=)

the earliest birthday gift of the year.

its another surprise from him =D

i didnt mean to have him to buy me this when we talked about a similar pen i have last month. he mentioned that he ever bought a Swarovski hello kitty pen, and i jokingly stretched out my hand in front of him. haha. didnt expect him to really get me this.

so we have the habit of wishing each other early birthday? =.= 

i wished him early, and now he did the same

that special man. he will be missed

time to say goodbye

its very heavy to leave
i hate to leave
especially leaving this site
the place where i grow up at
i regret not to be able to see the birth of the tiling profile of the rooms and toilets, which i proposed.
i regret not to see the birth of the screeding of the planter boxes. i proposed the water fall levels ohhh. okay i know its easy, but I was without any knowledge on those things.
im gonna miss
the concrete the cement the brick
the rebar the wire mesh
the formwork
the columns the beams the slabs the staircases the lift walls the acotec wall panels the swimming pool the koi pond the studio unit the 1bedroom unit the 2bedrooms unit the basements the substation
the workers and site supervisors whom i always teased
the site engineers(structural and m n e)
and especially, the man

geared up with my 5kg of safety harness for the one last time this morning
bidding everything on site farewell deep inside my heart

 guess they would cast this piece of slab on coming tuesday or wednesday

 the container office of main contractor. RE RTO room and meeting room are below this.

Bid his staffs farewell.
an uncle senior engineer who always bully me said, "eh we will miss u leh.. eh really really.. monday u what time lunch? Majid lorry have, we go find u"
its very touched to have him to said so. just dont care whether will he do it, but he has that heart, that makes me very touched.
Safety Coordinator, who always check on me whether i have my phone with me, cause i dropped my phone on site before and had a really good time searching high and low for it =.= , said that he will miss me too! my heart got even heavier...... one wont know how heavy it is for me to leave. i hate leaving these people!!!
Majid, the main con's driver, also got shocked when knowing that its my last day today. those general workers whom I'm quite okay with also looked unbelievable..
its at least 10mths time that we got together. the bond is there

only that man always bully me =.=
even on my last day still teased me =.=

cheesecakes

tried out two types of un-bake cheesecakes, and since i dont have any electrical appliances with me, both were made MANUALLY, which is, by my hands lorrrr

 failed on the first one. should have added gelatin. should have cut the portion of honey and yogurt. and also shouldnt use marigold yogurt, should really really use greek yogurt.

it melted within like 10mins after taking it out from the fridge =.=

since i bought two blocks of Philadelphia cream cheese, and failed the first, i dare not to try on the same type of cheesecake again. couldnt afford to fail the next one. as i was kind of running out of time.

then tried on this layered cheesecake on end of October. quite a success, where i really really cut a lot on honey and really really really used greek yogurt but just two or three tablespoons. and it turned out to be okay.. at least this can tahan for about or more than half hour? should have added a bit of gelatin too.. but since it's still okay, so could not be bothered much about the gelatin. and i was really really running out of time. didnt wanna try third time.

both types tasted ok to me. in fact i do like the taste :P so i delivered a portion on 3rd Nov.

but that man sounded like didnt quite like the taste :P cause i added a bit of lemon juice so it tasted slight sourish, and thank God the honey i added was not much that he couldnt really taste the honey. what a weird man not to like honey =.=!!!

it was my first time baking a cake. people said this is baking, but to me, this is just mixing the ingredients.. to bake is with oven... hahahaha spare me with my weird logic XDDDD

and it was his first time to have someone to bake a cake for his birthday. what a honour...... he claimed that the honour is his, since it was my first time baking a cake. hey, it was mine too okay... to be the first to bake a cake for him :P :P haha!!

happy birthday!=)

he was not around, so i had to get this done earlier before his birthday.

French dining

went for French dining at Saveur, at Far East Plaza last Sunday with another two sisters.

always wanted to try this restaurant but no kaki, and heard that it gets fully occupied very fast... 

so happened that one of the girls suggested this place, so off we went =D

it opens at 1130am on Sunday. be early!!! the restaurant gets full just a while only!!!!

not knowing what's good besides the famous duck confit, so we had the waitress to introduce us what are good as entree, plat principaux and dessert =D

the entree

 Tuna - marinated tuna with avocado salsa

 the slight fruity Foie Gras, with slices of apple and raisins

 Mushroom Cappuccino - still prefer Bella Italia's XD

the Plat Principaux

 pan seared Seabass - we actually savoured the sauté potatoes more than the Seabass XD XD

 the famous Duck Confit!!!!!! the mashed potato is nice too!!! =D

 Beef Bourguignon, with nice salad too!! =)

 Rosemary, the Shanghai girl, who suggested this restaurant, happily with her duck bone XD guess she would be the first who savour even the bone XD

 Foie Gras again!!! this is with creamy lentils and pickled pearl onion. still prefer the fruity one. teehee

the Dessert

Chocolate and Hazelnut - chocolate mousse with raspberries and stuffs. too sweet for me >_<

Pistachio Panna Cotta -pistachio flavoured cooked cream and the pistachio. i do like the flavour, tho quite sweet still 

Strawberry parfait - not bad. quite refreshing as compared to the other two. 

part of the interior

overall, it's very good, the price, taste, and service. not very expensive, counted as worthwhile. three of us and it's only about $122.
anticipating for the 2nd visit =)
