my $32 Dollars Laksa

Today's Lunch Menu: Super Laksa recommended by Cafe Brios' Chef

looks yummie?? heee... e most expensive laksa i've eaten

Speciality: Comes with Lobster pieces, Prawns, Scallops etc

The Taste: Average only, nothing spectacular. Basically you pay for the seafood.

The Presentation: Good! Looks yummie & you just feel like taking a bite.

Overall: After taxes, this bowl of super laksa cost $32!! Hmm, i don't think i will pay on my own for this bowl of laksa... Think i prefer those 3 buckeros famous Katong Laksa, heee.... :)

we're at Mount Faber

Next >> Kent Ridge Park

We rested awhile at Mount Faber and next, we decided to go for a 'spin'. KM suggested a place that has nice residential area & view.. so we drove up to a place near Pasir Panjang - which when we were there, found out that it's Kent Ridge Park. Yeap, my first time there too :p

We are at Kent Ridge Park!

Our Canopy Walk

Next last two places we went for the day was Sunset Way for dinner & to KTV. But we ended our KTV session earlier cos Mr. G is not too well & yeap.. he's now sound asleep after 2 vomits... *Xerene is praying hard that he don't vomit again* I too, have to go turn in le - having event tomorrow. Nitey everyone :)

Taiwan Trip Confirmed!

Yeappie... first thing, we got a call from the agency few days back that our Taiwan trip has been firmed and today, we need to go down to make e balance payment + attend some briefing.

Okie, Mr. G has agreed to be my sponsor for shopping in Taiwan ~ Hurray!! i luv ya my 'sugar daddy'!! wahahaha....

Basically, today is a pack day for me... Becos tomorrow is our friend, Melissa & Binson's big day & we need to go get gifts for them. Next myself, i haven't got a dress yet... oooOps.. So i'm hoping to do some last minute shopping.

After e briefing, while Mr. G went to his tuition, i quickly take some time to do my manicure & by time we reach Marina Square, it was close to 8pm - quite late le.

1st Stop: Food Station - Makan!
2nd Stop: Buy a Card
3rd Stop: Buy a Gift
4th Stop: Buy my dress

gifts for their coming wedding use

Phew... we completed all these things within 1 & half hours, hee heee.... For me now, after a looong day outside, i need to rest for tomorrow & do something important --> my mask! :)

Yeah! Mr. G is Back!

Heee... finally after 6 days at Dubai, Mr. G is back home!

Actually me wanted to wake up at 5am to go pick him up at airport & surprise him... but..... Erm, when i woke up, it was pouring soooooo heavily. Hee.... so i decided to wait for him back instead since he had also planned to get breakfast for me on his way back.

Didn't go much place today, except to Orchard the whole afternoon & watch a movie - which we slept there! Not because we are v.tired... but the show... sigh, really quite disappointing; too dry.

on our way to Takashimaya

Unpleasant Taxi Ride

*NC16 rating - Before you proceed to read this, pls note that this post has "valgur content".

Okie, as you can read from the post title, this is about a cab driver i've just met. I popped in to his cab after my coffee session with my colleagues.


The Scene: It was around 1am & e cab had a strong 'cigaratte smell'.... i mean i don't really mind but when he (an indian driver) starts talking... my mouth just Zipped!


Taxi: *NBCH*, that F**ker... he want to play right! I will play with him! Jus now i only one person, nevermind.... i call my friends already! They all stand by.

Later i'm going down to find him... This F**ker ang-mo, tink what! They come here try to play isit!! Go back their country lah! They tink they very good??!! They r rubbish! *CB*


*Xerene just kept silence.... don't wanna irritate him or prop him anything... feeling abit scared also... thinking "will he beat me up if i irritate him???" - calling for HELPPP inside my heart

Taxi: *NB*..... I now veri angry... I tell u ah... these 3 F***ker jus now never pay me e call-booking $$. Just throw me $5!! KNN!! Now still got mid nite - wat throw me $5 & run away??!! *CB*! Tink wat! Don't need to pay?! U tell me lah...


...... oooops.... he asked me....... well, i know irritating him or arguing with him is definitely a no-no... so xerene decides to 'fakely' sing-a-long with him abit....


Me: Ya lah.. tis people also.. aiyoh.. how can they just don't pay up & run away... Think u call police lah


Taxi: *CB* ang-mo, they think they wat! all rubbish!!


Taxi: Police?! Huh! they so slow! Nvrmind, i noe where he stay... xxx condominum... tonite 3 - 4 o'clock... i will go there wait for him... but i park my taxi far away... *NB*, i sure whack him later!!

... he continues, continues & continues.....

