Hairy crab

Hairy crab aka big binding crab (大閘蟹) or Shanghai hairy crab (上海毛蟹)

I have heard lots abt hairy crab and how delicious the roe is... how famous a delicacy in Shanghai cuisine and is prized for the female crab's ovaries. Obviously I had my hopes too high. Last nite, was my first time to savor this delicacy...
I really had my hopes too high, the roe is good but not enough to satisfy me. I thought I will have the orgasmically good feel when I bite on it, but alas.... it was indeed disappointing plus the fact that the meat is not at all sweet... (I also learnt that they are half fresh water as they spend most of their life in fresh water, but they must return to the sea to breed).

Half way while eating, I told my mum and ed that the roe taste more like salted egg yolk. :) It made ed's day cos he laughed non stop when he thought of how many salted egg he can buy with $60 (I got it at a good rate for $20.90 each thru some lobang from Tung Lok).


haha... so much so for my hairy crab. I think I was more intrigue with the crab surviving in my fridge for 2days and the noises they made.

Gummy bears

I swear I am eating too many gummy bears in the office lately...

Too much sugar makes me bloat towards my end cycle....

I am feeling like a balloon now.
Or maybe I am getting fat....
anyway; I should really give it all away, but to who? Who can I trust my bears with? It has to be someone who truly appreciates them... I hope someone just rob my office and steals all these bears away from me. :D

Sentimental possessions

Somewhere along the packing, ed brought over a new handphone which he bought early this year but have yet to use. It sat in my room for 2 weeks until I couldn't take it but took it to work today to fiddle with it. It was a Moto (not sure which model, cos I'm not a moto fan for one). Anyway moto phones always feel good in the hands.

I think I am rather tech savvy (at least to ed). I like playing with new gadgets and exploring them. So when I see a new phone all alone feeling lonely for months without a owner, it bugs me.... I kept asking ed when he is going to transfer his numbers over so he can start using it... but he simply dun seems too interested in it. Beats me, I would be so excited that I'll use it immediately once I get any new "toy". hehe

I think ed is a sentimental person when it comes to material possessions. I guessed he rarely change new things because he tends to developed sentimental feelings for all his stuff. So much so, that his hp is almost 4-5years old. And even if he changes it, he wont trade in or sell it cos to him it has sentimental values.

hmmm... hehe... so cute... somehow I felt good knowing that fact .... :P *wink wink*

Mac Spicy

ta da.... say halo to mac spicy fingers.... !
Your must be wondering what the hell? well... whoever says milk can dissolve chilli hotness in fingers... I guessed we have sort of proven that half right. :P

My dearest ed was helping mum cut some chilli padi and I am not sure how he did it with the chilli brushing all over his fingers... It was so hot and lasted for hours...! he couldn't bath (cos he can’t wash his face and everywhere else with his spicy fingers...haha ;) Washed many times and it didn't helped so he decided to try soaking in milk, so we made do with strawberry milk. hehe... it helped a little... :)

He swears never to touch chilli again. :D

I smell prata

A sudden craving for teh halia one hot nite... so off we went to search for a prata shop nearby... came upon this corner shop ard kembangan area. Not too bad but their teh halia is really too 'gingery' and in fact a little too spicy. Ed came back grumbling that his hair smell of prata and true enuff, it really does... hahahaha... I had a good laugh seeing that "quite irritated" face. He swears never to go back.

Oh he's serious cos he brought it up again today.

btw since when cleaning of coins is "gay-ish"... hahaha.... It didn’t cross my mind at all... :D

B'day celebration

B'day celebration for ZL's bf (oh... husband to be)... looking at both of them and their pics... makes me happy. Maybe I guessed it's really comforting to know that one can find happiness again.... and I so glad she found someone who treasure her so much.

Well, I am also feeling as blissful as her now :P (chuckles)

Month of Sept

Been exactly a year, it was sometime this time of the year that we got news of Pa's cancer. I still can recall how sudden it was. sigh... Just a year and so many things happened and changed. I really miss pa. :(

Bonding

Finally my detox is over! yipppeee.... Ed bought me to cheese cake cafe at 1130pm to celebrate. I was pleasantly taken aback during these few days that he has been so encouraging motivating me all the way, putting up my whim and hunger cries... my fantasing abt food, and to think that he entertained all my tots... haha.

That nite was a start of our bonding session.

Wednesday, August 15, 2007

Almost there, hang on...

I'm 2.5 days into my detox (juicing) prog.... the only thing that is constantly in my mind is FOOD .... !! I cant help thinking what I'm going to eat on friday... haha... goodness.... i'm dying.... not from the hunger but the craving..... :P (I'm drooling now)... ...

