Visit To Bt Batok Fire Station

The long awaited day has finally arrived...  Amanda's visit to the Fire Station together with all her friends!!! Coincidentally, she was also supposed to attend her Prefects' Training session on the same day. Thank goodness for her Form Teacher, who was so responsible to arrange for her class of Prefects (12 Prefects altogether in her class) to attend the second half of the Prefects' Training after returning from the Fire Station.... 
didn't know she had taken a photo of herself in the morning before leaving...

New Car and Randoms...

Yeah, I collected my car on Friday evening (21.01.2011)!...  Yes, despite the high COE, I decided to change my car.. but thank goodness, I managed to get a good price for my old car too. In fact, the price I got for my old car was higher than what I was quoted more than 1 year ago! Not bad, huh?  *smiles*

We were not able to collect any earlier as Amanda had Prefects' Meeting in the afternoon and Daddy was busy till 6 plus in the evening...  Had a late dinner at a restaurant in West Coast after collecting car...
penang fried kueh teow...  fuyong egg...
amanda's favourite sweet and sour pork..
delicious food to start off our weekend!
Dinner at Mellben...
the crabs were really huge today... each weighing around 1.7kg...

After school lunch at Pepper's Lunch
amanda's beef....
my eel set...
Dinner at Crystal Jade Restaurant...
seafood hor fun was a little overpriced at S$16+++ for a single serving and tastes so ordinary...  the 3-eggs veg was much nicer...
kong bak... 

Daddy loved this dish... hence i decided to learn how to cook this dish... googled for some good recipes, tweaked here and there and i came out with my very own yummy kong bak which Daddy and Amanda love so much...  Kongkong and Mama said it was yummy too! will post a picture of it the next time i cook it... forgot to take pictures of the food the past few times i made this dish...

Kaela's Birthday, The Heart Bistro & Kim's Korean

We attended Kaela's 4th Birthday party on Saturday... How time flies. It seemed just a while ago when she was born, and now, here she is chatting away like a little adult...

Sunday Brunch at The Heart Bistro with Amanda.... our first time here, and we enjoyed the food, ambience and service so much... <3  Followed by dinner at Kim's Korean Restaurant...  Today's dinner wasn't too satisfactory. The food standard has dropped, and Daddy said his pork hotplate was slightly cold, when served too...  Also, when I asked if they would be serving us with fruits and my favourite cinnamon tea, the girl replied curtly "Yes, but you have to wait."...... What an answer!  Hmmm...  time to boycott this place for a while...
my starters... caesar salad... 
amanda ordered from the kids' menu... beefball spaghetti...
my main course, beef cheek... absolutely tender and yummy...
i chose date pudding with ice cream for my dessert...  heavenly... yumzz....
coffee to go with my date pudding...
amanda pinching the ice cream from me... 
dinner at kim's....  look at our appetisers...
seafood pancake...
amanda enjoying her favourite korean rice...  just give her a bowl of korean rice with beef bulgogi and she will be a happy girl...  heehee....  :))
