We had a very tight schedule for the night after work yesterday and ended up asking KuKuNehNeh’s (KKNN) parents to help buy some takeaway for us to save time.

So we were eating from the same packet of fried beehoon when we realized that it wasn’t going to fill neither of us up. We were down to the last 5-6 mouthfuls when I decided to let her have it all being the AWESOME bf that I am. :p

Me: “Eh dear, you can finish the rest of the beehoon. I had enough.”

KKNN: “No dear, you finish it up. You must be hungry.”

“Ah? But I’m sure it’s not enough for you. I am not that hungry now.”

“No, no. You eat it!”

“Er…. okay lor.”

As I begin to finish up the rest of the food, she suddenly jumps up and had a wonderful grin on her face as she exclaimed,

“HEHEHEHEEE… I go get my big pack of Kettle potato chips to eat.”

And she skips happily away to get her cheddar chips.

That was probably her plan all along to leave space for the above…

I love this woman to bits!

Singtel INQ Mini 3G was launched at Civic Plaza and bloggers & celebrities were invited to attend the very nicely set up containers in front of Ngee Ann City.

Twitter, being a integral selling point of the INQ Mini 3G, coupled with the enthusiasm of the bloggers in the same room as Dawn, made her pretty interested in figuring out what Twitter is.

"Twitter si simi lai eh?"

Randall shows the ropes

Dawn Yeoh signs up

Unlike the America where most celebrities have more or less embraced social media, especially Twitter; only a handful of local celebrities have actually done the same. Thanks to Randall and the bloggers, Dawn Yeoh and Jesseca Liu have at least signed up for Twitter and we await with baited breath if they will actually use their accounts regularly. Go add em and urge them on!

KuKuNehNeh and I were walking around AMK Central after a very heavy breakfast at KFC during the weekend when she said that she wanted to try eyebrow threading. It was probably the unsavoury waffles and omelettes sitting in my stomach that spoke when she asked, “You wanna try threading too?”

I said, “Ok.”

It was akin to standing hundreds of feet up on a precipice with nothing but a rope attached to your legs when I lay on the chair thinking, “Er…. why did I sign up for this?”

I will probably be sounding whiny from this moment on as it was BLOODY PAINFUL! Who in the right frame of mind would sit there and let someone rip your eyebrows out using threads? I involuntarily teared while the attendant (probably) smirked as she see this grown man wearing pink, sniffing (had a runny nose lar!) and tearing at her every move.

I have to admit that my eyebrows look so much neater after the threading. I am just thinking that maybe….just MAYBE… that the pain that eyebrow threading causes is worth it.

Can’t tell how much better my eyebrow looks?

Let me show you a ‘before’ pic.

Anyone prefers my old look? Wahahahahaaha!

A colleague of KuKuNehNeh (KKNN) forwarded her an email with the image above informing her of Rasa Sentosa Resort’s half price promotion and she immediately pounced on the offer and asked me to do the necessary bookings. Few women can resist things sold at half price. Not that I am complaining as she offered to pay for the stay.

It’s my 1st time staying at Rasa Sentosa Resort and KKNN’s 2nd and we chose the Panoramic Room which was priced at $227.50 after 50% discount.

The view is quite lovely from the balcony I must say and the window that opens to the tub is quite cool but that is probably just a couple of the good things I have to say about Rasa Sentosa Resort.

I entered the room and just did a rough inspection just to make sure that everything is in order and part of that routine is to check under the bed for dead bodies. And though I didn’t find any, there was an empty bottle of the hotel’s complimentary water bottle left under the bed.

Not like the water bottle is chucked deep under the bed but it was near the edge and the attendant who cleaned the room prior to our check-in completely missed it.

And then a question comes up. Which 4-5 star hotel doesn’t have LCD TVs these days? I brought my HP Mini laptop along hoping to plug it in to an LCD TV to spend some of our time watching movies but I end up facing a stone age CRT TV with the wrong connectivity cables.

Hoping to better our stay at Rasa Sentosa Resort, we checked out the highest rated restaurant amongst the 2 that were listed down for the 50% promotion which was Barnacles Restaurant for dinner. We ended up heading for the other restaurant (which was almost fully booked by the way) because it was fully booked till 9.30pm. Rasa Sentosa Resort should have informed us of the popularity of the restaurants so that we could have made plans. It wouldn’t hurt to tell me during my telephone booking or included as a few lines of text in the email confirmation.

Dinner was settled at Silver Shell Cafe with a seafood buffet.

Nothing tasted awful but in fact, nothing tasted good as well. It’s one of those meals that you won’t remember eating after a few days.

And the worse thing about the whole stay? I was almost overcharged by at least $70 by Rasa Sentosa Resort. The bill looked suspiciously high even after a 50% discount for both the room and the buffet dinner and after checking it further, I realized that Silver Shell Cafe overcharged me by twice the amount I was supposed to pay. It was lucky that I kept the receipt from Silver Shell and checked the final bill before I left the resort.

The stay at Sentosa Resort and Spa was SO MUCH better. Weird thing is that KKNN and I still enjoyed our stay very much despite all the screw ups. Having each other is all that matters.

On that note, I’ll convince her that I’ll pay for the next weekend escapade at a cheap hotel. WAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

The face we are gonna make after she hears about the next escapade
