My Birthday Dinner At MBS

KongKong and MaMa gave Ee Poh and myself a birthday dinner treat at Rise Restaurant at MBS today.  We love their buffet dinner there as the variety was very good.... Coincidentally, she also managed to get a free room for tonight and tomorrow....  how nice......  Amanda and I didn't stay over as she has enrichment class the next day, so only the 3 Seniors stayed....  *giggles*......

while waiting to be seated
received red packets from kongkong, mama and ee poh.... and lovely pressies from my little darling...  she bought some stuff from the book shop and had them wrapped up...  and also, she placed a little ribbon on the packet of my favourite crackers (which she bought from the school canteen)... awwwww....  so sweeeeeeeeeeet and thoughtful right?
she bought 2 red pens, a little notebook and a cute little key chain from the bookshop
see how the key chain pink matches my compact camera and iphone cover?

After dinner, we went up to the Skypark to relax.....  see how relaxed they were?..........

I was trying out the night scenes on the DSLR but couldn't get it right....  ARGHH!!!  So frustrating....  Guess I've got lots to learn, especially before Hokkaido trip.......

Children's Day Dinner

Daddy and I brought Amanda to Coffee Club for our own Children's Day Dinner for our little darling....
playing with the lomo effects of my iphone...
lomo vs original....  we ordered this extra coffee ribs to share....
amanda's slipper lobster linguine....
daddy's beef, which was a tad too raw for him.....
my beef main course...
a very filling and meaty dinner, so we had no more space for desserts....
but....  still......  i must have my coffee....  so an iced latte for me today....  :)) 


Happy Children's Day & Happy BIrthday Ee Poh

Today is Children's Day and the kiddoes had no school...  So I decided to bring all for lunch to celebrate Children's Day and also to celebrate Ee Poh's birthday a few days in advance.  I brought everyone to Ah Yat Seafood for Dim Sum lunch...  my favourite!  *winks*

Taking snapshots while waiting for the food to be served............
