Spaghetti For An-De-Lu!

Enough said, I wanted to cooked for a very long time. Since I still had the balance ingredient dinner he made me last Thurs, I decided it's time Fina makes full use of her skills to turn into a non effortless handmade dinner for him. 'Prawn Spaghetti'. The only seafood that he takes, Prawn. And so I made a decent dinner for him today. As much as I tasted, it I felt it's alright for me. Well, if you want to know more, free to ask the Man himself!

The ingredients:

onions chopped fine,

mushroom pork balls,

angel line spaghetti,

fresh prawns,

Prego

Big chunky prawns


not enough, let me show you the 'Prawn' up close..hahaa

I used margarine instead of cooking oil ( super conscious ) , lots of effort, and finally a hungry stomach to fill it in. And so, this was the final result.

This is mine,

That is yours :)

you've got so many prawns..

What's your verdict Dear? I hope you enjoy..

'Fina's Special Prawn Spaghetti'

Okies, chef is tired now. Yahoo!! Liverpool won again ;) Goodnitez..

Spaghetti Feasta!

Sometimes, you know you got to give the man some credit. And so, I will give my Man the credit! He's amazing! Haha. He made me a lavish dinner lash night out of my surprised. So nice I mean very nice! I am surprised and touch of course. How nice everyday got free meals.....
I must be dreaming in my own world. Haaha. So ...

Dearest Andrew,

Thank you for the wonderful Spaghetti. I like and enjoyed it much! I really do.

Love,
Wantanmee -.-

Sunday with Andrew

It's Sunday. And so, how do I spend this precious off day? With Dearest Andrew! Nice and sweet. Not always we can see each other and spend quality time as work is the barrier between us. Got up pretty early this morning. We attended mass and heed down to Joo Chiat Road for lunch. Initially, it was supposed to be some adventure searching for Hajah Maimunah's Nasi Padang. After much talk and anticipation I decided it's time we should try something different hence we should go with it. But disappointed as it is the restaurant was close since Raya. In the end we end up at Wheelock Place, Orchard. It's been twice in a row since I was at Orchard as well yesterday. We settle for something which apparently I think it's health; Cedele.

Very well said, 'Eat well, be well'. Andrew had chicken mayo sandwich while I had cloud 9.

Mango Sorbet

I swear, this is the best sorbet I've ever ever tried! Really ;] I didn't really enjoy my drink because it taste shit! I has Green Tea Mocha while he had Chocolate Addiction.

My shit drink, Green Tea Mocha!

After that we stroll around suggesting and thinking what we're going to get our parents for Christmas so need some look see, look see survey. We settle for a movie. It was a tough one choosing between MBFG and House Bunny.

MBFG

The movie was just so-so. Didn't really make a big impact either. It was like those normal kind of girl/boy relationship. We end the day with dinner at Express Teppan-Yaki over at Food Republic. It was pretty interesting the way they prepare the food.

Some vege..

Bean sprouts...

Main course

Thank you, Dear!

It's been 10months, 10days

Two more months and it's end of year 2008. Vividly I still remember during Uni days, how I wish I would live the life I have always wanted to be. My aim, complete my decent education and earn a living on my own. This ego of mine, wanted so much to live and earn my very first pay cheque. My most substantial reason; re-pay my parents contribution and upbringing me all these while. The very fact I knew that the relationship that I had with my parents are so strong and deep inside, it's my Dad that he can't let go of me till this very day. Sometimes, there's many memories and many wonders that come across of me. During Uni there's always friends, and now in the corporate whole, most of my time are taken by my nature of work. I got to be honest, I LOVE my job. But at the same time, it's also the market that would determine my 'rice bowl'. At this point, economic is not really in a good tumour. Been alert that recession is hitting and definitely we can see the impact by now. Within 10 months; in my corporate world, the naive once I was an adult I can bravely proclaim. I have confidence when I speak. And I can make my own judgement and decisions using the knowledge, experience and mistake I've learn. Just when I heard acquaintance and friends complaining how incompatible their work and nature has been well, deep inside I can smile and say 'Hey, Fina thank the Lord you have a good day and you brace it through!'. For the past months, I knew I had been working hard and I meant my effort not wasted. 2008 has been the highlight of my Career, Family, Love and Life. You know, up to this day, there's still one thing that I never fail to miss. My Dad. And deep inside I knew that he misses me much even though he knows that I am safe in Andrew's arms. Cause I am Dad's big baby ;] It wasn't easy when I first told him that I wanted to earn my first decent pay cheque in Singapore. The fact I knew he would be worried on my accommodations/travel/ society and environment. I have to say that I owe my partner, Andrew a big time for going through trials and tribulations in those very depress and hard times. It's also the Bonus 'Q' when the time comes, and so if Andrew has made up his mind to Calgary, Canada am I ready to follow. I have no doubts. But I am not certain. As much as I want us to build a future it's also something I need to know where do I see myself in 5 years from now. Will I be coaching or manage something I want to do in life. One things for sure, I am happy with what God has bless me with. His presence by my side!

