Happenings in December - Feelyn's First Month Celebration + Air Play (New York) + Solar Eclipse + Ramen Nagi

Sunday 1/12/19

Uncle and Aunt came to our house today together with 10 floor aunt. As they were all staying for dinner, we went out to our favourite zichar place for dinner. 

We tried something different today instead of the usual Curry Fish Head - Sweet and Sour Fish. The sweet and sour combination made it an appetising dish to pair with our rice.

Another new dish we tried was Youtiao with Fish Paste. The fried youtiao was light and airy at the front, a satisfying dish to have.

Wednesday 4/12/19

Time for my mini product review session on recent beauty products that I am currently using.

I started using Goldwell Kerasilk Control Rich Protective Oil for unmanageable, unruly and frizzy hair because my hair is in need of treatment.

The hair oil is a leave in treatment to be applied on towel-dried or dry hair for a smooth and shiny finish. It helps to control and tame my frizzy hair. Furthermore, it adds shine to my dull looking hair and makes my hair appear softer upon touch. I also enjoyed the floral oriental scent of jasmine amd Damask rose that linger on my hair.

Saturday 14/12/19

Went to my uncle's house for my youngest niece, Feelyn, first month celebration. This time round, bro only invited the relatives over.

The buffet catering was ready by 5.30pm and we were ready to kickstart the dinner. It was a yummy spread with my favourite fried chicken wings, curry and bun.

Meet the star of the day - Feelyn.

Our family tree are growing bigger every year, new additions (babies and maids) to our next Chinese New Year gathering.

SF just got back from Taiwan and she got our family some goodies. 

Year end is really the period where many of my families went traveling, I received many foodies from them. 

The one that I was very interested to try was Bubble Milk Tea Cake. As a bubble tea lover, I am attracted by it. The bubble milk tea cake has the same texture as the pineapple tart from Taiwan, except that the paste is different.

Tuesday 17/12/19

姑姑 also came back from Taiwan last few days and got us some snacks too. 姑丈 enjoyed the trip very much and wish to travel to Taiwan again next year.

I met up with Tracy in the night for dinner and to watch the gala show of Air Play (New York). Knowing that I have not been out with friends for months, Tracy took this invite opportunity to ask me out and also to do our Christmas gift exchange.

New York’s Air Play combined the act of circus and street theatre performance art by two siblings, they transformed ordinary objects in our daily life like balloons, fabrics, umbrellas and confetti into uncommon beauty.

It was a very interactive performance with some interaction with audience. The children loved it so much and laughter can be heard whenever they came near to the audience. 

The confetti turned  the dark night sky into one of the biggest snow globe. It left us feeling awe by the sight in front of us.

We enjoyed the one hour performance very much.

Sunday 22/12/19

Vivien's sis got us egg tarts from Tai Cheong Bakery and we love it very much. Thanks sis.

The egg tarts had a buttery crust with smooth egg custard sat on it. I like that the crust was not very fragile such that it will break when we hold the egg tart. The crust was crunchy to my liking.

Tuesday 24/12/19

With Christmas and year end season approaching, my year end is filled with gathering as we bid goodbye to 2019.

I met up with the girls on Christmas Eve after our work for ENCE Purple Christmas Party at their Raffles Place office.

After having the catered lunch, it was time for gift exchange. It was a very stressful gift exchange because your chosen gift might be snatched by others. I have gotten a teddy bear while Jasmine's Pikachu was snatched by the others and she got to choose another gift.

Thanks Tracy for the photo.

It has been quite awhile since I last met the girls (except for Tracy whom I just met last week), so happy to have a short gathering on Chirstmas Eve for the Chirstmas gift exchange. 

Thursday 26/12/19

I met up with Mee Ing and Rachel for lunch at Aston. It  has been so long since I last had Aston. This time round, I opt for Chargilled Chicken with Potato Wedges and Onion Rings.

While walking around after lunch, we got to witness the rare annular solar eclipse on Boxing Day. The moon covered the sun's centre, leaving the sun's visible outer edges forming a ring around the moon.

This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many onlookers. There was one China tourist who asked me what we were all looking at.  

After the lunch, I went for facial (I paid for my own). Now that age is catching up on me, it's time that I embark on monthly or quarterly facial session to clear my clogged pores. 

