Oh Mustafa...

This is unbelievable but I just came back from Mustafa Centre! Yes..it's that 24-hrs shopping mall down at Little India. Initially, me & Sue just thought of having supper at Newton. We haven't been to the newly renovated Newton Circus food centre so we decided to have a look. Sue ordered lotsa food, namely: sambal stingray, cockles, kailan & satay! And it's just the 2 of us...Sue is a HUGE eater for your info. :) I didn't really like the cockles though. Sue has a craving for them and she likes half-cooked ones. I didn't dare to eat too much of the bloody cockles....Haha!

After the heavy supper, I was just saying out of nowhere that maybe it'd be cool to go shopping in the wee hours. Sue was surprisingly enthusiastic about that idea & we thought of the only shopping centre that is open: Mustafa Centre! We head down & shop for...instant noodle, tidbits..groceries. There were quite a number of people for a 3am on Wednesday morning. I saw a family with their kids AND the strollers (Can't they let the kids sleep at home?!), a mom & her teenage daughter (And I wonder if it's the school holidays yet again) & some tourists. It's really like a Sunday afternoon at Jason's. Sue & I had fun going row by row of snacks...amazed by the neat stacks of tidbit & "unique" packaging of some food stuff. We must have gone crazy due to work stress...that we have to shop at 3am! Hmmm...I changed my mind a bit about Mustafa Centre though. For the better, of course. And I'll consider shopping again at 3am. :) The last time I did that was a few years back in Seoul.

Anyway, it's time for me to accompany my bed. My feet are sore from all the walking & standing. I'm doing night shift later..so I can have ample sleep! Finally!

Supper Duper!

I just came back like 20 mins ago...yes, at about 3.15 am! My colleagues & I worked fast to finish on time coz we plan to go out for supper. Wanted to go to MakanSutra at Gluttons Bay but it was packed with people. In the end, David suggested that we took a cab back to Bt Batok (where he stays) & then, he'd drove us to wherever we wanna go. We also picked Daniel up from his home at Redhill to join us before we made our way to....Jalan Kayu! The journey was fun..it's like we were having a late night drive, complaining about how work sucks & joking merrily. It's my first time eating prata at Jalan Kayu so I was rather excited. We had:

Sadiq: 1 banana prata & 1 cheese prata, with Milo Dinosaur
David: 3 cheese prata, 1 Teh Tarik
Daniel: 1 cheese prata & 1 egg prata, Teh-Cino
Myself: 1 banana prata & 1 cheese prata, with Milo Dinosaur

I had a craving for Milo Dinosaur, which is just a large glass of iced milo, with lotsa Milo powder on top. I was so bloated from the supper. Nice to drive across the expressway & Seletar Reservoir. Still crowded even at the wee hours...Hmmm~

Bad News

I looked at the sms that Superhero has sent me. And I stared in disbelief. Mathilda is out from S'pore Idol???!! What's happening?! Oh my god...How can those people be so blind..or rather...deaf? Can't they hear the good comments she got from the judges & listen how powerful her voice is? Just because she didn't get enough votes, so she's out?! Goodness...what about Mr Gomez himself? Week after week, he got the worst comments from the judges. To top it all, I bet he can't even sing a lullaby properly. Indeed, he has the looks & like what Ken said, Mr Gomez is marketable. But S'pore Idol is a SINGING competition.

If he can't sing, why must we vote for him?
Coz he's cute? Hmmm...there are thousands of cuter guys out there. Hady & Jon are cute & they sing.
Coz he's nice? Well...ALL of the contestants LOOK nice.
Coz he's popular? Then we can consider him on Cleo's Top 50 Bachelor issue or the next season of Moulmein High.

To the little girls, uncles & aunties out there: I don't hate Mr Gomez but please, I beg you, for the sake of mankind, listen...& you'll know whether Mr Gomez can be a singer or just a stage performer. Sighs...I wonder...is Singapore Idol really a singing contest? If it is...why is Mathilda booted out?

Monday Blues

I think I'm having one of those days whereby i just feel like "hibernating" & not doing anything. Absolutely nothing. Work begin to suck again, especially when the Governor is around, & the Dowager is starting to show favoritism (yet again). This is bad but I really need a break, soon! Either that, or..I better find a hobby. Besides the usual shopping & spa-ing. Sighs...

Superhero's Belated Birthday Dinner

Superhero celebrated his 24th birthday on 6th Aug & unfortunately, I was only free to treat him to dinner yesterday. I managed to pass him his present on the birthday itself. (Phew~) I guess he's wondering what to shop for at his fav place. :)

We went to catch the movie The Lake House. Gosh...it was a sweet & touching one. Hehe..Superhero was like saying it's a happy ending kinda movie & yet, I still cried. Sandra Bullock & Keanu Reeves have great on-screen chemistry. The plot is a bit duh but hmm...still touching. I just drop my common sense outside the cinema for 2 hours. :)



Superhero wants to go to Ikea to get pillows (insisted that he HAD to get pillows!) before we head down to Holland Village. I chose to bring him to Hog's Breath Cafe for some steaks...




The service is good & the ambience is there...I feel like I'm in Texas! Haha..I'm waiting for my mocktail & my prime ribs....




There you go! Natural Prime Ribs they call it. The fries are yummy & the steak is juicy. I got heavier by 300g after the dinner. So much for wanting to lose weight. :) I don't like the logo of the cafe though... tsk tsk tsk~

Going French

I suddenly feel like having French manicure & pedicure after my night shift today. So I dropped by Watson's to try the DIY French nails. The ones from Sally Hansen's look rather promising..I got one that comes with a set of: 1 bottle of top & base coat, 1 nourishing nail colour (which is a nude-like colour) & a French manicure pen! The "pen" looks & works like your regular liquid paper. But as I'm not used to it, I didn't really do a good job on my nails. Kinda distorted...sighs.

Currently, my work place has this in-house stay programme for the staff. So, it'll be my turn to stay tomorrow! I got the company of my kakis: Nickole, Liah & Tanglin. We gonna have free dinner & breakfast at the Oscar's, watch movies in the room & just hang out. Sounds exciting... :)

I'm treating Superhero to dinner this Saturday for his belated birthday. Hhmmm...where shall I take him???
