Things Happen When You Least Expect It

My Goddess has been trying to lose weight for a few months by running rigourously and eating less carbo, more vege, not eating after 8 etc but was unsuccessful. So she kinda gave up, started to eat more fast food, exercise 1 day less per week and ate after 10. And guess what she lost 2kg!

Sometimes you just can't have any expectations lest you become disappointed. You'll feel much happier when you do things without expecting much returns so that in the end you can be pleasantly surprised!

First Atas Charity Dinner

One of the charity clubs that my Goddess' company donates too had a Charity Dinner on Thusday night. It was held at the ever-so-grand Shangri-la Hotel Ballroom. This was the first time my Goddess and the Horny Devil went there for a meal.

The ballroom was indeed very grand with its chandelier lights and detailed carvings on the ceiling.

The food was good too! With an 8-course Chinese dinner meal, they were really full at the end of the meal.

Appetiser

There was also loads of live entertainment, from fashion show to live band, acapella and jazz performance.

They even had on-the-spot photographer made into 2011 calendar!

New Collection, New Sale

Oh shit! I forgot to advertise for my Goddess that Paper Polly's new collection was launched (like a week ago) and there's a End of Season Sale going on now!

Do go support her, check it out and buy something from her ok! (If not I'll bite you!)

Banana Muffin, Wedding Prep and JC girls meet-up

And true to what my Goddess said in her last post that she's going to try the banana muffin and try the next day she did!

The banana muffin was really good! There were even chunks of banana inside the muffin itself.

Anyway, my Goddess is loving her and the Horny Devil's new camera, and so am I! The quality of the pictures are just superb!

On 21 Aug, my Goddess and the Horny Devil did their wedding prep again, this time in search of bridesmaid dress tailor at Far East Plaza.

Before the shopping, it was lea break (lunch & tea) at a Hong Kong cafe.

See what I mean by the superb quality of the camera? The food just turned out so perfect and mouth-watering.

Super oily Bosch Soup

After checking out two shops, my Goddess is more or less confirmed with going to Love Potion for they have really good quality and design. Unless her sisters refuses to pay for half of the cost of the dresses :P

In the evening, it was a meet-up with her JC girlfriends to celebrate Lover's birthday and have a catch-up with everyone.

Dessert at Dessert Story

During the meet-up they talked about how one of the college mates one of them met recently was pretty good looking during JC days, but now, unfortunately looked much older and worse than their age. And so they were all so relieved that they still looked the same, in fact, better than before. Don't you agree?

To end the night off, how can they forget to take pictures in the ladies - what they always do since JC days.

 

Yummy Muffins!

Just last week, my Goddess saw an a post by GoodStuph on Facebook - Muffins for Bloggers! 

Being the auntie Ching she is, she decided since she blogs, and it doesn't matter the readership figures as long as the blogger blogs, why not try the muffins? Anyway the only thing she needs to register with GoodStuph. Besides the muffins looked really yummy on the website!!

The one with the red cherry looks especially good! And submitted the entry she did.

And just last Wednesday, she went to pick up her free muffins from Muffinman! What a cute name.

The store was really bright and cheery too.. makes you feel like buying more muffins!

Look at the rows of muffins! Slurps~

It's the cherry one that my Goddess wanna try!

Little hearts - so cute!

There were like 101 flavours to choose from. My Goddess couldn't make up her mind. So in the end she got a Lemon Raspberry, a Mango Custard, one Triple Chocolate and one Rum & Raisin.

The same night, my Goddess took her new Canon camera to have a shot shooting the pretty muffins.

Another shot at colour select - fun~

Mango Custard

The next morn, my Goddess took one of the muffins to work for breakfast.

And it was really good! Normally, my Goddess is not a big fan of muffins as they can get really 'gelard'. But the muffin from MuffinMan was light, not oily at all. There were bits of creamy cheese/rum within the muffin. Can you see it?

Okay, maybe her hp cam isn't so good to capture the 'wetness' of the muffins, so here's pointing out to you where it is.

And my Goddess finished up the whole muffin, wanting for more!

Unfortunately my Goddess didn't have the chance to try the Chef's recommendation - Triple Chocolate. The Mango Custard was so-so to her, probably cos it was like 2 days later then she consumed that muffin, so the custard was not oozing out of the muffin like in the picture.

The lemon raspberry was cute to eat cos of the bright red hearts and yellow cream. But she still loved the Rum & Raisin one the best!

There are so many other flavours that my Goddess would love to try:

Longan Wolfberry? That sounds so healthy! Can have a few more servings!

White Chocolate Banana. My Goddess will go bananas on this!

Black & White Chocolate - this looks really pretty

Triple Chocolate - the one my Goddess didn't get to try

Mint Chocolate

And of course the Mint Chocolate! The really pretty one that is seen in the picture!

Since this muffin shop is so near the family's cafe. I think my Goddess will visit the shop ever so often to try the different flavours each day!

Wait wait! That's not all! They've given my Goddess a 1-for-1 voucher to share with you.

Go print it, buy it and eat it! I swear that this tastes so much better than my munchie treats!

National Day, Before and After

My Goddess went for dinner with the Horny Devil and their friends at one of Chinatown's market. It's the one at Smith Street with the famous Claypot Chicken Rice and Fish Head Bee Hoon one.

Saw they sat at a table and ate the Claypot Rice and some Salted Bean Fish. After they finished their food, they started discussing on a very boliao topic based on this.

The hole in the table!

My Goddess said this is meant for the umbrellas so they won't slide off the table or take up one seat. The Horny Devil insisted that there were other uses...

To place the bowl so it won't shift around!

And to place drinks!!

If it's really meant for these uses, why is there only one hole and not one for every seat?

On the eve of National Day, my Goddess and the Horny Devil woke up really early in the morning and travelled down to Mount Faber at 9am.

And guess why they were so excited?

Jewel in the Box was giving away free cable ride tickets (450 in total) in celebration of National Day and they managed to get there in time to get a pair!

And they realised this also means a free entry into Sentosa!

Beautiful scenery from above

It has been a long time since my Goddess rode on the Singapore's cable car.

Upon reaching Sentosa, they realised they were not prepared and there was nothing much to do (?!)

They decided to walk around to look for a place to eat breakfast. Along the way, they found a cute poster.

This is the skydive simulator which is still under construction. The doggie looks really stylo and happy doesn't he?

After walking around for an hour, they found that there was nothing much to eat at Sentosa. There were a lot of Coffee Bean outlets there, a Subway and Delifrance store, but not very breakfast-sy.

And so they took the cable car back, tired, hot and hungry.

And had breakfast at Harbour Front's Macs then. Duh~

After breakfast, they took the train down to the Expo to visit the Harvey Norman Sale as my Goddess has been wanting to get a better camera for Paper Polly for a while already so that the pics can look better, and hopefully this can boost sales.

It's not cool to pick your nose openly!

And a more pro camera they bought. Damn ex lo!! Paper Polly better show some results to make this worth it.

And this camera is very special. It can sing!! Do you know why?

Because there's (Sean) Kingston in it! Geddit? You are my beautiful girl...

And the week after, they played around with the camera, auto-mode first, cos they haven't mastered how to use the manual mode.

It's pretty clear and the quality not bad, isn't it?
