R & R @ banyan tree Maldives

Despite the flight delay at the beginning of the trip, I am glad that we came.
Clear water and white sand beach,
Blue greenish sea,
Great snorkelling at door step,
First class view of marine life (include sharks) from the water surface,
Endless of breeze,
Mixture of rain, sun and fair weather,
Soak into the private pool and jacuzzi,
BBQ lobster meal by the beach,
Laze by the sea and slip some wine while watching the sunset,
Good food,
Feed bread crump to fishes,
Excellent conversation and great company make these feel extra special.

Ahhh.. Life is great

Flight delayed ~6 hrs

After a series of drama on my swollen lip, followed by another allergy reaction due to panadol and then flu.
This morning, I am finally feeling slight better to proceed with the holiday.
Another surprise when I arrived at the airport - flight delay for 6 hrs.
I hope this is the end and the rest of holiday will be good..
Maybe it is also time to go 四马路??

Sick again :(

Woke up to a bad headache, swollen lips and tongue!!
Whats up, man ???

First time being address as MDM!!
Wah-cow!

Loving the weekend ;)

Lovely day started with a surprise gesture from him.
Late morning, I had an appointment to do IPL on my lower leg which WORKS perfectly! I am really happy with the result :)

Followed by lunch alone at Pho Hoa Suntec.. Mmm sometime it is nice to have alone time, is it? Hehe...
Oh, how was the lunch? It is really yummy, especially I haven't have pho in such a long long time.

Did a bit of shopping (2 dresses) before heading for the spa ;)
And... Oh mine.. Oh mine...bumped into some topless hunky *drooling* at the bugis

Relaxing spa @ orchard was over in a blink of eye but actually it's 2hrs already.

Next stop - Had a fragrant jasmine tea and "so so" waffle at "restore" cafe @ Tiong Bahru. Restore is a cafe cum old furniture shop. One of those grandma days chair costs S$500!!

Oh yes, We picked up our air ticket to Maldives in between the appointment .. Eeeehaaa ;)

Dinner was german food @ "Werner's oven" (Siglap). Sinful food but who care when it is with great companies!
Top off with udder's ice cream as desert. Oooo...la la

What a "food-foo" day ;)
I wonder if this beats a camping at costa brava ?? A friend was bragging about it yesterday.. Arghh :p

Second attempt - cupcake

This is my second attempt and I failed again.
Made a mistake during the cup to weigh conversion. Add more coco powder than required.
The cake texture ended up too dense :(
But hey, at least the shape is good in this round.
Will go for round 3 !!!

Annual progress report 2012

OMG.. Last in class!!
How to inspire him when I am miles away?
2 years ago, he dropped out of school and now ...
Really not interested in study ?
Should I continue the sponsorship ?

Black listed eatery - 天旺

Went to this restaurant at Sembawang Shopping Centre for dim sum, and the food taste like frozen stuffs that you get from the supermarket.
Who make shrimp dumpling with shrimp paste (like sotong ball)?
Which restaurant will serve fried carrot cake that taste like one u can get from the hawker centre (without carrot bite)
Terrible !!
Now I understand why we are the only customers in the shop.
Silly me to actually think that may be because we are early!! :(

大冬瓜

First time seeing such a big melon.
Much bigger than a normal size fire extinguisher :o

Herbal jelly from Taichung Japanese supermarket

This jelly is supposing to help to clear the body of heat and toxicity.
However it taste different from what I had in Singapore.
Much more bitter and had a very strong after taste of herbal
Not nice :(

Is typhoon Saola coming?

Getting my food supply for tomorrow in case typhoon Saola is coming to Taichung or Nantao.
The wind is getting stronger by the hours.

Interestingly was that this morning and afternoon were exceptionally calm with absolutely no wind.
Maybe this is what they call "calm before the storm"
