My 2nd time at Jazz by the Beach to meet up with the former Sentosians. This time, I did take the pictures of the food! With Farah’s Islander card, we only paid about $17 per person for the seafood platter, chicken wings and Snapple! =DDD
Oh and also something to mention about! In case, you have not got a plan for the upcoming Halloween on 31 Oct, you might want to challenge yourself to the spookiest place unveiled right at…PULAU BLAKANG MATI… Check out the video…
Be afraid…Be very afraid. If you think this is just a gimmick that was created to chill down your spine…You’re wrong! Of course, as my blog readers, you will get to know more insider’s info that goes behind this spooktacular!
This event has not been announced on the Sentosa website but as a word-of-mouth publicity in Facebook currently. It’s actually Sentosa’s latest event for the Halloween. (Note: Pulau Blakang Mati was the former name for Sentosa, there is a story to it too, heh~ maybe I can share with you some other time). In fact, the events team did execute some paranormal activities for Halloween 5 years ago. According to an insider’s info (haha! I shan’t cite name lar), coffins were used as props to enhance the creepiness of the event. When the event was over, staff were ordered to remove the props and one of the coffins were said to be very heavy as if something is inside! It’s even added that one of the staff got possessed?!!! Well I won’t say much ‘cause I worked there barely for a year which was like last year? haha…
It seemed like after that spooky incident, there is no more programme for Halloween on Sentosa. At least the last year when I was there, there is no Halloween event and the Sentosa team actually went to Night Safari’s Halloween for “study trip” instead. HAHA!
Now, it seems like the events team is ready to make another daring move again! A very spooky location chosen with extremely ghostly characters looming around the corners waiting to lay their hands on you! I was told that one of the colleagues, who are able to see “things”, has been invited to do a trial walk to mark out the “restricted zones” that should be avoided by the team to place or do anything “disturbing” or “disregarding” to the “tenants” there. Which means to say…you will not know if you’ve actually seen the real or fake thing staring back at you inside there…So, now now…who are ready for a night of…no return? Check the website out for more upcoming details ya! Let me know if you’re going!

Sunday was yet another family day with my mommy treating us to a great feast again! Mind you, it’s only lunch and we spent more than 100 bucks! HEHE~ P.S. we are not rich k! We just love to eat! haha~
It was a chinese restaurant, named Jing Dian Seafood, located at a very ulu place at Sungei Kadut. It was situated right in the IFC (International Furniture Centre) buidling. The centre was like a mini shopping mall but only with furniture shops and it actually provides shuttle bus services from Yew Tee MRT. =)
The restaurant’s signature Lobster porridge! See that big pot on the left? We can’t finish them…
I personally think that the soup is tasty..but I guess the Lobsters were broiled too long and they actually lost their sweetness.
Besides the big pot of Lobsters porridge, we also had Fried Kai Lan and Satay Deer Meat. They were delicious!
I love the mouth-watering Satay sauce but the deer meat is tad too hard to chew…
Now you don’t have to keep waving in hope to get the attention of the waitress…because…TADA!
Press the bill button and your table number will be displayed on the electronic board and the waitress will bring to you the BILL! haha~
Wow, together with the lobsters which I ate last last week in Malaysia…I wonder how high is my cholesterol level gonna be!!! OMG! I’m fatter obviously! But my birthday is coming! HAHA! =D More food!
I used to think EPL is a fun to watch game when you are supporting a team. But it gets irritating and nonsensical when you realised that you are slowly cultivating into a soccer fan. One major behaviour that I SUPER HATE AND DESPISE is humiliation and insults to the other team.
It was never my habit to insult or laugh at other’s teams until people started to humiliate the team I support once and again. And I think it’s an eye for an eye. In fact, moronic fans have their alibi to say that it’s an enjoyment to insult. WOo cool.
Yes! I SUPPORT CHELSEA. Cause that’s the team who dares to admit that they are RICH and depend totally on MONEY to win the champions title. But who fucking care honestly. C. Ronaldo that jackass left MANURE (yes u can flame me i dun fucking care) for that billions of dollars which we might not ever see in our whole lives. Talk about loyalty? LiverPOO has not won the title since trillion years ago, put in more money to buy better talent, please.
YES U CAN TOTALLY FLAME ME AND BAN MY BLOG. But I don’t care.
See that’s how bad an attitude that some fans can get. I’m quoting an example. Hello, you think people don’t call Chelsea as Chelski?
So I have decided that I should slowly detox myself from watching those CUTE GUYS running around the soccer fields and stop watching EPL. Because I don’t want to be cultivated like the majority of the soccer fans who don’t know that they have been acting like immature morons.
10 years ago, we were talking about the cute guy-next-door. 10 years later, we are perhaps now talking about the wedding gowns, husbands, and kids. But pardon me, I’m just the listener most of the time. Well~ It’s so cliché but time really flies so FAST. We have all grown so much older.
Frankly, the topic that has been going round and round my girl friends is - MARRIAGE. Because I have two extreme groups of friends, I can really see the difference between gatherings with the girls and the boys. Even when it comes to twitter or blog or facebook status, or photo albums, they are all about WEDDINGS and MARRIAGE. Alright, it’s not that I’m against it or what, just that…sometimes I thought girls might be a little too obsessed over relationship. And I feel that..when things don’t go the way too perfect…girls got crashed totally. LIKE TOTALLY.
For instance, I used to be envious of friends who got married young…have a loving husband..and a couple of cute sons. But on the other side, they might be envious of the freedom of being a single as well. In fact..I just got a news from a friend of her failed marriage. I don’t call it a failure…but it’s just a marriage that didn’t work out eventually. But I admired her courage to make such a decision against the perspectives of others and to focus on her career. Which also means fairytales don’t always have a happy ending.
