Hotpot craze!

Within around 1 week, I had hotpot twice! But it is awesome! Met up with Emerine, Meifern & Jena at NEX for a meet up & hotpot dinner! Went to 鲜得来 to give it a try. They serve in individual pots & their pots are very special.

Looks very antique yea? Haha.

From top left - anti clockwise: Emerine's duck soup, my si chuan ma la soup, Jena & Meifern's tomyum soup! I am so in love with the ma la soup base. Totally love it. 

I love it when the table is full of food! It just give me more appetite to eat! Though I can't eat A LOT! 

The girls! Please meet up soon again for more hotpot! 

Yesterday, our 3rd Anniversary! 3 years just pass so fast. As both of us got to work, we only meet up for dinner. Have been hearing from so many people that LeLe pot (乐乐锅) is nice & its always very crowded. So must reserve seats before going. So reserved seats the day before & true enough, it is really crowded. 

It is an air-conditioned hotpot place & the boss is someone who used to act in shows. Don't know his name but usually in those martial arts show. 

We can choose 2 soup base! So boyfriend & me chose ma la soup & herbal chicken soup. Yes, ma la again! It tastes almost the same as 鲜得来's. The ma la soup is very addictive. Hehee. I want more ma la steamboat!

The drinks i ordered. Ribena aloe vera freeze. It is very refreshing!

Boyfriend's kuku face! Haha!

Their buffet steamboat includes dessert too! They have choice of ice cream & bean curd  We tried their beancurd. Not too bad though.

The food are good. The service there, not too bad too. At least it is much better than I expected. Although when the staffs gets busier, our order came in after a long time & much reminders. But they are very apologetic which I don't find in other hotpot place. I'm someone who is very concern about the service. No matter how nice is the food, as long the service sucks, entering the shop again will not be in my consideration again. Whats more? Their price is very reasonable. I think this is the cheapest steamboat I've seen, i guess?
Monday - Thursday: $20.40 for adult.
Friday,Weekends,PH: $21.40 for adult.
Drinks are not included, so got to order separately.
& They don't have service charge. (Or maybe they have already included in the price.) So I think its is worth going back to have hotpot there again! Although the location ain't too convenient. But consider near to Tiong Bahru Mrt station.

Head back home after dinner. Super full but very satisfied. (:
Just a few more days, 2012 is coming to an end. I hope 2013 is a better year!

Love, a lifetime promise

Well.. Am current at work ( Attachment ) & was browsing through facebook. So, I came about this short story which it touches me after reading. I want to share it here because even though not much people visit this area here, but i want to read it again & again in years to come when i read back my old posts. So.. Here we go, The Passbook.

She married him today.

At the end of the wedding party, her mother gave her a newly opened bank savings passbook, with $1000 deposited in it.

She told her, "My dear daughter, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your married life. Whenever something happy and memorable happens in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the amount. The more memorabl

e the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with your husband. When you look back after years, you will know how much happiness you've both shared.'

She shared this with him after getting home. Both of them thought it was a great idea and couldn't wait to make the next deposit! This is what the passbook looked like after a while:

- 7 Feb: $100, his first birthday celebration after marriage

- 1 Mar: $300, she gets a salary raise

- 20 Mar: $200, vacation to Bali

- 15 Apr: $2000, She's pregnant!

- 1 Jun: $1000, He gets the big promotion

and so on...

However, as the years went by, they began fighting and arguing over trivial things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty person in the world...There was no more love.

One day she talked to her Mother. 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We have decided to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!'

Her mother replied, 'Sure, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want, if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing. Remember the savings passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

She agreed with her. So she went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to her. Her eyes were filled with tears. She left and went home.

When she got home, she handed the passbook to him and asked him to spend the money before getting divorced.

So the next day, he went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account. While he was waiting, he took a look at the passbook record. He looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to him. His eyes were filled with tears. He left and went home.

He gave the passbook back to her. She found a new deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I realized how much I've loved you throughout all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back into the safe.

Hope you, who visit this site will enjoy this story. (':
Shall end here now, updates on the events of my life soon!

Appealing Danglings

Its another week again. Its almost the mid of November. Time pass really fast. Its monday again tmr! But somehow I don't have the strong monday blueszxzsx feeling like i always feels for the past weeks! I don't know why. Maybe it is because FYPJ is ending? Just the last 2 weeks left! Or maybe because there's a public holiday this coming tuesday! Its Deepavali! Means its gonna be a shorter week. For my FYPJ, i just gonna finish my last small part, & I'm done with it. Yea, seems easy, but.. It is also the most complicated part. I hope i can finish it by tmr!

