How much can 3 girls spent in Swee Choon??

everyone is How?
I am so living my holidays well & I'm loving it!
My mantra for basically all the holidays:

Credits Credits Credits

Work as in currently my part-time job. I am very thankful to be working in that shop because I like it! There's something to do (although at times when I've completed my stuff & there's nothing else to do) & my colleagues are nice people! I am able to click with them very well. :D
So therefore the working environment is suitable for me! I foresee myself working there for a long period of time. :D I'm already at my 9th month working there! Go for 1 year!

Play as in gaming, shopping, going out with friends, attending events & maybe party? Hahaha it just involve draining my energy.

Rest as in just staying at home. I can sleep in, without alarm clock. I can wear pyjamas & eat breakfast food for lunch. Even lying on my bed using my phone or whatever I feel like doing.

It's all about balancing these 3. WORK, PLAY, REST, REPEAT.

So yesterday I went out with 2 of my sisters, Eve & Pauline.
The 3 of us are going out more often than in the past! But I always kena because I'm the youngest..
The 1st stop we went was ION Sky. The lift up is very dark, which gave it a mysterious feeling for me. But it'll be better if it's transparent but I'm sure a lot of shoppers will complain.
Our ears were blocked as we ascend, kinda like the feeling I had when I take cable car.
The viewing area is super cold (probably because I wore sleeveless) but Da Jie wore sleeves & she felt cold too, so it wasn't me. :P
It is BEAUTIFUL up there. Okay maybe beautiful is not the descriptive word to use because all you can see are buildings and a jungle (forest?) towards Malaysia.
But it's STILL pretty cool to see Singapore from ION Sky. There's also a device that allows you to zoom into the places you wanna see. BUT, it's not always available. WHAT.

Scenery were shot using my new iPod Touch! Same quality as iPhone's ^^

The shots were not bad, I'd say! :P

This is the device!

It was my 1st time up there so I took quite a few photos...
& there weren't many people as well! I hope it stays like this. Because I foresee there will be a queue formed and guards to usher the number of people going in, issuing passes to go up.
Of course, we couldn't missed taking shots of ourselves right? xP

The lighting is perfect!

By coincidence we wore the same shoes! Twin sync xP 

Many thanks to the girl who helped us that the photos! We disrupted her during her 'play' on the device.. Sorry..

We didn't stay long there because there wasn't really much to do, except for photo-taking & the view.
There was an ION Art I think, a mini gallery. I took some that I fancy.

Then we proceed to The Cathay for waffles!!
& I gotta say, Eve's sense of direction is improving!! I'm so happy for her! xP
When we arrived, whoa, there was a Cosplay event going on.
Of course our eyes wander here and there. Thought I could spot my Cosplay acquaintance but nope, I didn't.
I don't know many Animes so I cannot identify many of it. We spotted Spirited Away's NO-FACE.

Credits

The person caught all 3 of our attention hahaha.
I saw Deadpool, & it's true what they say: There's always a Deadpool in Cosfests.
Waiting for him to grab my boobs only. HAH JUST KIDDING.
Many realistic cosplayers too! & it isn't only limited to Animes, I see men dressed in army suits, fake blood, etc.
Thankfully we don't have to wait very long for seats because we only have half an hour to eat before our movie starts.

I ordered plain waffles with chocolate sauce topped with Strawberry Yogurt ice-cream

Eve ordered same but with salted caramel sauce and Matcha ice cream, whereas Da Jie got same as me but with Macadamia ice cream

It was tasty but not worth the money.
While waiting for all of our waffles to arrive, the service staff ask us if we mind giving 1 table to the customers beside us because they have more than 5 people and there's only 1 table.
So we have to shift to the left to make space for them because the table were turned horizontally.
Let me see if I can visualise:

The staff asked us in a nice tone & we couldn't reject either. Those customers were middle-aged family members. They didn't even ask us if we mind or what. I was rather annoyed because they didn't thank us. The woman heard me & then thanked me. Well.

I wanted to take a picture or two with the Cosplayers but we were running to catch our movie.
What movie are we watching??

Credits

I am more of an acting-more-than-animation kinda person, but Spongebob Squarepants is my favourite cartoon character!!!
& Eve wanted to watch it as well so why not hehehe.
Unfortunately.. it's kinda disappointing.. Well what can I say, it's a children movie. Thought, I must admit, I laughed at some points in between the movie. :D
6/10 Sponges & I added 1 because it's contains 'wtf' elements that really makes you go 'wtf??'