Then I have a cousin who is getting married end of this year. She has been waiting for this day to arrive for the past 9 years. And when it finally comes, she is hesitating if this is the right decision. I didn’t comment neither did I give her my advice. I mean seriously, who am I to judge anyway. But because of this ROM thing, she has been feeling so troubled…so troubled.
Then I read about quarrels between friends over wedding preparations and blogs that are COMPLETELY FILLED with only boyfriends boyfriends and ONLY BOYFRIENDS. It makes me wonder…do we girls ever live for ourselves? Like I mean…really for ourselves…our life…our career…What if one day, the relationship or that guy just doesn’t work the way we want it to be, will our lives be totally disrupted? Like what happened to me 2 years back. mmm…
I’ve already lost count the number of times I went Malaysia since May.
After such a long wait for this long weekend, of course, time to get away for stress relief!
At the Pulai Beach Resort…just dropped by because we have no intention to stay over night.
Plus don’t think there is any more room available! And guess what, we bumped into Chew Chor Meng
and his family~
Seafood feast at the Jade Garden Seafood Corner!
Actually there were quite a number of seafood restaurants there and
almost all are accredited by the media. This particular one which we
went was mentioned on channel U’s “Yummy King” before~
The restaurant was damn packed lar! We waited almost an hour
for our food! And everywhere is people standing and waiting for
seats. I was already very hungry when we reached there. I suggest
anyone who’s interested to try out the food there…to have
at least some snacks before heading down.
Then of course, after such a long wait…It’s time to FEAST!
Take a look at the sour and spicy top shell~ It’s actually something like abalone but of course not! Still the sauce ?
is definitely oh-so-tantalising. The spiciness is just right.
But the sambal sotong is pretty normal…
Ladies and gentleman…*drums roll*…please welcome our KING OF the SEAFOOD…THE LOBSTERS!
CHEESE BAKED LOBSTERS!
It sort of reminds of both baked rice and the grilled prawns at Manhattan Fish Market…The sauce on
top of the lobsters is melted cheese. OH HOW FATTENING! One trip can disrupt the long persevered diet plan.
Just look at the mouth-watering juicy fleshy lobsters…
But honestly, I still prefer the original steamed lobsters with the sweetness and freshness wholly preserved.
Then dropped by Sebana resort to “appreciate” the beauty of mother nature and the…err…jetty. Most importantly
is just to use the toilet. haha~
A photo that I will definitely not miss taking! hee~ Fun size me with a fun size hut. I looked gigantic!
Then headed down to Jusco…SHOP, EAT, SHOP, EAT was all we did. (:
Baskin Robbins!
AHHH HOW I WISH THE WEEKENDS NEVER END! :(
Impromptu trip down to Sentosa…
It’s been so longgggggggg. Went for a ride on the Luge & Skyride, did a suntan and then caught up with my former Sentosa colleagues.
Ahh~ Those were the days.
Food at Jazz by the Beach was really good! Especially the ocean catch. Oh man~ I didn’t take photo of the food. =/ But you all must really try the food there! And if you think that dining on the Islan d must be relatively pricey…you’re wrong! the price was pretty average like those at Timbre or some other live band pub.
But the music…to me was okay. ‘Cause many of the songs I’m just not familiar with or perhaps to be exact, don’t know how to appreciate.
Then I had the chance to witness “public proposal” for the very first time in my life! So romantic…of course made possible by the romantic man and the brilliant Sentosa events team. =) I guessed more pictures to come at www.sentosa.com.sg.
-------------------------------------------
Oh the Sentosa trip was yesterday and good times passed too fast. =( It’s Sunday already! And to brush off the pre-Monday Blues…We occupied ourselves by cooking our own lunch. Nothing great…but they are oh-so-delicious. yummy.
Japanese Curry rice with Chicken and Mushroom Pasta soup
Sianz~~ I hate tmr…gonna be a damn stressful day…
I have been missing in action lately..
I have been offline most of the time lately…
I have been very busy lately…
I have not been socialising as much lately…
I have been missing my friends lately…
I have been emotionally depressed lately…
From now on, I need to love myself more than anyone else.
Because, the journey ahead will be as lonesome and tough.
You must be wondering what is in that pix above…
I came across this advert on The Straits Times. Nothing fanciful nor extravagant. A blank page with just a few liners.
But it caught my eyes and I just want to share it here!
Read the text on the 3rd quarter of the page
“When I think of what excites me most it has to be: the 1st time I had sex,
F1, bungee jumping, and leaving this page…blank. What’s yours?”
One liner but strong words. Those words “sex” and “F1” do intrigue your curiosity, don’t they. Admit it.
When you flipped through the endless property launches advertisements on Straits Times, it is sooooo
common for you to see either a full page or sometimes a 2-page spread of full color pictures of HOUSES/PROPERTIES.
Followed by a map with various marks of “proposed MRT/LRT stations” (which has created a big boo-hoo recently).
They are honestly so so so typical and so boring that you just flipped through the pages without taking a 2nd look.
But this advert just caught my eyes…Makes me want to google for more information about The Trizon.
To be honest, I am no property potential buyers so I couldn’t gauge if this advertisement has done its job.
But overall, it does serve the purpose of an advertisement. Capturing your attention and for me – retention of information.
At least I am aware of this property named The Trizon.
Sometimes, I just enjoy the magic of advertising.
Awwww, how i love and miss A&P. =(
