Finally is my second appt

Finally is my second appt with HDB, getting our keys and planning schedule of renovation proj soon. Planning to look for fengshui master hehhahhaha… (Although I got modern views, but no harm in engaging one.
Also this coming weekend, we are goin to look for aircon (sys 3for 3rms) NT for living room as we opt for a ceiling fan. Certainly nt an inverter as we seldom switch on during nighttime except hot humid days. So many brands as we went to gain city in expo sale, heard Toshiba nt bad... Mmm considering…

A checklist..? for electrical appliances.

Mm.. washing machine (front / top load), fridge (hw big, any additional features???), tv (inch”, led? Hang or standalone) for mil?? Aircon-inverter or nt? Fan (hw big, windy, blades??) Wow, so many brands to look out for. Conclusion; just go for trusty old brands (Jap brand; ensure made in jpn)

Kite Flying Days by NTUC Income (18, 19 Sep 2010 Sat & Sun 4-8pm) at the Promontory @ Marina Bay.

It is my first time to a kite festival.
Heard this event is the second anniversary, missed the first one then cos I wasn’t in sg.
Didn’t know kite flying had become a popular hobby for Singaporeans til recently (think cos of the opening of marine barrage and new towns e.g. Punggol where got large open fields). I rem the last time I ever done tat during my young teens @ marine bay.
Reached the place at around 4plus and it is already crowded with people! People are queuing up for their free NTUC Income kites (goodies bag). While enjoying the sky view scenery full of kites, some of kites fell into the river. And the water dampens the kites n slowly disappear, out of sight. My hubby and I didn’t try to fly ours cos too packed in flying area.
Next time then, I think I reali need to get my hands on the pretty cool kite.

Lightings

Since we r goin to have false ceiling, downlights is a must!! But no cove ones.. Til now then I realize we need so many of them…wow.. Make me think do I really need a false ceiling.
In fact my hubby n I always want to have some designer pieces in our living room like a standing light / designer piece chair??? Think we will shelf them first for time being, seem like our money being flowing out almost everyday

Spent a bomb!

Wow, we spent abt 3k on kitchen / toilet accessories. All those toilets, tapes, sinks, utility hoses, towel bars and hood n hod etc and a built in oven (cos my hubby wan it!! I can foresee myself baking monthly??!! He thinks we still in us.) We get them mostly in stainless steel, no brands. Now then I realized even toilet accessories got brands. Dun knows it how the sum totaled up come about. Scary!!… Wonder how much we goin to spend on other stuffs later on...

Let’s Sweets – Japanese Dessert Buffet in 60 minutes

#02-49 Bugis Junction Singapore Tel: 6338 0187
Daily: 12.00pm–4.30pm, 5.30pm–10pm

Let’s Sweets is Singapore’s first and latest dessert buffet restaurant which promises to inspire and offer sugar rush experience. A refreshing concept of Japanese dessert buffet, priced at $15.80++ for lunch and $18.80++ for dinner during weekdays. It is operated by Japan Foods Holding Ltd, which also runs celebrated brands such as “Ajisen Ramen”, "Fruit Paradise" etc

Walking into e colourful store along the counters of colourful cakes and rows of savoury items. Chefs dressed in white uniform and stood behind counters to prepare handmade crepes with ice cream and ‘dancing’ Yaki Mochi. It is an interesting item to look forward, their famous Japanese street snack, " Dancing Yaki Mochi". The rice balls are slowly and evenly toasted to give a crunchy feel on the outside with a warm and flavourful feel on the inside. These handmade Japanese Mochi are filled with five different flavours comprising of Sakura Cherry Blossoms, Red Bean, Miso, Black Sesame, Sweet Potatoes that rolled into perfect little balls.

A time limit of 60 minutes (80 minutes for dinner) reminded by a baby blue alarm clock.(stress :~( eg:- For a 60mins spread, timer will be set till 50 minutes for diner to take and enjoy the food from the buffet area and another last 10mins is for finishing up all the food on the tables and proceed to the billing.) Eating like a glutton, I got into a sugar high very quickly. And somehow everything from the crepes, chiffon, tarts and mousse tasted the same after the 6th piece.
Savouries such as Japanese Mushroom Spaghetti, Chicken Teriyaki Burger and Takikomi Rice, potato Soup was thick and creamy, with loads of ingredients. The sweet potatoes, rarely used for western soups, were a clever addition for a gentler taste. Cream puffs n mousse are ok.
My suggestion would be to include Hokkaido ice cream and increase the buffet time.
What's not so good; the desserts were mostly of mediocre standard (mass-produced). 2)jellies sucked, should improve on the flavour and quality. The heavy use of gelatin in the jellies made them too starchy.
Faved abt Rouleau au Caramel de salée (Sea Salt Caramel Rolled Cake) - personally i feel soso. Hokkaido Coffee Zenzai is another fave abt, but i cant take coffee stuff. So no comment.

But i feel 1 hoour is so rush for savoury, only 1 HOUR….mean we only can eat n can’t talk or share opinion…what’s the point of paying n can’t enjoy the food or the rest concept in a proper manner. And most of all, u see the ugly side of singaporeans being kaisu hehahahh. U are paying for indigestion!!! More for tea-session.
nt recommended, nt goin for second time too.
