Popping away....

Finally got a chance to try the DIY popcorn I bought from Taiwan! I was actually quite excited when preparing it... Will it explode inside the microwave? What if they're not cooked or burnt after I opened? Ha... 

The original packaging before putting it into the microwave.

The process in just 5 mins... After 1min, you can hear the popping sound & smell the sweet butter! It becomes so big after 4 mins I have to stand behind my kitchen door (in case it explodes!) Ha...

Actually I'm not really the movie popcorn person... Eythan is! He loves popcorn when watching movie whereas I prefer nacho. He always get what he likes as nacho is "more expensive" and heavy for our stomach!  :(

Anyway Eythan finished the whole bag and as you can see, there are indeed many corns not popped yet, as the bottom! Wasted.

My Birthday 2009

Probably birthdays do not mean as much to me anymore or I've resigned myself to the aging destiny... This year's celebration was brief and simple with close friends.

6th Feb - Had a sumptuous dinner with my (ex)colleagues. We had zhicha at Bt Batok kopitiam! Yue Lee (whose birthday is just 1 day before me) & I shared a damn nice dark chocolate birthday, from Gin Thye Confectionery. Sinful night... Ha!

8th Feb - Had dinner with Abishag, Lydia & Matt @ Cafe Cartel, Siglap.

Forgot to take pictures as we were too absorb in chatting. 

9th Feb - Met Shawn for dinner @ The Mussel Place, Vivo. Ordered many dishes with practically almost all mussels. Quite jelat at the end. Haha!

10th Feb - No special plans from Eythan. Last minute we decided to just settle for dinner at Sushi Tei (Holland V). It's been 2 mths since we last ate there.

Well, as usual, no present from him... So I demanded a Canon semi-pro camera! :p

11th Feb - Met up with Joni & Suzie at Holland V again, for dinner followed by Chai Latte at Coffee Bean. They got me a nice rosary and cute bracelet! 

Our first Chinese New Year 2009

Made our special stamps for the Chinese New Year this year, chopped on all the angbaos! But ended up stayed home 'cos we were both not feeling good. Haha...
