Running Man Fan Meeting Singapore 2013

Running man is coming to SINGAPORE!
I wonder why Kwang Soo is not coming but I'm totally fine man. LOL
But sadly JaeSuk is not coming though.

But then....


MONDAY COUPLE! <3

Should I save for Japan or succumb to temptations?

[Part 2] Pator Weekend: Universal Studio Singapore

SORRY FOR THE LATE OVERDUE POST. 

Life has been extremely busy since I started work but so far so good!

Before I started work at my new workplace, I've been dying to go on an adventure weekend with my xdd, so after Banyan Tree Spa and all on Saturday, we head down to Universal Studios on Sunday!

Knowing the weather in December, we didn't "decide" to go until we see the weather for ourselves, and when we're up, the sky looks alright and NEA webby states that South part is the ONLY part in Singapore which will not rain (cloudy whole day) today. So after waiting for my xdd to wake up, we head to Universal Studios!

had I joined my coy first, I would have saved $28 on these small paper. 

admission is $74/adult. 

grab a drink before going in!

everything inside will be more expensive!

my xdd~ <3

right before the mini coaster ride!

@ far far away land~

yup, he end up carrying my bag most of the time. HEHEHE

Wee!!!

It's our turn next!

Trying to look like a police but end up looking like a villain stealing police car

hungry hungry! POTATO!

Tips on going USS: 

Go on a Sunday, it's much less crowded and the queuing time will be shorter for the rides.

If a ride has waiting time of more than 20 mins, take something else and come back later. 

If you walk for a long time in for the Mummy's ride and still dont see the end of the line, dont worry, you are on the right way. Dont stop. :)

Enjoy!

[Part 1] Pator Weekend: Banyan Tree Spa

Last weekend was an awesome one because my xdd took leave on Saturday (yes, he works every other Sat), we decided to have an adventure!

We took a train since it's really pointless to drive to town.

Smile~! anw, train rides are short now when we're playing game. :D

Since it's pointless to do outdoor activities these days (I've been observing, raining every single day last week), we decided to do something indoor!

Destination: Marina Bay Sands, Tower 1, 55th Floor

Banyan Tree Spa

 We were slightly late and there's someone else behind our appt, so we had to forgo the complimentary foot bathe. but we're still all smiles~~

 

My xdd loves the lemon grass tea served~

My second time to Banyan Tree Spa @ MBS

This is xdd's first, but he has been to BT Spa @ BT Phuket if you remember...

 

Got a little distracted in the room and forgot to take picture.

 

Basically, the treatment room is a couple room overlooking the CBD area with a bathtub by the full length window. We both did Balinese massage; no reason to get into the bathtub.

There is an oversized changing room for us and bathrobes to change into (which I still cant figure out why to this day since I wear it for 1 min and walk to the bed, and take it off again for the massage) and of cos to lock all my earrings and stuff in the safe.

 

The 60mins balinese massage was good, as expected, and xdd actually find this better than the one we did in BT Phuket (well, but one factor is because there were mozzies in our spa villa and he keep getting bitten and is itching instead of enjoying it).

If you're interested in doing it, it's S$200++ for a 60mins Balinese massage.
An indulgence yes.

happy boy after the massage

Our spa room

This kinda look sleepy/cheesy like some family portrait I know, I think we've yet to wake up.

(yup, I fell asleep) LOL

Looking out the window eating dragon fruit, papaya and green apple.

Sipping my calm lemongrass tea

#likeaboss

 

Ambience: 5/5

Massage: 5/5 (I tried medium-strong pressure this time while xdd tried soft-medium. If it's your first time, try medium)

Service: 4.5/5 (Thai hospitality is always good~ but the receptionist is not Thai though, and she kind of rush us through [ya, I know that's because I was late, but I DID pay $200+ for each person right?])

Cost: 3/5 (Given the location, service and quality, it's actually quite justifiable. But still feel the pinch, so 3/5)

Overall assessment: Will go again when I'm rich.

 

Since we're here, we might as well go up to the sky park for a look~

Gardens by the bay

View from the top.

Yup, he's trying to look funny again. :)

 

And then, we decided to go down to town for early dinner since there's nothing much at MBS to eat.

xdd suggested to WALK to Marina Square when I'm in my heels...

 

Of cos I strongly objected and we went town instead.

 

We had a lot of choices in mind of what to eat but we were indecisive until we reached.

We were still thinking of going paragon when we passed by Coffee Stars by Dao in Wisma Atria.

And my mind was made. :D

Coffee Stars serves fusion Thai and International cuisine, and from the taste of it, the Thai authenticity is quite apparent. Almost forgot about this place after so long. :)

xdd playing game trying to beat my hi-score.

(I think this game deserves a post on, let me do it later)

Cam whoring since I dont have to break my own hi-scores. :D

Thai Ice Tea!!! my favorite favorite of all time.

LOVES~

He had sauteed pork w basil rice which is really spicy, but no kick for him at all (WTF)

We shared a clear tom yam prawn soup,

AND I HAD A RIVER KING PRAWN SPAGETTI

(which is damn good)

 

We're not sweet lovers, but desserts here are worth trying.

we shared a Green Tea Crepe w Chocolate Sauce~

 Which is really yummy!

But 2 of us were so full we can't really finish. HAHAHA

 

In case you're thinking to yourself 'I always thought girls have another stomach for desserts, y Mich can't take meh?'

