mid-autumn celebration

It's mid-autumn again. Time flies. Still remember I had bbq gathering around mid-autumn times last year and the weather wasn't that friendly. Lucky, the weather this year was good. Had our annual bbq gathering session again. Great times spending with my group of friends with the yummy food and lantern lighting. But, this year was slightly special because decided to celebrate the oct babies birthday for them in advance since it was near oct =) Used a mooncake to replace a sponge cake as their birthday cake hahaha Hope they enjoy the night.  Really appreciate their helpout with the bbq of food and of course not forgetting my luv for setting up the superb fire. Got the food from a few places. Some ordered online through bbq wholesales and some bought from ntuc and market. We had chicken mid-joint, satay, otah, hotdog, taiwan sauages, stingray, sotong, prawn, etc. Bought nuggets too, but left it in the fridge and totally forgot about it -_-"

 

 

Went for a movie after the bbq and watched 'boyfriend*girlfirend'. A complicated relationship taiwan drama, but not a bad movie afterall. The life started from school again, just like 那些年 that movie.

 

buffet lunch

Had department lunch at straits café rendezvous hotel again. An international buffet with wide spread of nice food. The laksa is famous and they have durian dessert (durain puree and cake) too. But, this time round I had a missed on both of the delicious food because I wasn't feeling very well and had not recovered from flu. I must save my throat for coming saturday bbq =p Had two plates of my favourite sashimi instead =D It's been quite sometimes since I had sashimi.

 

 

mao shan wang mooncake

These durain mooncakes from Marriott Hotel are really rich in filling. Durain lovers will definitely like it. Have a try if you have chance!

 

time for workout

Tonight was the second day of the workout class which I took up recently. Purchased the six weeks California gym pass from online deal with unlimited usage of the facilities (steambath & sauna) and classes (pilates, yoga, body combat, zumba etc). So far, I had only attended the zumba, body combat and basic step class. One lesson each. The classes were quite packed with people. Found that the basic step workout can be quite tiring too. Stepping up and down the board. Is ok, because I'll be going to have other funs soon hehehe Will be heading to bali this weekend =) A lucky draw prize won from one of the wedding fair at MBS which my hubby and I visited few months back. Looking forward as it's my first visit to resort villa. Frankly speaking, if it wasn't a lucky draw gift, I'm really not sure when I will have the plan to visit bali. As I always find it expensive and with the travel expenses, I can go to place like bangkok. Somemore I'm not really those beach type of girls. But, I will remember to take picture of the beautiful villa and share it when I'm back.


After back from the short gateaway, I'll be having bbq gathering with my girls. Had it last year near mid-autumn festival and of course not forgetting this year too hehe seem like a yearly celebration huh. How can I missed it! But I hope it will turn up well and everyone who attending will have a great night. See you girls and boys soon ;)

smiley face nail design

New design for my nails again. This time round is the facial expression theme haha! DIY with pastal yellow and black color nail polish from Etude house. Try out the dotting tool which my sister received it as her birthday present.

 

 

Hmmm...now thinking for the next design.

delicious mooncakes

The yearly mid-autumn festival is around the corner again. As we can see mooncake fairs at various shopping mall. And guess which mooncake brand do I buy this year?? Bakers oven again! hehe just get addicted by their yum spiral skin mooncake.It is one of the teochew mooncake. Like the yam paste as it is not too sweet and the price is by pieces. herefore, you do not have to buy a box of four, you may choose to buy just one or two pieces. Of course I bought a box of four, but is in mixture. I choose to buy 2 pieces with egg yolk, 1 piece without egg yolk and 1 piece baked skin mixed nuts mooncake. I'm happy that this year they are fully in stock. Beside this, I even bough the mini walnut mooncakes =)

 

 

The below attractive and special mooncakes are given by my uncle. It is from Casahana brand. Quite special flavours. White chocolate cranberry and bamboo charcoal green tea.
 

 

first DIY hand bouquet arrangement

My first DIY flower arrangement, hand bouquet =D Attended the class through online deal purchase. Lesson taught by a florist from rosebud. Quite an interesting activityto me and now I can make my own hand bouquet hehe

craving for new try sushi

Finally have a try out at Itacho Sushi, Bugis outlet. Have been hearing people saying how delicious the sushi are, but no chance to taste it. Although I find the price slightly more expensive than most of the sushi, but the quality is worth the price. Quite yummy.

 

 

all day breakfast

Finally got the chance to dine at Robert Timms =D Ordered the all day breakfast and share with my sister because of the big serving portion. We top up $4 to change the baked beans to criss-cross fries. Had my peppermint tea as usual hehe

colors of life

Long time since I did my own DIY nails hehehe the mood is back again. Decide to paint it with pastel colors to create a fresh and lively feel =) Got the colors from Etude house. They have a range of nice pastel colors.
