July Update!

Been really busy these few days.. Especially since we're planning for the trip for the whole family.. I haven't had much time to myself to blog or do any of the stuff i normally do.. Like blogshop! =P

So anyway, just a few updates from here and there.. (:

NEA Run + Gardens by the Bay

Eric was representing his company for the NEA run last Sunday and being the awesome gf that I am, I went to the barrage with him bright and early to support and take photos for him..

Here he is getting ready..

Us up bright and early..

Other crossers were there too! Jayanta, Kelvin & Alvin. (:

Eric eventually came in 5th! behind Jayanta and Kelvin but I'm still so proud of him for the good showing plus not giving up despite 2 mega blisters! =D

His company sponsored tickets to gardens by the bay heehee.. And so we went after the prize giving ceremony..

THERE WERE SO MANY PRETTY FLOWERS!!! I decided not to upload them to photobucket otherwise i'd be up all night zzz... So here's two collages I did up on my phone.. (:

Taken at flower dome (:

and the below 2 at cloud Forest. (:


Us at the end of it all.. It was a fun but tiring morning..

I really like the conservatories but I'm really glad I didn't have to pay for it hahah! (:

Wear Jeans Day!

We're normally not allowed to wear jeans on Fridays, but 2 Fridays ago they had this "Wear Jeans Day" for charity. If u wear jeans, you donate $4, if not, you donate $5 hahah.

So in line with wearing jeans, my boss suggested we all dress up to a certain theme.. In this case - Pink + Specs!

The boyband! (:

Impromtu..

The ladies..

Candid! I think my expression wasn't vacant enough lol..

That's all the update for now.. Really tired. ending this with a pic of my outfit last friday! (:

I'M GOING AUSTRALIA!!!

I can't believe I will be in Australia in just 3 weeks!!! =D

And on a trip with the family no less.. We haven't gone on such a trip in 6 years.. =/ I hope we don't kill each other eeps.. 

So anyway.. We'll be flying into Gold Coast via Scoot.. We each have like 25kg of luggage! My mum is super kiasu can! 

We need to plan what to do where to go in Winter/Spring in Gold Coast ASAP! And most importantly, plan my wardrobe wahahaha! I bought a pair boots last year from f21 that I haven't had the chance to wear. I'm sooooo going to bring that pair to Australia with me! (:

Will end this with a picture of ride called Cyclone at Dreamworld Gold Coast! 

*bounces up and down excitedly*

Birthday Getaway Day 2!

We ended up sleeping really late the night before coz we watched LOTR's The Two Towers lol.
It's my favourite movie of the series.. (:

Sadly that meant not getting enough sleep before I was dragged out of bed to go for a morning swim. =x

It was a beautiful morning.. Not too sunny, the air was crisp and cool.. (: And most importantly, it was peaceful..

Eric is camera shy in his swimwear lol.

We swam a bit and took a couple of pictures in the pool. This is my favourite one! (:

We followed the mama peahen and her peachick again hahah. =D

We went back to the room shortly to prepare for breakfast.
We wanted to get there early enough lest we miss all the good food. =X

Eric in the lift.. (:

We had breakfast at The Knolls.. It's supposed to be $45++ per pax eeps.

The food was really good though.. The highlight for me were the coconuts hahah. EVERYBODY took one each! And it's those young coconuts, so the juice is really sweet and the meat came off very easily! =D

They had prawn porridge with alot of liao.. =P

Japanese sushi and appetizers..

The Fruit corner..with more exotic fruit selections like dragonfruit and jackfruit!

Cooked food corner..

A whole lot of sinful pastries..

Muesli bars.. (which we tabao-ed back heehee)

They packed yoghurt, fruit and cereal into these cute little glasses! I wanted to take one of everything..

 

And they had this beautiful honeycomb just dripping there.. I don't know what we're supposed to eat with the honey..

The view..

They even came around distributing small meals. With a selection of 3 types of meals.. Eggs Benidict, Nasi Lemak & Laksa,

I was soooooo excited for the eggs ben. It wasn't as nice as expected though.. They used truffle oil which i guess was supposed to make the dish more exotic but I feel that it spoiled the taste of the dish. hai.. =(

Here's an ugly pic of my laksa.. hahah I almost forgot to take a picture of this one!

The nasi lemak was good, but Eric polished it off before i remembered to take a picture.. haha

Here we are.. pigging out on breakfast =D

I really enjoyed my stay at Capella. The service and the food was impeccable. AND it's nice to just get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. It's pretty isloated and hence a very peaceful place to be. Eric and I are making plans to go back there again! haha..

Thankiew my dear Eric for the wonderful birthday. It was short, but very sweet and I really enjoyed myself! ❤!!

Birthday Getaway Day 1!

I had the best birthday everrrr this year.

Eric booked a room at Capella and we got upgraded to a suite (I think it was because it was my bday) :D

anyway more abt my hotel stay later..

We met at vivo for lunch first.. We had dim sum lunch at Tung Lok. The food was quite good.

Me.. It felt way too early to be up even tho it was lunchtime.

Eric ordering the food.

Cucumber appetiser!

Eric's favourite dish.. Sui yoke..

Duck porridge w salted & century egg. The salted egg taste was too strong..

I didn't particularly like this dish.

Har gao.. this was super good!

Some exotic truffle siewmai with scallop.

Egg tarts! Super yummy

Xlbs were so-so only. =(

Some fancy fried yam & pumpkin dish..

After lunch, we walked around a bit before driving into Sentosa. If you booked a hotel room in Sentosa, you just need to present your reservation at the gantry to go in for free. :D

We were served drinks (I think peach tea) as we were waiting for them to process our check in..

The lobby has a rustic vibe to it but it was a very pleasant atmosphere.

We were then shown to our room and boy was it HUGE. We had an actual living room.

The super spacious bedroom..

Look at the bathroom!

And even a balcony!

Super nice.. And it was here that Eric gave me my birthday presents!! (:

A Skagen watch! =D

Initially, he kept asking me if I knew what the present was.. I think he expected me to recognise the brand.. Which i did.. but I had no idea what they sold hahah.

Here's the pic from my phone. (=

More pics of the room...

Fruit Platter...

The awesome view..

We went for a walk soon after. (=

I like this picture taken at Bob's Bar! =D

The pool is SOOooo peaceful!

A peahen and her chick (2nd pic is eric chasing the peahen heehee)

We explored the Library next.. I LOVEEEEE THEIR LIBRARY!

There were so many yummy snacks and english tea served in pretty china. (=

The spreads..

My favourite is the chashew cookie!

damn happy. =D

We soon left Capella to check out Victoria's Secret at Resorts World. It was SO disappointing. They only sold panties and fragrances. Makes you even wonder why they bother opening a store here in Singapore..

Anyway here we are waiting at the bus stop for the sentosa bus.

So ulu.. No cars lol.

At hard rock hotel.

We eventually decided on dinner at hard rock cafe.. We were still pretty full from tea so we shared an appetiser an main course. (:

Random picture of the menu.. They serve char kuay teow here.. O_o

My favourite potato skins!! :D damn yummy!

NY strip steak.. 12oz..340g eeps. We were so full by the end of it!

Happy us! <3

Soon it was back to the lovely Capella...

We chilled at Bob's bar for ~1 hr enjoying the good music and the ultra comfy day bed.

The band here is super awesome.. The singer has this gravelly voice that sounds like Bryan Adams! =D

And that's all for the first day! :D I was so tired at the end of it and it was so shiok to just fall into the über big and comfy bed at the end of the day :D

Ending this post with a pic of the view from Capella at night...
