nature's wonders

I love this nature's wonders - the healthier snack - cashew nuts which is no added salts and highly in fibre. Taste of cashew is extremely just right for those people who dont eat much salts as well. Nice to chew this slowly.


Bought this from NTUC only at $6.80 immediately when it launched on that day (few days back) before I blog this today. Think it should be available till now. Highly recommended and you should give it a munchy try.

hearty spread

Today is to mark our sweet memory being together for five years and we talked about the last time and how we met each other and else.. so many things to talk and made fun of each other - only 2 of us.

Yesterday was my hubby's birthday and his good friend bought the best food such as crabs from changi village. I did not want to buy birthday cake as last tuesday we had cake at resort so I bought small hearty birthday mini cake for him only.

My hubby did not want to eat there at changi village, just all because of me. In end, his friend and he went there to buy food and bring home to eat together better. And they said they will clean up after eating crabs.


I lovvveeee this spicy crabs very much and even I ate it with bread for few rounds till I little full enough.

Crab black pepper - my hubby's all the time favourite and also spicy crab. But I did not know why I seem did not like eat this. Probably my taste changed during my pregnancy hormones change.

Others - sting ray and spicy oyester. But think they missed out the one popular dish is spicy kongking lor..... For bread, I bought it from four leaves bakery shop.

yesterday party

Yesterday my hubby's AC company was holding birthday party for Vincent and my hubby at SAFRA Resort, somewhere at Tanah Merah. Their birthdays befall around the same of this week of September.

Next, the 2 men were helping to construct the 6-wines rotary stand. Actually, it was my first time to see this.



Some of them watched television that was in front of them. Only one "hardworking" man who was in red shirt, was so busying doing it.

The three expensive wines installed in this rotary stand for guests to drink. Still got many wines kept other sides.

The completed of 6-wines rotary stand showns like this. Actually it costs $200 something and they dont own pubs or what. Just that, they are something like wine lovers who enjoy drinking at either their home or resort or chalet or elsewhere.

Another thing, forget to take photos of people who were busy cooking BBQ chickens, staty, hot dogs and else. It slipped my mind when I was attracted to watch television inside.

At about 10pm, kinda late already....still got people to surprise vincent and my hubby with the two heaviest birthday cakes that seemed weight more than 1.5kg.


Each cake is probably weight more than 1kg and inside the chocolate was quite strong smell and alot of sponge and creams inside is more than a sin to increase your weight much, haha...


Nice decoration and creative attracted my attention for few minutes while taking photos of it.


Quite big cake, really. Very thick & tall about 12cm. Diameter is between 26 - 27cm.
Rich chocolate layer everywhere and yet, it is very strongly sweet taste. One piece was cut and showed that it has four layers of chocolate sponge, creams and banans. Once you eat it, probably it tempted you to eat it one more time.

So you want to know which cake shop it bought from ?? It is not very cheap, you know. I accidentally saw the receipt that dropped on floor out the chalet's kitchen. Think they forget to throw or take it. When I saw the price of 2 cakes altogether, really I nearly dropped my jaw and could not believe my eyes.

First, it is very heaviest cake and even girls probably have no strength to carry it for few distances.

quiet monday

Today my hubby and I went to Suntec City and Marine Square to roam around and seemed that monday turned out so quiet and fewer people there. Even better than the crowded people on weekends that we do not like.




No idea what it is for? More likely a ferrie wheel. Not sure if it is the one I heard from something else that it is for viewing the entire Singapore and kinda a romantic dinner set inside. When it is ready then we will hear the news of this.


Had a lunch of Carls' JR at Marine Square and lucky that he ordered only one combo upsized set instead of two, or otherwise I may not able to finish this meal. Did not know that one combo is quite bigger than the set meal of MacDonald. That was my second time eating this combo meal with my hubby at same place, MS when it was just opened last time.


All the time favourite drink - Ice Lemon Tea. It was even better than MacDonald and coffee shop as I can add more lemon pieces inside to make it stronger one and lesser sugar. Can drink up to 2 or more times if you want. Better is it ?


