Dinner at Ippudo Sydney & interesting sydney’s sights
I'm usually not a city person, but i do love having the opportunity to visit cities that have interesting sights and historical looking buildings. after all, they are not a common sight in singapore, right? Here's some interesting sights that i saw while making our way from circular quay to QVB (chain mall) to have our dinner on the first evening of our sydney's trip. a street (angel place) filled with loads of empty bird cages. it's an installation titled, "Forgotten songs" that features a bunch of empty bird cages and recorded bird sounds to remind the city dwellers of the abundant birdlife that was in the area prior to…

Tea & lunches with friends.
it’s been almost 2 months since i headed back to work (gosh! has it been that fast?) and i’m honestly, honestly missing my mama friends and the tea-times and lunches that we used to have while we were all on maternity leave. yes, even if it means i had to drag 2 kids along with me. so yeah. this post about me reminiscing about the happy times, and blogging all those happy pictures that i didnt managed to post here. lunch with mich @ antoinette i get reminded of Jerry when i see the logo. every. single. time. because he keeps pointing it to me and says “Ba Ba Sheep!!”…

Team Lunch @ Rokeby
my team had a long overdue team lunch last friday for the june babies. and an unexpected farewell lunch for beverly who left the team rather abruptly. lunch was at rokeby! we always try to go to a different restaurant each time and it was my first time here (though i have been to fat cat which is along the same stretch). The restaurant had a simple, casual decor that was very easy to feel relaxed in. our team of 12 had a small little room to ourselves and we were joking that it felt like a birthday party in mcd (like the olden days). the team! there was a…

Healthy dining starts with ONAKA.
when i first heard about ONAKA, i was pretty blown away. what?! a “no white bread, no white rice, no white sugar” policy?! all-natural ingredients without artifical additivies, chemicals, colorings, flavourings, MSG and trans-fats?? AND 50% of the menu is vegetarian? that sounds like planting roses on mars – impossible. but it is impossibly true. I was invited some weeks back to a food tasting session with ONAKA, short form for Optimum Nutrition And Kitchen Arts. I’m guessing the ‘kitchen’ bit stems from ONAKA’s history where it first started out as a cooking school, but that’s not the important part. the important part is the food. The restaurant serves “Conscious…

sunday brunch at spruce
the usual trio – andy, cindy and me met up for brunch last sunday (along with our significant other), mainly to bade andy farewell and ‘send him off’. this guy is moving overseas for a work stint and i think i’ll be missing his company. in a blink, its been almost 5 years since the 3 of us have met, worked together, became good friends and stayed in contact while we moved on in various stages of life. its nice seeing his 5-year plan materializing! a half awake jerry at the table. it was my first time at the fire station branch and frankly, we weren’t impressed at all.…

the hubby’s birthday.
I didn’t plan anything special. at all. I didnt even buy a present. ha! I am such a terrible wife right? the husb warned me beforehand that he doesn’t want any surprises that requires me to splurge. no fancy cake, no meals that would cost hundreds and all. so I guess not that bad afterall by his expectations. he also decided to work on his birthday (Mon) so there was really not much time for me to plan anything. the weekend before, we popped over to expo furniture sale to check out the furnitures for fun, since we’ll be getting our home soon and had lunch at…

the christmas team lunch
each year, my lovely boss will arrange for a team lunch at a lovely place for the team. it’s always a much-looked-forward-to event for me because there is always good food, we have a nice relaxing long lunch and gossip chit chat about the happenings in the office and pretty much chill around together. this year, lunch is at symmetry, located at kudor street. I loved how chill the restaurant exterior looked, and the team had fun posing with the decor. me, looking rotund and terrible in pictures these days. my face is sooooooo round! restaurant interior. cosy little place with cute little touches here and there! the menu.…

brunch ay canopy with the cousins.
last weekend, the cousins and me planned for brunch! it wasnt so much the food but more for the kiddos to get together and us just gathering together. my nephew Levon trying to hold Jerry’s hands so he doesnt run about while the husb keeps a watchful eye. my cheeky son trying to take off. xsilly joined us and he has a playdate too! having a ride on Donald! lol. it was my first time at canopy and I didn’t realised that there were a lot more indoor seats within in an adjacent restaurant building that belongs under the same management. I love that we were tucked in a…

good luck lunch at medz.
so many familiar faces are leaving at my work place. almost every other week, someone left or there are news of people leaving, many of which without a job. had a good luck lunch with serene the other day. I refused to call it goodbye/farewell. I’m sure we’ll meet and keep in contact! lunch was at medz at millenia walk.. it was a little like marche style of dining concept, but with the food offerings based on 8 cuisine stations – Spanish, Moroccan, French, Turkish, Greek and Mediterranean stations. French onion soup, it was bland and in my honest opinion, not worth the money or the stomach space.…
