PINK LIZZY

got home late one night... and found this on the kitchen cabinet!!!! excited as i always am.... drew out my camera and snap away....
i love the translucency of it's skin, that you could almost see it's guts...
i love the web of it's feet too.. heehee.. so adorable... excellent imagery for footwork in dance...

Open House in School

This is my first school entry... why do i put it here??? hmmf... i don't know.. maybe cos i love my job too much to share it here... but there is still a part of me that wants to protect that integrity, and work ethnic part... anyway... this is just random... there is of cos much more interesting, wacky and 'happening' photos that should just keep to internal circulation... well.. then again... it is hard to say, one day i may just go mental and covert my personal blog to a job/SOTA glorification blog... *ponder for a bit....* maybe not for now.... can't really tell what the future says.. hahahahahha...
anyway...



Here's the year 2 and year 3 kids of 2009 waiting for their turns to show off their stuff.... stuff being: Modern (Graham Technique) and Classical Ballet to the curious public of Singapore...
we are currently at Goodman Road Campus, before the monstrous building of our school is ready, just off handy road.
no pictures of the actual showcase... cos it's school property. :)
come by during our openhouse for the REAL DEAL!!!!

hmmf.. i think i should get back to bloggin...

just as the title says... i think i should...but there are so many many stuff to catch up about on blogging.. so many things have changed in my life recently... erm.. actually not... my life pretty much stays the same... busy as ever... contented with my work as always.... but... there are happy times, frustrated times, proud moments and sweet moments.... sigh..... people came and gone... i've learnt and grown to accept such changes... painful as it will be on the heart, but... one must embrace change to be a stronger and better person, yeah???
righty ho... no pictures this time... will catch up wif u soon.. peekaBOO!

The Movie Poster:Time Traveler's Wife

Oh My Gosh!!! The poster is finally out!!! As i once said, i wasn't keen on the casting... but... oh well.. what can i said, i enjoyed the book... here is the trailer: 

its time to blog bout this... WEDDINGS to date part 1

Weddings weddings weddings weddings....i lost count the number of weddings and ROMs i have attended in the past year... my peers have decided to sign themselves to eternal partnership.... eternal endless bills... eternal fights.... eternal loss of privacy... eternal bliss (for some maybe...) eternal fear of adultery...
anyway.....i have my HATES and loves of weddings... and for sure... the 'opening door sabo act' is definitely one of my major hates... it is completely and absolutely demeaning and humiliating... i can go on and on whinging about it...
WEDDING OF FION & MAX - NOV 2007
Fion and Max are both from my secondary school... they have been together for a long while... and since their marriage in 2007, they have a cute little
Fion and myself...

Fion, Terri and myself...

Audrey, Terri and myself... We used to hang out a lot in school... :)

One year after.. in Nov 2008... Audrey and Joel tied the knot... and similarly.. she is pregnant with her first child...here's at her wedding suite @ Goodwood Park Hotel.

I never understood the meaning or purpose for pouring the bottle of champagne into this pyramid of non-champagne looking glasses!!!!!
her evening outfit...
Then it was Florence's wedding.. Gosh oh gosh.. it was more than a wedding, it was a Junior School reunion!!! Terrifying... heehee... as much as it was good to meet up with the old foggies of the past... it was endearing too to see how much we have grown and changed...

well.. there were a few more, but i didn't get any photos from the event... there was Clari's, Megan's, etc...
Next up... more detailed of laysie and wymen's and boey and coen's... was the door b*tch for their wedding... hahaha...

birthday gatherings, birthday friends, birthday food, birthday smiles, birthday burps!!!

this blog is more or less... dead... well...its still resuscitating from... a very very long... very very.... extended.... stone-ness...
gosh oh gosh.. i've never been busier... i think... i mean for work... overseas student exchange trip... exams.. open house, markings... moving offices... dance showcases... choreographies... (erm.. we are talking about 6 items yah!!!) and i am not even half done with most of them... and my birthday falls in the midst of all these madness... and the only comforting thing is... EATING!!! i know... its not healthy.. but... i am eating for a reason.. hahahha for a few actually... i am eating for staying alive and eating to be happy, eating to relieve stress and eating to celebrate my birthday (over a few days of cos!)... eating with loved ones to have a merry good time!!! YAAAYYY...
this post will probably be dedicated to F O O D and F R I E N D S and F O O D!!!!

My hearty english breakfast... the mushrooms were juicy, just like the way i love it... the eggs were fresh and perfectly prepared... i miss england!!!! makes me miss uk more and more *sob sob*

Viv's breakky: Smoked salmon with poached eggs...

the old hag!!! me!!!


Then... the following day.. it was birthday dinner with my family... we went to Royal China at raffles... i always wanted to try there.... main reason.... for i miss AROMATIC CRISPY DUCK so very very very very much!!!!
the dinner setting at Royal China... i love the knife!!!


My bro and his girlfriend, Anna
My Lobster Bisque with crispy rice cracker... This is very delicious.. the bisque was rich and flavorful!!!
And this blurry picture shows what i have been dying for.. AROMATIC CRISPY DUCK!!! unfortunately, it wasn't as yummie as the ones in london... i think the probable reason is, London uses FROZEN duck, and spore uses FRESH ducks... hmmf... oh and the pancake is not as yummie too... spore's too thick... nevertheless... at least i tried...
Right, here you go... first you lay the pancake on your plate
spread some plum sauce around with the back of your spoon..
Place some cucumber or spring onion...
pile on the aromatic crispy duck
roll it up...
take a bite!!!
Soon Hock.. fresh water fish with soya sauce.. YUM YUM.. fish was fresh and tender...
This dish was my favourite... Fried Pork Slices in Special Sauce.. a MUST HAVE!!! it has a very unique chocolatey burn taste, and the meat was exceptionally tender
Goose Web with Sea Cucumber..i avoided this... it looked too much like my finger...
My parents said that it is a tradition for birthdays to have noodles... well... they said... E-FU mee... i didn't enjoyed it that much...
We were absolutely stuffed.. well i know i was..
Last but not least...Dessert: Pomelo and Mango

Dinner @ Timbre
Seafood Aglio Olio - deliciously spicy
Chicken pizza... on very very thin dough...
Timbre Wings!!!! YAAYYY they remind me of my grandma's chicken wings.. which i miss very very dearly!!!

Tea/Late Lunch at friend's place.. Potluck...
Once of my colleagues had his mother in law prepared this mean and dangerous looking curry.. its Assam Stingray... all i can say.. SHIOK and SPICY!!!

Some other buns with char siu inside... laysie liked it...
And of cos... what is Dim Sum without Har Kao (Steamed Prawn Dumpling). It is so exclusive that here's a saga of the pictures... Verdict: The prawns were fresh, juicy and the skin was rightfully made.
