Gosh this is bad, i havent been blogging for a while :( Quite a lot has been happening. Baby (my lovable dog) was sick with a infected uterus so we rushed her to the nearest vet & they said she needed surgery. It went fine, she's alive & recovering now, but apparently on the operating table she died & had to be revived. There was apparently only a 10% chance of surviving that & she did. Baby is a fighter, she has the will to live & i am seriously thanking the lord for that. I dont know what i'll do without her. She isnt as responsive (i honestly think she's a bit deaf now), kinda weak now, but it's only been a few days. I really hope she gets better.

Sad news aside, i finally don't have to teach Nicholas anymore! Hurrayeee, one problem child done & i gained another! Got a new tutee, this really adorable Korean girl & she's really smart. I dont know why she needs tuition but her mum insists. Anyway she stays at Nic's condo, so i could just pop by to see her if she's around, hehe all good!

I'm going to Taiwan in abt a week's & i cant wait :D So psyched to go, been waiting for so long & now it's just 9 days to go! Im gonna stuff myself silly & come back rounder than ever. Cant wait to spend all that time with my darling Colin; we've been better than ever lately. Life is good.

Ta!

First up - mushroom soup! Really creamy & full of mushroom goodness

Grilled sea bass, not bad but a tad too fishy!

Grilled chicken, it's a heart shape! This was nice, plain but yumms :)

My hunny bunny!

I'm homeeee, well fed (sorta, am still a tad hungry) & tired! Woke up really early today, around 10am *gasp! Just to meet Shona for an early lunch. Headed to plaza sing, i was late again as usual oops :( Went to firstday & try on thevelvetdolls' shorts, she looked really good in it so we're waiting for the online launch, it'll be much cheaper to get it there! Or we hope so anyway.. Had macs for lunch, took photos again, i truely enjoy hanging out with her :)

Words just cannot describe how much i love love love Colin :) Everything has been so great between us lately, despite the minor disagreements. I really believe that i've changed, at least just a bit. It's an excellent start. There are no more insecurities, there are no more demands, no more fights abt the guys, etc. Honestly speaking, there are only rainbows & unicorns & everyth else funky. I really am happy, it feels like the honeymoon period again but it's even better. I am just so happy, bahah!

Old photo but a lovely one still <3

On the other hand, my tutees are seriously making me wonder if i should get another job >:( But what's life without some downs with the ups right? I guess i have to be content with having at least a few areas in my life that's going well. Anyway, my rompers are here & they are fabulous <3 They remind me of origami hahaha for some reason. & i'm so glad i got 2 pieces, i really love love them! This makes up for the faulty unlaunched collection of CWC & missing out on Love Bonito's dress oh well >:( Shall not buy anymore clothes till i head to TW! & since Neekee is coming back with a haul for me (or so i hope..), i should save some money for upcoming dates with her :)

Meeting Shona tmr for brunch, can't wait! I really enjoy spending time with that girl. Then meeting Martin after, for coffee or maybe a snack or someth. & then finally am meeting my partner in crime, Fathiah aka Commander Spock :D Wish the other girls could join us but oh well, it'll be just like old times, i miss our weekly wednesday dates we used to have before she started school. Tmr will be an excellent day :)

More photos tmr, ta!

Boring, boring, boring past few days :( Nothing much has been happening except tuitions + hehe, getting my pays :) Bought 2 rompers from thevelvetdolls, i just couldn't decide on which colour i wanted so i got 2. I can't blame it to impulsiveness though, i had a good few hours to decide so it's just indecisiveness. But then again, my motto: When in doubt, get both. I am seriously living by that! :D


Aren't they pretty? I was also considering the magenta one but since Fenny is getting that in the same size, i decided against it. I could just borrow from her anyway, hehe! Wanted to get this pretty midi skirt from catwalkclose but their site crashed today & in the end, they're postponing the launch. Was really disappointed, i had my heart set on that skirt but oh well, le sigh. Nothing much i can do abt it now except wait. But well, saved some money, so it's not all heartbreaking!