Friday 27/12/19

December is the period where I rest well because it is also the period that I cleared my leave. Today was a rest day for me, I only went out in the evening to meet GF and Linda at Suntec City for dinner.

As Linda was craving for ramen, GF has recommended Ramen Naji located Suntec City Tower 2. The ramen chain is originated from Fukuoka, Japan and has more than 40 outlets all over the world. This was my first time trying.

I had the Original Butao King where the thick handcrafted noodles were paired with classic Nagi pork chashu in tonkotsu pork-broth. The flavourful soup complemented each mouthful of the noodles, it was full of punch.

After the dinner, we went to Burger King to chill. GF and I started our second round of eating with us sharing 9 pieces of nuggets.

Thanks Linda for the belated Christmas gift. Though we don't see each other very often, we will still meet up once in awhile to catch up and rant about our problems. 

Sunday 29/12/19

Vivien's always got my family good food whenever she chanced upon something nice. This time round, she got us Kazo MSW durian cream puff. Thanks sis for always spoiling us with lots of good food.

Tuesday 31/12/19

I started off my new year eve with a hearty breakfast at The Coffee Bean @ Kallang Wave Mall. It was my first time trying their Salmon Brioche Eggs Ben which contains smoked salmon, egg, cheese, brioche, salad and cherry tomatoes.

I had Ice Tea to go with my meal, it was something I in need of to beat the stuffy heat as the aircon in the mall only operate at 10am.

We have come to the end of 2019. It was a year filled with good and bad moments, a year for growth where I am trying to find my direction in life and learning to become a better person, learning to stand up and walk after the fall. I still have not fully recover from it and I need time to heal the wound. The most depressing period has passed and I hope to be surrounded with more positive vibes in the new year ahead.

With that, I concluded my 2019 happenings. 

Happenings in May - Paradigm Shift In Ear Headphone + Cafe & Meal MUJI

Friday 4/5/18

Finally the peak period has temporary ended, I have the opportunity to ease my pace for 3 weeks before chiong-ing again. To celebrate, I reward myself to my favourite place for lunch - Hooters.

It's been more than a year since my last visit, I miss their buffalo wings very much.

All 5 of us ordered the buffalo wings set that comes with curly fries.

The buffalo wings were succulent and not too spicy (I opt for the spicy flavour). There were 7 pieces, making up of either wings or drumstick.

The ice cream of the day was Strawberry ice cream. I enjoyed this meal very much, I wish that I could come back often, I love their food and atmosphere. Till the next time.

It was a happy day because I get to come home before the night approaches.

Thursday 10/5/18

We traveled to VivoCity for lunch today, lunch has always been an adventurous one. Because the group has cravings for yakitori, hence we went to Shin Kushiya to satisfy their cravings.

All 6 of us ordered Mixed Kushiyaki Set at $18++.

It consists of grilled mixed kushiyaki skewers, buta bara, black pepper yakitori, ebi and tomato maki. The portion was quite little, not really worth the price paid.

My current earpiece has spoilt so I am changing it to Paradigm Shift In Ear Headphone, thanks Paradigm for this earpiece which comes just in handy for me. I got this earpiece during one of the events organised by Paradigm.

I prefer earpiece that comes with earbud.

A quality earpiece is so much different from the earpiece that I got from Daiso previously. 

How good is Paradigm Shift In Ear Headphone?

Paradigm Shift In-Ear Headphone sounds as good as the output of speakers

Paradigm applied the a speaker magical sound to the design of in-ear headphones. Even at low volumes, we can still hear the full spectrum of sound clearly.

The In Ear Headphone comes with a small black pouch for us to store our In Ear Headphone when not in use. It will so convenient to carry around.

Paradigm Shift In Ear Headphone has been a great companion during my everyday bus journey, be it listening to songs or talking to friends. It delivers better audio and better listening experience.

GF got me this Hask Essentials Leave-In Conditioning Spray during her Phuket's trip last year. I have just started using it. This is actually a 5-in-1 Formula leave-in spray which have the following functions:

1. Moisturizes to prevent damage 

2. Detangles & smooths 

3. Controls frizz & flyaways 

4. Adds shine 

5. Provides thermal protection

I sprayed it after finishing blow drying my hair. It can be spray on damp or towel-dried hair and comb through. There is no need to rinse off. I love this Leave-In Conditioning Spray, it helped to moisturize my hair and giving it a healthier glow.

