Anyway, had a nice nice dinner on 11 Sept last year at Outback Steakhouse at Millenia Walk. Celebrated bdae dinner =) Food was very good, and we ate till we couldn't walk! Haha. Love the cheese fries, deep fried shitake mushrooms, and my cheese smeared chicken breast. Yum yum. Now that they have a MRT station near it (Promenade), one could go there easily to have a good feast!
The super good cheese fries with bacon!
The juicy deep fried shitake mushrooms!
My cheese chicken breast with pilaf rice! *drools*
Pan-fried salmon with pilaf rice! Perfectly grilled with lotsa juices!
Went to sentosa for staff retreat on 24 Nov, and took the Skyride and Luge for the first time! The skyride was booooooooring, but the luge was a good invention! There's totally no chemical/electrical power involved, purely operated by physics and gravity. I enjoyed it though it was pretty short haha. After this, it was holiday time!
Had signed up for the bond just before the hols. Was still hesitant prior to that, but when the letter came, I just thought "what the heck" and just went for it. Haha. Hope I will like it!
I went to KL and Genting with family in december during the hols. First time to KL, and second time to Genting since pre-primary school days! Haha. Genting was very very cool, I just love that weather! Had some nice dinner at chinese restaurant, walked around the various hotels, and gambled in the casino for a short while. Played jackpot, and left without losing anything haha. Was almost going to leave after my last credits, and I actually won back what I've lost in my last 3 credits lol! Then I just left the place =) Went to KL, and it wasn't very interesting. Food was ok, and shopping was actually quite lousy haha! Even the IT shopping centre there (Low Yat Plaza) wasn't very well spaced out.
Slacked around after that, and had a very day out, and nice dinner at Brasserie Wolf on 31 Dec. Had foie gras as starter, superbly done! Then we had a thick juicy steak and lamb chop for starters, and an orange ice cream pancake which was out-of-this-world! Sweet and sinful, but irresistible =)
Me waiting for food to come.

the sinful but sweet and tasty pancake!
The restaurant!
I then started school in Jan. It was pretty slack in the first 2 months, but after that, the work suddenly started piling up! I was just overwhelmed during CNY period, and was actually busy doing assignments in the midst of CNY! LOL!
Bought Lenovo Y460 laptop during March IT Fair. I got a super super good deal! It was $1699 with $100 taka voucher on first 3 days, but dropped to $1649 with an extra free Seagate 320gb 2.5" external hdd on the last day. I got it, and then during the lucky draw, I actually won a Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2! Haha! AND.. JF actually helped me win the last prize of the IT Fair lucky draw! It was a $200 cheque hehe. So lucky! After selling away all the misc stuff, old laptop, and getting the LDS, I paid something like $6xx for it! Haha! Could have sold off the taka voucher, but gave it to mum cos she could buy something with it during the GSS this year =) Needed the laptop for work, else I wouldn't have gotten it.
Went to a few places for my bdae this year:
- Esmirada at Orchard. Wow, food was good! Went with a during restaurant week, and food was very nice. Had a very long tall garlic bread, lamb chop and fish for mains, and a tiramisu cake for dessert. Because it was my bdae, they had a tradition of throwing porcelain plates on the ground as celebration. So the waiter passed plates to all the tables present to throw on the floor! This was really a first time for me. Love that place =)

the unbelievably succulent beef
the equally awesome fish steak - A restaurant on board a ship at Marina Bay at the pier. Had a mini side buffet with jf. The sides consisted of just salad, pilaf rice, baked potatoes, and some dessert. The mains were pretty good though. The chicken chop was especially succulent and I love the sauce so much!
- Vienna buffet at UE with family. Had buffet lunch there, and I took my favourite foods of salmon sashimi, swordtail sashimi, oysters, and unagi. Food was very good, and it was packed on a Saturday afternoon! Haha. Love eating salmon so much!
hairy crab, crayfish, and prawns - Crystal Jade Korean bbq restaurant at Centrepoint with D2. Didn't know Crystal Jade has this kind of korean bbq restaurant at all! Haha. We took the buffet option, and the food was pretty good. Better than Seoul Garden for sure (zw kept harping on it lol)!
Bought the Fujifilm F200 EXR camera at $379 from audiohouse, because I needed a new small compact good camera to bring to Macau on 1st June with my family. Going there for a short 4 days vacation. Hope we can get to eat some good food and buy some nice clothes there! =)
Ok, that's it for now. =)
