Lunar New Year's round the corner... 3 more days in fact!
Wish all you ppl "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and for this year "Good luck and embrace ur jobs"!
Boss just declared tmr off... sadz!
Cuz i need to work alternate sats and tomorrow is actually my work day, which means next week no need to work and going down the calendar… I will have 6 long weekends to enjoy! But now since the shift is being pushed down… SHIT! All my long weekends becomes short weekends liao. %^)($*(@#_$*(^
We dun usually get bonus "half days off" except for recent months… since all the celebrations and buffets have been dispensed with, due to the economic crisis. Oh well, hopefully the company’s ang pow will not "giu-zwee" this year.. I remember getting $100 for CNY "start work ang pow" last year.
Sighz, this year no ang pow to collect from relatives..
here’s a shout-out for them: "Hey u lucky people! This year no need to bao ang pow for me, damn shiok hor u people!!!!"
Was discussing abt Ang pow money with my ex-colleagues during our meet up recently. 3 of us got married last year so this year is our 1st year distributing (sarcastically used here) ang pows.. We were talking about how much did we prepared in total.. And M actually said $1K!! Im like…. Wah!!!!" I duno abt my own.. hubby prepared all…
Last night was hubby's birthday.. brought him to Restaurant Ember at Keong Saik Road.
The food was nice.. not that FANTASTICALLY good lar.. but all the raves and reviews abt that place gave me high expectations, which they just managed to hit.
We had Pan-fried Foie Gras, Angel Hair Pasta for appetisers, Black cod and Chilean seabass for main, and Apple Tartin + Vanilla ice-cream and Banana Tart + Lavender ice-cream for desserts.
Read from reviews that the Lavender ice-cream taste like shampoo, but for me.. its more like Aromatherapy Oil ><'"
Total spending is $165.00, its abt 20% cheaper than Vis-a-Vis at Bukit Timah.. but we both agreed that Vis-a-Vis has nicer food. Ambience wise, Ember is stronger and more romantic.
Hubby and I have been into French Cuisine lately.. You can call us Foie Gras Connoiseurs already!
Sian... no mood to work!!! Too looking forward to CNY! Huat aR!!!
Happy new year everyone!
