Recently visited this place located at 125 Bukit Merah Lane 1.

was recommended from ieatishootipost blog. and so we decided to give it a try.

I guess if my fren did not read that blog we won't noe there's this place at all.

The Tom Yam Soup with fried fish is marvelous. i m a non fish person but the fried fish for the tom yam soup has got no fishy smell n the meat was real tender under the crisp. it was still crispy even after soaking in the tom yam soup. UPS for this.

We had this Stuffed Chicken drumstick, whereby they removed the bones and stuffed fillings inside.. i cant reall recall the ingredient but this is yet another MUST TRY. Its @ $2.50 per pc if i didn't rem wrongly.

Mango Salad was super appetizing..I couldn't stop eating. haha...

Also try the Thai Iced Tea. Its hard to find this taste in SG i would say.

There's still lotsa food that we wanted to try but couldn't order too much.. the place is small n cosy.. n the staff there i would say good. I guess i didn't expect tat kinda of politeness in this kinda eating house.

For those who wanna try. they opens daily with 2 timing: 11am to 3pm and 5pm to 10pm.Located at 125 Bukit Merah Lane 1, Just opposite Alexandra Hospital. Carpark entrance before AIA building.

How many of us have allowed ourselves to be caught up in the whirlwind of a romance, only to be disappointed when the “honeymoon” period is over and reality sets in? Often, our partner is blamed for not putting in the effort to make the relationship work. In every relationship, be it intimate relations, friendship or kinship, it always takes a minimal of two people to work at it. A fact that everyone is aware of but rarely practices.
How then can we maintain strong, healthy and self-fulfilling relationships with a partner, parent or friend?

Communication – “Two monologues do not make a dialogue ~ Jeff Daly”
Deep, frequent, heart-to-heart conversations are essential in maintaining any relationship. Relationships fail when individuals hold the belief that: if he/she loves me, he/she should know what to do or what to say. I don’t have to tell him/her what I’m feeling or thinking.
We have to keep in mind that we are meant to interact, and are not mind readers. If you have difficulty communicating deep issues face-to-face, start off by sharing about your day and build up the confidence gradually by sharing issues closer to your heart. The person on the receiving end of your sharing will usually be appreciative of your trust and honesty.

Make time for each other
Set specific times during the week to do something both of you (or in a group setting) enjoy doing. Make it a point to celebrate special occasions and if finances permit, why not spend a weekend away from the stressors in life? Recognise that it is equally important to make time for your family.

Recalling the good times
Remember why you fell in love the first place. There are always wonderful memories etched in our brains. Reminisce on the fun times you had together with your friends and children. Tapping on such memories will also allow you to be more appreciative of one another.

Do something nice for your loved one
Know your partner’s, friends’ and family’s love language and do something they can appreciate. Love languages are expressed by – buying gifts, words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch, and quality time. Understand how your partner showers you with affection and allow your partner to understand how you shower him/her with affection.

Appreciate the present
It’s too late for regrets when a love one passes on. There’s no point in grieving when the person has passed on or has decided to be out of your life. Learn to appreciate the present. Life is too short to dwell on the insignificant.

Celebrate and Enjoy
Celebrate the relationships you have made and maintained over the years. Enjoy the fruit of each journey you walked with that individual. Thank the person for being your partner, friend or family. Be grateful that they are still by you this day.

Have not been blogging.. everytime i tot of something to blog abt my lappy wasnt with me and whn my lappy is with me my mind goes blank.. LOL.. so juz a random one before i go fetch my dear dear..=)

I juz tot of something interesting,,

Babies cry cuz they could not speak or have not learn to speak... When adult cry, it means its hard to speak out.. maybe this apply more to ladies.. but its true isn't it?

We cry when we were speechless both happy or unhappy, Maybe we are too happy that we doesn't know any other way to express it.(Tear of Joy) or we are so devastated, disappointed and there's nth more we could say. Cring can be sophiscated too..

A little tot of mine to share.. heading out now..

Times Fly.. its been 2 months since i last updated and its been 2 months since i was in phuket enjoying myself.. LOL

Happy, Beautiful Memories will always stay. Unhappy, Ugly Memories erased...

Looking back... The good times will always stay in me... however we could nv turn back time and even if we could, things would nv be the same as We could only grow older and not younger, and our mind could only get more complcated and not simplified. We could nv go back to our younger days where things were just simple.

A few of my colleagues left recently... Sad... but we enjoyed the nonsense happy moments we had in the office.. Wish them all the best in their future careers...=)

That's life... So learn to cherish the happy moments u have. I've learned to cherish even the slightest happy moments, the slightest, little time i have with my love ones... I nv want to live in regrets..

Alright.. That's all Folks... (Before i get too emotional..LOL)

Take care All. Cheers=)

Booked a cab to the airport.. Picked us up at 6am. After checked in had burger king for breakfast followed by smoke break and Phuket here we Come!!!

Introducing the members of Phuket Trip:

Standing Left: Yu Jie Standing Right: Chee Kiong aka Stanley

Sitting Left to Right: Wee Cheng, Jason, Wilson and Me!!

Upon arrival at Phuket we almost got conned to take the expensive taxi @ $1800 baht from the airport to Patong Beach. We thn manage to got a deal of I think abt $1000 baht if I dun rem wrongly. but wasted loads of our time as the van could goes up to 11 pax.. we need to wait till the van is full before we could go.. Zzzz.. and the journey is abt 45 mins.

Half way thru.. wanna con us again... ask us take p island hopping package.. $2500 baht per pax if i dun rem wrongly.. and lucky we didn't take it cuz we got a better deal after tat.