Bro just came back from Taiwan and he got us this famous Suncake 太阳饼 from Taichung. It was super nice, I tried the cheese and original flavour.

Friday 25/5/18

Finally my exam was over, time to mug on work to catch up on where I have stopped. I foresee slogging time will begin next week. Dragging for the time to come.

We tried out a new place for lunch at Cafe & Meal MUJI.

Muji has opened up a cafe in their outlet at Plaza Singapura. Café & Meal MUJI uses the natural taste ingredients which are full of blessings from the sun, soil and water. 

I had 2 Deli Set at $12.80. Here's my selection: 1 Hot Deli (Hokkaido Potato Croquette), 1 Cold Deli (Smoked Salmon & Fennel Salad), 16 Grain Rice, Cumin Carrot Soup and Onsen Egg.

I quite like the food here, it was quite nice. We can come back for lunch again.

Look forward to my first weekend after exam where I don't need to cope at home to study anymore.

Happenings in January & February - The Wine Company

Thursday 25/1/18

Hello everybody. I'm back from my Taiwan trip. I already miss traveling again, my next overseas trip is probably end of the year. Many months of waiting to go.

I bought some snacks from Taiwan to share with my family and colleagues. All these were purchased in Ximending except for the Bamboo Shoot Biscuit, which was purchased in Taichung.

We went People's Park Food Centre for dinner, I decided to try Chicken Cutlet Hor Fun.

After the quick dinner, we made our way down to SGH to visit bro. Glad that he was feeling better and will be discharged tomorrow.

Friday 26/1/18

It's TGIF. 

Since today is a special day, bf and I decided to skip our usual dinner at hawker centre and went Vivo City for dinner. We have our dinner at Tai Lei Loi Kei.

I have Black Pepper Sliced Pork Rice ($7.90+). 

This resembled the normal zichar rice set that I always ordered.

Apart from our main course, we also ordered Polo Pork Chop Bun ($6.90+) for sharing.

The food and price are decent. The only grip is that the eatery is small, so once we finished the food, we have to make a move because queue were forming outside the eatery.

Sunday 28/1/18

Back to Bugis.

Bf and I met up with Ah Ho for dinner at Astons Specialities @ Bugis+. Yes, for both days I have been traveling to Bugis. 

It was a hearty dinner with many juicy news sharing that kept us talking for hours.

Thursday 1/2/18

We traveled to City Square Mall for lunch at Pizza Hut. It's been a long while since I last have Pizza Hut. Pizza is one of my favourite food. We have the lunch set that comes with drink and soup.

I ordered my all time favourite - Hawaiian  Pan Pizza.

The pizza arrived pipping hot. I always love the pizza from Pizza Hut and their doughy crust.

Sunday 4/2/18

Right after GF's solemnization lunch, I met up with bf for our Sunday dating. We celebrated our early Valentine's Day with a dinner at The Wine Company. We celebrated 2 weeks in advance to avoid the markup menu price for the occasion and also we won't be meeting on the actual day. I don't need a fancy dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day because it is just too commercialized, a decent dinner is all I'm looking for.

The Wine Company has a vintage interior design with their seats in blue and purple theme.

Right outside of the restaurant is the breathtaking scenery of Sentosa and HarbourFront. 

You might be wondering why is it so dark in the restaurant right?

This is because The Wine Company uses minimal lighting in the restaurant and each table has a candle to light up their space.

I had Prawn Linguine for my main course. The linguine was served al dente with pesto, prawns, pine nuts and cherry tomatoes in olive oil sauce.

The linguine was well tossed and brought out the flavours while the prawns were fresh and tasty to eat on its own.

Truffle Fries for sharing.

The french fries were tossed in truffle oil where strong truffle taste lingered with every bite.

The food here was great and satisfying, we were so glad that we found this place and we will definitely be coming back again. Luck was with us when The Wine Company was having 30% discount on their main course that day.  

That's all for sharing today, good bye.

After a day of hard work, what do you always look forward to?

For me, I always look forward to a good meal to reward myself after a day of hard work. Yeah, so check out some of the good food that I had recently:

Dessert is something that I couldn't resist. My meal will never be complete without dessert. 

