king's laksa steamboat

just a quick post before i go back to rushing my report.

dinner tonight (yesterday) was at king's laksa steamboat, which mum somehow heard of and wanted to go badly. it's at the row of shophouses near serangoon mrt. (sidenote: parking spaces are super limited!) well i don't usually like to eat steamboat and i think it's kinda far (sembawang to serangoon), but i was somehow impressed by this tiny restaurant. 

it was slight cramped, but air-conditioned, probably on full blast cos i wasn't sweating at all throughout dinner, and no weird smelly smells in the air. certain waitresses are quite rude, but the polite ones are pretty okay (like, they'll serve you with a smile and automatically change your dirty plate).

we chose the signature laksa broth and the herbal soup, both tasted quite nice, although the latter didn't really have much herbal taste. 

 

they only have two kinds of desserts. :(

we ordered, 5 or 6 rounds? lol. overall, i think it's a pretty good alternative to other steamboat places like mushroom pot or 天天火鍋, but i'd still prefer chong pang cos of the bbq.

dinner is now $20.80+. and iced tap water is 50c per glass. tsk.

merry post-christmas!

hope you all had a wonderful one with lots of good food and presents! :)

i, for one, had a somewhat boring one. lol. woke up in the afternoon, had pizza lunch, did my report, and then off to ah ma's house for dinner, which was probably the fun-er part of my day.

had a mini celebration on christmas eve, though it felt like any other paktor day. had lunch at vivo's LJS. my fish and SSD's chicken. super like LJS because of its crumbs but the 2pc fish and fries at $7.20 is expensive lor! SSD's only $4.50. how come mcdees' fish is cheaper? o.o

ok bad time to blog cos i'm craving for fries now. and STILL craving for lays salt & vinegar chips. :(

anyway, we had a good 2 hours to spare before our movie, so we went shopping. must have walked the whole of vivocity. and the crowd was horrendous! and SSD bought a shirt. and i didn't buy anything. boo.

watched alvin and the chipmunks: chipwrecked. 

it was.....kinda disappointing. there isn't much singing in this sequel; more on the adventures on the island. but the chipmunks are super cute!! especially theodore. lols. uncle ian's big bird costume was hilarious too. probably can watch if you want a laugh or two.

walked around somemore while we decided on where to have dinner. and finally made up our mind to......go back to cathay for nihon, which, for once, had no queue during dinner time. lol.

see the difference between the 2 salmon sushis?

their raw salmon is sliced sooo thin; i can just dip it in my cup of hot tea and it's cooked. -_-

also got SSD a chain from couplelab for his ring, cos it's easier to hide and he can bluff other girls he got no girlfriend the ring gives him rashes. lol. mainly because he got me TWO presents this christmas! :D

it's the westlife story that i mentioned some time ago. (i didn't say it because i wanted him to buy hor!) he found it on amazon and it's freaking cheap lor! lol. but i appreciate the effort and trouble he went through. muacks!

and he got me the dvd version, which has a hidden footage inside!

i managed to unlock it (very easy) and it was of westlife recording 'seasons in the sun'. shuai!

and the next present he gave me, was this bling bling guess watch.

love the bag watch! ^^ looks very expensive right?! lol. he actually won it in his company's christmas lucky draw lah, and it's for ladies. SO I TAN DIO!! *happy face* but too loose for me. it's either i eat fat fat so it'll fit, or i lose more weight so that i can remove one more section of the watch. hmmmm.

anyway, pretty glad i didn't really eat much sinful stuff this christmas season. except the pizza. and chicken rice. and the lays salt and vinegar chips that i MUST WILL eat someday soon. last sin was this cheesecake aunt bought. mad expensive, but very rich and nicee. errrr, the strawberry a bit sour though.

alrighty. gonna do report and watch kindaichi now. and maybe get something to eat. lol.

un-boxing my sushi express doll

ok my mind is really tired out from the strategic management report, so i'm gonna take some time off to blog. and since i have nothing to blog about, i shall blog about something really boliao. like un-boxing the sushi express doll i got earlier. :)

 

we had SE for dinner just now, and they have this 'promotion' - $2.50 + 10 plates = 1 doll. well 10 plates was easy for us; we usually eat more than that. lol. and so, we got a doll! (they have 2 types, one red suit, one green suit. SSD said the green one not nice, so i asked if don't have the red one anymore? he said, still get lor. -_-)

so cute right?! ^^ i would have preferred salmon sushi though. (the other one is fish roe.) lols. pardon if the photo looks abit blur; it has gone through a number of resizing (with layers merged) before i found out it was actually a photobucket problem and not the blogger/photoshop problem i had thought it was. -_-

lalala. CNY is next month! (ok christmas is a few days away but CNY means more to me cos more $$$$!) have you bought your new clothes yet? well, after my last attempt at purchasing clothes online (from a blogshop run by a friend), i kinda told myself not to do that anymore. simply because blogshops like to use models that are petite. which i'm not. and dimensions aren't always accurate.

but one day, i happened to chance upon this blogshop that featured this dress which i kind of 一見鍾情-ed. it wasn't very expensive either. most importantly, the model is also 1.7m tall! i got it in a size bigger just in case (only difference is an inch at the bustline) and regretting it now. it's also quite 'puffy', which obviously makes me look fat. -_- still, i totally like that it's purple, bling bling, and low-cut! so me right?! lol.

ok i'm gonna leave the full dress for CNY, but you could easily see which one i got if you drop by their blogshop.

 

 

 

lol that red thingy is the top i got at bugis last saturday. it's supposed to be a toga, but i think i'll wear it as a tube. :(

anyway, this blogshop is pretty efficient (either that or i was just lucky). i made my payment on 16 dec, it got despatched on 17 dec, and i received it today yesterday (20 dec)! fast or what?

ok i think i'll go back to my report. gambade!!
