the Last Gourmet meal

We went for a dinner buffet at Bar and Billiard Room, Raffles Hotel yesterday night.


Boy was I glad that the meal was complimentary (courtesy of Feed at Raffles Gourmet), because I would not pay $72+++ per pax for a dinner buffet there. There was no sashimi, no roast beef and no prawns dish. Hiak. To be frank, the food is better than a lot of hotel restaurants, but definitely not worth the price tag. These are the only few of my favourites. Pardon the poor pictures. Taken with the iPhone.

New Rave!

I just bought this today. And I am so lurving it! Benefit's Posie Tint!


This kiss of see-through poppy-pink tint brightens the cheeks and lips. Also, the liqui-gel formula blends to just-picked perfection on all complexions and lasts for hours. It is actually quite expensive. I bought it at $64, and this is selling in the States for USD28!

I am also considering their other product, the dandelion. This classic ballerina pink finishing powder takes the complexion from dull to radiant in an instant, and comes complete with a soft, natural-bristle brush. I've tried it, and it works!


Erm, I really need to move to the States. Or anyone wanna tobang to USD115 to get free international shipping?

Busy busy weekend

The weekend flew by.

It was a packed weekend for us. We brought Kae down to Raffles Hospital on saturday for her last jab. Yes, finally! As usual, she cried. It is kinda funny how she don't cry when she had her 1st 3 or 4 jabs, and started to wail non-stop thereafter. Maybe she's grown and can understand what pain is.

After RH, we went down to Parkway Parade for Kae's Neuro Tree class. She has been improving week by week! For friends who have seen and met up with Kae, you would know that Kae needs time to warm up to people, even with people she sees on a weekly basis. But now, she's hugging all her teachers, and can sit on her little seat throughout the 1 hour lesson (she used to sit on my lap the whole hour!), and participating in all the play activities. Yay!

The end to our saturday was heightened by the yummy dinner we had at Seafood International at Playground Big Splash. I was too busy eating my food and taking care of Kae that I forgot to take any pictures of the food! I also didn't bring my camera! Hah! But the food is really good! Now Seafood International is my favourite seafood restaurant, and Long Beach is the next choice. Zhengyu and Kae got to mingle a tad bit, and Kae doesn't want anyone to carry her! Auntie Karina didn't manage to get into her good books as you can see, hah!






I brought Kae down to Bishan on sunday; my dar went to Malaysia to play golf. After which I went down to Liang Court for my pedicure touch up; Pink Parlour has this 14 days free touch up policy when you have your manicure and/or pedicure done with them. You can even change your nail colour within the 14 days! After nua-ing at Pink Parlour for slightly over an hour (I was watching 2 episodes of Sex and the City there), I decided to have my 1st meal of the day at Marutama Ramen. I am so having cravings for ramen recently. Hah! As usual, I order the nama karashi ramen, and it was yummy! Though some people would consider the soup salty, I lurve it! But of course not as much as I lurve the ramen from Ichibantei! Heeheehee. Miharu is so out of the running. Sorry Edna! Hah!


I met up with dar after his golf, and we took a walk at ION, as he hasn't been there yet. It was super crowded, so we left in a hurry. We were also rushing to our massage session at Spa Vintage. My last massage session was like 4-5 months ago! I badly needed one. And I feel a tad refreshed after the massage. I hope it's enough for me to start a new week!

the Beginning of something exciting

Today was Kae's 1st day at her PlayClub programme at Julia Gabriel Learning Centre.

We met up with Joanne and Claire for a quick lunch at Macs before heading for the class. Both Kae and Claire were quite engrossed in their biscuit eating. Heehee.


And so we began. The class started with singing and dancing. Although Kae did not go up to the teacher when she was called, she did put her name tag into the mail box when the teacher came up to her. Hah! Those who attends the class would know what I mean. Then it was activity time. They were taught to create a duck out of paper plates, yellow paint and feathers. But I didn't let Kae attempt this, as it would have been freaking dirty! Haha! Claire did, and poor mummy Jo had to wash the paint off Claire's top! We are so going to bring a huge top for the sweeties to wear in their future classes. Hah! Kae did the 2nd activity, which was to create a coloured quilt blanket with glue, coloured paper and glitter. Tada! Kae's 1st artwork at Julia Gabriel.


After which, there was story telling, then snack time!


Followed by free play at their playground area, and more singing and dancing. I think Kae's favourite was when they were at the playground area; she kept going on the slide!


After the 2 hour class, we all headed down to Mezza9 for drinks. I tried the chocolate martini which was highly recommended by Jo. It is Yummy! Heh. Definitely taste much better than those lychee martinis and cosmopolitans. Kae was super hyper during our whole time at Mezza9; she was walking all over the place and playing hide and seek with Jo and me; Claire was asleep. This is the 2 of them drinking water after Claire woke up. Heh. Cute eh?


Anyhow, we went down to the newly opened Ion Orchard after. Kae took the opportunity to sleep while I was carrying her. She slept for like under an hour, which meant that my arms and feet are aching like hell now. Hah! And oh, Ion is huge! I think it's bigger than Vivocity by all counts. Huge. Another new place to shop and explore, yay!
