Amos and his "koala bear" HUG

Amos jumped onto Zac the other day while we were dining at Tony Roma's.
He gave Zac a "koala bear" HUG & gripped onto him for a few second.
It was really entertaining ... ... ;p

My friend from Manila

I met up with the lovely Pia from Manila 2 weeks ago on her first trip to Singapore ALONE. She decided to proceed with the trip even though her friend couldn't come along with her. Luckily, she has a brother working in Singapore & stays over at his place.

I was on my way to the hair salon when I received her message via my facebook. She has been trying to contact me but I didn't get her message until her 3rd day in Singapore *sweat*

My hubby & I went to her brother's place to pick her up for dinner. We went to East Coast Park for dinner. Hubby ordered so much local dishes. Fried Carrot Cake, Fried Oyster, Fried Kuay Teow, Chicken & Pork Satay with rice dumplings, Popiah, Dessert & Drinks. Pia was having slight cough but cant resist those food. hahahaha.:D
She told me her favourite among all is Fried Carrot Cake!!

After that, we stroll along the park & then give her a City Night Tour... ...

Pia alighted at Raffles Hotel to take pic after hearing from hubby that her idol, the late Michael Jackson, stayed over at this hotel during his visit to Singapore many years ago :)

We send Pia back home around 10+pm. It was a long day for her cos she visited Sentosa during the day time .... .... alone....... such a daring gal *hugs*

Amos made the card in school yesterday & he rushed to give to me the moment he reached home. So sweet !! I will treat it as his birthday card for me. *blush*

Zac drew the below for me. He wrote on the cover " Happy Birthday to my mummy" & a pic of me holding a flower. Awwwwww.....

On the inside of the card he wrote again
"My dear Janice,
I have dear Amos Ong
I am a boy"

On the next page, he drew a picture of a heart with Amos & my name on it.

hahahahaha.... so sweet of him to include Amos in the card. I ask him what he meant by those words. He said that mummy has Amos & me (refering to himself). LOL :D:D:D

I went for supper at Newton Circus with my good friends last Saturday after a late night movie to celebrate my birthday. Its been such a long time since I last dine at Newton Circus. Its a pleasure eating those sinful food you see below. I'm feeling hungry now looking at it. hehe :)~~~~

Thank you, my first commentator.

Fry Egg???

My first venture to "fry egg" in a restaurant yesterday.



By the way, this is no ordinary egg !!

It is actually an ice-cream "egg" which I have created out of durian flavour ice-cream (for the egg yolk) & vanilla (for the white) !! So creative right? ;p

This is something extra ... ...for additional S$2, you get to make your own ice-cream from their generous varieties of flavour & toppings !! WOW !!


Yuki Yaki at Marina Square is a 3-in-1 buffet offering Steamboat, Teppanyaki & Ice-Cream (optional), totally new dining concept.

The tables are really spacious. It is equipped with two in-built stoves for steamboat and teppanyaki. Those who loves dessert will applause to the idea of self made ice-cream. The teppanyaki pan is thoroughly cleansed by the service staff and the thermostat adjusted to a cold temperature, ready for ice cream making. That's a cool way to end a satisfying meal :):)

Thank you, my first commentator.

Amos is 3 today !!

We celebrated Amos' 3rd birthday last Sunday over at my parents house. I had a hard time deciding on the cake & only confirm the design 5 days before the celebration. Amos loves sea creatures & so he wanted his cake to have just that !! I finally found one bakery for him & there goes Amos' SEA CREATURE birthday cake ... ...


I'm thrilled that Amos' little wish was fulfilled !!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Amos!!

Yummilicious Muffin from Chocolat N' Spice

My good friend, Yvonne, bought me these muffin recently. She always introduce yummy food to me. She said I will definitely like them !! True enough, they are superb!! :):)

The muffins are soft, moist and not too sweet. I heard that there are many different types of muffins available. The bestseller being the chocolate chip muffin, which you see in the picture. The crusty chocolate rice top and molten chocolate inside can be really addictive.

4 night Libra cruise to Phuket

We went on a 4 night cruise to Phuket on board SuperStar Libra recently. It was a last min booking cos I was informed rather late of a travel voucher from my sis which could be used to offset about 1/3 of the cruise payment. We managed to secure a quad cabin with port hole finally !!

This is the first time I board Libra. I've been on SuperStar Virgo & Aquarius!!

