Baking is fun! :)

I finally get to watch You are the Apple of my Eye!


It is a nice show. It brings back lots of memories when I was a teenage. I'm still young now okay. It just reminds me of how childish and how vulgar the boys are. I don't remember seeing anyone masturbate in class though. Ha ha! They did say about it if I remembered correctly.

Anyway, the show kind of resembles our lives. Like knew a couple of good friends in a school then graduation came. It was kind of exciting to move on in a new chapter in life. However, old friends starts to move away slowly though some still stayed in contact. 

I still kind of upset of the ending. All in all, it is a great movie. :)


The other movie that I watched this week is Puss in Boots. 


It is a funny and interesting movie. If you are feeling sad or feeling down, it is a good watch! I kind of like the story line with a little of twist in between. 

We celebrated Uncle's & Grandma's birthday at De Beer Seafood Restaurant last Sunday & a BBQ yesterday! Lot of food and cakes. Fattening! Time for exercising into schedule! 


Chocolate Log Cake! 

Rainnie came to Singapore a while for her convocation. We met her for dinner on Monday as she went back on Wednesday. We ate at this Uncle  Leong Seafood Restaurant at Toa Payoh Lorong 8. It is in a industrial area. The butter crab is nice. My uncle knows how to cook them too! Ha ha! The price is quite steep though. The food is great overall especially the butter crab. 

I baked chocolate muffins again! :)





I shall be making these next time! :)

Biscuits! :)
I first ate these is in Popeyes. Buttery taste, very nice. Then I ate at Texas Chicken. I think the biscuit tasted better as compared to Popeyes. It is still moist on the inside, still not too dry. Really wanted to make them. Ha ha! :)


Okay, that's all. 

Look out for more updates soon! :)

In Time!


I watched In Time. Wanted to watch You are the Apple of my Eyes but left only the first two rows. I really had bad experience watching the first few rows so no thanks. I paid for the movie I deserve a better seat. Okay fine, I didn't pay for the movie this time round.

It is still an okay movie I would say. Although I kind of like the thriller and wanted to watch it. It is just using time for currency just like real life. And the people life span is in accordance to the time indicated on everyone's hand as you can see the green code on the male actor. It can go up to thousands even. People buy things with time and instead of getting pay, they got time. And time is transferable. Once the time is up, this is the end of a life.

Interesting yet unrealistic. There are parts that are exciting whereby a few seconds the actors are going to die and my brain is guessing is he or she going to die. At least not a boring show. I kept thinking is a good thing as well. Because need not worry that forget to bring wallet out. Just use the time. But time could be stolen and it is dangerous! Ha ha!


Baking for the month is chocolate muffins! :)



That's all folks. :)

Apologies for the disappearance!

I didn't post for like 2 weeks already! That is like record breaking! 


These 2 weeks I been to like 2 church events. I'm not a Christian but I respect all religions. 


One is my cousin's BBQ. We played games like concentration, murderer, monopoly deal while waiting for the food to be ready. A lot of people but I don't think the food is enough for everybody. I ate a little. I made a couple of new friends. They are really nice and friendly people. What impressed me is that we watched this movie after everything named Temple Grandin.



The movie depicts the true story of Temple Grandin who is a woman with autism. Austim is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication and by restricted and repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is 3 years old. Sometimes I wonder if I ever had autism before as I'm totally so anti-social at times and don't want to communicate with people. I hate to explain myself because if you trust me, you don't need to question me, just be there for me and support me. Okay, kind of out of point. Back to the story. 

She had a good science teacher back in high school. She is very interested in Science and solved all problems that the Science teacher posted to her despite all the bullies from her schoolmates. She eventually developed an interest for cattle when she works at her auntie's cattle farm. She is known for developing a hug device to calm herself. There were a lot of commotions about this device that she had developed. She later had a room mate who is blind and eventually become close friend. Despite many challenges and bullies, she rebuilds a new dip and alters a slaughterhouse for cows that is more human. She got support from her family and friends along the way and changed to be able to communicate. 

I really felt touched. Because as an autistic, she is still able to preserver and overcome all challenges. While me, a normal person who gave up easily whenever I met with challenges. And I'm really envy her that she found or knew what she wanted in life but till now I'm still don't know what I really like. It is a really worth to watch movie! Watch to get inspired. I cried in the movie with people I just know for barely half a day so you can imagine how touching it is. 



