Looking back 2013…

2013 is a year that I seldom write. Can you believe it, I’m still not done with blogging for our honeymoon in 2011!? I seldom blog, but still, there is a lot happening in this year. With that, this entry becomes a lot MORE MEANINGFUL!! 🙂

First of all, this is a year of lotsa travelling. Haha! Out of 12 months, I had 6 trips, and out of the 6 trips, I was on my own solo trip for 2 of them!! Cool right? I always imagined myself doing something like that since I was young, but never had the courage until this year, it just happened so naturally without much anticipation or planning.

Travelogues

Kaoshiung in Dec-Jan
This is CrazyGang’s First Countdown overseas, and in my favourite country, Taiwan!! We spent a day in Taipei and made our way to Kaoshiung. Had lotsa food, eating steamboat in the cold, wearing thick jackets, shiok or not? Sibeh shiok!! Visited the 五月天exhibition at 搏二.. sibeh happy we did so many jumpshots with the magnificent Mayday’s Bumblebee. Pail and I are going to countdown at 高雄世运体育场 with Mayday’s NOWHERE concert, while the Lee sisters and their bro went to 高雄梦时代’s countdown party.

Such a wonderful experience.!!

Osaka in April
Our 2nd trip to Osaka, but we feel different in every trip. Especially this is our first time seeing SAKURA!! See here for a short teaser of our trip.

Para Para Sakura!! Haha!!

Soooooooooooo beautiful….
风景和心情都美得不在话下,难以用文字形容!我会好好地把这一切牢记在心里。

Hong Kong Solo trip in May
Why did I say my solo trip naturally happened without much anticipation? That’s because Pail was being summoned by our country to serve a ONE MONTH reservist in Kaoshiung!!! And so…. Suki shall go for a solo trip too!! It got to be somewhere which I do not require much planning, Taiwan or HK? Let the itinerary and air fare decide my destination. First, Air tickets to HK are cheaper than TW, and secondly, I managed to buy a Mayday concert ticket from this 换票区 to fight against 黄牛票! Muahahahaha… Canny will help me deal with the seller, and the happiest thing is I will be able to meet up with her again! Yay!

Woohoo.. All sorted. Got myself a 3G data sim card, and i did not lose my way at all! Suki can read maps now!! To sum up this trip: 一个人的旅行,睡到饱,吃到饱,逛到饿,饿了吃,累了就坐下来喝杯咖啡,再继续逛。还有拍很多很多的照片,再INSTAGRAM. 😀

Taipei Impromptu trip in August

How this impromptu trip happened –> read here.

No, this is not Taipei, why so hot one???? This gotta be the hottest Taipei we’ve ever been. Coz we always go during Winter, and now is Summer in August, even hotter than SG!!! To make things worse, it’s RAINING and TYPHOON season~~~ Heck lah, still want to enjoy ourselves…. we appreciated the hot weather after we were welcomed with their seasonal rain, hotter also never mind, at least it didn’t rain when we visited 十分&菁桐 and 宜蘭. Heh… 人就是这样。We are quite prepared for the season, we are in shades, sleeveless/tees, shorts and slippers, I even bought my super-cui longchamp bag and the Manhattan backpack that are waterproof. Needless to say, it’s always ALOT OF GREAT FOOD, SHOPPING and LUXURY HOTEL STAYS in Taiwan. =)

Bangkok #CGGalsBKK in September

Read here on the trip. So glad, I took time to blog about this amazing trip with the gals. 😉

Vancouver Work Trip in October

This is the first work trip of my life, and I’m going to Vancouver, Canada, BC. I’m only reporting for work on the 1st Oct, and one week later, I’m in Vancouver. It still feels like a dream to me. Alone there, I felt a bit lonely, but I tried not to think about it, and just adapt to the lifestyle. And yes, I did it. I survived. The people there are such wonderful people, kind and helpful, one thing I noticed is, they do not have their own culture, their culture is a mixture of everybody’s cultures from different parts of the world. That’s also what Singapore is like, but I sensed more happiness in the people there. It’s amazing. I couldn’t describe why so amazing, but it’s just amazing. Hehehe..

I met a man on train

I boarded my train at Raffles Place station as I was watching drama on the iPad.. As i was trying to balance myself in a moving train, I turned to get hold of one of those grips on the top. My peripheral vision saw this man, who is very well-dressed in white shirt and black pants, reading a novel by Haruki Murakami……

Christmas Lunch at Les Amis

When we first entered the restaurant, it’s a room by ourselves, with 2 long tables, and we see a menu card with our individual names printed, oh, that means we have to sit according to how they places the cards!

20131213-154111.jpg

Enjoy the good food! Give it a guess, what’s this? Clue in next picture! Haha!

20131213-154118.jpg

Plain Toast, Sourdough, Bacon toast and Orange sweet toast, in short, very yummy bread! You can choose unsalted / salted butter to go with different toast.

20131213-154124.jpg

This is Maki of Smoked Salmon and Celeriac Julienne Wasabi Yogurt. I don’t appreciate smoked salmon, so I’ll say, it’s too salty.

20131213-163513.jpg

Pan Seared Scallop with Bordier Seaweed Butter was not bad. The scallop is very fresh with some butter scent.

20131213-154132.jpg

Steam Blue Crab on Lobster Custard Garnish with Caviar & Fennel Foam. This one gotta be my favourite of all, its AWESOME custard!!

20131213-154140.jpg

Here comes the main dish, Angel Hair Pasta with Lobster Crispy Sakura Ebi & a Touch of Parmesan. The serving of the main course wasn’t too big, like a usual main course, but I am a fan of angelhair pasta, so I liked this too!

20131213-154146.jpg

Lastly, the dessert served very beautifully. Candied whole Clementine with Panna Cotta and Sorbet on a light Earl Grey Jelly. The candied surface was abit crisp, and sweet, with a burst of orange flavour in the very-chilled sorbet. Lovely and sorted. 😀

Next, lucky draw time! I’ve got a YELLOW note, and it means I got the only HUGE xmas sock of CHOCOLATES!!! The biggest gift was a huge hamper, while the rest will go home with either Nothing, or a $50 Robinsons voucher. Alright, I shall be a contented gal and enjoy my sweet Christmas. 😉

20131213-154317.jpg

Since I’m so full and sleepy after the three hours lunch, I decided to jump queue from all my backlogs and blog about this lunch here. Overall, the food here is good, but I’ll prefer to pop over to Aoki beside for Chirashi don during lunch time if I have an option! It’s still under the same Les Amis group anyway. Haha! Jap food still wins!

Maybe it’s the company I’m eating with. I used to go Aoki with Pail, and this lunch, I’m eating with colleagues whom I don’t really know. It’s weird to be seated with a bunch of people you do not know, but everyone else knows everyone there. Not because I’m new, but because, there’s this strange arrangement for our team to be sitted in another office. That’s why, the people from the main office do not know us. We are from there but we do not feel like we are from there. And being seated in another office, we do not feel like we belong to them too. That’s probably what you call “兩頭不到岸”!! 🙁

Anyways, enjoy the good food, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
