Small Food #7

Introducing Small Food No. 7! =)

Welcome to HK Cafe.. Breakfast anyone? hahahhaa....

I made the menu and mat myself =P How awful... hee!

Seetoh & Liying's Birthday~

It was Liying's birthday some time ago, and it's seetoh's birthday tomorrow! =) And therefore, we decided to meet for a tai-tai Sunday brunch 2 weeks ago to celebrate the 2 ladies' birthday! hahaha...... another yr has passed, and I find myself repeating that I'm getting older (I shall not dwell into it again).. haha.. and instead, it's time to feel young again!

So therefore, like 2 little playful girls full of artistic flair, Qian Ru and I met early to decorate a birthday cake for the 2 pretty birthday ladies.. =)

I've always seen young ppl and children 'playing' and decorating the plain white cream cakes with colourful cream and sugared figures.. haha.. though it's not cheap, compared the conventional already-decorated flavoured cakes, this let's you decorate and write messages as you wish on the cakes! haha... had always wanted to try it, but didnt have the chance/occassion to dabble with it.. hee..

Yay! before we start... all equipment have been laid nicely in front of us... *rolls up sleeves*

The artists with their proud masterpiece! hahaha.. I'm really impressed with myself..

Isn't it lovely? =) I'll give it a 8/10... considering this is the first try! haha..

We had brunch at this new cafe called Raindrops at *scape~ This was recommended by QR... haha... and we found it small and nice!

Pretty ladies unite! =)

It's time for another class outing again.. soon.. haha..

After food, we surprised the birthday ladies with this lovely creation of ours! hahaha.. they were thrilled.. HAHA.. and took lots of pictures of this cake.. haha.. btw, seetoh is the bear (that's her nickname), whereas Liying = Lily = flower.. that's why we drew a bear for seetoh and lotsa flowers for liying.. haha.. this is called creativity! =P

Happy Birthday dear girlies~ *hugs*

Duno who asked us to make these funny faces =P Think it was one of the waiters.. haha.. and see who didnt obey the rules!

Proudly presenting Seetoh's gift.. haha... She's apparently angry and wants to tear the wrapper up..

We chatted for quite a while in the cafe and time just passed like that.. and we felt like tai-tais... HAHA... we parted soon after.. and of coz how can I not take a picture with my dearest Seetoh~  

I folded her a crane and now it's on my head......... then...

it's her turn... HAHA! we are just being lame and playful.. trying to find the innocence in us again.. Hee! Just like JC days....

Happy Birthday pretty ladies~ Love ya lots!

I've been bugged by quite a few ppl to organize another 18/03 meet up.. haha... Ok, will gather the class soon =)

Have you ever really loved a woman?

Even after so many years... I'll still smile everytime I hear this song =)

HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN? (Bryan Adams)

To really love a woman
To understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought
See every dream
And give her wings when she wants to fly

And when you find yourself
Lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s the one
She needs somebody
To tell her that it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman

To really love a woman
Let her hold you
Do you know how she needs to be touched?
You gotta breathe her
Really taste her
To you can feel her in your blood
Then when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s the one
She needs somebody
To tell her that you’ll always be together
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman

You got to give her some faith
Hold her tight
A little tenderness
You gotta treat her right
She’ll be there for you
Taking good care of you
You really gotta love your woman
And when you find yourself
Lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s the one
She needs somebody
To tell her that it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman

Just tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman
Just tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman.

Resorts World Sentosa

Visited our Sunny little southern island some weeks back... coz we heard so much abt RWS, and after visiting MBS, we had to see for ourselves, how does RWS fare against MBS.. haha..

What first greeted us when we alighted the monorial, were hordes of people, tourists, families, foreign workers, etc.. you name it, they have it.. everyone was there! maybe coz it was the long weekend, everyone took this opportunity to go 'overseas'.. haha

The facade of the attraction was predominantly brownish orange and had a weird tint of turquoise.. haha.. I had no idea why the developers chose this colour.. but it definitely didnt appeal to me.. If I were their designer, I would have painted the whole area with rainbow colours.. it's a family attraction afterall! set your mind free and wild =P

People were anywhere, everywhere.......

We walked around the vicinity and entered one of the hotels' lobby... and I was very amused to see the rounded figures in the background.. haha! let me molest the butt.. =P

We went off touring the hotels like tourists.. and everything seemed so new.. it really felt like we were tourists.. haha..

Even the comfy couch at the lobby looked so attractive.. like a giant biscuit.. *jumps*

haha.. Towkay Koh acting like one.. as though as he owned the shop behind.. =P

One of the main attraction at RWS... btw, there was an orange Lambo at the entrance.. I so want to hop onto it and drive it away.. haha.... crash into anything/anyone that blocks my way.. HAHA.. zoom zoom!

enough of dreaming...... we continued our tour around the area.. we were at the basement level actually, where the casino is located.. not at the ground level...

