Potluck w the Colleagues!!

OMG i don't know what is wrong with my internet. :( I wanna blog but can't.. So here's a post done up in word first.. heehee. Will upload it once my connection is up and running. :)



Anyway, my office just recently moved to MBFC in ulutown. Seriously, it's freaking far away from decent civilisation and all that's there are expensive shops and restaurants. I have to take the train to Marina Bay station every morning and walk on the uneven road in the middle of the construction area to get to office. No underground shelter unless I'm coming from Raffles Place which is like ~3-4x the distance. Even going for lunch is sucha hassle coz it's such a long walk and there are many major roads in between. You never walk a straight path to your destination.. >.<

So I came up with a brilliant suggestion, if I may say so myself. :P I suggested a Monday potluck lunch! Monday coz then we have all weekend to prepare for whatever dishes we are bringing. (:

We held our virgin potluck session today and it was SMASHING Success! I enjoyed myself loads today. The starter was tofu salad brought by yours truly. Mum totally went crazy in preparing the ingredients for this. Actually the only thing that was needed was some lettuce, tofu, and the wonderful goma sauce! Totally can't go wrong with that. But she went and bought alfafa, baby spinach, threw in some green apples and japanese cucumbers. And to top it off, a bag of edamame! Everyone loved the edamame heeheee. But it took forever to finish the salad tho zzz..

Chandra made Briyani rice as well as the yoghurt to eat with it. MMmm it was so good!! No pictures coz I was in the middle of eating before I realised I left my camera in my bag zzzz. What a loser right? Bring it all the way there for this occasion and then forget to use it. Vivien brought avocado and Mango, in addition to the roasted chicken she bought from the supermarket downstairs. And to wrap up the whole lunch, we had Yuxin's yummy fruit salad.

Everyone brought so much food and it was all so delicious! Chandra was really excited to do this again next week coz it's cheaper for all of us this way instead of always going out to eat. And we don't even have to walk far during lunch! It was really nice to try new things as well as showcase the yummy things that I (er.. my mum) can make. ;P

Can't wait to do this again next week! It's a headache to plan though.. -bleahs-

OMG DAMN FUNNY

Beerfest Asia 2011 [18 Jun 11]

I AM SO TIRED!!! But I had an awesome evening today!! =D

I ran into Tom this morning, and he asked me if I wanted two tickets to the Beer Festival. I was like HELL YEAH!!

And who better to ask than drinking buddy Eric, the newly crowned emo king. =P

We had dinner in DOME. Here's some pics of the food

And then we were off to the Beer festival! It was sucha long walk in all the way from the main road zzzz. X_X

The main entrance..

Pretty flyer..

After 3 different queues, we are finally inside!

And we need to exchange money for beer tokens. 
You can't buy any drink without the tokens. =/ 
Queue again.

The token counter.. busy busy busy.

The menu from far. 
It was the only place selling food at the festival. 
I bet they earned super a lot of money..

Our first stop..

They had beer bottles and flags all hanging from the top.So cute!

And here we are with our first beer! A Bohemian Lager from Archipelago. 
$5 ONLY!! DAMN CHEAP FOR SG ZOMG!

Here's some random drink menu. CHECK OUT THE PRICES!!

When I saw this Man U board thingy, I told Eric he simply had to take a picture here.

Here are some random stalls.. 
firstly Tawandang - i just tried this in Suntec earlier this year. their dark beer is awesome

Jagermeister booth!

Check out the test tubes. $15 for a shot. *ouch*

Random posters. I thought they was kinda cute. (:

Pretty beer bottles..

Another booth.. with damn alot of beer brands..

Nice decoration. (:

We watched these 2 teams play Beer Pong.. And all the angmohs were all so excited watching the game.

This was the back of the VIP area. 
They used nets to cordon people out. Innovative..

PORK KNUCKLES!!
(yes it looks pathetic but it was yummy!)

hungry pepo. (blurry pics >.<)

Concert time!

The band is called Achtung Baby and they're from Australia..

They were doing a U2 tribute and I actually thought they were the real deal! Check out the lookalike..

I like the starrrrrs

lookalike not?

Us queuing up for our 3rd beer.. This time czech beer!

Big bottles..

I took one sip and I was like ewwww Pils beer! 
Eric looked for the description all over before going ya pilsner how you know?? 
The power of my german training. *winks*

Here I am squatting on the floor after the 3rd beer. I'm fine.. But feeling faint coz the place was oh-so-stuffy. >.<

And soon it's time for the last beer..Lychee Beer!  Check out the fridge.

I really like the taste of the beer. 
Like eric said.. It totally doesn't taste like beer hahah! but it was something different. (:

We left shortly after.. We shared a total of 4 beers and I felt super bloated. I think Eric would have liked to stay but I'm like how weak. heh. I felt a bit bad for dragging him out.

We had to walk through the flyer on the way out, and I took these pics of the the food court. 
I think it's a really cool concept with all the road signs of the famous food places. (:

I REALLY LIKE THIS PIC. IT'S SO AWESOME!!! 

Last pic of the post.. I thought it would be quite a nice shot. Unfortunately my hand wasn't steady.. =/

I had so much fun at the beer festival even though we were there barely 3 hours.. It was cool to see the different types of beer, the unique logos,cute packaging, different types of names due to their origins etc. They had good music too! Tributes to U2 & The Beatles.. me like. (:

I think I will definitely come for the beer festival again. And this time, I will go with a big group of friends and we will chope a table near the music area.. (: So that I don't get so tired standing/walking around the whole time. Also I will wear a skimpy dress and bring a rubber band! Haahaha! The place was so stuffy and humid. .I was drowning in my top. :x

I WANNA WATCH THIS!!

Father's Day

It is Father's day today and I put this picture up on facebook..

I was looking for a really old skool picture of me and my dad and I thought this was a really nice one.

 We look so happy together and it made him quite happy when he saw it at dinner tonight.. (:

We ate at this restaurant called Ikoi in Miramar Hotel. It's $35 per pax and it's free flow sashimi!!

Family photo..

Uncle ah Yam was in town so he joined us for dinner too!

Mum & Melissa..

Melissa was like our special guest today. Her dad passed away a long time ago and we hardly ever see her or  her sister. Why is it so is not something they ever tell us kids.. But I think it's got something to do with religion.. Dad was quite sad about it coz they are the only nieces he has and he really wants to be there for them if they ever need anything..

Owell.. Her being here today made my dad very happy. He didnt say anything but I know how much it means to him. (=
