Gifts for Mums

This is a late entry.. if i din remember wrongly, we went to celeb B'mum bday wif his god-sister on 13 sept.. His god-sister suggested to eat Tung Lok Seafood dinner buffet at Arena Country Club.. Food was great on the whole except that the chilli crab like not veri fresh cos B's stomach got problem later that night and got MC the next day.. He suspected that it was due to the crab cos he finished the entire crab by himself.. i onli took a bite and dip man tou in the sauce.. Poor B..
After dinner, we went to sing k at Bt Batok Home Team NS.. B's uncle and aunty (god-sister's parents) joined us too.. We had alot of fun singing (for mi is listening) to the hokkien songs.. haha.. B's mum can sing quite well wor.. she is old customer there liao.. noe the boss there den got free jug of beer and no room charge as it was a treat for her bday so like no need pay..
We went JP to shop for her bday present den jus nice SK Jewellery having pre-renovation sale.. everything cheap cheap.. B chose this pearl pendant for his mum den i chose a pair of earrings for my mum.. can see they both veri happy when they received the gifts.. “天下的妈妈都是一样的”

Our Wedding Bands

Yeah, we ordered our wedding bands le! Went to Soo Kee and Love n Co but couldn't find a pair that both of us like.. i quite like one design from Love n Co but B dun like his.. So, we continue shopping around..

i've read from Singaporebrides forum that there is this shop named eClarity has many nice designs and gd service so we decided to drop by to take a look.. It's located at Shaw Centre.. We did not make appointment as it was a last min decision to go see see.. when we reached, the door was closed and the lady was attending to 2 guys.. We took the namecard at the door den went to isetan walk walk while i call to make appointment after the 2 guys.. haha.. so we went back after like 30mins agn..

At first, i was quite disappointed bcos the shop is abit messy and disorganised as compared to other jewellery shops.. Customers' orders were packed and placed on the table, some in the showcase.. Think positively, they have gd business.. haha.. the jewellery in the showcase like outdated already and some showcase were empty! From wat i understand from the forum, there is only a lady, Amanda, in charge of the shop.. She had 2 assistants but they like really doing other small tasks onli.. Amanda served us throughout.. no wonder mus make appointment...


We were seated while Amanda went to take the wedding bands for us.. She came back with alot alot of trays and we were overwhelmed by all the different designs.. She will let us choose the designs tat we want to try and keep the rest.. We picked like 20plus pairs i tink, forgot to count.. haha.. den she will leave us alone to fight it out.. we began playing with the rings cos some rings can be turned, disconnected, etc.. so interesting!

After a long time, we were left with the top 3 designs tat we like..


I love this pair at first sight but B dun like.. He feels tat his ring is abit plain and the design is wierd.. Actually, it's nice mah especially the diamonds!!

This second pair is not bad oso, veri princess look.. B loves the female ring alot but same thing he dun like the male one.. haha.. he veri picky de hor.. another thing, he likes yellow gold and i prefer rose gold.. soooo.. veri mafan rite..

Finally... We settled on this desgin.. I love all the 3 designs cos got alot bling bling diamonds. haha.. so depends on B like which one.. he chose this in the end.. and let me hav rose gold, yea.. made some extra customisation to the rings, esp mine.. first, we changed the white gold part to matte, rose gold part remain as glossy.. Amanda told us matte or glossy is onli the finishing, we can change it anytime we like.. maybe change it back to glossy the following yr on our wedding anniversary ba.. haha.. Den for my ring, i increased the broadness to 5mm thick. initially onli like 3mm veri thin can't see the diamonds one.. increase broadness means diamond size mus increase oso, hahaha.. at first i asked Amanda if can add another row of diamond on the white gold part.. she was stunned and said i'm the first customer to request it.. haha.. tot diamond size remain den add another row more bling mah.. but in the end i chose to increase diamond size onli..

When Amanda asked when is our wedding date, i replied 10 Oct den she was stunned agn.. B quickly said it's next Oct not tis yr den she said '吓到我,我以为是今年'.. cos it takes abt 2 mths before the rings are ready.. hope they turn out nice!! Engraving service is available too.. Finally, we decided to engrave this blog title on our wedding bands! B's one will hav 'Together' and mine 'Forever'.. May we be together forever!!

MySpace

B had a class last sat morning so decided to whip up a meal since i'm free in the morning.. cooked bak kut teh and grilled teriyaki chicken wings.. went to the market early in the morning to buy the ingredients - garlic, bak kut, canned mushrooms, chicken wings, red chilli, yan sui (greeny leaves to put on soup one, dunno wat's the english name..haha..) it's the 1st time i went to the wet market myself.. usually got my mum ard den i onli help carry stuffs.. tis time i jus go to the usual stalls tat she visits and ask the uncles and aunties for help.. "我要煮bak kut teh 要买哪一种肉ar??''.. haha..


Bak kut teh spices bought from yu yan sang cos got national day storewide 20% sale.. haha.. terriyaki sauce brand is kikkoman.. jus wash the chicken wings and massage them wif the teriyaki sauce to marinate can liao.. i admit i'm not a gd cook.. thanks to all these ready made spices and sauces!



