Hubby and I had dim sum tea in Lao Beijing which is from Tung Lok Group. I can say nothing special about eating at this place. Kinda pricey a little.
Above are the 2 Orchard's christmas decoration which I actually took the picture in the new year 2010. Haha... I wanted to go before Christmas to snap the decorations but the amount of people crowding Orchard, made me feel wriggling to my bones.
Myself into the mood of shoe shopping, I had to snap the picture to ask hubby which is nicer cause if I don't ask him, I will end up buying both. So typical of me actually to buy what I like. Actually, I do that because I have big feet and it is hard for me to find comfy shoes but honestly, these shoes don't come cheap.
Random picture of Patrick. He was on hubby's chair. I snapshot it because it was in a cute pose. Haha... made me giggle and cheered my day.
Random italian meal which was owned by Japanese shop in Liang Court. Baked cheese rice with pork chop.
I treated hubby with Swenson's ice cream. Haha... I have been eating good food the past December. December is a month that good food is there all the time. Be it a gathering or something to nice to treat someone, it is because my birthday and Christmas is in the same month.
Last but not least, my meal in Swenson's, 1 week after my birthday, Khoo Yong (Fab2 SPC champion) treated us to Swenson's for all the hard work we did throughout 2009. So nice of him.
(I love the little guy by the bedside. He is from Swiss. He is a cow.)
The bed is pretty standard in all 5-star hotels, but what I love about this room is the coffee machine.
This is the mini bar that I love. The LavAzza coffee that I was addicted to during my stay in the room. I don't really drink coffee cause coffee makes me hyperventilate. Somehow this cofee don't. Haha... I basically drank 4 cups of coffee in within a day. The machine is quite easy to use.
Our breakfast was spent in the executive lounge where breakfast were prepared for us in a cosy manner. We do not need to "squeeze and rush" with other guests in the hotel on level2.
I love this candle as it is not a real candle but battery operated. Isn't this sweet.
I think the meal you see above are the tea breaks. Haha.. I did not capture any breakfast pic as it is pretty normal/standard food, but I love the raviolli made by Swissotel.
(The church that I attended with Jenn. I like the church. Calming!)
(See the greyish sky on the right? It is raining over there. Cool huh?)
Day view from the balcony of the room. (Right side of the pic is rain!)
Night view from the balcony of the room.
My pizza and champagne we had for dinner and supper in New Asia. This is my first time drink alot of champagne.. I was not high as I thought I would be, with the help of lots of pizza. Haha.. the first time I drank champange was during my wedding dinner, which I just took a sip. Moet & Chandon is nice. I like it. If you ask me which I prefer, wine or champagne? I will chose champagne. :)
Bought myself 2 pairs of everyday-wear shoes. 1 pair broke to half (sole part... darn, forgot to take a snap shot of it. I can bet you will be astonished with how the sole split to half and went disoriented from the original position and I manage to walk around with it from work to home!)
The blue pair is not so comfy but I like the simple design. My first blue flats. I am very particular with pumps cause I have sweaty feet and sweaty feet means "vacuum like" feeling in the shoes. I will get blisters. Amazingly, I did not get it with these pairs. The grey on is much more comfy. It comes with 2 colors, grey and beige. I wanted beige but it doesn't have my size, so I opt for the grey one.
I was quite amazed with the packaging. What I brought home was basically what you see in the picture above. No paper-bag at all. Isn't it cool? Imagine if every shoe shops does this, it helps to save more trees.
And here is my killer heels from Aldo. Well, I am proud of my purchases cause I have never splurged this much of money on shoes. I never believe is buying expensive shoes unless I know they can last for a long or reasonable length of time. Imagine my wedding shoes, I only wore it on the photoshoot day and the actual wedding day. Imagine, I spent about $120 on the sandals and wore it twice. Original price for Aldo is $175, but I got it with discounted price at $122.50.
This is Nine West. The price is the same as Aldo but it is from Nine West. Honestly, I never thought I would ever wore such branded shoes. All my life, I only admire these kind of shoes from magazines cause I told myself not to splurge on such expensive items where it cannot last. But which female can resist discounted branded shoes? And it is pretty! So, there goes a big hole in my pocket, $250 gone to 2 pairs of heels.
Nine West open-toe velvet shoes. I love this shoes and hubby says it is nice. If hubby agrees or gives positive remark means I must get it cause it is not easy to have good remarks from him especially on expensive items. All the he discourages me to splurge on over priced item but for this shoe, he gave me the green light. I love you bunny! (He gave me the green light for Aldo too... :) )
Trying to compare the height on my heels, I placed my IPhone beside the heels. Haha.. about 3.5 inches high. It is even taller than my IPhone. Aww... I am not sure if I will be the same height as hubby because all the existing heels that I have, I am still short than him by about 2 inches. Hopefully soon there will be a chance for me to wear these heels and have a picture taken of it. I hope it will be in my new home.
