Happenings in February - CNY Celebration + Nando's Boneless Thigh + Us On Earth Water Essence

Sunday 2/2/20

The nineth day of CNY was spent with my colleagues at Helen's place. It was our first time spending CNY together outside working hours. We went over to her place for a lunch gathering cum drinking session.

Helen ordered Yusheng from Sakae Sushi. What is CNY gathering without yusheng right?
Before pouring the ingredients, we will go through the ritual of reading out the auspicious saying for bless year ahead.

Huat ah!
This year didn't start off well, the nation is battling against the current outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19). It is going to be a long battle and hope that it can end soon.

The food from Stamford Catering, the food was seriously too much for 9 of us. We couldn't finish the food. I love the wasabi prawns and fried wanton the most.

Time for drinking session after the hearty lunch. We were each promoting one alcohol on our hands.
CNY is about spending quality time with family, friends and colleagues. Even just chilling in the house was enjoyable too.

I am not an alcohol person, so I just stick to Tiger Radler Can Beer which was more refreshing.

We stayed till nearly 6.30pm before we parted. I then hurried home to have steamboat dinner with my family and relatives. Since I was the latest to reach, my favourite ingredients were mostly gone, hence I just ate a little. 

Got to spend time playing with the little ones. These kids can go really crazy playing with you. These 2 weekend has been an enjoyable one playing with them. Cherish the time playing with them before they grow up, Amber is already coming to 4 years old this year.

My 4th round of lo hei, hope this year is a huat year for me. $$$$$

I began my weekend with a dinner date with Tracy to try out Nando's all new boneless thighs at The Star Vista outlet. We ordered 2 main course to share among us.

The fries and garlic breads made a great complement to the boneless thighs. This is a perfect creation for people like me who prefer a fuss free and effortless meal, the chicken thigh was tender and easily cut using fork and knife compared to 1/4 chicken. We also mix the different spice level of PERi-PERi sauce to create the robust flavour that we are looking for. 

The summer rice bowl contains 2 boneless thighs on a bed of Spiced Rice mixed with corn, cherry tomatoes, kidney beans, and roasted pumpkin. The rice bowl carried an aromatic taste from the rich ingredients. It was love at first bite with their boneless thigh, leaving us wanting for more.
  
It was really nice catching up with friend for delicious meal. It has been more than a year since I last had Nando's. With the covid 19 going on, where a lot of us have been cutting down on going out. There will be more stay home days especially dorscon level had moved to orange today.


Saturday 8/2/20

My complexion has not been in a good condition lately with all the heaty snacks I had during CNY and sleep deprived. Blemishes are starting to pop out and my skin is dull looking. Thanks 0.8L Singapore for sending me Us on earth, 6 Effector Soft Marine Water Essence, which come at the perfect time to rescue my skin. 

This all in one multi functional essence is originated from Korea. The botanical extract and Korean Ocean mineral Water promotes deep moisturising and repair, which are the benefits that I am looking for. 

The water essence has a lovely scent. The texture of the water essence was very light and it soothed my sensitive skin when applied. My skin felt hydrated and moisturized after the application.

I always love Korean skincare products because they work well on my skin. Thanks for sending the product over.

That's all for February update. Meanwhile, stay safe everyone.
