My mini birthday celebration with friends and loved ones

 This year, my birthday falls during the Chinese New Year Period again, just as it was 3 years ago in 2014. To be honest, I'm not fond of it as most of my friends are busy preparing to welcome the New Year, and there is no time left for me at all!



Therefore, I decided to arrange for a dinner date cum birthday celebration about 2 weeks before my birthday. Baby had got me a huge birthday gift - A planned 9-day holiday to the Kansai Region of Japan, which included Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara and Himeji. We arrived back in Singapore a day before my actual birthday, in order to prepare myself for the Chinese New Year!



  My close clique of friends decided to celebrate my birthday by eating Mookata at Nex during our gathering, and we settled at 'Charcoal Thai'. We went for the buffet, and amazingly finished 54 plates of marinated meat, vegetables, as well as other miscellaneous standard steamboat items in less than 2 hours! I personally found this feat amazing! The damage was definitely worth the calories and money paid!


Thanks for the lovely gifts! 


We came back from Japan a day before my birthday, and Baby brought me to the No Signboard Restaurant for a crab feast!


Baby specially ordered a plate of Ee-fu noodles, as we Chinese believe eating noodles on your birthday signifies longevity! How sweet! 


I love the Signature Chilli Crab, as it tasted fantastic with ample tasty gravy. The mantou tasted nice especially after dipping it in the tasty gravy.


The asparagus was light and not greasy at all, a perfect dish for people who are watching their diet. The damage was SGD155, thanks Baby for the dinner treat! 


Do stay tuned to my space on my experience for my Pre-Birthday Japan Holiday in Kansai region.

Preview screening of Planes

 Thanks Claressa for asking me along to join her for the preview screening of Planes at GV VivoCity.   --- Posters of Planes ---         I was thinking to myself during the show, has PIXAR run out of ideas to make a movie? This movie has all the hallmarks of a standard PIXAR movie, such as Cars/Wall-E/Toy Story, with the looks and graphics being the same.     The movie, Planes is a carbon copy of 'Cars' with both the films logo being similar. Oh well, seems like a rip off to me!       The film focuses on Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), an ambitious crop-dusting plane that predictably spends his days flying over tall grass spraying fertilizer. His dream is to become a racing plane, soaring high and racing around the world.   Though he is built not for flying this capacity but his biggest drawback is that he is afraid of height, as he gets used to flying at low heights.   Skipper Riley (voiced by Stacy Keach) i

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products.
