My only purchase for this mth!

Yes.. read on my blogpost for Sunday (30/07) to koe wat is my only purchase for this mth! And this is a miracle lah, becos I seldom 1 mth buy so little things =)

This is a post of more photos-cum-blogposts.. Photos are taken with my Canon Ixus 60.

Sunday (30/07/06)

Woke up this morning and continued on with my blogging. Then after which, its a bathe for me and then my parents and I went to the old folk's home to see my grandma (this is a fortnightly affair)..

After tat, went to Starbucks @ Century Square, Tampines, to grab sumthing to eat as I was kinda hungry.. So I grabbed a cake and a drink which was absolutely fabulous lah!

* Photo on left: The delicious cake from Starbucks. They called it the Strawberry Indulgence. Sounds so indulging rite? Ha..
It looks and taste real yummy lah! The cream and strawberries really blanded really well with the cake. This cake is not too sweet as well, so I guess its tooth and calorie-friendly? Of course, if you dun mind the whipped cream, this is really the must-eat cake this summer season at Starbucks!
So wat are u waiting for? Get it only for $5.60 a piece at all Starbucks outlets! =).. Go try go try! The food guru won't be wrong one! =)


Not only did I have a cake, I also had coffee which is always my fave and must-have at Starbucks.. the Frappucino series!.. So here is their new drink...

* Photo on right: As mention above, how can you complete your meal at Starbucks without having a dose of coffee? Do it right here with a Hazelnut Java Chip Frappucino..
Of course, I forgot to ask them to not put whipped cream becos I dun wanna put on excess weight.. but after I taste it, it doesnt taste so bad after all, probably is becos I didnt take whipped cream for a long time liaox.. but oh well.. the chocolate syrup drizzled onto the whipped cream, complete with the world's best coffee drink, wat more can u ask? Absolutely nothing! Just plain pleasure! =)


Becos I have decided tat today I wanna get a sunglass/shade after I was inspired by my beach photo and how good-looking I look with a sunglass (I koe I'm thick-skinned but wat to do?) =)...

Sidney called me this morning to complain abt how he screwed up his driving and stuff.. haix.. usual stuff la bro.. ha.. =P.. Then I told him my intention of getting a sunglass and stuff.. and juz before he puts down the phone, he advised me on certain tips of choosing sunglasses, esp. how I look with the sunglass, as well as the purpose of the sunglass so no point buying cheap ones.. Come to think of it, I actually tot thru his comments! Thanx bro =)

* Photo on left: This is my new RayBen sunglass! Cool rite? Original price is $178, but the store (YES! Eyewear @ Suntec City Shopping Mall) has a 20% discount, which after discount, it costs me $142.40.. but becos I koe the Operation Manager of the store, she gave me a further discount.. so in the end, I actually paid only $128.. and if you count carefully, its actually a whopping 28% discount! =)

So after seeing my grandma, I was searching almost every optical shop in the civinity to see whether they got cheap shades/sunglass but it was to no avail. In the end, I ended up in the store which I had in mind when I first left my house this morning.

To cut the long story short, I got the sunglass after like 30 minutes in the store; becos I was like choosy abt this and tat, becos I'm paying for it and I'm quite particular abt how I look with the sunglass and stuff.. I think the staff there also a bit impatient.. After seeing so many pairs of sunglasses, the salesperson recommend me to "RayBen" brand of sunglasses.. I heard of this brand, but I tot it is those really old-fashioned ones.. Surprisingly, the range which I saw was quite of updated and cool.. so ya..

So in the end, I was contemplating between 2 choices.. one with a black surface, whilst the other is the tinted surface (ie, the one I bought lah!).. after much consideration, I decided to get the tinted surface one, simply becos the lens is smaller than the black surface one! I dun like specs with the super big lens.. so ya..
Oh! Prior to buying, I actually ask the salesperson wherther there is the tinted blue specs but with the same tupe of RayBen pattern? But then she gave me a sunglass which was the one which I always wanted, but it was too expensive. It was the perfect sunglass tat I can ever look for.. Its actually Oakley's brand.. she told me the following:
"I think I koe and got wat u looking for and this is it, but the price is not very nice".. When she said tat, I was expecting Oakley's and true enuf, this was it lah! The price, a whopping $338 before a 15% discount.. Expensive rite?? Haix.. too bad lah =(.. one muz be contented..

After which, my parents met A. Agnes Tan (frm my church) for dinner.. We went to Marina Square FoodCourt to have our dinner.. It was a sumptuous spread and of course, how could I forget to order my favourite "Curry Noodles".. its the best tat Marina Square FoodCourt can offer! man.. I'm drooling already!

* Photo on right: This is the curry noodle tat its world best! You can only find this at Marina Square FoodCourt! I juz love this! This is a must-eat for me @ Marina Square FoodCourt! Its delicious beyond words lah!

Then A. Agnes was like near the end of the dineer, she talk abt her woes/worries of worship in church! I actually shared with her my experience and stuff, and gave her some advice.. so ya.. =)

By the time I was back, I was frantically taking photo of my precious sunglasses, and then bathe and prepare my stuff for tml and stuff.. My sis was using the computer for her school work, so I had to wait.. After finish packing and bathing, it was already 2330, but she was still using!

My intention was juz to blog today's entry, but I realise tat it was too late and moreover, I had duty tml, so ya.. so didnt blog in the end, and after which, I was so sleepy tat I juz slept my way thru juz like tat! Am I tired or wat?

Monday (31/07/06)

This morning woke up with a bit of reluctance, becos the weather was simply too cool to sleep in.. And juz as I was abt to go out, it rained! I was like WTH! haix.. but at least, the weather is cooling lah..

When I reached camp, I initially do not have any duty, but one of my friends said he felt sick-ish (if there's such a word), so I agreed to do his first duty!.. and I actually dun mind, becos the weather is so cooling lah! This is the first time tat I did not really sweat during the duty! So frm here, you can see how good the weather is lah! =)

Tuesday (01/08/06)

Yizhou changed with me his dismounting duty.. I didnt mind and I gladly changed with him, becos its table duty and its my fave lah! In fact, I juz love dismounting table! So fun!! =).. People in my flight may think I siao or sumthing, in fact I think I am too, but then, I juz dun koe why, I like dismounting table duty.. hmm.. an admin person perhaps? =)

Came home and ate lunch.. then went to Upper Paya Lebar Road to buy dinner for mum.. Bought Cantonese Roast meats (ie, duck, char siew & spare ribs!).. Its yummy I tell you! Simply yum-mi-li-cious!! Oh.. they got a website.. click here if your interested..
