Dear Dear went to Cambodia this morning. I wish I am going, too.
Hope that he will enjoy the trip and we shall go there backpacking next time round ;p

Driving
Driving test is on next friday, yet I have not properly mastered lane changing. I wonder how it will go on that day...

Work
The 1st week of my job training had just passed, another 1 week to go.
My colleagues are all nice people. I know 1/4 of them before work started, haha!!!
3/4 of us are from NTU, so it is like a gathering for us. We sit in the class like the way we did in NTU. The only difference is that, besides lunch, we sit there the whole day. My butt will get bigger soon, gotta exercise!

We have our own assigned laptop, brand new ones! I still remember those days when my cousin told me that she had to carry very heavy laptop to work. So, i guess we are lucky ;p

I missed our netball gathering today due to menstral cramp... It had been such a long time since i had gotten terrible cramp like this... and it came at a very wrong timing. Haiz... I wonder how coach and her kids are doing now.

Hopefully, there will be another outing again!

Celebrated Father's Day at Ju Ju at Paradiz Centre. Steamboat Dinner.
The portion of each set meal is big enough for 2 to share. There were 7 of us and we had problem finishing the 5 sets that we had ordered. Each set costs 29.85+++, so it's came out to be about $35 per set.

I was impressed with a very helpful chinese waiter working in that restaurant. His service is really good, always ready to assist u or to answer your doubt.

The meal began...
There's a starter, which was an egg and a clam i think.
The main dishes.. Dumplings, seafood set...
Beef set. My father couldn't wait to start eating. Fish set. This place is recommended by my sis.
The veggies. My mum, she loves this kind of gathering. Got food and every family members are present.

My brother and his girlfriend, Jane. Jane stopped my brother from eating too much, haha!
My Dear Dear, wearing qing lv zhuang with me, keke...
Me, just got a new haircut on Monday. I took off my spectacles as they had become misty due to the steam from the hot soup.
There were a drink and a dessert included in the set, too.
Here's all of us! My sis's boyfriend, Kun Xiong, was on duty and could not come down for the dinner. If not, there would have been 4 couples ;p
Besides the meal, a $100 cash was given to my dad as Father's Day gift.
Look at his wide smile ;p

I went to meet Dear Dear at Royston's house after my driving.
Royston's mum babysits a girl named Le Xuan, and now she also babysits Le Xuan's brother, Le Tian, who is only 4mths old.

Royston and Le Tian with a stunned look

Le Tian and I. The weather was so hot that day such that I became darker just after a 15-min walk from my house to the MRT Station!
The 2 big babies and little Le Tian.

It's cookies baking day.
Here's a recipe from the book that Kev bought from the book fair at suntec. Getting ready the ingredients and all the tools that we need.
Before the mixture was placed into the microwave...

Now you can see the shape of a cookie :)
The 1st batch of cookies is out... Chocolate Chips Cookies!
I went to rest a while after that whereas Dear Dear continued to make the 2nd batch of cookies.

Here's the 2nd batch of cookies... The White Chocolate Chips Cookies!

They look okay, but were too soft and spongy unlike normal cookies. I think we will have to revise the recipe, we must have gone wrong somewhere while making the cookies...

We went to Serangoon Broadway to collect our academic dresses. When we were taking Bus no. 154, I became unsure about the stop to alight. So i went to ask the bus captain which is the stop that is opposite the Serangoon Fire Station. The bus captain told me that I took the wrong bus and asked us to alight so as to change to another bus.

I panicked and asked Dear Dear to alight the bus, as I thought I took the wrong bus. After alighting, we checked the information board and realised that bus no. 154 does go to the bus stop opp the serangoon fire station!! Anyway, we boarded another bus. Serangoon Broadway is actually located very near to Kallang Bahru.

Serangoon Broadway was quite far from the bus stop we alighted, even though it was within sight. Dashing across the road would be a shortcut but it is better not to try that. So we walked further down, crossed the bridge and walked down a path before crossing another road to our destination. Then i realised that 154 is the only bus we can take that stops right in front of shops beside Serangoon Broadway! What to do... i should have checked the bus route properly before we came out.

After the collection of the academic dresses, we walked to the Central of Kallang Bahru.

Walking pass the Kallang River... The hawker centre at the central was closed for washing. So, we went to Hans to have our lunch.

It was quite tiring as the sun was scorching outside, so we just slack there for a while even though we had finished our meal. I am glad that I have settled one more thing before my work begins.

For the past 2 days, Dear dear and I had been watching the anime, Vision of Escaflowne. It is a nice anime even though its ending is rather abrupt.

In the late afternoon, Jan suddenly called us and would like to come all the way to Bedok to have a meal with us. So we introduced him to Bedok 85, one of the most famous eating place.

The more famous Bah Chor Mee stall was not opened that day, so we bought the noodles from the stall next to it. We had also ordered Hokkein Fried Noodle, BBQ Sotong and my favourite Grilled Chicken Wings :)
Every outing with Jan = a lot of food = Very Full = Weight increase. HAHA!
Jan has become a photo whore recently. Hmm... I was almost influenced by him.
Anyway, take more pictures now before my working life begins may be a good idea too ;p

We went to Bugis to thank the goddess for her blessings.
Here is a famous fishball stall that we found last year. Every morning the queue is so long and it is never ending. Wanna try? It is at si4 ma3 lu4 hawker centre, $2.50 per bowl. Must be there before 10.30am wor!
Here's the noodle. It's handmade, tt's why taste better.
After visiting the temple, we bought the ingredients that we needed to cook our "Fish with Salsa", we went back to my house and start preparing the dish.

The salsa taste sour, a bit funny. I am not very used to its taste. Still, we finished everything.

Lesson learnt: If u wanna cook tasty food, please do not pick the recipe from a Dietary Recipe Book. Healthy food and tasty food can never meet eye to eye most of the time.

We met up with Uncle Philip and Bernard at Swissotel Merchant Court Market Cafe to have lunch buffet together.
This is one of the best food there i think: The durian! Does not look very nice, but taste really good :)
Dear Dear's dessert spread. He took almost each of every dessert.
One last picture before leaving the cafe.
Playing with Uncle Philip's Sunglass at the lobby... Thks for the treat, Uncle Philip.
Kev, Man in black...
My turn... Nice???
Ah ma's turn. Hee hee hee, Dear Dear made Ah ma wear it.
Bernard trying it too... Looks like Uncle philip when he was young? All right, enough of playing. Sunglasses returned to its rightful owner, Uncle Philip.
After the sinful buffet (Dear dear and I shared 3 bowls of the durian!), we decided to burn some calories... so we went blading again
Dear dear's attempt to lean forward and brake.
Dear dear is on form today even though he had a few falls.
I am always the one carrying the bag... Will make dear dear carries it once he master blading ;p
Here we are, sitting on the table tennis table at his void deck.

Blading is a good sports. Not too tiring, but have some effect on training ur legs and ur butt ;p
