:: 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).

:: Nikon D60 ::

Jim Jim got himself an expensive toy - Nikon D60

I would say this is a pretty good toy for entry level. He is so into photography lately. I'm going to be his model (even if he doesn't ask me to)... hahahaha

:: Nostalgic ::

:: Absence makes the heart fonder ::

My dar is out-station again. It's barely a month since he came back from his business trip and now he's away again. Anyway, I've got lotsa things to keep me occupied during his absence. But just that he is not around, makes may heart grow fonder.....

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 15 ::

Today is the day!!! Yipee!!!

I'm going to pick Jim Jim up...

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 14 ::

Just 1 more day and my Jim Jim is flying back. woohoo...

Went DFS earlier with Calisa and Kristie, mad sale going on! I was so tempted to get this new Burberry bag but it cost $2,300! Nah, I'm still going for my LV.

Calisa got a coin pouch from Coach as a b'dae present for someone and Kristie was literally shopping like a tai-tai. She got herself a Coach full leather bag (but that was a good buy, orginally $800++ and after all the discount, she paid only $300++), a Coach wristlet for only $70++ and a Salvatore Ferragamo wallet for $300++ too.

Can't you see I'm trying very hard to resist the temptation..
I'm going DFS with Mommy again on Monday, maybe I'll get something?

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 13 ::

Still seems a long way to go though it's only another 3 more days.

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 12 ::

I'm losing count. This trip seems too long.

Counting down as hard as I can: 4 days

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 11 ::

Jim Jim received my SURPRISE and he LIKES it!! Woohoo... Actually it is a heart-warming card send from the bottom of my heart. The card flew miles and miles and finally reach him after 5 days. I'm glad that I managed to spring him this surprise.

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 09 ::

I seriously do not understand the meaning of coming to work on alternate saturday. You see, you spend 45mins to an hour journey just to reach the office and having to just surf the net, read the newspapers, eat your brunch and it's already 1pm. Anyway, I went to FF today and spend a good 1.5 hours giving my body the much needed work out. Feel so sluggish the whole week and that 1.5 hours prove to a good workout as my body is aching terribly.

Jim Jim is coming home soon.

Counting down the days - 6 days

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 05 ::

5th day without Jim Jim, I've more or less got used to it. Everyday life for me is work work and more work. I'm drowning under my pile of work everyday. Endless meetings, un-finished work. As I'm typing this, I'm still in the office...

I've got Jim Jim a SURPRISE today. Let's see how he'll react.

Counting down the days - 10

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 04 ::

Start of a new working week. I've got the "You got a problem" look on my face but who cares. It's only Day 04! Time is passing way to slow. Jim Jim, come back soon...

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 03 ::

It's been 3 days since Jim Jim left for China. Boring boring weekend. Jim Jim called this morning while I am still enjoying my beauty sleep. Briefly chat with him cos he need to go for breakfast and will be going to Dream Island (somewhat like our Sim Lim Sq and Funan Centre). I'm going to bring Jand Jand for her grooming session later on, maybe she's going to transform into a piglet later?

UPDATES:
Jand Jand did not transform into a piglet. The groomer says her hair is too short and shouldn't shave down. Anyway she looks way too adorable earlier at the grooming centre. People commented: "look at that chihuahua, so cute!" NO! She's not a chihuahua, she is a MINIATURE PINSCHER! Look at my lips and repeat after me MINI PINSCHER! Stop saying she's a chihuahua, she looks way cuter then chihuahua alright.

Jim Jim called again just now and told me he have got a surprise for me. I wonder what it is???

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 02 ::

Boring Saturday.. It's my shift for the week again and well, I seriously think it is a waste of time to come in on Saturday. Anyway I'm going for my manicure session later. I miss my Jim Jim...

:: Life without Jim Jim - Day 01 ::

Sunny Day

Jim Jim flew off early this morning. Didn't get to send him off cos his flight is 7.45am, and I've got to work today. Anyway, this is his 4th time to Wuxi, China but I still feel sad and lonely, especially since there'll be 2 weekends without him.

He finally arrived in China at 4 plus and poor him have to go straight to the office.
Anyway, he says he'll be calling me later... No plans for the night, going home straight...

:: Our V-Day ::

It's Valentine's Day...

Received a surprise from Dar dar... He send me a bouquet of flowers to my office... Though there are some hiccups with the flowers (It was supposed to be pink tulip sent to me, but it turned out to be champagne rose... Nonetheless, the mistake was rectify), I still love it... Thanks Dar... For giving me such a sweet surprise...

Later in the evening, we went to Marina Bay enjoying our take-away dinner (Carls Junior, Yummy yummy)and also to enjoy the serenade night view of Singapore...

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*
