Daddy's Birthday

It's my Dad's birthday, Roger decided to take us out to Riverside Indonesian Restaurant to check out their bbq.

Hmm... riverside dining while we were sitting so far away from the river? But I reckon this was better cos I recall that the river wasn't exactly very sweet smelling either, ha ha.

Wow, wat a spread. There are different combinations to choose from and we ordered the $16.80 per pax for about 7 dishes I think. Of cos, the drinks were included.

Their table setting.

Some cam-whoring. Too bad my photo-shopping skills aren't as good as XX, if not, I could have remove the zits on Blamer's forehead. Hee hee.

Crackers were served as starters, but I think the ones they serve at Lemongrass Thai Restaurant tasted better.

Lime juice all round and the rice in a very interesting bucket.

The first few dishes: Bean sprouts, sambal stingray and otah-otah.

Follow by: Tauhu telok, bbq prawns, bbq sotong and their ayam. According to Roger, the ayam is the best dish of the lot. I think so too and the prawns as well.

After dinner, we decided to bring papa to a treat.

An ice cold beer at Brewerkz-known for their freshly brewed beer.

While walking over to Brewerkz, we came across this fountain... ...

Blamer insist on taking a pic with it. Wat abt me?

Oh they have so many different types of beers to choose from. Light lager and those dark ale.

Ordered some sausages and cheeses to go down with the beer.

Went to the toilet to a leak but while I was there, I saw their secret... ...

Wow, ha ha their stash of freshly brewed beer.

Pic of the day... ... (not the individual full body pic for a change *hee*)

First Branded that Blamer bought for me

Blamer came back with three shopping bags today... ...

But she handed me the smallest of them all... ... : (

Still, tingling with anticipation... ...

Gasp! The dust bag, I'm seeing the dust bag... ...

Unveiling the long awaited... ...

Ta Dah... ...

Wa... ... Not very LV-ish leh. Taiga print. Who knows it's a LV? Can anyone see the LV discreetly imprinted on the bottom right corner? (as describe on their website)

Hmm... not to be outdone...

Must open up the wallet, wa ha ha ha. Can u see the silvery words? Just to quote Blamer's brother who mention "Luckily it's made in France. Not made in China" Wa ha ha.

Yeah! Finally can chop Blamer's carrot jia lat jia lat.

However, Blamer retaliated... ...

Big stab to my newly acquired LV wallet. She actually drove an Excalibur equivalent into my wallet and poke a very big hole for this Miu Miu bag. But I quite like this bag, maybe if she dun wan to use it, I can use it as a metro-sexual accessory.

Lastly, she bought this Trevi PM bag out of her own pocket, cost a freaking over 2 grand. I still think the Miu Miu I bought for her looks better. Waste money. Ha ha ha.

爱心Cupcake

Today Blamer surprised me with a white paper bag while waiting to lunch with me.

That's me with my present.

And Blamer showing off. If u were thinking that the backgrd looks like some coffee shop, you're right! This coffee shop situated around circular rd serves delicious bah chor mee.

The bah chor mee comes with anchovies, quite unique. However, their specialty is supposed to be bar chor mee sua. Too bad we din order that this time.

But the 主角 of the day is still my 爱心 cupcake. So sweet and rare of Blamer to buy such expensive stuff for me. Did I tell you that the cupcakes from Marmalade Pantry cost over $4 each?

Opening up the present at a secret location near our workplace. Blamer and I always come here to escape the crowd.

Expensive stuff 就是 expensive stuff, even comes with a matching box.

Tah Da! My 爱心 cupcake!

But me will always share good stuffs with my Blamer. 一人一半， 感情不会散。 : )

And this is one of those full body pics of Blamer again, sorry folks, u've got to endure this for a couple more weeks, till she lose the "mood". Hee hee.

Lucky Plaza Chicken Rice

I have discovered another chicken rice store, courtesy of Miaoli this time. Located on the third level (or is it second level?) of Lucky Plaza, this shop is tucked away at a cosy corner. Decided to bring Blamer here since she is tired of all the restaurants and food court around Orchard.

The chicken up close.

The whole set.

Extra dumpling soup.

Happy couple!

Your random "full body pics of me" : )

Eat out

Today, we decided to try out one of the good hideouts from lunch courtesy of queenqian. The overhead bridge connecting DBS and UIC building I think.

Whoa would u just look at the queue? Luckily me and Blamer made our way there early.

Hey hey, two plates of chicken rice with a bowl of bitter gourd soup all for just $7.50. Love the roast chicken, crispy and savory. Blamer like the soup too, given that she dun really like the taste of bitter gourd, this soup must have been really good.

These days, she's in a "take a full body pic of me" mood. So here another of those random pics. Ha ha.

For dinner, we visited Carls Jr. There used to be discounts if u pay using Citibank credit cards, but nowadays, they switched to UOB. So folks remember to whip out ur UOB next time.

YUMMY!

First Movie in 2008

Folks, look at my face.

Believe it or not, I'm going to the cinema!! (fireworks in backgrd, lotsa backgrd cheering and clapping)

Even I can't believe it, my first movie in 2008?! (Blamer dun believe in paying the price of the movie tickets, hence I have been deprived of watching movies in cinema since... ... God knows?)

Must thank my employer and my credit cards points for allowing me to step into the cinema after all these years.

Armed with my tickets, cinema here I come. Blamer still have the cheek to ask me whether should we buy some popcorn and drinks in, if not we might look loser-ish. DUH?! This being our first movie this year, we are already loser-ish! Missed my Kungfu Panda : ( sobs.

Strangely, nostalgic feeling overwhelmed me while looking from this angle. Pretty good movie, liked the story line and the whole lots of twists and turns in the plot. A must see for all batman fans.

After the movies, went Haagen Daz for some dessert. Created our own flavours, chocolate cookies, macademia nuts and rum n raisin. Advice: do not include rum n raisin next time if u include something warm like the crepe we had. The rum n raisin melts really fast and before u know it, u've got a gooey mess.

Long John & NYDC

We rushed to Plaza Sing during lunch time, so that we can get tickets for The Dark Knight. However, all the slots were selling fast and only the 1st 2 rows were left. Thus, we left without buying the tickets, much to Leecher's disappointment :(

Had our lunch @ Long John Silver - one of my fave fast food outlets. Long John is supposedly famous for their signature seafood (shrimps, prawns and fish) coated with their secret batter, but somehow, I always prefer their chicken combo.

Leecher, being a sucker for the signature dishes, will always order the fish combo.

The standard pic before enjoying the food .... haha

Since we failed to catch the movie, we went to town for dinner instead. Walked over to Wheelock Place and Leecher was deciding between Big O Cafe and NYDC. Finally, we settled for NYDC due to

Leecher thinks that the menu is more colourful and vibrant >_<"

Leecher ordered the lemon shiver and he was pretty amazed with what he saw in the drink .....

Ice ball! Reminds me of my childhood .....

Spud-nik - baked potato with chicken & corn, topped with bacon bits.

Another signature dish: Meatball that ate Manhattan- huge meatballs and it would be better if there were more spaghetti to go with the sauce/meatball

Yummy!

Since we couldn't catch The Dark Knight, @ least we got a pic of Batman's car, LOL
