at making cheesecake. sob sob! Got the no bake cheesecake recipe from Diana, but I did not add in sufficient gelatine, therefore the cheese mixture wasn't able to solidify. Tasted a bit of the mix, it was kinda sourish, will have to add lesser lemon juice the next time round. The crust base was also too thick, have to reduce the number of crashed biscuits.
My colleague will try to check out for me whether her neighbourhood shop is selling those sachets packed gelatine, if not I will try to get it from the shop which sells all the bakery stuff that is near dear's place.
Might have a second attempt this Sunday, shall see about that. Hehe! (^o^)

eventful
Saturday is a pretty eventful day. First of all, Jackson and I went to collect our wedding bands. Lucky the design turn out satisfactory except that dear's ring was slightly tight on his finger. Hence, it have to go for alteration. No picture of the rings yet. Will take a shot of the rings when dear go and collect them this week.
Next we went to check out Amara Hotel which was the last on our list. Beforehand, we have viewed Carlton, Club Chinos, Park hotel and Merchant Court. We are quite keen on Amara Hotel as the ballroom has a modern look with the ceiling lined with fibre optics that resemble a constellation of stars. The size is also just nice for 30-33 tables and it is column free! The food menu looks better than the rest and it is 9 course dinner. Most important of all, it is within our budget. Hopefully, the hotel will throw in more perks for us especially on the beer and wine. p(^o^)q
Lastly, we went to watch "Transformer" on digital format!. Yippe! It is much more clearer and is the same price as the normal screenings. I loved it very much! It was the best movie I have enjoyed this year. It certainly brings back childhood memories of watching the "Transformers" cartoon on telly, even though in the movie version the transformers appeared to be more highly developed and advanced looking. Will there be a part 2 in the future? Maybe not because Megatron had been defeated by the Autobots. Yeah!

TGIF + hamper
Yippe Friday is here! Friday is my favourite day of the week and I kinda like fridays because....
it means I can start to wind down....
it means weekend is just round the corner....
it means spending quality time with loved one....
it means meeting dear for dinner....
it means I can stay up late watching dramas....
it means I can wake up late the next day (provided that sat I am not working)....
With so much reasons, it is hard to hate it right?
Above is the chocolate hamper I got from a subcon for my bdae. It comes with a small bouquet of roses. Lovely! The wooden crate looks cute right? I got my carpenter subcon to stain it to a walnut colour to make it more pretty. Well the chocolates are all from Lindt and they have been all consumed by my colleagues within a short span of a few days. Lucky I brought home a small box so that I can munch on while watching TV. Hehe!
In case you guys are wondering how come a subcon send me a hamper for bdae, well I also do not understand. He called me the day before enquiring about some work related stuffs then he asked me whether I am free for dinner the next day. I told him "我佳人有约了，明天是我的生日." Next day, I got the hamper. Hmmm....funny right?

crazy sellers
These days the prices for HDB are going sky rocket high! Last friday, the newspaper reported that someone bought a Tiong Bahru 5rm flat for $675k!! The valuation was $550k, which means the buyer have to fork out $125k cash above valuation. The worst thing is, the buyer is a enbloc sales person and he/she paid the flat with FULL CASH!! They are really the black sheeps and causing the property market to go crazy.
Last night, my property agent called me saying there is a 4rm at AMK and the seller is asking for $350k!! OMG! The estimated valuation for the flat at that area is about max $260k. Yes, that means is close to $100k above valuation!
How can we afford to pay such a amount? They really think everyone is a enbloc sale buyer whose pockets are full of cash??!! We are just ordinary, average income Singaporeans who just want to get a HDB flat because we can't afford a private apartment. I thought HDB should be more afforable?
When can we have our own flat??

all done in a day
Yesterday jackson and I took a day's leave to attend our friends' ROM (now they are officially Mr & Mrs Chan). It started very early in the morning as the whole ceremony need to be completed before 9am. Don't know whether it is lucky or what, it started to rain after the ceremony has ended. Haha! Then it was followed by the buffet brunch.
After the brunch, we went to pay our deposit for our ROM venue and hopped down to Shaw Centre to see wedding bands. In the end we decided on the spot in the shop, selected the design we want and paid deposit. We also did some engraving on the rings. We settled on JK.WT.271007 which our name initials and the date of our ROM. About 2 weeks later, we will be collecting out rings.
In the evening, we decided to tagged along with Mr & Mrs Chan to their Bridal Studio to returned their ROM gown and suit. In the same day we also confirmed with this Bridal Studio as their offer is very attractive and most importantly I like their gowns. Tried on 1 of them which is a bustier with sequins around, I fell in love with it immediately! :)
Wow now looking back, we have done quite alot in 1 day time....
