DREAMS AND MEMORIES

I was first introduced to the Delicious chain of restaurants last year. However, over the past month I’ve been revisiting a couple of times with different groups of people for one reason or another. Mainly for the desserts I suppose. Everything on the menu sounds rather ‘to die for’. My personal favourite is the Applicious Pie and the Macadamian Cheesecake.

A word of advice though if you’re planning to try our their desserts. Don’t order too many at one go because you’re probably going to have to share out the portion among friends especially after all the yummy entrées and sumptuous main course. So here goes – a combined entry of the few visits to Delicious over the past month

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My pink LG clamshell phone [the temp phone before the Nokia C5] decided to go on a PMS strike for the past one week or so. It just refused to let me make or receive calls, and send or receive sms. However, the SIM card seems to be working fine on any other phone. – Must be jealous of the other phone getting all the attention now.

So as a desperate measure, I opted to a full reset of the phone’s setting as a last resort. Much to my relief, it is now in perfect working order. But to my despair, everything is in Mandarin – as this phone was a free gift from a relative in Hong Kong therefore causing the default preset language to be Mandarin. Aaahhhh!!!! On top of that, my written Mandarin is totally HOPELESS!!!!!  - the downsides of being a banana-breed Chinese..

T_______T

Time to do some trial and error in changing back the language to English.. wish me luck.

Treated my family to Shrek on Friday evening. Very worth watching, even if it’s just to laugh your head off with the familiar and well loved characters. At the same time, it’s also a refreshment course for philosophies and values of life.

The creators of Shrek have done a great job by giving the story line an interesting twist and adding in characters like Rumpelstiltskin. Puss in Boots has a slightly ‘different’ appearance in this movie, but he’s still so adorable with those ‘big-round-pitiful-begging-eyes’. I shall refrain from further elaborating the story line to avoid spoilers for those of you who have not watch yet.

Oh yes, two words have been stuck with me since watching the movie. Still have me giggling to myself when I think of it

1)  Ri-donk-ulous  [Ridiculous]

2)  Cat-tastrophe [Catastrophe]

 

 

Saw this DVD box set over the weekend and was thinking to myself that this seems to be a good series to watch. My instincts proved right as this this has been one of the best Korean Drama Series that I have watched since Princess Hours. Coincidentally, Yoon Eun Hye holds the role of female lead actress in both series. She has certainly come a long way from her first debut in Princess Hours. Then there’s also the cute guy which appears quite often~~ MELTZZZ

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Fair Lady, alternatively known as Take Care Of The Young Lady has a rather balanced combination everything throughout the series. There’s tons of humorous jokes, typical ‘princess’ behaviour paired with glamorous clothes by lead characters. Then there will definitely be a healthy amount of scheming by the bad guys (which normally turns awry), and of course sweet, touching, plus heart breaking romance. The soundtrack is pretty good too. ^_^

There’s only 16 episodes to this series and the storyline moves pretty fast which is pretty good. This means that things won’t get too draggy or too ‘emo’. I’ve still got two more episodes before finally finishing this series.. Can’t wait to see what actually happens in the end, although I have a pretty good guess as to the most likely outcome. So for the Korean Drama series lovers who have not watched this series yet, it is very worth considering.

 

My slim and sleek replacement for the pick-pocketed Sony Ericsson W810i.

 

Definitely not built to go against the widely favoured I-phone and Blackberry phones. But good enough to fulfil my needs and that’s all that matters when selecting a phone. So far, I’ve got no complaints about this phone except that it’s really living up to expectations. ^_^

 

Oh yes, there are currently two such phones in my house so I’m gonna have to be more careful when grabbing phones from now on.

 

You can read all about it’s features by clicking here so I shall spare you the technical details.

Sushi time again~~ Went for a sushi session with my sis. We randomly picked Sakae Sushi at Pavilion which happened to be having this Sakura theme promotion going on for the whole of the month of May. So as its name suggests, the range of special edition sushi dishes specially served only this month are associated with the beautiful Sakura flower not only by name but also by ingredients and presentation.

We didn’t have the chance to try all of the special sushi dishes. This was due to the fact that some of the ingredients were apparently not in yet – perhaps we were a bit too early for lunch. So here’s what we did manage to try.

 

 

Among the three, I would say that the ‘Sakura Mentai Maki’ is still the best of all. Probably due to the extra blast of taste from the mayo and whatever extra ingredient they put into the maki. ^_^

We did try a number of other sushi dishes, most of which were freshly made upon order – they were encouraging us to use the computer for making our orders instead of flagging the waiters/waitresses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a totally random post while I’m working on my next one. Was playing with the webcam and it’s features the other day so here’s one really random picture just for fun. ^_^

 

 

And yes, those are my new specs.

 

Got a new pair of glasses today… It was like a revelation when I put them on as the world suddenly became crystal clear again. Almost as good as my first experience wearing contact lens.. Must be the kind of lenses the optician used this time. Apparently it’s suppose to give better protection to the eyes especially since my astigmatism seems to be increasing. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In all, am totally loving my new glasses. There’s a rather solid feel to it due to the design of the frame but at the same time, not too heavy for long hour usage as well. Then there’s the great lenses paired with a white frame which really makes a great combination. Hope it’ll last me for a long time. ^_^
