Happy Birthday Miko!

its miko darling's 4th birthday today! i am glad its on a sunday... however the weather was quite bad since early morning... been raining the whole day long... initially had arranged to bring miko go beach or park to walk ard n have some fun... waited for dear to come n pick us up go pasir ris park in the early noon... upon reaching my place, the rain was quite heavy already... nonetheless, miko was soo enthusiatic in going to walk, thus we go ahead with the plan despite the rain... just hoping tat the rain will stop when we reach pasir ris park...

its still raining very heavily when we reached pasir ris park... could not let miko go down n walk as she would get very wet and its hard to dry her... many pple were leaving the place as many were already packing up n getting their cars already... we stopped for a while only, and let miko see the outside... have to coax her n make her happy as she wanna go out n walk... will definitely bring miko go the park again when its not rainy season...

upon reaching back home, we had a quick lunchie... we took out miko's cake in the fridge and showed her... she was soo happie tat she kept running in circles... haha... the cake was rather ordinary... kinda disappointed with usdb bakery nowadays... they used to be soo popular with their dog food n the cakes esp... it used to be very soft n spongy... but today's cake was hard and the taste aint good... its our 4th year into supporting them, disappointed tat their cake was no longer nice... despite tat, miko ate her cake happily... took some pics of her n the cake... haha...

i wish miko will be happy n healthy alwaz, u r the baobei in our family... we all love u a lot...

Cheers,

Backie at here!

Training on my own for the 1st time!

yesterday trained alone for the 1st time... without kevin by my side... can said tat i am a bit lost, panicked a bit cos i dunno wat the weights to use...

no choice, gotta go back office work on sat whole day tat i have to cancel my training... haiz... went to the gym early b4 i go back office since its nearby only... no excuse of not going at all... :p was not feeling very well but still went ahead to the gym... was very empty with a few pple ard only... ya, can count by my 10 fingers... haha... some were at the treadmills and machines... none at the free weights and only 1 guy with his trainer at the stretching area...

did some warm up and proceeded to the stretching area with my green band n do my stuff... saw the guy with his trainer, his trainer was helping him with some stretching... went over to the free weights there since nobody is at there... felt less stressed like tat... did my squats 1st... went over for deadlifts then... started with 30lbs... not very heavy... then changed to 40lbs... wanna take the 50lbs, but then its at the top rack! freaking difficult to shift it down given my height... :( so i sticked with 40lbs for the remaining 2 sets... by this time, i gained some pple's attention on me... one of them was a personal trainer sitting at his desk doing some paper wall... from the mirror i know he is looking at me... then there was this guy with his trainer was like wow! then was another lady with his trainer who a bit freaked out and din wanna use her dumb bells and train... hmm... weirdz sia... one of the lady was complaining to the trainer tat her thighs ached! i know the feeling! i know! she said it was very aching and she dunno y... she was actually doing something which i totall dunno wats tat and it has to do with legs lor... when her thighs ached, i wanna said, u gotta foam roll! she went over with her trainer to the stretching area and the trainer used a ball n rub or roll for her... hmm... y dun they just teach their clients on how to do so tat they learn?

the lats is too high up for me to reach sia... gave up on tat cos when i tried bringing it down, my shoulder pain! went to do the rowing thing, which i like a lot... haha... lastly was bench press... then went for my hiit... 3 cycles only and i wanna puked already... no more strength to continue... haha... tired sia...

shall do better the next time round...

Cheers,

Match making attempts on tues!

was trying to match make maurice with cailing and angela... also as a chance for them to know more frenz... not sure how did the match making turn out... as i was only involved in their first meeting... :p

maurice came down to have lunchie with cailing and me at harry's bar... followed by dinner at gelare with angela... i felt like an extra there... haha... cos i din do much of the talking... should let the newly made frenz do the most talking mahz...

Lunch at Harry's Bar
forgot the name of this dish as it sounds like some italian name... *paiseh*
had the same meal as maurice... cailing had dory fish and its quite a large serving too...
ambience was quite great at Harry's Bar as its not very crowded... mostly are office executives eating there... waited a while for the food... and we were really very hungry... haha... ah, and the food was nice... i liked mine at least... their french fries were great too... :p



and now comes my sinful dinner! all thanks to angela for her fantastic suggestion... despite the fact tat i cannot eat tat... she still suggested tat so i guess i have no choice at all!

