Everything-With-Fats(Fries)

Images heavy post

So, after all the hoo-haa about Everything-With-Fries, I've decided to give my Best Friend a belated birthday treat at Holland Village's outlet.


Click on the above picture to see the menu

Let me first introduce my best friend, Toh Hui Ling. We knew each other since Secondary One. We joined the same Co-Curriculum Activity, was in the same classes throughout the 4 years & transferred together from Normal Academic to Express. Her index number is always right above mine and we always sit near, and if possible next to each other.

We address each other as Twiny (as in Twin).



We were fascinated by the varieties of flavour the fries come in (Original, Curry, Sour Cream & Onion, Salt & Vinegar, and Garlic & Herbs), and thought the idea of writing the menu onto the wall is good, so convenient for us to refer to.



So what did we order?



Hui Ling had Pork Cutlet Sandwich with Sour Cream & Onion Fries and Coleslaw. She wanted to try Tandoori Chicken Sandwich but it was unavailable.



I had Breaded NZ King Salmon with Sour Cream & Onion Fries and Coleslaw.



We shared a starter, One Egg Soup, but Hui Ling only ordered mid way through the main course. This soup is really special. The egg is crispy & the soup has the taste of wine.



And we end our dinner with Nutella Tart which is kinda sweet.



Total costs of Fats taken in - S$34.55 only! So my overall experience - Satisfied!  Definitely will go back & next time round i'll bring Mag for being such a good friend and sister, who loves me Unconditionally. Have a Happy Fries (Fat) Day!



Dear Mag, I cried but my heart did not break when we talked over the phone cos i always knew it will happen again. Maybe i was used to it too. But my heart broke when you tried to protect me, fought with me to snatch the phone from me and cried while praying... I know you all love me Unconditionally. I'll accept the outcome bravely.

Ok, no more emo.. and what i bought this week (pictures credit to respective blogshops):

Bonitochico - Puff Sleeve Cardigan in Black
I love the soft knit material against my skin. I love the puff sleeve which gives an edgy feel. I love everything about this cardigan except the costly price of S$28.50, but it's worth it!

I am also glad to be the first 100 customers who got the free Essential shampoo & conditioner. I chose Rich Premiere Range.



Xoxoho - School Girl Skater Dress & Nude Pink Bow Wedges (Will update space when items arrive)
My colleague, Wan Hui, asked why i bought this dress. The reason being, it's white & navy which reminds me of sailor, nautical,etc. And i love the ruffle in front.
The dress has a sewn on tag which states that the dress was Made in Korea. Material is good and the white part is non-sheer. This dress does remind me of secondary school uniform.
OOT: The model waist is so tiny, how i wish i have it too. =p



Initially i opted for self collection (only at Marsiling), but to my disappointment I can only collect it (quoted from SMS) "After 9pm on weekdays and weekend depends". I wonder can i collect it at 1am since it's also after 9pm? But being nice, i decided to opt for registered mail.

This wedges is comfortable and pretty. The material is something to rave about & I can even shop in it!
I love wedges. Who doesn't?




Blogshop - (No item name)
My shoes arrived today in the office in a big plastic bag as shown. I waited for about a week (from date of order) before my item was dispatched.



Have been searching for a pair of white heels for a long time. The actual items look exactly as what is shown on the website. Heels height is comfortable to walk in and I size up for this pair.


Pointed front and the button is non-functional.




Taken without flash, actual shoes are in white instead of cream. Overall, i dont think this pair of shoes is worth S$35. I believe i can find something better with that price.




Lastly, as promised if i bought the Pretty Fit "nautical" heels i'll do a review of it.
I've been eyeing this baby for a few weeks as it looks sweet and it's blue against white. Sweet Nautical pair of shoes.



There are fake crystals on the ribbon so it sparkles (alittle) under the light.



The sole does not have any anti-slipping lines or cuts, but it's not slippery against the floor either. The back states "Genuine Leather Upper. Hand Made."I'll definitely visit the cobbler to get the sole fix.



Heels height is comfortable and stable to walk & run in it. Got a 10% discount (thanx alot to Jennifer) when i bought it..totally I'm Loving it!



Got a wedding dinner to attend today and funny thing is, i know neither the groom nor bride. Worst thing, I've never seen either of them before. My neighbour's son is getting married and my parents are invited. Since dad is away at Malaysia and Mag is unavailable, i've to go with my mum.

Have a goody Saturday!

Staffing Gathering - 26 May 2010

Images Heavy Post 

On Wednesday, the Staffing Team had steamboat buffet at The Rajah Inn. We started at 7pm and left closed to 10pm.

There are a huge varieties of food and their ready cooked items are delicious, especially Bacon Prawn rolls and Tahu Telor..MY FAVOURITE!!! Not forgetting that the food are all pretty fresh!

