The Theory of Confusion

Angeline was intrigued by her boss's invitation to try the 'Confused Pau'. Indeed, she had a very 'confused' look on her face after taking a bite of the 'pau'. It was a kind of 'huat kuah' with salted egg filling in it. Angeline was thinking how not to get confused with a mix of savory and sweet taste in one bite. Should Angeline praise or condemn the chef?










P/S: Angeline had a lot of other tim sum.
P/P/S: Angeline wants to go there again but she needs to master how to do parallel parking.

The 1 CNY Episode..........

.......... took place at Jo's house on 20th February 2010. Angeline even called Jo a day earlier to tell her that she would be bringing Yu Sheng for the gathering and she would most probably arrive at around 1pm since the door would be open after that time. With a laugh, Jo replied, "See at 3pm tomorrow." and she hung up the phone.

On the day itself, Angeline knocked on Jo's door at 5 minutes after 1pm exactly. That is indeed an improvement! Wahahahahahaha!

4 hours of non-stop gossip and laughter was super therapeutic for Angeline. On top of that, Angeline left with a fat tummy. This must be only one and bad news!














P/S: Angeline bought the Yu Sheng from Sakae and it was good.
P/P/S: Angeline thought of buying the cupcakes from My Bread by Crystal Jade.

The Art of Gaining..........

.......... weight is indeed Angeline's forte. For no reason, Angeline loves to eat and she is not able to stop eating even though she is full, especially when it comes to sweet treats like ice-cream. After a heavy meal of BBQ and steamboat at Yuki Yaki, Angeline and company went to savour the goodness of Andersen's Ice-Cream immediately.

Angeline is beginning to wonder if Mr. and Mrs. Siew are good company. Angeline do not want to become fat fat.












P/S: Angeline has NOT stopped eating since the first day of Chinese New Year.
P/P/S: Angeline has NOT stepped onto the weighing machine since then.

Before it started, it was over.

As Valentine's Day fell on the same day at Chinese New Year, Angeline and Albert did not get to really celebrate it. Thus, plans were made before the actual day itself. To Angeline's delight, Albert did make the effort to surprise her with a bouquet of roses. To Albert's delight, Angeline bought him a new watch and brought it over to his workplace when he had to do overtime.

On the day itself when the all the visiting was done, Angeline and Albert went over to Mc Cafe at Great World City for coffee, got bored and decided to call the gang for mahjong. That was how they decided to celebrate Valentine's day eventually. Haha!



















P/S: Angeline did receive something else for Valentine's Day.
P/P/S: The bouquet was given on Friday when Angeline picked Albert at the Lobby.

The Start

The last day of Angeline's long leave is also the start of a new hunt. Angeline and Albert have been on the hunt for the past week. They have been to Singapore Botanic Gardens, Fort Canning, Fairmont, Swiss Cafe and many others are still on their list. Those venues that are to Angeline's liking are not to the likes of Albert's pocket. This is indeed tricky and time is not with them with the overload at work.

As noted, the first stop is Singapore Botanic Gardens. Alan and Hazel were very kind to accompany them on the site visit. After walking around the ENTIRE park for 1 hour, the 2 couples decided to hitch a ride on the buggy back to the car park. Upon switching on the air-con when they got into the car, Hazel praised the inventor of air-con and everyone applauded.








P/S: Angeline and Albert decided that Singapore Botanic Gardens is not going to be the venue.

Before 2010

came knocking on Angeline's door, Angeline went to knock on the doors of IndoChine (Club Street) and had a taste of Asian Fine Dinning. All Angeline could say was the bonus came in time to pay for the dinner!

The bonus also came at the right time to pay for Angeline's shopping after dinner. Thankfully, the desserts at Ji De Chi was sponsored by Albert! Well, it could have been a better idea for Albert to sponsor Angeline's shopping actually. Is it too late to regret?
























P/S: Angeline, Albert, Alan and Hazel have a common New Year's resolution.
P/P/S: So, Angeline did go to Ji De Chi after all.

A Christmas without Snow

For the past 26 years of Angeline's life, she never had a Christmas with snow. In 2009, Christmas was celebrated with smoke. The clique decided to organise a BBQ Christmas Gathering at Alan's mother's house, as she was out of town on the eve itself. That was quite an idea. Think about it!

Angeline had her last BBQ when she was 20 years old. Freaking 6 years apart could do lots of damage, for example, the fire got started after 1 hour odd (with Angeline's contribution too). If you are thinking of the preparation work, the clique was smart enough to order EVERYTHING from BBQ Express, which includes mesh wire, tongs, paper plates, plastic forks, plastic spoons, butter, fire starters, ice, drinks, fried rice, fried bee hoon, chicken wings, chicken cutlet, hot dogs, crab sticks, marshmallows and more. Angeline thought it was rather a good bargain for only about S$180.00, which came up to about S$20.00 per person. Angeline was just thinking if they could help to start the fire too, she would not mind paying for the charges too.

In a nutshell, the BBQ Christmas Gathering 2009 was a BLAST!

































P/S: Angeline opts for steamboat for Christmas in 2010.
P/P/S: Christmas exchange took place at Alan's house.
P/P/P/S: Not forgetting Wii and Mahjong too!
