Unexplainable.

Regular M'sia Shopping at Aeon Tebrau City

2012-02-27T13:03:00.001+08:00

My family started driving into Malaysia after Swing's parents organised a Malacca trip by car last year. So, on and off, we would go into Malaysia and head our favourite shopping spot, Aeon Tebrau City. It is really easy to travel to this shopping mall by sending your GPS to "JUSCO Tebrau City". There are Dorothy Perkins, Mango, Cinema theatres (1 popcorn 2 drinks at 9.90RM!), JUSCO (super big scale departmental stores like Isetan), arcades and lots of F&B stores!

Their anchor tenant, JUSCO's membership card:

Expired :x Just re-newed(12RM) before I got back

My family signs package with Thai Odysessy for Full Body Massage done by Thai masseurs and while they are enjoying, Swing and I headed to Kenny Rogers! Had been missing it badly after my bad experience at Kenny Rogers Singapore (http://zombieriddled.blogspot.com/2011/11/kenny-rogers-roasters-holland-village.html) and also because my dad insists on KFC everytime we come to Malaysia :/

Unlike Singapore, you have a choice of Original, Black Pepper or BBQ Chicken:

A half meal cost around SGD12 and the portion is enough for Swing and I!

SGD12 includes 1/2 chicken, 3 side dishes and a delicious muffin!

Colourful menu:

Tadah! The 1/2 chicken here looks small but..

Look! 1/2 chicken is enormous!

Pool of Black Pepper gravy!

We choose the delicious chocolate muffin!

Ordered Country-style mushroom soup:

And our unlimited re-fill drink at $5.90RM:

We carried on the window shop around and saw this new store:

Lots of candies and those preserved plums etc.

Went into JUSCO and shopped for cheap sushi!

They have a whole row of sushi (at the right of the picture below) at 1RM which is less than SGD50cents!

Big packet of wedges, spudsters and twister fries at 6Rm which is less than SGD3!

Shopping!

Ramily Burger Chicken Patties!

Bought J.Co's Ice Cappuccino and Ice Chocolate and they gave complimentary glazed donuts! Do they do it in Singapore too?

[Nuffnang Invite] GIRL TALK musical

2012-02-24T17:22:00.000+08:00

Special thanks to Nuffnang for inviting me to Girl Talk Musical!

If you had been active on Facebook and twitter, you should have heard many people recommending this GIRL TALK musical, sold-out Broadway musical at New York featuring the three talented beauties below:

My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Source: dweam.com

I must say I'm totally impressed by their vocals and their professionalism when they engage audience with Q&A, songs and dance! The contents are all experiences of worried women with humour, emotions and entertainment so the hall is pretty much filled with ang mohs and working adults; majority are ladies. Both Swing and I feel very honoured to be able to enjoy this broadway musical; it is really entertaining! :)

This GIRL TALK musical is held at Jubilee Hall of Raffles Hotel:

Swing and I in the classy washroom:

The interiors of Jubilee Hall in Raffles Hotel:

This musical is actually held between my 3 consecutive exams days and I made a firm decision to attend this musical so I brought my lecture notes along to study:

No photography or recording devices to be used during the Girl Talk musical so I just headed to snap photos with the beauty cast:

Thanks Nuffnang again for this invite for a wonderful mental-stimulus processing (HAHA!) musical!

Big torso, small calves :(

We missed out dinner while rushing so we bought cup noodles at Mobil while Swing's topping up petrol and this is our new favourite:

7-Select's Chilli Crab

Enjoying cup noodles with VONO (Malaysia) instant Mushroom soup which taste like real cooked mushroom soup! It is a must buy if I see it in Malaysia!

Xoxo

Exams are over! Crab treat!

2012-02-24T16:55:00.002+08:00

Last paper is over!!

Swing and I agreed to go back for the Salty Egg Crab at 526 Jurong West Street 52 which we headed earlier on with Lilian (http://zombieriddled.blogspot.com/2011/12/salted-egg-crab-jurong-hill.html) to satisfy our long torturous cravings!

$28 for this crab but just look at the amount of salted egg!

I really really enjoyed eating crab now (I don't eat earlier on!) & I can't wait to go again!