What I've discovered*

Remember I'd share bout pumps. It's a nice place to hang out! And also to share their menu and drinks are overwhelm* Very catchy names on it tho.

Menu over at pumps*

My company so generous, kasi moon cake to clients...and it's not cheap okay. Over here the moon cakes are excessively overrated and expensive don't know la why.

Specially design with the company logo!

Andrew got a new toy as well. It's a bitch by the name of Mandy. And it's a Pitt-bull species.

She so cute. I heart her!

Okay la, want to sleep now. It was a horrible day with a horrible freaking client that mess up everything! And I wish to say 'I HATE HER so AND SHE'LL NOT HAVE GOOD BUSINESS IN FUTURE'. Thank you, Amen+

Black or White?

A poem that was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, written by an African Kid.

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored ?

I am amazed with the ability of kids knowledge towards their surroundings and society isn't it? Now, tell me which is which and so the kid does raise some points here. Erm, it'a a quiet weekend thought. I'm freaking bored. Thats it, got to go. Getting ready for pump room. Haha! =p i.e: jakun!

Visit their online profile pages to know them better and discover other bits of info about them. All donations pledged in support of the runners will go towards the cause that they have personally chosen. Every step counts! Die la!!

A Great Day Begins With a Smile : ]

Had a fun weekend! :) Andrew and myself had great times in JB. We had steamboat for lunch at Johnny's. Our lunch was pretty simple yet fun!

nice :)

Their famous Belacan Thai Fried Rice

Hot Soup!

I'm going to wallop you!

Went for shopping at Jusco, Aeon Tebrau City. It's also good to have a change away from the city of Singapore ( Cause it's been a while since we last hang out and also it's BORING in Singapore) Well, how much can you shop in Singapore. And so, we thought that for a change we shall have some time by ourselves away from hectic, work, and also swamps of people. We catch a movie at TGV. Not much of choices as we had already watch 'You don't mess with the Zohans' and 'Meet Dave'. Finally we settled for

'Wall-E'.

This Disney 3-D animation would be best described as the movie for the Dumbs. There's not much of vocab here. Wall-E which stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class is adorable in its character. The HMS:Senior Year will be out this 23 Oct!!! I AM NOT GOING TO MISS THIS!

this was dinner

Okay, i'mm kidding. It would be sad to just have garlic, chille and mayo for dinner.

THIS was Dinner.

But sadly the expectation and verdict were BAD and the food was not fresh!

Finally i am back to the pigeons cage. *sigh*. Also I've been looking for this particular brand call TRESemme.

They used to sell for hair saloon and previously i got them from Watsons. Goodness, damn freaking expensive. I had it for 150 ml at RM 25. Now it's a new repackaging at RM35 for FUCKING 50ml. This is massive change!

But no choice still need this serum! It's super good :) I so heart YOU!!! I hope you had a great day because mine was, definitely.

Also, this is a late one, last week was Andrew's Birthday. We had a gathering just the two of us at Makan Sutra. Shit! Food again. I'm still on my work out till end of the month.

finally..jeng-jeng-jeng..his ideal dream gift>.<

Been away from home for some time and friends as well. Would love to meet up with everyone and everyone. Let's have a GATHERING, anyone?

Charlotte & Ku Cheh

It's been 5 days past. Charlotte has left Auckland for good.
It's also means back to work for me as usual. Well, Charlotte's presence has been the best gift that has happen to my family as well as myself. I do miss her much and love her lots. Now i wonder when will our family be reunite or perhaps i should arise when will i be heading to New Zealand. I do hope soon. It's been a whole long month since i has a great time traveling visiting places with my family, hence now FULL FORCE back to work. It's such a pain after such a long break. Endurable one. I still have something i wan to accomplish in life. Something very much I want to embark in my career. Something no body knows. Haaaha, just me myself and I. Times sure passes fast. Were heeding towards the few balance of the month. I'mm training damn hard. I need to achieve this, DESPERATELY! Greetings to all 'earthlings'. God Bless you!

July Updates!

