Sigh... it's Monday again... Today even more no mood to work (this sentence sounds so Singlish haha) because tomorrow is a public holiday. Actually wanted to take leave today so that can enjoy a long weekend but my usual cover is on holiday so there's no one to cover my work. So sad... :(
Office was also quieter than usual as three colleagues were on leave for their holidays and another on MC. Ahh... even though I just came back from Japan, I feel like going for another holiday again :P
Well, good thing is that there's no need to work tomorrow so can sleep late tonight. Shall continue watching my J-dramas :)

Lazing at home
Woke up at almost 12.30 pm today as I had watched the Aston Villa vs Man U match and only went to bed before 4am. Man U won 3-2 but their defence was terrible once again. They really need to stop conceding goals and putting pressure on themselves.
Spent the whole day lazing at home watching J-dramas and anime :P Managed to catch up on quite a number of dramas but still have a few to go. Shall continue to watch now :)

Happy Birthday to myself! :D
This morning my sis went to buy Subway sandwiches and soya milk from Mr Bean for our breakfast. My father's company had subsidized tickets for the movie "Ah Boys to Men" for today so my father had reserved 5 tickets for our family．Usually I don't watch local productions, especially Jack Neo's, but I just went along since it's supposed to be part of my birthday celebration.
We reached Vivocity at about 12.30 and went to collect the tickets from the organizer. The allocated seats were rather close to the screen (4th row from the front), maybe because we were later than others in getting the tickets. We were also given a voucher each for a box of popcorn, a cup of coke and nachos/hotdog bread, but we were still full from our heavy breakfast so we only redeemed 3 out of 5 vouchers.
The movie was supposed to start at 1pm but only really started at about 1.20pm after the usual advertisements and trailers. The movie was ok and I must admit that I felt a little sad at the beginning when Singapore was under attack. However, the rest of the movie was rather typical of Jack Neo's style, though non-locals would probably not be able to understand all the humor. I was also surprised at the end when I found out that this show was only part 1 of the movie.
After the movie, we went shopping around Vivocity. We then went for early dinner as we only had some popcorns and nachos during the movie. We took some time to decide what to eat and finally settled on Brotzeit as we wanted to try something different. We ordered the Brotzeit Platter to share and chose Roasted Potatoes and Napkin Dumplings as the side dishes. The food was good but we felt a bit 腻 towards the end as it was full of meat.
After dinner, we continued shopping till about 9pm before going home. Managed to buy some clothes so at least the time spent shopping was not wasted :P So my birthday passed just like that and I'm older by a year now *sob* XD

Friday Feasts
小花 wanted to buy some things from Daiso so we went to Vivocity for lunch. We were deciding on what to eat for lunch and I suggested having dim sum at Ban Heng restaurant as some colleagues had commented that the food was not bad. We had some difficulty locating the main entrance of the restaurant as we went up from a lobby that was farther from it.
We actually wanted to have the dim sum buffet but it was only available if there was a minimum of 4 people per table, so we ordered a la carte instead. The food was good and we especially liked the carrot cake that the waitress recommended.
After work, we went to Watami at The Star Vista (again!) for dinner as we received vouchers from our last meal there. This was my third time there in just a short week ;) As usual, we had to queue outside the restaurant for a table... Looks like their business is good.
We ended up ordering almost the same food as last Friday. However, we felt that the Mentai Potato Pizza was not as good as the previous time, probably as there was not as much mentai and the crust was not as crisp. The tempura also seemed to be coated with too much flour, but luckily the sweet potato and pumpkin were sweet. Overall we were still satisfied with the food and we liked the big and juicy grilled squid :D

Lunch treat
Today 小花 and Ms Thin treated me to lunch at Ichiban Sushi \^^/ We ordered a set each and added a Mentai Potato Salad to share. They commented that the Saba fish for my set was rather small as compared to that of Umisushi, but I still ended up very full. 小花 said that she now loves food with Mentai ;)
Man U won the match early this morning and will progress to the next round of the Champions League... Yay! :)

It's Wednesday!
Actually wanted to book movie tickets for this Friday but there were no nice shows besides Skyfall, which our company has organized for a free screening on 30 Nov. So we decided to just go for dinner instead.
Before leaving office, I helped 小花 take a few photos for her passport renewal. Usually shops would charge about $10 for 8 passport sized photos, which I think is a waste of money and resource since most people only require 1. After 小花 has emailed me her selected photo, I helped her crop it to the required specifications and changed the background white. Hopefully the photo will not be rejected :)
Man U will be playing Braga in the Champions League later. Hope they will win!

