheat germ and salt and French beans. I added some mirin to the soba to sweeten it a bit but sis would have like the dish better without it. And of course weird me like the mixture of sweet and savoury tastes :)

"Dressing up" on Friday

When there are no events or meetings on Friday, I can wear my fun clothes. Today I carry the bag given by FR and SP and wear this Uniqlo tunic (which becomes a dress paired with a lace trimmed petticoat). I like the small cat prints - a reason why I bought the top :)

Draw Something

When SP asked us to download this app, we have been playing it since last Fri/Sat. It's like pictionary - where you are given 3 different words (of different levels of difficulty and points/coins rewarded) and you choose one word to draw something for your friend guess. Last evening I drew something similar to this picture for FR who guessed correctly. I didn't do a print screen of the original drawing, so I tries to do a quick one for sis to see. Not as cute without the bouquet of red flowers
but I just want to show sis I had fun drawing it :)

Attempt to eat healthily after evening jog

I wanted to have simple oats for my late fibber at 9pm last night at home after jogging with Fion. But since I had these ingredients at home, I had tuna capsicum burger and papaya. Nice :)

Meeting my good friend in Bishan

Another thing that I wanted to do was to catch up with my good friend over drinks and kaya toast :)

Trip to Central Clarke Quay

I'm a little sad that I couldn't get any Japanese books from this 2nd hand book shop, Bookmart @ Central, Clarke Quay, as my Japanese is too atrocious to read and understand the text. I haven't been disciplined to revise them on my own and I don't think I have the time to go back to Ikoma to learn Japanese again. But it's nice knowing that there is a place where one can browse for 2nd hand Japanese and English books (which are in good conditions) and they are affordably priced too.

Trip to Chinatown

I finally could take leave this afternoon. I visited S at his fish stall in Chinatown. I'm impressed by how he neatly displayed his fish and stuff. Lunch was porridge with veggie and chicken at Chinatown Complex food centre. It was quite satisfying and I haven't been there for a few years I think. I bought 2 cups of ginseng chrysanthemum tea from a grouchy uncle and drank it outside S' stall, chatting with him for a short while. Then I hopped over to People's Park Complex to get some lace to lengthen my short dress. I'm happy that I managed to do what I wanted to do for the 1st part of my afternoon leave :)

My dose of vitamin c

The apple slices added a bit of joy to work yesterday morning, while the orange perked me up a little while I was getting ready to leave home for office. Hee.

Oreo is well

Someone asked about Oreo. Here is a fluffy side view of him during breakfast yesterday :)

Couscous with salmon & zucchini

I bought some organic couscous some time back but it has been sitting in the fridge untouched. Last night I thought why not cooked that for lunch today. The cup of couscous is more than enough for me and sis, so I have some yummy leftovers :)

Fat Cat is home

I released Fat Cat back at the void deck last night and he seemed quite scared and walked under the cars in the carpark and to the bushes in the park until I couldn't see him. This morning I am happy to find him at his usual hideout among the bicycles at the void deck. His stitches will be dropping off soon and he has a good appetite. He meowed at me too and I spent a bit of time stroking him before going home.

Chrysanthemum tea

I am enjoying the chrysanthemum tea that S got for us :)

Eating the whole day

Today I ate more than what I've shown here. The chicken kebab and brownie cookies were lunch for me and mom. For dinner, mom shared her char siew rice with me. I added some organic pea sprouts to make my meal healthier :p and make it sweeter with the peanut cake. Hee.

Sleeping Maple

I was happy this morning to see that Maple was sleeping soundly :)

Cute baby's one month celebration gift

My colleague gave each of us well wishers a box of these to thank us. They (chocolate, gummies, cookies) are very different from the cake vouchers and the traditional cake, red eggs and Ang Ku Kueh.

Yummy and yucky

Lunch at our favorite economy rice stall at Far East Plaza was yummy but the veggie dishes were a bit too salty. Due to a change of dinner plan and bloated tummy, I tried to make myself a savoury oatmeal with marmite but it tasted yucky towards the end as greedy me made too much. Luckily there were 2 pieces of mango to sweeten my meal :)

Lotus paste cake/biscuit

I don't know the name of this yummy snack but the skin is similar to that of a mooncake. I happily ate 1 on Sun after dinner.

Fat Cat recuperating

Fat Cat, the oldest community cat under our care, had 3 wounds on his left front limb more than a week ago, limping and a bit wary and not eating much. It was on Tues (28 Feb) that he seemed to regain his appetite and was more himself. That night, I got Fat Cat into the carrier and asked Lingcat to pick him up for a checkup by the vet the next day. Fat Cat got stitches for his 6 puncture sounds, scaling done on his teeth and 2 rotten teeth extracted. My parents and I are happy to see him looking well at Lingcat's place yesterday afternoon. We will let him rest there until he is in a better condition to be released back to his home. In the meantime, I will try to trap the elusive male cat (nicknamed E-oh) who probably attacked Fat Cat.

Heinz's canned spaghetti

I remember mom occasionally would heat up Heinz's canned baked beans and spaghetti and we would eat with toast. Those are one of my childhood happy meals :) Yesterday, mom wanted to have Heinz spaghetti with steamed siew mai and asked me to join her. Yummy :)

The things I do during lunch time

Lunch time is something I look forward since I enjoy my food :) I can also run errand and shop for stuff for the cats, family and myself. Today I bought stuff for me - a pair of flats and a white cardigan from Promod. I also managed to squeeze in some time to have lunch at Soup Spoon :)