That is the fish santa sandwiches and quite bigger than fish burger one at Mac or BurgerKing. Yet, it tastes more crispy and nicer than others. No wonder, I began like to eat burger at Carls' JR. Few outlets of Carls' JR in Singapore. Hope few more outlets open in towns like Orchard, Tampines and others.

After eating, my hubby wrapped into this huge star smile with satisfaction comment. So cute.


Then we took some walks around Marine Square and walked up to second floor. We saw the new japanese restaurant which is full of various pasta, pizza and else.


So many japan pasta enough to make you drooling and most prices are quite reasonable and looks nice. One day, we will try it there.


Another Japan desserts and beverages and drinks. Even got shake drinks too. It really amused me too much. Cannot wait to try it. Nice decoration and creative looks, yet prices are good reasonable enough to try once since it already opens in Sg. Dont give it a miss,ya.


We walked back to Suntec City to find Gelare outlet to have large ice-cream waffle. Cannot blame on our craving somemore. But should come on Tuesday instead as got half-prices for ice-cream waffles lor. Happy eating this.


Never fail to love eating waffle till now. Really wish to learn how to make waffle one day. After that, we went back home before ECP roads will get jammed after 445pm onwards. Lucky we left abit earlier at 410pm to avoid idotic jam on road.

gulit-free craving

Could not stop myself from cooking food what I like to eat to satisfy my little craving mostly for dinner only. Despite of being in my 3rd trimester, there is no excuse to say that preggers cannot do housework or cooking. I just treat them as part of exercise. But just make sure that dont cook too much dishes.

Mostly I cook only one dish that mixed together with other additional items, just like this. NO msg or salt or sugar added to this.




Dressings : brown rice, mixed veggy, carrot ham, broccoil and egg. Time cooking: less than 30 minutes only. Not so difficult I will say that.

If you are fried rice lover, you are welcome to share with me if you have any new special fried rice recipe.

simple pleasure

Last saturday (15/9/07), my hubby and I were invited by his boss, Vincent to his 4-rooms condo home along the sembawang road. My hubby once told me about his home and kept saying very nice spacious designs and I had no chance to see that time.

Finally got a chance and when I came in, my jaw nearly dropped and could not believe that the entire home interior designs almost the similar like bali spa. Could not resist myself and kept looking around and admired its unique designs every precious mintues.

Then we all watched 3 BPL soccer matches at a row on same day, Man Utd & Everton, Tottenham & Arsenal and Liverpool & Portmouth. Like that, it makes my eyes blur and blinking as saw ball kept rolling or flying or shooting. After that, I only took photos of this lovely tall lamp.

Respect Vincent and his wife, so I would not take photos of whole home designs and his friends came to his home to watch soccer together, are indeed camera-shy. That was why no people in this photos. Really fun & interesting.





Really like very much of its alike bali spa interior designs for home and its designs is not for HDB flats if I not wrong. Only for condo or apartment or house is allowed to have this interior designs, I guess. Think you may check with HDB for some details or rules & regulations if you want to have this interior designs very much for your new home.

sinful indulgence





Bought a new ice-cream cups of strawberry and mango. At least not very much sweet, just right taste of itself fruits of strawberry and mango. My hubby liked the new taste of mango naturally. It costs only $1.60 per cup.

We were eating ice cream together while watching the top Korea drama "Couple or trouble" which features on every Sunday, 10.30pm at channel 55. I began to love this drama very much and the actor and actress all are such a fantastic and funny. This show will be last episode on this coming sunday. Sad.

Specially from my mum



My mum came to my home with a big plastic box and some other snacks like dumplings and yam cake. Not only her, my uncle fetched her all the way down to east area from north. I am not sure what is the name of this dessert which my mum made for me and my baby. *paiseh lor* Alot of brown chinese longang, white fungus and ginkos.