I'm proud that my rice is successfully cooked.. the other time cook rice at B's place end up added too much water den the rice become gluey.. so disgusting.. haha.. this time it's perfect! yeah!




B said the soup taste "不够浓" cos he likes the herbs and spices but i dun like so to mi the soup is jus nice.. next time i'll put less water.. some of B's comments: "肉还不错", "有待进步".. still got 11 packets of spices for mi to try out.. haha.. Pa always complains dunno wat to eat for dinner so cooked more and saved some for my parents but forgot to ask them how's the taste.. no complaints means still ok la huh..



Bought small chilli so tat the black sauce will be hot enuf den nice.. But my fingers got the hot sensation for the rest of day.. chilli padi so powerful!!



Bak kut teh gotta hav 'teh' rite.. so brew tea to go with it.. But we din drink much.. haha..




These chicken wings are cooked in 3 different batches in the oven/toaster?? cos i dunno how long it will take to cook so mus test the timing.. 1st round put longer to make sure it is cooked.. end up overcooked, the meat too dry.. "你煮太久了啦!" :( 2nd round reduce by 5 mins.. "比较好一点".. 3rd round reduce another 5 mins.. finally B said: "好香哦, 你快点吃, 好好吃哦, 好想去bbq"..


Cooking is fun but tiring cos need to clean up after tat.. but it's worth it.. let mi tink of wat to cook next time.. cannot be too difficult one.. hmmm.. haha..

Our 2nd Anniversary Celebration

Woohoo! 2 yrs already.. started officially on 22 July 2007.. how nice would it be if it is 07.07.07 to match our ROM date 10.10.10.. we did meet on 07.07.07 to watch harry potter and B said he planned to pop the question but in the end we were rushing to catch the show so the mood wasn't right.. too bad.. haha..



Tis yr 22 July falls on Wednesday so we had a mini celebration at my house.. i bought kaya cake from Bengawan Solo cos B always says it looks nice.. bought their pandan cake for his bday less than a mth ago.. these cakes may sound wierd but we enjoyed them alot.. cheap n yummy!

B suggested gg Sentosa on Saturday as a post celebration so we went to Underwater World, Dolphin Lagoon, took the Skyride and Luge, and watched Songs of the Sea.. A fun-filled day out!



The person who took this pic for us quite artistic wor, tilt until so nice.. haha..



We paid $15 to go into the water to touch the pink dolphin and take pic together.. $15 jus walk in, bend down touch the dolphin smile den leave liao.. before i leave touched the dolphin one more time.. haha! the dolphin so cute and guai.. See the dolphins say 'hi' towards the end of the video.. cute cute!!



The skyride is actually quite scary to mi esp when it stopped and the chair swing in mid-air.. *face green green*.. i actually teared, throw face lar! reminded mi of the horrific sapceshot in genting.. but when sitting on spaceshot i can scream as loud as i wan, tis skyride nobody scream de leh.. cannot scream so i cry lor.. haha.. realised i'm actually afraid of heights :( and i had to giap my birkenstock tightly cos scared it'll drop.. haha.. Luge was quite fun and enjoyable.. a few ah mas and ah gongs were crawling like tortoise, veri worthwhile for them! wonder how they survived the skyride.. tink i shd avoid all these rides in future.. getting old liao.. haha..




While waiting for Songs of the Sea performance to start the crew took 2 pics of us den developed the pics out let us see.. i asked the person 'free one ar?' den he said '$15 a piece'.. gave him back the pic and said ' dun wan'.. haha.. money sucking place! the dolphin pic $15 at least still can go touch touch abit got the experience mah.. tis one jus smile smile onli oso $15.. terrible.. i wanted to ask him 2 for $15 can anot?.. but he busy looking for other ppl in the stack of pics in his hands.. so wasteful hor, we dun buy den jus throw away like tat.. might as well giv us for free..


Happie 2nd anniversary and many many more to come....

Manchester United Asian Tour in KL

Time really flies! Jus blogged about our durian feast and genting trip which was a month ago and now i'm here to blog abt the Man Utd match in KL. This trip was pretty rush for B and mi cos we went in the morning and back at night. Matt and FL went a day earlier to catch the training session and we met them directly at the stadium on the actual match day.
Our admission tickets



When we reached the stadium, the commentator was introducing the teams and the crowd was cheering so loudly.. B became excited and made mi run like a mad woman.. *pant pant* Lucky still managed to see the opening ceremony..


Oops! i was the one who took tis pic.. B not prepared yet.. haha..

B's skill better than mine.. hehe..



A short video showing Rooney missing a goal.. haha.. final score was 3-2, of course Man Utd won! But din managed to shoot any of the goals.. It was quite funny to see the Malaysians in the audience boo their own players.. Poor malaysian team, so stressful man.. Frankly speaking, Man Utd din play veri well.. But Matt and B were happy jus to catch a glimpse of Michael Owen scoring the last goal..