Shoes
This morning my youngest sis was on her way to work when the wedge of her shoes came off. She was so embarrassed but she was already reaching the MRT station, so she just tore away both sides and continued to work.
Ha ha... I can just imagine the scene :D It reminded me of that time when the sole of my sandals gave way, and later even the toe grip came off too. My colleagues and I couldn't stop laughing about it. Guess I was luckier than my sis as I managed to buy another pair of sandals at a shop near our office, while my sis had to wear the shoes with just a thin layer of sole remaining for the whole day :P

Surprise... Early Birthday Present!
Received an early birthday present from 小花 today, though to be more accurate, there are 2 items - a wallet pouch and a bag :) I was pleasantly surprised when 小花 gave me the present while on our way to work.
小花 was afraid that I would not dare to use the bag due to its striking colour and told me that she could get an exchange at the shop if so. However, I usually don't match the colour of my clothes to my bag so it doesn't really bother me :D
Both items are really useful to me, since my current wallet is giving way soon and I usually change my working bag once a year. Shall use the wallet pouch after my birthday but shall keep the bag for use next year ;)
小花へ ありがとうございます! I will make full use of them \(^v^)/

There goes my Sunday...
Went to my grandma's house this afternoon with my family. Was actually not very keen on going as I know my grandma will ask me the same question again -- "Do you have a boyfriend?" Sure enough, when I said I don't, she nagged at me saying that I am getting old and should start looking for a boyfriend, especially since I'm the eldest and my younger sisters already have boyfriends.
Sigh... I hate to repeat this conversation over and over again whenever I see my grandma. It really gets on my nerves but all I can do is just smile and nod and say that I will try to look for one. I know that actually my grandma is asking out of concern for me but somehow it just makes me feel irritated with the constant "reminders".
After leaving my grandma's house, we decided to go for dinner. I suggested The Star Vista since my parents have not been there yet and they agreed. We ended up at Watami again :P There was a queue outside but not as long as that on Friday night. However, we felt that the staff were really inexperienced as they kept people waiting with their weird "first come first serve" seating arrangements. They seated 2 people at a table for 4, then left a table for 4 empty and waited for a neighboring table for 4 to finish and settle the bill to combine into a table for 6.
We wanted to order the Mentai Potato Pizza but it was sold out :( So we ordered the Wafu Pizza instead. We also ordered the Ebi Tempura Maki, Kaki Fried, Tako Satsumaage, Tempura Moriawase, Hire Katsu Tamago Toji, Hiroshimafu Okonomiyaki, Ishiyaki Sutamina Don and Watami Tonkotsu Ramen. We were all very full and satisfied with the food.
My youngest sis told me she suddenly remembered that she lent my card reader to her boyfriend... :S Anyway, I'm not in the mood to sort out the photos now so shall leave it to another day.
Started watching a J-drama called "花のズボラ飯" (花的懒人料理) and it was quite entertaining. It also teaches how to cook food that is easy to prepare but delicious at the same time. I think the phrase "ズボラ" suits me since I'm lazy so I decided to add it into my blog name :P

Catching up on J-dramas
This afternoon, I wanted to try sorting out some photos from the Hokkaido/Tokyo trip but couldn't seem to find my card reader. Asked my sisters but both of them said they didn't take it :( In the end, I gave up looking for it and continued watching my J-Dramas and anime instead :P Still have many episodes to watch as missed quite a number during the trip and most of this season's dramas seem interesting.
Yay! Man U won Arsenal 2-1 but I was a bit annoyed that they didn't keep a clean sheet and let Arsenal score right at the very end. They also wasted a few chances to kill off the game earlier. Hope they can perform better next time...
