Happy meal (341/365)

i love happy meals from macs because of the toy really. and over the years, i brought alot of such toys home, only to collect dust when i display it out. I was forced to throw away alot of them during each time spring cleaning.

now, happy meals are so much more versatile. we can choose the 3 items we want. like mix and match. my current favourite combo will be nuggets, and that is cos i don't eat cheese, so no cheeseburger for me, corn cup( my new favourite thing) and ice milo. All for 4.20. and that is my lunch. sometimes for the sides, i will choose their apple sliced. it is very nice but maybe not so worth it. We can get a full apple for half the cost macs is selling us for.

Buitoni Pizza

got to try some samples of Buitoni pizza and I was pleasantly surprised by the taste! I'm not a big fan of frozen or ready to make food (ok excluding instant noodles). and for frozen pizzas that I've eaten before, it normally has this weird artificial aftertaste.

so of course when I was preparing this pizza for dinner, I had relatively low expectations. I just wanted to fill my stomach and since it was free anyway. but as I said, I was pleasantly surprised, the pizza tasted so good!! the mozzarella cheese melted nicely and the pizza dough was not too hard like some other freshly made pizza.

my sister loved it too and was asking for more! too bad I only brought back one sample. I'm definitely going to buy Buitoni pizza when they are available in stores!!

A friend in red (340/365)

 

She was so bright when i met her today that i requested for her to be my picture of the day. Of course, i have to protect her identity so just the shirt.

this silly girl went bangkok recently and bought 20 tee-shirt. She only wears tee-shirts and she went extreme and bought 20 pieces on the first day of the trip and then relaxed for the whole trip and just eat non stop. maybe that explains this picture.... if you know what i mean.

2nd night in a row

yes consecutive 2 nights of working the 2nd shift at night. been having the planogram rollouts for these 2 nights. tiring! :(

and again I took the opportunity to sneak pictures of green display in the supermarket. I think huggies diapers just changed their packaging and look. I don't remember huggies being associated with this kind of green. hmm, green doesn't seem like a colour I'll associate with diapers though..looks like a battery brand though..

ok, back to shelvings :(

Happy birthday! (339/365)

I went to baby Cole's first month bday. He is my colleague's baby boy, whom i helped to name. Secretly, i'm darn proud of this fact. Anyway, i watched my colleague from being pregnant all the way until her delivery. So i kinda watched and was there while cole developed and grew. Too bad, Cole was asleep the whole time we were there, couldn't get to play with him. Never mind, babies grow up fast. He should be up and hopping, laughing and talking soon. Time flies.

night shift in Giant

it's another late night at the supermarket again. so here's a picture of a product display in Giant Vivocity.

its the festive period and you can see the retail space is very competitive with all the different brands trying to dress up their bays to grab the attention of the shopper as well as win a share of their wallets.

sigh, working the night shifts does make me angsty and depressed :(

Something red came in the mail (338/365)

I wanted to show the whole red envelope but i realised to protect the privacy of the recipient (obviously not me). Anyway, i love receiving mails!and especially if it comes in such red envelope. But my happiness died shortly after i opened. Nothing special, just some bank promotions and offers. But still, the won me over with their red envelope already. And no, i am not taking a picture to flaunt my nails but they are pretty aren't they!! haha

drink up!

drink more water! it's good for your health and complexion! I realized my friends who have very good complexion all drink alot of water so I must cultivate the habit of drinking up! I am such a camel at times, especially when I'm at home, I don't drink enough water!

oh and I hate eateries that charge for water!! how expensive can giving complimentary water from the tap! besides we pay for service charge!

A spread of Nonya food (337/365)

And we end the trip with a spread of Nonya food. As you can see, this whole Melaka trip was all about food. It's like a mini food trail. The sad thing is that we didn't have our own transport or we could travel further to eat more goodies. This is what going to malaysia means. food and more food. If i can, i would plan a food trail in malaysia. Penang Laksa, char kway teow, chicken rice from Melaka etc.

anyway, peranakan food is not as spicy as i thought it would be. but the use alot of different spices to make the food smell very good. one good meal i had!! *burps*

Selfish Gene Cafe

met up with my excolleagues for brunch at this cafe on this beautiful Sunday. and i like this cafe! cosy and serves good food! it's hidden in a corner along Craig road, near outram mrt.

concept of the cafe is similar to alot of such cafes sprouting up in tanjong pagar and tiong bahru. but I like this cafe more than the likes of strangers reunion, forty hands etc cos its less commercialized, hence lesser crowd. so u can really enjoy the brunch on a comfortable setting :)

nice catch up as always with like minded friends :) the 3 of us shared 2 mains - the popular breakfast platter which was really worth it! and a ham & cheese sandwich. don't be deceived by the simple boring ham & cheese sandwich. this is somehow taste really good! the cheese was heavenly.. I will definitely come back to visit again!

my first DnD!

it's been 8 years since my jc prom and that was also the first and last time I really dolled up. today was another opportunity for me to dress up and look pretty! the saying, 'there's no ugly women, only lazy ones' is so true!!!

