I love Berries!

Don't really fancy waffles as much.

If we go marche, R4 and i will have that I wanna eat crepes and he wanna eat waffles argument. (In the end, it is who is willing to walk to buy will get to choose. Heeeheeheee)

Something made me change my mind.

Check out this Ice cream waffles from Bakerzinn.



I became a waffles convert after eating this.
The Strawberry sauce is nice, sweet with a tinge of sourness in it.
And it is not vanilla or strawberry icecream.
It is cheese ice cream! Tasted like cold cheesecake.
The portion is just nice.
Not to much too make you feel yucky.

Yumz....

Must go back to try this weekend.

Hehehhehehheheheheheheheheeeeeee :op

Was packing my stuff when i chance upon my old skipper doll's dress.

It fits BoO bOo perfectly!


BoObOo: Wahhhhh... Vintage dress arhhh.....

Come to think of it, the dress is really vintage.
I got it together with my skipper doll when i was about 7 yrs old ......

*Doing some mental calculation*

This dress is about 20 years old!

:op

Oh yah!

Another happy news is that i won the CWC lottery for the Black Berry Bush!!!

I feel so lucky! I feel so happy!


Check her out! Isn't she cute!!

The best part is i sent in postcards with both R4 and my details (being a bit kiasu). Heeeheeheeee....

When R4 recieved the email telling that he won the lottery, he called me over with this smirk look on his face.

R4: Eh... What is this?
San-d: Huh? * took awhile to realised it is the notification email* Wahhh!!!!! I got it!!! I got it!!! Wahhh!!! I thought i'll never get it!!! Wahhh!!! You are lucky R4! So lucky!! So lucky!!!

*Screaming and jumping around*

But i was brought back to earth when i accidently stepped on R4's feet.

He gave me a punch on my arm. *OoOUuucCHhhh*

R4: Are you crazy! Painful you know! Fat like whale still wanna jump around! Step on my feet somemore!!!
San-d: SO so so so Sorry, i'm just toooo happy.
R4: If you are going to behave like this then i will delete this email.
San-d: Ok, i will behave myself. *act goody goody*
R4: And you gotta give me $50 for this email if not i will delete. hehehhehehehe. *smirks*
San-d: * Blackmail Alert* Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the end, after negotiating with him so long, i managed to get the notification email with no hidden agenda.

*Wipes forehead*

After which, when i log on to my gmail, i realised that i too have won the Lottery!

Which means i can buy 2 Black Berry Bush!

Yippee!!!Not only Lucky R4! San-d is very lucky too!

R4: Maybe no one send the postcard. Hahahahahhaa. Thats why you get the chance.

Stupid R4.

Oh well, Now i can open one to play and another one to keep!

Yeah!!!!!!!! * happiness +++++*

But....

It also means my bank account not very happy.

:op

Butt Ache

San-d: Bored.... sian....
Ser: Go blog la.
San-d: I'll try.

I guess one of the reasons why i never blog so often is my butt aches from sitting down too long.

Sigh.

Asked the Dr if there is any painkillers for it, she says Panadol as i am pregnant.

Duh.

Like that i also can be Dr.

Wahahahhahahahahaha.

I'll try to blog more tomorrow.

Got tons to talk about.

Better blog it down before i forget.

Pregnancy makes me a scatterbrain ( and also looking more and more like a whale.)

Sigh.

Just not his day.

Read about this cafe called "Tung Siu Cafe" in Cleo mag which serves HongKong Cafe like style food and i remembered seeing it on some food variety show on channel U.

Apparently this cafe has about 300 different foods on the menu.

*yumz*

Anyway, bugged R4 to bring me there and enroute we picked ser up.

It is so difficult to choose wat to eat!! So many choices! Ranging from mee to baked rice to pasta to dim sum etcetc.

We were tickled by the lingo used on the menu.

YCK? Yio chu kang? No ! It stands for Yao cha kwei (fried dough fritters).

CCF? Congestive Cardiac Failure? No! Chee Cheong Fun!

Wahahahahhahahahahahaha

The menu looks kinda weird with CCF and luncheon meat, CCF with sunset egg etcetc...

