Sun, Sand, Sea and Spaghetti

April 20, 2008

A week ago, I was told to keep my diary free on Saturday, because i had a date! OOooooooOoooo…. I got picked up around 11:30am, and was told to dress for the beach! When i got in the car, looked behind, and there packed and ready was a picnic basket and mat! OOoooooo…..

I later found out Wayne actually COOKED LUNCH! Shock Horror! Am sure his mum would be very proud to read this!

Sentosa is changing so much it’s hard to keep up with new attractions and restaurants , so I’m glad we had a chance to go in the day when there was light!

We found a nice spot under the coconut tree (with no coconuts of course), and got comfy. Wayne took out his homemade spaghetti, warning me that it’s not that great, and how we might have to eventually buy something from the nearby restaurant. My final verdict? Nothing short of F A N T A S T I C! I was honestly impressed. I’m not sure if its a good thing for him though, this means he can’t be excused from cooking duties in the future.

We spent the next few hours with me lying on his lap while we watched the days go by watched a couple of boys TRY to pick up three boobie-ful girls in bikinis. Entertaining!

It was the simplest of afternoons, and i loved it.

See, girls aren’t that hard to please right?

I Love Girls

March 7, 2008

We did alot of shopping between us last weekend, and I just felt like buying Wayne something. We were browsing through the racks at the originals store at Pacific Plaza, when I saw this fantastic t-shirt.

I ABSOLUTELY love it! It’s so cute! Especially that lipstick print on the collar!

And of course the day isn’t complete without Portia and Cassius greeting us with kisses when we got back.

Guitar Hero

January 7, 2008

My name is Angela, and I am addicted to Guitar Hero.

Since we were all in ROCKER mode, we decided to take some rocker shots. Ok this is embarrassing, but only after 5mins did Wayne tell us we’re doing the wrong hand sign! Instead of the horns/devil hand sign, we were doing the “I love you” sign. Lose…

Ok! How embarrassing! At least we got this one right!

It’s so addictive Wayne comes over every other day, just so we can unlock more songs. We have currently finished medium level on Guitar Hero 1 and 2.

And as much as Wayne hates to admit it, I’m better than him at Guitar Hero too.

Happy Birthday to me! - 8 Nov

November 10, 2007

Besides dinner, i spent most of my time at home. The AM was spent doing Rosco things, by lunch I was starving for some hot home cooked food. My mum volunteered to cook Xiao Long Bao, on the condition we helped her out.

By 2pm, my sister and i were covered with flour from all the rolling and folding.

Note: this was our first try.
They look pretty bad! The juices all escaped, the skin was too thick, the xiao long baos got stuck to the linen. But trust me, it tasted quite good! At least they were edible.


My mum made a secret cake for me too! Secret because she wouldn’t tell us what its made of. After that, it was a short game of MahJong before i had to get ready for dinner.

Wayne made reservations 2 weeks ago, and tried his very best to keep it a secret. And me being me, I love guessing him out! He ignored my attempts, but apparently I got it on the second try!

We went to Mortons steakhouse for some juicy steaks (duh!)

I must say, Mortons really went out of the way to personalise for the occasion. My menu was personalised, I had a picture taken, plus a free slice of cheesecake with a candle on top! I had party sprinkles on my table (probably also a cue for the staff to sing Happy Birthday). By the way… there were 6 other people celebrating their birthdays on that day, so it was kind of funny seeing them going table to table.

So all in all… I’ve had a fantastic birthday dinner, and Wayne was such a sweet heart. I’ve past the quarter century mark, and now its all downhill from here.

Love is…

October 8, 2007

…your boyfriend sending you to work on a Sunday evening, and staying with you till the wee hours in the morning, just to keep me company. He insists on sending me home as well, just to make sure i’m home safe and sound.

It’s 1:23am and he’s now sleeping on my office’s IKEA chairs, waiting till i finish my reports. The poor poor boy must be so tired.

1hr 23mins ago, he wished me Happy Anniversary for the 4 years 4 months we’ve been together.

How can i not be love with such an amazing human being.

Date post mortem

June 11, 2007

Dinner was at a Japenese BBQ restaurant in Chijmes called Gyu Kaku.

We weren’t sure what to order, so we left it to one of the waitstaff to surprise us.

He brought out aparagus, mushrooms, garlic prawns (its the 4th year, we don’t care if we get bad breath on a date at 4 years), Wagyu beef, pork strips, chicken teriyaki, Japanese salad and rice.

You can’t have BBQ food without some BEeeer! 2 Mugs of Asahi please!

So how does it work? They bring out your food raw and seasoned, and all you have to do is chuck it on to the grill in front of you for a couple of minutes. It’s great because i can burn the steak the way i like it! If you want to try this place out, i highly recommend the wagyu beef…SO tender, juicy, and fatty.