Ed told me he support me by eating fruits for lunch during my detox... silly cow is so sweet.

Weekend of sweetness

Another weekend fly passed so quickly. It was so sweet that I just want it to go on and on. At this moment, I just cant help smiling and laughing. :)

For now sweet dreams, sleep tight & dun let the bed bugs bite, if they bite squeeze them tight so they wont come another nite…

Sunday, August 12, 2007

To finland, hopefully soon...

We have suddenly decided to fly to finland to visit my sis, since at this time, we figured that she will really really be happy to see all of us. But man, the tics are atrociously expensive! It simply way off…. 2.6k for a return!! Hopefully can source for cheaper tic. Plan is that I will give up 3 days in paris to fly over to fin to see her…. Tat is if I can find a reasonably priced tic from paris to fin.

Ed is really the sweetest, he really tried most of the website to find out the price for me

Saturday, August 11, 2007

A start

Supposed to meet princess pinkie, jon and ed for dinner at sunset bar & grill, but was cancelled last min. So ended up with junk food at east coast hawker. by then it was super late dinner at 11pm. i felt terribly bad that ed had not eaten so i confessed that i had 3 spoons of chicken rice n few pieces of chaw siew. ok that was enough for him to suan me for the next few hrs... hehe...

Picked princess pinkie up from work and went choco factory again (twice in a week). Dropped her home as she was fast asleep the moment she stepped into the car.

My friday started with a walk at east coast and long talk into the nite till early wee hours... a very fulfilling nite. :) I ended the nite with a very happy feeling and also a saying, "never give ur partner a chance to doubt the r/s"...

Friday, August 10, 2007

Love flying ?

Flying all the way to paris, touch down and catch the next flight back... all just to take the plane back wtih someone.? hmmm... i wonder... is it pure maddness or sweetness? I figured, it is the latter...

Thursday, August 9, 2007

National day

Had a national day celebration with an orgasmic scope of awfully chocolate ice cream with ed. Yummy. I finished mine in record speed and was longingly starting at his. haha... he shake his head and with the very cute look gave me a scope. :P hahahaha ... wat a pig i was.

The dinner was disappointing though. The so called very good japanese ramen at gallery hotel was ok, not as good as it shd be. As usual after dinner we went coffee at choco factory with princess pinkie. She kept bugging abt me and ed and told me that ed n me might just end up being really JUST buddies since there dun seems to be any progess after so long... haha.... well, i said just take it slow...........

Wednesday, August 8, 2007

too many late nite is ...

Feels like a friday to me, so glad tomw is national day. I swear I'm getting old... late nites takes forever to recover.

I must be too tired... dozed off immediately once i reached home at 7pm. must be the tirness, that i had nightmares of big roaches chasing me!!!!!!!! :@ gave up napping and finally dragged myself out for super later dinner at midnite.

Wonders of chocolates ...

Chocolates can make a person happy with one is down, or happier when one is already happy.

A black yet not so black Monday

A bad day at the stock market... STI dropped to the lowest in 3mths... Looks like it's time to have a long rest for me, more of a cold storage for the time being. well, money can always earn back...

I texted Ed to see if he is ok. And surprisingly he was extremely sweet that day or rather he suddenly became more expressive, sweet and concern. haha.

Oh had my belated b'day celebration with Ker, We had northern indian and my goodness, it was yum!! the tandoori chicken is one of the best so far i have tasted.






Shahi maharari will now be my fav Northern Indian. I am already starting to miss the mango lassi. hehe....

Tatoo shopping

Went tatoo shopping with lao shi + wife + daughter. ofcos he drag Ed along. Having only slept 3hrs +, I felt we were like zombies walking ard far east, didn't talk much as we seems to have left our brains at home in bed. haha.

Magic in the air?

A sudden turned of events from friends to … still friends... but closer. I dun know wat. It’s a strange feeling, a comfortable feeling. Is it the magic of au jardin? Beats me? I think there seems to be something, yet it’s far from near.

Proud parents :)

B'day dinner @ Au Jardin

I thought I will spend a quiet bday at home this year.... i really dun mind cos as i aged bday are no big deal. so it does came as a surprised 2 days before my bday, Ed msg me asking me if I'm going to treat them dinner (cos it's a trend in their group to have bday treat from the person), so I say ok and fixed a day next sat to have crabs. I also jokingly ask if he is going to date me. And to my surprised, he said ok he'll buy me dinner at Au Jardin.

