Dear's Birthday and Mother's Day (updated)

Sat 090509

Had Bar CHar mee with his family in the morning at Changi first. Then rest of the day was spent drawing out plans and going to the supermarket to buy ingredients for the chalet and back to his place to prepare stuff. Dear was being as "efficient as possible" lol. After that he went to meet his friends in the evening for dinner. Dear fetched me to the mrt station and I went to find mum and sis at Far East who were shopping there. hmm nothing interests me over there.. the clothes are all so cutesy and small lar zzz

After Far East shopping, brought them to Raffles Shoppin Centre to buy the fish shaped waffles then went over to Gelare to treat them icecream :)
one waffle with 3 scoops of ice-cream.. one scoop for each person lol

We then took express bus back home.

For breakfast at Changi, it was showcased in a tv variety


the noodles very Q, thinner than usual mee pok and there's lots of sauce
I like the mushrooms in it~

the soup is really good! not your usual plain fishball soup with lots of pepper.. they use "kee poh" to stew



Gelare waffle! with mum and sis at City Link

Day of dear's chalet! I went over to dear's place around 11am to help prepare and skewer stuff and then after that were a frenzy of activities..Went to pick the satay and otah, went to buy ice and went to pick the cake from Awfully Chocolate before proceeding to the chalet for check-in.

Before I reached dear's place, I gotten two bouquets of flowers too for Mother's Day. For my family this year, dad chose a wallet and bag for mum and we all shared the present hahah..mum was smiling while saying why waste so much money... :P

Sharon was the first. Mum and sisters were next.. then his friends came in batches
hmm.. I love bbqing.. I prefer to bbq for people. :P quite fun actually..
Candy and Jeff came later and another 2 of his army mates came much later.

And we had like lots of photo taking and also my polaroid and then it was the cake. Luckily they like the cake I chose. Chocolate fudge with rum and cherry.

His family and my family went off first then Jeff and candy leaving the guys with us.
I think we overdid it on the food.. But I managed to bbq everything and the guys managed to finish it hahah what a feat. dont waste food mah.. better to keep cooked food then raw ones.

And dear was being tackled by the guys.
after dear was helped upstairs by the guys, they also helped me to pack the place.. thanks to them again.

well.. the chalet was worth all the time and effort that we spent preparing. :)

Went back to dear's place in the morning after check-out to bath and sleep..
and for dinner just now, we explored new place for steamboat.
LELE HOTPOT at TIONG BAHRU.. budget price, clean and cosy... and there were like at least 6 different types of soup with various steamboat items including cooked ones.. all for less than $20/pax!
highly recommend for a fuss-free steamboat..
