Went out with Nancy baby last Thursday! Been looking forward to this day for real long 'cos we were actually planning to meet up two Fridays ago but we decided to watch Harry Potter together so we postponed the meet up haha.

Met her at Dhoby Ghaut mrt station. We were supposed to have our late lunch at Rocky Masters but I saw this really good picture of dishes from a Japanese restaurant, Kyoto Sabo AjiTei and we decided to give that a try instead.

The ambience of that restaurant was really really good. There was also a widespread of selections in the menu! And so we started ordering!

Nancy baby's! Some spicy seafood ramen thingy haha. Forgot it's name. It looks like spaghetti aye? But it didn't taste like spaghetti, according to Nancy. It actually tasted quite good when I tried it.

I had some Japanese curry noodle. Their noodle was the size of kway teow but the texture of ban mian. Curry was full of flavour. Superb. I'd love to say Grandma's curry's still the best but it's a total different type of curry haha so I can't compare.

We also shared these stripes of pork. Pan fried. WOO! NICE! It's not overcooked like most restaurants' so they were really nice and tender.

Only took us a while to finish our main course and so we ordered some dessert. I was contemplating on whether to get macha (green tea) ice cream sundae or macha ice cream with red bean paste and rice balls. And so...

Nancy baby got the sundae...

While I got the one with the red bean paste with rice balls. THE RICE BALLS WERE SUPERB! But I thought their ice cream melted a bit too fast. Their red bean paste was of really good texture too!

Nancy baby made me take this picture =_=.

Done! I also tried the sundae and it was just as nice. It had cornflakes at the bottom. Nice combination!

Had a really satisfying meal and went up for our movie. We were quite early la so we took our time and even visited the washroom. Got our tickets and in we went! (There were LOADS of people!)

Movie was GOOD! Not saying anymore. =)

When we got out of the cinema, WHOOOOO HUGE CROWD HUGE CROWD! Remember I said there were LOADS of people? Times that by maybe 10. Must be those eager people wanting to watch Harry Potter on the release date. I'm so glad Nancy baby booked our tickets on the net =).

We went straight to East Point because Nancy baby had to collect her dear phone. After collecting her phone, we went to Pet Safari. Not much pets left eh. I only saw one hamster and the rest were dogs.

Went to the outside of the building. Bought a cup of bubble tea while Nancy ate at Ah Mei Cafe. Sat outside and by the time Nancy came out with her food, I was done with my bubble tea already. So I went to get another cup =P.

WHAT! I was thirsty ok!

At the end of it, we walked around a little more and we went home.

We're meeting up again this coming Thursday! Woo! I'm so looking forward to it! I hope we can make it to Ikea! =)

01.07.2007 - 06.07.2007

Two Sundays ago I fried rice and brought to Grandma's place. Wasn't really interested in my Aunts' and Uncles' compliments but I waited all night for Grandma to finally sit down and eat because I was waiting EAGERLY for HER comments.

So Grandma finally started eating. I stood facing her, looking at her eat my rice. Her bowl was filled to-the-brim! Then I popped the question! She smiled and nodded her head while chewing. She thought it was funny how I stood there so long just to ask that question. Lol!

Went over to Germaine's cafe afterwhich. Decided to kope some peppermint liquor from her to bake Min Ru's birthday cake. Thanks a lot Germaine! =)

So Monday was Min Ru's birthday celebration. Can't quite remember what I did on Tuesday afternoon but I remember I went out for dinner with my parents. We had..
BEEF NOODLES! I had dry kuay teow (OK, it's not dry DRY but with some sauce) and beef balls in soup. Mummy had dry kuay teow with beef strips while Daddy had bee hoon soup with beef balls. No wonder they always say I'm a clash of them both. =D

Wednesday was the night out with Sherry love.

Thursday I met up with Marcus. Watched Die Hard 4 and had dinner at Swensen's with him.

Friday was another day out with Sherry love! It was our Movie Marathon! First movie was at Marina Square. Die Hard 4! Yep, my second time. Haha! I'm willing to watch it the third time actually! It's THAT good!

After the first movie, we had our lunch at Changing Appetites. Finally eh!

Look at their chairs! Ok, I know you only see one here but most of their chairs are like this! Cool hey! =D

Cutlery =).

Sherry love's second iced lemon tea of the day. She had one huge cup during Die Hard 4.

