I met up with the girls in the late morning for Aveda Music Day Treats at Aveda Experience Centre in Takashimaya S.C, Ngee Ann City. It has been such a long time since our last girls outing, I missed it so much.
We were given options to choose the Music Day Treats we like to have, I picked on Soothing Classic.
My 10 minutes treatment started by breathing in Lavender Essential Oil, the comforting aroma helped to reduce the feeling of stress. It was followed by Piano Neck and Shoulder Massage, which helped to soothe senses and relieve muscle tension. Lastly, it was Ballot on the Scalp using Scalp Revitalizer to activate blood circulation and invigorate scalp.

Today is also CK's birthday. Happy birthday, CK.
June is the birthday month for Jas and CK, GF, Meryl and I decided to use our $40 food vouchers each for steamboat to celebrate this special occasion. Jas's family, Kelvin and Yue Qing came to join us too.
We traveled to the North for Pot Addiction at Sun Plaza, Sembawang. Pot Addiction is Singapore's first International Steamboat, BBQ and Mookata Buffet at affordable prices. All of us opt for the steamboat buffet.
Pot Addiction boasts a wide variety of ingredients that we can pick on. Looking at the ingredients made me drool, I was hungry.
Kelvin, GF, CK and I shared the pot together because we wanted the tom yam soup base. We opt for a spicy and non-spicy soup base.
While waiting for the soup to boil and the food to cook, we helped ourselves with the ready cooked food which was cold when consumed. It must have been left in the outside for quite sometimes.
With our vouchers utilised, we paid $16 per pax for the steamboat.
End the post with a 14 days beauty trial kit from Aveda.
I have started using it because my scalp is in need of deep cleansing. The scalp cleanser will help to exfoliate and create a clean scalp foundation for beautiful hair. Thanks Aveda for the gift.
Congratulations to Bryan and Rainie on your wedding day. The couple has been through a 6 years journey before tying a knot together. Wishing you a happy marriage life.
The couple held their wedding lunch at The Fulleraton Hotel @ The Straits Room, it was a cozy affair with a about 9 tables.
I was the first to arrive, waiting for the rest.
Wedding lunch is always preferred than wedding dinner because the serving time is prompt and the lunch will end by 3.30pm or before.
The first dish was Hot and Cold Combination comprising of Jelly Fish with spicy dressing, Honey Glazed Roasted Pork, Crispy Vegetables Spring Roll, Roasted Duck and Deep Fried Prawn coated with spice pumpkin.
I love that the dish was served in individual portion and everyone get equal share.
Second dish was soup served in this ancient looking bowl, it was so unique. Instantly, I have the feeling of transporting back to the ancient palace time where the royalty enjoy their soup in the prestige bowl.
Double-boiled Cordyceps Fungus, Red Dates and Dried Scallop in Chicken Consumme.
The soup has so delicious with mild herbal taste. The chicken was very soft and tender, it may have been boiled for a long time.
The remaining dishes that were served.
We ended the lunch with Chilled Cream of Mango with Pomelo. The lunch indeed ended around 3.30pm. It was time to meet my date for an outing.
Wearing a new dress out today. I got this black dress during my Hong Kong's trip.
I rarely wear long dress, but now I begin to love it. It bring out a different feel, comfortable to wear and does not portray too casually. The black dress is also stretchable and flatter at the right place.
It's been a long time since we dressed up for dating, we usually prefer dressing casually. Dressing up also mean photo time.
We went back to Bf's favourite place for dinner, The Wine Company @ Sentosa Broadwalk. We love here because it is a nice place to chill out with scenery of the harbour and their food is really good. We love the laidback vibe, my only grip was the dim surrounding which makes photo taking a little challenging.
We ordered Soft Shell Crab ($12.90++) for sharing.
The crunchy sound can be heard with every bite of the soft shell crab, the crispy exterior was airy and light. We enjoyed it.
I have Carbonara Spaghetti ($12.90++) for my main course.
The spaghetti was served al dente with sautéed bacon and mushroom in cream sauce. The spaghetti absorbed the sauce well and you could taste the creamy sauce in every bite. Eat it fast before you can gelat.
Another OOTD shot.
The black dress comes with another layer of lining in it. The material is quite thin and light-weight, making it comfortable to wear around.

I was glad I was on leave today so that I could took a break from work. I worked until 10.40pm the night before, 14 hours at work. Yesterday marked the longest hours I ever stayed in office. When will this madness period be over?
The reason why I took leave today was to accompany mummy to Johor Bahru (JB). It has been 11 years since her last visit to JB. Knowing that she is unfamiliar with the route there, I decided to join her to JB and visit my aunt.
We arrived at Ban Ban Street at 10am to take the Singapore-Johor taxi in to JB at S$55. It was so expensive but mummy doesn't want to squeeze through the custom and prefer sitting through out. Hence, we went for the taxi service.
We arrived at Restoran Pekin Sutera @ Sutera Mall for lunch. Before coming here, we went to Aunt's house. We came here for lunch because mummy wanted food from Chinese restaurant.
The dishes selected by mummy. This meal was definitely not cheap, it cost RM380 for 6 pax. The steep price was contributed by the fish we ordered, the dish itself cost RM160. Wow!
After the lunch, we went to Verbena Confectionery to get some bread before leaving the place. Feeling a little disappointed that I couldn't explore around the mall as mummy wanted to head home, I gonna come back again to explore the place next time round.

I'm always so happy whenever Saturday is here because it is outing day. Spending our day out in Singapore is rather routine, we always found ourselves at the same old places. We went to Marina Square for a walk.
The Float was having NDP rehearsal, a bit sad that I couldn't score a ticket to watch NDP live. I always have no luck when come to balloting or lucky draw.
Pondering on whether to have dinner at Chic-a-boo or Hifumi, we settled for the latter in the end.
The selection of free flow appetizer was rather limited. We took chawanmushi, potato, tuna with bread and crabmeat tempura.
I have Kimchi Toji Ebi Fry for my main course ($13.99++).
The batter of the ebi was crispy and crunchy. Drenching it into the kimchi broth for extra kick in the taste.
We ended our meal with macha dessert, I prefer this than the ice cream because the sweetness for this was just right.
June has finally to an end, it has been a very hectic month for me. I need a break, please.
