What's Your Email Personality? - Haha. Well.. tts quite true..





My Result: One-liner


Satsuki, when it comes to email, you're a One-liner


Take this test!


As Shakespeare so eloquently put it, "Brevity is the soul of wit." And these are the kind of words that seem to sum up your email writing style. Maybe you're so busy you can't manage much more than a quick reply. Or maybe you're just so witty you say it all without many words. And then again, maybe you just can't be bothered to type that much.


Truth is, you've got places to go and people to see. As much as you rely on email to keep your life sane, you're always looking for ways to make it more efficient. Tired of advertisements popping up every time you sign on? Wish you had a dollar for every piece of spam you had to sort through?



What's Your Holiday Theme Song?





My Result: Deck the Halls


Satsuki, your holiday theme song is Deck the Halls


Take this test!


Good cheer? You've got it to spare. Come December, you're the kind of person who can spread joy for miles. Whether you're smiling at the Salvation Army Santa, rounding up a group of friends for a lively gathering, or decking the halls like nobody can, you know how to get into the Christmas spirit!


There's something about your upbeat manner that helps you rise above the chaos of the season. And that keeps you humming to your own holiday beat. So dust off those ornaments, show off those cards, and belt out those carols at the top of your lungs if the mood strikes you. Your enthusiasm can be contagious, so why not share the wealth? 'Tis the season to be jolly after all. And what better way to show it than by bringing your fa-la-la-la-la with you wherever you go?

!!Desserts!! ~ 3

Taking a break from my studies... So.... Time to talk about desserts!
Donut Factory - A shop that started the Donut craze in town.. Ppl willing to queue for hrs jus to buy the donut.. Of coz, if u know me well enough, u know I wont queue more than 15 mins.. Hahaha!! Sayuri Chan n I passed by the outlet at Suntec and since the queue is very very short(amazingly), we decide to join in and ordered 1(yes, jus 1). We got our donut in less than 10 mins. Ive ordered Choco mint(I tik so.. hmmm). The bread is soft and its chocolaty. Hahah so Sinful, but ok la, I tik I wont queue 3 hrs for it..
The Coffee Club - The 1st time I tried this drink, Earl Grey float, didnt like it.. I like Earl Grey tea and ice cream as itself, putting them together, taste strange. After a few times, not able to resist either one of them, I kept ordering n slowly got used to the taste and even like it.. Hehe.. You may want to try.. But mind u, the taste and after taste is quite strong...
Sayuri chan wanted to try Ritz Carlton hotel's high tea. Since I nv been there before, I happily went with her.. Hermm a bit expensive though.. :P You could see that the food had been carefully prepared and they even had a live band playing for an hour.
They had a special theme. Its the sour fruits theme... FAINT!!! Its not my favorite.. All the desserts were made from sour fruits, lemon, lime, orange, etc etc.. SO SOUR!! My face expression kept changing coz of the sourness.. I tik Sayuri chan trying not to laugh...
We had dinner wif Sayuri chan before she flew off. As usual, dessert.. But.. Im too too too full... Since Xiang still could eat, he ordered Brownie with Ice Cream and I grab a few bites.. Quite nice, though slightly too sweet for me..
But its chocolate!! I cant resist!!

Waraku had a new venture, Waraku Pasta. They had new desserts too.. I was craving for one, and Im fulled... So nice bro Xiang shared with me.. We ordered Tiramisu cake with Ice cream.. Yummy yummy.. I like ice cream tt comes with fruits.. Not too sweet, jus nice.. If u r a lover of tiramisu, u could try!
After Da Ge, intro me to this place at Tampines Swimming complex, Ive brought the gang there twice to eat out. 1st time, we were too full, 2nd time, we left some space in the tummy to try the ice cream. Xiang ordered Macha and Xun ordered Mango. Its less than $5 each and they have lots of ingredients. Its really worth it. The mango one is on the sweet side, but the ice at the bottom, balance it off..
No Birthday cake? Its incomplete for a birthday in my house.
Couldnt recall since when it started tt we need a cake for every birthday. This yr, we bought cake from Bangawansolo for BIL n Mum, Sun Moulin for Sis and BreakTalk for Dad.. I thought my sis cake was the best... Coz its made out of good yummy n rich chocolate!! Hahaha
Remember during Xun n my bir we went to MM hotel to have high tea?? The dessert there is good.. But of coz compare to the dinner, dinner one is better. But well, theres cake, ice cream, Fondue, kuehs etc, whos complaining?

