We met Sis for dinner and movie at Tampines! We were catching The 3 Musketeers @ 9:20pm~

First thought: Why is there 2 Orlando Bloom?

Second thought: Wow, fencing is really boring.

Third thought: The ‘fake’ Orlando Bloom is really cute!

Heehee. Still feeling kinda sick… SIckness, Y U NO GO AWAY?!

Tuesday 01/11
It is Mr Toh’s 1st day of work and I hoped that everything will go smoothly for him. Met him for dinner at Kovan after his work~

Wenesday 02/11
I did not wake up coughing in the middle of the night! What an achievement!

Friday 04/11
Went over to Dad’s house in the evening, waited for Mr Toh to buy dinner back for me. 😀 We’re now just waiting for HDB to inform us when to collect our keys to our new flat! But so far, no letter yet.

Saturday 05/11
Today’s Mr Toh’s first off! So happy that he can get weekends off~ Heh~ Our original plan was to meet Kelvin & Sis at her house for cooking + makan session, but Kelvin had something on, so we scrapped that.

We ended sleeping till 3+, *oink* & met Sis at Hougang~ We wanted to check out the G2000 warehouse sale, but we were out of there in 5 mins, there was nothing much.
After that, we headed to Hougang Mall for our lunch + dinner at Zhuang Yuan Fu. Sis was very nice to treat us. I felt bad about it..

Then, Mr Toh wanted to cut his hair, so while he got his haircut, Sis and I went to buy beancurd! She wanted to take a look at the swing Gugu has at her home & didn’t want to go over empty handed. But while we were on the way there, Gugu called and said they were not at home, they were going over to Ah Gong’s house. *faint*
We still ended up going to Gugu’s house, luckily her gate has slits so we can still see the inside. Haha.

We then took bus 81 to return to Sis’s home but we got down at the next stop because the whole bus was so stinky!!! It smelled like salted fish + some stinky cologne.

We end up taking the cab back to Sis’s place & met up with Kelvin. I returned Sis the $ for the beancurd so they ended up being something we bought for Godma & Godpa. Lol.

After sitting for a while, we headed out for supper~ We had prata at Kovan and then Sis sent us home~

Sunday 06/11
Mr Toh had work today. I went over to Mommy’s place and helped her settle some things. Then we headed to Yishun Chong Pang to meet my aunties & uncles~ Bought a pair of grey (again) shoes for work! My current favourite color is grey, can you tell? =X

After that, we headed to Northpoint as my cousins wanted to buy something. We walked around till it was dinner time, but as the foodcourt was really full, we headed to the coffeeshop at Yishun Central instead. After dinner, I parted ways with them to take the bus back to Hougang.

Monday 07/11/11
Public Holiday FTW!! Slacked the whole day! Slept till 3+ in the afternoon and watched my TV shows till Mr Toh got off work and met him for dinner. 😀

Tuesday 08/11/11
Mr Toh met his friends after work to go have some drinks and I stayed home and had McD for dinner! Double Filet-O-Fish FTW!

Wednesday 09/11/11
Met Mr Toh @ Clarke Quay for ramen! I ❤ Santouka~ But we felt that the standard kinda dropped…. Hmmm…

Pork cheeks!!! *Drool*

Thursday 10/11/11
Met Mr Toh at Bishan for dinner. I was having diarrhea the whole day, omg…felt slightly better when I was on the way to meet him, but had to go to the toilet twice. T_T

We had Din Tai Fung for dinner! Happily ordered their fried rice, xiao long bao & siew mai but it was an unhappy meal. The food was not nice. We much prefer the Tampines branch. *sigh*

Egg fried rice. Pretty 'meh'.

Xiao long baos! We prefer the ones at Zhuang Yuan Fu... *sigh*

Funny looking siew mai. Very bland. T_T

This was really not a good meal! We then took the bus back to Hougang and met Andrew for tea~

Friday 11/11/11
Did some OT after work. Realised I was the only one left when leaving the office. Creeeepy! I didn’t even dare to go to the loo. Lol!
I had a sudden craving for crayfish pasta. So I met Mr Toh for dinner, I wanted to go have Swensens! Reach Orchard at 9pm sharp and was on my way over to Paragon when Mr Toh called~ He has gotten off work~ Wee!

We walked over to Cineleisure as I saw a Swensens there when I passed by on the bus earlier, but, turns out that is only Swensens Cafe! Duh! The cafe word was too small, I didn’t see it. T_T

We asked the staff and they said the nearest Swensens restaurant was at Centrepoint~Hurriedly went in and ordered! I was so freaking hungry!

Deep fried mushrooms! Sooo yummy!!! ❤

Mushroom soup. Very chunky and bland tasting. Not sure if the deep fried mushrooms affected our taste.

Cheesy baked mussels with garlic! Although a tad salty but delish!!!

My crayfish pasta~ The cayfish was so yum!

That was quite a satisfying meal~ But no more big meals like this! Budget budget~ Our home is coming soon and we need more $$!!

01-05:
Went down to AMK to look for Mr Toh after I went to Mommy’s place, then we took bus to Tampines & met up with WS, HM & KQ. Took train to Tanah merah to meet XM.
We were going to the airport to send off 小姨. Wanted to eat Fish & Co but they were closed already. So we had Swensens, who were very smart to open so late because there was a looooong queue.
During dinner, we were asking what zodiac each other was, WS replied by doing a vomitting expression. I didn’t get him at all, then he said is rabbit cos “兔” = vomit (sounds the same).
LOL till I almost peng san. T_T

Then Mr Toh called for bill, after signing the bill, he kept holding on to the pen, until the waitress had to ask him twice for the pen. Lol!! His reason was he forgot he was holding the pen, but we secretly think he wants to keep the pen. LOL!!