Next Church event is a service by City Harvest in Suntec. That day, Suntec was totally crowded, there were Cosplay & this IT fair as well. Okay, out of point again. The service hall was almost filled with people. The speaker is pastor John Bevere. He is not bad looking ang mo and his 4 sons are damn good-looking too from the photo he showed us. Okay, out of point!! 

His topic for the session is about adversity and hardship. What is our reactions when we are faced with adversity or hardship? Is like we are so negative, depressed and demoralized and can't believe it that why is it happening to ourselves. 

What do we know about adversity? Firstly, we need to know that adversity WILL happen and be ready to face it. Secondly, face all adversity positively. Thirdly, we will have the strength to overcome the adversity and move up to a higher level. Finally, be Relentless means be unstoppable and don't give up to all adversity! 

He just published a book named Relentless talking about adversity. 

Good session. 

I went to Ramen Champion for the 3rd time. This time with Uncle Law. 











The noodles and the soup are separated. The noodles are to dip into the soup. If I'm not wrong it is called Tetsu. The noodles is not bad. The noodles is cold and the soup is warm. The soup is a little too salty. I like the meat! Although it is a little too salty as well for some.


Went to Wendy's 20th birthday party!
Nice birthday cake! :)




My share of cake! 



That's all folks for the update! :)

Loves,

A day out on a Sunday!

Finally Fiona and Jing Yi met after so long! Oh ya, Billy Yang came along too. We went to Medz at Ochard Central. 




Rosti! I personally think Marche one is still nicer! Though Marche is much more expensive!  It is kind of wet. 


Chicken! Okay, not too bad. 

Mushroom! This is nice! 

Rosti with weird tasting sausage 

Hot Plate Chicken with mushroom cheese. Taste a bit weird. But still edible. 

This is not too bad. 

Butter rice. Still okay. 

Crepes. Still okay



To conclude, the food is not as fantastic as I think it would be. Other than the rosti, the rest is not that cheap. Take for example the mug root beer cost S$2.80. Like seriously. Marche like S$3 plus and it is nicer root beer. And the ice cream, one scoop of ice cream cost S$4.50. It doesn't look like a fantastic ice cream, just a normal ice cream from tub. In the same building, I think I mentioned before, there is this Cold Stone selling ice cream, just a few dollars more, can have a more decent ice cream. Other than the mushroom that is the best, the rest are still quite okay. So I guess, no more Medz in the future.

We saw this shop at Centre Point. It is a designer cake shop! It is so beautiful that you don't even she de to eat the cake!

After some shopping at Centre Point. We took a break at Starbucks and more questions from them!


Chef Tony's that sell popcorn.
 Uncle Law mentioned that this is the best popcorn he ever eat as compared to Garrett. I think he kind of exaggerate. It is not bad. Just different style. Like Chef Tony has more favors and lighter in the taste and the caramel is not as churchy as compared to Garrett. The Mocha-chino is pretty nice. I bought the country cheddar, cheese favor as I love cheese. Taste like cheese balls. Ha ha! If I'm not wrong, their popcorn is imported from US and they don't have a specific shop. They would have push cart shops set around the island. Each push cart would last for a few days I guess.

Country Cheddar! 
The other day, a stranger approached me and he was so charming and so good at convincing that I didn't even think of rejecting him. So I bought a voucher for S$30. After buying it, I don't think it is really worth it. Damn it. It is a 1-to-1 lunch and dinner voucher at big O. Only valid at Wheelock Place. So anyone interested in big O, come find me okay. We shall eat together. Ha ha!

That's all forks.

Love,
Sam

Updates again!

I seriously think that my readers only left with Shang Yi & Mad, my loyal readers. Ha ha! Mad didn't say what she wants to read. But Shangz mentioned that she wants to know what is going on in her friends' life. So here I am updating about my interesting life. Ha ha!

Where did I last stop?

Oh, last last Saturday, I went to meet Mad & Shangz for breakfast at Long John Silver. I was late once again. Of all place Long John Silver. I wasn't in a really good mood. Sleepy. Like seriously come all the way from my house to have Long John Silver. Like have some local delicacies I don't really mind. But I guess it is very hot outside and the food court in Junction 8 is not very good I guess. It is the company that counts after all.

