:: Happy Birthday Jim Jim ::

We had a simple dinner together at Whisk in Wisma Atria. Quite nice food they've got there and I love the chicken and corn soup with poached egg. Let the photos do their talking instead.


Chicken and Corn Soup with Poached Egg


This is just a very normal knife... But wait till you see the next photo...


MY NAME!!! Athena using Athena knife... Hahaha


Even the fork has my name.


Rosie's Half Roast. The chicken is cooked to perfection! Every bits of it is tender, even the chicken breast part is super duper tender.


Mikimo's Pasta. On top of the pasta is a poached egg with lots of Yakiniku beef. The cream sauce is not too heavy and you can even drink it. We slurped off to the last bit.


Jim Jim reading his birthday card. "Dangerously close to being old"


He hates it when I say he's changing his IC soon.


With his new present


To end the dinner with a sweet note. We had Tiramisu in a cup


Carrot cake - A tad too heavy for our liking but it's quite nice.


Happy us

:: Happy Valentine's Day ::

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!

I had a rather different V Day this year cos I celebrated with my in-laws this year!
On this special day where all couples exchange gifts of love, it is also the birthday of my mother-in-law. So this year, we celebrated with her with a dinner at Vienna (United Square).

Anyway, I received a very special V Day gift from Dar Dar! (Drum roll.....) Tada..... I've got 3 bottles of concentrated bird nest. Yipee yipee, Dar dar knows that I've been taking it for good complexion and good health, therefore he decided to be practical this year (Anyway, he's been a practical guy all along, engineers duh).

:: Dinner & Dance 2008 ::

Had our company dinner and dance last Friday. Held at Carlton Hotel this year, food wise so-so, program wise so-so too... Haha.. I think last year's program is better. Prizes are better too.. This year, everything seems so-so only.. Haha, perhaps I have higher expectation.

Before we went for the dinner, went for 2 games of bowling first.. Haha, I'm a lousy player, terrible..

BEWARE! Loads of pictures coming up...


When will it be our turn?


What did Hua hua saw? I'm busy with the some spa voucher...

:: Pink Monday ::

It's Monday. Supposed to be a blue monday cos it's my BIRTHDAY and my Ecualyptus Tree is not in Singapore. The morning started like any other morning same goes for the afternoon... But guess what? I've got a pleasant surprise from my sweet colleagues just before I knock off. Calisa (my mentor/ mummy) was in cahoot with Keong, Yinfeng etc to have this mini celebration for me. They gotten me a yummilicious chocolate cake from Han's and a pretty pink Hello Kitty keyboard!! *Woohoo*

My blue Monday became a Pink Monday for once...

:: My Advance Birthday Celebration ::

I had my advance birthday celebration today. Haha, to think that I was still quite upset with him initially for not celebrating my b'dae as he is supposed to fly off to Wuxi on Sunday. We went for Transformers and my god! it was a superb show. Thumbs up! Toes up!! Best show... I was totally whelmed by the Autobots and Decepticons. And the cute yellow bumble bee... I love how Optimus Prime look.. Totally cool and grand! We had our dinner at Creations. Good food at a reasonable price. Dar gave me a surprise pressie... Another diamond ring.... Hmm, he is definitely setting himself a standard by giving me at least a diamond every year... And I'm loving it...

:: My birthday dinner by The Esplanade::

Alright.. Here's some pics of my romantic birthday dinner...

:: My Birthday ::

Today is 2nd July 2006...

Princess Athena celebrating her birthday! I'm not gonna tell you how old I am this year but I think I look younger than I seems to be and let's keep it this way... hahaha

Went for dinner at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe with Jeff... Food there is nice and sooo cheap... Worth the $$...

Prince Jim is gonna bring me to a nice little restaurant by The Esplanade later in the evening... Meanwhile, let me juz laze around...

:: The Perfect Birthday Dinner ::

It's Jim Jim's birthday... Happy Birthday My Dear!
Like I mention in my previous post, we gonna go to a secret place for dinner...
Alright... I'll let the secret out... We went to My Secret Garden... It was a lush, cosy and right place for some quiet nights out with your loved ones...