02-05-11 morning
I woke up early to iron shirt for Mr Toh as I forgot to iron the day before. When he was preparing to go out, I was using his pillow to create a “fortress” to shield my eyes from the morning sun. And his pillow was very soft so I said “你的枕头没有用,很软.”
He said “你没有搓一下?” I was still half asleep, so I asked why, he said “搓一下就硬了。” T_T
I told him, “Mr Toh, you suck at telling joke.” LOL!!
After kissing me goodbye, he left for work and I slept like a log after that~

ELECTIONS
It was my 1st time voting! So exciting! I’m glad that I finally changed my IC add last year, if not, I’d have to go all the way back to Woodands to vote! *faints* Mr Toh said if that happens, I’m on my own. *bleah*

All issues aside, I am very grateful and proud that I have a chance to vote at 26 years of age when I see someone voting for the 1st time when they’re already in their 50s…our polling station was at the void deck of the block right beside Dad’s house. The queue was a little long but overall, we didn’t have to wait very long. I had made my decision weeks ago and I didn’t waste any time, so I was out of the voting booth in less than a minute’s time. =)

I was very happy with the Aljunied and Hougang wins by the WP. But at the same time, I was also very disappointed that Potong Pasir fell. The stronghold of the Opposition, gone. A 27 year legacy, gone.

To the people that voted for PAP, regardless of what area you’re living in…remember this, you have voted for them to retain a majority of the seats, so from this day on, we do not wish to hear any of your complaints and whining. Take it to your elected MP instead. Don’t bother the rest of us.

After voting, we met KQ at Serangoon Nex, we were gonna catch a movie. Fast 5! We had booked each other for this movie weeks ago. Heheh.

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in Fast Five. In this installment, former cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race.

Since Brian and Mia Toretto (Brewster) broke Dom out of custody, they’ve blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he’s not the only one on their tail.

Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can’t separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey…before someone else runs them down first.

The movie was awesome and funny too! Based on the ending, I can’t wait for Part 6!

10-05-11 – Mr Toh’s birthday!!
I ordered a durian cake from 717 Trading after seeing good reviews about their durian products on a forum.
After work, I asked Mr Toh what he wanted to eat, pizza or KFC. He chose KFC so I ordered KFC for dinner. After dinner, I was thinking when to get the cake out to surprise Mr Toh, when he said he wanted to watch movie. So we watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans on the computer together.
After the movie ended, it was nearing 12 already! I was so kan chiong! Faster took the cake out and while I was lighting the candle in the living room, Mr Toh walked out of the bedroom!! Huh! My heart almost stopped! Haha. I sang him his birthday song and we had a slice each. The cake was good!! Filled with real durian pulp! Although the cream was too thick, but it was really good! Yummy!!

Mr Toh commented that he didn’t know what the cake was supposed to be, cause it was just a dome of cream. I thought it looked cute~

13/05/11 – Friday
Met Mr Toh and Andrew at Tampines after work and we caught Priest together.


[Source]

PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic action thriller, is set in an alternate world — one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church.When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on an obsessive quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

The show was quite disappointing, because we expected more. The lead actor’s very handsome though.

14/5 – Saturday
It was a quiet day for me. I went to the library, went home to rest then went to daddy’s house.

15/5 – Sunday
I met Chris at PS for high tea at Tea Cosy! We had been planning it for almost a week~ The food was pretty good. I love the atmosphere there too~
After that, I headed to Dad’s house to celebrate Xiangming’s 21st bday.

16/05 – Monday
I was on my way to work, when I crossed the road and suddenly felt very lightheaded. Took 1 more step and my body swayed to the right. I hastily reached out to grab the traffic light pole to steady myself. After taking a few breaths, I felt a little better… But that scared the hell out of me… 😥 But there was no repeat of that incident *choy* so I guess everything’s fine now.

I was sick for the week (23 May – 27 May), it started with a sore throat and became a cough with a little flu like symptoms, damn sian. Didn’t dare to go over to Dad’s place for fear of passing it to Hong Yi.

27/05 – Friday
I took half day off work to go for my dental consultation~ It was time for the extraction of my teeth. I had initially thought I’d only need to extract 4 molars, but Dr Djeng told me a bad news. I need to remove all 4 wisdom teeth too!! The upper 2 is fully grown and the lower 2 is impacted, which means they’ll require surgery. I wanna opt for GA, but the cost quoted by the doctor at Dr Djeng’s clinic was exorbitant!! Total cost was around $5k plus for the 8 teeth. T_T~~
I joked with Mr Toh that if I did the full set there, total cost for my teeth would be around $10k plus, I’ll buy insurance for my teeth!! If I fell and chipped my tooth, I’ll claim them for $$! Lol… But of course I won’t be extracting my teeth there, it is waaayy tooooo expensive. So I went to the polyclinic and got a referral letter to KTPH, where I read on the forum that Dr Sylvia Tay is very skilful~ Hopefully, it won’t hurt that much… Wish me luck!!

28/05 – Saturday
We caught Kung Fu Panda on Saturday @ Nex. I met Mr Toh at his workplace and we had dinner together before going over to Nex. When we reached there, Mr Toh suddenly felt like eating something, so we went to Cartel for the 50% off their coffee, cakes and ice cream! Mr Toh had a banana split which I kept calling ice cream split. I don’t know why! Lol. I had wanted to order a brownie cheesecake but that was sold out. T_T Boohoo~

In KUNG FU PANDA 2, Po is now living his dream as The Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five.But Po’s new life of awesomeness is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain, who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu. He must look to his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins; only then will Po be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed.

It was good!! Really funny and touching at some parts, I did tear at the part when his mom put him at a safe place and ran out to sacrifice herself so her son can live. T_T~
