Ashley's Travelogue - Down Under

Leaving our footprints in Perth.

Everyone was very surprised when they found out that I had never been to Australia, well my chance came when SQ was having a promotion on the airfares. The best part? No extra leave needed as 4 days of Jubilee leave was enough. =) Thanks Singapore!

Booked 6 months ago and finally we are departing! 4.5 hours flight on SQ was so enjoyable. Caught 3 movies which I wanted to watch and before I knew it, we landed. We didn’t plan anything in particular, just playing by the ear and following the mood. But first, car pick up and a sim card for the internet savvy people. LOL. Booked a convertible thinking that it’s an awesome plan as we could enjoy the coastal scenery when we drive pass it. But truth hurts, it was drizzling when we step out of the airport. Drove round and round around the airport as there was road construction everywhere, we couldn’t relay on the maps but to read the road signs. After 10 left turns and 20 round abouts we are finally at our accommodation.

Wings Bar @ Clarke Quay

Wings Bar @ Clarke Quay

As usual by the time Nick and I met after work is close to 9PM. By then, most of the restaurant would be having their last order soon. We wanted a place that we can chill and eat our dinner slowly...Clarke Quay provide a good choice. There are many restaurants there that operate till late. Since, Nick had a craving for Western Food and he really like Wings Bar food so here we are!!

At Wings Bar, the waiters and waitress dress like pilots. They look cute in it. Photo of the bar.

Chicken Wrap...the chicken wrap is REALLY GOOD. This is definitely one of the best chicken wrap I had before. However, the side dish is very very disappointing. First the fries is soggy, the fries must be lying in the kitchen for quite sometime. The coleslaw is nothing great thou it is a chef recommendation. It is a pity that the main is so good but the sides is so disappointing.

We wanted to order Fish and Chips but the waiter is afraid that we cannot finish as the portion is quite big. Instead, he suggested we order this Fish Bites which is the mini version of Fish and Chips. Very nice gesture of him. The Fish Bites is rather average the batter is thick.

The Ranch Beans, I like this ranch beans they have the smoke bbq taste.

Another Chef Recommendation, Onion Rings. Their Onion Rings are delicious. The batter is so crispy and with the herbs it taste perfect. 

Wings Bar  is famous for their Chicken Wings but we never ordered any this time. We wanted to order the chicken wings initially but the kind waiter reminded us that the food we order is enough for two person already. We are glad that we listen to his advice, we are really full after we finished what we ordered. We be back again fro some Wings the next time!!

Anning Chia's 29th Birthday

10 June 2013

This year my girlfriends and I are taking turns to celebrate our last Twenty birthday because it will be the Big Thirty for us next year. But honestly to me, age is just a number. Growing older means we become wiser, richer, prettier and more forgiving. So having said that, I can't wait for my last Twenty birthday to arrive!!

Now back to Anning's birthday, she chose Brussel Sprout at Sentosa's Quayside Isle because of the nice landscape and tranquility.  But since it's been so humid recently we had to keep asking for cold water with lots of ice.

Joy and Anning. 

(Joy is Anning and Angie's ex-colleague who later became a frequent guest for our group activities).

 

Hazel & Maggie Lim

Shujuan & her classic timeless clutch

 Miu Miu & Chanel

 

I love the yellow on this ASOS dress and I purposely paired it with

a neon pink ZARA clutch to bring out the 2 colors.

The dress can be worn without a belt but by I think putting on a belt accentuates the waistline.

 

Maggie in all white looking all angelic. hahaa

 

Decided to sit on the wooden floor to pose with the yacht.

 

A upclose edited photos. I paired the look with a pair of pink mary janes from Stuart Weitzman.

The light pink/nude heels lengthen the legs but doesn't steal any limelight

from the dress and the clutch bag.

 

A pretty dress isn't enough to standalone on its on.  Accessories play a huge part in the whole look. For this occasion, the newly acquired Hermes CDC and a pair of purple Swarovski crystal dangling earrings (not clear from the photo) complete the look.

Discussing what to eat. Anning looks kind of retro in this photo.

An angry woman is a hungry woman, so let's start eating.

Hazel & Maggie & Codfish

 

Clams in white wine sauce with free flow of fries

Asparagus wrap with bacon

When the waiter served this dish, I was like : who on earth ordered 3 sticks of asparagus with a lump of mashed potato! I could have made that for you!

The weather was so humid that we had to take turns to stand infront of this cooler.

Finally the other 3 arrived but as it was getting dark, the photos did not come out very clear.

Can you see that Shujuan's hair has collapsed from the humid weather? Hahaha

Joy, Anning & Hazel

At the hallway before walking in.

Birthday girl busy making birthday wish. What wish did she make?? World peace?

Anning, we wish you a very happy birthday. Many times WE (all 9 of us) argued and had discontentment but at the end of the day, we are still here for each other. We pray that you will be happy and healthy and meet all your sales target.  And lastly, we hope all your wishes come true!

We ended the night at about 3.30am as I could not take the sleepiness anymore. So bye for now and next on the Birthday Celebration calendar is Jocelyn's birthday which will be held in Johor Bahru.