On last last Sunday, I went cycling with uncle Law. On our way home, we dropped by this airport road coffee shop to have noodles. Trust me, there are lots of choices, you are spoiled for choices. I wanted to take away the bean curb, got 2 stalls there very nice that I have heard of. But after I have finished eating, both of them were closed. Like seriously? And only re-opened after 5.30pm. The time was 3pm when we finished eating. Damn it. I still haven't got the chance to eat the bean curb there! Totally sianz. It was a fun day! :)

Then last Saturday, I was super bored. Probably due to the fact that someone is away from Singapore to entertain me. I think I tried to date out all my possible friends? And finally, Pauline agreed to go out with me. She wanted to buy a scarf at H&M. So there we go and she bought a pink scarf which suits her skin color I think. Like I mentioned before if I ever mentioned, H&M currently the clothes are more towards winter clothes. I wasn't that interested when I first stepped into it. But now that I'm going to Korea in Dec I need a few winter clothing I guess. So one winter jacket cost around S$70 plus. Does it worth it? I have no idea as I never bought before. Someone please advise. But I think H&M is still relatively cheaper as compared to brands like Dorothy Perkins & Zara. The winter jacket in Zara I saw is like S$100 over close to S$200 that kind.

Following that, I think I am so crazy that I followed Pauline home just to have the bean curb near her house. It is the F & B if I remembered correctly. Shangz came along and crap with us. They both teased me. Fine.

One of the weekdays, I made almond jellies! I think I put too much almond essence, the almond smell is seriously strong when eaten. But anyway, it was gone last Sunday after the family gathering at my house. My mum cooked pig's trotter vinegar. One of the favorite dishes with my mum & her family.

Almond jellies in egg shell! :)

Almond jellies in moulds. 

Sunday, my secondary school friends went to Medz @ Ochard Central. It is similar to Marche but cheaper. I didn't join them for dinner though. I was so tired the whole day that I slept almost my whole day and have piercing pain in one part of my body that I complained to my mum several times. I didn't even bother entertaining my family members when they came my house, I just slept. Like seriously. Okay, at least I made it to their photo taking session. You may want to see the photos in Facebook with lots of comments. Ha ha! 

Shangz bought me a packet of caramelcrisps popcorn from Garrett. There is still some in my fridge. I can't believe that it can be kept for so long. It is still crunchy and sweet. Can't really eat much at one go as there a "ni " (4) feeling. Means the taste can become sick after a while. Thanks Shangz for brightening up my day. :)

On Deepavali, went out for lunch with my University friends at Great World City.  




This is the egg omelette that Charmaine had ordered. The looks doesn't look appealing so we compared that we can do better that. But after trying it, the taste is not bad. This egg omelette costs S$12 btw.   

This is the pancake that ordered by Vera. I didn't try it. But should be not bad. It is not very filling I guess as she  was hungry after a while and we accompanied her to eat fried hokkien mee after that.

The rest of us ordered Big Breakfast that comes with bread and egg (fried/ poached) , bacon , sausages, hashed brown, tomato and mushrooms. I think is not bad. This cost S$17. Seriously, expensive. But is good, especially the mushroom.    
This is the one I ordered. with poached eggs. I love the eggs. It is still running. I don't like cooked ones. Ha ha! 
 Went to shop after that... Went to Forever 21. Florence got a coupon of 20% discount. Florence and Vera each bought a pair of shoes. They said I lure them to buy. Like seriously? Shoes are never a lot. Opps. It is time to tidy and clear the shoe cupboard. Like seriously, it is in a mess!

A dress I bought at Forever 21. Costs S$39 before discount. 
A pair of boots I bought at Forever 21. I think it comes in handy when  in Korea I guess. I love this boots. :) costs S$45 before discount.
A heart-shape ring I bought at this push cart shop at Orchard Central. I  fall in love with it. If only is someone bought it for me. Ha ha! It cost S$6. Kind of expensive right?


There is this Taiwan delights till 6 Nov at Takashima basement. But it is seriously more expensive as compared to when you go to Taiwan. If you want to have a taste of what sort of snacks you can eat in Taiwan, you can go there without travelling and wasting air tickets, so I guess is much cheaper. Ha ha! 

I had ice cream at Cold Stone with Andrea. And we talked about someone. Ha ha! The ice cream is good definitely. We ordered this, what is the name of it? Chocolate batter something. Anyway, it is chocolate ice cream with oreo and brownie inside. I'm so going to try chocolate devotion the next time I'm going there. It costs S$8.90 for 6oz with waffles. Waffles at additional S$1. Andrea said it tasted better then Cold Rock. Don't really care. It is ice cream! And the waffle is nice! :)

This is a really cool advertise. Very interesting idea. 
Never mind dark circles - this concealer even hides tattoos (click on this link to see the ads) 
The concealer is like so good, I would definitely buy. I already want to buy. But I heard is only sold in US. Seriously? I really not good with cosmetic products. Somebody please advise me on this.