My hubby prefers it to be in cold dessert and let him have some. Then I got to re-heat this for myself as I only prefer it to be hot at night. Simply I love this dessert. She loves to cook many different desserts such as green tea ice kachang, mango and etc.. I am lousy and even cannot remember many dessert dishes.

I thought that I could not eat this dumpling or yam cake, just because I am pregger and not allowed to eat those. As I guess it is hard to digest or may cause stomach-pain for preggers. Think I may heard wrongly from somewhere else. To my surprise, my mum said can eat lah. I said really with a big smile. I have been long waiting to eat this actually, hahaha...

I reserved 1 dumpling and 2 mini yam cakes for my hubby after I ate the same portion as him.

secretly what I bought



Today I secretly bought this Chipster Potato chip - original instead of spicy or sour & creme onion... because I could not resist its temptation to try this. Knew that many people eventually tried those before. So I gave it a little try, probably worth buy only $1.95 for this at nearby 7-eleven shop near my home.

I ate it all by myself but to be fair to my dear hubby, I bought mango ice-cream for him. Cannot afford to be little selfish lah. hehe...

The taste of this chipster original is just okie, not very bad as long as it has some cprisy sound when bite evey pieces. Then after that, I drank 1000ml of plain water straightaway, but slow movement to drink just make sure that I dont get sore throat again. *kinda scary lah*

Me not in love with.....

My first time shopping at blogspot that local sellers do small business like selling clothes online and saw this label - (you can see the word and blogspot link shown on picture). Been browsing this for a long time already and took about 2 weeks consideration before purchased this grey sleeveless top.

Before that, I emailed her directly and asked her whether this top is translucent, and stretchy or not. Also mentioned the color of white too. She replied saying that white is little translucent and not obvious one, for grey one is not. I aware that the top is in cotton material and I am fine with that either way. So trust her words and ordered this grey sleeveless top straightaway.

Paid $36.00 plus $1.00 normal postage for this top and I received it within 2 days after made payment. Was excited looking forward to receive it, really. And even thought that it was a big worth buy for this imported unique piece which not available in Singapore.

When I opened the parcel and took out the top came with blue inner singlet together, I was shocked and not what I want and even thought ...... *(lip is sealed.) :((

Quite kinda a little disappointed with this. I could not believe that this top costs $36.00 even material is not cotton and so light mah. Quite pricey for this....... I may said this from my heart.

What she wrote in blogspot to describe the measurement:
Colour: Warm Grey
Size: Suitable for S, M ( Model is 163cm, UK size 8-10 )
Measurement:
Length - 27.5 inches / 70 cm, Chestline - 19.5 inches / 49.5 cm



Therefore, I do love this top as it has versatile and sophisticated style. But....sadly, it is quite too big for me and the material is not very much in cotton as I thought, it is more like a nylon one. Very very....LIGHT just like a piece of paper.

Picture A showed that top is reallyyyyyy little translucent at day and have to wear something inside lor. Picture B showed the same exactly as featured one in the photo blogspot.

Actually it will be toooooooo big for girl who wearing topshop size UK 8-10. I am topshop size UK 10 and it is big gap on my arm hole when trying this once a while. NEVER worn it out. Think it suits the best on girls size UK 12 - 14, just nice size fit on them beautifully.


I did not know why she chose blue inner for this top, should be in white inner lah. And actually I am thinking or want to email her whether can change to other tops or not. Really very clueless of this top which is really translucent. Troublesome to wear one more extra inner singlet. So trying my luck, I checked her website regards of term & condition or exchange policy but found none. Looked like that seller do not accept exchange policy.

What is a unlucky & upset shopping online I had ?

I guess I have no choice and trying out what I can do with it. Since I chose and paid highly pricey for it .... hmhm.... forcing myself to appreciate & love this top for a while, ya. Maybe I wear it at late evening to avoid having inner singlet inside and less translucent, I reckon. Or I give it away to ...within my relatives or others.

Overall, the seller is good and patient. Do visit this website link shown on first picture and take a look to see if you like clothes there or not.
