What's a great birthday gift?

My friends find me hard to shop for. This year, I got a Forever 21 e-gift certificate from them as my birthday present. My order is at Vpost currently. I'm waiting for my Drugstore.com order to arrive before I ship them back to Singapore.

So what did I buy? (or should I say what did my friend's e-gift certificate get me?) Here's some pictures of what I bought. I went overboard with the shopping and went over the amount given to me. Oh well.....

I would like to that my girls for this. Awesome birthday present :)

Hotel Living

Some pictures of the hotel from my most recent trip.

Hotel living is fine for a while, after a while,
I look forward to going home.















Glass Elevators. You'd probably not want to stay here if you have a fear of heights!





Often in hotels, I set up my "workstation".
Here's my work area at the beginning of the trip



Here it is on the last night before I flew back to Singapore.

Messy I know.

And yes, I was watching Glee :)



I attended this super huge fashion exhibition.
Imagine 3 times the size of Singapore Expo.
Will post pictures I took at the exhibition next time.
It's almost 4am and I need to go to bed!

Good night world.

Krabi - May 2010

Krabi pictures from last month. I am super slow in posting, I know :)

Christina and me on our way to Hong Island. Super sleepy at this point of time.
We stayed up late the night before. Not totally awake yet!



Christina has wind in her hair!


Somehow, I love this picture.



We saw loads and loads of humongous jelly fishes in open waters!
Cannot imagine getting stung by one of them.
Oh, Christina got stung on the face by a baby jelly fish. LOL.



The long tail boats that we took!



We asked the boat men to jump into the water for the shot and they did.
Christina is behind the boat man. She jumped too but cannot see her!



Here's a shot of Christina jumping into the water!



Us in the water + one boat man.



Fish frenzy!



More next time!

Mr Tantric @ Zirca

Friday, my friend Christina bought tickets as a favor to someone for this man pageant at Zirca on Sunday. Contestants came out dressed in work overalls and helmets with flash lights. We watched for a while and got disinterested very soon.





Drag queen doing hosting duties. Very very talkative. I tuned out after a while.



The drinks. How else to pass the time.



Then we started to play with the lighting!





Oh my pretty jug! More lighting at play.

Le Le Pot 乐乐锅 Steamboat Dinner

Met my cousins for dinner, together with my brother at Le Le Pot!

乐乐锅 is at 58 Seng Poh Rd #01-23, just opposite Tiong Bahru Market.



Time to order!



We had the herbal chicken soup and the laksa soup.



Beef slices ... love!



Prawns (the pic makes them look bigger than they are! Hah!)



Crab roll or something like that, I cannot remember the name off hand now. Sorry!



3 layer pork (directly translated!)



We all loved the fried man tou with condensed milk.... really yum!

Pizza Sunday

On Sunday, the weather was so hot that venturing outdoors did not seem a good idea. So, it's time to order pizza. We decided on Canadian Pizza, trying 2 flavors we have not tried before.

The Mexican Fiesta pizza! Lean ground beef, chilli, capsicum!




And the Chicken Fajita pizza with Fajita Spiced Chicken, Onions, Capsicum and salsa.



Close up of the Mexican Fiesta. I preferred this over the Chicken Fajita one :)

Dental scaling for my dog soon!

One of my dogs is scheduled for a dental scaling next week. The vet said she has to do a consultation before I can make an appointment for dental scaling.

The consultation + blood test cost $147+

This is not including the cost of the dental scaling which I am estimating to be around $200-$300? Hopefully not more than that. Dogs have to be anesthetized for this. Will be dropping her off at the vet in the morning and picking her just before dinner time.

On a lighter note, my dog is obese and is now on veterinary fat burners.

Oh yeah, I kid you not.

The Mexican Taco Bar @ Plaza by the Park

Went to The Mexican Taco Bar @ Plaza by the Park to have Mexican food with my brother. It was pretty good, I has a beef burrito set that came with a soup. It's only $7.90 for the set! Food was pretty yummy, my brother loved it and wants to go back again soon.

If you're interested, here's where they are located at:

51 Bras Basah Road, Plaza By The Park
