Is Yvonne and Aaron's wedding today so I took leave to attend her wedding ...... this cousin of my hubby is not really so call popular among all plus her wedding is a weekday many did not take leave.  In fact my SIL (my hubby's sis) was the one whom dislike her alot she can even comment that she didnt feel like going to her banquet!  

Ok personally I feel that whatever what Yvonne did last time like fly aeroplane during our meet up, having bf only forget about us this kind of things just set aside after all we are close relatives shouldn't we just send blessing?  Can you imagine even my MIL was being influence!  

Telling me she won't go early to 3rd Uncle house and can even comment that her GUO DA LI cake have name on the cupcake and let ppl eat their names!  I was kinda turn off when she say that as she is the elders why she say that I told her "Mother, isn't it the same when one have birthday cake with name on it, I always have Alyssa's name on cake!"  She still can tell me birthday and wedding different! 

Ok back to the wedding ........

Is really not that nice when she married to the guy side without even a single of them follow her so she actually approached me and asked me for help.  TT & Junxi followed me to the groom side and after that we are off to church.  But I feel that this is an atas wedding hahahah I am sitting in an Audi sports ..... other Xiong Di car also atas car!

After church wedding we headed home to rest and make our way to Bugis by MRT and Mr Goh just make his trip down after work.  TT told me that her dress dun match the flats and asked me to bring her to OG to look for heels!  Just nice on the shelves have a pair of heels and she love it so I bought for her and there is a 20% discount so not so bad haha .... she is happy I am happy too. 

When we reached Hotel Intercontinental ....... can say we are 2nd to arrive for relatives so Mayne, Kean and I went to take free pics and my TT love it so much she took so many props and pose for it!  Dinner started around 8+pm ..... food was good with live band performing ..... we do enjoy ourselves but somehow table arrangement abit off as small aunt and family were being separated ..... sitting with Yvonne's friends!

Kinda bit off ....... but then all of us enjoy ourselves by taking photos and going around chit chatting!

Arthur turn 12 this year .... when I first saw him he is only 3 ...... and he is just a little cute kid whom I dote alot during those kiddo time and he was extremely sticky to me till his mum not very happy about it!  I even took leave to celebrate his birthday during his school time .... haha those were the days ..... 

My BIL make booking at MOF@Bugis for dinner is suggested by the birthday boy .... so we decided to take MRT down since is only 5 stops away from Eunos and is so convenient cos sometimes Bugis carpark will be full too. 

Sometime I feel we are very left out in the family ... maybe because we living alone not under same roof ... or maybe the relationships abit drift apart I dun feel we are a family .... seems like just relatives hahaha ... really the feeling kinda bad throughout the dinner seems like only I am dining with my husband. 

Anyway back to Arthur birthday ..... I bought him one adidas shorts .... hope that he will like it plus a owl figurine (this is for good grade for PSLE) and one owl recycle bag hope that he like it!

Fiona bought a new mj table from my MIL and we delivered it to her and I brought my black mj tiles along.  Had too many mj set at home so I just leave it there with her maybe next time she can use it dun have to buy.

Wed 

Went to Eastern Specialist for my last check up there ... cos they are closing down as the lease went up .... so I will have to go see Dr Lee at Gleneagles next time and to see Dr Heng in Parkway East so inconvenient next time!  Thyroid wasn't that good now I was a bit hyper hahaha ... is never so good as when I am pregnant!  Hope will get better and of cos hyper will be better as I can try to conceive without any worrying. 

Thurs

Moses Lim opened a Singapore Style Porridge cafe -  真粥道 on 17 November so Rosalind and I decided to try out.  Just nice my TT love to eat porridge so 3 of us headed to the cafe during our lunch time. 

The cafe was run by his son in law and eldest daughter but he was there helping out as well.... he came up to us and do some recommendation and told us their bak cho porridge is good cos the minced meat they handmade to make it more Q. The porridge was cook with soup base so is very favorable and  as I dun take pork .... I order prawn and fish ($6.50), TT order fish ($6.50) and Rosalind order the signature minced pork and pork liver ($6.50) we share a plate of braised chicken wing ($4) No service charge at all and total bill was $23 and they even gave us one cup of tea free ..... portion quite big  so I think is about there about the pricing.  Atas porridge like lobster, abalone and scallop are available too and beside porridge they serve rice too if wanna order their side dishes

If you are along katong area do give a try if you are a porridge person is located at 228 Tanjong Katong Road open at 11am till 10pm and for Sat and Sun they open till 11pm ..... remember dun go on Monday cos they are closed!

Fri 

Actually I have plan to bring TT to Angry Bird Space at T3 today but cos my helper remember wrongly of the date I wanna change she only make it today .... so we have to break the promise with her and tell her why she can't go today and plus it was raining heavily so we have to give a miss and will bring her again!

Tuesday - 20 Nov 2012

Thanks to Thomson Tan (one of our instructor cum TT's insurance agent) for bringing us out for lunch.  TT choose Ichiban Boshi rather than Pu Tien (really heng I am really scare of the food already).  

TT ordered the kids meal while I have Chicken Terriyaki .... the rest took saba set and some beef set ..... didn't take other pics cos I am hungry .... only took TT's cos hers is last to come ..... in fact they should have given the kids meal first cos the kids always eat very slowly!

End up I have to pack the food back cos she can't finish the food and the total damage for was $125.

Monday - 19 Nov 2012

Since is school holiday TT wanted to follow me to work .... lucky I have very family orientated boss that I could actually doing work and care for her at work.  Although my big boss was those bossy kind he was also fine for me to bring TT to work.  Really appreciate that cos I can bond with her!

My boss and my Secretary General (husband & wife) brought us out for lunch at the corner coffeeshop for the chicken rice.  Famous chicken rice but then now standard drop big time .... the rice was not really well cooked and chilli and ginger very diluted ... really great disappointment.  

Immediately after lunch TT asked my boss to buy her waffle!!! Haiz ..... she was always been spoil here ..... really buay tahan!

Nice place if catching up with friends over for an afternoon tea ...... really relax their custom made furniture was very nice too ..... their seats have varies design and size .... i was seated one which was low and small hahahah so I switch the sitting place with TT some couches can hold 2-3 pax!

Didn't really like the waitress they seems a bit unfriendly..... as for food was so so only ..... but I love the cake corner which really makes me mouth watery ...... share a piece of Mont Blanc with Candice .... abit disappointing ...... I still prefer Flor!  Evil sis and Angeline both ordered Pancake and Crepe respectively really sweet for Angeline's... Evil Sis's one still acceptable but is really a very big serving!
