A Mother’s Journey
I wanted to share some peektures on a fab, yummy dinner cooked by dearest J last Sunday and even our late-night CNY shopping in Chinatown and Mustafa with my mum last night…
BUT
When I come across THIS from someone else’s blog. I knew I HAVE TO share this… I couldn’t bear to just click and go…
Our Third Polariod!

Yesterday was an eventful Sunday. A group of us had yummy XO beehoon fish soup at holland V before heading down town for some shopping! The boys went home with their loots while the girls were all empty-handed. haha!
Happy DDD!

Apparently, yours truly and her other half have no idea WHEN exactly they got together. HAHA. Seriously, I think we are such failure. It’s not like we FORGOT ABOUT IT! We never did set a date. We prolly are aliens from mars or avatars-breeded! We don’t behave like most couples where they celebrate their monthniversaries, anniversaries. Sounds yummy lorrr, more lo-mantic and meaningful. Righttttt?
1st Step to NYR #1
1st step to NYR #1 (New Year Resolution) is fixing a set of braces. I’ve been thinking hard enough whether I SHOULD go for it at the moment, considering the fact I have to save up quite a bit for my upcoming studies. Then again, if I don’t do it NOW, I’ll harp on it forever. I’ve been doing that for the past 1 year odd already. haha.
So yes! There goes my first deposit of more than 1k and 6 separators stuck in between my teeth. I’m pleased to know extraction of teeth is NOT necessary in my case, HOWEVER, I’m given 6 months time frame for the progess. I’m glad the pain caused by the separators subsided very quickly, just have to bear with the lil’ rubbers for another week before molar bands came into place. Could have put on the braces the following week (it’s CNY period!!), but decided to delay a week later. I would love to enjoy reunion dinner and BAK KWA painlessly! Speaking of which, I needa fix a day with Cindy to buy bak kwa soon. [Aunty See, when are you free? How about Feb 6? =p]
You prolly see me with braces in another 3 weeks time. Meanwhile, date me out to feast/drink/laugh soon! Cheers.
SCAN PAY GO
Last weekend, a group of us went to this uber cool, quiet and refreshing cafe for brunch. Josh, Jon, Jan & Becky. Our initial plan was to swim at Jet’s place but due to our tiredness (after Rachel’s party) and unforeseen circumstances, it was cancelled. So back to piggin out at the superb nice cafe, it is located very near Tiong Bahru Market, as well as, St. Matthew’s Church. Built in one of those shophouses, stationed first level. Their food are affordable (reasonably cheap), nice combination of set meal, good service, lovely jazzy music and very relaxed atmosphere. The perfect place to be on a weekend morning! Love to be there again!
Thereafter, Josh dropped us, the girls somewhere-out-there ’cause he kinda lost his sense of direction to Great World City. haha. We took a bus and started hours of shopping at the mall. The three of us lugged home 4 pairs of Novo footwear, Becky & I one each while the other two belong to Jan!
The most interesting incident gotta be this. SCAN. PAY. GO in Cold Storage Supermarket (Great World City)! COOL-NESS. Helps to save SO MUCH time when you’d only 3 bottles of drinks and you couldn’t escape from queue with trolleys after trolleys.

Oooooooo. Cool-ness.

Every supermarket SHOULD have this!
The 18yo Rachel
The last time I attend Rachel’s birthday party was when she was SIXTEEN years old. And two years blinked just like that! Rachel’s 18yo party was a great one, with yummy food (lovin’ it!), lotsa sabotage (didn’t expect the boys to be so shy) and late-night-chats till 3am in the morning. It has been a long, long *i repeat* LONG time I stayed till wee hours. Awesome!
[On a side note]
I tried Liese foam hair dye but guess it didn’t work on me. (As you can see from the peektures below) haha! Probably cause I chose the DARKEST colour, dark chocolate brown sort. haha! OR could be the fact I’d have used black dye too many times. Oh wells. At least, I don’t have to resort for a BLACK dye in time to come! lols. [case by case basis] Liese hair dye works on both cousins! So go for it if you are keen! Fast & easy!

Pretty Birthday Girl, Rachel! *Photograher: Gladys*

I love this peekture! *Photographer: Gladys*

The young and the ooooold... *Photographer: Joyee*

AND THE GROUP PIC!
Happy Birthday, Rachel!
DAISO is the place where I purchase most of my DIY stuffs. I LOVE the idea where everything is $2 and there are loads of varieties! However, I have a problem when it comes to DIY stuffs. I bought stuffs (which I ASSUMED I’ll use it) but are now chucked at one corner. So the thing is, apart from having a good eye for details (on quality), it is wiser to keep your ideas fixed at all times!
