Stanchart Run 07

Yes i'm doing it again

Mark jio-ed for the 42km run.

SIAO BO

My personal goal this time is to finish the 21km in just over 2hrs.

Last yr was 2hrs and 26mins. So i got 27mins to kill.

I reckon i start slowly now, 3 runs a week, then top it up with an upcoming ICT, I should be able to make it la.

And i managed to drag GF down with me! :)

She doing the 10km with Mrs Cheng.

It will be a milestone to get her to wake up at 5am and start running at 6am.

I think she havent realised that part yet. HAHAHA~~~

:p

Canton Wok by Chef Kang

One of the best Zi Cha in SG.

The food is wonderfully delicious and $268 for a 10-person feast is well worth every penny.

No joke, the chef really prepared a ten-person volume on every dish served.

And there was only 6 of us. Siao liao.

In the end we had to tabao the vermicelli back home.

Which is still damn good when we had it for dinner on monday after reheating.

Sis birthday

Really have no idea whatsoever what to get for the newly crowned Mrs Cheng. As mentioned she already has everything she wants, needs and dont need.

Luckily i saw this:

For her to put Meow Meow's picture in @ 1-3 Hill.

Not very expensive lar, but its THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS mah.

Gf pumped in some efforts as well, took a long walk from UOB plaza to Funan and got her 明星三缺一 software.

Practise hard and we'll see u on the real table again soon. Huat ah!

Anyway sweet us got 2 cakes for her also. One with sugar, another without.

Happy Birthday Mrs Cheng!

Farewell potluck

I love potluck parties, especially when everyone around is 'on' and enthusiastic. (hardly the case in my circle)

Bryan took over the baton and organised this event for Andrea, who's flying back to Canada for her next semester.

Everytime we have a potluck, you can always predict some personal 招牌菜:

二婶 - Pineapple rice

Her Majesty - Curry chicken (Forgot to take picture)

Granny - Gua Huei

Mark and sister brought along 4 tubs of Island Creamery ~~~~ Very nice.

I myself queued up for a box of Donut Factory sweeties last night @ Suntec.

And so coincidental its Huijun's fav~~~ She actually said 'Thank you' to me the next day on MSN, welcome la welcome la hahaha ~~~~ :)

:: Fireworks Festival ::

We were both very excited about the event.

So looking forward to seeing the highly touted floating platform.

I just read the Colonel in charge of NDP 07 was my commander last time in armceg.

It was a long 2hrs wait to the start and all but lasted 15mins =_=

The wait was worth it though, show was a powerful treat of music and visual entertainment.

I like this one:

~~ HAPPY 9TH MTH BABY~~~

:: Her 26th bday ::

Its here! Her late twenties celebration :p

It wasnt all that hard deciding what to buy for her, just had to listen and observe her likes, needs and wants, beside the usual bags and travelling blah blah~~

And so after 千挑细选 i finally decided on THIS:

There were a couple of items on the list i was contemplating, but I think this is most appropriate la.

It was basically The Need vs The Want.

I picked The Need cos her current one is falling apart.

Nothing beats seeing her cry out in surprise eyes big wide open hands covering her mouth then followed by giggles and 'thank you!!'

She luuuuuuvs it. :)

And a nice dinner at Greenwood Ave, Peperoni Pizzeria.

She picked the place and sweetie her actually chose my fav food for her birthday.

Happy 26th Birthday darling :)

四川豆花

Brunch @ UOB plaza, where gf works.

She's whining as i turned into the basement carpark 'sunday also must come here!'



Today we're having à la carte buffet on the top of the building.



I esp like the 黄金煎饼 and Eight Treasures Tea. Tea is served using a kettle with a long spout. A bit drama la, the tea master performing Nodding Phoenix and Boy Prays to Buddha.



But I render it as good service.


There were over 60 dishes to choose from. But each order's volume a bit too much to go around, so we only had 10 dishes before calling it a day.

Chong Qing Chicken with Spicy Dried Chilli

The Manhattan Fish Market

Unplanned dinner with a couple of hall 9 boys at PS, a satisfying one nevertheless.

Its a replica of Fish 'n' Co, more posh only. I wonder if they have the same management.

National Day Rounding it is. Took jazzy out for a spin this time.
We used to do this on every National Day Eve. Only differences this time are:

- We are all in cars, instead of on bikes.
- We travelled up to the west via the south. Used to go to the north then the east.
- The night ended earlier, even had time for a game of mj after that.

In any case, we had a good time. :)

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY

Miss Clarity @ Thomson Rd

Delightful layout, makes u feel like living ur kindergarten days.

Which is spiritually healthy for 2 late-twenties pple.

Honestly, the main course was a disappointment. But the cookies 'n' cream milkshake and potato skin made up for the dismay.

This is afterall... a cafe.

Wii-ing @ 1 3 Hill

Sister invited us over for dinner since Auntie Linda's not in and they hardly get to dine in these days.

BUT the latest buzz is this:

Even the King got into the act. Mark introduced Wii Golf to him after dinner and he couldnt resist.

Look how serious he took his stance??

Then went to pick up GF from Swissotel R.C. and back to 1 3 again for Wii-tennis and Wii-boxing.

I particularly like the game Wario Ware.

Stupid game asking you to do stupid things literally to clear the various stages.

But i admire their creativity, those japs.

Oh anyway, abt the dinner.

Look how pro the setup is, nothing beats having a maid.

But mother cant get used to the hospitality and insisted on helping the clearing up.
