Pre V-day

Valentine’s Day is a time for showing affection for the one you love (or all your friends and family). It's not about presents and candy, it's about showing someone you care about them. V-Day doesn't have to be one day a year. To me..everyday is V-day. Hope everyone will have a nice one, unfortunately i'll be away this V-day. So...hippo and i decided to have some alone time together.

Hippo took me to KHA for lunch yesterday. A modern thai cuisine restaurant situated at Hort Park. I love the lush outdoorsy setting that will make you think that you are almost in Bali. It has a fantastic view of Hort Park and overlooks the garden while you are having your meal. Do bring a along a camera and take some nice shots if you are there. Perfect place for couples.... :)

The waiter told us the best time to go is at 6:45pm. Have a pre-dinner cocktail while watching the sunset. Sound romantic isn't it... hippo and i gonna go back again.

Five Years at Swoosh

27 Jan (just few days ago)... was my fifth year working with the swoosh. And what a five years it has been! Back then, i would never thought of working for the swoosh after my job with 3 stripes. The network began life with 300+ contacts (i think) – all friends and associates of mine. I’m privileged to work with such a passionate AND innovative bunch of people. Just five years of campaigns after campaigns, i do look back on many eventful and exciting moments + fun in each campaign.

After 5 years...I'm still loving the brand... :)

Happy Chinese New Year!

Wishing everyone and your family a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year.

New Year Resolutions 2009

I've decided not to create New Year resolutions for this year. It might be because I realized that i don't seem to achieved any of my resolutions. Or maybe I'm just plain lazy or such a procrastinator that I know I'll never achieve a resolution, so why bother making one in the first place? I can't remember if i ever achieved my resolution for 2008. I think i did achieved one though, which is loosing weight.

My Mommy is the best!

My mum just got back from Shanghai 2 weeks ago and she brought back a huge box of strawberries for me. Yippee... love you lots!! I had an entire week supply of strawberries. :)

Fridge stock up with strawberries!!

Walking around Haji Lane & Arab Street

Hippo and i popped by Haji Lane last weekend for dinner after walking around town and dropping off some stuff at Cathay, What's Good store. I must say that it’s one of my favourite places now to shop and I can’t believe I only just begin to love this place a few months back. I find that the best time to walk down Haji lane would be late saturday afternoon because stores are all opened and the waether is perfect (not that hot and humid).

End up purchasing a few items from a couple of shops.

Simply Bread for lunch

My unusual x'mas eve dinner

Hippo and i had x'mas eve dinner at home instead of going out. This time around, decided to cook our own x'mas eve dinner. It was a very typical meal, which made it an unusual way to celebrate x'mas eve. We ate no ham, no turkey, and no sweet potatoes. No mashed potatoes with gravy, no pie, and no warm dinner rolls. Our Christmas dinner was eaten late at night, and it was nothing special or fancy. Quite the opposite, it was as ordinary as ordinary can be. Hippo and I filled our bellies with it while watching the movie batman begins into the night before we meet friends for drinks.

We had...
Starters: Green Spinach Salad with tomatoes and corn + sushi platter
Main: medium rare steak with mushroom sauce, frankfurters + vegetable chips (my fav. brand terra chips)
Dessert: Korean Strawberries and Aust. Seedless Grapes
