Xpress’ Girlies @ Holland Village

It has been a month since the girlies at Xpress met up… =) And of course like every other meet up.. Princess Vera will always be there…….

This time around, Princess Vera was in a mini demin skirt.. which easily revealed her sexy navy blue panties.. HAHA! So young and so sexy ya.. I’m sure it’s the mum that chose this colour for her.. tsk tsk! teach Vera how to be sexy at such a young age =P

Anyway, we met at this Vietnamese restaurant @ Holland Village called Pho Hoa… I havent really tried Vietnamese food before.. So it was a refreshing change =) My impression of Vietnamese food is that it’s super healthy and nutritious.. That’s why you’ll see that Vietnamese are all so slim!! Now it confirms my hypothesis…

Trang (the Vietnamese Intern from NTU who just ended her internship at Xpress) joined us too =) So, we made her do all the ordering.. haha!

First up.. Some vegetable and mango salad with prawns.. Sour, tangy with a subtle sweetness…

Then, came the ‘po piah’… I forgot the name of the dish.. But the wrap is almost transparent.. With tonnes of vegetables inside.. 100% vegetarian dish.. haha… nice too!DSC00484

Then we had this ‘minced meat stuck to a sugarcane shoot’ dish.. haha! Sorry, I’m really bad with names… but it is basically meat ya~ =P

Then, came our main dish~ Their famous pho – Vietnamese noodle.. I’ll say the noodle is like a thicker version of our kway teow.. haha.. Nice! Mine is with chicken shreds… DSC00487

Whereas, they shared the Beef Pho.. I don’t really like beef… But i tried the soup… It tasted funny~ =P DSC00489

Last but not least, we ordered another salad… Haha! as you can see, alot of greens again.. With chicken meat.. The meat tasted so much like barbecued pork… haha! But nice~DSC00488Ok, that’s all for food =) Though it seems like we ordered alot, we each paid less than 14 bucks… cheap! and we had good food.. haha…

Then it was time for some entertainment..

The girl that never grows up

I still like and collect stickers =)

Yes, I can see everyone shaking their heads now.. I don’t know why, but even though I don’t really use them (like pasting them everywhere the house), I still want them back home with me….

So cute….. Look at these pop-up stickers.. so adorable~ can you see the toaster, kettle, pots and pans and apron? They have faces too!!

DSC00479

Maybe I should do something with them.. They should be paraded and not hidden in my drawer.. haha..

Shall start pasting stickers everywhere in my room now =P

Sunday brunch is “Family Time”

This Sunday, the family had a nice brunch at Margaret Drive… Whole chicken with some vegetables.. *drools* Simple feast but lotsa fun!

Adjourned to Queensway to check out shoes.. Even a simple rest/tea break at Mc Donalds is so enjoyable.. This is what money cannot buy~

Due to my superb camera skills, I couldn’t get my head inside the picture.. But it’s ok~ You can imagine me inside.. =P

And it’s another week……

Kelong Trip

It was my first time going to a Kelong.. A floating kelong, located pretty near Changi Village.. A 10 mins boat ride from the jetty and we’re there~

It was a department welfare activity.. So my job for that day was to eat eat and be merry =)

The kelong is really wobbly.. Not recommended for people who are easily sea sick..

The highlights of the trip was……. In chronological order~

Batam Trip 20-21 June

And so, I went to Batam again… For the second time! =) Twice this year already.. haha~ But it was with a larger group this time.. The first ever COKTY and TTTLC overseas trip!

Not easy to plan coz it’s such a big group…. haha… But it was worth all the effort! =) It was a very enjoyable trip.. And going with a bunch great pals made time pass so quickly… I’m missing batam now~~

Anyway, let me note down all the highlights of the trip.. haha.. I shall let the pictures do more of the talking =)

We arrived at Harbourfront early, and went to collect out boarding passes.. To our horror, our details were all printed wrongly.. Scrambled here and there to get the details right, so that we can successfully board the ferry… Luckily we made it in time *phew*

I can’t wait for the next trip! =)

It feels great to just escape the city life for the weekend and enjoy being kings and queens for 2 days.. hee….

Till then, Bye bye Batam!!