I was totally ignorant abt that place initially, never heard of it before (ok I am swa ku). Not till princess pinkie told me how grand that place is and how it’s meant only for couples and many special and memorable celebrations were held there. I got a little concern after that cos it also means that it must cost a bomb… so I told him on the day itself, to go somewhere else and is the thought that counts. But he assured me that it is really not a date, just take it as an experience.

So here we go... ended up having a fantastic dinner at Au Jardin. It was totally enjoyable. I really really had a good time.



A little abt Au Jardin:
Au Jardin means “in the garden” in French. It is set amidst the lush greenery of the gardens and was created to resemble Relais et Chateaux restaurants in europe. Located in an elegant colonial house in the middle of Singapore's lush Botanic Gardens

The ambience is simple and elegantly understated--linen-clad tables, dark wooden floors and an overhanging chandelier.

Our table was located at the upper level, at the glass-paneled balconies overlooking the gardens.

Selected the 4-course Table d'Hote menu. Ed is really such a dear to remb that I love Foie gras! So naturally the course includes that. Wow I must say the foie gras is absolutely divine! Orgasmically good. Haha.

this place is all about ambience. It tells the other person that he/she is special enough to be brought here.

Candle light gives a warm ambience to Au Jardin




Happy 31st to me :)

I'm 31 !!! older and wiser :)

Bao Bao is going Paris too

Yes yes yes...!!! I can finally shout... "Paris here I come!!"

And I can finally say:
bonjour, comment allez-vous ? or even maybe ... voulez-vous dormir avec moi ? ;p

Princess pinkie, bao bao & moi; we're all so excited.

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

The correct mix

I m always intrigued with new things. I love the thrill of discovering, the excitement of not knowing what’s ahead, the lingering feeling of anticipation, and the challenges. Yet when it becomes overly challenging, I run. So the concoction has to be just right.

Monday, July 16, 2007

Nice sunday

I watched Harry Potter. The show was alrite, but becos of all the recent talks abt Transformer, HP sort of gotten mellowed out in a way. But it's different, it's still a must watch thing. It's a fantasy, that i felt I had grown along with all these years.

Well, the company was good :) i really enjoyed the movie. It was just sweet. Dinner company was good too, esp with Princess pinkie and mr designer. Nothing could go wrong. Like Princess pinkie had said, hope there is more to come. :)

Are we sucker for good looks?

This is often the question we debate abt. I often asked myself this ....

“Can I date a ugly man? a fat man? a balding man? a short man?”

Often we jokingly bitch abt how shallow a man can be (although there's somewhat a little truth in it :P ), going for a gal with a pretty face, big boobs, long silky hair, long legs... But then again, we all know most men are visual animals, which clearly also explains why comics are often read by guys. Cos most of them rather see the story rather than forming it in their mind.

Ok I should not generalize here... cos most of us are in some ways sucker for looks too... it's just a matter of how much we can compromised for.

I have been asking myself this as well... I guessed I am not really really particular abt looks, all I asked for is just pleasant looking. Clean clear complexion is impt to me; oily face is a major turn off. I can trade good looks for presentation any day. I am a sucker for how well the person can carry himself. The way he speaks has to be confident with a certain type of air. (I do not need PERFECT English or someone who talks like a lawyer). Intelligent communication is impt, and when I mean intelligent I do not necessary means academically smart.

so do I see myself dating a man not within my standards?? … If yes… but to wat acceptance level? Am I shallow too in some ways... ??

Just very different

Had a short meet up with an old school fre tat day....

I think there are instances that clearly shows how different 2 person can be. At the end of it, I was thinking to myself, non wonder back then even in sch we hardly talked in the lecture, cos we're really different. Actually before the meetup, I was also thinking to myself abt this, but I thought aftter so many years, we must have changed a lot too, and maybe the gap and the differences have narrowed....

ok I was so wrong... and I just hate to say this, cos princess pinkie will just gimme that "see i told u" LOOK.

I dun know how to say exactly how different we. Back then even in school, he's the very guai and studious type. Always attending lecture, taking notes, sitting somewat in the front 10 rows. and me... I'm always late, if not sleeping in class, even if awak I'm dreaming, talking... etc... and definitely in the last 3 rows.

As for now, the differences started when he sat down, so I just started chatting and the thing that surprises me is his reply to me is all chinese. (ofcos I was talking to him in english). The whole thing start to feel weird, the more we talked the more alien we are to each other ... I just acted normal, and tried turning to princess pinkie for help. obviously she isn’t very much of a big help, though I know she tried after a long long while.