Checking in at Baramee Hotel..

Ready to go exploring... like finally.. cuz wee cheng and chee kiong was slping the whole afternoon lor... Tsk Tsk..

$250 baht for 24 hrs.... Excluding petrol... Gasoline at ard $40 baht for abt half tank. Quite standard rate as we had checked a few shops and tried t bargain but it seems quite fixed pricing.. and so we got 3 bikes...

Camera man fail~ guess who is it.. =p

Nicely taken by me.. Heh Heh...

Pink Fino with Pink Helmet... Nice~

Massage!!! We decided to relax ourself... While Jason and YuJie continue to go and explore what's around...

The Massage was SHIOK!! Cheap too $300 baht for Foot Massage, includes head, shoulder and back. Total 1 hr. Worth it.

Guess Who... Kekeke

Our Dinner~ Food ain't bad however price not tat cheap oso.. Total about $2000 baht for the 6 of us.. Its juz beside the Massage place after massage we walk out and this wee cheng had been eyeing this restaurant thru out his 1 hr massage so we went to try.. Can try.. as food in Phuket ain't cheap. unless u r toking about those pasar malam style one.Half way thru our dinner, we heard Vroommmm!! Vroommmm!!! I hadn't got enuff time to get my camera ready.. more thn 10 Ferrari, Porshe, Lamborghini, from Malaysia, escorted by police car drive pass... Damn Nice... Imagine the whole gang drove up from Malaysia... So Cool isn't it..

Believed this was new.. the lightings were so nice and classy if u were to see it live.. and it look expensive too thus we did not went over to get chop... LOL

A super open concept.. u will see this down the whole streets of clubs and bars.. of cuz to attract the rich and lonely angmohs.. LOL

Hollywood~

Nice Music.. however we could not understand the DJ as he speaks in Thai. There was a part where all the ladies went up to the front to snatch for gifts like Balloons, beach balls and dunno wat else..

We went to Seduction before this but it doesn't seem so nice.. they have another one with R n B at level 3 which seems to suit us more but that requires proper atire and need to pay thus we went off.

ROCK CITY~

DAY 2

As there's not enuff rooms at our hotel we were arrange to a free upgrade to 4 star hotel. was suppose to check out at 12pm so we went for water sports first.. Banana boat was fun.. and I believe we are 1 of the group that gets on back on the boat fast after we overturn... haha.. Proud.. and yes... Jetski as well..

Andakira Hotel~

Look at the room!! Super Love it... So nice isn't it with the open concept bathtub.. Weee~

I would say I would recommend this to young couples. Thumbs up. Or old couples trying to find the romance that you have lost touch for years... hehe..

We thn went our trip for the day.. Book a car at $1600 baht.. drive u ard to whereever u wanna go and no time limit. We first head to eat at PhongPhang Seafood. Thn to Big Buddha, on the way down we saw the elephant ride, thn to Phuket Town, which is like a night market like our pasar malam. and yesh.. rem to bargain.

Elephant Ride @ $500 baht per pax, 30 mins.

Singlets starting price will be at $150 baht can bargain to $120 baht. Surf Shorts can get at abt $300 baht. If u were to buy it in the afternoon at the street most probably u get rip. it will cost u abt $750 baht. but the night store at Patong Beach can bargain to abt the same price too.. not a muz to get them at Phuket town, but if u nv been there before you should go and have  look..

First Stop, PhongPhang Seafood.. Nth much really... but if u were to come here.. take note of the price and dun get chop..

Notice the "sarong" I'm wearing? cuz I was wearing too short so I gotta wear this in order not to be disrespectful. I tot it was quite cool..

The Big Buddha~~ Its amazing how they build such a huge statue on top of a mountain.. Hard Works... Salute..

Saw this via Facebook... Ignore the Plastic bottles cuz I dunno wats with it too.. Most women who saw this video will difinitely say the guy is a bastard... Let's review it...

We are not sure if the woman is mentally stable... There may be possibility she's kinda mental unstable and the guy happen to be with her before and she couldn't let go and the guy doesn't want her mental prob to get worse just find excuses to ignore her... Possible? If that guy is really a bastard logically the other ger would flare too isn't it? the ger didn't flare at him means there's trust rite??

If the guy really bastard thn he muz be damn stupid to not notice her... Looking at the queue they should have been there for some times and he still didn't notice... Gosh.. Please learn to wipe your mouth clean after stealing food... LOL

And... WHAT'S with the PLASTIC BOTTLE??? I can't stp luffing thinking about the PLASTIC BOTTLES!!! LOL

Drop your comment!!! What do you think??

Valentine's Day is coming... Had you got the surprises and gifts ready??

Valentine's Day is the day you share your love.. Not only to your the other half but also families and friends.. I used to make little gifts for my friends..=)

The Singles out there, dun brood over a single Valentine's Day!!! You are not the only one.. Your friends will be around and thats lotsa singles out there too..Hang out, chill,movies with your friends..

Ladies... Had you plan or got something for your bf/husband?? They juz need lesser nagging, Slightly more freedom, and I heard from a lady recently, If you treat a guy good he will treat you as good. Let them feel your Love and not bully them which what most SG women does..

Gentlemen out there.. Had you got your flowers ready? The romantic dinner? and the surprises? These may sound so outdated. But guys... Ladies just love it... they may say its ok... dun waste the money but deep down... trust me... if you were to do these for her.. She will be god damn touched..

Have A Great Valentine's Day!!!!
