Past Week...

Met up with Emily & her friends at JuJu Hokkaido Steamboat Restaurant in Paradiz last Friday. The meal was really scrumptious!!! Slurp... I had the fish as my main course... so FULL after the meal I could hardly breathe!! The concept is similar to Tao's restaurant, since they're run by the same management. It came with a starter, the main course, a special drink, the main dish, a side, as well as dessert : ) So fulfilling!! IT costs S$29 per pax but its definitely worth it! We can choose the base to be clear or spicy. Slurp...

After that, Emily & I went to Mr Bean's Cafe to have coffee and play the T-puzzle that she's created. We managed to solve 2 of the puzzles!! HOORAY!!! The puzzle is really chim!!! We had a first taste of this puzzle when we were at a hot spring resort in Hokkaido. We were really hooked on the game!! Instead of buying the puzzle, which is quite costly, we've decided to re-create it on our own :P

We only went home around 1+... and the next day, I went to meet Yuan & Xueling at 9am at the airport!!!! Got to wake up at 7am to get prepared for the meeting. Passed Yuan her souvenirs from Japan at last!!! We bought a cute Betty Boop apron for her, and FANCL cleansers : ) We had BIG BREAKFAST at T2 McDonald's.

We had initially wanted to take a 4-seater at the corner, but we saw an overturned backpack on the floor, in between of the 2 tables. Hence, we decided to take the table behind it in case someone used the backpack to reserve a table. In the end, a staff came over to tell us that its reserved. So, we moved on to the other side. To our disgust, that backpack was unclaimed and in less than 5mins, 2 police officers arrived. They took down statements from the Restaurant manager. Then, in another 5-10mins, a guy wearing a white uniform with a bulky device appeared. Its actually a BOMB DETECTOR!!!! WOW!!! So Drama!!!!

I was pretty amazed that the restaurant manager didn't evacuate us earlier. What if, it really is a bomb scare?? Hmm.... I think we would be blown to pieces by then! haha... but then again, there could be panic and stampedes! Well.... it made me reflect on the countless fire drills we've had... well... who would give a damn! Its just a drill!!! haha... but then again, I guess Singaporeans are generally quite 'bo chup'. Take the backpack in mcdonald's at T2. People just continue having their Big Breakfasts, chatting away, and even when those uniformed men were in action, they just stood from afar to catch the free show...

Then we went to Tampines Mall to shop since Xueling has a wedding to attend and need to buy some clothes for the themed wedding. She has to look for either White, Pink or Gold clothes. In the end she bought a white top, and a white skirt with orange stripes. After which we went down to Orchard. We went to Heeren first. After that we had snacks at Spinelli since we didn't eat lunch. I had my Cheesecake at last!! Slurp!!! and my sun kiss twist! : ) Lovely place to people-watch and take a rest!

After that we walked over to Ngee Ann City. Shopped a bit at Taka, then decided to move to Paragon to have an early dinner. We decided to eat at that soba place in the basement. After that, we shopped for a while before heading home around 8pm. Phew! The timing was great as the buses were not crowded at that time. There's the replay of the Singapore Idol on TV Mobile. Saw a lot of people sms-ing to support Hady...

Watched the Final Showdown on Ch 5 last night. Hady proved to be a better singer, way way better than Jonathan! haha... the more I look at Jonathan, the more he resembled this muppet from Jim Henson's muppets - Guy Smiley!! hahaha.....

Tonight is the results show... wonder who would win??
