Happening Week

Last week was a happening week for fashionably yours.  Was on leave last Monday so headed to the spa at Holland Village for a relaxing full body scrub and massage in the afternoon.  I love it when I was the only customer at the spa in the afternoon while most of the people are working in the office.  Had the aromatherapy full body massage.  It was so convenient for me since it is just nearby and within walking distance.  After I am done at the spa, met up with a tai tai friend for afternoon tea.  The two of us were chilling at Coffee Bean and Tea chit chatting happily. I had the swedish berry tea while my tai tai friend had the ice blended latte.  Thereafter we headed to do some grocery shopping at Holland Village cold storage. We had lots of fun at the supermarket.  What do you think when you put "Carrie" and "Samantha" together (SATC). Use your imaginations and be creative.  SATC is one of my favourite sitcom.  Fashionably yours love chilling at Holland Village and it is where I am residing.  If you see me at Holland Village, say Hi to me.  All are welcome to Holland Village.

Last Tuesday night, met up with bestie who is back from Japan, for dinner.  Glad to see each other.  We actually wanted to dine at our favourite place Royal Coppenhagen Tea Lounge but found out it has closed and now TWG is the new tenant there.  While we were there last Tuesday, TWG was yet to open for business.  In the end we went to dine at The Canele at The Paragon.  I find that the food at The Canele is so so only.  That place is only good for a hot cup of tea, cakes, pastries and desserts.  Fashioinably yours love to eat their strawberry shortcake. However it was sold out while we were there after 8pm.  I was so sore about it.  Next time, I must go there during lunch hour  to buy my favourite strawberry shortcake. 

Fashionably yours had the carbonara while bestie had the marinara spaghettini and madagascar ice cream sorbet

My Carbonara

We chatted  for a while after we had our dinner, before we headed home sweet home. 

In fact, fashionably yours was super busy at work recently and is my peak period at work.  Had been working like mad for the past 3 weeks due to our financial year end closing and beginning of our new financial year. I have been working till about 8pm++ and last one to leave office.  We need to clear our annual leave before 31 March 2011.  That's why I was on leave on and off too to rest in between.  

Last Thursday, met up with some friends in the afternoon at Sakae Sushi for their afternoon tea buffet at Wisma Atria.  The company was great but the food is so so only. Sakae Sushi's standard has dropped compared to last time. We find the cuting of the sashimi is not that nice and not much variety for the sushi.  Fashionably yours still prefer to dine at  Sushi Tei over Sakae Sushi.  We had lots of laughters and fun that afternoon.

Guess all these activities help me to destress.  Yes fashionably yours work hard but I play harder too.  As I am blogging now, I am glad to announce that my important reports are done and submitted.  There are still some more reports to do but I don't have to rush them like mad.  I was working last weekend rushing out my reports.  Glad I am able to rest, relax and recharge this weekends.  Yippe ! I am so HAPPY. 

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Strawberries Sunday

Fashionably yours shopped happily at Holland Village Cold Storage on a lazy Sunday afternoon.  It was not so crowded and a breeze to make payments at the cashier.  Bought strawberries at SGD1.50 per punnet and each customer can only purchase up to 2 punnets per transactions.  Not many were left on the shelf while I was there.  Luckily I saw it and bought it.  Strawberry is my favourite fruit.  What is your favourite fruit ?

The 2 punnets of strawberries which I bought.  Yum...yum...yum....

The offer is only valid on Sunday while stocks lasts.  By the time you are reading this blog post, the offer is already over.

Got picked up AGAIN......

Yesterday fashionably yours chilled out at Holland V while running some errands in the afternoon. It was nice to see old friends there. Managed to get some errands done and did my groceries shoppings at the Cold Storage in the evening.

The quiet Holland Village in the afternoon

While I was with Nana, something funny happened. Fashionably yours was picked up again. I was looking at some beautiful necklaces, suddenly this man came up to approach me.

The interesting Pick-up conversation :

Man : Hi, I was looking at you just now and was attracted by you.

Me : Oh is it.

Man : You are very beautiful and I would like to get to know you. I am XXXX.

Me : Hi, I am XXXXX

(We shake hands)

Man : Are you married and a tai-tai ? I was looking at your rings you are wearing on your hands and you look like a tai-tai.

