I Went, I Saw, I Conquered

BH did the most intensive shopping trip in his life when in the US. Here are the spoils of his victory!


Hmm.. why is there no guy stuff?

Choto...here's something fit for a man:

A gadget of course!

Why so much VS stuff? Well, he rushed to the store an hour before going to airport to catch his flight back to SG. This was inspired by a sign that said "Store closing early at 4pm today to prepare for semi-annual sale tomorrow starting at 7am" at the SOHO outlet he walked past just the day before.

Having found nothing much at the Charlestown mall branch, he decided to give VS a second chance at this sale. When he walked in, he observed that he was the only guy around this early in the store. The sales person gestured for him to take a shopping bag but being the cynic and geh-kiang guy, BH declined.

In less than a minute, BH returned and humbly requested for a shopping bag. At half price or less, how can he resist? :P

Valentine's Day Dinner

This is our first Valentine's Day after getting married. Instead of trying to find seats at packed restaurants or subject ourselves to pricey set meals from which you have little choice, we decided to DIY :D

We have bought 2 packs of Japanese curry from our honeymoon in Japan earlier, and decided to put them to good use. After getting some pork sirloin chops from the nearby Cold Storage at Compasspoint, together with some Nissin panko (breadcrumbs used for deep frying your typical Japanese Katsu pork chops), it's time to experiment!

..and here's the results!

Not too bad! The panko on pork chops tasted like the real thing (better than some chain restaurants if I say so myself).

Hehe.. Post dinner plans - how about slow dancing in the room, followed by an exhilarating ride through the Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D?

What Wii Got for Barney's Birthday?

2 weekends of Wii playing fun with different groups of friends :)

Aching arms aching arms...

What's Cooking?

Time again to show off my pathetic cooking skills!

What to do when a guy is too lazy to go out of the house for lunch? He peeks at what he has remaining in the fridge and tries to whip up something that can pass off as food.

Hmm..what do we have?
- Mee Sua: A lot of it from my mum. Better finish it up
- Lettuce: Left a bit half the size of my fist. Better finish it up or it will suffer the same fate as the kangkong that last occupied the same spot (trust me you don't wanna know what happened to the kangkong).
- Crabsticks: Plenty left in the freezer. I'll take 2 please.
- Meatballs: Ping Pong brand (with a piggy on the packaging - wife swears by this). 6 bouncy balls then

Pop them all into boiling water with anchovies to make some kinda soup base, and drip some sesame oil and dust some pepper....Viola!
Lazy man's lunch:

Furry stuff from Lush

Before we went off for our honeymoon, there was an offer from Lush Lush. Actually Lush holds discounts from time to time but this one was pretty good with their furry rugs at $199 each only (the normal "discounts" were at $299. You can look out for their adverts on each Saturday's Life section, where most furnishing shops do advertise as well).

So before our honeymoon, we ordered a furry rug that is kind of silverish-grey (depending on how the tuff tilts :P) and 2 greyish-brown big 20 by 20-inch furry cushions. Sigh..maintenance will be tough but these we like them all the same..haha.

Still, I can expect to pick up more fur and dust with the vacuuming and mopping (oops, forgot to keep the vacuum cleaner first before taking the pic..hehe)

What to eat?

Hmm.. what do you do when the wife's away in freezing cold Beijing, you're home alone and it's pouring outside?

Eating in of course! So here's digging into our stash of exotic instant cup noodles bought from Japan:

So what did I choose?



The verdict? Well it's thicker curry with a mild cheesey flavour. Not too bad but not something to take more than a couple of times.

Home

Some photographers came up to our house to take some shots, on request of our ID back in July when the house was ready. We obliged. It'll be a long before you see it so neat again..