The waiter and waitress there are courteous and friendly. We ordered Cream of Carrot, it tastes delicious and was serve in a very nice bowl. Rib-eyed steak for each of us... It was done just nice, the chef obviously did not use a lot of seasoning on the steak, retaining its orginal flavour (thumbs up). We wanted some desserts and the server recommended we try the triple choc or tiramisu... I'm greedy... I want both... It was so good that I wanted more (But I'm too full)
Me and Dar enjoyed the night together thoroughly...

PS: This is the place we want to hold our ROM initially and this visit tells me that I must hold it here... =D

:: The making of Jim Jim birthday Cake ::

It's Sunday again... Had an intensive seminar for RMD yesterday... Was so bored from it... Well, enough of tat... I'm not here to whine about how boring the class was.

It was supposed to be a surprise for Dar... But since he stay over for the weekend, might as well recruit his help (Heehee)... My First Cake making experience... We had all our ingredients ready and there we are, starting our cake making session... First we try to mix the eggs and sugar together... It was my first time using an electic whisk (Gosh! It can be pretty dangerous wor!) Initially, everything was ok... But just as Dar was talking to me, I forgot that I'm holding the whisk and left the bowl... Whah!!! the mixture start to splatter around... Hahaha... (I think that's the fun part of making a cake) Start to clear the mess and continue... Finally, everything is ready... We gonna put the mixture in the oven for 30 minutes... (Pray hard the cake turns out well!)

*Ding* Finally the 30 minutes wait is over... The cake was.............. GORGEOUS! At that instant, I was so proud of myself for baking such a nice cake on my first attempt... Now it's the decorating part... Dar help out with the decor... He put lotsa and lotsa of chocolates on the cake... Ewwww... How sinful... Hahaha... Finally, we just have to put in the fridge to firm the cake and it will be ready...

Made pasta for Dar in the evening too... This is a pre-celebration of his birthday! We gonna go some place for dinner on Tuesday too (Shhh... Keep the location a secret first)

:: Sumptuous Dinner at The Paramount ::

:: Our Pre V-Day Dinner ::

It's a sunny sunny day... Went to the temple early in the morning with mommy, daddy, June June, Clarence and Dar Dar... After that, Dar still have some unfinished assignments so we went back home... Boring me continue to have my pretty princessy sleep while Dar try to complete his stuff...

Later in the evening, we went for our Pre V-Day Dinner... (Chose to have it early cos we both do not like to be those lovey dovey birds queuing up for that so called special V-Day dinner outside the restuarant and wasting our time). We went to Spizza Club Street, a nice and cosy little restaurant that is oh-so romantic with their special pizzas that are named after Italian women. We ordered Tiana pizza, Lasgana, Pompillio (Deep Fried Calamari with "Pizzaiola" Sauce) and 2 glasses of white wine.

Was so full from all the stuff so we decided to take a stroll down Clarke Quay... Managed to catch the last day of fireworks for the Chinese New Year... Here's some pictures taken using my handphone...

:: Great New Year 2006 ::

I'm back from a great New Year break. Today is 2nd January 2006. 2nd day of the new year... Happy... New year, new start. Went to Grand Plaza Park Royal with my Dar on New Year Eve. We were upgraded from normal standard room to Executive room *Cool*
Check in ard 3 and were so tired that we fell asleep... Wake up ard 5 and we went to Bugis for a short while... Dar got himself a nice shirt and I didn't get anything *Sob Sob* Anyway, we went to get a bottle of wine and food (We had dumplings, char kway teow, kfc and sushi) Enjoyed the dinner and stay in the room to watch TV... Wanted to go down to Esplanade (Since our hotel is so near) but was simply too lazy to do so... Watch the fireworks on TV... and fell asleep soon...

Check out the next day ard 1pm and we went home... Meeting Dar's parents for dinner in the evening... After dinner with them, we went shopping in Bugis *Yes, it's Bugis again* Dar bought a bag and me got myself 1 skirt, 1 pants and 1 top (All from LMG) *Best of all Dar paid for everything* hahaha *Love you lots dear*

We met up for a drink first... Went to Bugis Terra for a drink... Jeff and Steven ordered Banana with Peanut smoothie...
