Our 6th Anniversary

Today was our 6th Anniversary, and this year, the celebration was a simple one. As we still have coupons left from the previous purchase for Krish, we decided to have our dinner there.

Gal with her Polaroids ......

My glass of white wine with the complimentary bites from the chef ......

The starter, King Prawn Salad. I always fear eating big prawns, for it will be smelly if it is not fresh. Thankfully, the prawn was fresh and it was quite delicious. The sauce was able to seep through the shell of the prawn, giving the meat a sweet taste.

The other starter for the night, Purple Potato Gnocchi. Sounds chim but it is Duck Confit, with Marsala Wine and light cream. This is the best dish for the night and it was in our stomach within a few seconds ! =p

A Must-try dish if you are there!

Cheers ! =)

Gal's main dish, Seared Sea Bass. Pretty normal, and it had a Indian flavor. Btw, did i mention that Krish is an Indian Fine Dining Restaurant ?

My Tandoori Stuffed Chicken Roulade. I was expecting a larger portion when i ordered. There's peas, raisin tamarind chutney and spiced potato. Not the kind of Tandoori Chicken that i expect.

The last course for the dinner, Dessert!The waitress recommended to us the, Fudge Cake, Espresso Brulee paired with Orange Blossom Ice-Cream. Pretty good!

Lights Upz !!!!

We have received a call from our ID that the lightning was up! We will be able to visit our flat anytime we wish to with the lights! Yippee!!

Our dinning corner, with the inverted champagne glasses crystals lighting.....

The down lights and the cove lighting in the living room

The missing shelves of the TV console was installed as well.

TV Wall feature and Console checked !

Big round light for the kitchen

The toilet lighting ....

One of the lighting that i like best =)

The cove lighting and the down lights at the walk-in wardrobe cum study area

Missing shelves in !

Spotted some defects in one of the racks .....

and the doors too .....

lastly, the lights in our master bedroom =)

Looks like it is nearing completion. Can't wait to decorate our house !

Dad's Birthday Celebration @ Ootoya

We were celebrating my Dad's Birthday @ Ootoya, Orchard Central Branch. We were choosing between a Korean Restaurant opp and Ootoya, and decide to settle here as most of the Korean dishes were either spicy or contains beef.

Some of the starters that we have ordered ......

Potato Croquette !

but it wasn't good ..... =(

The Tonkatsu was not fantastic as well.....

Saboten's still the best !!

Even the Saba fish was a bit dry and without any sauce.

Pretty plain ..... Saba is my favorite fish! =(

Mini Salmon bowl

One of the few dishes that was nice .....

This wasn't not too bad too ....

Terriyaki Chicken? kinda of forgot the actual name of the dish ....

My Katsu Don ........

Ootoya seems to be over-rated and the food wasn't tat great compared to Tonkichi or Saboten, though it may have a wider selection of food. Regretted for choosing this over the Korean food. 

Smurfty Times!

 

Saw this on the empty field in front of The Cathay. 

Seems like Smurf virus is spreading.

Kick off !

The spectators !

I can see better with my bino !

Defend defend!!

Clear the ball away !

free kick ! *whistle*

Gal with the substitutes!

Carpentry up !

Every Saturday morning would be a routine check @ our new house for us to monitor the progress of the renovation. We were filled with anticipation whenever we unlock the door, and this wk, seems like most of the carpentry was up!!

Yippe!!

The first thing that we saw, the shoe divider was completed !!

Looked exactly like the 3D drawing! =)

The view from the other end of the living room

Gal's oven was installed, and she was so happy!

Baking session in the near future for us!

We left this room in its original state, with juz the overlay, for the moment.

Our guest cum future baby room.

The wiring was still in a mess, juz like last week.....

Bathroom accessories in the common toilet were installed as well. Initially proposed a vanity cabinet, juz like the one we had in our master toilet. However, it does not seems to be practical to have one in the common toilet.

Firstly, there is no shower screen in this toilet, hence, constant splashing of the water onto the vanity cabinet will shorten the lifespan of the cabinet, causing it to rot and decay. Also, by doing a vanity cabinet, the area in the toilet will be reduced, and it will be a bit hard to wash the clothing.

Lastly, and also the most important thing, we can save money too! =x

The wardrobe was up as well !

It's definitely nice to have a open-concept walk in wardrobe, but it's not that practical as well. Clothing would always need to be folded nicely and it will also be exposed to the dirt and dust. Well, i was trying to convince myself as I still prefer a open-concept, nice, but a chore to maintain it. =p

We chose the layout and design of the wardrobe compartments after browsing through the magazines for ideas! Thankfully, it turn out nice! =)

The other side of the room, the study cum dressing table. This is the room that we convert it into a walk-in wardrobe cum study-room.

Our master room toilet

We changed the toilet bowels in both toilets. The original ones were in creamy color, and hard to blend in with the theme/color. Cool toilet bowels at the reasonable price, and the seat and lid comes with anti-slam as well! =p

The entrance of our master bedroom. The 2 side tables were completed. Hopefully the bed frame are able to fit nicely in between the 2 side tables.

Bay side window!

But we are missing the cushion...... =(

The wall feature in our master bedroom

Our master bedroom with the sliding door to separate the walk-in wardrobe from the sleeping area. More updates to come! =)

Hopefully the lights will be installed soon so that we will be able to drop by anytime, instead of juz on the wkends during the daytime.