Porn's again!

2012-02-24T16:23:00.002+08:00

After Swing's birthday countdown, we headed to Porn's @ Junction 10 again the next day!

Porn's very interesting chopstick packaging:

"Porn's - Your best oral experience"

This time round, we ordered Tom Yam soup (as recommended by Vivien) :

Lots of chilli padi and spices!

We ordered Phai Thai as well:

And their signature Prawn Cake at $8.90 but it taste really awesome!

Enjoy!

Swing's 22th (Icing room DIY cakes + Eye Infection)

2012-02-24T16:16:00.003+08:00

We are allowed one week to study after final exams and I had an injection from the scratch when I rubbed my eyes. I had very thick double eyelid instantly on the affected eye and it hurts so much to even just by blinking it :(

Accompanied my Dad while my mum goes for a corporate dinner and got Daddy to head Jurong Point with me, hehe :)

Went to Icing room to get a small cake to DIY! This fruit vanilla cake cost $12.80:

Here are the decorations provided!

Bought this cute angels in a heart shape for $2+:

The final product!

But I'm left with so much decoratives so I decided to just spam the sides of the cake:

See still left so much!

My Valentine Date

2012-02-24T16:07:00.005+08:00

Valentine's Day 2012 is a very important date for us.

For almost four years together, we have never had a actual Valentine Day or any anniversary celebration. During these celebrations, we end up with bickering and unhappiness. So for this Valentine's Day, we told ourselves to keep it really simple :)

Bought a Valentine cake from Four Leaf for $13.80:

Then we bought movie tickets to catch We not Naughty at Lot One:

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars!

The storyline as usual relates very much to typical Singaporean students' encounter just that the ending is always uncomplete like it is concluded in a rush :/ I'm pretty impressed that they managed to star so many singers in this movie :)

After movie, it is dinner's time and we headed Food Junction for Yoshinoya. We order upsized bowl with hotspring egg :) $6.70 each with desserts and side dish - check them out!

Xoxo.

On the last day of school @ City Sq Mall

2012-02-12T12:44:00.004+08:00

After leaving school, Swing and I tried to get some displays for MyBlackTulip at Serangoon and guess what..? The items that I wanted was out of stock, how unlucky am I! Argh. Nevermind! Swing's car aircon control was malfunctioning, and we only managed to fix it back by tearing the parts out one by one and fixing it back. Bad lucks :// These is only 2 out of the 5325023975235 incidents that happened after the start of 2012. Argh.

We headed to Aston's @ City Square Mall:

Black Pepper Chicken with Baked Potato and Onion Rings

Teriyaki Chicken with Fries and Tasty Rice:

My super chui face after all the incidents that happened.

Not forgetting the wound on my face :/

That dwell there for a week already.

Remember this queue?

It belongs to Hot Star which has 2 outlets at Shilin Night Market:

From: http://zombieriddled.blogspot.com/2011/10/taiwan-day-3.html

We have got it in Singapore! At City Square Mall, right in front of KFC.

It is a pity that the chicken is not as tender as those in Taiwan but the size of it is more or less the same! It cost only $4 over at the Singapore outlet but I still think it is totally worth it cuz it is so much bigger than the other Chicken cutlets sold in Singapore :)

But, another unfortunate incident happened :// The chicken cutlet is so big that Swing and I tied it up and wanted to eat back at home since we are heading back already. I slept all the way till the next morning. A really really long sleep and the chicken cutlet is still in the plastic bag :/

Hais.

Stay postitive, Stephanie!

(Long time since I last called myself Stephanie!)

Life is still gonna carry on. Smile :)

Porn's Sexy Thai Food

2012-02-12T12:30:00.000+08:00

Swing, Baby Weiwen and I headed to Junction 10 (former known as Ten Mile Junction) to do filming for IMC project. After the filming, we headed to Porn's to try the Thai food, as recommended by Vivien and since it is opened by Pornsak :)

The ice water provided in very cute little cups :)

We order one plate of rice since we are not really hungry,

And we ordered one bowl of green curry since we're not sure if we could take the spiciness.

But it is amazing tasty! Ordered the second plate of rice:

Even after 2 plates of rice, we still can't finish the Green Curry because it is so so so delicious.