I really happy with my look to night! :) I'm glad I decided to dress up cos everyone was so glamorously dressed! to think I was afraid that doing my hair and makeup was abit too much! now I'm really thankful I decided to be elaborate!

the dnd was held at rws and the theme was red and/or black. what a boring theme eh? was quite afraid of wearing the same stuff as somebody else but good I didn't see anyone wearing the same outfit. we had Michelle Chong guest starring as Cinderella and she was hilarious! I love her mans! a pity her performance was really short but she had us in stitches!

it was a pretty nice experience and the food was surprisingly good! Had a good time tonight! ;)

Jonker Street at Melaka (336/365)

Here i am at the tourist place of meleka-- Jonker Street, And you can recognise it by this huge 三叔公. This place is a place where you buy back all the local products and also try the famous durian chendol. Jonker is a street, opened air and all. And today's sun is REALLY hot. I would have enjoyed myself if i wasn't burning and sticky all over. But this is a street full of heritage. I won't mind going back melaka, but not with the whole extended family. =/

Gula melaka

was digging around in the kitchen to find green pictures. and here you go, a packet of brown sugar! it actually smells quite nice! reminds me of nonya desserts!

and yay it's Friday! have a sweet weekend everyone!

Macs at Maleka (335/365)

the moment i land at Melaka and found out there there is a macs opposite my hotel, i dived in after putting down my bags. and nope, i am not a fan of Macs, especially in Singapore. But i like to explore different countries' macs and try their chicken. because different place really taste differently. Melaka's chicken is nice-- that is my conclusion. Yums

Clogs! (334/365)

Traditions, traditions.

I remember days when my grandma will wear these clogs. Not wear them outdoor though, she wear them in the master bedroom's toilet. And i remember the days when the loud clocking sound is heard, i know she is going into that toilet to do her business.

Nowadays, don't know which dialect, but some uses clogs as wedding's pin li. The day where the groom comes and give the bride all the gifts. Forgot what is the meaning of it as well. But i know i won't want to have them. If loud shoes has to be given, i rather choose and click clock heels! Haha, it can be red!

innovative cereals

I think this is a really good and innovative idea for cereals! convenient and serves the purpose of many! mums can pack into their kids' bag to bring to school to have during their recess break, young working adults can stock up in their office for a quick morning breakfast or afternoon snack.

perhaps I should feedback and ask them to bring to singapore! will you buy these kind of cereals if it were available in Singapore?

Decorated podium (333/365)

i couldn't find a decent picture for the day and so this decorated make shift podium would have to do. this is indeed a season of christmas and decorations. even podiums outside restaurants are decorated nicely. to go with the whole fill. i think one year really pass very fast. now, everywhere is decorated with the Christmas feel and before we know it, countdown to new year will be here! and soon, cny will be here and everywhere around us will be docorated differently again.

my Nike bag

guess how old is this bag?

6 years!!! yes, it's so old! no wonder it's so worn out already. this was probably one of the more expensive bags that I ever bought and considering i bought it so many years ago. got it from during my very first overseas trip on my own to hong kong! actually this bag holds quite a lot of significance. it was also during that time that i started being obsessed with the colour green. I remembered during that trip most of the apparels I ended up buying had green in them!

that hong kong trip was particularly memorable and special. bought it with my first pay and kinda my first proper part time job after the a levels. how much I've grown since then mans..

iPhone covers

my good friends will know my obsession with iPhone covers. ok not anymore but when I first bought my iPhone. I just kept buying iPhone covers. and as you can see, my love for green is displayed in my purchase of my iPhone covers as well. I have different types of green covers!

I think I have over 10 iPhone covers. but you know what.. I'm kinda bored of them already. I'm tempted to buy more new covers yet the rational side of me knows it's wasting money! besides I am super tempted to get the iPhone 5! maybe when my contact expires next year. hmm...

No chocolates for Christmas please (332/365)

Someone showed me this Godiva chocolate cataloug brochure today, saying that she wants to shop for chocolates. Christmas is becoming, it is the season of love and gifts. I don't like to receive chocolates as gift. First because i don't have a sweet tooth but most importantly, chocolates seem like the easiest, most not creative and boring gift? Thoughtless i would say, because it is so easy to pop in a shop and buy chocolates as gift.

so yea, don't me chocolates for christmas.
