Italian in the heart of Ghim Moh

For those who have watched "HDB Tai Tai" couple of days back, then you would have seen the introduction of an Italian stall hidden in a typical coffeeshop in Ghim Moh.

* Or untill the food runs out ... as we discovered tonight!


Well, thats where we had dinner tonight. No, its not cos of the TV show okie (but I admit, I did watch it !!So auntie right ?!) but I really did bump into this stall during one of my "Dunno what to eat so anyhow drive around" mood, couple of weeks back.

We ordered quite a few dishes among the 4 of us but the soup was a tad too watery for my liking but the rest of the dishes were pretty yummy. See my pics below

Here's what we shared among us , amounting to $40 odd ....

• Mushroom soup
• Minestrone soup
• Garlic Bread
• Sauteed Forest Mushroom
• Cabonara pasta
• Cabonara pasta + egg
• Funghi aglio olio (which they forgotten & gave us cream sauce)
• Chicken with Thyme & lemon with mash potatoes
• Tiramisu
  

Me and my Food Host wanna be pose ! Yum !

Things you Find in a Malay Wedding

Us at Faridah's daughter's wedding on 22 July 2007. Was on verge of tearing when I hugged her ... so miss everyone!! Oh, and we met Nasir, Mui Eng, Siew Chin, Mariah, Suhaimi, Cheryl, Kuda, Woon San & Hui Chu there too.

I do love being in a multi racial country ... *sings* This is Home .... Truly ... where I know I must Be .......hehehehe

So here are some things typical of a Malay Wedding:

Simple yet elegantly done up .... nice

Anugerah 2007 ? For the idol in us all

Always been facinated by these arrangements ....if you have yet to notice, they are made of egg shells. Each guest will receive a bunga telur, which means 'flower' and 'egg' - a symbol of a fertile union

During the bersanding (sitting in state) ceremony, the bridal couple will be seated on the dais and sprinkled with yellow rice and scented water by family members, relatives and guests as a sign of blessing.


More dancing for the newly wed

Arch of love ... pretty modern feature though ...

Noticed the smiley handsome man .. yes thats Mohd Yusof!! Din even realised he was posing

And what's a wedding without Briyani !!

And Thank You gifts for the guests for their kind generosity

My First Family Day

My first Family Day with ST Engg. Heard was attended by 10,000 pax but they were like all over Siloso Beach. See how wet the signage was ... yup ... we got caught in the rain too

Of cos nothing can dampen our spirits with friends around. Here's a pic of some of my colleagues and their family.
And here's me and my twin .. hiding from the rain...so nothing to do, take pic lor ..hahaha

The highlight of the day ... President SR Nathan gracing our event... apologies for the blurred pic but there were so many pple trying to snap pics. Best we could do.. = P

Time to Read

Was doing an online survey on reading habits for my profession and *gasp* realised that I spent less than 5 hours a week on reading! This is really really bad . So, to motivate myself, we hopped by to Kinno this evening and gotten myself a HRM Singapore mag (just flipped thru and I think this issue is Boring) and Richard Templar's Rules of Management....amongst a bling bling Solvil Titus watch, a pair of cool black heels, yummy JUMBO tonkatsu dinner etc etc etc .. one needs motivation right ??? hahahah

Anyway, for those unfamiliar with the RULES .. here's how it looks .. By the way, my entire family is reading the rest of the 3 RULES (Rules of Work, Rules of Life & Rules of Wealth) !! And no .. we are NOT Civil Servants ... just law abiding citizens ...hahaha .. okie, thats corny ...

Fuming Mad !!

Picture speaks a thousand words. See what greeted me when I picked up my Travis after work today ?!!! Faintz ...was literally POO ATTACK ! Huge brown puddles were splattered all over the car .. I have NEVER seen that much POO on a car ... you cannot imagine man. Trust me, these pics are only the tip of the iceberg.

Pics were taken at the car wash cos it was so horrible that I sped to the nearest petrol kiosk.And guess what ?? The guy at the car wash was laughing ... sigh ...

Am plotting a secret mission to axe the damn tree & those BIRDS ...arrggghhh!!!

ITs Finally HERE !!

He finally said Yes ... and what happened next was in a total frenzy ... Phones started to ring and preparation for the BIG day went underway, booking rooms, checking schedules, churning namelists etc etc etc ....TOTAL MADDNESS with all the coordination. And today is THE DAY ! Could hardly sleep a wink last night I tell you.

This morning, the Place was buzzingly with activites as folks dash in and out of the rooms making last min changes to decoration and table arrangement and all I could do is hide in my little room calming my nerves (& those butterflies too)... among a sea of giggly girls and boisterous laughter ...sigh ... what am I getting myself into ?? Second, third... fourth thoughts starting creeping into my mind. Eeeekk .... breathe breathe breathe ...

Registration flew pass before my eyes and soon I was ushered into the room . Palms turning sweaty and trying my best to maintain my composure, thinking .... Smile girl , SMILE! And of cos containing my pretty pretty make up ... every girl wanna look pretty right?

And anyway, here I am. feeling all relaxed after the event ... what a relief ... dun think I would want to go through that again ... keeping fingers crossed ...hehehe

Hmmm .... have a funny feeling some of you are frowning while reading this ... in case you were wondering ... NO, I DID NOT GET MARRIED !! Faintz .. I was talking abt the SQA re-certification Exercise that I had to lead ... and you thought I have missed you out of MY BIG DAY ??!!Hehehe ....sorry .... blog was meant to mislead ... hahahaha ...