I can't wait to go back to try the Tom Yam Soup that Vivien recommend :)

Last day as a NYP student

2012-02-12T12:05:00.001+08:00

Three years had past; everything seemed like it had just happened yesterday :/

Thank you everyone in MK0904 that accompanied me in these 3 years of Diploma studies. Not easy at all when my heart crave towards working life and I am struggling to complete this. Once again, thank you and thank you all of you wonderful people. I don't know when our lives will cross again but all the best for the final exams and your further endeavors :)

Best Regards,

My Favourite Curry Rice! @ Redhill Market

2012-02-07T12:41:00.002+08:00

This is my favourite curry rice in Singapore!

I am a crazy wet food lover. I love rice with lots of soup or curry!

The dishes (cabbage, sunny side up & toufu) are really soft and taste light.

One of my favourite dishes - Pork Chop; where Swing and I have to order separately to keep the crispiness. This is the $2 share :)

Super watery sunny side up!

Entrep Day (Finally!)

2012-02-07T00:33:00.001+08:00

Finally, Entrep Day is over!

A year 3 module, basically a showcase of a business idea from everything you had learnt in the 3 years of business studies :) We had to showcase our idea to real-life investors and hear the critic.

Our flyers

Our prop :)

Preparing..

&& it was a GOOD job!

Hurray!

With our "company" staff tags!

CNY day 8&9 - Bai Tian Gong (Why sugarcane?)

2012-02-07T00:29:00.003+08:00

Day 8 is the busiest day for Hokkiens where we prepare for the countdown to Day 9 and pray to the Heaven :)

My hardworking daddy!

The huge feast:

The super huge roasted pig!

The pair of sugarcane above is to remind the Hokkiens of WW2 while they pray to the Heaven. I heard my Granny said that during WW2, on the 9th day of CNY, while the Hokkiens try to escape from the Japanese, they came to this huge field of sugar canes. They squat down, looked into the sky and prayed very hard to be missed by the Japanese soldiers. Just as the Japanese reached, suddenly, the whole sky turned dark and the sugarcane covered everyone. The Japanese saw the dark sky and decided to turn back. The sugar canes shield them from the Japanese's sight so from then on, the Hokkiens are grateful to Heaven and made an effort to pray on this day. If it happened to me, I would make sure the whole family remember this ordeal.

Xoxo.

CNY Day4 Evening @ Crust Pizzatrip + Three Crowns Holland V

2012-01-27T23:10:00.002+08:00

After spending a fruitful morning, I headed to Holland Village to meet the Zhous early evening. We had a Pizza gourmet in the evening at Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar first.

Potato Wedges @ $8

Took a long time to serve thou :/

The pretty girls (:

Thin Pizza with thick servings of ingredients!

Around $22/$23 dollars for an 8-piece Pizza;

allows up to 2 different flavours.

This is the Sausage Duo; taste very yummy!

These are a little spicy but I forgot the flavours already :x

Next, the group decided to chill out at Three Crowns for a chatty night,

KC came along with Monster who went for a hair cut upstairs!

Safe drinkers - Coke and Cranberry Juice :)

Monster finally done with his hair cut!

CNY Day 4 @ Festive Hotel + Skyride + Luge + Sentosa Flowers

2012-01-27T23:10:00.001+08:00

Koka Instant Cup Noodles are great for staycations - No MSG :)

Festive Hotel has a ice maker machine at every floor and they have this very cute ice container!

Off to the Luge early morning!

10 rides for $60 only!

Can be used interchangeable :)

Save around 50% !

Off to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze :)

McDonalds' at Siloso Beach is awesome! A permanent cooling spot at Siloso beach away from that scorching sun :)

We walked through Sentosa Flowers :)

Back to Festive Hotel for a shower,

The cheapest F&B at RWS with the shortest queue,

Ruyi, under Tung Lok group.