After the movie we headed to Swee Choon for dinner!!
It was drizzling when we're en route but thankfully we were under shelter when it started raining.
& damn the queue is LONG, no surprise because it's a weekend.
We waited for, I guess, half an hour? Because we got a table.
The use of technology and service is excellent!
Food arrived shortly and the ambiance is nice as well.

We were missing the Siew Mai because we were starving & tired of waiting so we dug in before the last dish arrived.
Everything you see here + the Siew Mai is a must order!!
My favourite dish is the Ha Gau & the Deep Fried Dumpling!
It was so scrumptious, we couldn't finished whatever it on the table..
Oh we also had dessert: Mango Sago with Pomelo! The pomelo was bitter though.

When we called the bill, we were is SHOCK.
I think I received the biggest blow hahahahah!
The total amount was $73.30?!?!
That's like $5 less when I ate with my colleagues & there's 6 of us!
I couldn't comprehend the digits right before my eyes..
How can 3 girls ate $73.30 worth of dim sum?!?!
Wow I guessed we really pushed our limits huh?
We just add the quantity like nobody's business without calculating the amount before we submit the order chit.
But then again, I wish I can do this when I grow older ^-^.

FOOD COMA, there's what Swee Choon gave us.
Oh, & pocket burnt, not forgetting that.

We went to Mustafa because we have nothing better to do and we wanted to walk.
Felt like a glutton after that heavy dinner.
During the journey home we played a game on Eve's phone. The game is like vocabulary/thesaurus game; where you have to pick the same meaning as the word on screen.
I can't believe we worked our brains after dining at Swee Choon because our energy were depleted, we were exhausted and the words were alien to us.
Eve even dreamt in the train because she's that drained.

I mentioned before I liked spending day out and at the end of the day, my body is drained out right? I enjoyed 14 March 2015 ^-^.
Let's do this more, sisters! ♥

Malaysia getaway

Hey hey ho ho everybody!
How're you doing? Good?

I have 3 4 pending blog entries.. 
Finally have the time to sit down & write; I might go binge-blogging (is there even such things?), I'm not sure.
Holidays so far is good to me, my schedules are packed which means I am occupying with events & things. I love it when I have a healthy holiday: no assignments/homeworks/tutorials, just play, play & PLAY!!!
& by healthy I meant there are rest days at home as well as going out to enjoy.
There was a few holidays last years where I went out every single day for a whole week. No time to rest.
So I'm glad I am using up my holidays well. Except for the fact that my schedule is so busy that I have no time to take up a part-time job, I can't commit. :(
If only there is a flexible job out there, please appear in front of me!

Anyway, this post is about shopping & food!!!
In Chinese, 吃喝玩乐 (eat, drink, play).
Unfortunately... the place we went in Malaysia is KSL (the nearest to Woodlands Checkpoint) & there wasn't much to shop...
The whole day I only spent on a jacket because we went to catch a movie.
Oh, pardon me. I forgot to introduce: the Douches, Natalyn & I went over to our neighbour country to let our hair down & hopefully do some cheap shopping.
John got my hopes high.. He said the clothing there are dirt cheap. NOO... But please bring me to Bangkok :D
My money were mainly spent on entertainment & food, which is perfectly fine with me because.. I love them both!!
I was soooo stoked because it was my 2nd time going to M'sia with my friends!!! (my family rarely travel. Yeah, evening to our neighbour)
So we grabbed something light to eat before exploring the mall.
We bought Banana Nutella crepe!!
It was hella tasty!! Dang it I can't believe I didn't snapped the foodo. I think there is a branch in Bugis Street..
Well, there's no foodo, but Renwei's vlog will do right?

Not enough? Okay hold up, I got 1 more.

Yup, that's our vain douche, the leader of the ring.
We walked around, look at clothes, I think there is 2 parts in the mall: the expensive part & the cheaper part.
Well.. nothing caught my eye.. Or maybe because I'm afraid to buy clothes when there is guys around?
Don't get me wrong: I am comfortable being around them. Maybe is shopping wise? Don't ask me.
But seriously, I don't see anything that will make me go 'omgosh should I buy this? It's so nice!! Should I, should I?? Aiyah just buy lah I'm reckless anyway.'

Saw this in a shop that I find pretty cool. Chinese translation: The gorilla inside you is called a monster

After a round of exploring, we went to have Mexican food!! YAY FOOD!!!
Sadly.. it doesn't have a strong Mexican cuisine in their menu.. Because we see pizzas, sushis, and other non-Mexican dishes.
We bought items and shared. I love it when I'm out with my friends & we order food to share. Like, it feels like family (Ohana means family).
Then the bill can split equally, no need to count this count that so much.
Here are the foodos:

EL MIGOS

Just flipped to a random page

My mango peach, John's oreo milk, Nat's Cappucino (I think)

Renwei's only glass of plain water..
And yes John and Kel purposely pose like that

Kel's... don't know what he ordered oops

This.. is actually quite nice. Looks like KFC's BBQ Meltz

And this pizzadilla is not too bad

The cheese fondue..