Me : Can I don't say it ? You will be disappointed if I tell you I am married and a tai-tai right ?

Man : Sure and yes. Can I buy you a drink and get to know you.

Me : I'm sorry I am not free now, have things to do.

Man : How can we keep in contact ?

Me : You can leave me your contacts and I will contact you.

Man : I have a pen but no paper.

Nana : I will contribute the paper.....Never in my 26 years, have I seen a local so daring to approach a lady. (lol)

So he leave down his contacts (mobile phone and email id) for fashionably yours but I did not give him my contacts. That is the way to handle those man approaching you, the lady, outside. Never exchange your contacts with them because you don't know their background. If you must leave, just leave your email contact will do.

I was in shocked because I was looking at some necklaces and suddenly this man approached me out of the blue. Initially I was thinking is he a film director, requesting me to appear in his movie....but it was not. He just want to get to know me. Urgh !

Of course, the first person I informed was my big. Told him about this incident and he gets nervous. LOL. My big was working hard at his office when I informed him on this. At least my big cares for me when he showed he was nervous.....but I think my big is full of confidence. I was thinking maybe after I told my big about this incident, my big will cancel his plans to fly off today. Not at all, after I assured my big that nothing is gonna happen and I will not date that man, still want my big to fly to run some errands for me back home in the States.

Well, I was thinking, at that hour in the evening, how come this man who approached me was so free to be at Holland V. Shouldn't he be at his office working hard at his career and job. My big is definitely 100 times better than him. Cannot fight with my big. I like man who worked hard at his career. That's also one of the reason why I love my big. My big is getting used to fashionably yours being picked up by men outside. My big will tease me about it but I know he is nervous deep inside his heart......hahaha. We are always teasing each other.

I know my big is a busy man with a demanding professional career and I really appreciate him talking to me while he is working. His time is expensive too. I try not to disturb him when he is busy at work. His small gestures and concerns towards me, means alot to me. Love is not measured by material wealth. I would prefer those small gestures, care and concerns for me though my big has no problem to shower me with material wealth. I feel my big is a man whose actions speak louder than words.

Feel blissful and happy.

Magazine and Food

Yesterday Fashionably yours bought Her World magazine - Dec 2008 issue using my Kinokuniya cardmember 20% discount. It comes with a Free Clutch. It has five colours namely Red, Black, Green, Orange and Grey. I chose the Red one. I think the Red one is selling fast. Not many left while I was there.

Last night I had a bad headache (as blogged in my last post). It is not panadol that cures me. Guess what, it is a can of Heineken beer that cures my headache. I think I have tension headache due to my stressful work schedule for the past few weeks. Immediately after I drank the can of Heineken beer, it relieves my tension headache. Viola ! my headache is gone and I feel so relaxing and slept very well. However, I still prefer to drink Carlsberg and Hoegarden beer.

I just had some munching of tidbits this afternoon, but it is the healthy tidbits, while watching ugly betty.

The bottle of salsa sauce which I bought from Cold Storage

My packet of Yogurt & Green Onion Chips from Kettle brand

This brand is my favourite as it does not contain trans fat,

a healthy choice, though abit expensive

Yummy

Followed by drinking

my favourite Darjeeling tea

Last evening, fashionably yours dropped by Cold Storage at Holland Village to shop for my grocery shoppings. Bought the Kettle brand chips, Salsa sauce, some chocolates, honey bake ham, a can of Heineken beer and a packet of cream of chicken soup. I enjoyed shoppings and chilling out at Holland Village. Saw three suave and good looking English men at Cold Storage. They are so cute, standing at the fridge choosing Magnum ice cream. At the cashier, another Englishman stirkes up a conversation with me, while I was in the quene. He is a friendly chap. Anyway I am always in contact with Englishman, or rather these friendly Englishman Caucasians expatriates like to be friend with me wherever I go. There are lots of expatriates at Holland Village, the place where I am putting up currently. Sometimes I feel like I am in Europe when I was hanging out there with the expatriates. Love the place and most of the shop owners know me since I am a regular there.

On a side note, Lemon-san commented that fashionably yours is speaking the American accent and slang, which he has difficulties understanding. My big's American accent is stronger than me, you bet. Lemon-san will have a hard time communicating with my big. Actually I am just speaking the proper English, I don't think it is my American accent.
