Christmas Starbucks

you know Christmas is coming when Starbucks Christmas drinks are available. along with the likes of toffee nut latte, the merchandise at Starbucks are also very Christmassy! but most of them are all red! found this green teapot among the red! though not ur typical Starbucks green. counting down to christmas!

Red M&M (310/365)

There is a new campaign in the office for the last 2 months of our sales month. And this campaign is related to M&Ms, thus they give every agent a packet of M&Ms. They gave out 2 kinds, one is the peanut one and the other one is chocolate. I was so happy i was given the peanut one!

Teh Botol

was introduced to this drink by my friend when we were in batam last week. apparently it's a very popular drink in indonesia, especially in bali. I liked it when we tried it at our lunch place. so I ended buying a few packets back when I saw it a the supermarket! would have bought more back but I can only carry so much! they have the less sugar option too!

I guess you can still get this drink at some lucky plaza stall. but probably at thrice the price!

Cold weather (309/365)

I want to drink hot campbell soup on a cold rainy weather like today!!! My personal favourite is the England's clam chowder. Followed by this cream of chicken.

I am salivating already!

Legoland

what's the new in place that everyone's talking about? yes! Legoland in JB! there are lots of tv commercials promoting the place, groupon deals for trips there as well as many companies enticing buyers with Legoland tickets as the prize.

i'm quite curious how Legoland is. I've seen friends posting on Facebook and saying it is actually quite fun. but I think like all other attractions, I'll wait till when all the hype dies down then I'll consider making a trip down to see it for myself!

Nuts about nuts (308/365)

I love nuts!Peanuts, cashiew nuts, macadamia, you name it, i love it!

My favourite has got to be salted peanuts. I am always a savoury person more than a candy tooth person. But not all nuts are healthy. A healthy diet has got to have some nuts, no salt, no sugar kind of nuts. But everything you take has to be in a correct proportion.

Camel is one of the first brands i know that sells nuts. I used to buy alot to snack on when i was a kid. Now, i don;t eat as much nuts because i am scared of being heaty. Recently when i go Bangkok, i bought back 3 bottles of nuts. I finished one bottle in just a few days of being at home. I immediately took the rest of the bottles to office. At least other people can munch on them. I won't be so sinful then.

offsite meeting

had an offsite meeting two Fridays in a row! for some internal planning and training workshop. it's good to be out of the office. but I've been spoilt with too much good food. which also = FAT!!

today's session was pretty relaxing. mainly cos i have a manager who has kinda prepared everything for our team! yay to diligent and meticulous bosses! it was a good team bonding day too! thanks be to God, I'm starting to adapt to work and liking my work environment! :)

New dessert at sushi tei (307/365)

I am a regular at sushi tei, definitely once every week and i know their menu inside out. I probably might not be super familiar with their seasonal menu because they come out every 3-4 months or so. And nowadays, Sushi tei has a internal challenge among the different branches where they try to come up with new recipe. Those keep changing as well. Think they are trying to find a popular one to make it permanent, but so far, none make it.

So desserts like this won't be on the menu as well. I keep a look out for new items on the conveyor belt. Pardon my blurred picture. I took it when the conveyor belt was moving.

Phone cover? (306/365)

I had to take this as my picture of the day because when i saw this i wonder to myself, will anyone really us this as a phone cover? It is so red, and so, so hello kitty!

Well, to each his/her own.

Just Salad!

there's a new salad joint opening in my office area, Just Salad. and as part of the opening promotion, a free salad bowl is given for w wet purchase of salad. and next time when we bring the salad bowl, we get 2 extra essentials dishes. but i don't think I'll return back to place anytime soon, unless I want a healthy diet or I want a change. I think the salad here is too pricey and not so yummy. fancy paying 10bucks for a bowl of grass. granted there is a wide variety of interesting salad sauces and it's nice. but I rather use my 10bucks to buy myself 2 bowls of papaya soup noodles with chicken chop at koufu!

bleach

ok this is a damn unsightly picture. looks like my house pipes need repainting. but the focus is the bleach! cos it's a green bottle. I like adding bleach to my white clothes! loves
it when my clothes get washed and come out really white! feels so clean.
but don't like the biting feeling on the skin, hence need to use the rubber gloves when doing the laundry with bleach!

