Christmas Blessings

Seasons' Greetings!

This was taken on Christmas afternoon at the park connecter.

Was on the way to do some shopping, have Christmas dinner with Alvin's family and catch Avatar when I spotted these 2 toadstools along the sidewalk!
Kinda special to me since I haven't seen anything like these since I moved here -- Christmas Toadstools!


Christmas Eve morning was spent at Hideaway Spa - Thai Massage in Phuket with darling!
Had a great time doing lunch at Patong Beach after that. Yum yum yum. Tom yam. Hurhur.
Shall blog on our Phuket trip soon!

Meanwhile, I bought myself the legendary fragrance, Chanel No.5 Eau de Parfum, for Christmas at Duty Free!
*Egad* it's pricy, but it has a soft floral musk scent which I desire! Heh.


Alright, till then!

Merry Merry Christmas to one and all!
God Bless for the year ahead!

XOXO,
Emily

Elfiano the Owl

Dedicated to Alvin darLIN.

He got me BAMBOO for Christmas! (MUACKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssss!)
He didn't even ask me what I want fer Christmas.. and till now, I still haven't a faintest idea what to give him (plus all my other friends too) for Christmas! (*ashamed* haha)
It's my earliest, most expensive and best Christmas present to date!
Ho-ho-ho!

I share my joy by drawing Elfiano the Owl.
(It was the first thing I drew when I installed Bamboo)

It's my first time trying out, thus my pen strokes are still shaky. It's difficult drawing on the tablet whilst staring on the screen! Needs lot of practice.

If you're an expert at Bamboo, please give me advice (like how to draw the purrfect line)!

Much appreciated!
Muchas gracias!

XoXo,
Emily

Giant Q-Tips - Part Deux

OOOOOoo.
Didn't expect Alvin's dad to actually give me a pot of cotton plant.
(see back post: Giant Q-Tips)

At first it didn't take too well to it's new site, its leaves were turning all yellow and brown.
Thankfully my dad suspected the yellowing maybe due to the harsh sunlight (and not the lack of fertiliser) so we brought it under the shade and here it is now blooming happily away at my house!

I expect more cotton bolls (no I did not mispell) in December as there are many new buds emerging!




What you see here are now ready for harvest!
In fact, these cotton bolls are ready for harvest a few months back.

But I couldn't bear to pluck them out.
Might as well, as I do not know what to do with them nor have I the knowledge to spin them into yarn or make them into Q-Tips.


So there, I'd leave them as they are and wonder if they'd just fall off the branch some day to produce a new generation of cotton plants..

Blueberry Cheesecake - Have you got yours?

'TO THE LIMS, PLEASE EAT ME!'

I've no idea what message to be put on the cake, so there!
It's a treat fer my household of 7 sans Jasmine who doesn't like cakes.


They love it!

Been indulging it fer the past 2 days!
Heavenly!..


Go to bakerzin.com to brighten up your loved ones' day too!
(Oct's specials - to be purchased online and requires 2 working days fer self collection)

HP USB Port

CUTE not??!

Name: Cum PokeMe
Gender: Shemale
Traits: 4 holes and a ribbon with extended **** on it's head


I was planing to get a COMPACT USB Port (cause Mac Book Pro only has 2 pathetic ports) but I was given this instead!


Received Cum PokeMe as a souvenir for sending my HP laptop for repair.
(It's so big, it's so, so ting teh!! - wastage of space. I'm leaving Cum PokeMe at home for good)


Basically, the coming to 3 years old HP laptop is now just as good as brand new but stuck in an old shell.
Motherboard changed, DVD driver changed.. and what have you at no cost.
Glad that I bought the 3 year protection plan which it expires this December.

It'd be passed on to my mum fer her to watch dramas online now!

Bubbly Mid Autumn - 11th Oct

It was a week after Mid Autumn Festival; nevertheless Hui Ying took this opportunity to call for a Mid Autumn gathering as well as to celebrate Kian Wee's 23rd birthday!

Held at Darryl's place, near Dempsey area, I am surprised to find many foreign ambassadors' residence here. (I'm an Eastie)
Many owned large guard dogs.

Darryl has a dog too, a young frisky Beagle who went around eating mooncakes on the table.




Ain't Kian Wee's cake special?
A moooncake pyramid with a fire sparkler for a candle.




Group shot here.
Trying to do various hand signs to state "K" & "W" and another with "K-I-A-N-W-E-E".

Somehow, we posed like Power Rangers.




Classic candid snapshot. I like.
Alvin took us unprepared for the camera.

Look at Kian Wee's expression and Chuan Dian still trying to figure out how to a "N" with his fingers.




Had a looong stroll after the zi char dinner and mooncakes.
Miao brought some bubble solution bottles along and we had a great time blowing those bubbles.
It was kinda surreal, blowing bubbles along the heavily guarded streets.
The carefree and wonderful feeling was however not very well captured in the photos.

O yes, some of us stopped over for ice-cream at Dempsey's Ben & Jerry's which was where I won the Halloween's Trick or Treat Bus Tour.
Talking about that made me think of my missed goodies. Hmph.

Red Pig Korean Restaurant! - 2nd Oct

While doing my site studies at Ann Siang Hill, I stumbled upon this Korean BBQ eatery!~
Hence I made up my mind that fer the following site visit, Alvin should tag along. Heh


Fast forward..


The eatery's run by a Korean lady, whose bevy of waitresses are also Koreans!
The interior setting; the atmosphere feels exactly like any typical eateries offering samgyeopsal in Korea!

We felt like we had teleport to korea that very moment we stepped in..
We're a minority in there. (even the majority of customers are Koreans)

By Alvin's request, I tried ordering dinner in Korean.
Well done Emily, I passed. *smirked*

So pleased with myself until the waitress had to confirmed my order in Korean and rattled another string of sentence which I totally couldn't understand.

"Sorry?"
Hahahaha!
Sheesh. HURrr!


Well, food wise, it serves free flow of water and banchans (side dish), especially my beloved kaeran (egg) roll, here.
And I get to eat one of my favourites in a Korean BBQ restaurant - BBQed garlic slices!
My, you've to try! Thinly sliced BBQed garlic tastes reaaal good, "like snacks" my Korean friends would say.

But when it comes to the main (ordered 2 types), the bbqed/grilled layered here's nothing compared to ones I ate in Korea. (Kept having them with Papa at Korea in July [o yes, blog about it.. 9 days? no time la] till he was sick of bbqed/grilled stuff.. Wahahaha) Alvin said it was good; he doesn't know better.
It's a tad too dry here, the meat's supposed to be juicy at non-fatty parts and crunchy at the edges! Bah, I'm not good at writing a food review, but you get what I mean.

Nevertheless, it was a nice experience overall and it's darling's maiden (hurhur) visit to a Korean bbq eatery too! Kinda memorable fer him to eat bbqed pork wrapped in lettuce and dipped in special sauces.

Someone, recommand me a superb and reasonably priced (~$30/pax) Korean BBQ/Grill restaurant in sunny Singapore!
I miss authentic Korean BBQ/Grilled food!

On Children's Day..

This was what we did on 1st Oct.

LOL.

It was an accident.

I REALLY meant to type 'I love you', but somehow typed 'l l' and pressed the send button a tad too fast.

Wanted to reply I was not refering to Lan Lan Suck Thumb (Singlish = Nothing can be done) as 'l l' can be 'lan lan' and the next thing I knew, I suddenly saw it as a whole, a picture, A SNOUT!


Sending snouts every now and then now.
It replaces >> -.-

Hurhurhur.
This happened on Children's Day, how apt, childish.
