2010 has so far been quite a good start, though there were rough times occassionally. Times when I would be depress over certain issues. I can't exactly say what are the issues, because I don't even know whether they are really big enough to even worth worrying about. But sometimes it can get really frustrating when it keeps appearing at the corner of my mind. I just hope the remaining days of year would be better. It will be.
I spent my new year eve at shanghai dolly with gina and kylie. These girls never fail to make my nights time and again.




















6th January...After work... dar and i had dinner at the hongkong cafe at bt. timah.

Dar's just wake-up face. Must be one of those days which he was extremely reluctant to wake up to pick me up.



9th January... Agnes and del came to bukit timah shopping centre to meet us. We headed to
Ivins Ivins at Binjai Park for dinner! Peranakan food!
Agnes and I

The blackest squid i've ever come across. But it does taste better than what it looks. 
In fact, Ivins² don't really bother about their food presention. Their food comes in notably small portions, so you can try more varieties before feeling full. It's good for those who are not really big eaters.
Yellow rice

Curry chicken

Curry fish

Prawns

Sambal Kangkong

Otah

Overall, the food there is quite good and definitely affordable.
25th January... My 24th birthday!I spent the first few hours of my bday over at Prize Stage catching toys. And was actually having fever :( Brought home Miku-chan and L back from PS. Dar gave me my birthday pressie once we were back at home. He actually put the pressie in a Gucci paperbag, for a moment I thought he bought Gucci but then again I knew it's not his style of making the pressie so obvious. Moreover, he knows i'm not really a fan of gucci. So I knew it couldn't be. True enough, it wasn't. He bought me a Lumix GF1. I was really happy... cus a new camera was probably the one and only thing I had on my wishlist. I thought he didn't know cus I never actually list out the things I want before. But I've been lamenting for a more pro camera for the longest time. Anyway, thanks dar³.
The first few photos of Miku-chan and L taken with GF 1.. taken by mr khoo. He kept saying I suck at taking photos :( So bad. The nagging just doesn't stop on the first day. Till today, he still nags at the way I take photos. Say I always "niam" him not wearing the mont blanc ring, but he's worse lo!
(But I still love him la.)Dar brought me to Night Safari later in the evening. I was actually quite excited about it cus I don't remember going to the night safari before.




It says "Wild Birthday" on the badge.

Oh anyway, just before we headed to night safari, we wanted to check the tickets rates online. We found out that it's free entrance fee on birthdays! So dar just had to purchase the tram tickets for me :)







Brought L and miku-chan along with us :)




Ben & Jerry's ice cream

The sky started to turn dark. And we decided to walk the trail. I was so frightened cus I could barely see anything amidst the trees and plants. It felt like a jungle to me lo. I was holding on to dar so tightly and kept telling him I don't want to go further. I refused to enter the bats' enclosed place, and he tricked me into entering the flying squirrels one. Nearly got freaked out. But I was pretty happy sitting the tram, it's not as scary :) Some of the pics are blur cus of the moving tram and no flash is allow at all.




otters

fruit bats


hyenas

my fav pic of animals of the night! flamingos.





yay! then we managed to catch the last show!










I enjoyed the show! After that, we wanted to have dinner, but there was no proper restaurants in night safari and the food court isn't even worth mentioning cus everything in there is overpriced! And it was already 11pm plus, which restuarant would open till so late! We wanted to go A971, but dar made a wrong turn. I was so hungry that I couldn't wait any longer, and told him I just want to eat bak ku teh. He refused initially cus he say that I will blog about him bring me to eat bak ku teh on my birthday. He made me swear that I won't. After much assurance, he turned into mohd sultan. I nearly fainted knowing that both bak ku teh stalls are not open! Then, I realised the japanese restuarants along mohd sultan are still open! The restuarant closes at 3am! Thank god otherwise I would have fainted in the car. Extremely happy! It's pretty worth it... 30++ per pax for skewers buffet.






That's all about it for my birthday :)
It's 2.47am already! Omg, i was telling agnes that I will sleep by 2am. Meeting her at 12noon tmr, I won't be able to wake up in time if I don't sleep any sooner. I'll just let the pics do the talking...
28th January...Dar and I went to The Cathay before meeting the others for L4D at princep.


29th January...Agnes and Del, together with Alvin came to Bukit Timah to pick me up before heading for dinner. We went to Bar Bar Black Sheep.










calamari


burgers...


beer battered fish and chips

After dinner, we headed to del's house. Miss Lim needed to get back to work before her emails start to flood her inbox. Del and I helped her to pack the items. I always tell her I enjoy packing cus really quite 'fun'. Lol. See... couples are couples... they even have the same expression lo towards impromptu takings lo! Damn cute.


Alright. Goodnight peeps!
