Food Lover

it is no doubt how much the new friendship brought out the food junkie in us. Most of the times, we would bring the new friends all around Singapore for the yummy food :) name any nooks and corners, we most probably have been there.. we d go for anything that's yummy, from the local orr lua from a kopitiam, to the chicken rice from a hawker centre, to Thai food around the hubby and my client's place, to the orr nee at Hougang mall, to the crayfish at Ulu Pandan, to the Thai buffet near Comcentre, and mannny mannnny more. we basically travelled places. Today luncheon, we explored a nonya food restaurant @ Joo Chiat, well tucked in a corner of the Malay village, and hidden unless u own a book showing restaurants tt participated in the Tourism foodie thingy.. it was a good experience and i was happy with the food.

the 2 yr old Hiroto was a cutsie though a bit hard to please and take care of.

La~ La~ land

nowadays the boy seems to have learned that the bed is for sleeping purposes. But it also still serves its purpose as a dog-fight fluff toy in the daytime ;p I woke up to the storm this morning to have a peep @ him and saw him staggering across to his bed and plopped himself inside :)

Soooooooooo cuddly cute

*love*

Love early sat mornings

The life now is all about baby boy :)

Intended to do a sat morn jog @ ECP with the Japs and let them have their first try on the blades. but the intention was thwarted with Murphy's sharp cries in the morning whilst i was getting ready for the day. i dashed out of the room to see him crouched in a weird and 'in-pain' position in the cage. immediately let him out and one ball of poop pooped out. so mother and i decided tt he was crying in pain from constipation. too bad dogs dun talk.

so being the worried mummy that i am, i decided to bring Murphy out to ECP....

He did me proud again and ran and ran and ran as far as his short legs could carry :) but i din want to overexert the little boy, so slowed down the pace a little..

the good company & I after our jog..

thereafter it was off to Eunos market for some local food. we ordered a looot of fooood :) and i introduced them to the Singapore LOR MEE~ the one at eunos market is really quite tasty (of cos not comparable to the bkt Purmei one that i used to eat while at the nasty job and which i dragged N to eat after i stopped doing that nasty job *heh* noone can resist goood foood). we had prata kosong, prata egg, lor mee, brown rice porridge, vegetarian zai er, kou rou and mei cai with rice, S$1.50 carrot cake, soya bean milk. A wholesome sat's brekkie after the workout and it felt fabulous!!

decided to make a trip to JB and we had dinner at this foodie stretch along the sea. little did we know.....

the food menu was all in MALAYU! and there was no picture on the menu! so it was quite hilarious seeing the guys try to order our food with the limited AYAM, IKAN, GORENG and NASI that they know. how the food was done, remained a surprise ;p

luckily for us, the vegetables were hung on the window of the kitchen, so we pointed to the 2nd stalk at the window and to our utmost amazement, the guy taking our order blurted, "KAILAN?". and we nodded our heads furiously ;p

the happy man and the grouchy man, who refused to be photographed

turns out food was not satisfying. so we headed for the safest foodie place - MCDONALDS :P

was a tiring day and we slept thru the car ride. Poor N had to ferry us to and fro *heh*

so today the prince decided to stay at home cos he is lazy to travel and we almost din intend to meet each other. but by some out of the box and impromptu decision, we decided that i shall take the car and drive myself down to his place!! :)

so Murphy was following me up and down the house while i packed my stuffs before i put him back to the cage for his daily 10am-6pm nap. but just when i was about to leave the house, he gave me that look and my heart just melted to puddles and i had no choice but to bring him along with me ;p (I will take a photo of Murphy's that look next time and let him melt ur heart)

he was well behaved through the meet-the-parents session and N's mother seems to like him :) despite raving threats to cook our dog if N & I ever brought home a dog haha!

So both days of the weekend was all about boy boy...it seems he is getting very attached to me as the days go by..

Shall end off with the pix of boy after his jog on sat--> i think he was panting heavily~

nitezZzzz

snoozy booze

I am reallie showing signs of aging from the way I snoozed @ the sofa seat @ Powerhouse last night. Perhaps it was the booze. Or could be just cos I m quarter century old...

it was a nice catch up amongst the girls to find out 1 rekindled love and 2 new budding relationship and just to hang around. talk about missing out in each other's lives! i heart quality meetups nowadays :) guez i ought to join the YOGA or the hiphop classes to stay in touch... weekends just seem to be sooooo soooo short!!

little one went for full grooming by the professionals today! finally! after 3 mths of lousy haircut by me as i tried to stretch that S$250 grooming package which gave me 5 + 1 FREE full groom sessions. he s got a "Puppy cut" and now spots cutsie squarish boxy ears!

snip snip

blowing dry

little chauffer~ u see the boxy ears? :)

Early Saturdays

Sat morning always starts early and meaningful for me cos it s Murphy's walk and bath day :)

The little boy din want to WALK himself to the park and I had to carry him all the way there before he finally touched ground to run/walk. he got soooo dirty from the puddles of water that splashed when he shuffled past.

here's Murphy - strolling
zonked out under my feet after 2.2km walk, accompanying us to bahkuteh brekkie @ Rangoon Rd, dog-marketing @ farmway1 and before his next stop for the day...
@ Giants


It was a tiring day for him. but i am sooo sooo proud of his 2.2km! :) and he went without food for the whole morning!! thats a super achievement considering how greedy he is

Here s a video of the impatient greedy boy on another one of those days~

A few weekends ago..

2 weekends ago - Murphy was brought to the Carls Jnr @ ECP with the Japs. Baby boy got all hyped up and shaky on his first trip out and we had to put him in the bag while we had our dinner..




*oww so cute!!*

zippedy safely snugly up in his bag

Another weekend ago - me was ferried to Bintan for a mini retreat. here's the atas room tt cost S$180 + a night. We only spent a night there anyway.

Lunch was another atas affair cos it rained and the group was stuck in the hotel. we took a S$32 buffet lunch which only served CHINESE dishes. There was lamb, chicken, beef with vege, egg, soup, keropok, icecream, lousy cakes and that was it! we paid S$32!! it was the cheaper of the 2 choices we had though.. the other one sells Jap food and is as heavily priced as a S$100 which someone saw on the price list of the menu!!!!!

With all means to keep guests within the premises, the hotel did not allow vehicles from the markets on the island to come over to pick us up. and they offered taxi services @ S$24 per trip!! with the 41 headcounts tt we had, it was difficult getting transport arrangement and the extra cost was not budgeted for.

This is the only nice part about the hotel.

Comfy thick beds..

a big flat screen mounted to the wall.
with my roommate on the little platform beside our beds.
And the little deck corner outside our room with forest view..

Recent weekend - Brought the boy on a 1.1km walk-cum-jog around Punggol Park as the vet has advised some exercise for the boy to make him more handsome :) but D is a little against it for fear tt the boy will grow too big for me to handle.. urm wellss... shall strike a balance i suppose.. :)

And i just thought Murphy looks cute in this, biting his little treat :)
