Just Thai, One Utama

Went to KL with my parents last weekend to do some home shopping, which include another grass cuuter (the 4th electronic one in less than 1.5years), another vaccum cleaner, more photo frames and etc =.=

Visited one of my favourites shopping malls- One Utama at Damansara. I like this shopping mall especially when it has had its new wing, which also means more shops and more restaurants/ cafe. It used to be my one of my hang out places when I was studying at Sunway College but staying at Sierramas, Sungai Buloh.

We decided to settle for Thai cuisine after 1st round of shopping. One main reason is because there are limited choices of good Thai cuisine back in my hometown. Just Thai was selected as it was the closest Thai restaurant from us at that point of time *tsk tsk.

Little did I know that Just Thai is a sister restaurant of Good Evening Bangkok (another Thai restaurant that I like at One Utama). It was only when I saw the same serviettes used at both restaurants then only I did some homework on it. Besides these two restaurants, SEA cuisine owns many other commonly seen Thai restaurants such as Flying Chilies, Absolute Thai and et cetera.

Our refuel after 1st round of shopping included Spicy Tom Yam with Seafood...

Our all-time favourite Green Curry Chicken...

Kangkong with Belachan...

And the highlight of our lunch - Deep Fried Garoupa with Thai Chilies Sauce. This was really thailicious. The fish was deep fried to perfect. The fish bones were crispy too. We finished up the the fish with almost no bones left to be cleared *nom nom nom

Ohhhh, another reason which my dad only told me when we reached One Utama was to get me a good pair of running shoes. I could not see any that I fancy in my hometown and didn't bother to look for any while I was in Singapore.

Dad and mum think that the old pair I had at home needed a substitution to give me better protection from injury and pain when I exercise. So both insisted that I get a new pair, and finally I settled with Nike Free XT that are light and comfy <3.

I am showered with so much lovessss! THANK YOU SO MUCH! *big hugs*

Sundown Marathon 2011

Finally, I made it to Sundown Marathon 10km this year on the 28th May 2011.

Registered as a participant last year but ran away to Kuala Lumpur for a short trip *gasp*

Checked the online race result, completed 5km within 30mins 33secs and my chip time was 1hr 04mins 09secs.

The online result shows that there were 5454 finishers behind me when I stepped on to the finisher line and I was at the 17th place in the female 25-29 division, with 2% finishers ahead.

I could not ask for more though I aimed to complete the 10km run with no pit stops. I walked for a distance till I saw the finishing line from far. That was when I started to run with all my strength to complete the Sundown Marathon! *satisfied*

Never ever give up! If you think you can, you can! Cheers.

Beef Noodles Soup (Taiwanese Style)

I wanted to participate so much in the blood donation drive last week. Especially when I know that my blood type is scarce most of the time.

However, my hemoglobin was too low and I was rejected at the door step to become an eligible blood donor. The minimum hemoglobin level you need to be a qualified donor is 12.5g/dl, mine was 11+g/dl *sad*

With the intention to become a suitable blood donor in the next blood donation drive. I cooked a dish that is high in iron, aiming to increase my haemoglobin levels *winks

Beef noodles soup~ *nom nom nom*

Learnt this dish from a friend’s mum who is a Taiwanese when I was in uni. Have not cooked this dish for at least 2-3 years. Luckily I still received positive comments from my guinea pigs :P

I love it best with loads of salted veggies *yummy*

S.U.R.P.R.I.S.E. ♥

I am really sorry for this long overdue post! Please bear with me :P


SHE is a G.E.M. found in Singapore. She has left Singapore for 45days to date, to further her studies in Australia. We are waiting for her to come back to us, come back to Singapore for good at year end, once she finishes her studies.


We all L.O.V.E this baby, be it at work or out of work. And, approximately 2weeks before she left to Perth, we organized a SURPRISE farewell party for her!



I really appreciate how everyone from different departments, staying at different corners of Singapore and/ or having different commitments to put in an effort on the 29th January 2011, to attend the farewell party at Jurong East. The surprise would not be so successful with you all. THANK YOU girls and boys. Salute!







