High Street Label H&M

Sunday is always a day full of shopping and eating out. Singapore is a country full of  gastronomic delights. But recently it is a shopping haven, we are spoilt for choice. There are just too many high street fashion outlets, which are all my favourite! Zara, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Warehouse, Mango, Dorothy Perkins, and newly launched H&M. It was crazy, this newly opened Swedish fashion outlet, draws huge crowd to its 3- level premises. I bought 6 items from H&M, none of them were tried out in fitting room. The queue was just too long, even people were snaking in a beeline to pay for their goods.

I realize, I started to influence and expose my daughter to the world of fashion industry out there, telling her that girls' wardrobe should not only consists of one colour. It should be colourful with edgy designs to play around with mix and match. Just like our life, to make it more interesting and not dull. At first she does not accept my idea. She only loves pink and red. But now she is more willing to give green and blue a try, as you can see from the picture below.

And below are my 'best catch' of the day! H&M is just too easy on the pocket, and adventurous on both its design and color. I HEART H&M!

A day of Japanese and sumptuous steamboat

 Its Saturday again, and yes I LOVE weekends. Decked out in leopard-print mini tube and heels, I mean a matching pair of leopard print heels....LOL, spent an evening around Novena. We dined at Matsuo Sushi. I had assorted nigiri and maki sushi, tried to reserve my stomach for next steamboat gathering at a friend's house.

At Matsuo, waiting for my food.

Its always so blissful to eat my favourite sushi or sashimi...this platter was all mine! YUM! YUM!

Daughter's favourite tamago sushi

Kiddies' teriyaki salmon

At HT's place, having steamboat with dual soup base, pork soup bone stock and sze chuan 'ma la'. I love the sze chuan soup base, very hot spicyly 'shiok', with spread of thinly sliced beef, seafood, and greens. My friend served his guests very well. The super warm and friendly treat, make us all felt like being at HOME.

This chicken was said imported from a very famous part of China, but I forgot the name of the place. :)

Happily enjoyed the spread on the table with bunch of friendly friends...we had a long night chit-chatting away, drinking beer, chinese tea and fruits to end the night.

HT and his lovely wife....they are such a good hosts giving us the most splendid hospitality. Thank you, HT for spending hours to get the soup base cooked to perfection and bought the freshest ingredients for the night's sumptuous dinner.

Spring in Melbourne

As you can see from the picture above, my ready packed luggage and photography necessities for 7 days trip in Melbourne. My stuffs have always been vacuum packed, to save the space for other unnecessary/rubbish which I have to stuff into the 'not so spacious' luggage of mine! It gives me tremendous headache when doing the packing, as I always end up chucking out half of the irrelevant items packed because I can't do with the zipping up!

In 3 days time, I will be seeking fun, adventurous holiday in the Land of Koalas, together with my family. It has been AGES since the last time we traveled together. My sis and bro finally manage to arrange their schedule in order to realize this meaningful family trip.

However I find the lack of excitement, maybe because I'm the planner for the whole trip?? or it is just simply because I had been there once during my honeymoon. Normally, I will plan my outfits with matching accessories, for entire trip whenever I go for holidays. But this time round, I started packing my luggage only 2 days from now. Its more like grab and pack straight away. So I might be having major fashion faux pas!

Anyway I am more concerned if the plan will stick to what it has planned. Hopefully everything is smooth sailing. Will try to pen down a simple travelogue after coming back from Melbourne trip.

Bye!

I love dressing up!

From time to time, I will get a nag over my ears, be it my mum or hubby, as my clothes almost reaching a truckload. I have even occupied the space in the wardrobe which was not belongs to me.

Its a sad thing that I do not dress up for work. My job nature does not require one to do so. Hence, I have the urge to doll up on weekends! Hahaaa...You guys must be laughing hard. But hey, its true!



A full body shot, taken in a Haagen Dazs shop. Heart the spring look feel of my harem pants, paired with a simple tube top and wedges.

Thats all for the random snap shots....adios!



I HEART the SMURFS

 Last Sunday, we enjoyed The Smurfs 3D show in Golden Village. Not only kids will love the blue thingy cutie smurfs, adults will sure fall in love with them too. Whole day, I just kept humming to myself ' La, la, la, la, la, la....Sing a happy song'. Yes...this definitely will bring up your mood.

The Smurfs is not only entertaining, and hilarious, but it gives opportunity to me to reflect. Sometimes we really have to slow down our fast pace in search of work life balance, cherish the ones that around you. Stop to steal a look of fascinating scenery or smell a rose perhaps.

Below was a picture of us wearing our favourite SMURFIE shirts for the show. Some moviegoers brought along their mini smurf plush toys. This showed how crazy we were, falling in love with these blue little creatures.

Introduce you the AOBA Hokkaido Ramen. Too bad all orders for MISO soup base were out of order. Thus we ordered ramen with shio (Japanese salty) soup base. Honestly, who the hell will slurp down such almighty saltyyyy soup!  

The side dish number #1: seasoned octopus

The side dish number #2: capelin tempura

Sorry guys, I forgot the name of this ramen due to its saltiness, I can go bonker! This ramen was hubby's order.

And my kids and me had same order...the pig's cheek ramen. The fatty layer of succulent cheek were not that bad after all. But the boiled egg was a total disappointment. I didn't get my half runny yolk like I normally will expect when Im having ramen.

 Side dish number #3: Cheezy mentaiko (cod roe) toufu

 Overall, I won't give any rating yet for AOBA ramen. I must have a try on their miso broth ramen before I make any final judgement. Hopefully the salt level of their miso ramen will not spike up my blood pressure...in my next visit!
