Started work a week ago at my new workplace. So far so good..since it still the honeymoon period. Hee hee, everyone has been really friendly and nice which is not ununusal since we tend to be more well-behaved on the first meet up :) let see how it goes after a while but based on my feelings, I think it gonna be a great place to work in just like my previous workplace with great zany colleagues :)

The best thing about the new workplace is that I am almost automonous...doctors are really busy creatures and I propably been left along to handle my own stuffs. And since I the only one doing my job, hee hee..I have full control of my own work.

Just have a national day party with gym buddies...oh goodness...food was criticized till very very badly. Hee hee...Cat says we gonna practice before we cook again! Well, ha ha a point that is well said and well taken in...we will strategize the next time round and if possible I should endeavor to make them get a really bad tummy ache so that they know when to zip their mouth SHUT! I think that works better than if I spend ages brushing up on my cooking skills... Ha ha
But it has been fun and it was really funny to see A got all heated up under the collar and ending the UNO game in a really spectular manner, I think I has not seen such tantrum being played out ever since I left primary school..hee hee
This just goes to show that all of us have an unsighly moment..counseller and teacher inclusive :)

Well ...as of now it off to SGH for a 4 weeks attachment, think I going to learn loads but the scary part is to implement and carry out all the duties by myself back at TTSH once I back to my workplace. Let hopes everything goes well!!

Eh I know..supposed to have already blog the last post....
but just remember that I forget to post about Food for Thought...a diner that Agnes bought me too...


Our desert...yes..supposed to be main course first..but well I a dessert gal! hee hee... It devil cake if I not wrong..can't really taste it cos silly flu still bugging me....pardon the pun..hee hee but still could taste the chocolately of the cake...
Our main.. ...slow pulled roasted pork...I like the bread :)

Cream of mushroom..not very creamy which endures the soup to me :)




Our salad...which is very interesting...cos it a mix of chinese and western...almond slices..and chicken..but with soy sauce drizzle..hee hee...it an aquired taste..but it does really grow on me..
I like the concept of Food for Thought...part of the proceeds go to charity and it always nice to know that I am contributing while at the same time enjoying myself..it might sound shallow and superficial..but helping others does not alway have to result in scarifices or putting ourself through hardships. This is a nice way of helping others too :)
Ambience wise..it is unpretentious and laid back. A place unlike alot of other resturants or cafes in SG which make it worth a visit. I do find the staffs a bit undertrained though..they get a few orders wrong and forgets some too....but well..they all pretty young and this probably a part time job whereby they are still very new at :) I do like the friendless of them though :)
Might go back if I have the leisure but hard to once I start my new job..haha no more long long lunch break for me!









Okie okie...last post okie..haha
juz want to post a pic of my silly bro who just came back from camp..
goodness so skinny now...but at least I can see his 6 packs....getting way too skinny though..ask him to eat more...how can he be skinnier than me lor..wa ha ha

Look skinny?? trust me ..in real life he IS!!

Trying to fake the 6 pecs out..haha..did he succeed???


I promise I going to stop the posts soon... ....
hee hee...
Wanted to talk about the love of my life...I love many things...like my family, my friends, my new job, my gym, my baking and all the other aspects of my life..basically I am very much contented excepts for a few glitches here and there..hee hee but well that another story...
But there are two things or rather two little creatures that take centre stage in my life beside all the other loves...hee hee ...and that my little pets..since they are such integral part of my life...how can I not blog about them now and then :)

Went Ikea recently to purchase a new drawer for my baking utensils..cos it getting way too many stuffs!!! Ha ha Mum complaining that my stuffs are overloading the kitchen and I should moved out to get my own kitchen..
So off we went to Ikea ... and I got a new drawer..
After My purchase of drawer and organizing of my stuffs..it put me into a mood for baking..so this is my first bake of the week or rather of the month :)

Many many cupcakes...I halved the recipe and still ended up with about 3 dozens of mini cupcakes...that cos recipe calls for a 6cm diameter cupcakes and I decide to go for miniatures which is about 2.5 cm only. Cupcakes supposed to be oozing with chocolate sauce in the middle ala mud cake..but haha turns out to be like brownies..taste wise..i would not say its bad but neither it is fantastic....
unrelated to baking..but hey..that my meiji collagen that keeps my skin supple......hee hee stock up many months of supplies cos it so much cheaper in Japan than in SG!

My baked books... ..Baking bible and 500 cupcakes and muffins frm my dear colleagues...see that front pic of the cupcakes book...that how my cupcakes supposed to turn out!!! argh.....of cos reality is far from fantasy....haha I will try my darn best to improve on it...


Baking tins, measurement cups, rolling pins etc..plus of course..mixing bowls...

Other side of the drawer.....I have digital scale! hee hee digged it out from the recess of my kitchen drawers while I was cleaning up the kitchen....hee hee decide to appropriate that for my own use...now it in my Baking Drawer! ha ha


Another Drawer...that where all my disposable stuffs are in....paper bags, rubber bands..cups, cupcakes, muffins cases etc..

