A fun fun Saturday at Sentosa's Port of Lost Wonder

The subject says it all. :)

We had so much fun!

First, it was the ice slide at Sentosa’s 40th birthday bash…

Though the slide wasn’t as smooth as expected, the boys didn’t seem to mind at all. It was their first ice slide!!

After the birthday bash, we proceeded to Sentosa’s Port of Lost Wonder, which was just next to where we were. The boys’ practically went bonkers. Grin. Yeah, this mommy doesn’t bring them out to man-made places that much. Terrible isn’t she? Hurhur.

Truth be told, i wasn’t keen to join the boys, not under the scorching sun especially. But after boy2 gave me his ultimatum, i had no choice but to strut my stuff amongst the daddies and mommies. HAHA!

Luckily, i went prepared – brought my swimming costume!

Being a mother of 3 boys, there’s certain invisible ‘guideline’ to my dressing.

For this outing of ours, beegeenee is definitely a no-no. Heck, i don’t even wear beegeenee to begin with(!) , though i do own quite a number of sets. :P

When i first laid my eyes on this retro-looking swimwear a couple of months ago in Melbourne, i knew i had to get it. I totally adore the cutting.. and i love how well the piece could holds its shape, in case of ‘tie-came-loose’ accidents. I do a lot of piggybacks in the water with the boys you see.. so, yeah.. best kinda swimsuit for me.

Best of all? It was on sale! Woot!

Before i got dragged into the water by the sulky boy2, i was totally chilling out there on the dry side by myself.

But you know what?

I was pretty glad that the boy forced me in, because, believe or not, it turned out rather enjoyable! The boys held my hands wherever i went. I was like their.. ahem, princess or queen if you must (i rather princess still. LOL!) Showing me this and that and we went on the scary slides for some nth time! I screamed of course and they laughed their heads off.. It was really fun lah. So mommies, if you’re anything like me, lazy + hate scorching hot sun + dislike getting wet (laps in the pool excluded), get off your bumbum please. Take my word for it.. and you’ll be rewarded with abundance of laughter and wonderful memory. ;)

Just before we left, i noticed this particular daddy and i couldn’t resist snapping a photo of him with his children and children’s mates. They were hilarious. What an amusing, delightful, pleasurable sight to behold.

The dad was out of this world sporty! The kids, they were all over him, laughing, shouting… So heartwarming. :)

After POLW, we went on the explore a tiny bit nearby.

On the way back..

.. story telling time!

Meanwhile, look!

It’s Gia Gia and Jiak Jiak. Lol!

On the news, “Two “pandas” were spotted on Sentosa last week! Much to the delight of guests, the pandas were seen boarding the Sentosa Express and the beach tram. They also visited Palawan Beach for a picnic, Koufu Food Court for local desserts and Rasa Spa at Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort for a relaxing bamboo massage”.

Thank you, Sentosa Island for the memorable Saturday!

It was that time of the year again.

The sister, mother and i would make a few trips to restaurants for lunch without fail in the month of May. I love it. It’s probably the only time i get to sit down with the 2 of them and have decent conversation! :)

This year, i picked Absinthe.

(past 2 years — just to name a few– : Nicholas, FiftyThree, Jaan Par Andre)

Did i tell you that i quite like dressing up? *grin* But not too often though.. Once a week is great! It kinda lift the spirit up and boost one self’s confidence a tiny bit — i’m mostly in comfy shorts and comfy old tees, probably that explains why eh?  :P

20120526-101507.jpg

Fr left, clockwise : Foie Gras Poêlé
(Pan-Fried Foie Gras, Warm Blinis and Morello Cherries), Duck Breast, Ravioles de Royan (Royan Cheese Ravioli, Pesto and Citrus in Light Broth), Seared Tuna with Salad.

What can i say? Almost all four of these dishes were great!

But if i must pick one to be one of my least favourite, it gotta be the ravioli. Rather mediocre if you ask me. I’d probably leave this out if i were to go again. According to my dining companions, the Foie Gras and Duck Breast were rather exceptional. If i’m not wrong, the duck breast’s sauce was yuzu?

20120526-101515.jpg

Fr left, clockwise : King Prawns, Steaks & desserts

Sorry for the very brief dishes’ names. It has been sometime and i can’t find it on the menu online. Yikes!

Anyway, the prawns were good! If u see this on the menu, ORDER it! We were torn between the prawns and something else. In the end, i turned to one of the fabulous, friendly staff for recommendation and he said, ‘The prawns”, and gave me that wink. Heh! But yeah, seriously, it was good. I wish i didn’t have to share them. HAhaaaa!

Desserts, hmmm… no comments. HAHAA! Well, if you must know, it was not bad but it wasn’t fabulous either. :P

20120526-101523.jpg

BUT!

The Fromage Français Affinés (French Farmed French Cheese Trolley) –> TOTALLY go for it! *wink*

Will i come back here for meals? Hell yes!

De Dietrich 2012 Collection Launch

What a coincidence!

Just when my oven went into coma (and later, it came alive again. PHEW!), i received this invitation in the mail box for the above launch. How exciting!

Being a mountain tortoise (read : homemaker) for so many years, i’ve never, ever been to any launch parties or gala or whatever in my life. The most formal and dressy event i’ve ever been to was…. errrr, high school prom? *facepalm*facepalm*and*facepalm!* Lol! So yeah, this reason together with my wonky oven excuse, of course i have to go!

When i saw the invite stated “Cocktail Elegance” for the dress code that night, i kinda panicked a teeny bit. Seriously, what the *toot* is that? Cocktail = short dresses. Elegance = dressy short dress? That was my first guess but i ain’t sure. So i turned to Google and good ol Twitter for help and viola, question answered. :)

I was torn between 2 dresses (if i hadn’t pile up those excess kilos, i’d have more choices! Hmph!) but in the end, i went in this.

photo taken while trying the dresses right after whipping up dinner for the boys. didn’t have any proper photos after that due to the very tight schedule! :(

The Crescendo Updraft Hood, available in Black Pearl, White Pearl and Grey Pearl $2397 – installed directly overhead cabinetry or as a free standing hood mounted the wall in the casing, it moves down towards the hob to effectively remove all odour and fumes. Once tasks completed, it retracts fully back into the cabinetry or its casing. So intelligent lorr!

Le Piano Zoneless Induction Hob $11,880 - this innovation raises the bar in induction cooking with the first industry’s first full zoneless cooking hob. Up to 5 different cooking pots, no matter the size or shape, can be cooked on any part of the hob! What can i say? I WANT THIS HOB!!

Pity i didn’t manage to take any good shots of the White Pearl ovens which simply got my mouth hanging open for a while. Heeee! So gorgeous those ovens.

Sigh.. I want one!