My lovely green tea ice blended! Sherry took my whipped cream, though. Heh. Didn't want whipped cream on my green tea ice blended!

LOOK AT THIS! DEEP FRIED ONIONS!
A bit different from your normal onion rings hey?

We shared some chicken with mushrooms fajitas.

The fajitas were nice and warm!

LOOK AT THE CHEEEEEEEEEEEESE!!!!!

There you go. I'm caught pigging out again.

We then slowly made our way to Vivocity for our next movie, My Wife Is A Gangster 3. That movie wasn't very much of an action movie. More of comedy I'd say. Not too bad I guess. Can pull through =).

BUT I THOUGHT THAT KOREAN GUY WAS SO SWEET LAR! And I've got one question. Do all cute Korean guys speak the same way? He spoke just like Rain in Full House!

After the movie, we walked around a bit more. Actually we already walked a bit before the movie haha and I saw a really nice brown long-sleeved top at Push and Bear but I didn't dare buy it because I was broke. So I'd really love any kind soul who'd buy that top for me ^^.

After some walking, we made our way to The Cathay for dinner. BILLY BOMBERS! FINALLY!

Cheeeeese fries! With bacon bits!

Billy Bomber's Iced Lemon Tea shrunk! =( But it tasted a bit better though. Haha.

After that, we watched our THIRD movie of the day, TRANSFORMERS! Yep! My second time too! And also, I'm willing to watch that the THIRD time! Transformers is just a CLASSIC!!!!!

Went home after that movie. 'Cos Min Ru darling came over for a stayover =)

We didn't do much lar. I was quite tired already and she was editting pictures. I watched her use her laptop till I fell asleep. Lol.

Will blog again real soon!

Went shopping with Daddy and Mummy two Saturdays ago. Mummy and I didn't actually expect Daddy to come along but since he wanted to, why not? =D We went to Scott's Isetan for their Hokkaido fair. Mummy was really hungry so she got quite cranky haha.

We squeezed through the horrendous crowd and queued for some Takoyaki and Japanese pancakes. Walked around further in the supermarket, tried a few more samples. I must say I loved the Japanese cheesecake the best. Haha, no surprise hey?

We had ice cream as our last bite from the Hokkaido fair. I had black sesame, Mummy had green tea and Daddy had this...weird flavour haha. We tried each others' and concluded that we like our own's best =D.

Walked around Isetan. Looked at clothes and stuff. I ended up buying two pairs of Havaiianas flipflops. 10% off first pair, 50% off second pair! Woo!

At the end of the short shop, we were hungry again (yes, this is the Chia family for you). Parents wanted to go take a look at Pepper lunch. But the moment I told them they had to cook their own meat, they turned around. =_=

Walked around in search for a good restaurant and guess what???
My parents found The Ship at Shaw Centre! It's in a nice quiet corner so people who don't actually know that restaurant might not even want to go in.

According to my parents, this restaurant has been around for real long, even before I was born. Mummy said Daddy really loved their steaks and has been searching around for this restaurants for YEARS.
Look at their interior! Special hey! =D

Daddy just couldn't stay still!! That seat got a little too squeashy for my parents so we moved to another seat.

Beautiful beautiful!

We were first served bread with butter spread. Their bread looked like peaches!

Daddy had steak of the day which was cut from...

This wagon. Which was why the dish was called steak on the wagon. Haha. I tried it and it was not bad.

Mummy had steak Diana. Hers was well done. Daddy's was standard since it was off a wagon.

I had the chef's special!!! The cheese was AWESOME!

Parents ordered set meals so they had desserts and coffee. I drank Mummy's coffee AND ate Mummy's mango pudding. Daddy ate his own because I obviously couldn't finish two shares.
The Ship's coffee!

Saw this parked beside our car at the carpark. I just have this weak thing for cars with side mirrors that can fold haha. Actually Daddy's can too just that he doesn't want to. Oh, the car's a BMW Z4 I think. Heh.

After that, we drove to Tampines Mall for some really mad shopping. Mtero at Century Square was having some closing down sale so Daddy wanted to go get some stuff there.

Bought some bed sheets and towels. The crowd was just as horrendous as at Isetan's Hokkaido fair. But we had some really great deals. Cheap bed sheets and towels! =)

That ended our day. I got home really shagged!
