lazy weekend

had a rather relaxed weekend with my friends.

on sat, fifi, RC & CY made their way to my house for a small round of gathering.

it would be better if YZ & yan can join us afterall.

anyway, cold beer, chilled moscato + KFC = heavenly!LOL.



yesterday, brought yz with me along to shirley's house for steamboat lunchie and also to have a mini celebration for stella's bday.

the steamboat was super duper yummy!

kudos to shirley's mum for preparing the soup base and the ingredients.

photo session with the birthday girl!



later in the evening went out to PP for a quick dinner before dashing home for my fav. 红星大奖！LOL.

sucker for scrutinizing all those stars' attires and of cos who are in the 十大. :P

i've caught on the hunger games fever!
books depository tempted me by delivering the 1st 2 books first and i completely devoured them over the weekend!
followed by catching the show on monday. wahahah.
they are all very nice!!
the books are better in terms of giving the background story and exploring the various themes better.
but im not too impressed with the prose and style of writing though reading the books was a breeze. :)
the movie brought the pages to life and i really liked what they did with the gamemaster control room.
pretty cool.

cant wait for mockingjay to reach me like FAST!
i want to know the ending!

and so, i continued to shop this weekend. teehee.
from uniqlo, i added another black sleeveless basic top & a windbreaker.
from pedro, a nice pair of heels (i cant recall the last time i bought shoes!)
from sephora, i bought the laura mercier foundation & loose powder to try.
i think i can call it a day for april shopping.

time to save up for start of GSS in may. hiaks.

a sign of maturity finally?

more like a sign of old age.
it was ages since the last time i clubbed.
such frequency has dropped to once a quarter and i can totally see it slowly dwindle down more in the future.
i definitely take much longer to recover than last time. lol.

and so yesterday was team building for my team.
a cooking class was organised and it was rather fun for us to whip up a decent (cant go very wrong with a chef guiding us on every step) meal from 4-7pm.
after that, adjourned to wine company @ dempsey with the team for moscato and more moscato. *woot*

the fun really begin when the chill out session was over and i finally can made my way to meet some of the peeps for a crazy night @ attica!
it was my first time there and though the crowd is ..... but the fab music really make up for most things. :)

perhaps i was too sober. perhaps im getting old.
but some behaviors in the night did get to me.
and its surprising since its really no big deal to me - previously.
and i started thinking, was i like that when i was younger?

haha. such a joke to be judging others like only starting from now?!
hmmm, oh well.

still, loads of fun with dd and all.
and supper @ maxwell market was to die-for! i need all the hot soup + noodles to soak up the volka and all. lol.

by the time i reached home, bathed and ready to hit the sack, it was already 4+am....
i was thissss short to collapsing.

hubbi was the best to let me sleep till almost 11am this morning.
and i took another 3 hours nap with the boys in the afternoon again.
gosh, so it really ended up like that.
taking almost a full day to recover from a drinking night out (im not even really hangover ok!)?!

geez.

Rising COE

and so, COE has risen past the $90k mark yesterday.
i mean, woah, this is getting totally ridiculous.
saw the news and this car salesperson was saying that its fear and uncertainty pushing up the COE prices.
people are scared that it will continue to rise so more flock to get it NOW than future.
i say bullshit.

is this really a case of demand and supply that COE prices are being pushed up.
can u imagine a whole horde of low, average, middle income people out there rushing to snap up the $90k COE in case it goes up further?
in the first place, $90k is definitely not affordable for most people being the annual income for many.
it would be more like a case of many rich people wanting to get the first hand audi, bmw, merc asap because they just cant stand their 2 years old audi, bmw, merc anymore?
okok, being a little extreme here.

but i really dont think its just a simple case of dd ss here.
and this whole COE saga/joke just goes to show that income disparity is a fact in sg now.

the next leo for me?

i realised i've watched quite a fair bit of channing tatum's movies!
- step up
- the eagle
- GI Joe
- She's the man
- Dear John
- Haywire
- the vow

upcoming ones that im interested:
- GI Joe:retaliation
- magic mike

maybe not 21 jumpstreet. ha

been working kinda hard at work so its time for retail therapy once more!
some needs some wants but making me a happy woman nevertheless.
1) books books and more books! i bought the hunger games trilogy, 2 more fiction books & a tin tin comic set.
bookdepository is so cool and there is an additional 10% off for mth of may! *woot*
2) the new le blanc chanel cleanser to try
3) shu uemura blusher since my existing one is finishing
4) diorsnow compact powder to try since my existing chanel one is finishing as well
5) a peplum top & dress from bysi (which the husband has kindly offered to pay - hiaks!)

adding on (hehe), 2 more tops from gg5..

a great way to start a weekend!
ok, gonna go catch "the vow" soon.
channing tatum... hmmmm. :)

long easter weekend!

we had a fun-filled long weekend!
on fri morning, we had breakfast with the boys, do household chores like its a saturday morning while the boys play on their own.
we made the boys took their naps earlier at 1+pm so that we can move out of the house earlier in the late afternoon.

plan for the evening: yz's kindy has requested a mini project which required us to bring him to alkaff bridge @ robertson quay.
it actually turned out to be a fun outing with the boys.


walking towards the bridge after parking - with 包 in their hands.


tada! @ the bridge. took a slow stroll across it and we had fun identifying the different types of circles on it.

part of the project requires him to draw his version of the bridge - "picasso" hard at work.

after that, we settled for an early dinner at brussel sprouts.

been wanting to bring the husband to try their mussels for the longest time and was so glad to do so finally.
the place was kid-friendly enough with their kids menu so the whole family can enjoy dinner together in a new eatery place!
im in love with the lindeman fruit beer there - yum yum!
desserts was at Laurent’s Café & Chocolate Bar - yum yum as well!

all of us had an early night on fri, gleeful with the thought that tomorrow is only saturday!

saturday afternoon was spent at GS's housewarming @ kovan residences.

her place is quite near our house, just a 10-15mins drive away? and her view at #17 is good! :)
the boys had fun playing with all the toys at her house and when all 5 kids were playing @ her balcony, her place looked kinda like a childcare centre. LOL.
we left ard 2+pm for the boys to come home for a quick catnap.

in the evening, i decided to bring all of us out to catch mirror mirror at tampines!
it was an early evening show at 7pm, just nice after dinner.
and at 26m old, YR fared better at watching this show compared to the last one "John Carter" given mirror mirror's more animated and lively action sequences.
still, had to resort to my phone games to occupy him towards the end of the show. ha.
YZ enjoyed the show since this is a mild version of the actual snow white story.
for me, i think its just julia roberts 撑ing the whole show up. the plot and other characters are really just so-so.

due to the activities during the day and movie, the boys K.Oed fairly early before 10pm.
leaving hubbi and myself to catch yet another show on our own "big" screen - the descendants.
again, its good but not as good as i expected like the artist.
i think i need to catch films earlier before their avalanche of good reviews.

sunday morning was spent catching yet another show with the boys - MI4!
hahah, its an old show but ive only managed to watch it now.
not too bad! tom cruise still has it at his age!

evening was spent at my nephew's 7yo bday.
quite a yawn for me though im sure the husband enjoyed catching up with his family and the boys playing with their cousins. @_@.

im counting down to this weekend already!

hot video! beat that, gaga!