Then I'll start my IPP which is my attachment soon! Until now i still can't accept the fact that I'm going to Buddha Tooth Relic Temple for attachment! I just never expect myself to have to go attachment in a temple.
I have never heard of this temple until this attachment. & I will be there creating website. Heard from all my friends, their website has already been revamped. So... What else can i do? We shall seeeeeee...

Enough of school matters. My purpose of this post is to promote a little for my upcoming online business. Well, not exactly mine. Helping boyfriend to do it. It is named "Appealing Danglings" & it is selling accessories.. Please stay tune! It will be launched soon!

Goodbye October, Hello November!

In a few minutes time, November is arriving already. Time flies.. 2012 is ending already. & in a month time, its our 3rd year anniversary! In a blink of eyes, we've been together for 3 years already. Haven't really plan for anything for our 3rd year..

Today, planned to have KFC for lunch with Michelle & Davidson. So went to amk KFC. But only to realise that it is under renovation! There goes my cheese fries! So we ended up having lunch at Pizza hut! Super like that pan pizza.

Then we went to Fairprice to walk abit. & we saw this! (Photo above) Laugh like mad! Why can't they just use "$5.80 each". 

Into the mid-week of week 9, super worried & panick. Schedule behind time already. Time is running out! Been complaining to everyone who come & ask me how's my proj. I rather go back to academic phase. ): 

Waiting for IPP now! Briefing this friday. 

A brief one today. Tired already.. 

有你的日子，第1036天

In a few minutes time, its monday again! I'm already feeling the monday blueszxszxszxsz now! Ever since FYPJ starts, I dread for monday to be here.. Cause it is like another week of war! Week 9 of FYPJ is gonna start. & I'm getting worried, panick! Cause my progress of my work is very slow. Even slower than a snail! I'm really scared that I won't make it for my FYPJ. This is my final lap in NYP & I really wanna graduate on time, with all my classmates. 

I can't believe i'm saying this but I wish i'm back in the acad phase. Pros & cons for acad & FYPJ.

If only NYP allows us to choose either IPP or FYPJ only. Week 12 is getting nearer.. Good, is that FYPJ is ending. Bad, is that I don't know how to get through these 4 weeks! This is getting really stressed up! & No one I can turn to for help. I'm worried for my IPP yet also excited for it. Worried that i'm not able to handle the task given. Excited that I'm only left with 12 weeks & I'm freed from NYP! 

Sigh.. Theres so many things that i'm worried about. Is this the life of entering adulthood? 

But on the other hand, a happier note, boyfriend & me have received the letter from HDB with an appointment date to sign for the purchase of flat(?) Or something... Don't really know whats that but is something that has to do with our purchasing of flat. Everything is approved & settled. Now all we have to do is to wait for 2014 to get our keys.

Look at the calendar! October is ending & November is approaching.. Then Christmas is coming. This year is ending already. In a blink of eyes. our 3rd year anniversary is coming, in December. But haven't really planned for it. 

I may nag, may not seems to appreciate, but somewhere in me knew all that you've done for me. & I'm really happy that I have you in my life, my lifetime partner. 

Yours truly,

Ashlyn.

Back to blogging again!

Hellllooooooo~

Hellllllooooooooooo~ Wow. Time flies really really fast. It has been 7 months since i last blogged. Have been busy with school, life & also lazy to update =x  Almost forgot that this blog exist. 

Some updates of my life.Finally, i'm in my last year of poly life. Really can't wait to graduate next year. Exams are over & i hope that i didn't fail any of it. Pray hard! Now, i'm having my FYPJ. In my 2nd week now. 10 more weeks to go. The project i've got, is really challenging. Haven't did an Android project before.  Really hope that it isn't that difficult for me. Been a year that i didn't touch Java language already. ): Just pray for me! Things goes smoothly. 

Then last month applied house with boyfriend. Now waiting for the grant to be approved! Can't wait. I hope it will be approved. & we can start our own world in 2 years time. Sometimes, the waiting kills! 

Went to the doctor this morning. As i fell & sprain my ankle yesterday night. Felt giddy at first then unknowingly fainted. First time encountering this. So thought it would be better to do some checks. Took blood test & ECG, some problem with my ECG. So i'm referred to heart specialist. Hopefully everything went well. 

