L A ♔ B E L L A ♔ V I T A


Friday Night Beers


At Holland V.


Dinner at Yoshida. So yummy but so expensive. The yam dish & the negitoro maki each costs $24, and they were the cheapest items already! :/


Abit of randomness: That's Buddy and his hump buddy! And that's my Dad's platter of perfumes! Yes, my dad's, not my mum's!




BBQ


Anton playing with the control car we bought the kids.. he kept trying to tickle us by putting the car on our bodies and then using the remote to turn the wheels! Too cute.


My 2 favourite boys :)


Playing with bubbles & the games on my iphone.




Dinner with the boys. XO fish head bee hoon. We ordered lots of dishes and fish head bee hoon to serve 8 when there were only 4 of us! YUMS.


The ridiculously priced $450 crab, which was barely fleshy and didn't even taste that good..... We finally tried Hatch and while I love how the place is so chill, I personally found the food just average (the meat was good but the potatoes and toast etc, nothing fab?)...... And our favourite Crawford Lane Bak Chor Mee which we visit at least every other week.


Weekday Drinks... Holland V again, I feel like I live there.. I'm there like 4-5 times a week?


Yokie, Lauren, Jia & Siew. Was really good to catch up with the girls.


The boy cooks me supper in the middle of the night. So far I've had risotto, paprika sea bass, thai salad etc... and all from scratch! :)


And more chill out/beer/shisha sessions... You may be able to see a trend in how I spend my nights?


Kimmy wong & Kim huang .... and a group shot :)


My nails- black with a jagged french edge in silver! Would have been a perfect match for the killers concert, too bad it got cancelled ): Oh, and my entry/album is named after my bracelet, which I know doesn't look that nice but it's really pretty, I just have rubbish camera skills. We had it engraved last week with a "k" on the back panel, and "La Bella Vita" on the front.


Whenever I meet anyone, they always ask me "so what have you been up to" and my answer is always the same.... it's a resounding "ummmmm". Can barely believe I've only been back a month+ cos it feels like so much has been going on, even though really, I'm not doing anything remotely productive. Singapore for me always = family, the boy, the pals, food, food, drinks, shopping, TV, food, drinks, food...

Oh right, went to see Yeye today and I cried (it's been 3 years but still miss him.. no not howling weeps, but just a little bit).. and then we had lunch at my favourite Nanbantei (I always eat too much) before going for a shampoo/blow dry and a foot massage..

BIG NEWS: my little brother can drive, not officially, he doesn't have a license, but as I sat in the car he was driving today it struck me how everyone's predictions came true... MY LITTLE BROTHER ENDED UP DRIVING BEFORE ME. I STILL CAN'T MOVE THE CAR 2 inches without jam braking and screaming. EPIC FML ):

Now I'm waiting for the boy to come home from soccer so that we can have supper and watch Neil Patrick Harris guest-judge on American Idol. I absolutely love him & How I Met Your Mother.......

La Bella Vita, It's a beautiful life indeed! ♥ X ♥ X ♥

Dream A Little Dream

Daren's Er-Yi got married right before christmas.

We arrived at her house around 8+ am and she was having her hair and make up done.


When the groom arrived to pick her up, she wasn't ready so he was instructed to wait in the car until the door opener (Daren) came to get him... Finally came up and had to do the usual sliding of angbao bribes under the door and drinking a mix of "suan tian ku la"


Her face lit up with a huge smile the minute he walked in :)


Tea Ceremony at the groom's


Adgil, Lei & Anton.


The R.O.M. and wedding dinner was at Halia.




The lovely bride and her pretty shoes!


The ceremony & the vows.

He tried to self shot! Too cute!


The speeches, popping off champagne, cake cutting!