:op

We ordered:

Starters: French fries (with mayo and tomato ketcup) Yumz!
Food: Kimchi noodles with luncheon meat and sunset egg (ser and me) , Nissin noodles with scallop dumpling and sunset egg (R4)
Drinks: Ice tea with chinchow- wierd but he like(R4) , Iced lemon tea(me), chrysanthemum tea (ser) and the chrysanthemum tea comes in a cute jug in which you can see all the chrysanthemum!
Dessert: Mango and pomelo ice (me), Mango pudding (ser), sesame paste (R4)

Ser and i had a great time there.

The food we ordered turns out great but R4 claims his food sucks.

Haahahahahhahahahaha.

He say his mee too bland, his dessert watery etcetc.

R4= super upset+++

This always happen to him. I also dunno why. With 300 stuff to choose from the menu, he managed to choose the sucky farky one.

*sniggers*


Check out our desserts!


Ser's pudding and my pomelo mango ice.


R4's Sesame paste - or sesame broth since it is so watery.
Wahahahhahahahahaha


R4: *mumbling* Kanasai.Stupid sesame paste, so watery, paste my head, stupid stupid.

Ser and i was saying about going back next saturday to try out other stuff and we cannot order the same food that we ordered this round.

R4 claims he is not going back there EVER AGAIN!

We'll see about that.

:op

Gimme Lenny!!

Saw this with Ser at Anya Hindmarch Yesterday.


Super Kawaii okie!!

Ser and me went crazy in the shop. Almost wanted to whip out the plastics to stop our craziness but the price tag stopped us from whipping out the plastics.

Lenny the messenger bag coz $512 and Lenny the tote bag cost $515.

*faintz*

I cannot imagine what will R4 face be if he know i spurlge $500 on a bag.

ButAnya Hindmarch bags have really nice furnishing and i feel its really worth the money.

Funny how i won't think twice when buying blythes but think for days when buying stuff like bags.

R4: So simple, Coz you are not a BAG person.

Guess i am a TOY person after all.


Besides Lenny, there is also Hue-y. I like Hue-y too coz he has this " bah, i don't give a damn face".

Heeheheeehehhehehehehhehee.

It is not helping when the boutique assistant told Ser and me that the lenny messenger bag left 2 pieces only......

Sigh......




Also, check out this Blythe doll. It is the CWC exclusive Black Berry collection.
So kawaiii!!! She has 3 outfits, Little red riding hood, big bad wolf and granny. It has only 50 pieces alloacted to asia(besides jap and HK) , aust and NZ and you have to win by "lottery" to get the right to purchase it!

Decided to send some postcards to try my luck !

Keeping my fingers crossed! :op

Blythe-ing is Therapeutic.

Been reading up and trying some DIYing on Boo.

Think i suck at it.

Hahahhahahahahahhahaa.

But it is nevertheless a fun experience.

I remember i chopped off one poor barbie's hair long time ago when i was very young.

I am determined not to do it again.

*laugh nervously*

I don't dare to do much at first, just cut her hair from knee length to butt length so that it is easier to comb and maintain her.


Morning Glory BoO!



Boo: So boring......


Boo: Head too heavy. Must lie down.

Haahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahaha......

Then i got a little more adventurous and decide to cut her hair even more.


To cut or not to cut..... Hmmmm........

A few smses later .....


Heeheeeheeeheeheee.

It is damn difficult to cut her hair!
The end result is not what i expected but i think with a little styling and the right clothes, Boo will look fine!


Found a hair band to keep her hair down for the moment.
So that it'll not be too puffy.


She looks a little boyish in this picture..... oh ya, i removed her greenish eyeshadow.
She looked cuter now. :o)


Presenting Sun Wu Kong BLYTHE version. Sun BoO BoO?
wahahahhahahahahahaha


Sun BoO BoO: Thought they are sending a horse to accompany my master?
Woofy: Budget cut lah. So they send Dog lah.

:oP

Me and my Boo!

Finally gotten a Blythe to "play". I just can't bear to open the rest.

So i was surfing on yahoo and saw an opened Ashton Drake Replica Blythe for sale at a reasonable price.

i smsed the seller and got her! Heeeheeheeheeheee.

She's in her 1970s frock so i went to get her some clothes to update her to a modern look.

Presenting.....


My first Playable Blythe - Boo!

I am really at a loss what to name her.

Via Msn:

San-d: Can you help me think of a name for my blythe?
Xing: How about Boo?
San-d: Oh yah! Boo! Why didn't i think of it?


