Customized Brownies! P.osh

Last week, i was thinking what to get for my BFF for her 21st birthday! Other than a present, i want to give her something special. I promised her 21 helium balloons but did not managed to get it, so i suddenly thought of getting her a customized brownie, so i went to P.osh at Dhoby Ghaut! :D

Supposed to get one only, in the end i bought 3!!!!!

At P.osh, you can order customized designs on your brownie, just tell them what's the message you want and they will design for you right on the spot! These are some of the examples on display!!!!

I ordered a total of 3 brownie cakes. One says "Happy Birthday", which for for Jiaqi since her birthday is the day before so i thought of getting one for her as well. Another is for my BFF Yah see which says, "Happy 21st Birthday", and lastly a small little one for my other BFF Nurul! Waited around 20 mins :D

Quite enjoyable to see them design the brownie! Writing the wordings with chocolates...

Decorating with M&Ms, putting them nicely one by one!

Carefully sprinkle colorful rice to make the whole thing look more attractive!

TA-DAH! This is the one for Jiaqi! Damn nice right! Looks too good to be eaten lor.

This is the one for BFF Yah see! Quite nice also! (Did not take photo of the other one)

The price of the brownie cake is quite reasonable, for the mini one (one small piece with wordings) cost $4, so if you want a bigger one for messages such as anniversary or Happy birthday message, it's around 4 to 6 pieces of brownie add together, so it's around $12 to $16 for quite a big one? It would be so much more fun if we get to design it ourselves like the icing room design cake one! :D

P.s: This is NOT an advertorial, just felt like sharing ;)

"Nom Nom Nom" day!

Nom nom nom! Had a craving for various food and wanted to tryout some new items so i decided to dedicate one day to have everything! I was thinking instead of blogging each item one by one in different post, i might as well put everything together right? So this post is ALL ABOUT FOOD!

(Warning: This post might make you hungry! Especially if you read this during the night!)

Chocolate-y breakfast! Slice of chocolate cake + Slice of blueberry cake + London ChocoRoll + Teddy bear biscuit and a cup of Milo! I know it's quite a lot but YES, i can finish everything all by myself! ♥

Met up with Jing long in the afternoon for pool session at Cineleisure! Craving for Japanese food and the first place i thought of was Sakae Sushi! New outlet opened right beside cineleisure, SCAPE!

Sushi!!!! ♥

Complimentary green tea for Sakae members! Ordered my favourite Tamago sushi (3 plates!) and Chawanmushi! Jing long ordered 3 plates of his favourite Unagi sushi too! Wait, that's not all!

Side orders: Fried hotate and Potato Croquette! Ordered Yaki tori and Gyoza too! *smack lips*

After lunch, it's time for dessert and was craving for Everything With Fries Nutella slice! Not that i have tried it before, it's just that after reading so many reviews of their Nutella slice, i want to try it too!!!

Nutella slice ($3.50) and Coke float ($3.50)

*wipe sweat* I'm so glad the Nutella slice DID NOT disappoint me at all!! The portion was just right, just nice for 1 person. The chocolate was not really thick, just nice. But at $3.50 per slice, it's kinda expensive for the portion. But i would definitely try it again if i drop by Orchard Central soon :D

Next up! Dinner at Pizza hut! Read about the newly launched Big bites pizza! Time to try!

Ordered the Delight meal and it comes with 2 glasses of "Emerald Sparkle" and mushroom soup :D

Additional add-ons: Sweet and spicy Drumlets! nom nom nom

Here comes the Pizza! Ordered my all time favourite Hawaiian pizza and the the big bites are actually chicken meatballs and shrimp balls! Not a bad combination, was feeling damn satisfied after finish the whole pizza! (Ehh, obviously i shared with someone lah -__-) That's all for my Nom nom nom day! Spent quite a lot of $ that day JUST ON FOOD! Zzz. Nvm, it's not like i eat this much everyday :D

Ice Skating at Kallang Leisure Park!