After which, we went to NYDC to have Desserts..
Errr.. Tea for me only pls.. Couldnt eat anymore.. Xiang ordered mud pie... Hahaha

Xiang n I was shopping ard Tampines when he asked me, ice cream? Hehe.. of coz, its our regular thg to do.. But we dont wan to go to Hagen, so we went for Swensens. Ohh.. Special promo, 1 for 1 sundae. We got a Coit Tower and a Ring-a-ling-a-ding. Nice, rich chocolate.. but too sweet...
Miao fly airplane la(not tt shes flying off).. so Xun n I ended up at Airport Sakae sushi for dinner. They are trying out new desserts at the Airport branch only. So we two ordered the Macha Cheesecake and Yuzu Ice cream. The Yuzu Ice cream is great, not too sweet, not too sour, but my poor gum being sensitive tt day, was giving me a hard time eating the ice cream. The Cheesecake is not too thick with cheese(which to my liking), but I hope the they put more Macha powder.. I thought the cheesecake goes very very well with the powder..
Ok.. Tts all for now.... Till much much later for part 4... Hahaha

~ The Gang n I with 2 new members~

It been quite sometime since we last met with Mika Chan & Yukano Chan(ever since Sayuri chan sayonara). So on this day we decide to meet up. But nothing much to do anyway, so I suggested to go Bowling.. But Xiang n miao fly us airplane, last minute say can only meet us for dinner, so left Xun, the 2 ladies n myself.
Sigh, but as expected, its so crowded at the bowling place and we are on waiting list.
To kill time, we went to the Pool center to play pool. 3 of them had played before and Mika is an expert!! Wah liao!! Im so amazed by her!!! And even Xun played so well!!!! and me hor, its my first time playing... So shy. But thanks to them, they taught me alot how to play. After 2 games, jus when Im getting the hang of it, the bowling center called and say the lane is ready for us.. T_T (Xun, next time go with me again to teach me pool...)

Hehe.. Changed my heels to bowling shoes.. Hmm let me thk.. The last time I wore bowling shoes is....is.... 18 yrs old?? Wah seh.. Long long time ago...
Sigh, and me getting old liao also, my bowling skills so so lousy... but 3 of them are so good... I tik I better go cafe less n take on more sports.. Hahaha..

Our cute xun, he kept bowling 9 pin down , 9 pin down, at our 2nd game, he even more good.. out of 10 game, 8 games were 9 pts each!!
But I tik the best the best bowler is Mika Chan!
Shes really good at sports!!!! Strike Spare Strike Spare!!!!

After 2 bowling game, the 2 ladies arms are getting tired.. For me, getting hungry... Haha.. Oops, 5.30 liao.. Time to change location again! Off to Novena for Dinner!!! Today dinner place is suggested by me, Hong Kong Street Rest. I was there last yr for one of my makan kaki send off dinner. Had not been there since. Our 2 guest wants to have chinese seafood. So this might be a good idea.
Starting off with "Xian Cai tofu tang" preserved veggie with Tofu Soup to warm our tummy first.
Then next "San Lou Hor fun". The 2 ladies like it, saying its very special. The fish is very fresh!

Next served, "He zou"and claypot tofu.
I liked the sauce of He Zou, its sweet and the He zou is nicely deep fried and not too oily. The Claypot tofu is hot and the tofu is nicely prepared, not too salty.
The two ladies kept commenting, Oishi..
6 of us hardly talked, we kept eating non stop. Coz they served the food very very fast..
Next, curry fish head!!!! Whenever I suggest curry fish head, Xun say he will rain. I thought he jus jokking only, but he only took two sips of the curry sauce, he really start to sweat like rain!!!!(but not tt spicy leh!)
Err, Xun, I tik u better thank the next dish "San Bei Ji" 3 cups of chicken. At least u wont sweat so much liao la!! I like the rice wine and sesame oil. The fragrance is strong but nice!
The last dish is cereal prawn!! My favorite.. But I forgot to take a photo.. T_T
Xun happily eat the cereal no stop.. hahhaa.. and the 2 ladies very amazed with the dishes..
Its their first time eating all these food.. We wanted to order frog's leg for them, but they kept shaking their head..