We miss you hell lots babe! Almost every day, there is someone who will check with me on how you are doing in Perth! I must say that I MISS the days we work together, gym together, eat together, play together and travel together.


In short, I am missing you everyday babe! And, I am counting down to the day you are back to us again! Hope you are doing really really well there my dear! Take good care of yourself there! Let us know if you need anything from Singapore and we shall deliver it to you asap. Cheers, xoxo ♥

JJ I AM World Tour, Singapore Indoor Stadium

It has been more than 1.5yrs since I last went to a concert.

JJ I AM World Tour is the 3rd concert I have attended in my life and my 1st ever attended concert in Singapore Indoor Stadium.

My love to concert began when I first attended A-mei's Star Tour at National Stadium Bukit Jalil 2years ago. A-mei's performance, stage design and the live atmosphere were all too great and memorable. I can assure you that her concert is value of money and it is the best concert amongst the ones that I have been to thus far.

There were a few hiccups before JJ's concert. One of the major ones would be the admission of my childhood friend to the hospital to investigate the cause of her severe headache and vomiting. You could tell excitement in her easily 2weeks before the concert. However, things do happen out of our control at times. Unexpected things happen and learning to accept the changes is the key to it though it may not come easy.

So, what did we do? We went to the concert in two instead of three, we chose a few songs and skype-d with her when we were in the concert. LOL.

Visited her before the concert and brought her some snacks from ION.

Revisited her again after the concert. Brought supper and a souvenir from JJ's concert to her. If I were her, I would definitely not want to stay in the hospital alone. So, I decided to stay over at the hospital to keep her company.

Praise god nothing major happened to her. She was dignosed with migraine and discharged the following day.

Take good care of yourself my dear all. Do not let your beloved family and friends worried about you in whatever things you are doing, whoever you are with, whenever you are and wherever you are. Smile.

First blood donation @ NUH

Finally, after multiple persuasions by my colleagues and struggles, I decided to go for this blood donation held at NUH on the 25th Sept 2009.

My blood, for you - whoever in need ;)

I am not afraid of needles or anything like that. Nonetheless, blood donation was always linked to bruises in my perception after learning about one of my friend's experience of blood donation done by a poorly trained nurse.

Luckily, my experience was not that bad, no big bruise or pain. *phew*

Now, I dont mind going for another blood donation after 3months time to help people in need of my blood type, not that common afterall. Haha.

Super Band Concert at Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil

Accompany my dearest and beloved to the Super Band concert at the Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil yesterday.

The tickets

The stage setting was not as good as A-mei's. And our seat were so front that I could hardly have a good overview of the stage.

The good thing is I did know most of the songs sing at the concert, some of the songs were way before I was born, 1972, 1982 etc. Luckily they are all well-known enough for me to have heard before.

My dearest enjoyed the concert to the max.

Night at Pan Pacific Hotel

Went for a dinner come talk re: pediatrics sponsored by Mead Johnson at Pan Pacific Hotel, Singapore, yesterday night after work.

The talk and the dinner were both excellent. There were a live jazz band right after the talk and the female singer looked so young and her voice was really great. A worthwhile trip indeed. Now, let's the pictures do the talking.

The presentation

Deluxe Appetizer Platter


Braised Lobster Broth with Sea Treasures

Wok-fried Fresh Scallop with Broccoli

Steamed Sea Perch Fillet and Preserved Vegetables with Superior Soya Sauce

Marinated Farm Chicken in Honey and Soya Sauce, smoked with Jasmine Tea Leaves

Ho Tien Lo's Specialty Fried Rice

Assorted Cakes and Pastries

Mango Sago

A satisfying meal with satisfying talk and organization. Thanks for the invitation =)

Steamboat at New Sanctuary

Me had been missing the days where I would have steamboat with my dearest brother over these few months of winter at Melbourne. Coincidentally, my new housemate had been craving for one too. So, we decided to have a easy and simple steamboat feast over the weekend.

Lots of veggies for steamboat

Followed by some high antioxidant fruits as a perfect ending.
