Dear Diary,

I know this is long overdue!! Lady here is having a BUSY time with school starting and etc. Anyway its not quick to update blog and post pics. Unlike past times whereby i'd miss blogging and writing about my thoughts, nowadays i don't even have time to do my own stuffs. Haiz I wonder where did my time go to?

Well I will just have a short recount of events following my Batam Trip till just before Sodabeta Anniversary Party. I'm blogging my Aug life in spurts. For quick posting, I have compiled the photos of each event in one pic (scrapbook style kind except I made these from scratch instead of going to scrapblog & wait for it to load).

20th Aug (Thurs)



Met up earlier with Rae to do some shopping at Spotlight before meeting with simplepris at Pizza Hut. Made a booking but still had to wait for vacant table so we went shopping at Made With Love. Elise still hadn't reached so we also waited for her. At 7.30pm or so, the pizza hut called me and we made our way down to get table for 4. We chatted as we waited for Elise to arrive before ordering. We shared garlic bread, drumlets, hawaiian pizza and shrooms pizza as shown in the pic above. Pizza Hut was closing when we left.

22nd Aug (Sat)



I finally got my bike so i cycled to Parkway to meet with Miko & MH. We went to buy some breads (lunch) before walking over to Teo Heng KTV at Katong Shopping Centre. Got lost alittle in Roxy Square trying to find the other exit. Haha. By the time we reached KTV, it was abt 2pm. BQ & BC both late so we started singing. The KTV very orangey but our room was quite spacious. haha The only thing i don't really like is the window so huge that outsiders can easily look in. HAHA BC was quite mad at BQ when they arrived cuz BQ made her wait for quite a long time. She was so mad that she didn't want/seem 'bu neng fan" to sing with her/talk to her during KTV. ANyway we sang quite a few songs till 7pm.

Wanted to play tennis but Kallang Tennis centre was booked for tournament so instead we walked through the row of shophouses with food stalls giving off tempting aroma, such as Katong Laksa, Curry chicken, etc. BC left right after KTV as she didn't want to go home too late. There's also Aston's Specialities there and a few restaurants. After walking the whole row and still not deciding, we crossed the road and went to Katong Village. We checked it out alittle - besides the Old Hong Kong Cafe, it also has WARAKU and BRAZILIAN Restaurant.

We decided to have dinner at Old Hong Kong Cafe which opens for 24hr and actually they had dinner while I just watched them eat as i supposed to have dinner at home with my family. At about 8pm, i left and cycled home.

23rd Aug (Sun)



I met up with BL - actually intended to go cycling at ECP but it was dark and gloomy. So instead we met at my house. We chatted, watched videos on youtube about funny animals and played online cutesy games such as Penguin Waitress. LOL For dinner, we wanted to check out Aston's Prime along East Coast Rd but when we went there, it was already closed down so now only left with Aston's Specialities over there. I think Aston's got a higher class outlet but its in Orchard i think. In the end, since BL hadn't tried Japanese main course in restaurant, i brought her to WARAKU at Katong Village. It was quite hectic and crowded but luckily we didn't wait for too long to get a table.

BL had this ramen noodle which actually came with a small bowl of beef udon while i ordered tofu salad, bacon wrapped with mushrooms grill, and unagi maki to share. When BL's food arrived, we were quite surprised at the sizes. LOL She couldn't finish the udon so asked me to help her eat. Although i only ordered 3 ala carte items, i only had a few bites of her udon and noodles which already made me very full.

After dinner, we crossed over to Katong Mall and there was a small bazaar. We browsed the items on sale and i bought a soft cotton white top with flowery designs for only $5! Anyway we went home after this.

I'll stop here for now. A video of funny penguin to share:
