My New iPhone 4G!!!

Those of you who have read my blog would know about my iPhone 3GS saga....  i.e. less than 90 days old phone spoilt because of a stupid Jurassic ride at Universal Studios...  i.e. the ride cost me S$888....  i.e. I had to "live in darkness" for 2 weeks.... etc etc....  HAIZ.....

Anyway, that was HISTORY!!!..... 

Today, my new iPhone 4G finally arrived via DHL....  YEAH!!!... and by the way, it arrived directly from Foxconn in Shenzhen....  heehee....
the parcel.....
amanda happily unwrapping the parcel....  hey look there!.... it's mummy's, not yours, you know....
the happy girl...  you know why she's so happy?... well, she can start playing her games again....  hahaha.....
4G vs 3GS....

Oooh....  I'm loving every bit of my new iPhone 4G....  so is it a blessing that my brand new phone got spoilt at the ride???.....   hmmm........ 
*giggles cheekily*....

daddy  came home with a large cup of koi bubble tea for us....  with compliments from his colleague....  hahaha....

NATAS Fair and Togi Korean Restaurant

This is the weekend of the NATAS Fair and we decided to take advantage of the NATAS fair promotions to book our Hokkaido tour...  However, we didn't want to rush with the crowd at the Expo and hence we decided to book it directly from the travel agent (we still get the NATAS discounts minus the freebies and of course, thanks to Janie for using her credit card for the promotions).....  and since we were here, we decided to try Togi Korean Restaurant...

I have heard so much about this Korean restaurant as my sis has been telling me how good this restaurant is and my colleagues have also been sharing with me how good the food is here... so finally today, I get to try it... hmmm.... like FINALLY!!!....
the menu....  and in case you want to try it, the address and telephone number is on the menu....

amanda and hw....
daddy and mummy...  not one of my best photos since i was looking really haggard here....  but i'm sure i'll look better soon... heehee....

the FOC side dishes...  only 6.... how sad... kim's korean restaurant served us 13 dishes....  lol....

daddy's pork rice.... which we shared...

amanda's beef rice...  she didn't quite like the taste...  she still prefers the beef bulgogi at kim's korean restaurant...

kimchi pancake....  this was not too bad... but i should have ordered janie's seafood pancake...  tried hers and thought it was much nicer...
fried rice cake....  i love this... but daddy doesn't quite like it... he says it tastes weird...  haha.....

amanda and mummy....

Overnight Stay At MBS Again

Yeah!!...  MaMa got free rooms at MBS again...  This time she got 6 nights.... 2 for herself, 2 for Deb and 2 for me!!!....  Daddy and I chose the weekend of 27 & 28 August....  It wasn't a perfect timing as Daddy was exceptionally busy, but then we had to utilise the 6 nights by end of August....

Daddy was busy, so KongKong and MaMa came over to fetch me from home, and then Amanda from school...  Afterwhich, we proceeded to Old Town White Coffee for late tea and early dinner before checking into the hotel....
a cup of koi bubble tea for me....  at last i got to try it after "eyeing" it at iluma for so many times, but each time, the queue was super super long.....
amanda checking into the hotel straight from school... we brought along her school bag as we came in kongkong's car and he would be leaving in a few hours' time, so if we were to leave it in his car, the bag will end up at his house...  haha....
our room... a pity we got the "smallest" room among mum and sis... my sis was lucky, she got the largest room, almost 2.5 times my room size...
our view from the room....

we love the toilet...
the bathtub....
the shower room within our bathroom.... looks more like a sauna room to me...
kongkong looking so relaxed....
the nespresso machine which i saw in the room....  i fell in love with this machine...  hmm... i'm considering buying this machine...

the night view from our room...  not so fantastic this time, since the city room was not available at the point of check-in and we didn't want to wait for the city view....
kongkong, mama and amanda before they left....
daddy came to meet us after work, which was quite late that friday...
our room number....  tower 2...
magazines from mbs, for my leisure reading...
 
 
beautiful sunrise....  daddy woke me up early in the morning to view this scene which lasted only a few minutes... but i managed to capture it on my dummy camera...  the effect would have been much nicer if taken on dslr...
 
darling in the bathtub...
we wanted to take this gondola but changed our mind after seeing how short the ride was (since the "river" was so short)....
skypark on level 57....
amanda having fun with her friends...
hw eating chocolate in our room...  heehee...
we ordered take-away from coffee bean, and had dinner in the hotel room as it was so crowded downstairs and were quite lazy to drive out for dinner... and kiddoes preferred eating and watching tv in the room....  :)
cheers!
my coffee bean cheese cake with espresso coffee (from the nespresso machine)...  didn't take a picture of the scones...
at the valet waiting for our car....
daddy and i having breakfast at rocky master after dropping amanda off for enrichment...

a little gift from a 4 year old.....
hw drew this when she reached home and gave me this drawing... so sweet of her....  a picture of us in the hotel room having our dinner...  she told me she enjoyed herself so much that night... can you imagine what a lasting impression it left on a little 4 year old girl?...  :))
