Happenings in December - Su:m37 + Tampopo

Saturday 1/12/18

Here comes the first weekend after I came back from my trip, I arranged a dinner with L where the objective was for us to exchange the overseas souvenir we got for each other. We met up at Ramen Champion @ Bugis+ as we have cravings for ramen.

I have Tonkotsu Sukiyaki Ramen ($12++) from Buta God. The broth was savoury which I enjoyed sipping on and it has generous portion of pork slices. The pork slices has a good balance of meat. 

After the dinner, we went to Blackball to have a drink. I have Ice Green Milk Tea with Pearl. I enjoyed the chewy pearls drink.

Thanks for the dinner treat and the souvenir from Hong Kong.

Yesterday was a very sad day for me because I lost all my Taiwan trip and Malaysia staycation photos as my thumb drive was corrupted and all the photos were gone. I only managed to retrieve partial photos from day 1 to 3 of my Taiwan trip as I have copied out for blogging purposes. Super heart pain that all the travel memories (food, scenery, experience, selfie and welfie) were gone because I might not go overseas with this person anymore or we might not visit the same place again next time. Things might have changed but photos will preserve the moment.

We went Tampopo for lunch and I have Ham Ramen ($12.80++). The noodles were very springy and the broth was nice.

Friday 7/12/18

It's been quite awhile since I last ate Korean food, MI brought me and R to Sun Korean Food for lunch.

I have Hotplate with Chicken and Egg ($5.50). 
How I eat runny egg is to burst the egg yolk and spread it thoroughly on the egg white. I love the chicken slices because it has a good bite.

After our lunch, we went Barcook for a drink session. I have Teh C ($1.70) which means Tea with Evaporated Milk. It was a nice lunch session with them, thanks MI for the treat.

Su:m37 Secret Essence has been a wonderful product, it has been my favourite skincare product ever since I starting using it. 

The secret essence has a watery texture that makes it penetrates fast into my skin, leaving my skin feeling supple, soft and no sticky feeling. I love how the fragrance of the essence made me feel soothing and how the essence provides hydration to my skin, making my skin look refreshing and moisturised. 

My skin problems have also shown improvement with the red spots become smaller and lesser. I was very happy with the result after 1.5 months of usage and I will continue to use su:m37 Secret Essence. 

Friday 21/12/18

Today I ended work late at about 2.10pm despite taking afternoon leave. I only reached the salon at 2.40pm for my hair appointment. Year end is the time for my yearly hair appointment.

It was a long session and I ended at about 6.40pm. The cost was $169. I went home the same time as my normal working day.

KP just came back from Taipei and got us a packet of Nougat biscuit. Thanks KP, we love it very much.

Sunday 23/12/18

I met up with GF for our Christmas lunch gathering and gift exchange session at Tampopo @ Liang Court. It's been awhile since the two of us last meet up for a meal together. I'm glad that the festive season gives us an excuse for an opportunity to meet up.

We ordered a side dish for sharing. I love the crispy fried ebi that was flavoursome.

I ordered Chicken Cutlet Set which comes with a crispy batter on the outer layer of the chicken and juicy on the inside. The cost was $21.70 per pax.

We have quality time spent together catching up and having heart to heart talk. She is someone that I cherish, someone who will keep a lookout for me, tell me the hard truth rather than beautiful lie. Someone who will pull me up when I was falling to the bottom.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone.
This festive season called for us to get together and bonding with each other. I began my day with a hearty breakfast with the team at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf @ VivoCity. We were seated according to the timing we arrived, I was the 4th to arrive at my table.

Our breakfast set comes with a cup of tea.
I added only half a packet of sugar as I like the tea to be not too sweet.

I opt for Breakfast Platter ($12.90) where comes with sausage, turkey bacon, sauteed mushrooms, scrambled egg, panini bread and salad.

I revisited Trick Eye Museum after 3 years, there were some new additions and they even come up with an app who allows us to take photo with moving effects.

Get our eyes trick with all the 2D and 3D art structures. It is more fun to go in a group so that more people can create different effects compared to just 2 person, where you just take photo for me and I take photo for you.

Wednesday 26/12/18

Mee Ing was craving for western food so I suggested to have lunch at Hooters, a restaurant that I haven't visit for at least half a year. Lunch with MI and R today again.

Besides recommending them my all-time favourite Buffalo Wings with Curly Fries, we decided to try their Spaghetti as well. Having patronized Hooters for so long, I have not try their Spaghetti.

We have Chicken Alio Olio for sharing. 
The al dente Spaghetti was served together with Chicken Breast, Garlic, Chilli Flakes and topped with Parmesan Cheese. 2 pieces of Garlic Bread was also added to the plate.

The set lunch comes with a scoop of ice cream, the Rum Raisin Ice Cream has a smooth consistency which I love. 

Today is a happy day because it is the start of my long weekend.

Friday 28/12/18

I went to watch Aquaman today. It was a long movie (2 hours 22 minutes), I went in to the theatre when the sky was still bright and came down to nightfall.

Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) discovers that he is the heir to the legendary underwater kingdom of Atlantis and is to be crowned King of the Seven Seas. As King he must do whatever is necessary to save his world and lead his people.

Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) is the human-born heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. Arthur's younger half-brother declares war on the surface world and yearns the title of being the King of the Seven Seas. To prevent this war between the worlds of ocean and land, Arthur goes on a quest that makes him come to terms with his real identity and discover his worthiness of fulfilling his own destiny: becoming a king.

It was an entertaining movie and the CGI graphic was brilliant.

Sunday 30/12/18

My cousin brought the kids over to my house for a gathering. After we have our brunch at home, we brought the kids out to playground.

Amber finally had her turn on the swing, the 2 swings were always occupied so we have to wait for our turn. I love playing swing too, I waited until the swing was left unoccupied before I have my turn.

Monday 31/12/18

New year eve is half day work for us, short work week always make us happy. Even happier when K got us sweet tarts for nye.

I love it very much, the tart crust was slightly crunchy and it taste marvelous with the filling of nutella sauce.

In a blind of eye, 2018 has ended. It has been a very busy year for me, it has been a year filled with many ups and downs. I have lost something precious and photo memories, I have gained new experiences and accomplishments. We are growing up and growing old every single day. I hope 2019 will be a better year for me.