After all the Savory food. Its time for dessert!!! I missed the "Or nee" here, so I persuaded the rest to have them.. We ordered a small one, and the when the dish came, everyone stared at the plate..





But hey guys, only the plate is big la..
The Or Nee is thick n rich. Its so thick that its not like other place which u use a spoon to scoop into the bowl, the server use a spoon to cut it into small portion before able to serve us. The Or Nee had been prepared with pumpkin and coconut paste. Well, actually if it had been served wif lard oil, SLURP!!!!!! Ok ok, I know its unhealthy, but it taste super good lor!!!

~ 3 days makan-ing ~

Food food food!! I loved to eat!!!!

2nd Nov 07 - To celebrate our bdae, Jose and I went together to one of our favorite rest to celebrate, Waraku!
To pamper myself... Ive ordered a full set meal,Wazen, and Jose had Ebi Cheese Curry rice.
And ordering a side, we had Tonpe yaki.
And hor.. I tik I too greedy liao. Ordered too much food.. End up Jose n I super duper full!!!

We have no choice but to walked from Central mall to city hall so that we could digest off the food abit to continue for a drink.. When we reached City hall, we decided to go to Starbucks to have a drink.. Being a usual green tea lover, Ive ordered Green tea Latte. Its a filling drink n I sort of regretted.. Coz, though its very nice, too filling la.. Jus sitting straight in our direction, theres a very very cute guy!!! Hes so cute tt Im too shy to see him straight, I have to turn my body to face Jose...Hahaha... Cant blame me.. Hes too good looking!!! Jose say, cant look into his eyes if not will get over dosed of electric.. Hahaha...

3rd Nov 07 - Rachel n I met up together to celebrate our bdae. (Haha so many Oct-Nov babies.. ) We went to Paragon, Soba So good, to have our lunch. At first, she wasnt much keen, coz she nv tried the place b4 n she thought its a bit noisy. But I tried to convince her that this place is good coz the Soba had been hand made by the chef. The texture of the Soba is different from what you get outside. She agreed to try it and was quite impressed with their noodles.. hehe!!
Since this lunch is her treat, of coz, dessert will be on me. We went to Dome cafe at Shaw. Its a quiet tuck away place from the noisy crowd.. We ordered a brownie with ice cream cake and a drink each. I had Earl Grey with Aloe Vera. Both are not tt sweet, jus nice for me.
Since its my sister bdae on this day too, Ive bought a chocolate cake for her from Sun Moulin. She liked this bakery as their chocolates are thick and good chocolate. It doesnt melt easily and are of bitter chocolate. N my dad of coz, the happiest one.. Coz he loved to eat cakes.. (But hes getting fat too!!! )

4th Nov 07 - Bro Randy,Siew Choon & I met up for a healthy meal for a change. This place was suggested by Randy(sorry bot my poor memory, I dont recall the name of the place). They served Mushrooms imported from different part of Asia. And you could hardly get them in Singapore or Asean. They are mainly from Japan, Taiwan and China.
Starting of, they served us Mushroom floss and Dried mushroom snack. Next come Cold mushroom sashimi. They boiled the mushroom, then put it into cold water and served with Wasabi.

Next, the hotpot was served with the set of mushrooms we chose..
We have our mushroom flown in from Hokkaido, Taiwan, China and Malaysia. The soup is made out of Mushroom stalk and rib bones. They claimed theres no MSG in the soup. It had a sweet scent.. Yummmmy

Of coz they served not only mushrooms. The set comes with pork, fish and Veggies... The pork meat is very sweet and the veggies very fresh.. But the fish a bit disappointing.. I tik the fishy smell a bit too strong.
The next special dish they served is the mushroom rice. They steamed the rice in a bamboo container and served to customer. Theres mushrooms inside of coz!!
The rice had been mixed with the rice so it a light sweet savory scent of the mushroom..

The set comes with a dessert too. They have 2 choice of dessert for customer to choose from. Maybe we were a bit too late. They only left Green tea Jelly. (But its ok, tts what I want to eat anyway). They had honey as the topping for the Jelly. You can tell tt the honey is of good quality type coz they r not too sweet.
