It's Monday again!

And you guess it, my happiness level simply drops every Monday; not as much as the Hang Seng index I hope.

Got myself a couple of games in words with friends to entertain myself and man, think I'm losing my brains. I'm getting bad at it, sulks.

The food @ liquids cafe was good, especially the piping hot mushroom soup! :)





I finally got to taste koi bubble tea as well! I love the smooth red tea and the chewy pearls, it will be great if the queue is shorter though.





It was only 588 when I took mine. Haha.

Can someone help my happiness level? :(

Liquids cafe

That's a new hangout place for you.


Located along upper bt timah and right opposite al amin; it's at the corner in Goh&Goh building. Pretty much a cozy place but there's lots of construction goin on outside the cafe.


I was told by a prospect to meet here, I wonder why this place. Waiting for lunch to be served, I'm super hungry.

Anyway, I found them! My latest craze over banana choco sticks.


Grin, I just got a handful of them.


I can smell my food, reviews later!

GS meeting

That's goal set meeting for you, a perfecto excuse to chill out at Dempsey, PS cafe.



While I'm typing this, Steph is savouring her lunch. She was at powermoves for pilates prior to this, thinking if i should join her, seems fun and all. I wonder why is this place so crowded on a lazy afternoon at 230pm, the picture doesn't do much justice, really.









Actual meeting starts from now.

Rain or shine?

The weather has been pretty erratic these days. One moment the sun is bright and glaring; before you know it, it's raining cats and dogs.

Was driving through the damn super-duper heavy rain yesterday and man, it's tedious! I wonder how the motorcyclists travel in this condition. Honestly, it's almost impossible to see them especially the blind spots. As much as they were afraid of being knocked down, I was darn scare as well.






I have been using my speckys quite often for the past 2-3 weeks. Even though my eyesight did not deterioate further, I still can't see clearly. Perhaps it's time to get a new set of speckys.






Escargots galore!
Spotted these super vunerable creatures while walking back to ofc, haha.





Till the next post!

Please don't eat my entry!

Just realized blogger ate up my entry! Was blogging about the long queue at ikea alexandra and to illustrate the attrocious queue, I managed to finish my entry before it's my turn to get the trays and cutlery. Boos!




Was at halia, botanical gardens for hi-tea with the babes yesterday; a busy and bustling avenue for the atas expat wives and daughters. Don't think any of us are going in their direction, after all, our bfs are non-expats. Haha.

Food is yummy and even though the portion seems small, the entire serving is very filling. And it's pretty affordable, good ambience. A pity we can only stay there for 2.5hrs maximum and they'll be close in preparation for dinner crowds.





Ah-goh, post the pics soon k! :)

On a totally random note, this gotta be my latest favourite snack.



These chocolate banana sticks are not to be missed, got this in a cold-storage lookalike mart in Bali. I thought I saw this in Singapore as well, gonna comb the marts soon.

What other combinations other than bananas and chocolate make great desserts? Nothing as yet, according to my book of wonderful foodies.

Greetings from Bali III

It's sucky to countdown to the end of my holidays! Sulks.

Bali has been great; more of a walk, shop and eat trip rather than sightseeing and all. We've bought quite a couple of stuff that I'm now worrying if we will manage the luggage to 25kg. Keeping the fingers crossed.

When we go back to Bali next year, guess we're gonna cover ubud and the other attractions and learn surfing! I propose that we take a week to 2 weeks of hols instead. That is to also say, I've gotta start working hard when I'm back. Honestly, that sucks.

One of my favourite breakfast, the mee goreng!


We were walking along Kuta beach this morning, many surfers despite the red flag.









The heavy and congested traffic everyday. Needs a lot of skills and courage to drive in Bali.


One of the streets we walked many times, Jalan Poppies II and I of course! :)


We stayed in Harris Kuta and the location is damn good as well.






It's just beside the beach and on the same stretch along with hard rock, so it's pretty easy to walk around and navigate around town. But I guess I won't go back to Harris a second time. It's pretty good and all, just that there might be better options around.

While typing this, we are actually waiting for the transport to the airport 2 hours later. Didn't want to walk around as we will start sweating and get all smelly before boarding the plane.


My holidays is coming to an end, screams!!!

Greeting from Bali II

Nope, no babi guling as yet; no bebek bengil as well. But, I'm still good with my life saviour no. 1, the watermelon juice!


Yea, it's freaking hot today even though it did drizzle a little in the late afternoon. That was when the roomie and I parked ourselves in one of the many massage places along Jl Legian. The 1 hour Balinese massage was shioks.

Anyway, think I'm carbo-overloaded with the mee gorengs and Balinese fried rice and all, they are simply too yummy to resist! And the satays with the thick peanut sauce, sedap! Food is definitely great here, very affordable food if you know where to go.

Lesson 101: bargaining on the streets need more than skills and thick-skin.

Yea, it's important to bargain so not to be a carrot-head. Still, it's not good enough! You got to checkout the prices at the supermart first!

Blogging in Harris kuta now, great location!

Greetings from Bali!

It's already the second day that the roomie and I are in Seminyak, Bali!


While waiting for our breakfast, I grabbed a quick shot of the dining area of our resort, Artemis Villas. Nice and clean place as it has just been open for around 5 months. :) the staff are friendly and the location is good as well. Most importantly, there's free wifi, 5 thumbs up!



Anyway, the roomie and I went to ku de ta this afternoon and we stayed there for the entire afternoon till after our dinner. The sunset was beautiful! The place is a lil pricey though and by 530pm, the crowds are flooding in. A glimpse of the sunset from our table.



We'll be moving to Kuta tmr, more to come! Till then, ciaos!

Holidaying!

yea, im smelling Bali already!

will be away from the 9th-13th May and before you realize, im back to singapore again and will be sloggin my way thru 2010. hopefully, the roomie and I can plan for another getaway somewhere in sept?

was thinkin if i should just mention bout my holidays in Perth as i've gotten the photos from everyone, just that im lil' lazy to consolidate the ones i want. it's a bit too many pictures to be uploaded here. the keyword is still lazy, there's facebook anyway.

i brought mrs ong along on this trip. haha.

and of cos, my besties were there with me as well.

Perth was not quite the usual exciting venue, but the entire road trip was made real fun because of the friends!

till the next post peeps, it's already 430am!

Treats.

Reckon I'll just post some of the lovely sweet treats I had recently.

First up, the tiramisu from Spinelli!



Lovely display and looking absolutely yummilicious. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to savour it as the roomie bought this less than 2 hrs after I'd extracted my wisdom tooth. Sulks. Managed to had a lil bit of the dark chocolate though, real nice.

I heart dark chocolates! :)

Next up, the cinnamon melts from mcdees!


If you have not tried it, you're defintely missing out TOO MUCH! Even though mcdees have launched the melts for quite a while already, it wasn't eye catching enough for me until last night. Had a sudden craving to try the cinnamon melts and it's addictive!

Defintely going for more of the cinnamon melts! :)