This cheese fondue right, is.. I'd say not worth the money.
The taste of the cheese is weird, like really doesn't taste like cheese. I dunno if it's 'Mexican cheese' that taste different from the cheese I eat, but after 3 dips, I ate the ingredients bare. (Look at that layer of oil..)

Was wondering whose burden hands were those, then it's actually mine.. 

Renwei x John x Kel

WHERE'S THE FOOD

Nat x Zen

He requested the photo..

I forgot whose phone he used for his (shameless) selfies, but trust me, there's WAAAY lot more of his solos hiding in the phone. I didn't post it all up for the consideration of you guys. xD

There was music playing & this dude was, I think drowning in his fantasy, and singing along to the song.

Conversations were flowing smoothly & jumping here & there, I loooove it.
The food was fairly cheap, service was above average. :D
I'll rate it 2.5/5 Pizzadillas.
Will I come again, most probably not.

(Let me retrace the order of events)
Ah okay, after lunch we decided to catch a movie, and the film we watched is:

The cinema cut the movies on 2 scenes!! Hey!!
But you get what you paid for.. Oh well.
There was a lot of gore & coarse language. Like I am one who can tahan gory & uncomfortable scenes & images, but I cringed at some parts..
Whoa imagine if we watched it in 3D. OOOOOHH.
The ending was abrupt.. I should watch the 1st movie.
I rate it 3.5/5 Spartans.

We still have a lot of time, so... we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest.
WE SANG.

There was a lot of promotion going on, so we took the Student Promo instead of the Happy Hour; 3 hours of non-stop singing.
They even have free wifi for us & free food & drinks!

ENJOY LIFE 

We were all so stupid because we don't know how to operate the system (actually we're not stupid lah hor it was our 1st time there & it's all so foreign).
The floor manager was so friendly with us, because we were talking casually with him. I like!

Stupid Renwei pushed me that I knocked onto Nat.

Sing K loh!

Obviously it's Renwei who picked the song 

It was one of the f*cking sick atmosphere and time of my life! 
We jumped, danced, stood up & sang our hearts out.
John was like 'ALRIGHT GIVE IT UP FOR SINGAPORE!!' & 'THANK YOU SINGAPORE' & 'I LOVE YOU SINGAPORE!!' & 'SCREEEEEEAAAAMMM!!!!'
As if we're in a concert for an imaginary 100,000 fans.
I laughed so hard & sang so hard my throat was as dry as my lecturer's jokes.
I really had so much fun inside the karaoke room.
Not sure who picked Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus, and the guys' singing was horrible + hilarious.
I've seen the wild & high side of Kel. *Rapid eyebrows movement*

Goodness, I was laughing my ass off my belly button flew out I felt abs coming.
That plus the other moments in the room. :')
Laughed till I teared.
Such perfect stress reliever & therapy.

Other unforgettable moments is 1. Jai Ho by Pussycat Dolls
We all stood up & sang. I sang the echoes & harmonize with the rest. I was rocking my head when I did the echoes. Funny as f*ck!!
2.  Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston
Again, we all stood up & danced & jumped sang at the top of our lungs!
Definitely money well spent.
3 hours flew by quickly.. If not for Renwei who had something on at night, we could've extend the singing hours (see: burden).

Because he had to leave very soon, we went on to have dinner.
John introduced the restaurant to us because it has ostrich meat!
Bizarre? I dunno, I never tried before & wanted to try! (You only lived once)
It tastes like beef + duck..
Again, we ordered food to share between us :) We kept on talking and eating.

Nat x Zen

Looks like he's taking the photo of himself

FOODOS!!

Chicken bee hoon

The ostrich meat! With a side of corn and fried rice

Grilled salmon with sides of potato and corn

Tomyam bee hoon

I didn't ate the Tom Yam because you know, I cannot take spicy food.
The food was mmMM!
The service staff was also friendly & funny! However, I cannot take his humour.. I was taking a picture of the menu & he said I couldn't take photo. He said need to pay $10. I was embarrassed & asked him 'oh I have to delete the photo?' And he was laughing away. ...
The guys said he was joking... IN MY DEFENCE he look dead serious okay & his tone was..
Goodness I can't believe I fell for it.

Food was good, company was good, memory was definitely good!
I feel really comfortable being with them. I like hanging out with guys like them.
There could be another outing in future.. not confirmed but I hope there is!

Day well spent :)
