Girls' Nite Out - Confession of a Shopaholic

Good movie and good company but was kind of disappointed with the event turnout. What I meant was we could have done this on our own instead of paying a hefty $50 for the movie.
We met at Oothique in Boat Quay and there we were served a complimentary martini, given a goody bag containing a stick of mentos, a packet of finger biscuits, a small bottle of Fizz, which is nice and a bunch of vouchers and a Expat LIving magazine. Well thats ok, not great but ok. The martini in Ootique ($10), was pretty diluted. Don't taste no gin in it. Shirin had to ask for a top up too.
They have pretty nice stuffs there. Pink wall papers and all, really sweet. But it does get pretty noisy when u have 24 ladies talking at the same time. Kind of like in a food court. Yeah I know we ladies can be noisy but I think what is lacking is some music on the background. Or were we so noisy that we drowned it?
From there we were taken in a bus to Vivo for our movie, only to be told that we were at the wrong cinema!!!!!!!!!!! Organiser had made a mistake and our tickets are for Great World. Luckily for her, she managed to get us all in. HOw can an organiser who had collected $1200 from 24 ladies make such a major mistake. And on a Friday nite! LUckily she managed to secure another 24 seats for us in Vivo and not have us rushed on to Great World and miss a good part of the movie! And even so, it's front row seat.
We did our maths - $10 for martini, $8.50 for movie ticket n no more than $10 for the bottle of fizz, menthol and biscuits..40 seater bus is about $200 for a single trip. We are definitely better off going on our own and do the gold class like we did with Sex & the City.
But having say all, I had a good time and that's because of the company. With all my recent spur of a moment short trips, I have not catch up with the girls for a while. And movie was great. Love her fan dance. But definitely next time we will do it on our own.
Well, there's always the first time.
I was happy just to be able to catch up with Shirn and Rach.. i
So really,ultimately its the company that counts.
Was actually looking forward to dress up for the event but with this injured knee, how to be glam?

My Implants

Dr Lynn Yeo - www.lynnyeo.com.sg Its been 11 days after the implant... I am seeing fine now. Close vision still not too good but according to Dr. Yeo, my eyes are still adjusting. That probably explained the fact that at certain time of the day I see fine and some time, a little out of focus. For near sighted reading, it helps using a reading glass. At least for now; may gets better, may not. But thats just for reading. Otherwise everything else is ok. Can check out the cute guys, no problem :-) She also given me the green light to resume work out. So I am hitting the gym tonite! Yippee! Ok, the moment I mentioned implant, everyone's eye automatically move to u know where! No I don't need that! I am proudly well endowed :-) So I have this need to clarify. Its ICL or rather in my case, Toric ICL - implantable contact lens. Lasik is something I've always wanted. But unfortunately I am not medically qualified because of my thin and irregular cornea. I was so disap

Fajitas Dinner

Image
Sixteen years in Texas and finally now back in Singapore after 10 years, I finally attempted to make this signature dish. Been back for 10 years and still cannot find any restaurant that can come close to the real TexMex Fajitas. Started marinading the flank steak right after noon. Was not able to get hold of the regular Texas lime; so used calamansi & lemon instead. Out of ziploc bag so used the bowl instead. Would be better in the ziploc cos then the flavor will be completely sealed in. But anyhow, it still turned out awesome. Marinade with onions, cilantros, bell pepper, salt & cumin. Finally ready for grill after chilling in marinade for about 6 hours Did the whole enchiladas...man have not used this expression for a while! Guess for this, it is most befitting. Did guacamole, pico de gallo and Mexican rice. All from scratch. Rice is cooked with fresh tomatoes, pureed with onions. Was not able to get any avocados cos those that Daisy bought for me was not ripe yet..

Sex & the City - Gold Class

Gold Class - that's the way to go man! It's like going on business class. Great movie, great company and great experience. Thank you Rachael and Shirin for suggesting it. And Rachael, thank you so much for booking the tickets online. You know its such great fun to dress up for a movie. To feel so excited about a movie outing. Seems to lost that for a while. Isn't that what life is all about? I am so thankful to have girlfriends like you all to spice up my life. You are my Spice Girls! I really enjoyed it. Though I have to agree with Daisy, the next time around I will rather go easy on the dining cos the service disrupted the movie. And it's such a shame that they got Shirin's order mixed up and here we are, Daisy and me wondering why our platter is so humongous. HOw silly of us That aside, the movie itself is really entertaining. You have to know the series to enjoy it. Wonder if they will do a sequel or maybe a Desperate Housewives movie?
