On Wednesday , I decided to give myself a break from all the tuitions and spent some quality time with my loved ones - friends and kunny ( who's abandoning me for Aussie in 2 weeks time )
brought him to my trusted brow salon , rupin's at holland village to get his eyebrows trimmed.
he's been dying to try eyebrow threading for sometime, bugging me to bring him when we were in bangkok . the thing about my boyfriend is, he's very very "adventurous" and he always fazes me with his new idiosyncrasies. bicycle stunts, body building , beer brewing (?!? most extreme) to name a few..
we managed to get tickets for monsters inc at shaw's lido after our fruitless hunt for winter jackets.
please bring along a cardigan when you visit the movie theatres at lido because their aircon's on full blast and we were freezing throughout the movie . i had to hide my arms kun's bag to keep warm.

met up with the uniclique for dinner at timhowan.
we had to queue for 1.5 hours, from 6:30pm all the way to 8pm. the queue was madness and it didn't help that sammi cheng and andy lau were at the foyer for some movie fan meeting.
it's pretty hard for big groups to secure seats and they need everyone to be present before they allow you to have the seats. it's much easier if you were to go in pairs.
then again , going in big groups all us to try a variety of dishes . we ordered almost everything on the menu and the total bill amounted to about 24 per person. there were a few hits and misses, but it was a satisfactory overall. i heard it's much cheaper and better in hongkong's original branch though .
Peihao ordered this to satisfy his chinese porridge craving after months in Aussie.
this was a miss . we ordered three portions and no one really liked it.
love this two fried dishes too :)
chee cheong fun in three different kinds of fillings - mushroom, shrimp and charsiew.
i'm a fan of CCF so i wouldn't give this a miss but i thought the mushroom filling was a lil weird.
one of the most popular dishes - osmanthus flower jelly .
the super sharp fragrance put us off quite a bit. it's like you're consuming perfume.
not really a fan of herbs so this is a miss for most of us.
these two are my ultimate favourites - yam puree with sago and BBQ pork buns.
i'm sure BBQ pork buns need no introduction and it's so popular that it's only limited to one portion per pax , regardless of dining in or takeaway. we ordered three portions for our dine in and were told we can only takeaway a maximum of 5 portions. the staff has kindly provided us with takeaway boxes and plastic bags to divide our takeaway share. i thought that was a thumbs up on CS side :)
yam puree with sago was soooooo good. i'm not really a fan of yam or the popular or ni yam dessert but this is such a refreshing change from mango sago dessert. i'm deserting the later for the former for sure :)
picture snapping time after a hearty meal
headed off to marks and spencer to accompany our dearest rachel to stock up on some snacks for work.
she has started on her first official job as an accounts executive last week and she's already so swarmed with work. she almost couldn't make it for dinner because she has a few projects on hand ( too pro! ) and i'm so proud of her and yet feel so sad that we won't be able to spend so much time together. we used to see each other everyday to mug and whine about all the revision and non existent social life.
i.still.can't.believe.we.are.stepping.into.the.workforce.already.
i would be joining the working crowd (hopefully) after i'm done with all my tuition assignments on hand this year. alot of my friends encouraged me to pursue full time tutoring and i've put much thoughts into it. after much deliberation, i've decided that i should not go into the private teaching field full time because teaching from 7pm-9pm ( the usual teaching slot ) would mean that i've to miss out on dinner gatherings etc. I also felt that if i were to go into teaching, i should go through the proper channels of NIE ; i'm not sure if this is the route that I want to pursue, having chose the Business Degree in the first place.
life is all about making choices and sacrifices.
