Nescafe Dolce Gusto

I have decided to get our first coffee machine after my brother agreed to share the cost with me...yippee...
 
After checking the prices at Scotts Isetan, Tangs Orchard and Takashimaya, I decided to purchase it at Takashimaya as I could earn some points using Takashimaya credit card.

$199 for the machine and complimentary one box of capsules (worth $12.90)
(Picture taken from my brother's facebook)
 
While on my way to Takashimaya to purchase the coffee machine, I bought a eyeshadow palette from Sephora. You know what, a few of my friends bought Sephora's stuff for my X'mas gifts, but none of them is makeup stuffs...I cannot believe it. :) As nobody bought me makeup stuff as X'mas pressie so I decided to get something for myself...heehee...
 
 Eyeshadow palette at $22.00
Creamy Body Wash capsules at $2.00 each
 
Very happy with my purchases and cannot wait to try all of them...

It is really not easy to work in a company for more than 5 years. Eileen did it!!! Congrats to Eileen Wong who received her 5 years long services award recently. 
 
 
 There are four choice of soup bases:Irresistible Sichuan Spicy; Healthy Tonkotsu Soup; Bak Kut Teh Soup; Secret Recipe Duck Soup & Thai-style Tom Yum Soup. We choose the Healthy Tonkotsu Soup!!!
 We can choose to have individual pot or a big pot for sharing.
 
  

 Self-take photo session while waiting for Eileen & Ting to reach the restaurant.
 
 We can choose to have set menu ($18.90++) or ala carte buffet ($25.90++). The portion of food they served was quite little actually, hence we had to keep ordering. (heehee)





 Cheers!!! Happy 5th year anniversary @ Club 21 to Eileen...



 


 
Thank you our dearest Eileen for the treat...xoxo

KL again!!!

Westin KL is having promotion again...yippee!!!
 
This time our flight to Kuala Lumpur (KL) was slightly earlier and we were supposed to reach airport at 4am on 06 Dec 2013. Here we decided to "camp" at the airport. However, things did not turn out smoothly lor...*sad*
 
I supposed to take a bus to the airport to save on cab fare, but by the time I reached the bus terminal, I realised I had missed the last bus to the airport. So I took a cab to Terminal 3 to meet Amy @ Coffee Bean.
 
We spent our time drinking, eating, chit-chatting and watching drama. Very soon, it was time to proceed to Terminal 1 to check-in. Then we proceed to take the Skytrain from T3 to T1 when we realised the Skytrain was under maintenance. As we thought we could walk to T1, hence, we did not bother to read the maintenance note on the screen.
 
After a long walking with our lugguages, we managed to reach T2, but we realised that the Skytrain there was also under maintenance.  Actually there was a shuttle bus services that ferried us between the 3 terminals. The bus took us back to T3 again (just the gate outside coffee bean..haiz..), then to T1.
 
Important announcement !!!
Lugguage bought from Groupon. Good quality!!!

We went to Suria KLCC for lunch after we had took a nap at Westin KL. We went to try the Kiki Taiwan Cuisine. When we reached the restaurant, there wasn't any crowd, but slowly, the crowd started to come in...there was even people queuing outside the restuaurant.

The food was nice and the staff were very friendly. I really liked the mixed porridge set meal that I had ordered. (yummy yummy)

We went to Jalan Alor for dinner. The staff @ Westin KL was so kind to give us such a clear direction to go to Jalan Alor from Westin KL. It was actually quite near but it was still quite a challenge because of the traffic condition. But we made it!!!
 
I love their porridge,samba sotong and stingray...yummy yummy...
 
We took a stroll back to Pavilion KL. We were very impressed with their X'mas décor...very nice, I couldn't stop taking photos.