Minced Pork Noodle, YUMMY!! @ $6.90

CNY Day 3 Night @ Festive Hotel + RWS + M'sia Food Street

2012-01-27T22:43:00.004+08:00

I feel so horrible by Chinese New Year Day 3 morning with the hurting jaw muscles. Took a short rest at home and headed Resorts World Sentosa's Festive Hotel (again, i know! Click to read past Festive Hotel post) to bai nian with Swing's family (:

A little gambling on the comfy bed :)

Hyper Baby Wei Wen pestering to go swimming pool :x

Swing's dad told us before that sitting under the parting of our living house brings bad luck in fengshui's point of view. This escalator at Casino has so many similar partings; trying to make you lose money in Casino!

The interiors to Casino are all shaped like a bird cage to trap your money, hahaha :D

Around 9plus, we headed to the new Malaysian Food Street but almost all the stalls are closed :/

Ordered the Bak Kut Teh which was the only stall left with food,

Totally regretted it.

It tasted very sweet; not really a Singaporean-preferred style. The meat pieces were a little hard and the no. of pieces in each bowl is inconsistent :/ $6 per bowl of soup.

CNY decorations around RWS,

I really love Candylicious' setting! Created for patronisers to take photo with!

Yeps, early morning like really EARLY at 1am.

It's a family tradition to count down to CNY day 1 and head to Bugis to pray. We used to head Chinatown after that sometimes.

CNY Preparation

2012-01-22T23:40:00.000+08:00

22nd January 2012 - Lunar New Year Eve.

The busiest day for all traditional Chinese families, especially the Taoist and Buddhist where we do the last minute spring cleaning and prepare all food and rituals to welcome our new year.

The ~~whole~~ family working together to clean the house:

Washing of toilet, 2 manicures, 2 pedicures and removing of bed sheets.. Super tiring!

Until it was dinner! When all the hard work paid off! Our standard menu every year, but yummy!

Pig trotters and mushroom soup

Curry Chicken

Hong Kong Mee

Broccoli with scallops

Mushrooms and fa cai

Steamed Chicken

Braised Duck

Home-styled Shark fins Soup

Chiong-ing Entrepreneurship for presentation before CNY preparation :/

See my new thumbdrive with my name sticker :)

After presentation is a small little shopping at town!

Ending with guaiguai (:

Steamboat @ Swing's house

After a trip to Orchard for some budget shopping, I headed back to Swing's house for steamboat with Baby Weiwen and her family (:

Rants about my missing thumbdrive

2012-01-18T02:29:00.001+08:00

Just last week, I bought the Rilakkuma name sticker remember? I even included my mobile number after my name. I had a photo of it 2 posts back.

I lost my thumbdrive (with a small Rilakkuma hp strap) And guess what?

I didn't stick my Rilakkuma name sticker on it. If this is in FML, u wished u could click "You deserved it!" , I know right!

I am starting to feel the impact of this lost thumbdrive with all my last semester projects and some personal photos. In fact I'm blogging about it because just as I was into my sleep, I woke up realising I might have to work my night through till Friday where I have Entrepreneurship project presentation. All my slides and illustrations are in that thumbdrive! I have to draw again, photoshop again, do PowerPoint and design PowerPoint AGAIN.

After waking up to this shock, I couldn't sleep at all. I actually went to sleep at 10 so I could wake up earlier to be punctual for tomorrow's 9am lecture. It had past 2am and I'm no where near sleepy. I read Facebook, stalked people on Facebook, read tweets, read trends, read gossips, read blogs, read 9gag, read FML, edited some photos and now.. Blogging.

I feel so lost without my thumbdrive. In Year 1, we were told to save a note document with our contact details so that any kind souls would be able to contact us if it's found. I never had a thumbdrive in my entire life. I only bought a thumbdrive recently less than 6 months ago because it was on promotion :x Lol, and also for the ease of transferring files from my laptop to my new netbook. Double self-stabs; I deleted that note document accidentally while clearing other files to make space for my photoshop files (you know they are kinda big actually).

*another FML. Clicks on "you deserved it" again.

Lesson learnt
1. Attach a long strap to ur thumbdrive so it becomes instantly bigger for you not to miss it
2. Stick (even your most precious) name sticker on it.
3. Create a note document with your full contact details.

If you see my Black 4gb Sony thumbdrive named as "STEPHANIE" with a small Rilakkuma hp strap around free access lab Nanyang Polytechnic block b level 5, please inform me! 94368221 Please && thank you in advance! :'/

Okay, it is the end of ranting and I'm still not sleepy yet -.- good night to everyone else!

