I received a chocolate bar as one of my birthday gifts from my friend a few days ago. It was a Hershey’s Symphony Giant Chocolate Bar bought from The Cocoa Trees chocolate shop.

Hershey’s Symphony Creamy Milk Chocolate :

As the weather was hot, the creamy milk chocolate bar had almost melted by the sizzler. So, I put it in the refigerator to freeze it.

A few days later, I had almost forgotten about the chocolate until I saw my niece was eating the Hershey’s Symphony Giant Chocolate Bar this evening. It was gone by 90% when I saw my chocolate!

I told her that it was my birthday gift and she returned with a cute grin on her pretty face. My niece told me repeatedly that the Hershey chocolate was very nice and she wanted me to buy some more chocolates for her. Apparently, the chocolate bar is the more the merrier to her.

Then, my niece said to me : “You can buy a lot…a lot of chocolates and I don’t mind” 😉 Oh boy! This is going to burn a hole in my pocket soon 🙁 Well, this is kids’ talk. I always find it funny and amusing as kids are lovely.

Today is my idol’s birthday. I sincerely wish her very happy on this special day of hers.

My gratefulness to her had been written on a birthday card so I’m making the birthday wishes short and sharp over here. I wish my idol beautiful, cheerful, clever, lovely, brainy and fun-loving as ever.

Happy Birthday to YOU……My Idol.

Positive thinking is the vitamin to the mind and it is all that we all need. Thing will turn out differently if we think positively and focus on those results that we want.

Motivational and kind words will impact you to follow your heart and dreams. Say not “I Cannot” but “I Can”. There are inevitably obstacles along the path of our life’s journey and there will be mountains for us to climb. Let us use our determination to climb our own mountains instead of someone else’s.

All of us have to believe that positive thinking will pull us through difficult moments. So, let the motivating words inspire you and get you going by watching the video clip below :

Perhaps one of the best things to do on a public holiday is to go for shopping or eating out at the restaurant.

I bet not many people would want to do some serious reading of books on a holiday when everybody’s mood is believed to be high (on a National Day) and is ready for a celebration if not party.

As usual, I went to the mall for window shopping with my sister and then dropped by a restaurant when we were hungry. We went to the Sizzler — a western food restaurant this time round.

All-You-Can-Eat Salads :

Biscuits, Tortilla Chips, Crackers and Sunflower Seeds :

Swiss Grilled Chicken :

Spicy and Swiss Grilled Chicken Combo :

The food at the All-You-Can-Eat Salad Bar were more than enough to stuff a hungry stomach. There was not much room left in the stomach for the main course to be served.

Anyway, I still have the appetite to swallow a cup of Vanilla and Chocolate ice creams. In addition, I managed to finish a plate of fresh fruits before calling it a day 🙂

My Favourites :

Today is a special day of mine and I have been waiting for this day to come. I am myself’s best friend and I would like to wish myself have a very blissful day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 😉

I love to eat cakes and I feel happy whenever I see cakes displaying at the confectionery shops. I seldom had cakes to celebrate on the special day of mine in the past even though I always wanted to have a white cake for my birthday.

White Birthday Cake :

To my surprise, my sister bought me a birthday cake this year and it’s a white one…..my dream cake! I was so delighted and my eyes sparkled when I saw the cake.

Before this, I was thinking as to whether to buy myself a white cake if I didn’t have any this year. What I wished for has finally come true so I think this is a good start from this year onward 🙂

Actually, my family and I have had an early birthday celebration yesterday at my favourite restaurant. Below are the pictures of the meals that we had ordered at the BaliThai restaurant.

Fried Rice with Prawns and Sausages :

Butter Prawns :

Pandan Chicken :

BBQ Chicken :

Oyster Kailan :

I feel very happy and blessed on this special day of mine as on 05 Aug. I would like to thank all my friends for remembering my birthday. I wish my friends happiness and good health. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

My good friend told me that there is a 1-for-1 Ramen promotion going on at the Waraku Japanese Ramen restaurant. So, we took the opportunity to go to this restaurant to celebrate her belated birthday and my early birthday during lunch time today.

We ordered 1 set of Tomato Ramen and got another set of Japanese Ramen free by using OCBC credit card.

Japanese Ramen :

Tomato Ramen :

As you can see from the pictures, the bowl is as big as a mini basin! Each bowl of noodle comes with a black scoop and a big piece of dried seaweed.

Chopped Garlic :

The irregular-shaped metallic plate is filled with chopped garlic for seasoning purpose. So, the food tastes better by dipping into the chopped garlic.

I like the Tomato Ramen and it tastes better than expected. I think the 1-for-1 Waraku Ramen offer is value for money even if you are not celebrating for any occasion.

My Favourites :

I went to Sim Lim tower to buy some electrical and electronic components after office hour this evening. I bought what I needed for work and then took my time to do some window shopping.

I walked into a Chinese medicated store and ordered a small bowl of Guilinggao or turtle jelly. As the name implies, the turtle jelly has something got to do with turtle as it contains turtle shell powder.

Guilinggao or turtle jelly is a Chinese medicine that is traditionally made with turtle shell powder and China roots in the form of a jelly. It is well-known to be good for skin complexion when ingested. So, I took a few minutes of my time to treat myself better with the Guilinggao 🙂

Next, what attracted my attention was the Chinese porcelain teapot. Instead of containing tea, it was filled with honey to neutralise the slight bitterness of the turtle jelly when consumed.

Chinese Porcelain Teapot :

I think the Chinese porcelain teapot was nice so I took out my handphone camera and did a quick snap. It was indeed a good feeling to admiring the beautiful teapot while consuming the Guilinggao 😉

My Favourites :

My nephews and niece are very fond of having fish spa treatment. They like the ticklish when they are having the fish pedicure.

The kids have had visited a few fish spa before and they really like the feeling of putting their feet in the tank to wait for the fish swarming to their toes.

I have also tried out the fish pedicure before when one of the nearby fish spa, massage cum foot reflexological centres was having a promotion. I would say it was really very fun for letting the fishes do their biting on the skins of your legs.

Today, we went back to the same fish spa, massage and foot reflexological centre. The main objective was to make the children happy.

But I did not take up the fish spa service and I chose to have the head, neck and shoulder massage instead. Reason being that I’m feeling tired and stressed out recently so I need a moment to relax my muscles.

In my opinion, we have to pay people money for their services to exercise our muscles once in a while if we were too lazy to do any physical exercise ourselves 🙂
