Counting down to 2013!

My last 2 days of 2012..... was spent doing.....

30th Dec 2012
Got my starbucks card finally and was entitled to a complimentary handcrafted beverage and a slice of cake in my bday month~ :) Since dearie and I had some time to kill while waiting for the rest of the family to meet at grandma's place, we decided to redeem my coffee and cake at the Starbucks at Northpoint Yishun.

My coffee and cake :) It is still the christmasy month

Had picked a vegetarian restaurant so that grandma could enjoy the food with us. Went to LingZhi restaurant at Novena Square 2. Well.. it's a buffet style vegetarian meal. Food was ok.... I didn't think there was enough variety. Just glad that grandma didn't have to watch us eat, but instead join us with the food :)

My dad and my nephew :)

31st Dec 2012

Had a double date with Sophia and Wee Liat to try out her very favourite 鸡宫保 (GongBao Chicken) claypot-ish "steamboat style" meal. We met up at Kovan and went with her expert choices of "BIG SPICY" half chicken - just right for 4 pple. It was goooooooood!~


Our Gong Bao Chicken Claypot

Other side ingredients you can add into your claypot ~

Followed by some chillin out at the nearby Ice Edge Cafe for some cafe latte... :)



Went home and managed to catch some late night fireworks from our room.... 
Yes.. from our room.. so it's become so convenient that we don't go out to watch fireworks with the crowds anymore. Problem is the fireworks look really tiny.. :P

*~Happy 2013!~*

Prive Cafe @ Keppel Bay


Prive Cafe @ Keppel Bay
Click here to see the menu

Always love the christmas period, packed with gatherings and good food. This year we ex-borlanders gathered at Prive Cafe for brunch. Thanks to xiao fu for suggesting the place!

Brunch is usually a time where I get to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast during lunch time.. hehe so this was my focus on the menu~ And a place with good view and good company of course! Prive Cafe was really nice, especially outdoors if the day is not too warm. Food was also quite reasonably priced~

All Day Breakfast Menu (section)~ what would you pick? ;)

I do believe this was a mix of orange and apple juice?

Cafe Latte~

This was my brunch choice~ Eggs Benedict

Homestyle Pancakes for Xiao Fu and Ani

Dearie's Bananalicious French Toast

I didn't take pictures of the non All Day Breakfasts cos I'm not a fan of the usual main courses.. hehee... :P

That's us~ ex-Borlanders and partners :)

CK and Daniel

Wu Fang and her beautiful daughter who was simply too shy

Dearie's bday~

Dearie is a nature lover, like me. :) Birthdays are self-declared holidays for us.. so dearie's bday is no exception. Didn't really have anything or any place in mind so we decided for at the botanical gardens....

in the middle of the walk

takeaway cranberry scones from Food for Thought

followed by dearie's first time to the Singapore Night Safari..... (previous year we went to the Singapore Zoo) There is a birthday special which admits the bday person for FREE! 10% off retail and F&B, plus a complimentary ice cream! All you need is the "Wild Birthday Badge"!

Nigh Safari entrance

special bday badge for the bday boy!

Dinner at the Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant (a foodcourt selling local delights)

Local food- Fried Rice

More local food - Mee Goreng

Complete with the famous Singapore Sling (in a bottle)


I've always loved the Creatures of the Night show so of course that was the first thing on the itinerary after dinner. Walked some of the trails after the show as well but no good camera for night photography...

Still... hope dearie had a good time!

Christmas of 2012

I used to have this idea of going around SG to take photos of all the christmas trees and decorations put up at different malls, but finally gave up cos i could never find the time to do it...

But one thing that doesn't change, Christmas is a time for get-togethers, presents, food, happiness, great friends and family! 

our very small get-together at wen's place with gift exchange among us jie meis.. :)

this year's favourite kiddo snack - happy hippo!

our sumptuous christmas day feast prepared by my in laws~