 

I dont have a sweet tooth or another stomach, I cant stand any form of desserts except ice cream, and asking me to eat more than 1/4 of a slice of cake after dinner will kill me.

 

Yup, I'm not a girl. Say what you want. :)

 

Total bill came up to 90ish (sorry cant remember the breakdown) but it was a satisfying meal.

 

Ambience: 3.5/5 (Middle of the mall, right outside Isetan. But nice hi tea feel)

Food: 4/5 (Try Thai)

Service: 4.5/5 (All good except that the last guy didn't know what cake we ordered)

Cost: 3.5 (slightly pricey for nice Thai fusion but reasonable considering we had a soup, mains, drinks and dessert.)

Overall assessment: Definitely will go again. Good Thai food is so hard to find in SG.

Great Eastern Women's Run 2012

My sis's first run. At point of signing up, she totally wanted to sign up for the 5km while I wanted to sign up for the 21km. However, she's still not of age to participate in the 21km, so we had to settle for something in between; 10km.

I forgot to bring my towel along. Heng sis got extra towel. Although it's small.

hehe, the fun thing of running w kakis, is that u get to camwhore after the run. 

Just pose w the medal. :D

Haolian boy like to wear ironman shirt out. LOL

 

This is my first women's run. I don't think I will ever join again.

I was late yesterday and I started running about 15mins after flag off (so there's hardly anyone in front). After 3km+, I finally caught up w the whole mass of people in front and....

 

THEY ARE ALL WALKING.

 

I felt like this is more of a walkathon than a run.

 

So no more women's run for me.

 

Some of you may argue that it's really because I was late which is true, but I dont see so much mass walking in other runs still.

 

AND THEY WALK, THEY WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

 

SIDE BY SIDE.

4-5 PAX.

 

Seriously, I obviously can tell you guys aint running the run.

But this is not your grandpapa road pls!!

 

oh well, but overall, the run is quite well organised la.

Although I wouldnt join it again. :D

Halloween FrightFest 2012 @ Flyer

That's right!

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you.

The girl who dont like to waste money to watch ghost movies to scare myself, went for Halloween this year!

 

This started as an innocent question one day while xdd was driving and Halloween was approaching.

I asked if he celebrated Halloween before and he said he didn't and thereafter is super enthusiastic to join.

 

So, with some hesitation, I asked my dear Ying and Stan along (ya, I dont know why we keep double dating since Bintan) since the more the merrier.

 

Ying is also like me, have this certain fear of watching horror shows and threshold for such nonsense is quite low. So, I researched on the LEAST scary Halloween event, and settled on the FrightFest at Singapore Flyer!

 

 On the cab to meet Ying and Stan for White Bee Hoon @ Sembawang.

Ying had NEVER eaten this before even though she is Yishunist.

*Shame on u Ying.*

 



 

 And here we are! Ying bought the tickets online ($28/pax), so there she is getting our tickets to hell.

Yup, it's the Undead Forest.

In reality, it's really the small "garden" (actually just a few trees and bushes) in the middle of the main circular building. The trail is only a mere 10 min walk.

Tickets to hell.

This is the scared face btw. Stop looking elsewhere.

Ok, he's perfectly not into the scared face thing. LOL

the queue~

why are so many people here waiting to get scared?

me and my sassy timid gf.

and my cheeky hornee looking xdd.

Last smile before we head in!

 

Ok, here's the story-telling part, because obviously I was too tramatised to take any photo.

I went in and I was freaking scared. FREAKING scared, is an understatement.

 

I was TOTALLY FREAKED OUT.

Apparently, the "ghosts" will haunt the fella that looks most afraid and STICK to him/her.

And unfortunately, that's me.

 

I was screaming my lungs off and the guy keep pestering me.

Xdd concluded that it was because my shirt was too revealing and they want to see more.

BUT I DUN CARE.

 

I'M FREAKING SCARED AND MINDFUGGED.

I WAS SCREAMING MY LUNGS OUT.

I CAN'T WALK.

I'M SHIVERING ALL OVER AND HOLDING ON TO MY XDD.

CRYING.

 

All I can say is, "工作人员~~!!"

And the hero was spotted in black.

He walked ahead of us, and stopped all the scary people from scaring us and we were out in a jiffy while I was wailing all the way.

 

After this, I just want to say 2 things:

 

1. NO MORE HALLOWEEN FOR ME. who the f suggested this anyway?! (oh its me. hehe)

2. My xdd is the man. He's so brave but I frightened him quite a bit from all the shivering and crying and wailing.

So much for a Halloween.
I felt a little guilty for wasting Ying & Stan's $28/ea but they were like telling me Ying was crying and all too, and I felt slightly better.

Next time, I will promise to read the warnings carefully and take it for real.
(The warning said something like; This is not for the preggies, weak hearted,.... and the scaredy cats.)

yea... I'm a scaredy cat... *purr*

It's Restaurant Week!

It's restaurant week next month, and thanks to my darling HZ, I've booked a Sunday lunch at OChre Italian Restaurant|Bar with my xdd!

A lil disappointed that there isnt much of a choice if I can only do Sunday lunch or Saturday dinner, in fact, all the atas ones I'm familar with are all fully booked by the time I have time to make a reservation this morning.

But it's ok! I'm sure any meal with my xdd will be a good one! :D