Resorts World Sentosa + Vivo City

2012-01-17T11:49:00.001+08:00

The next day after the trip to Marina Bay Sands, Miao Ling, Vivien, Keith and I headed to Resorts World sentosa for our Human Resource Management project.

The entrance to the hotel corridoor which missed me the other time. there should be a sign to tell me that Hotel Michael, Festive Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel can be reached through this entrance!

The comfortable lobby at Festive Hotel:

Group mates!

Hard Rock Hotel. Pop-art themed.

Back to Singapore island, MiaoLing and I headed Yoshinoya at Harbour Front Station for other project discussion. After Miao Ling left, I waited for Swing to arrive and we window-shopped around Vivo City. We managed to reach a glance of fireworks from Resorts World Sentosa! My camera is not that good to capture the sparks :/

After that, Swing and I head Ben & Jerry's for Chocolate Fudge ice-cream! Yummy!

Xoxo.

Trip to Marina Bay Sands

2012-01-17T11:18:00.001+08:00

That day, Miao Ling, Yi Hui and I headed down to Marina Bay Sands for a mystery shopping mission for our Services Marketing Management project. We took train to Marina Bay and walked around 10mins before we reached The Shoppe @ Marina Bay Sand.

The beautiful sunset at Central Business District..

Inside The Shoppe @ Marina Bay Sands:

From the coach terminal up to Marina Bay Sands Hotel

Beautiful interior:

When we came down from the escalator, the Casino was right in front of us.

And then, we realised that day was the open house for BayFront MRT station which is in the left direction facing the Casino (as seen above).

We took a video, please take a look:

*Disclaimer: For project use only.

2012-01-12T23:54:00.001+08:00

Just that day, I headed out with Swing to Pizza Hut @ Lot One!

I swear I didn't photoshop my fat fat arms!

The angle Swing took was awesome, Haha:x
I upload directly from my memory card!

Student meals rock for a Pepsi lover like me - because there's free flow Pepsi! :)

We ordered 10pcs Sweet 'n' Spicy Drumlets!

We ordered 10pcs because it is selling at $8.80 and 6pcs is selling at $5.90. Really confident that ~~Swing and~~ I will definitely be able to finish it! Haha :D

After that we took train to Jurong Point to stock up MyBlackTulip's rings and update Chinese New Year promotion. Took some photos with the natural sunlight from the glass roof:

Didn't manage to see really nice clothes because both of us were really too distracted by black coloured clothes :/ So we decided to bus home (:

Doing a typical face of Swing's sister:

Doing a typical face of BabyWeiwen :D

Ending with a smile (:

&& I finally did my Rilakkuma sticker!

Had been hesitating whether to do it or not! But I recalled feeling pekchek that I didn't have a name sticker on my stuff to differentiate between others. Glad I did it! So happy now~

2012-01-01T23:02:00.000+08:00

Finally we had time for each other on New Year Day so we decided to head Vivo City by train (:

Wanted to queue for Marche, but the queue was really long and our stomachs are screaming already(Lol).

Every dining area was crowded so we walked to Harbour Front Centre and headed Sakae Sushi instead:

Pronounced as"kan-ni-na-bei"

Gyoza, our all time favourite!

Must-order in any Sakae outlet, Hotate!

After that, we trained to Chinatown to meet my parents and sisters. Daddy was craving for Chomp Chomp Fish soup so he drove us there.

Really sad because we reached around 11 plus and the stalls at Chomp Chomp were almost all closed. So we went to our favourite dessert stall, Dessert Bowl. (Read here: http://zombieriddled.blogspot.com/2011/11/dessert-bowl-again.html)

Salted Egg Crab + Jurong Hill

2011-12-26T13:17:00.002+08:00

On X'mas Eve's Eve, I felt itchy mouth, Haha ^.^ So Swing and I asked Lilian along to bring us to Jurong West area for Crabs!

My family only cooks mild spicy chilli crabs and because I have a little of seafood allergy so I don't eat seafood a lot but Lilian always tempt me to try this Salty Egg Crab near her house area. So we made our way there! (:

Order Hotplate Tofu to increase the variety a little! (:

And also Salad YouTiao with pork floss!

