Fast and Furious 6, Itacho Sushi, Marble Slab Creamery

Derp and I caught Fast and Furious 6 over the Vesak day holiday. We managed to catch it before jetting off to Taiwan. We'll be back for hangover 3 :)

For those who have not watch Fast and Furious 6,

*spoiler alert*

I prefer FF 5 over FF 6 probably because FF 5 was the first time Dwayne Johnson appear on FF series which makes the movie awesome. Vin Disel and Dwayne Johnson. woo hoo! The scene whereby they steal the whole money safe from the police station is still deeply engraved on my mind.

Somehow, I start to find FF6 getting a little too predictable (though there's lots of unexpected twist inside) and there's even FF7 now. Never ending movie that has some sort become a series movie, but at least they finally put an end to Tokyo Drift.

There's many funny scenes in FF6 but there's also some sort of WWE  scenes. Like when Dom and Hobbs fighting with Shaw and one super big size guy, it's sooooo WWE. 

Btw, I didn't expect Han and Gisele to just die in the FF6. I thought that this crew can just act till FF10 or more. Perhaps they need to have budget for Jason Statham who will be appearing in FF7 for revenge. 

I hope that FF7 will not be disappointing. It's not easy making a series movie afterall because everyone expects more and more each time. 

Fast and Furious 6 trailer if you have not seen it.



Derp and I headed over to Jcube after our movie for a sushi dinner date as Derp feels like eating sushi. But I didn't know he expecting sushi restaurant with conveyor belt type. I brought him to Itacho Sushi which don't have the conveyor belt seats. I shall bring him to Sushi Express next time.

Anyway, it was a sushi affair so We didn't order any mains. Just sushi all the way!

Looks so real but they are not!

The authentic way to eat sushi.

I forgot the name of the left hand sushi but it's like those beancurd wrap sushi just that it's spicy salmon something one. I can't remember le. The name is quite long. On the left is fish roe sushi. Derp love to have fish roe.

Salmon and Salmon roe with a little rice before. Both of us love the salmon roe!

More salmon sushis and there's the smoked duck breast sushi in the middle. First time trying it and I actually find it not bad. It's their promotion item.

California Maki and Salmon roll.  Yummy!

Our total bill costs up to $26 after all the gst and service charge, not forgetting the 2 cups of hot green tea. It's not my first time there but at least their sushi are affordable and fresh enough for my liking.

Since We didn't had any mains, We were around 80% full. I crave for the waffle ice cream when We pass by Marble Slab Creamery. I went to Miyoc to see blogshop clothes and after I'm done, Derp and I went back Marble Slab Creamery to get the waffles ice cream. They are just toooo tempting. Marble Slab is having a promotion for their waffle ice cream, waffle with 2 scoops of ice cream at $13.80 :)


Coffee ice cream for Derp and Red Velvet ice cream for me.

My first time trying Red Velvet ice cream and the color attracts me the most. So prettyyyyy! But to be honest, it's a little too sweet for my liking.


A shot before our waffle ice cream. :)

The waffles are not bad, but both Derp and I miss the waffle ice cream from Createaf Waffles. We are so going to go back there soon.

Derp and I went to Franc Franc to get some inspiration for our house. I happen to see all this cute cushions. They are so comfy but super expensive. If I never remember wrongly, it's around $20++ for 1. There's hot pink for the cushions but I think the blue cushions are prettier. :)

We had our xmas exchange at Jurong Point - Malaysia Boleh. Okay there's this fasinating fact about this place. I stayed near jurong point,  so whenever there's new shop in jurong point, i'm bound to know it first hand. If i'm not wrong, Malaysia Boleh was opened late last year, probably sep/oct, i cant really remember when but its like quite sometimes ago BUT everytime i want to dine in there, its always crowded. When i say always, i really mean always and i just go in turn one round and get out. The crowd at malaysia boleh never get to lessen even though there's other fantastic food in Jurong Point, even till this date its still crowded! 

I've been wanting to try the clay pot rice from Malaysia Boleh cause i think i've tried a the best claypot rice when i was in KL! When i go in and took a look without dining in, i've set my eyes on the claypot rice and wonder does it taste the same as the one i ate in KL.

I finally got a seat at Malaysia Boleh after work 1 day. Machiam strike toto, super hard to find seats even though i was there early like 7pm. I still got to hanged around awhile to wait for seats. omg!

So here's what we ordered at Malaysia Boleh that day. They called themsevles the Pertaling Street Famous Claypot Chicken Rice. Pertaling is the 'chinatown' in KL which i had my lok lok and the clay pot rice there. So when i see it, i was hoping it has exactly the same taste as the one i had in KL cause i really misses it. And YES its really the SAME! whahahha! I'm so happy!! I can finally satisfy my claypot rice craving in singapore without going to KL. :) I've been craving for it since i come back from KL. 

Now where can i get Bak Kwa in SG that taste like those in KL? hmmm

Anyway other than the claypot rice, we also shared prawn noodle and the hokkien mee. I know it looks like fried kuay tiao in SG. lol. I think the food is overall not bad leh if u know what to order of cause. I shall tabao the claypot rice home one day since i know getting a seat there is as good as striking toto/4d. 

Happy me with the claypot rice. Sinful but yet so yummy :) Just tell myself to exercise more after that than. lol. Its worth it!

The xmas card that li hua gave me. so pretty~ Thanks!

Oh ya in early dec, i took my first try on FTT. Was quite confident cause i studied it quite thoroughly. End up i failed :( but Li Hua passed on first attempt. But i never give up, booked my next test date on 19th Jan which is 2 days ago, was having slight fever the night before and when i woke up, i think i never even studied that hard for this FTT, i was even late cause its raining cats and dogs the whole of sat all over singapore. I passed the 2nd time round! 49/50!! :):). So happy can? Was still afraid if i fail again is damn sian la! Li Hua has been waiting for me to apply the PDL together. so kind of her :) Yes we are going to apply it damn soon and start finding our driving instructors :) One step closer to my driving license.

Next up, another big happenings of dec 2012 is the birth of baby Emme. she's born on 12/12/2012. so nice date right? By right she should be out on 13/12/2012, but her mother decide to get induce on 12/12/2012. Almost couldnt make it cause she just dont want to come out lol. In the end she was borned around 10pm that night. I was contacting Karen the whole day wondering whats the progress and should we go down on 12/12 or 13/12 depend son what time baby is out lol. We even bought ready all the gifts and etc. Till a point no reply from her, i know she's in too much pain liao! next moment after i bathe, i receive a message saying baby out liao! :)

Me and the 1 day old Emme!

Our boss and colleagues went down on 13/12 after work to visit karen and to see baby Emme! She's so small in my arms! I'm glad she did open her eyes when i'm carrying her that time! Anyway Karen gave birth without the use of epidural. super brave girl can? *full respect to her* lol. Her story is well known to our bosses and colleauges. Hopefully i can see her during CNY Luo Hei. By then she's around 2 months old le! hehe.

And last but not least, i attended Love Bonito sales with hazel. Got myself 3 dress from the sales and they are selling at $18 dollars each. Hazel bought 2 dress + 1 top. :)

Us after the sales.

Anyway the BEST part of the sales is to get to see Love Bonito founders~ They each at different cashiers. So when it was our turn to pay, i'm so glad it was rachel! lol. I treat her as my 女神! She's so pretty and she got a god damn good figure :)

Hazel, me and Rachel!

She asked us our names and even ask us where we working and is it far from the sales event. lol. When she asked our names we couldnt reply her. Think we just dumbfounded at that point of time by her beauty. lol. I will defintely go to future love bonito sales if  time allows :)
