Baby Fair @ Expo

Hubby and I went to the baby fair at Expo last Sunday. I chose the last day as it is Easter Sunday and many people will be going to the church. It was a good choice as it was really less crowded.

The place is very spacious and we could walk around comfortably. :)

There were some good buys. I managed to buy those button front night gowns to wear in the hospital, a denim skirt and a blouse. Prices were really cheap! After looking at different cots, we decided on one. We also signed up for Stemcord and bought some other stuff for baby.

A good day of shopping and relaxing!

My off days....

Took leave last Thurs and Fri. Hubby was on leave for the entire week. I can only managed to take 2 days and work from home when needed.


We decided to go IMM on Thurs to shop for household stuff.. First, we had lunch at a restaurant - Taiwan Express. The 三杯雞, 炸豆腐 and mixed fruit tea are very good. 嚕肉飯 and 雞排 are acceptable. But the 蚵仔大腸麵線 is disappointing...

After filling up our stomaches, we went to look at TVs at Gain City... Gather some info there. Then we went to Best Denki to look at refrigerators. Took down the prices and details too... Went to Daiso and then proceed with our bed hunting. We started with Sealy, then to Simmons and finally Serta.... All 3 are besides one another. Finally we settled with Serta King mattress. Worth the buy and with lots of freebies too. :)

Wanted to have coffee after that. We went to Ah Mei Cafe and rested for a while. Hubby had wanted to buy a massage chair for our new home. After a day, a week's stress.... can relax......
We went to OTO first. Tried on the machine and was impressed. But I think should also try OSIM. The UDesire at OSIM is better... space saving too.... Price is very reasonable and we were given a free head massenger too. Service at OSIM was much better too....

Bought two items on Thurs... We then drove back to Woodlands. Had dinner, shopped for a while and watched the movie - Clash of the Titans. It is the 3D version... Quite a good try, except that the specs keep coming off.... ^o^

Friday's itinerary..... Brought both mums to Tang Gah temple at Bukit Purmei to pray and we had lor mee for brunch... We headed to Balestier to look at lightnings after that. Got lots of useful info from one of the shops there. Very pleased.... I wanted to eat the Loong Fatt Tau Sah Piah and hubby parked along the road and I bought 8 from the shop..... Next, we went to Gain City at AMK to look at air-con and other electrical applicances. Did not buy any yet. Got more info and brochures for reference..... Since we were at AMK, hubby drove to the central and we bought the Tip Top curry puffs.... All for lunch cum tea break..... Yum Yum!

It was mahjong session after we reached home.... All of us have fun! At about 8 plus, hubby drove us to Sembawang to have fishhead steamboat and zhi char..... Good food!!

Well spent leave....... :p

Love is in the air, at Singapore Flyer....

Hubby and I wanted to have dinner on Friday - 13 Feb 09. To avoid the crowd on 14 Feb.... :p

In the morning, hubby told me we will go to the Singapore Flyer... Yeah!! I was surprised.....

We had wanted to take the ride for quite some time.... I think we should at least experience once.... Keke!

Met hubby at the ticketing office at 7 pm. He has already booked the package..... We were one of the VIPs... Wah.....

I took several pictures of the Flyer, before it turns dark.... Being the VIP, we were entitled to express boarding, bypass the usual queue. Yippee!!!! We were brought to a special waiting area for the ride. The person in charge told us that it is about 42 storeys high!! Scary....

For our flight, we had the signature cocktail with strawberries. This is the first time I had cocktail...Bitter but not too bad. Lucky hubby chose the strawberry cocktail package instead of the champagne one. He knows that I love strawberries ..... But I only managed to drink half a glass.... My face already feels hot!!! 真没用。。。Hahaha..... We also had a pair of cocktail glasses and heart-shaped chocolate pralines in the package....





The flight was pleasant.... Beautiful view above.... I took lots of pictures and videos during the 30 mins ride. We could not even feel that it is moving..... There were love songs played in the cubicle too.... As we drank the cocktail and ate nuts, we chat and enjoyed the awesome view.... Also, I love the colours on the Flyer. They were ever changing....So beautiful.....

