Movie Marathon

1st it was Toy Story 3 with the boys ... definitely worth watching. It is definitely better than Shrek.


Then it was Karate Kid with hubby and friends. Very enjoyable show and really had a good laugh at certain scenes.


Woh ... that is 2 movies in 1 day. SHOIK!!!

Dolling up Time ^_^

Today is Yuling's (my SIL) big day ... with this as an excuse, I got chance to pamper my poor fingers and toes. Sat my butt on my manicurist chair for a whole 5 hours just to pamper my limbs. Scrub + Mask + Nail Art ... HEAVENS!!!


With a set of pretty nails, a nice dress plus a nice hairdo ... I am all set to attend tonight's dinner ^_^

Omakase @ Tenza Izakaya

It's MIL birthday and father's day round the corner. A very good opportunity to bring the whole family down to our friend's restaurant - Tenza Izakaya.

This time, we opt for Omakase. We left it to the chef to prepare our menu for the night and here's the menu for the night ...


The food presented was really good plus good beer and good sake ... the old folks really enjoyed themselves.

The night's meal ended with a Green Tea Red Bean cake made by me ^_^

Just another SUNDAY!!!

I guess age is catching up ... late nights really drain me out. For 2 nights in a row, hubby and myself slept late but got to get up early because of the kids. Just 2 nights is enough to make us wanna stay indoors on a Sunday. Rest and relax was all that we did for the whole morning and after a light lunch, we even took a nap with the kids.

After the long nap, we are both recharged!!!

We brought the boys out for dinner. This time, we've picked Outback Steakhouse @ Millenia Walk.


It had been a long while since my last visit. The place still look pretty much the same. But this is the 1st time I am trying out their kids menu. Hubby went to meet a friend to get some stuff done and hence I am all by myself with the kids for dinner ^_^.


Our order = Mac-A-Roo N Cheese & Spagehetti and Finger Combo.

On top of that, I've order a serve of their Soup Of The Day - Potato Soup.


There is 2 size to their soup. You can have it it a cup or a bowl and the cup being a smaller portion which I think is pretty perfect for a kid. For an adult, unless you only plan to drink soup, else it would be a wiser choice to choose the cup too. The food portion here is of a considerable size, at least to me ^_^.

And not to mention their complimentary bread ...


Too bad, hubby took too long to finish his stuff and by the time he join us, the kids are done with their meal already. So ... I did not manage to place order for myself. Oh well, I guess that leave me an excuse to come back again.

The kids get to spend a few days at my in-laws place and to our next destination we go ... TMM Chalet!!! After dropping off the kids, hubby and myself went to get dinner. We headed back to Bugis area to meet up with friends, dinner and walk around. We did a bit of shopping here and there and went to check out Illuma. A pretty new shopping centre just opposite Bugis Junction opened sometime in 2009.

While we were checking out the new shopping centre, this display caught our attention.


We were all so amazed at the art work and did not realised there's a write up on the works by the creator unless we stop staring at it and stood up.

Day Out with the Boys

SHREK Forever After ... here I come!!!

Had promised my sis to go watch this movie with her but did not have a chance to do so till now. But with initially plan to just go watch with her, ended up have to watch it with the boys.

Took me awhile to convince Oswald to go watch this movie. I'd equip the boys with drinks and snacks hoping that they will sit through the movie. Luckily the boys are quite cooperative. Oswald only started complaining about 3/4 way through the show. He said, "Mummy, I don't want to watch SHREK." As for Owein, he sat on his own for the initially part and finish off the movie on my lap. Hee hee ... anyway, it was a successful movie screening.

After movie, it is time to plan what to cook for dinner. Having a craving for soup, so I head to Eu Yan Sang to pick up some soup concentrates.


I've seen these concentrates around for quite awhile already but never bother to give them a try. A friend introduced it to me quite recently and it really taste not bad. With such, cooking herbal soup is no longer a headache and hassle. No need to keep unused herbs and not to mention the heap of herbs to be thrown away after cooking. How easy cooking can be nowadays ... ^_^.

Here's my American Ginseng Soup ...


According to the write up on the box, "this pleasing soup revitalised you, helping you stay at your best every day." It is so easy to prepare ... all you need is a whole chicken and a bottle of soup concentrate and you can start boiling!!! With this, I can make herbal soup more often to 补补身 already.