Another side of the same drawer....baking ingredients..chocolates (Lindt, Hersheys, Dars, Varlhona..) of course there are also flours, sugar etc...biscuits cutters and its lotsa lotsa of its..although You can't see it..hee hee....rolling pins..BTW that Qoo bag..that a drink pack from Japan..hee hee...I love Qoo drinks..cos I love that cute character...beats me y I love that monster..haha




The upper top of the chest drawer..filled with all kinds of tibits and emergency food whereby parents are not around and we are left to fend for ourselves..
Spend one whole night and morning cum afternoon the next day to clean up the mess in the kitchen...changing some furnitures in the kitchen and clearing my chest drawer...
But i am so satisfied...hee hee with the state of cleanliness that I have create....that I am so proud of myself..woo hoo






Bear with me..another post... ..

I went Malaysia..or rather JB during last Friday....with who else but my loveable and cute colleagues.
Hee hee...we have a whale of time...1st all...we go for yummy yoghurt..all time favourite of Wendy...
Next up...some little bit of shopping to get our legs going....but wanling the only one with spoils..the rest of us were too restless to get anything..
Bought tickets to watch a Thai horror flick...and it cots onli RM 10 bucks! haha that half the price in SG!! Popcorn was darned cheap too..hee hee...
We went Giant to do some grocery shopping..hee hee that my fav pastime and Charlene too..that sweet gal bought diapers and milk powder for her baby brother's baby..heehee

The highlight of cos..is going tamah Sentosa.. ..to eat SEAFOOD

Pics to show wat we have .. ...

My blur ticket stub...wasn't sure what the name of the horror flick ... but it about a drum that is being guarded by a guardian spirit.. ..
Not the car....but the little cat beside it....it was so skinny...that I decide to take a photo of it :) our cats in SG are so well-fed in comparison .. ..


The whole lot of us.. ...Look at how tired I am :(


Chilli crab...can't tell you wat it tastes like though...


Egg...well its fluffy... ..ha ha



Clams!! in Sambal..haha if its hot..not sure

Drunken Prawns....nice tasting broth according to the rest..but to me..tastes like well..water..haha



Prawn Paste Chicken......




Fish! ... ..I love this type of presentation...cos the fish has to be reallie fresh to be eaten such way :)


Fried Mantous...for the chilli crab...it comes at the begining...haha which leaves us baffled cos well..can't xpect us to eat that first rite..
We still have a fried kangkong (vegs) that I didn't take photo of ...hee hee cos when its comes..we were too busy digging it for me to remember to take photoz!!
The whole dinner comes up to RM 168..which translates to roughly about SG $15...I would not say it really worth it to go JB just to have cheap seafood..but well...it still fun to go hang out with friends especially with wacky ones like those that I hang out with! :)
I miss ya guys!!









Another post...

I finally quit...heehee after so much hesitations and considerations...take up the courage to quit..but of course with the security of a new job first.
Will be starting my new job next week.....essentially dealing with the same group of patients but different spectrums and different environment. Hopefully I love my new job :)
Initally was thinking that parting will be bittersweet and I propably cry, but I didn't. I guess that because I was sick ...and was on MC for the last 2 days of my last week. And the last day that I went back, I ended up clearing my stuff till 5pm in the evening and didn't even manage to finish my clearance! Had to went back another day to do clearance and handover.
I love my ex-colleagues and will miss them loads when I at my new workplace, but hopefully we keep in touch and remain good friends. On my last day, they bought me to Ichiban boshi for lunch and it was delightful even though I could not taste what I was eating :(
My sweet colleagues gave me two new spanking cooking books and a cake leavener!
Ha ha, I guess they really know me well and I spend lotsa lotsa time juz checking out the pics!
Of course, me being me...left them lotsa goodies..though not make by me....hee hee afraid they starve to death without me leh....
Okie....a few posts to upload...will do it sequentially and keep it short..hee hee
I went to FF's Members party and the theme was 60s! Goodness, 80s not a problem..but 60s..hey that way before I was born!! hee hee...did some research with agnes and I realise that 60s is the start of the hippies lovechild era - the era of free love, freedom and drug...and on the other end..the start of mod fashion and the born of anorexictrend - twiggie...
Had a blast of time..and we were all so co-ordinated. A lovely surprise awaits us when me and lily reached Agnes's house, turns out the we three gals ended having the almost the same outfits..we know we were going as a-go-go gals but little did we realise we even manage to coordinate the colors! hee hee...for the Aquaz gang, little surprise to know that they are even better organzied...they turned up as ma jies with two xiao jie in tow..hee hee
The guys even smarter, one turns up as Rickshaw man which ensures that he does not have to do anything to himself except dress down...and really dress down. The other even smarter, turns up as himself...haha malay kumpung boy!
Pics for u guys to see and enjoy...