I am officially back since M-I-A beribu-ribu abad. Work has been good but, so there's a BUT to pause which says in a long term move this practice will make my spirit die. Sometimes, i felt that i am married to my work already. There goes, and i figure what if at this age i should work super duper hard so I can retiree with a bang 15 years from now. By that time i could have enough time to cater my all to family, husband and kids! Talk about family planning, which is so not me. Fine, i am really tired with work but sometimes fun facing these tribulations in life. It's just that in long run, it's going to be so dead boring. I like meeting people. I observe, i learn i reckon the steps in life i could consult and give in the career and path that i have choose. I might not be perfectly right but I take chances. A change would do you good! This is society. This is life. Chances happens only once therefore grab every opportunity that seize. After a hard and long day work you just feel that in need for a good pampering mouthful of words. Perhaps a good bowl of wantanmee would do me good. Ohh please it's FINA. I am blessed. Truly gratefully with the people i have met along the line. Be it in work or in society circles, i look up; adored and can't be thankful enough knowing how blessed am I to have knowledge and shared experience from others knowing i am way far better. My family has reunite finally with the other missing sheep's from Nzealanders. Now, it's going to be tough when the sheep's returns back to Nz in 3 weeks time. Fcuk* I am looking forward for my vacation next week to Phuket! :D

fina is LEAVING for Phuket !!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Far away from all the shits!! Updates soon, *hopefully*

The future of Msia~

I was born and breed in Malaysia. I do love my country, Malaysia. When i think of our culture, i am proud. I am amaze how unique and different each of our individual culture has bring harmonious and excellent unity. But this is back then. Now, looking at the rulings and the whole scenario from day one to now. It just makes one to leave this country. Everything is going up solely. And this happens within a twist of faith. There must be a change in our country. Either our country is a democracy or not it really needs a proper revamp once and for all. It's ridiculous for the impose of RM2.70 per liter when it was only at RM 1.92 back then. How dare, these idiots can say we are still enjoying the subsidy at a cheaper rate of 0.30 cents compare to the retail price at RM3.00 per liter. Well, if this is the case, might as well save up the 0.30 cents that they are giving. A price hike of .78 cents per liter really makes much of a difference. Or I should say, literally it doesn't affect much on those who re not earning in Malaysia? Wrong you! Even though the increase doesn't affect me directly it does dig a big pole of hole to my pocket for the transportation cost i bare. I believe that mos of the transport has take immediate action on the increase of public transportation. A big jump at .78 cents is totally crazy. Malaysia is a country with resources when it comes to petroleum. No doubt it's a heavy burden as we need to export the oil out for refinery thus import it back but this is not the proper channel and way to eat the rakyats fund. What about those family with 4 and more kids above. Have the government put themselves in these peoples shoe considering the fact that they to need a proper budget when everything is increasing but salary is still being paid at the same. With the hike of petrol, food and consumer usage and there's more to come. Our government is just killing the rakyats. We pay taxes alright. It's just a pain in the ass looking at the current situation. No wries, crime rates will increase looking at how they are curbing the rakyats need. Most of the government minister are being subsides it doesn't make a pain for them. We are suffering. First there's corruption now..this is getting worst. Let's just see how the future holds. Well done, PAK LAH!!!

Starting to pissed!

I am so pissed! So annoyed when things that I've done not for my beneficial but for others mislead and I've got told of. In any circumstances, no matter what will happen the female is always on the softer side would still

1. Love
2. Care
3. Know his needs

but when your busy with your work, who cares for me then?

QUESTION MARK!!!

Crab Feasting!

Never in my life, I had the mouthful of crab that I shall not eat for at least the next 6 month! Had a lovely crab feast with my colleagues and Manager as well. There were 8 of us and 3 males which includes Andrew. Aiya..the guys 'lauya' la. Non seafood eaters. We stuff ourselves with lots of food.

Mellben Seafood

Tofu

Bamboo clams!

Fantastic Crab

I had Sri Lankan Crab and it was so juicy. Big chunks of crab claws. I saw heaven! :) .

The Signature Dish!

The suffer part was the bill come up to $500++. It's alright la not always. Well such event only happens once in the blue moon. Anyway it's a nice outing though with colleagues. Work as usual busy with lots of job events going on. Went to IMM this past few days as BF wants to get a printer. In the end we settle for a Canon Pixma MP145 which was affordable today. Had dinner at Pepper Lunch with Andrew. He recommended that this affordable DIY fast food steakhouse originated from Japan which serves their meal in iron pan. The portion is alright and to be honest I find the combinations are quite healthy in term of the dishes and main meals like salmon fish. Also, I got my self a pair of Amber boot cut pants and working skirt from G2000. The sales are on going and it's a good bargain. I am tires. Death sleepy. Ta!ta!