Close up of Boo.

Think my next project probably is to change her hairstyle and her eye shadow color. Looks a bit too 70s.

Went out with Avia and Bb Rayner today.

Rayner is so cute, he wanted us to call him "KorKor"(big brother) and will only respond if we do. (Coz he has a younger brother- Caleb) If not you call him rayner, he will go" kor kor, kor kor!!"

Whahahahahahhahaha.


Check out "Korkor" stunned look when i snapped a candid shot of him.


Rayner and me. He looked so Kawaii!


We ordered chocolate fondue and the naughty boy keep wanting to blow out the tiny candle. Look at his earnest look aiming the candle. :o)



This is him attempting to kiss the strawberries.


Wahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha!!!!! Can you see my eyes??


Took this shot of him by the taka's fountain.
Doesn't he look Kawaii?
Wonder how many hearts this kawaii young boy gonna break when he grows up. hehehehehehheheee.

P/s: 3 Person asked me about my tokidoki bag today while in town. They all claimed they can't get theirs and its totally sold out! I went to the lesportsac counter to check it out and i realised that it is indeed sold out! Suddenly i feel sooooooo lucky and my tokidoki is so precious.

:oP

***
R4 is my TokiDoki!!!


First saw this in some magazine and told myself i must so get this!!!

It is a limited edition TokiDoki LeSportSac bag!
Toy maker Toy2R's collaboration with LeSportSac.
This bag is said to be the fusion of fashion, lifestyle, art, and culture.
It is totally SOLD OUT In Japan and USA when it first launched.
Even now, it is a very sought-after bag!
Featured in Vogue (US and UK), Marie Claire (UK).
This is like sooooooooo cooolllll!!!!!!

But....

Limited Edition = Expensive.

Hhahahahahahahahaa

Sure one. In the first place, LeSportSac is not very cheap either.

It was out last month, but i was so preocciped i totally forgot about it till i chanced upon it in last week's urban paper then i remembered!

I am so worried it would be sold out. But don't know why i am super forgetful and i kept forgetting to check it out at the LeSportSac counters!

Today, after R4 tortured me by bringing me to see blythe dolls but refusing to buy me any (or even let me buy any ), i dragged him to Takashimaya's LesportSac counter.

R4: See what toki doki?
San-d: The bag i told ya about la.
R4: Please la, don't buy all this limited edition thing. Don't suit you. You see your face. Maybe you are the TokiDoki.
San-d: Grrrrrr.......

In the end.....


There is a 15% off all regular priced item and this is one of the last few pieces left!

San-d: *act sad, throw in puppy doed eyes and all* Please la, please la, buy for me la. ( Coz quite broke from buying all the BLYTHES)

R4: *can see heart soften a bit...*After discount how much?
R4: *after telling him the price after discount* You sure you want?
San-d: *Nod head earnestly*
R4: Ok la. Faster go pay before i change my mind.

Whahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha.

I cannot sleep tonight.

San-d is a happy gal!

P/s: tokidoki means “sometimes” in Japanese, It was chosen because
“everyone waits for moments that change one’s destiny.
tokidoki is the hope, the hidden energy everyone has inside."

R4 is truly my TokiDoki! :oP

***
It is just like any other day.

Today is valentine's day and people kept asking me what did R4 buy for me? Where we go celebrate etc.

Sad to disappoint.

It is just another day.

I guess to some couples it is a big thing, but it kinda fizzles out for us.

Today is medical appointment day for woofie and me and woofie is growing well . :o)

Then i met ser and we had a nice tea before heading home early trying to beat the going home crowd.Another reason is Ser wanna go home early coz she's tired (morning shift) and she low morale+++ (roy's in US).

*sayangs ser*

wahahhahahahahahaahahahahha.

The amount of people selling roses are scary!! We walked down from wheelock to Taka and its like every 5m there are people selling roses! From students selling for charity to some aunties selling to make a quick buck.

Wahahahahaha.

Conjured a Valentine day special Dinner for the already so tired and poor thing r4 ( who has range training today).


Starter: Salad with japanese dressing ( from mos burger la. hahahaha)
Main Course: Honey Glazed Chicken ( From cold storage, fries from mos burger, wahahhahah)
Drink: Big mug of Ice cold H2O.( Weather hot la. Whahahahah)


R4: Wah so good arh.... Got Valentine day dinner for me. *smirks*


R4: Wahhhhh sooooooo fulllllll!!!!
Airle: *aiming the chicken* wahhhh, you don't want to eat ,gimme ley...