Off we go ... ... ...

The boys were amazed by the mega ship !! Their virgin ride ... .....


There are a total of 9 decks. Our cabin is on deck 2. Really very cramp...this was how we let the 2 boys to sleep. We brought down one of the mattress on the upper bed & placed it on the floor. They were so interested on the ladder & kept climbing up & down :(


The yummilicious spread of food from Four Season (left : Western) & Ocean Palace (right : Chinese cuisine) These were only food we had for 2 meals. You can imagine how well fed we were on board throughout the whole trip :):):)


Entertainment from the cruise crew on one of the night at Star Lounge !!
Zac volunteered to participate in one of the game show called the Horse Ride. He is "horse" number 3. I bet on horse 1, 3 & 6.... not my lucky numbers though. Horse number 4 won !! :):)


How can the boys missed playing in the pool there? The water is so ...... saltish ;p


We embark at Phuket (Patong Beach) on the 3rd day & spend about 8 hrs on the island.
The main attraction is the elephant ride at Island Safari. The 4 of us sat on the elephant. You can imagine how strong the mammal is to carry 3 adults (not forgeting the trainer too) & 2 child up & down the challenging terrains *sweat*
The boys also had a jolly good time watching the funny monkey doing its tricks. We also took photos with the cheeky little fellow that lifted its tiny hands for the photo shot. So smart !! :):)


We also went to Phuket's most famous Buddhist temple, Wat Chalong. The boys were amazed by the magnificient sculptures :)


These were the things we brought home. Mostly photos..... haha... they are really precious & expensive photos I should say !! :):)


This marks the last post from me for the year 2008.
May I wish everyone a fruitful year ahead :):)

Genting/KL Trip : Part II

... continued from Genting/KL trip : Part I

Hubs accompanied the boys for the unlimited day ride at the Indoor Theme Park at Genting. I helped them to take pictures.


Portable mini mahjong set my sis brought along. We played a game each for the 3 nights. No luck with this new set of mahjong. S$20 poorer :(
Luckily we had some luck over at the casino. Won RM 150 at the Wheel Of Fortune in just 10 mins. We walked off after that in case greed made us loss everything. LOL :):)


All these glorious food kept us energized !! Our first night dinner was at Ah Yat Restaurant. It cost a BOMB cos my sis ordered RED wine too ... ... RM 2K for a table of 10 adults & 3 kids !! We had dim sum breakfast the next day at the same restaurant. It was recommended by friend to try their dim sum. GOOD !! :):)

We feasted at these restaurants at Gentings : Kenny Rogers (prompt service & cheap), McDonalds (long queue for the sake of the boys cos they want the happy meal toys), Kopitiam Zi Cha (terrible, no ingredients & very saltish!!)

Over at Berjaya Time Square : Buffet Breakfast at hotel Big Apple Cafe (moderately good !!), Sushi King (lousy waiter, reminded order for thrice then he served the california maki *faint*), The Chicken Rice Shop (the best meal over the 4 days too bad it was taken in a rush cos of the checking out time. Very tender chicken & aromatic rice)

How can I not miss the shopping part?????
For the boys : Polo Ralph Tees (x2), Guess Shirts (x4), Personalized Key Chain(x2), Adidas Shoes (x1), Poney Tees (x3) & Looney Tunes Tees (x1)
For hubs : Vietnamese Pants, Bum Equipment Bermudas
For myself : Diesel top (x2), Sandels (x2), Body Glove Top (x5), Coach Key Chain (x2) & assorted souvenirs

Back home, the boys playing with their Madagascar toys :):)

Although I was sick throughout the trip (coughing very badly)... .... I am glad that the boys enjoyed themselves & able to overcome the long journey !!
We planned to go to Sunway Lagoon on our next trip ... ... YAY !! :):)

Mao Shan Wang Durian... yum yum...

We finally went to try the famous Mao Shan Wang Durian at the Four Seasons (Joo Chiat opp the famous Pepper Crab shop). It cost S$20/kg... .... I think this is something we cannot eat frequently since it is so costly. We paid S$200 for abt 12 kg, it was a good experience. I like the bitter sweet taste. Have you try it?
It can get really crowded at night. So try to go in the afternoon :)



We ate it on the spot !! :)


We packet these home !!


Look at the tiny flat seeds. You can imagine how much meat. Yum yum !! :):)
