Hazy doings

Hot topic of the week - HAZE. PSI. NEA.

Singapore has hit a record high of PSI 400.
Lots of woo-ha... mac & pizza hut cancelled their delivery service, we had an option of working from home, and given free mask to bring home.

Despite this weather, some of us just heck care and continue going out!
Met up with the girls at Bugis + for dinner on Wednesday which I accidentally forgot to jot it down. Luckily, I was free.. otherwise... I would have kanna up down left right. *phew*

Ended up as usual, I was EARLY! hahaha. Next was yuez, then the other two girls who wasn't working, ended up later than the working girls!

We tried the Coco Curry house at Bugis +
Basically.. All curry with different type of dish in it.

A photo while waiting for the ladies.

The thing about Coco house is the curry can be adjusted to your spice level.
It has Mild (for children), Lvl 0 - 5.
Yuez and I took the 3 for starters because we didn't know how hot it was.
Level 3 is ok. I think it's hot because of the peppery taste. not those chilli hot.
So to me, I think 3 is good enough already. Even level 1 or 2 is a good option because japanese curry original taste (non-spicy) is tasty enough!
I ordered the pork shabu curry rice... which.. you can't really see the pork la. It's hidden in the curry.
Worth to go back and eat again. :)



Weekend was just about food and camping at my brother's place cause got aircon. hee...
Friday went to Tuas South for work. Freaking far....
Had to go back office after 5.30pm to do some work again. First time took cab that cost me $50!!!
I was so hungry... Went to ichiban boshi, new outlet in Vivocity Basement 1.
Love their sushi! Sometimes I prefer Ichiban because their sushi are quite unique and interesting.
Not those standard sushi you see in all restaurant. But it's slightly ex la. Once in a while, I think it's worth to go.
Two of us had 7 plates of sushi, 1 sashimi, 1 pot of salmon soup and chawamushi
Didn't take photos cause I ate immediately when the food came.


Sunday because he had to work, we went for Brunch at wild honey at Mandarin Gallery!
Their food is niceeee....
But portion is big. So do sharing ya. I couldn't finish mine, and he struggled to finish his as well.
The price is also more expensive.
The english breakfast - $24. Tunisian - $19. Had orange juice that cost $9!!!!!! Got a bit of shock...



Tea break was a Delifrance which is newly opened in our building at Level 2!
My favourite fruit tart! :)
Delifrance gonna be my new favourite hangout for OT dinner. :)


Hopefully the haze won't come back soon....
Take care of your health!
And I better not get sick because I'm leaving for hols in 2 weeks time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Staycation: Qool Quincy

Happy weekend is gone so fast!
Went to Quincy Hotel located along Mount Elizabeth Road for a weekend stay!
Well, the highlight is actually baking cupcakes, not the stay .. lol.. but the stay was good.
The Qool Weekend package comes with dinner, breakfast and lunch all inclusive plus free flow of mini bar stuff plus a bottle of red wine! Basically, you check in and you didn't have to spend a single cent for meals thereafter. :)
The package came with a cupcake baking session plus a movie night by the pool. It was showing Pitch Perfect so we gave it a miss because I watched it before already.

 The cupcake baking session! The place is quite small so if you plan to go there, better book the session first. Max 12 i think.
 Sweet aprons!! Been a long time since i wore one .... Sec 2? Lol....


Making cupcakes seem simple because we just had to mix the sugar, butter, flour and vanilla essence with the blueberries in and mix all of them together! Seem just so simple! After that, just bake them in 15-20 min and you have blueberry cupcakes!



 So while the oven is piping, we had a little game of fun - icing decorations! We had ready made chocolate cupcakes and were given some colours to play around with.



After 15 minutes, viola! Our nice blueberry cupcakes! Though I'm not a fan of blueberry, it was good!




After that, we toured around the hotel which had an infinity pool (sorry, no pictures.. forgot!) then rest before heading down for dinner. Dinner was selection of one main course. We managed to sit by the window and the view was nice. Just patches of grass but i liked it.

Our night was spent window shopping at Orchard and bought a dress for new born baby of Celyn's.

The next day's breakfast was a spread of standard international food. I would say their food standard is good. Quite nice, especially they free flow of ice cream 24 hours. :):):)

We spent our afternoon being a tourist! Guess where we went....
SINGAPORE BOTANIC GARDENS!!!

And we walked from our hotel all the way there! Hot scorching sun but we went ahead.
Never been there before except the wedding photo taking of my bro.
Quite a nice place because you can sit there and picnic!
So, here's our typical "must have" tourist photo... The main gate! lol.
 His standard routine - Take map photo. :)



 My favourite photo. :)



The above look so special. like lotus...

Had a great weekend. Though the botanic walk was tiring, but enjoyed it maybe because I love walking. Lol.
The stay at Quincy was good - Service was fab! The toiletries was Molten Brown (hehe) and most importantly, Had a good time doing something together for the first time. Baking. :)

Looking forward to the next staycation!

xoxo.

Mr Jay :)

This semester is finally over!!! I might have screwed up both papers... got sad over it, and angry because we weren't taught of those that came out, but it's OVER!!!!
I was super hyper the day I finished, and the next day... and.. I'm kinda still hyper even though I have tons of work to do. Yes, backlog after 2 weeks of hospitalisation and 4 days of leave for exams.
And here, I'm slogging away desperately trying to close FY2012 financial statements.

Erm, taking a break now la. =)
After my first exam on 6th June, I went for JAY CHOU concert!!!! WOO-HOO~~~
I was pretty near to the stage (that cost me $241 by the way) and could see him quite clearly!
A friend's boyfriend was so sweet to queue from 12midnight till morning 9am just to get the nearest seat to the stage. He was angry he couldn't get what he wanted which was first 5 rows, because of SISTIC's slow webby. But nonetheless, I think it was good! (Thanks Jeff!)

Didn't take alot of photos because I was in daze just listening to his songs and seeing him so near. haha....
But sadly he didn't dance as much as I was expecting.
Kinda emo after that because.... ok, shall drop it.

I so wanna go KTV !!!! Been ages!!!!









I think Jay like PINK alot.. The light sticks were pink in colour, his mic + mic stand also in pink!
But it was pretty when the lights dimmed, and our sticks were lit up. :)

Totally enjoyed myself! :)

Now I'm still having this hyper mood because I temporary do not need to memorise notes and practising them so nowadays when I'm travelling, I watch dance clips and day dream!!!
What am I thinking? HOLIDAYS!!!!! And a birthday to plan.... :) yea, it's still long way but need time to plan.... haha