After that meeting, he didn’t msg me too! hahahah... he must have felt we're world apart. Although that is the truth, I start to Q myself; Is my expectations way too high?

Friday, July 6, 2007

Just friday

It's Friday, the long waited day of the week. I have no plans, so decided to go drive some balls after work (hopefully not drive myself frustrated). The thing abt golf is you constantly fear you'll loss your swing once you stop for a while, even a short while.

Have made arrangement to go meet an old fre from my poly. Found each other in friendster.

Lately outings with mr dbs is getting super boring. He's such a whim, complains abt everything and it is getting on my nerves. I dun remb anyone who can complain non stop abt everything.

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

LOst without poles

I should be excited... getting my car in a few hours time... am I? :) guessed I am.

but i got a big problem... I dun know how to park without the poles!! haha..... i know i sound silly, but it's freaking me out. hehe. I wonder when I'll get over the phobia of driving out. Erh.... beta be soon TRICIA!!!

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Voom Voom.....

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes finally finally....

It's the long waited accomplishment. To a lot of ple, it's no big deal but to me... it is :)

I finally get my license at the age 30+++ I dun know what took me so long to wanna learn driving despite my passion for F1, cars specs, and car performances... I love high performance cars, big exhaust, BBS rims, loud manly engine noise... actually I like beng cars like evo 9, Integra type R, Euro R etc... :D hehe that's me talking for sure....

ok... I'm super happy, I couldn't stop smiling the whole day... so happy that I went mad suddenly and went to buy a new phone...

Ta da......!! my new sony ericsson K810i in ivory gold!

My favourite parts of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Remb the memorable

Remember the memorable, discard the unmemorable... "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind"

The movie title Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is actually a quotation from a popular poem by Alexander Pope Eloisa to Abelard. I watched this movie sometime back, and recently by chance I gotta see it again... this time watching it the 2nd time round... I appreciate the work beta...

here's a part of the peom...

"... ... How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
"Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep;
"Desires compos'd, affections ever ev'n,
Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.
Grace shines around her with serenest beams,
And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams.
For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes,
For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring,
For her white virgins hymeneals sing,
To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
And melts in visions of eternal day.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "

A belated b'day dinner

I had a lovely dinner with Edwin at Menotti. A very belated bday dinner for him. I suggested Menotti cos it was one of my fav rest in city hall... Confession, "I was thinking of my fav salad that's why". :P

I m really glad he likes the food. Phew. and dessert was at clark q "Nectarie". Again... another of my fav cake place. ok ok.....! now I am feeling a little bad, cos it's all my fav places... hehe... but then good things must share rite? hehe

Speaking of this bday date that I had.... the friendship with Ed was developed in an amazing way. Thanks to Friendster and the boo boo he made when he dropped me a message which was not quite sincere, cos it was more like a cut and paste message to the masses.... and I so happened to read the long message, amazed on how much a person can write to someone for the first time while at the same time catching a mistake which he wrote and I can instantly point out. hehe so I decided to be terrible and told him off. So that started the virtual friendship. And how strange he soon became my Mac guru cum helpdesk :P He certainly made my life easy and fuss free. :)

The most amazing thing is, we only met once and that was like half year ago... but it just doesn’t feel that way, no strange and uneasy feelings. I guessed that is becos he's always there in my "cyberspace"... So there is a sense of familiarity.

I am glad he enjoy the food and the place.

Living for the moment ?!

Do you believe in "just living for the moment?"

For one, I don't.
When I say "just living for the moment?" refers to just "enjoy the company" of each other, not in any serious commitment, nothing firm basically, no expectations just enjoy how things are at the moment...

I was throw a proposition yesterday abt this. To me it was a straight NO.
I dun believe in "just living for the moment and "enjoy the company" of each other, not thinking abt any future. Maybe I am a far sighted person, I dun like uncertainties less non exclusive r/s. I also realized I am not up for it or interested in any "games". Cos I cannot be in a "play" while I look for another all at the same time.
Has relationships evolved to be so complex these days that there are 101 methods? Isn't it the simple way anymore whereby: Boy like Girl and getting together to see if things work? .... No?!

See how things go

"I guess im just not ready. But we can just continue n see how things go.." quote un-quote

R all men freaks ?!

As the saying goes… if the men are over 35 and single, there’s something wrong. But wat abt us gals?

Well.... we’re just choosing.

Recently, I cant help but feel that some of these ple I met are weird. Moments they might seem ok and very nice, but it’s always some of the things that they say or do, suddenly freak me out…. I dun even know how to say it here!

