Benefit Dallas Ultra Plush Lip Gloss

The sides of my lip has always been slightly on the darker side, making it difficult for me to wear nude lip colour. 

Two months ago, I chanced upon a gorgeous nude lip colour which could sufficiently cover up the dark patches.  Introducing Benefit's Dallas Ultra Plush Lip Gloss.

The gloss is uber smooth and glides onto your lips easily, leaving you with a silky aftermath.

My haul at Coach outlet IMM

1st May was Labour Day public holiday in Singapore.  We went to IMM for lunch and chanced upon the Coach outlet having additional 30% discount on top on their existing discounts.  Since the queue was rather short, my mum and I decided to queue to browse at their bags.

Went in without the intention to buy (oh well...maybe yes...i intend to see if they have nice sling bags) and came out with three items


The sunglass was in an irresistable purple shade which i had to buy....anyways i do not have a pair of sunnies so all the more justifiable, yah?

I have been eyeing on this COACH KRISTIN WOVEN LEATHER ROUND SATCHEL (bottom left) since last year.  But the price prevented me from buying it.  Now that it is on sale, after about 59% discount, i was glad i waited out for this.

MOF @ My Mizakaya

My first visit to MOF @ My Mizakaya was with I when I went for my gyneacologist visit after delivery.  He is a fan of Japanese food and I love the decor over there so we decided to give this restaurant a shot.

We did not regret.  Good food, reasonably priced for some.

There was a newly opened a branch at TB plaza and I went there for lunch. 

My all time favourite has to be their avocado & toufu salad.  Creamy avocado, cold toufu and crunchy almond bits to tease your tastebuds.  Oh yes, of course not forgetting the nice wasabi inspired mayo. 超赞!

Ice Edge Cafe

Last Saturday, we were at kovan area and chanced upon this quaint little cafe tuck at the corner of Lowland Road.  It is a small cafe with about 30 seats at most and frequent by residents staying around there.  Casual Italian dining.  I have their seafood aglio olio with chilli and it was delicious.  Not too oily and salty and the pasta was cooked to perfection.  Unfortunately i was too busy eating with one hand and carrying A on my the other arm and I totally forgot to take a picture of the fabulous pasta.

My 'ang mo' elder son didhis usual soup, main course and dessert.  He had mushroom soup which was thick, creamy and full of mushrooms.  Fish and chips was so - so.  But boy! His dessert was good.  He had brownie with a dollop of ice cream on top.  D and I was fighting with him over the dessert.

Happy Mothers' Day

I usually makes me Mothers' Day card.  This year's card is extra lovely with my favourite animal in it.  It also shows how I has progressed tremendously in his art and craft.


 




Teochew sliced fish porridge

My mum's signature teochew fish porridge is simply delish.  After months of observing, i decided to cook this dish on a very hot Saturday evening for dinner.  Nature goodness and of course soupy stuff is always one of my favourite!

Steps to a steaming bowl of teochew sliced fish porridge:

1. Cook some steam rice (the rice should be 3/4 cooked)
2. Boil a pot of fish stock using fish bones for an hour
3. Add sliced fish (i use Batang fish, marinate with sesame oil and soya sauce)
4. Bring to a boil
5. Add cubed toufu and rice
6. Simmer for 3 minutes
7. Add tomato, turn on high heat.  Bring to boil
8. Switch off the fire, add shredded lettuce and fried shallots

Welcome to i see. i hear. i feel i blog

My blogging dated back one decade ago.  At the peak of my blogging days, I had three blogs ; one for my food adventures, one for my daily life recordings and one for my stay in China (sina cos somehow the great firewall of China blocked blogspot and livejournal)

Ten years on....i decided that i should consolidate all into one.  Pen all thoughts and post all pictures in one blog.  Categorise them neatly with tags.  Hey the neat freak in me is showing up again.

So here I am ....in the year of 2013...with my brand new blog on everything and anything....i see. i hear. i feel. i blog.

G'Day!