We were so full we decided to walk round the premises, hand in hand, just chatting and joking. And that by itself, is a perfect date. 4 years on…and i still love my big grumpallofagus…very very much!

Mr. Turner has arrived

May 29, 2007

Prelude
Hey all. It has finally arrived. Gone are the sleepless nights, gone are the nightmares of lost delivery packages, gone are the empty sinking feelings I have when I watch mountain bike DVDs or look at others’ stoke mountain biking pictures, gone are the times that Gilbert has had to run and hide when he saw me approaching his shop and gone are the days of waiting by the phone for that one call to end my torture. For the light has finally shone on me and my Turner RFX has arrived!

Breakfast at Ghim Moh

May 21, 2007

Wayne’s on leave today, so we had breakfast together at Ghim Moh Market Hawker Centre. Smsed Janice, but she already left for breakfast at Raffles Place, oh well, next time.

2 Set A’s
2 soft boil eggs + Kaya Toast + Kopi
2 soft boil eggs + Kaya Toast + Hot milk

Kaya toast, a traditional breakfast dish. Kaya is a sweet coconut and egg jam, and this is spread over toasted bread. Combined with a cup of local coffee and a half-boiled egg, this makes a typical Singaporean breakfast.
-courtesy of wikipedia-

I can really get used to this…

Something to note: Wayne is ALOT less of a Grumpaloffagus in the morning if he is fed breakfast, good to know…good to know.

Wayne P’s B Day

May 18, 2007

Was a quiet one for Wayne’s 29th birthday, compared to the Surprise MacDonalds Party we organised last year. This time it was alot less planning, just had to make a reservation and give strict orders that I will be settling the bill. Under no circumstances does anyone else touch the bill. I was still spotty then, which explains why there isn’t a picture of me in the gallery. But here’s a lovely picture of the pereira siblings.

Wayne was Boared

April 26, 2007

We went to Pengerang over the weekend, and it was from BOARBORING, here’s how the day unfolded. The first part dictated by Wayne…

We got off to an early morning start at Changi Ferry Terminal and then proceeded to catch a 1 hour bumboat ride across to Pengerang. After the whole gang was rounded up, we made out way towards Sungei Rengit Town.

We were told that we would be taking the “off-road” way there but it was mainly mixed tarmac and fire roads with a bit of climbs (2 to be exact) and mostly flat terrain. We were cycling through the oil palm plantations and some back roads when tragedy struck.

The group was divided into three packs. The front group were all the navigators and path finders, the middle were the sight seekers and the last, leisure riders. Mid-ride, Angela came round the corner to see the whole group gathered around me and Max on the floor. There was an attack…by a wild boar!

The wild boar charged out of the vegetation and my bike took the full brunt of its impact while Max got some if its deflection as it ploughed through the both of us.

Thank goodness for all those mountain bike magazines he has been reading, he knew the correct method of falling by tucking his head inwards and rolling. Although he did get thrown off the bike, and hit the ground head first, he was very much in one piece.

Wayne seemed a bit stunned and aside from some bruises and cuts, he didn’t seem to be too seriously hurt. However, little could be said about his wheelset, front disc brakes and helmet.

After a quick MacGyver fix of the wheelset and removal of the front brake (yes he rode the remaining 20km plus with one brake and a broke wheelset!), we were off.

I’ll save you the long story of how the rest of the trip went; you can get the idea by looking at the pictures.

And of course a video that summarises the whole trip in 5 mins

Dirtraction’s Inaugural Race

March 29, 2007

Krankin’ at Kent Ridge, Sunday 18 March 2007, organised by Dirtraction

photo courtesy of Seh Suan

I took part in this years Kent Ridge race…again… i guess i never learn my lesson. This is my second race and i did ZERO training for it, besides usual weekend easy rides.

This year, we saw 128 cyclists signing up for the race, which i think is fantastic! Unfortunately, there’s always lacking participation in the women’s. I came in FOURTH……. out of FOUR! HAhahhaa….so basically i was last. But that’s ok, i’m really happy with my timing. I can confidently say i cleared all technical downhills with ease, which did help me catch up with the girls, but what totally killed me was those two killer climbs!!!

My Time: 0:49:56
0:02:47 behind the next rider

I reckon i should seriously train before races like this, i nearly killed myself krankin up “heartbreak hill”.

MAP OF RACE COURSE
a) BIG LOOP (Men Open, Masters, Senior A & B, Women Open) 1.83km RED
b) SMALL LOOP (Boys & Girls DIV A & B) 1.6km BLUE
c) KIDS COURSE (Kids DIV C & D)

To all the ladies who were brave enough to tackle Kent Ridge, Athena, Cheng Yin and Wendy, you rock! WE rock!

And of course to the race organisers Dirtraction for a fantastic job building, rebuilding, and maintaining the trails.