Dessert: Blackforest cake - R4's Fav. ( From bakerzin- got liqour one , yucks)

As for me? I ate quite full when i was with ser, so i just had a salad. :o)

R4 bought me a Blythe Photo book (Blythe's my latest obession) as Valentine day present.
I didn't get him anything coz he forbid me to. He claims i waste money by buying rubbish for him.

Sigh. (hence the dinner to make up for it.)

The story is that i keep bugging him to buy a Blythe doll for me. But seeing the price of the dolls, i decided to spare him the heartache.

*At Kinokuniya*


San-d: *passed him the blythe book * I want this book, can buy for me?
R4: I thought you want blythe doll?
San-d: The doll so ex, you sure heartache like siao. Buy this book, inside got so many blythes, some more all wear nice nice one. More value for money la.
R4: *turns book and see the price* Wah, Ok la.
San-d: *happy* Yeah!!!

*Few hours later*

I really regret i never buy the blythe doll.

Whahahahahahahahaa.

I even dreamt of it.

Hence the start of the obession.

I bought 9 Blythe dolls in a matter of 3 days.

Don't ask me what happened. I just gone crazy. The shopaholic in me went crazy.



The damage done......

Now i feel so guilty. Maybe i should lessen my gulit by selling them back on ebay.

Whahahahahhahah.

We are going to the ZoO zOo ZoO!

Yesterday was my unit's family day and its being held at the zoo!

Come to think of it, its been a while ( i think more than 10 years!) since i last went to the zoo. Its really clean and pretty! Was pretty excited. Wanted to walk round the zoo but since we are the organising committee, we gotta make sure event is running smoothly so can't really enjoy the exhibits.

After the event, wanted to meet ser in town to chill. However, R4 surprised me by saying he is coming down the zoo to find me and will walk with me to see the exhibits!

San-d = happy +++++++

hehehehheheheheee.

And the fact that he is in his vest and slacks ( cos he came down from training and has no cv with him) makes me feel that for once he is willing to do something for me.

:o)

Let the pictures do the talking!!


This Siemang(can't remember the exact spelling) is actually posing for me! SO cute! i was trying to take a picture of him then he suddenly swing in front of me and stopped!
Photogenic monkey!


Posing with sea otter exhibits (fake ones),the real ones are sleeping in the enclosure behind me zzzzzz......


Can you spot the polar bear?? (hint: beside the rock)

San-d: Where is the polar bear??
R4: Can't you see?
San-d: *shakes head* No!
R4: See carefully......

At that point i suddenly saw the yellowish rock don't look so much like a rock
hahahahahhahaha...


Polar bear cooling off.


Grrrrr!!!! Bite you all arrhhh!!!!


This blue bird just stopped in my tracks and opened it's wings. I don't know what to do so i took a picture of it. Whahahahahah Check out it's red eyes! What a contrast to its feathers' blue!


Snapped a close up of this beautiful butterfly at the fragile forest. The fragile forest is a mock up of a rainforest habitat.


Rhinos and their big BUTTS!


Probiscus Monkeys scratching each other backs.


Baboons and their famous red Butts!



These 2 penguins are so cute!!! The rest of the penguins are like oblivious to the people looking at them except these 2! They are looking at us looking at them.


Penguin: What are you looking at??


King of the forest taking 40 winks.



I love the WHITE TIGER! So beautiful! Too bad they are facing extinction. Do you know that there are only 7000 tigers (white or yellow or watever color) left in the world? Sometimes i wonder will there be any tigers left in the next 20 years.


San-d: Wahhh! Giraffe!
R4: ........ never see giraffe before huh?
San-d: I want to take photo!
R4: You think you tourist huh!


Can you spot the difference?


The only shot i managed to get of R4 and me. He claims he is not properly attired hence no photos of him! Whahahahahhaahaha.

As we are waiting for cab.....

R4: Wah... not bad huh.
San-d: *looking at him puzzled*
R4: Bb haven't come out, today she go to zoo already. Next time no need to bring her here already.
San-d: *speechless*

Sometimes i think he is just crazy.