Nevermind.. he go MOS now... i know where he stay! my friends all ready liao, later tonight we sure WHACK him!! *CB* They tink wat! Come Singapore try to play around! In Singapore, u do anything sure can catch u one...

Jus go back to ur country lah! *CB* ang-mo

Yes... he keep repeating all e valgur words & story again & again.....

Terrible terrible.... YES, my ears just suffered in the whole ride & all I just want is to reach home fast & safe :(

Finally..... i reach & i said "Oh ya, you can U-turn (there is sign) here & i stopped at bus stop."

Taxi: U wan to U-turn......? (Me: yup, just U-turn & stop at the bus stop) .....

Taxi: U wan to U-turn ah......but i want to drink coffee leh....

Ah....... Help.... what can i say? No??? Sigh..... Because aparantly if he U-turns & drop me at the bus stop, he need to make a big round to go back to the coffee shop. Well.... so in the end, i said don't need to U-turn which i have to walk slightly further up....

I seriously felt he is quite 'over' in this matter, another words - typical egoistic guy who doesn't know how to control his emotion. Worst, working at the front line.

Well since he said 'in Singapore you cant run away' - then why did he keep annoucing the crime he is going to commit later? Hai.... just trying to boost his ego maybe?


Darn, my luck :(

my Pre-Deepavali Night

After work, we asked Beanie for dinner at nearby Lau Pa Sat... We gonna miss her lots!!

Before Beanie goes >> >>> :)

Beanie, Me & her fav. Bear

Byeee~~ Beanie

some farewell gifts for her

Dinner @ Lau Pa Sat

~ A Surprise for SH ~

When we are about to finish our food, Leah & Noormie went to buy a cake to surprise our coming Birthday Gal - SH! She was soooo surprise when e cake popped out infront of her face, hee....

Advance Happie Birthday SH!!

After the dinner, left with myself, SH, Ina & EO - e 4 of us again.. EO suggest maybe we can go KTV & i remember there is one Party World at Boat Quay.. so we take a stroll over & sharks! Think either they have moved or closed down the branch - no where to be seen.... Our legs are tired & half-way sweating now, just want to grab a seat anywhere close.. which is well, Coffee Bean - spending e rest of our nite there having Gals Talk :)

snappin away~~

EO & Me

Farewell Beanie

Sad sad..... Sigh... Yes, Beanie is leaving us... to a faraway land called The World of 'Dou'. She has resigned & decided to migrate to this farway land to start her own plantation in beans.. Yeap, to plant her own beans to sell - that's what she alway said! heeee....

Alright, back here - we were sad & shocking to learn that today will be her last day as it was supposed to be next week. We were still discussing during lunch if we could go for dinner during her last day or so... but now it seems too late. Luckily, we had lunch together today & happened that Jasmin brought along her camera... so at least now we still have some pics for memoirs.

These few months, i've been travelling a couple of times with Beanie, hence more or less.. kinda have feelings attached. Yeap, Xerene's feeling sad now but yet also happie for Beanie that she can finally go to her happie beanie land.

Next, we all look forward to have a Pot Luck X'mas Celebration at The World of 'Dou' ~ with 'live' performance from Dao-Pok (yes, her hammie's name) on 8th Dec 2007 ^-^

Waraku - The Central Branch

Last evening, i met up with my group of friends for dinner at Waraku. I've never been there but was recommended by SH - she says the jap food there is nice, especially their paper steamboat & prawn tempura - Must Try, hee...

Initially i wanted to go to the one at Cuppage but Sha Sha said The Central Branch is not that 'smelly' so we went there instead. But when i called to reserve a seat on Friday, they said it's fully booked! Think next time gotta call much earlier to reserve seats - which means now we will need to go down to take the queue no.

waiting for our seats

So nice.. they served u drinks while waiting. Meanwhile we went to the Yamakawa Supermarket @ the basement - they sell all kinds of tibits and stuff imported from Japan. All the packaging there look sooooo 'kawaii', heee... We manage to get our seats after 40mins of waiting - all our stomach r calling for fooooood!! i ordered e Kaminabe Wazen cos it comes with e paper steamboat + prawn tempura + sashimi (all-in-one)

my paper steamboat - Beef with Clear Soup Base

Me & Princess Sha Sha

May, Ken, Yaodong, Sha, PJ & Donn

After our dinner we all went to a nearby KTV pub @ Boat Quay. Sha & Me feel like back to old days when we stepped in, wahaha... like back to e days when we were around 18, we used to go to a KTV pub at Tanjong Pagar (those were the days) ^^

oh man, my face is sooo red - barely had 2 cups of drinks only