After the ride, we had dinner at Hibiki Japanese restaurant.... Food was not too bad. We love the shabu shabu the most....

The F1 track is just next to the Flyer. We strolled along the track and I took some pictures and video again..... There were many couples there too....

We went to Kbox @Cineleisure after that. One of the brokers had invited the operations personnel of different companies. Hubby's company is one of them. We were amused that we had to queue to use the lifts. I always know that Cineleisure is crowded on Fridays and weekends. But I never expect that there are even controls set up in place for using the lifts! Hahaha.....

I met up with several of my ex-colleagues there. Hubby and I were "forced" to sing too.... They selected “今天你要嫁给我” and “你最珍贵” for us. Paiseh paiseh..... Kekeke!

It was a fun night... My first V day celebration with lao gong..... ; ) Cheers......

~ A short getaway ~

It's Friday!! ; p

Finally have some time to update my blog today.... Hee!

My hubby to be and I went on a cruise - Star Aquarius for 5D4N Penang/Phuket from 13 to 17 Apr 08. He needs to clear some leave and a break from work. This is the first time for me and I was excited... Star Aquarius underwent 9 months of refurbishment and is now in Singapore. Star Virgo, the bigger ship is deployed to Hong Kong for 6 months...








We reached Harbourfront at about 10 a.m and had breakfast at Han's. After check-in, we shopped around Viviocity. The queue at the boarding area was really long...Kiasu people!!



HTB said dun have to join the queue... So we wait nearby and when we heard the announcement for boarding, we just go in front and joined the rest of the people. In the end, the original queue was all messed up! Lucky we didn't join the queue!! Haha...

We have up to 6 meals a day - breakfast, morning tea, lunch, high tea, dinner and supper. It is up to you to eat! But the condition is that you cannot have a meal more than once in different restaurants. For.e.g. you can't have dinner 2 times at different restaurants... If not, they sure lugi... Hee! So HTB and I planned what to have and which restaurant to go for our meals each day.... Breakfast and lunch are usually intercontinental. We tried Indian cuisine for lunch one of the days. Dinner is Chinese cuisine. We tried outdoor BBQ dinner too.

Below are some pics of our food ....Yummy!!! Especially dinner at Dynasty Restaurant...

During this trip, I really love the seaview... It is beautiful and we feel so relaxing.....

~ Reaching Penang ~

~ Beautiful sunset ~











I was quite surprised that there are actually many things we can do onboard the ship. HTB and I went for Swedish massage (at a discounted price of $75 per pax for 1 hr) and KTV for 2 hours ($60 with 8 cans of soft drinks, 1 jug of fruit punch, satay and a big plate of fruits). We went to the casino too but didn't manage to win money.... Haa! There are also gym, childcare centre, hair saloon, medicure/pedicure shop etc.

~ Its KTV time !! ~



~ HTB trying to "catch" soft toy for me ~



~ Yeah!! He got it !! ~



The live band onboard was very good. They sang very well and we enjoyed it. We also particpate in games and the shows in the evening. On the last night, the crew actually performed themselves. We realised that there were a lot of talents among them.

~ Free welcome drinks at the lounge ~



~ Bingo game... almost won!! ~





We disembarked at Penang and Phuket on the 14th and 15th respectively. There are several land tours we can choose from. Initially we chose heritage and shopping for Penang. But when we reach Penang, we were told that our coach has left. So we can only choose shopping. I was a little disappointed but the shopping tour was fun too. It is only until the next day when we heard from those who went for the heritage tour that when they reach the second temple, it was already closed. They were complaining because they could not get the refund. It was a blessing in disguise for us! Hee!


~ Penang streets ~



~ Patong beach, Phuket ~



~ Visited cashew nut factory in Phuket. This is the cashew nut fruit !! ~

~ Shopping in Phuket... Took a pic with my fav... My Melody..

kawaii!! ~

Overall, it was an enjoyable short getaway... A different experience too... Get to enjoy seaview and some shopping... Hope that we can go onboard Star Virgo for another cruise trip !!

~ On our way back home ... decided to take a video of the ship ~
