Iluka Seaview Dinning

Introducing you guys to my new hairstyle... Short fringe... :)




Checked out Iluka Seaview Dinning this time round with the 3 Ds, which include Desmond and Desiree this time. Well, the view of the place was breath taking but the food was quite a disappointment. Totally didn't worth the $45 per head. They served international buffet BUT the selection was extremely limited. Sigh, but at least we enjoyed the view for a little while before the sun set. :)

Overall, I give them 2/5 hearts.

After that, we headed over to TCC in Town and witnessed some really interesting events. According to Miss D, the "night girls" are having a great time eating at TCC with compliments of 2 Caucasian men. Haha....

Job hunting

As you guys have noticed, since December last year, my life had been really monotonous. The reason why was because I was job hunting and there were nothing much that were worth mentioning. The only stuffs that are really worth talking about were the interesting places that I went to for food exploring. :D
Job hunting had been really tough, especially on an executive level. I had been looking for a job since December 2009. Seems like nothing had been going smoothly for me. Sigh.... It's not like I'm not sending resumes. I've sent out about 400+ resumes from various sources, like newspapers and internet. I even went to different recruitment agencies for at least 4-5 times... So I thought perhaps it's the CV problem, so I amended it. But to no avail... So I thought perhaps it's the cover letter problem this time, and I improved on it. BUT STILL TO NO AVAIL!!! Perhaps I was really picky... Didn't want to settle for a assistant position, didn't want to accept a pay that is lesser then $2200, didn't want to go back in my previous industry and of course didn't want to work in a SMC. In my opinion, I feel that I've paid so much money and put in so much effort for my Degree, I deserve better.... Maybe I'm asking for too much? Hates it when I kept sending resumes and not getting any response... It really hits badly on the self-esteem after sometime...
Finally, today I've been offered a job at an Advertising company. Although it's a SMC, I think I should not be a fussy. At least I'm able to gain some experience from here. :)

Tampopo

Met Laopo after her work for dinner and drinks. It's been such a long time since we last met up for dinner. She treated me to a yummy dinner at Tampopo. It's my first time there and I must say the serving is HUGE. Didn't really touch much of the rice.

Baked scallop with cheese


Overall, I rate it a 4/5 hearts.


After that, we headed over to Indo Chine to chat over a bottle of wine. :) Tons of gossips to share with each other.

K-Buffet

K-Buffet with Bun. It's been such a long time since I last went to karaoke. Really enjoyed myself. Thanks Bun. :D
Due to my hair, I shall post only 1 picture today... Haha...

Doong Ji Korean Restaurant

Checked out Doong Ji Korean Restaurant this time round. According to a local website, it was highly raved. So we decided to give it a shot. It's located at the far east of Singapore which made it very inconvenient for us as we stayed in the west. It made matter worst when the GPS brought us to the wrong place. The undependable GPS brought us to Upper East Coast Road which was not even close to where we wanted to go... Irritated and hungry, we almost wanted to give up. However we didn't and finally managed to find the place.
The restaurant was not something that I would expect. It was a family restaurant, small but very crowded. The crowd were mainly Koreans and a few locals. The restaurant was owned by a Korean couple and they serve authentic Korean cuisine. The service of the restaurant was excellent. When we were queuing, the boss even came to apologize and served us drinks to make our wait a pleasant one.

The side dishes and drinks were also topped up regularly and the staffs were really attentive.
We ordered the Ginseng chicken soup and the roast pork belly. Initially, I wanted to order 2 serving of rice but was advised by the boss that 1 serving of rice is actually more then enough because there is glutinous rice in the ginseng chicken soup. True enough, we hardly touched the 1 serving of rice and we were totally stuffed. What a waste of food... :( Thought the boss was quite nice to advise us accordingly and not made us order just for the sake of ordering. He could have ignored the fact that we were ordering too much in order for him to earn a little bit more from us. Really a honest chap and an additional plus point, he is actually quite good looking... Haha.

The ginseng chicken soup was really yummy, I could really taste the ginseng in the soup and it was really good. Especially on a wet and cold weather, there is only 1 word to describe it, Heavenly.

The roast pork belly was also very good. The meat was very soft and tender with a perfect amount of fats. I know it's really unhealthy but it's not an everyday issue that you consume such unhealthy good, right? The best part, you do not need to barbecue the meat yourself. Which means no more needing to smell of barbecue pork belly when you come out of the restaurant. Isn't it great?
Would really want to go back there to try their other authentic Korean cuisine. They look really good but spicy.

So overall I would give it a 4/5 hearts.

Meetup with Huizhen/Ambush

Met Huizhen at Jurong Point for dinner and she passed me a huge bag of goodies. Poor girl was down with a bad sore throat. Tried the pasta at the new pasta joint, Ambush. I had the cod fish pasta while Huizhen had the cabonara. It's quite nice actually. The creme sauce was a little different from the usual creme sauce that we had. 2 thumbs up for it. :D
After that, I went Chapter 2 for a haircut but it turned out to be a disaster... The stylist cut my fringe a little too short for my liking... :( Should have requested for my usual hair stylist to cut for me instead, but she was not around that day. Damn. Guess I will probably stay away from the camera for a couple of weeks.. Sigh.

Sentosa/Olive on my birthday

Yes, Bun took leave on my birthday. Finally he's all mine on this special day...

Our first stop was The Underwater World, we were just in time for the show. I was so happy that they finally brought the Dolphins to the Underwater World. No more needing to travel all the way to the Dolphin Lagoon which was located at some beach previously, now it's a walking distance from Underwater World and the best part it's sheltered. I enjoyed the sea lions and the dolphins performance. Felt like a kid, all excited when the stars came out and went "woo" and "ah" when they did a stunt. :) Never understand why I love The Underwater World so much, will never get sick of that place. Maybe it's because I'm a Pisces and Pisces is a water sign? Beware of the overwhelming loads of pictures.



The cute sea lions show.


The elegant pink dolphins show.


After the show, we carried on touring The Underwater World. Love seeing all the different types of sea creatures.

Sea Angels




I really like this picture. So funny...



After that, we went on to ride the Luge. It was quite fun but a little too slow for my liking. Maybe it is because I'm too light?




Next stop was the Resort World.










Dinner at Olive Ristorante. It was a disappointment. Their standard dropped tremendously. This is my last time patronizing them.

Portobello Mushroom


Parma Ham Pizza


Spaghetti Vongole with less the 15 vongole.


Lastly, was a little surprise from my family. Mum bought this strawberry cheesecake from Bakerzin, she even requested them to decorate it with strawberries. Oh, so sweet...


Junior went for a haircut today too... Which made him a happy puppy too... :)



Making a wish






Thanks everyone for the lovely birthday wishes. I feel very bliss to have all my love ones around me on this special occasion. Although it's simple but I'm already very contented. :D