Had a sudden "feel" to go ice skating so i twittered about it during midnight and Joyce @replied me asking me to plan an ice skating outing, the thing i did was to sms to see who was interested and guess what? The following day, Me, Ying zi, Jiaqi, Joyce and Jing long were meeting up for ice skating!

Super happy us! Jing long not in the photo because he took this photo! :D

Damn pai seh because the little kids there were SOOOOOOOO much better than us. We are totally noobs at ice skating lor, most of us had to hold the railing and refuse to let go for the first 30 mins!

We were partnering, trying to guide each other with holding the railings ♥

Not forgetting to pose for the camera!

Decided to all hold hands and skate together, but there's a risk of...

SOMEONE FALLING DOWN! Causing the rest to unbalance too! LOL

Fell down at the very end. Had a bad fall and scratched my elbow. The scar is still there lor :(

Had a super fun time with everyone! Can't forget the fun we had together!!! If you have nowhere to go in Singapore and would like to tryout something fun, why not head down to Kallang leisure park to ice skate!!!! Not really expensive also, i think it's around 18 bucks per person for 2 hours? Ok what ;)

Brand New Blogskin!

Anyone surprised after entering my blog? YES!!! I CHANGED MY BLOGSKIN! After checking my blog history, i found out the last time i changed my blogskin was April 2009, so it has been more than a year! Always wanted to change but after looking at all the codings, i always give up in the end. Zzz

This time, i managed to preserve till the end and i'm satisfied with this end product! *throw confetti* This blogskin is actually a "re-work" from my other blogskin (read this POST) I somehow tweak the design here and there abit. Without further ado, i shall show you guys what i did! *beams* :D

The concept for this blogskin is "doodle", thus i have to look for the perfect font:

Best place to look for fonts? Dafont.com! Chose "Action Jackson" as it's exactly what i pictured in my mind. Looks doodle-ish and not too messy, should be able to do the job! Quite nice right? :D

White background would be too plain so i google-d for a sketch/ doodle image and lighten it so that it won't be too overpowering, grabbing too much attention. Credited the respective designer! :D

Had a hard time thinking about my banner. To me, the banner is important as it gives people the first impression of your blog. I decided to keep things simple with little images and text and to design it to be doodle-ish with sketches of thunderbolt and clouds to depict - "Storm" and also to match the theme. Colour scheme to be white and yellow. Animated the banner to make it look more attractive :D

Added header links for easy access to some pages! At first it's just the text, but decided to last minute-ly add in the camera doodle beside it to fit the theme. Most people won't realise that when you hover your mouse over the text, it will actually turn yellow, scroll up and try it! :D

After much research and google-ing, i FINALLY managed to learn how to change the font of the date and title! This is something really really special because it's not the default font! If you look closely, you will also realise the background of the post is actually lined paper, so this doodle-ish font fits the background perfectly! I was damn happy when i finally figure out how to do it! *wipe sweat* :D

Lastly would be the footer of each post. Managed to add in the "I like" javascript by blogger which allows readers to feedback on what they think about the post by clicking the options. However, can't seem to align the footer together no matter how hard i tried, oh wells. Anyone know how? :(

Oh ya, and this blogskin only has 1 sidebar instead of the previous 2! This makes the post area much BIGGER and i can now post HUGE photos!!!! Alright, that's all for my new blogskin! You can start to "feedback" by either posting comments or click on one of the "options" below! Don't be lazy :D

My extravagant 21st Birthday! Lol.

My 21st birthday is 3 months away and i'm already starting to plan for that very special day on 19th October!!! I know it's kinda early but it's better to plan things early what. No meh? Turning 21st is like a milestone in one's life, it's when the REAL adulthood begin, where you get the "key" to freedom so to commemorate this special day, something special must happen on that day/ night. *spotlights*

Organizing it in a chalet would be feasible as it's quite cheap to book a chalet nowadays (less than 200 bucks/night!) and you can cater food for everyone. However, i find it kinda common. I wanted something special *sparkling blings*

Choice #1: Celebrate it on a Yacht! I've never been onto a yacht before but i've read about how interesting it is to spend a special event on it. It would be quite cool to invite a bunch of great friends to celebrate your 21st with you on the sea.