Meanwhile wat I wanna do is to run away. They can go claim their temporary insanity, just count me out.

Life's a bet

I came across this in a friend's blog....

"wonder how many wrong ones do one have to meet in order to get to the right one? guess life's a bet.. u never try u never know..."

This was exactly wat I was telling my best friend yesterday. She is afraid of Falling in love becos of fearing of "falling out". I told her that there is a risk in every r/s. You never try you never know.

"3rd party" meeting...

Sitting by the busy walk-way of Clark q, sipping mint tea.... Supposed to be nice but without any great company of friends... the tea is just tea. Keeping watch from afar, making sure that things are in order (we're too old for any cat fights, so I'm not worried abt tat... haha). For 2 hrs, thing seems ordinary. It's like 2 business associate talking over coffee. Nothing too friendly or hostile. Just business like.

I was thinking, "is this it? Just causal business talks, hmmm.... ?" ofcos the main agenda has yet to be discussed....

I see the changed in attitude and body language, and suddenly both were smoking non stop. My take is, ok the serious discussion has started.

Another hr passed.... wat now? What more is there to talk? Seriously nothing said now will improve the situation.... whatever my fre say is not going to make her feel any better or less betrayed.... I was feeling hot and tired... and hungry. For once I was so glad when the pasty shop closed... meaning it's the end of talk!!! sigh... I hope both gals never have to meet and talk again....

Monday, June 4, 2007

Keeping quiet....

Silence does not always mean consent... ... There is a saying, "when you have nothing good to say, dun talk."

That is probably the best way to avoid any confrontation... I get it.

4hrs dinning @ Pontini


Had a fantastic dinner with Edmund and Lao shi. In fact one of the longest dinner I had in a long time. We were there from 8pm till 12midnite. All for a 6 course dinner.
Well fine dinning, good ambient and good food does comes with a price...
The 4hrs dinning experience cost $700. *faint* Edmund's treat to us...
Thanks to Ming... haha ... ...
I had a bet with Edmund last Fri, loser paid for dinner at any Italian rest. So we ended up at Pontini's. But I was shocked that he left the choice to the chief to whip up something for us! almost fainted with I heard that, cos knowing that fact, the bill for sure cost a bomb! Overall it was a fun nite with the guys.



A highlight of wat I ate that nite...


Thinly-sliced marinated salmon with arugula
*

Parma ham wrapped ard buffalo mozzarella cheese

*
Spaghetti with saffron truffle shavings and green asparagus (I just learnt that saffron truffle is one of the most delicious, sophisticated elements of traditional northern Italian cuisine, and very expensive as well. Heard a small truffle can cost a few thousands. Therefore mostly sold by grams.)

*


Tender lamb shank with saffron truffle mashed potatoes
*
Thinly-sliced braised pig trotter with pan fried Foie Gras and onion confit

*
Vanilla hazelnut parfait with seasonal fruits served on Martin glass of lychee sherbet with melons

*

Being single

I'm backed on tracked having a very busy social life. It's not very interesting or exciting, just simple busy with activities.

The funny thing is I am so used to this routine, that it starts to feel a little strange when someone requires more of my attention and time. For one mr dbs assumed that I will be spending today with him cos it's the eve of holiday. (beats me...). Anyway, I already made dinner and after dinner plans with friends.
Lately I realized I am so used to this single lifestyle ...??? or Maybe becos I have not met anyone that sweeps me off my feet to feel different.?? :D Speaking of which, it has been ages since anyone really sweep me off my feet...
Anyway, it's PH tomw. Plan is range then home with mummy.

It has been 13days.... I'm still waiting. Like I said, I hate waiting for anything.

Some self test ...(try it out yourself)

I got my Golf PC !!!

Went for my PC test today… overall I think I did alrite!
My 1st tee off was bad. But after 2 holes, I sort of relax a little. In fact was rather please with a few of my tee off! Think my 4 woods can go abt 130m? But my iron didn’t do so well… more practice needed.




We played taxes scrabble style, so I guessed tat made things a lot easier and faster. The caddy that I had was very good, in fact she amazes me how she can see where my ball is!
There was a particular shot that I was searching so hard for my ball together with Daniel and she can point from far directing me where it is! And it was like just 2 meters away embedded in the grass! Wow … haha. I think we must be blind. Her name is Rimi, will look for her the next time I’m there again.


The most memorable shot for the day: There was a par 3 with water. And wala, I managed to cross the water. The feeling is freaking good!




I have to work harder now so that I can take my handicap soon before my pc expires and before my passion wears off.
