On Our Feet

This post will begin with a rare footage... ...

Yes don't blink your eyes. It's Blamer putting on her sports shoes.

A day of getting our lazy bones away from the couch and onto the courts for some badminton action.
A few shots of some of us in action.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Not bad that Blamer was actually pushing herself. Look at her go at the shuttlecock even though I had it covered.

We din get a grp photo with Gavin and Jac cos the super on couple went swimming next door.

But then again, at such a healthy place like the Sport Halls, why would Ronald appear here?

There went all our hard work.

Suddenly we had the crazy idea of having a impromptu steamboat cum grill session at HQ's place. Shopping at NTUC for ingredients. Can't believe that HQ actually has a grocery trolley bag.

Carnivore Blamer choosing her all important meat.

Think I was blocking the wife here.

The guys doing the dirty work of unpacking and sorting

While the girls got to do the fun part of marinating.

Ta Dah... I really hoped Blamer washed her hands.

The steamboat setup

The grill setup. Noticed we were using olive oil, the healthy alternative. Great to have such a big place. I wonder how will it be like when I get my place.

Our main cook Gavin. Practising before he embarks on his journey to London where he will be cooking most of his own meals.

After dinner, it's a game of mahjong and Blamer got the biggest win of the night! Plus it's a "hua-shang zi mo"

But what's a better way to end the night than with some old school Monopoly, though it would have been better if we were playing with real $$$

The Annual Event

Every year, we will have an event for our clients, where they will pit their skills against one another to win the trophy!

The mega trophy only for the champion team, sourced by yours truly :)

John getting all set for the event, armed with his drink.

Leecher came over to have some fun too :)

Kaijie & Leecher getting ready to pit their skills against each other.

Can see that he's all set to start clearing the table.

Caught in action!

Big boss Richard changed his schedule & flew in from Tokyo, so he can be at the event as well.

Pictures in b/w games :)

When all the pool tables were fully occupied, the guys entertained themselves with soccer. Seriously, I have never seen the guys behave like boys before!

Richard was threatening to confiscate dent dent after this picture, cuz I made him took tons of pictures :) To quote him "I've never taken so many pictures in one night, thanks to young Caihong"

Kudos to the team for organising this event! We all played our part and definitely had lots of fun that night :)

Palm Beach

One of the many pre-farewell meals we had before Gavin left for London. Had a hard time trying to book a table at Palm Beach.

Just look at the crowd. I think it just so happened that National Day was just round the corner and everyone was here to catch the fireworks from the rehearsals.

Interesting decoration. I wonder if the plants are real or fake...

Their table snack of deep-fried anchovies instead of the normal peanuts. I'm surprised that they sprinkle icing sugar on them making it a sweet dish instead of the usual savoury version.

Sambal kangkong as starter. I quite like their version, very fragrant and spicy. The vegetables still retained their crunch even though they had fully absorbed the flavour of the sauce.

The main star... Good old chilli crab. I find their version a tad sweeter than normal. Could have been better if it was spicier.

I like their mantou though. Just the right size and not oily at all.

The must order dish for the night goes to their Cheesy Baked Crab. This was really god-send. I will definitely come back here again for this dish.

As always, forgot to take the pic with food on the table. I bet Gavin will miss the crabs.

Keys & Doors on 20.10.2010

3 years ago, we sealed our fate on the dotted line when we purchase our love nest in Punggol.

Fast forward to 3 years later ..... we've gotten our keys & it's door opening day on 20.10.2010 :)

Tadah! Reached the place early to wait for the auspicious timing!

Uncle & Auntie came with us to bless our new house! Checking the gas & water pipes outside the corridor.

It's time to open the metal gate @ 8am.

While we kicked open the main door at 8.08am .... HUAT AR!
