Singapore Adventure: Sweet Thoughts

As I was about to leave the house this morning, a girl blocked my path and asked me if I was Jenny. I said "Yes", the big question mark on my face I can hardly conceal. Then the girl asked me to take the piece of paper and the pen she was holding and had me sign it. In exchange for it, she gave me a bouquet of pretty pink roses, a teddy bear and a box of Ferrero Rocher Chocolates.

Sweet Thoughts from my Prince Cookie. :"> I love you very, very, very much, my Prince Cookie. *kilig*kilig*

18 months and counting... ;)

Singapore Adventure: Sunday Morning @ Orchard:Scotts

July 8, 2007

Orchard: Scotts

My day started early. Another cooking expedition at the Orchard: Scotts - a nice, warm bowl of Sinigang na Hipon. And my victims, Eric, Marq and Abel.

Well, at the end of it all, there were 4 happy tummies. Hehehe.. So, I guess, this cooking expedition was a success. :)

After that filling lunch, the boys gave me a little tour of Orchard: Scotts. Of course, this calls for a lot of picture taking. Hehehe...

The photos you see here were all taken with Eric's brand new Sony Cybershot phone. So, obviously, there has to be pictures of him. Hehehe... The photos below were taken by yours truly. Tell me I am getting good at this - taking pictures. Please? ;)

Singapore Adventure: Pretty Scrapbook Stuff

July 4, 2007

Spotlight, Plaza Singapura

Last week, the Spotlight store at Plaza Singapura launched a one-day-only-20%-off-on-all-items-including-items-on-sale sale. And I didn't let it pass, of course!

I grabbed some stuff for my scrapbooking hobby - some craft punchers, chipboards, and a cutting mat. Well, there were a lot of other interesting stuff on the shelves but these seemed to be the essential ones that I don't have yet. That was the main criteria I had for picking the items. Hehehe..

I had only one craft puncher, a Christmas tree. It is a Carl, and costed me 180 PHP at SM. So, I decided to get some new punchers.

There were a lot of designs to choose from but I settled for these 3 in the meantime - Action Splash, Swirl, and Star. I got them for 3.96 SGD a piece. That's 4.95 SGD less 20%. I haven't tried the items yet, but I sure hope they are worth the (hard-earned) money I spent for them. The next time they go on sale, I will grab some more of these if they are worth it. Hehehe...

I also got some chipboards. I will be my first time to use these as I usually just print out my own letters and layer them on thick cardboards to achieve the same effect. But of course, nothing beats the real thing. Hehe.. So, I grabbed two sets - alphabets in the same font but different designs. One in red (Open Sky) and the other in green (Nature's Beauty). They are Fiskars, originally costs 21.95 SGD each, but I paid only 17.56 SGD for each.

I also wanted to get the ones in small letters but the colors were too dull. Not apt to my very "pastel" taste. Hehehe... :D

The last item is a cutter and a cutting mat. I have noticed that as the years went on, I am less likely to cut straight across a piece of paper without a rule with a pair scissors. Must be the age thing, or the eyesight thing which comes with age...? Hahaha... And so again, need to put the new tool to the test first before finding out if it works for me. Cutting tool and mat rang up a 9.95 SGD less 20% on the cash register.

My total spendings, 57.75 SGD.

I also threw in some buttons. That darned hotel washing machine destroy the buttons on some of my good office pants. So I need to replace them.

There, more shopping adventures in the coming week. I am feeling for some new gadgets. Hmmm... how does a new PSP sound? ;)

Singapore Adventure: Sunday Morning Tennis

July 1, 2007
Orchard: Scotts
Tennis Court 3

After preparing a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and buttered toasts for the gang, we were off to the tennis courts. But then, I didn't play though I really wanted to. There is still next week, so I'll try it out then. Hehe..

And so, while the sweat it out, I just took pictures, using Hazel's camera. I tried my hand on some action shots. Was actually successful in some. Hehe..

Just sharing... ;)

My favorite subject - Hazel. Hehehe... :) Nice game, Hazel. Keep it up. Ito na ang chance nating magpapayat! Hahaha... :D

My "senti" shot of Eric and a new acquaintance, Elaine. Nice shot, right? Hehehe... I love taking shots like this. Wala lang. Ang cool lang, don't you think so...? :D

Basta, next week, I'm gonna play na. Hehehe...

Thanks, Eric, for being such a gracious host. ;)

Singapore Adventure: Special Fried Chicken Barbecue

June 30 - July 1, 2007
Orchard: Scotts

Anthony Road, Singapore

And so, my famous barbecue sauce was put to the test... We bought chicken wings, cut them lollie style and marinated them in my barbecue sauce for around 10 to 15 minutes.

The marinated chickent lollies were deep fried. The remaining marinade, I simmered for 2 to 3 minutes, strained, and served as a dip for the chicken lollies.

Here is the finished product.

And the verdict... Three happy tummies! Hehehe...

That's me, Eric, and Hazel. No one was taking the photo, it was on a tripod. ;)

The bowl of Guinisang Monggo was care of Fred. Thanks for sharing the food. My tastebuds were not so excited about the strong ginger taste but it was pleased. :D