Dinner at Gelare
lets start off by taking a look at the nice menus i have snapped! haha...
colourful menus nicely created... i like the colour tones they are using for their menus... suits
them a lot...




The sinful sundaes menu!
Apparently tues was a sundae day! Having promotions for their sundaes...

Our dinner:

Training with di and joo!

it has been of a great motivation to let di n me train together....

on wed, we had trained together at jurong west sports complex... a lot of communications to and for with di cos he din know the exact way... haha... but its real fun to scheduled both of us together... to be able to see how di does his deadlifts and squats etc... and we sorta rotate between ourselves... haha... i guess, having another buttie to workout together is real good... at least we r more sporty? for me ba... its been like 1 or 2 weeks i din get to meet joo for training as was very busy previously... glad i din lose my form... and i tink i done a bit better compared to past few sessions when i cannot lift heavier weights or go a bit further down... yeahz, more to go!!! i can do better than all these! i know i can!

went dinner at botak jones near boonlay shopping centre there... wow, the place damn ulu if u asked me... only been there few times and we roughly make our way there in the dark... haha... got lost for a moment... but then its super easy to get back to my place wor! there is this shortcut thingy, a straight route from my place to reach there!!! hmph!

Our dinner time! *slurpz*

Cajun chicken - di and me had this... looks yummy???

U crazy or wat - Joo had this!

Cheers,

last nite went chong qing with dear... hmm... soo happie... cos dear said wanna go steamboat... i tot from the last few times he dun really seem to enjoy steamboat cos he is a small eater n will become full after a while... :p reached chong qing ard 6.40pm and the queue was damn long! waited patiently for our turn and chatting... hmm... ard 7.10pm we got a seat... quite comfortably seated as the table was quite big n its meant for a few pple lor...

ate the usual stuff... ordered soup based as chicken stock n pork bone... hmm... i tink pork bones taste nicer than chicken stock... lolz... after much brewing, chicken stock also very nice... :p had lotsa prawns (my fav, no choice), fish, meat, vegetables and mushrooms! soo yummy! my turn to feel full this time... haha... dear can still eat maggie mee with the soup... i was like soo full already lor...

left the place feeling full n satisfied... happie customers... by then it was 8.30pm already... no queue anymore... next time when we got our car can come anytime when we can... :p

Dinner at Botak Jones!

hmm... went for early dinner at Botak Jones Clementi... not muchie queue at all... quiet as well... however 2day weather was very hot... humid lor... before dinner went back office work n clear some stuff, not too bad! then went to a site visit with dear... never been b4... haha...

ordered the food n waited for a while... hmm... was thinking how come they had soo many number of staff when i see quite a few of them were slacking n talking??? here comes the food! guessed its been quite a while since i ate botak jones! cannot remember since when their serving becomes soo small! the portion for fish was quite pathetic lor... :( give me soo muchie fries also no use cos i aint a fries lover! towards the end of the meal, dear and i were comparing rasa sayang at amk s11 with botak jones... and i would say s11 is definitely better than botak jones! suddenly a guy from botak jones came up from my back n asked me hows the food, whether am i satisfied or not... lolz... i was a bit surprised but replied tactically tat food is not too bad... i noticed tat he looked a bit shocked n stunned n took him a few seconds b4 he replied me... he said there r more fries available at their kitcken, anytime if i wan, i can request them to top up... enjoy ur meal at botak jones... haha... at tat pt in time, my plate was still full of the fries lor! :p anyway, its quite a good service by this fellow...

here's the pics:
Fish and Chip - $6.50



















Cajun Chicken - $7.50

My N73 spoilt!

