Eighth Wonder’s Big Reveal

October 31, 2006

The best part about working in a public relations company, is knowing all the juicy information before anyone else does. Today Eighth Wonder unveils their concept behind “Harry’s Island”.

I wouldn’t usually blog about work, but this account is terribly exciting, and since the secret is finally out, here are some visuals to give you sneak peek of what could be…

Black Angus & Arab Street

October 25, 2006

I had a fantastic Sunday, Wayne and i spent some good ol alone time, just him and me. Was helping out a friend with a photoshoot the whole day, so after sucking in my tummy for so long, it was time to let go by the time evening arrived. We headed down to Stuart Andersons Black Angus at Orchard Parade Hotel for some steak!

Just to get you salivating…
What we had for dinner:
TOP SIRLOIN
A lean, full-flavored top sirloin, hand-cut, char-grilled to order and brushed with seasoned steak butter.

SIDES
Steakhouse Fries
Garden Salad
Hot bread & Butter

After dinner, we headed over to Arab street for some grape shisha and coffee. Soon, the eye lids started feeling like lead, and we were ready to head home and nap for awhile before saying good night. It might sound boring to you here, but it was one of the best evenings i had. Lots of laughter and gazing into each others eyes.

Newton Nastiness

October 24, 2006

Wayne picked me up after a late night at work for some supper at Newton Circus. And i was horrified to see my face blown up 500% on the wall! And of all pictures, they blew up this one, the one i didn’t particularly like. So if you see a hideous picture on the wall at Newton, try to hold down the sambal stingray & hokkien mee you just ate!

Marina South Steamboat

October 24, 2006

Last Sunday night, Wayne, Joshua, Annissa and i went down to Marina South for Dinner. Why haven’t i discovered this place before?! It was fantastic! Each table had a steam boat and korean BBQ set up, and the choice was between a tom yam or chicken soup. A buffet set up with raw and cooked food for your taking at just 12 bucks…

We ate crab, prawns, teriyaki & sesame chicken, fishballs, mushrooms, omellettes, toufu, vegetables, and to top it all off, a redbean potong ice-cream.

Happy Diwali !

October 20, 2006

We went to Mustafa on Sunday to look for some industrial safety goggles, and i was totally blown away! Not only is Mustafa 24hours, but its HEEuuugee and packed with anything and everything.

I absolutely loved the street light displays this year on Serangoon road, the best i’ve seen in recent years. I’m definately going back there again soon!

Wishing all my friends and blog stalkers a Happy Diwali!

Yesterday, we had jandrew join us at BT with their spanking new Scandals. They were really stealthy buff bikes, which is such a contrast to Janice’s personality, who’s soft, gentle and bubbly! And andrew was definately back from the dark side, hopping over every curb and bump.

Roses & Lilies

October 15, 2006

Last week, i was feeling like a 3/10.

The very next day, I received a beautiful surprise at work with the envy of my colleagues. Now this person must know I dislike the typical bunch of red roses with baby’s breath…because this arrangement had pink roses, white lilies, dark pink accompaniment buds with green wrapping paper.

The note read: Dear Angela, Just thinking of you. Love Wayne.

I loved it, and I love him.

Feeling like a 3/10 today

October 4, 2006

It’s one of those days…where your world goes all concave, and you feel like crawling into a dark hole and staying there with your thumb in your mouth.

Maybe sob a little and feel sorry for yourself, and think, since i’m already stuck in this melancholic rut, i may as well drown in my own self pity. Oh…and you must listen to some downer music too! Coincidently i had “Sad Piano” playing on the ipod…how appropriate.

Dammit Angela, snap out of it already *smack smack*

Mountain Biking - 30 September

October 2, 2006

Are you guys getting bored of my mountain biking posts yet??? Well here comes another one.

On Saturday, it was Me, Wayne, Josh, Janice, Hansel and Shem on the trails. Me and Janice felt like doing a time trial, just to see how fast we can do the loop, but half way through, something just didn’t feel right. The haze was really affecting my breathing, and i felt like my lungs were on fire!!

So we stopped back at the carpark, when it started to rain. It wasn’t a downpour (yet!) so …….. we tried the loop again. This time with much success. The ride ended with a massive downpour, which left all of us drenched and waddling in pools of water at the carpark.

Ride Time: 26min 0s
Distance: 5.8km
Calories: 358kcal
Max HR: 93
Avg HR: 79
Avg Speed: 13.8 km/h
Max Speed: 32.9km/h