Each of us were given a mini pot and we get to choose the soups.


With free flow of drinks, desserts, food (ready cooked & steamboat items) and 5 selections of soup to choose from, all it costs per head is S$23.30! Sadly, i never get to try Durian Oozee which is only available on Fridays, weekends and PHs.

Besides all the eating, it was nice catching up with each other after all the hectic & tiring working days. So let me start by introducing 3 colleagues behind the Bonitochico Sequined Toga dress madness!

(left to right) Wan Hui (the smart & pretty lady who gets help from others during BC launch at JPB) & Me.
P/s: WH, in real life you reminds me of Phyllis Quek.



Mr Fastest Finger - Darren See (impromptu pulled into the BC madness.) Like what Yoda Master said, "May the force be with you".I believe your force was ♥



Brian Goh (my backup plan) He failed to get the toga for me. I think he was drooling when he saw the BC models and temporarily forgot to help me! You are one of the Bonitochico-peks!




A better picture of the guys.
(L - R) Desmond, Brian & Darren




(L - R) Lena & Constance




Brian, Lena was telling Grace that you looked cute in this picture. In fact, Lena repeated herself several times that you look cute! My God, if you look cute then Scrump must be upgraded to Chio Bu.




(L - R) Shu Ying & Elaine




(L - R) My Pretty Jennifer & Peifen





(L - R) Wanhui & Audrey =D





(L - R) Evelyn, Susan & Grace




Mr Fastest Finger has a funny way in holding the chopsticks. It looks more like he's holding a chinese brush.




And he did a demo to show us how he picked the food up.  




A photo with my current supervisor.




And lastly, some group photos:






They were having Ice cream as dessert - Strawberry, Durian, Chocolate & what else?



See how big the team is & still not all are present:





All the food, chatting & heavy laughing made me exhausted. It was closed to 10pm and my eyes are getting smaller but my colleague, Evelyn, still want to take pictures of me. Next time there will be no photo taking of me after 9pm. =p

On my last day of work, we shall take pictures again, yea? =)





I'll be doing double blog entries this week. So next up will be reviews, items i've bought over the week & Gathering with my Best Friend at Everything-With-Fries (more like everything-with-fats). Have a Good Vesak Day!

My Online Shopping Buddy

Broke - That's what is left of me this week. And yet my mind has an endless list of shoes, bag and other necessities to purchase. Glad that payday will come in 4 more days!

One week is gone, 3 more to go and i just did my exit interview today. I will miss my online shopping buddy - Wan Hui. I actually influenced her to start online shopping after she fell in love with a pair of heels which i've bought from Melissa2ks:



After that, i've been bombing her with blogshop links, non-stop. We shared postages to send our BO clothes to the office but none of it has arrived yet. Hope we can receive at least one and tear the envelope with joy, before i leave! Anyway...

Dear Wan Hui, Happy Belated Birthday!!



And these were what i drew for her :

And.....Items i've bought this week (instocks & BO):

Lolliepopbestie - Miri Colour Block Mod Dress in Navy Stripe
If i were a guy, i would like to join The Navy. I love the colour navy against white. Any dresses, tops or shoes that gives a nautical feel will win my heart! ♥

Edit: I love this dress but the material is bad. I've been purchasing from Lolliepopbestie for quite some time and their materials used are not something to rave about. The gold buttons were badly and unevenly sewn, 2 out of 5 dropped out and 1 is out of place. I have to spend some time to remove all the buttons and sew it back.

Bottom is not that body hugging, thus no worries for tummy popping out to-say-Hello. However, this dress is definitely not meant for days when you feel fat. The sleeve is just nice on my flabby arms, even on the model it seems just nice on her, somehow restrict movements. What you paid for a dress at S$26.50, is what you get.



Agneselle - Military workdress in Navy (instock) & Serena top in Navy (Backorder)
Yes! Navy again!  *Beam* I do hope i can fit in. Will let you ladies know after i receive my Military Workdress.



Lastly, Lilypirates - Dreams come true dress in Cyan & Pink
My favourite dress this week!

Ooh, i am so in love with this dress there are no words in the dictionary that can describe how i feel.
Although it is made of structured cotton, the material is neither stiff nor rough. I have a HH dress which was made of the same material, and OMG, it's totally opposite!

Length wise and cutting of the dress is good and appropriate for work. Who can resist the white lace against the colours that were available! With side zip which is smooth and non-smocked back, this dress is a must have! If you havent get one yet, what are you waiting for? Go hunt for it!




The colour cyan is very close to the colour of Srump ( I ♥ ugly cute scrump.):

Payday is drawing nearer & i am rejoicing! I am aiming at a nautical heels from Pretty Fit which costs S$70. Will review it if i manage to purchase it next week.  =)
