TGIF @ Grand Hyatt & Tropica

The one week holiday ended with great meetups and great company.

Then again, it wasn't a holiday for me :p

It's a holiday for me everyday!

Had to take a selfie with laogong during one of the traffic lights.

Haha, I had falsies on!

1st stop: Collected my Galia!

Yeah!

Super comfy flats.

Those killer heels are really not for me.

2nd stop: High tea with PEFX at 10 Scott, Grand Hyatt.

Limited variety but I thought, was of good quality.

The coffee was fantastic!

And I failed as the official photographer, 

I forgot about monthly group photo!

The refillable tray.

My favourite was the crab cake!

Lots of yummy parma ham and cheese.

Super sweet rock melon!

3rd stop: Bali Babes (Almost) Quarterly Reunion.

It would be perfect if our reunions were right in Bali!

Thanks to Marj, I have my fix of Tokyo Banana again!

Love you gals!

My forever Bali Babes!

More gatherings next week!

At home!

TGIF @ Rabbit Carrot Gun

Was supposed to have Jpot with Ni and Val 

but had some last minute changes.

Ni and I decided to head East

(or rather, remain in East) and 

had dinner at Rabbit Carrot Gun.

I was early and ordered the Blondebombshell (Wheat Beer).

Yummy!

I was telling Val, it's even nicer than our usual favourite.

With baby ni...

Always a good dinner, 

no matter where.

Company matters :)

Pan Seared Sea Bass

The vegetables that came with it tasted so good!

Slow Roasted Pork Belly

Really yummy! Good introduction from the people.

The pork was soft and not oily!

Mash potato was yummy!

The dessert was so-so only.

While I was waiting for baby, saw my favourite ...

After dinner, when I headed to the supermarket to grab some stuff,

saw my favourite again!

Such coincidence!

Laogong came to fetch me after work and we 

went over to B's place to feed the meows.

Still hungry from the sushi he had,

we went to have supper at C2K Rasa Istimewa Restaurant.

Drove past several times but never had the chance to eat there.

The satay was good!

Great Friday as usual!

See you soon Monday!

(My favourite day of the week!)

Always A Great Monday!

Monday, 10th March.

We decided to try out the new bus service from our estate to JB Sentral and back.

It took us just slightly below one hour to reach JB Sentral.

Since we were there, we walked over to City Square for some shopping and desserts.

Saw 许留山and decided to try their full meals and of course, 

their must-have desserts.

Their full meals were OK but not necessary to try.

The service (by the particular server) was terrible but hey!

I did not complain.

Haha ... The complain queen was at rest.

Shopped around with nothing to buy,

we headed to J.Co for coffee and yummy donuts!

Took a bus back home and decided that will be the last time!

Been driving around since 2000, 

I love and appreciate the convenience of driving around.

I am grateful and thankful that I have been saving quite a bit of time.

Spending sixty minutes instead of the usual twenty minutes to reach home

is not ideal for me.

It was a good experience after all :)

Got home and prepared for Charcoal's treat.

Time passes really fast!

Charcoal has been home for one month!

Happy Monthsary, Charcoal!

I love cats still but don't worry Charcoal,

I will love you too!

Meow!

I mean, Woof!

Happy Birthday, Carol!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROL!

Pre-celebration Lunch: 6 March

Venue: Poulet @ Bedok Mall

While waiting for Chris and Carol, I ordered my usual latte and gazed at the lovely flowers! So sparkly, glittery! It was love at first sight. Decided on that bouquet for Carol immediately! 

Ordered (or did we over-ordered?) lots of yummy food! Love their truffle mash and mushroom soup especially! The tiramisu was yummy too!

Blessed birthday, Carol!

Be happy and healthy!

Happy First Month, Garett (Endearingly, Popcorn)

The Devilz Aunties decided to have a 满月 Gathering for 

our latest member, Popcorn!

Cheers!

Congrats, Popcorn!

You are One Month Old!

Fuss-free. 

No need to worry about cooking.

Thanks to Cutie for buying the massive amount of Mos!

Burrrrp....

We missed the Feb's gathering and had a good time catching up

over 30 nuggets and 30 prawnies and others.

Too much food!

Over-ordered as usual.

Cheers to more good moments, happiness 

and good health, my dear Devilz Family.

February 24: One-Day-Trip to Bangkok

Second trip to Bangkok in 2014.

(Considering the fact that I came back to Singapore on Jan 2.)

Was eagerly waiting for this trip.

Comfort trip, back to our third home.

สวัสดีค่ะ 

Comfort-wear back to Bangkok.

Our Weekly-Monday-Shot 😍

When we left the house, Charcoal was sniffing the luggage.

We will miss you for 12 hours, Charcoal!

We reached the airport pretty early.

Shopped a bit.

Had coffee.

What else, but take photos!

Headed to our favourite breakfast place and ordered the usual.

I think I must learn to cook their noodles.

Went to pray and offer our gratitude at the shrine.

Thank you for the abundance of blessings showered upon our families and us,

Phra Phrom.

The streets were pretty clear.

Peaceful.

No major happenings.

We went off to MBK to stock up contact lenses.

Walked over to Paragon for more shopping.

Yeah! Another orange box!

Was tired after all the shopping.

Headed to Harold's for tea and cake.

Had my fill of red velvet 😘

With time on hand, we headed to 義德堂 next to Hua Lampong. One candonate coffins for the burial of the destitute deceased at 500 baht. There are some who can't afford the cost of death rites and/or unclaimed bodies from accidents or illnesses. The donation goes towards the payment for the coffin & burial ceremony. Coffin donation is considered a form of merit-making for the Thais. 

It's an act of compassion.

Even if you are not a Buddhist, you can donate too!

Final and must-go-to stop will be back to Mai Thai for our massage.

Too bad Laogong's favourite masseuse was not around, 

but actually, anyone there is good too!

With the Airport Rail nearby, we had dinner and set off for the airport after the massage.

Allocated a bit of time for tax refund and more duty-free shopping :p

Almost 10.30pm when the flight took off and we were deadbeat.

Slept for the whole flight back home.

Luckily we drove and parked at the airport, 

we zoomed back home immediately upon reaching the airport.

Till then, Bangkok.

See you soon, in three weeks.

No Regrets in Life ... YOLO

Blessed and Thankful.

Since passing my driving test in 2000,

I've been driving.

Thankful for parents who sponsored my driving lessons.

Thankful for generous people in my life.

People who sincerely treat me well.

I had the Hyundai Atos ...

I had the Hyundai Sonata.

I had the Hyundai Accent (Sporty)

Cannot find my own photo! :(

And then, I had the Hyundai Avante!

Thank you, 小白。

It was a good (almost) five years. 

You've been through a lot with us!

Joy and Happiness.

"20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in you sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

-Mark Twain

I have always wanted to drive a luxury car.

Some define it as materialistic.

I define it as fulfilling my dreams.

I give my parents money.

I make donations.

I sponsor children.

I save money.

I realise my dreams.

(in order of importance)

I remember Laogong's 教练 said something along the line of not having regrets.

I totally agree.

It is very expensive to buy a car, any car in Singapore.

I decided on a second-hand car.

I seeked Laogong's approval and so, 

I realised my dream.

We don't print money.

We are not millionaires.

We work very hard.

We fulfill dreams and goals we have.

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.

 I ONLY LIVE ONCE.

Blessed and Thankful I really am.