However it's not cheap. A check online show that it's at least 900 bucks for a 3 hour slot out in the sea, excluding the food. Worth it or not, you decide for yourself...

Choice #2: Lotus limo! I've been on this limo twice in my life, both during blogger events! The exterior of this limo is super cool, and the inside IS EVEN COOLER!

It's like a mini club inside with drinks, chocolates and neon lights! I can never ever forget the experience! A check on the net suggest that it's around a few hundred bucks to rent it for AN HOUR. But it's not feasible to cut a cake in the limo right? Only can fit 8 pax? In the end still have to get off the limo and go somewhere else.

Next up would be the theme:

MacDonald Party! I came across an article on Sunday times and i was thinking, "Since i always wanted a MacDonald birthday party when i was small, why not organize one for my 21st? It would be damn cute and fun!" Don't you think so?

Everyone will be made to wear the party hat, there will be games, lucky draws, cake cutting and everyone will be served a Happy meal or an extra value meal! Not only that, i can set a theme like "BACK TO SCHOOL!" where everyone will come in their uniform! Sound great right!!!! Can totally imagine the scenario in my head :D

After researching, it cost about $9/pax for a happy meal or $11/pax for EVM. It will be held at the restaurant itself. However, there's a time slot of only 1.5 hours which might not be enough... So i thought of holding the party at somewhere else, BUT still with the MacDonald concept, just that it's not in the restaurant though.

I did an estimation of the no. of people that might attend the party, i think it's around 30 to 40 pax so i would need quite a BIG place to fit everyone. Hmm...

Location wise, here's what i have in mind:

New Majestic hotel. From what i heard and research, they have 30 themed rooms in this hotel. It's around $360/night, but what i'm concern is they have a suite big enough for up to 40 pax. I wouldn't want everyone to squeeze in a small room...

Screening room @ Ann Siang. Attended an event there once and i kinda like the place. Enough to fit 40 pax and they also have a projector in the room so maybe i can show a video or photo montage. Not sure about the rate but i think it's not gonna be cheap. Perhaps at least a few hundred bucks for a few hours? Hmm...

K suite @ illuma. Also went there once for a blogger event. The suite is around 700 bucks for 5 hours with entertainment such as Kbox, pool, PS3 etc. There is even food catering available, (around est $900 to $1000 with food) Sounds nice but the price is abit on the high end, so i need to consider properly before deciding :(

I want my 21st birthday to be a memorable one for me and everyone that attend the party! Can't believe i'm planning everything ALL BY MYSELF! After attending countless of blogger events, i always wanted to plan something like that and my 21st birthday party is definitely a very good excuse! Need a lot of $$ though.

There's gonna be a reception table outside the room where my friends have to register and receive a ticket or something with maybe a lucky draw stub! Will try to find ways to get the prizes! (Find sponsors or something, HINT HINT.) I also need to find a cake caterer to get a BIG enough cake for everyone to share. Super excited!

A lot of work and planning but i think the end result will be worth it!!!! My budget is around 1k for EVERYTHING! So much for just one night, that very special night (:

P.s: Now is just the initial "dreaming" stage, wonder how will the real one be like...

Flaunting My Adidas Watch Contest!

Adidas has recently launched their latest Seoul series watches and I'm one of the lucky 10 bloggers who got the watch beforehand! All 10 of us will try to pair our watch with our most funky sportswear or picture the watch in a creative photo!!! :D

I don't think i look sporty so i decided to picture the watch creatively in line with the theme - Sporty. Decided to use a Danbo! Cute right!!! Here's the end results:

But i submitted this instead cos i think it's more nicer:

Since my Adidas Seoul watch is green and yellow in colour, the first thing that came to my mind was the Brazil flag, thus related to soccer. So i decided to base my idea on soccer! Using a toy figurine and taking the photo in macro mode makes the whole photo look cuter :D

The above photo will be uploaded to the official Adidas timing facebook! Do click this link - http://www.facebook.com/adidastiming and "like" my photo!!!! You guys stand to win Adidas premiums worth 200 bucks! So faster go "like" my photo :D