Dragon Brand Dessert is one of my regular dine out place. The dessert of the day for each day is different so you will totally have no idea what dessert you are having that day. 

So the dessert of the day is:

Black Glutinous Rice Cake with Coconut Milk

One thing I like about this dessert is that it does not taste very sweet but then the portion seems a bit small. Not enough kick.

I'm sure you can already guess where the mushroom soup is from judging from the background. Yes, it's The Manhattan Fish Market.

I simply love the mushroom soup, it's thick and creamy!!

Fish and Chips is my all-time favourite. Love how the fries are fried till golden brown.Basically I loved everything that is fried.

At Pasta de Waraku.

Can't remember what is the name of dish. Got to say that the dish is not to my liking. The spaghetti is spicy and also the sauce taste weird to me.

Other than the sauce, everything tastes good.

Can you guess what is this beautiful place?

Was at here seeking shelter while pouring heavily outside.

Try out this salted fish spaghetti from Thai Affair. Quite an unique dish, I mean who would have thought of using salted fish to pair with spaghetti. Overall, the taste is good but they need to improve in their customer service, the waiting time is super long.

It's Dragon Brand Dessert again.

They served my favourite dessert: Avocado with ice cream. Avocado is my favourite fruit juice, how can I not love Avocado ice-cream. It tastes heavenly good. Yummy!!

Saturday 18/8/12

Do you suffer from:

Poor digestion, stomach bloating

Fatigue, low energy levels, sickly body

Poor complexion, blemishes, skin allergies

Bad breath, body odor

Headache, migraine

Or do you have:

A busy, stressful life

Irregular meals and eating processed food

Constant exposure to the polluted environment

***

Well, for me, I am definitely suffering from some of the symptoms mention above. Due to busy work life, I will skip my meals sometimes or eating at irregular timing. Together with other factors, it contributed to poor complexion and blemishes.

Thus, our body needs to eliminate all these toxins out which are harmful to our body. 

I embarked on Kinohimitsu J’pan D’tox Juice 6-day programs. The six day program is a smart way to flush out toxins from your bowel within 2-4 hours, without disrupting your daily life. 

This 100% natural juice is the fastest and the most effective drink in the market. J’pan D’tox Juice contains no additives. Mostly importantly, it provides high concentrations of dietary fiber which increases the beneficial cultures in the digestive tract and helps fortify the body’s defences, leaving you feeling renewed, refreshed and revitalized. 

What are the benefits of Kinohimitsu J’pan D’tox Juice?

The goodness of the drink is easily absorbed by the body. It replenishes hydration and moistens the colon and its hard faeces in just minutes! It also induces bowel motion within 2-4 hours, Kinohimitsu J’pan D’tox Juice will constantly promote peristalsis of colon, improve irregular bowels while softening and unplugging mucoid plague.

Though it is not meant for slimming, many have experienced a flatter tummy and weight loss while cleansing.

Wow, isn't it one stone kills two birds?

What exactly is 6-day program?

Take one bottle a day, consecutively for six days. 

There is no special diet required to accompany the consumption of J’pan D’tox Juice. 

For maintenance, we encourage the consumption of 1-3 bottles of Kinohimitsu J’pan D’tox Juice each week.

Ingredients for Plum Flavour:

Dark Plum Fruit Juice, Purified Water, Sorbitol, Roselle Fruit Juice, Blueberry Concentrate, Mannitol, Blackberry Concentrate, Glace Plum Fruit Juice, Citric Acid.

Wow, a strong plum smell hits me. 

Wondering how will it taste like.. Mmmmmm.

The juice is tasty - the combination of plum and berries.

Its crisp, refreshing taste appeals to people who just aren't fans of all-natural fruits, veggies or juices.

My review:

I must say the D’tox Juice is really effective.Though I did not visit the toilet 2-4 hours after the drink, but I definitely clear my bowel by the next day. Different people may react differently due to absorption capability of the body. I'm really amazed by the result, I did not experience any stomachache or discomfort. Not only that, defecation came out quick and smooth.

This is highly recommended to people who suffers from constipation. D’tox Juice will guarantee smooth and regular bowel movement.

Detoxification and Cleansing for a Healthier You!