Ta-dah! Salty Egg Crab!

We bought the medium sized one at $28 (:

Wow, I didn't know Salty Egg crab can be that tasty! I had been experiencing cravings since :/ But it's seasonally priced!

Next up, we made our way to Jurong Hill to jalan jalan..

$5 per rod to catch here and it seemed that the fishes got caught every 3-5 minutes and this girl below has the strength to carry the fish by its tail with her bare hands because the fishing lines have no winder. The fish is freaking big and they caught around 20 fish already! But I don't dare to take photo because the whole family were fishing there.

2011 Recap!

2011-12-22T10:54:00.001+08:00

So many things happened in 2011 and up to now, so many things have changed. I'm still trying to keep up to this pace now. 2012 is coming and if the world is really coming to an end, this will be the last Christmas? Not to forget that, I will also have wasted my 3 years of studies.

*******

Alright, I remembered on the 1st day of 2011, Swing and my family decided to drive in to Malacca. It's my Dad's 2nd time driving into Malaysia and we were really excited and nervous; worrying that we couldn't catch up with Swing's dad at the highway. Malacca's journey is a 3 hour drive from Malaysia custom.

Stopping by a small coffeeshop at Johor to get the car washed opposite.

Off to Jusco at Tebrau for some leisure shopping - RM1 parking charge!

We stopped by Muar for a toilet break + pumping of petrol.
My family is using an auto car so petrol runs really fast
compared to Swing's manual family car.

After that we finally reached Malacca for some night shopping at Jonker Street!

Tried the Chicken Rice Ball but I really think it's not that yummy after all!

I started off this year with manual driving class. It is kinda difficult for me to master the use of clutch, my knees tremble a lot when I'm in circuit or while waiting for the traffic lights.

Next, for February, we had a small 21st birthday celebration for Ming!

It was Chinese New Year after that!

Next up, it is my Industrial Placement Project at Bank of China:

During April, MyBlackTulip had ventured into a physical store space at Jurong Point Toy Outpost! We had to manage this small account carefully because there were rental charges and deposit to be made before we can place our items inside to sell.

Our tiny winy cube space (:

This is a super busy month because I'm starting to plan for my 21st birthday party! And I had a chance to meet my ex-IP Zone colleagues for a treat at Kushinbo!

Got me crazy-in-love with Japanese Cuisine!

Festive Hotel @ Resorts World Sentosa

2011-12-20T19:09:00.001+08:00

Lucky ass me! Wei wen's daddy had a chance for his family to get a stayover at Resorts World Sentosa's Festive Hotel as part of his company welfare! I felt really excited because my lecturer just mentioned this themed hotel earlier on! Headed there after the Xiao Long Bao buffet!

But it was a super tough decision to make whether to come or not! My Xiao Long Bao buffet dinner ends around 10pm and the next morning 8am is my Entrepreneurship presentation! I made a firm decision to go Festive Hotel that night and ignore my sleep to rush Entrepreneurship report and powerpoint presentation. A night at Festive Hotel cost more than $400 even at Agoda.com.sg without breakfast and complimentary entrance to other parts of RWS; I don't know when will be my next chance, so I better not miss this chance!

Along the Festive Walk!

Been here last year before USS started its operation, when RWS was just built: http://zombieriddled.blogspot.com/2010/03/sentosaaaaaaa.html

Along the Galleria with lots of branded boutiques!

Finally reached Festive Hotel! The RWS Hotels (Hotel Michael, Festive Hotel etc) were linked via the Galleria walkway (:

Ice dispensers by the Festive Hotel lift! (:

The walkway looks amazing! Like lots of movie theatres in a cinema!

Tadah! The Family King room!

Balcony view!

Top bed:

From the ladder:

The washroom:

Adjustable mirrors, shower amenties, lots of towels in this huge toilet, wash area and shower area (:

Shelves and wardrobe under the top bed:

Started working on Entrep report and powerpoint after that, no time to take photos at all. I didn't sleep at all; was at the armchair the whole night with the laptop :(

Headed for the first Sentosa monorail and trained to NYP :/