arghz! dunno wats wrong with my n73 this noon... from morning its been working and all of the sudden after lunch, it kept prompting low memory, to delete some data first... ah, so i tried to del some data away, but the stupid phone totally dun let me open up any files or any sms in order to del data!!! wat a stupid phone rite? if u dun let me open up any files, how to del??? i guess nokia really need to re-hire their engineers when it comes to innovate... keep prompting the message is not good enuff as i cannot del anything!!! this for the whole noon to evening, i am very handicap cos i have no mobile phone to use! wats my frustration? can u imagine i have appt with someone and i need to contact tat person??? wat happens if i run into danger and i need to use the phone but the stupid n73 cannot allow me to? my blood boils everytime when my hp got problem! this is not the 1st time that my hp runs into low memory... occasionally, this issue will come back... its definitely not because i have too many things inside my phone memory... sometimes, its just some caller alerts or ringing tone tat is causing this problem... however i have ever since switched to nokia default tone! and this problem still persists! then i really dunno riaos... came back home been trying to troubleshoot this problem, but cannot get it solved... only managed to reduce a bit of the phone memory but not enuff to do muchie things... guess i have no choice but to send my n73 to service centre n get it repaired! yet, i need to find a spare 3g phone 1st else i would be uncontactable for the whole weekend! just slightly over 1 year, this phone had been giving me lotsa troubles!!! haiz...

conclusion: no more nokia phones for me! definitely no more N series phones cos their symbians n os really shuckz a lot!!! applications hang, with all sorts of farnie error message coming up!

Cheers,

just tried out the bah kut teh at lau pa sat... the soup taste a bit sweet and not too peppery... but then, the auntie gave me 4 pork ribs... 3 r big size and only 1 tat is smaller size... sufficient for me riaos... bought a vegetable too... hmm... then got fruits... my meals 2day r sort of completed... :D

Steamboat at Ting Yuan

yesterday had a small gathering with my ex colleague from ocbc, whom r my good frenz... initially our plan was to go chong qing for steamboat... however, upon reaching there with them and gina, the queue was damn long! joc n na din wanna wait for soo long, so we faster tink of a backup plan... suggested either xian de lai or ting yuan... these 2 shops were rather near each other... so we went to check out xian de lai... find it to be a bit more ex than the ting yuan... so we decided for ting yuan...

not very crowded when we reached there ard 7pm... went to the 2nd floor... ordered quite a bit of stuff n waited patiently for the food to come... so we chit chat while waiting... din wait for very long, probably like 10mins... our 1st round of food emptied quite fast... perhaps all of us were hungry... :p had mala soup and chicken soup... mala a bit too strong for my liking... the chicken soup taste quite nice...

wat we ate: pork balls, luncheon meat, hotdogs, crabsticks, pork belly, pork slice, chicken slice, fish meat, prawns, squids, golden mushrooms, abalone mushrooms, spinach, cabbage. we ate more of pork slice, chicken slice, fish meat, prawns, golden mushrooms and spinach... :p
the prawns were quite big n fresh... the fish meat also taste very nice n fresh! chong qing would have more varieties!
wat we drink: 1 jug of lime juice... we din drink a lot so its quite enuff for us... however, if u r a big drinker, then 1 jug is definitely not enuff for u... :p per jug at $6... per glass is at $3... so of cos, i would choose jug... haha... this is where chiong qing is muchie better than ting yuan as the drink is free flow...

total for the 3 of us cost $68.20... hmm... will not go back again... no doubt the food standards were quite ok... however its too ex... chong qing offers more variety and food is of same or better standard then ting yuan... its also muchie cheaper than ting yuan with its free flow if drinks...

oh ya, if u intend to smell nice after the steamboat, then would tink tat ting yuan is not a place for u... i stink a lot after leaving ting yuan due to its poor ventilation... throughout the dinner, the mala pot hot air kept flowing to my direction... even after today i bathe n washed my hair, my hair still have the smell! this would really stop me from going to ting yuan riaos...

Cheers,

Aching now!

this morning training with kev really tiring sia... did a lot of things... wow, till i cannot also remember the names of the things tat i did... but definitely, it made me sweat a lot! now, muscles aching... my hamstring feels ok 2day... have not been feeling very stretch cos i am doing 2 sets of 10 at home everyday... i love the feeling of the tightened hamstring... :p now is shoulders and hands aching... biceps a bit too... so my hands r feeling weak 2day... haha...

but i am loving 2day session... did a lot of things n b4 i realised, the time is up! i used 1hr to do so many things! i feel tired... but then i felt more energised... more to go!