Nelly & i created our own blogshop - it's quite cute to be honest, she's only 13 & a budding entrepreneur already! Quite proud of her & she's really quite determined. Just hope that this doesn't affect her grades, else i'll probably be 330 dollars short a month if her parents fire me :( Nicholas (her brother), is getting a little more used to me i think. He's starting to put in some effort in his work & his latest essay i made him do was quite well done! But i really think i need to be more assertive towards them. They can be really rude sometimes & it's starting to bug me, ugh. & also YingYing & Shi Hui are getting demanding! This has to stop, i must assert myself. ROAR ASSERT!!

That's abt it for now, just wanted to keep this place a little more alive. I have to blog constantly else i'll lose my motivation & stop blogging again, pfft. Till tmr or someth, ta!

Ordered quite a bit of food! Appetizers, main courses & desserts! I absolutely love Bakerzin & im so glad their standard is consistent at every outlet! & once we placed our orders, the food came in around 5 mins, really fast for such a crowded place & they were understaffed too (the chefs were waiting on tables!). We also signed up for their card & managed to get 20% off the bill instantly since it was my mum's birthday month. Feast your eyes on their delectable delights:

Yummy free flow bread!

Daddy's seafood glass noodle salad

Baked chicken wings to share, this is so yum!

Colin's cabonara - this is fab!

Mine: Aglio Olio with mushrooms! You can choose your topping :)

Seafood pizza, such a big pizza!

Daddy's banana split with rum & raisin, caramel & black sesame ice cream!

Bakerzin's signature new york cheesecake

The total bill came up to abt 90+ after our 20% discount. I guess that's okay, since we really ordered a lot of food & it was for four hungry people. Okay three since my mum didn't eat much as usual. But they're having a promotion now, for all DBS / POSB debit & credit card holders, you'll get a 10% discount with a minimum spending of $30 :) But if you sign up for their card (twenty bucks) you'll get a lot more perks! 10% discount with no minimum spending, 20% discount on your bday month & $60 worth of vouchers upfront :) It's really quite worth it, will be signing up for another card on Colin's bday hehe.

Happiness in a cup

Birthday girl & daddy!

The food wasn't that bad, but it was very expensive! Ordered quite a lot of food though, but the bill came up to almost 300 bucks. Then again, it was for six of us & each of us had an appetizer & some drinks. Dad ordered this coffee, blue mountain coffee & for a tiny cup it was 16 bloody dollars! Goodness, it's just coffee. So both Rae & Jo ordered salads:

Jo's tuna salad! Looks like roast beef to me lol.

Rae's mushroom someth someth salad, looks yum!

My mozzarella sticks! Ate like 4 pieces before i remembered to take a picture.

My god the cheese sticks were fab, fab, fab. For 10 bucks you get around 10 pieces of chewy cheesy goodness, oh yum yum yum i could have devoured the whole plate by myself but meh, had to share. Lol selfish greedy me >:( Dad & mum both had soups which i didnt take photos of :( Then came the main courses!

Aunty Rea's lemongrass fish, yum!

Dad's beef sandwich thing! Seafood (prawn & scallop) aglio olio, both Jo & I got this, so yumzzz! Colin's spicy chicken pasta! Not bad but very tomato-heavy. Lastly, mum's mushroom pasta!

I also ordered this peach-passionfruit tea freeze thing but it tasted quite bad to be honest :\ I gave it to someone else to drink in the end lol. Tasted like artificial almonds, ick >:( Overall, the food was good, abt 17 on average per main course. I would definitely go back there if i had more money or just to leech off my parents, aha! My dad brought my mum's presents too - she got such expensive toys this year! An iPad 2, a canon ixus digital camera (such a nice red), 2 watches & a wallet. My dad really went all out this year for her!

Rae & Jo!

Random camwhoring shot

Headed to Maccafe after that for some drinks & just to chat. Rae & Jo were asking my mum abt houses & all, hum hum it'll be a long time more before Colin & i settle down though! Played mj with Colin while the rest talked, haha. No photos of Colin & i - he insists he looks too fat so.. To be honest though, we both gained quite a bit of weight, time to lose it now bubba!

Okay cant resist, shall post up a happy one, though he has absolutely no eyes here, baha! Till tmr then, heading to bakerzin, this time it'll be Colin & my treat for my mum & dad since we didn't get her a present. Ta! :)