Alright. Gonna get some rest probably. 

Till next time...

Another day full of thoughts

Its another normal day that just past by. Many many thoughts today which again, had a battle with myself.
There are really many things I don't know it is really coincidental or not. Life is never fair. Same goes for the things that happened around us.

It may be coincident incident but i really feels its really unfair sometimes. It may be some small stuffs that i'm requesting for. But I think its not something too much to ask for.

I'm feeling that I am stretching my own limit like a rubber band. I don't know when will it snap. Oh well, I supposed no one will understand of all the above that i've type. I think as you read on, There are many question mark on your head thinking " What is she trying to say " Haha.

Shall stop talking about things that you all don't know what i'm talking about.

Just now as I reach home, my nephew asked me a primary school maths question which he don't know how to do. This is the question.

I remembered I used to hate this kind of maths question during my primary school period. I tend to avoid all this question. But still, i had math tuition last time & i attempt this kind of question many times. 

First thing I do after reading the question is to take a photo of the question & post it on Facebook to ask my sis how to do it. As she doesn't have whatsapp, so it difficult to ask her through phone. 

While waiting for her reply, I just couldn't believe that i don't know how to do this question. As some part of me tells me that I know how to do it. Just that i'm lazy to think deeper. So I didn't give up & try to attempt the question. Just as I finish working out the workings, my sis tag me another photo of the solution.

This is the working solution to it. Lucky I'm still able to attempt to this kind of questions. Cause I really love to avoid this kind of question in exam & that explains me getting a D in my PSLE result for math. 

Okay, probably I shall sleep now. If not my mind wouldn't stop running. Seems like it never gets tired. 

With love,

Ashlyn

First post in 2012

Greetings! Well, it has been awhile since I really blog something. Its not that I don't want to blog. Sometimes I really got the feel to blog about my everyday life. But I don't know why each time i click on the "Create a post" button, & when i come to this compose post page, I will just day dream for at least half an hour. Not knowing how to start a post. A post that would be interesting. Though i know that not much of people would read my blog. But at least I want it to be interesting so that when i read back all my posts, it might keeps me going to keep blogging. & I'm very sad that all the pictures that i've posted on all my previous posts cannot be viewed anymore! ): Damn sad! Without the pictures, It looked all so ugly ):
Why izzit like that? Anyone knows?

It has been really long since I entered blogger website. Their new layout changed so much! I had a hard time trying to explore and figure out how it works. The template provided in blogger website it pretty good. Simple & nice. I just had a hard time trying to figure out how to place my Nuffnang ads in this template.
Keep on trying & trying. & I'm pretty sure that what i've done is right but the logo just doesn't comes out!

Then... I realised that... I copied the wrong code to the wrong place =x Haha! Damn blur! But at least I manage to do it.

Life has been good. CNY is over but can't really celebrate as my grandma passed away few months back. Its just the 2nd month of 2012 & quite a few things happened.

One of it which I still feels sad about it is that I lost my Iphone ): Call me careless, but I don't want it to happen either. But the closed ones around me only knows how to nag at me being so careless. Well, I supposed they don't realise that I'm already feeling bad about it.. Oh well, its over now.

Borrowed my sis's blackberry but also feels bad about it. As her phone is gonna spoil already & she thought she could use it. In order to return her ASAP, I decided to try on Android phone. I sign up a new line at SingTel & guess what phone I got for myself?

Yup, this is it. Samsung Galaxy Note. So far so good for this phone. But I still miss my IPhone ):

I'm so broke now! So many friends celebrating their 21st birthday this year! Seriously, I'm so freaking broke! ): 

& I'm still in process of saving up for 2 things that I aim to get it this year! Which I hope it can be done. 

I'll reveal the 2 things when I really got it. (: 

Talking about celebrating for 21st. Of course, i'm celebrating it this year too. Booked chalet at Pasir ris Costa Sands, 16,17,18 of march. But my actual birthday is on the 19th. But since is a weekday, i supposed many people would not be able to make it. So decided to celebrate a little earlier. So friends, if you're invited please let me know if you're coming soon alright? As I need to prepare for the food catering already. 

Thats all for now! Its already 3:15am! & I have to wake up at 8.30am later! Got a revision lesson at 10am! 

Goodnight readers.

PS: Please help me to click on the Nuffnang ads okay? Thank you so much! 

With love,

Ashlyn
