Fiesta Brasilia!

It's the start of another brand new week! Fresh start and I hope it's a good one.

Had plain porridge with preserved vegetables and lean meat on one of the mornings, what most called mei cai kou rou! My all-time favorite. Got two yakults for myself from the pantry. :)

------------

Just last Saturday, I went out for dinner with my brother and Felicia at Fiesta Brasilia because boy was out for his company event for the the whole day. We had the Brazilian BBQ Buffet! Had wanted to go for steamboat instead but brother decided on this at the last minute. And I am glad we tried this!

The main entrance when we first came in!

The salad bar station, where there's lots more food awaiting us!

The dining area.

 And if you are thinking of holding a private dinner, they have a private room for you! :)

Enough said, food time!

My first serving!

This brazilian bbq buffet is known for their meat. So if you are a meat lover, you are in for a treat! Every 10 minutes the chefs will bring out a big skewer of different types of meat and go from table to table cutting the meat for you from the skewer, freshly cooked and served hot!

The garlic bread, beef and chicken freshly skewed!

How can I ever get enough with just one serving? Lol!

My second serving!

The baked potatos are real nice.

There you see, this time round hotdogs! :)

Felicia's spastic face and my bro enjoying their food. Lol!

The buffet corner.

Wondering how much this Brazilian BBQ Buffet costs us? 

Only $20.80++ per pax! Conveniently located at United Square :)

They do have the hot stone a la carte too so don't miss that out!

It's Sunday!

Weekends really flies! Have not been leading a fulfilling work life recently because I am still stuck at learning the easy stuffs. Did not really have a chance to learn the more challenging areas. :( Made quite a few really careless mistakes at work like missing out on some details before sending emails out to locations. Urgh!

Wore my grey dress to work on one of the weekdays. And again, this was made by my mum! I just need to show her what designs i want and she will make it for me with the fabric she bought. Length is just nice for work and most importantly, custom fit and only for me lol! :)

Have been on a very strict sleeping routine lately. I will sleep by 9.30pm and wake up at 5am. For me, it is a must to catch at least 7 hours of sleep daily else I will feel very lethargic at work. So, a good sleep is really important!

Met with quite a bit of hiccups at work recently. The more I think the more I feel I should defend myself. Talked to boy and my mum about it and they told me this is actually a very small matter compared to what they have encountered. Boy told me I should not just keep quiet about it and instead should defend myself if he/she is just a colleague as we are on equal pars. So the next time I encountered such remarks again, I will make sure I defend myself. Because of this I have been rather unhappy lately at work hence I did not manage to update my blog posts. Sorry all!

And into my 4th week of work, I finally had OT on one of the days! I was actually already preparing to pack up at 4.15pm but at the last minute I received an email that says this - "Yu Ling, please work on this urgent RFQ and I will need this for my review in my inbox first thing in the morning tomorrow. Thanks." 

Stayed till 7pm and rushed for the mini-bus outside. One of my colleagues from another department called out to me and asked if I want to take his car since we stayed just one block away. Really thanks to him else I can never reach home in just half an hour! :)

Enough of my grumblings, I have a good news - for myself! Lol!

Boy managed to get approval for his leave and I also had approval for mine to take leave even though I am still under my 3 months probation! Immediate boss wasn't very strict about it and told me since HR has given it to me I can take anytime I want. :) And that means another step nearer to Bangkok!

I did some research and we decided to go for 5D4N instead of the 4D3N since we have the time and it will not be so rush for us too. Boy wants a centralized and 5* hotel so Amari Watergate is the choice. I considered in the money factor so to me Arnoma hotel is the choice. Not too bad too since it is also centralized and a 4* hotel. Therefore it is a choice between these 2 hotels. We took into account the plane tickets and were really shocked that it totaled up to almost $600 for Arnoma hotel and $700 for Amari Watergate! In normal circumstances, a trip to bangkok should not cost more than $400. And we are travelling on weekdays.

But whatever it is, I think since it is not easy for us to arrange for our leaves to be approved together (especially for him) and since it is my birthday week too, money is secondary. It can always be earned back so it is not a big issue. :)

Shall do a last check on the rates again and book by this week! Weeee!

So. damn. happy.

Late Night Out!

Met up with boy for our weekly date. Apparently he has been under too much work stress and been working OT till midnight almost every day, and was complaining about some political stuffs at work. Come to think of it, I should count myself lucky!

We went down to Sentosa and he insisted on walking in from Vivo. It was a long distance and the weather was scorching hot! -.-

Shy boy who insisted on not showing his face.

 

And I have no idea why he took this photo!

We bought Garrett's popcorn - Crispy Caramel! Boy bought the medium one and we could not even finish it. Too big a packet and it was too sweet. It was nice but after a while it became too sweet for my liking. 

They have those 1 gallon tin of popcorn that is selling at $69 promotional price now. Very big tin so it is good for a gathering/celebration!

 

Like a little boy who's so excited about the popcorn.

Then we took a tram to the most southern part of continental asia!

There was a group of NTU students having their orientation camp there and we were both reminiscing about the times when we had out camps too. Time really flies!

After that it was movie time - Cars! Quite a cute movie :)

Home sweet home after that because we were too tired!

Monday Blues!

I am sure for most of you, monday blues is not uncommon. After 2 days of rest it is back to work/school!

Feeling corporate so I wore my black dress to work. I am getting used to the height of my heels now, so much so I feel weird wearing slippers during weekends lol!

I always got hungry easily so this time round, I brought a tin of biscuits to bite on. Vanilla wafer sticks! Very nice :)

I think I am getting addicted to online shopping again. Have been going to quite a few sites to see if there are any nice apparels, and wedges!

One of my favorite shoe stores now to share! :)

Xquisis featuring loads & loads of footwear and are categorized accordingly. My favorite picks have to be these!

Rainbow wedges!

Strappy wedges!

 

-----------------------

Having nothing much to do one day, I bought a buffer and filer and started to use them on boy's nails. He likes the buffering part because it makes his nails shine!

The top hand's nails are buffered and the ones below unbuffered. See the difference!

I wanted to apply nail polish on him but he was very insistent against it. So while he was asleep, I applied nude polish on his toe nails instead. Lol!

Till then!

Classic French Manicure! :)

TGIF! Pretty much nothing to do today, so it is self-learning again. It was dress-down day so I decided to wear my newly bought Ruffles Dress in Black! Love the frills by the side and its length. I do not fancy too long or too short dresses but this one is just nice, and plus the elastic waist band to accentuate your figure! :)

Can't really see the frills due to my dirty mirror! :(

 Reached office at 7am and as usual had my breakkie at my desk every morning!

And who can forget cam-whoring time!

Vendor gave us some mooncakes, coffee flavor. Too sweet for my liking! :(

My nails had grown too long for comfort so I decided to go for my fortnightly appointment with Shanice, this time round going french! Needless to say, gelish again. This is my first time doing french and it is mad love! :)

Muffin is so cute! :)

Look out for advertorial up next week!