The transformation of radio (305/365)

This is how much radios have transformed over the years. I still remember when i was 5 years old, radio is a black colour box that don't look particularly pretty. They is a button for us to push and then we can put our cassette in it. And there is a record button, the normal rewind, play and fast forward. Look how much radios have transformed. So pretty nowadays!

Do not waste food (304/365)

I used to like eating buffets. I am a person who likes to have variety and not a person who likes to gorge myself. But after every buffet, i end up feeling gorged and this is probably why!!

Wastage charges!

I thought this was there to ward off people who has intention to waste food. Because when eating buffet, alot of people tend to take more than they can eat. They do so because it is buffet, they can take everything. Whether they can finish, the don't care. So that is why companies came out with this wastage charges to make sure people don't waste food. But over the years, i realised i really cannot finish everything sometimes and i will initially try to hide my food here and there, but i realised they never ever charge me. So i got boldy and waste bit by bit, thinking ah! this sign is just something to scare people with. They won't really make people pay for it. UNTIL, i have a friend who was charged for wastage! LITERALLY first person i heard who gets charged for food wastage! Now i know, this is not just a warning, it is real!

home packed lunch

yay mummy packed spaghetti from home for me today! in a green lunchbox. and I used the green spork (spoon+fork) that my colleague bought as a gift for me from hong kong. actually it should be a sporknife. cos it has a knife feature too! 3in1, very good for camping! I like it!! very convenient and for meals in the office! home packed lunches help me to save money too!

 

Prego paste sauce (303/365)

I am a huge tomato based pasta fan. And Prego was the first brand of tomato sauce i tried to cook my pasta with. It is nice, i still like it now, just that i make my own tomato pasta sauce now. But my standard is nowhere near Prego's. Mine is not as rich as Prego's. I will perfect my sauce one of these days when i have enough practise and enough guinea pigs to try out for me!

green cab!

cabs are so cheap in batam! though I don't like that other than in Singapore, most other southeast Asian countries do not use the meters for their taxi. sometimes I do wonder if being a cab driver in these countries is profitable cos they can only depend on tourists.
but anyway we met a nice cab driver on the way back and I feel bad that we thought he was trying to bluff us when he didn't want to bring us to a bakery opposite our hotel. but he brought us to the same chain of bakery somewhere else. it was quite a hilarious moment. the short getaway was good.

Old man candy (302/365)

This made me feel that it is some herbal medicated candy. one where people eat to recover from a cough or something. Such old man pictured candies still exist! super old school. i think if i am a film maker and need to shoot a scene from the 70s, this will most likely become one of my prop. Things like that pop out when you don't have a need for them. When you wanna find oldies stuff, it is never easy.

Indonesian instant noodle

i love shopping at supermarket, especially when I'm overseas. checking out what unique products they have. and I guess it is kind of a occupational hazard too. leave me alone in a supermarket and I get self entertain for at least an hour or two! and when I'm in batam, I'll buy back their indomie! you see many Singaporeans buying cartons of indomie back too! within my stash of indomie, I'll include a few cup noodles too! and I like that they have the mini version. nice to snack on although instant noodles aren't very healthy snacks!

A&W

and of course when you take the 50mins ferry over, you definitely can't miss eating at A&W! I miss having that fast food chain in Singapore! always love their curly fries, waffles and root beer!

but the service is really bad! had to wait so long to be served at the counter and for the food to come! thank you for waiting? pfft. so slow and because of their inefficiencies, we couldn't get to eat our waffles! :( but the curly fries and root beer still taste as good! much love!

Bags of charcoal (301/365)

I chanced upon this when i was looking for wire gauze. This can usually be found near things to use during bbq. Fire starters, tongs, all the plastic plates and cutlery. Other than for bbq, what do people usually use charcoal for?
