Japadog and Culture Crawl
Lovely combination on a nice weather Saturday despite it being a bit cold!
So today I wanted to check out Eastside Culture Crawl, as a friend of mine is involved in it. At the same time, hubs took me to downtown to have Japadog for lunch ^^/! (I love hot dogs!)
Japadogs are actually served at a hotdog stand, with some Japan-style toppings. Extremely delicious, definitely worth waiting and eating...

Kid at heart
Got word from Bro in law that Burger king has a rather cute toy with the kids meal, so I badgered hubs to go with me to get a couple :P
Cute packaging! ^^ the box itse’f comes with some cardboard bits to “dress up” the mini toy inside for halloween ^^
As you can see on the box, there’s 3 more other characters, but we opted to get the white doggie :P Maybe I should have...

Explosion of flowers etc...
Hub’s co-worker/friend invited us to go to his place to cut some end of season flowers, even tho it was raining quite a bit I’m so glad we went (we got all wet and a bit muddy but it was quite an experience!) See how huge some of the blooms are O_O here’s a comparison of a giant to my husband’s head :P

Moar food abuse :P
We had a couple out of town relatives and one night we went out with them and our family to dinner. Tried this restaurant for the first time, food is not bad but recently we were told that there was either a miscommunication or a mischarge to a shared order - they charged a half order price on the plate one of the couples wanted to share O_o. So what happened was the server may have suggested half...

Junk food summer randoms
8.30pm ish in summer:
Trees are full of leaves, not bare like in winter or pre-spring:
While taking a detour to get to the bus stop, I bumped into 2 ferocious beasts sun tanning. I want to take the smaller beast home but their owner is nearby lol!
I think one of my biggest evil, poison, weakness… has gotta be junk food ^^; I try not to eat too much but I cannot deny the fact...

Week end buzz and nostalgic food craving
So while my laptop was down, I sewed a dress for my new doll :P
Kaya: a kinda sweet coconut/egg based spread which was available in Singapore, which I found at local Yaohan, had a craving for it :P It’s delish with some butter ^^;
I find Kaya spread great with toast, but it’s not for everyone — it’s quite sweet, but have some butter spread on the other piece of toast,...

Kindersurprised
On Sunday afternoon, my husband got a small piece of poo (either bug or bird poo, we have no idea) on his camera lens just when he took the camera out of the bag. I was joshing that he may want to get a lottery ticket LOL.
So later that night when we went to get some milk at London Drugs after dinner, he saw that I was eyeing at the kindersurprise near the shelves by the cashier, so he casually...

Now our living room feels a bit more like a living room ^O^ It’s funny how we went back to Ikea after looking around and thinking about it :) This couch design is one of which I fell in love with when it first came out XD I was making reasons for us not to get this one — nitpicking on the thick armchair and chunky back piece, but I guess Wai kinda fell for this colour/material for the...

Take note: this step help keep the tofu from breaking too easily from handling. While the tofu is soaking, go do other food preperation — cook rice, cut up and marinate meat etc. After about 20 mins or so, carefully cut tofu to about 10...