did i say? i can wear the levis hot pants riaos! yeahz! i am soo happie now... hee... :p

Cheers,

New diet:
Morning breakfast - either protein shake or fruits or charsiew/ chicken bao (peel all the skin out, just eat the meat)

Went for steamboat again!

this noon went for steamboat again... at chong qing zheng zhong ma lai huo guo...
noon has lesser crowd... food is equally as good... so i guessed i would prefer steamboat lunchie than dinner... haha...

ate little than usual cos perhaps gastric... so no appetite to eat muchie... however, i still ate a lot of prawns!!! :p prawns is my fav, cannot dun eat... haha... i realised something at chong qing there... the luncheon meat is very nice... dunno y... its just a bit different from wat we usually ate... haha...

seems like the tables ard me really can eat a lot... haha... went for 3 rounds only and i am full... dunno y feel soo full also cos ate little things only... :p many pple ate a lot of crabs!!! i am soo lazy to peel the crabs lor... so rather not eat cos soo messy n hard... prawns is good enuff for me... and they r quite big n fresh! good!

though now got a bit of tummy ache, but will still go there for steamboat again... haha... was wondering should i give ting yuan and xian de lai a try next time... :p

for $18 nett at chong qing, its really good!

Cheers,

Happy Birthday Mummy!

its my mama birthday on 28th may... :)

went to imm ajisen for dinner cos mum loves the ramen there... after dinner, went to giant shopping... din bought muchie stuff... mum went to daiso bought some tidbits... i dun like any at all...

then suggested to go guardian to look at skincare... quite a lot of brands at imm guardian... went to kose n look ard... items were ex and could not find a staff to explain to us... went on to other counter brands but was not very impressive at their range... went over vichy but the SA was very busy with another customer... was actually interested in La Roche Posay items... waited for quite long then its my turn riaos! asked abt the moisturiser, toner... tried on the compact foundation... wow, the shade is real good on my skin... it blends damn well... looks very natural... but still, din buy... anyway the shade is out of stock... haha... tried on the moisturiser... absorbs well... almost instantly... decided very muchie tat i am going to buy this... then enquire abt the toner... cos i really feel the need to use toner as my pores have started to look more visible on my skin... the SA poured quite a generous bit of toner on my hands... wow, its quite good... not sticky n dun smell farnie... cooling effect too... then she went on to tell us more on the products... find her knowledgeable... mum said she wanna buy something for her pigmentation... ok, i really tink mum needs tat cos her skin on the face have started to become very eneven due to the pigmentation on her cheeks... its really kinda obvious like she have 2 tones lor... the SA intro us a facial wash which can be used daily, and lighten the pigments... since its mum bday, bought tat for her as her pigmentation is casuing her some problems on her cheeks...

all of us went back home to cut cake... bought mum a cake from awfully chocolate, chocolate banana... mum loves it... went thru heavy rain to collect the cake... hope mum n my family loves the cake...

happy birthday mummy! and i love you... :)

lets talk abt the food there...
tried quite a few dishes...
only the grilled cod fish taste the best among those i ate... 1 small piece of grilled cod fish cost $9.80... definitely not full eating this small slice...
next that is nice would be the rosti... cost $9.80...
lastly, i think the gelato is nice! and gelato is like normal standard like wat u can get from outside... $3.50 per scoop... hmm... ex rite?

there is a prticular drink i would like to recommend... its super nice i tink... 1st time tried it cos gina recommended it... ice yuzu with honey... its a drink tat have some slices of pomelo and the skin of pomelo... tink cost ard $3??? cannot remember... haha...

had other food like grilled prawns, yakitori, tempura... normal only i would say... but its not cheap lor... some of the cooks there were japanese! but standards so so only lor...

sashimi is not tat nice, so u guys can save the $$$ also... :p

total of 13 pple, total bill came to $446.05...

ask me whether will i go again... nopez, not at all...

Cheers,

just backie from gym!!!

weighed myself and found myself fatter by 1kg... :(

might be water retention as i have not been drinking a lot of water recently...
but no doubt, when i see myself in the mirror, tummy is smaller... lesser fats lor...

my 1st set of side bridge can last 30secs... but the 2nd set like 10secs n i gave up cos too tired on my hands...