We had performers to entertain us throughout the day too =) Which I felt was very thoughtful of the management... Everyone's gaze were glued onto the performer...... I was quite worried for her though, coz she had no safety bands/ropes on her..

View from the ground level~

We couldnt sustain our excitement anymore and we trotted off to the happiest area at RWS (ok, maybe for the kids, to the gamblers, casino might be the happiest place for them).. haha........

Universal Studios! Woooo........... I feel like I'm overseas....... haha......

Sadly, this was the nearest I could get to the theme park =P Please wait for me.... I will come back for you.... haha!

Such a happy place right? It's like I'm in fairy tale land.. The last time I've been to such a themed amusement park (of such a scale) was at Tokyo Disney land.. and before that was at Movie world Australia.... I miss those places~ Can you see the popcorn truck? HOW CUTE.................. hahaha..

and there's Shrek too! =) can't find Princess Fiona though.. haha..

Next, we went to my favourite 'attraction' - HERSHEY'S SHOP, where they sell all sorts of things imaginable related to the famous chocolate.. =) It's a chocolate wonderland for me... haha..

Me with the world's largest chocolate bar! and it's edible....... 100%

Me with the Hershey's bear... so huggable! =)

Stealing a kiss from Hershey's kisses...

and a shot with the giant Hershey's choc syrup....... I want to bring it home.. haha!

I had so much fun in the shop! so much so that I don't want to leave....... Let me sleep with Hershey's... pls! haha...

After all the fooling around, we headed for dinner at this chinese restaurant called 'Ru Yi'... apparently it's part of Tung Luk Group (I think), coz the restaurant has a photograph of Sam Leong teaching some trainee chefs... haha... it's like a chinese fast food restaurant to me =)

I had my fried rice...

while he had his zha jiang mian~

Nice!

After our filling dinner.......... we walked around RWS again.. and soon, night started to fall... and RWS still looks nice with all the night lights.. There was even entertainment at night too.......

We watched 2 macho men perform some stunts with fire.. *hot hot* (pun intended) hahaha!

Soon, it was time to head home....... but before we left,

How can I not take a shot with Mr Hershey's! So lovely~ hahahha...

I was a happy girl that day........ I want to go back~ to Universal Studios!!!

Re-visit Haw Par Villa~

Mr Koh and I visited Haw Par Villa on Vesak day =) As it had been ages since he last stepped foot in the colourful villa, we decided to make a trip down to the south-western coast of Singapore.. and spent our Vesak Day afternoon there..

My last time there was not too long ago, and had gone there with my family during our Sunday brunches =)

Welcome~ I see that the park has been well maintained as I spotted a fresh coat of paint at the entrace - rocks area. I remembered they looked a little dull the last time I came.. haha.. 

Mr Koh with Zhu Da-ge.. hahaha...

Beautiful and colourful pavilion amidst the murky pond.. I was quite worried that the stagnant water all around will breed the little mossies, as I got a trillion sandfly bites the week before at Changi beach.. They were so itchy and left such ugly marks on my feet.. boohoo!

Fighting the heat, humidity and occassional mossie bites.. haha.. we walked around the park to admire the sculptures and statues, and all the colourful stories the park had to offer..

This is Tang Sang Zang resisting the temptations of the evil spirits...

This is the legendary Hua Guo Shan.. haha.. Looking at these sculptures and figures, I can only imagine how much effort had gone into making all these possible.. all by hand~

How can we forget the Monkey God! haha..

Posing with the figures~ =) Every section has a story board which basically explains the Chinese folklore stories and values the founders wishes to convey to all visitors..

We went to another part of the park which houses some of the newly painted sculptures.. I say this coz I remembered not too long ago when I last came, the colours of these figures weren't as fresh and vivid.. In fact, it looks so much better now.. As though the figures came alive and have a life of their own.. haha...

I cannot say this enough.. I applaud the skills and devotion of the painters/sculptors.. Painting and scuplting a decent looking figure is not easy, let alone such an excellent work.. I'm amazed by how every expression and emotion can be so clearly brought out by their talented hands.. haha..

This is cute! haha.. But I've got no idea who he/it is.. No idea if this is a good/bad guy too.. =P

However, this sculpture gives me the creeps... Perhaps coz it's too skillfully painted and sculpted, and somehow I could feel the sadness in this figure....... and it haunts me.. I'd better not look at it for too long.. in case I get nightmares *shivers* But it's a nice sculpture I must say...

Mr Koh took a picture with the naked mermaids before we scramble out of the park as we heard some thunders and the skies were slowly turning dark... =P haha.. look how blissful he looked...

while I had my private moment with Mr/Miss? Crab.......... I'm craving for some pincers.. haha.. GONG! *yummy*

We trotted off to Kent Ridge Park after that.. and had a nice stroll to the Hort Park - which was linked =)

One of the birds we spotted at the park

Hahaha.. fooling ard~ with the flowers and scenic backdrop...

What an enriching and healthy vesak day! =)
