Why is it tat sometimes when u dun ask for anything, it still feels like u're asking for too much??
Sigh*

Anyway, cos i will be making my way to New Delhi tonight... Yes India...

The ultimate Get-together @ Cicada n Doggie Mud Spa

It's all in my head...
weddings weddings n weddings...

such a pretty n cute wedding cake!!!

Me n Von were poking n prodding n wow-ing at the play-doh quality of it...
Not realising tt it's real....
Until the end of the night when they freakin' cut the cake n gave it out n we were like
"Woah it's real one lei!!!"

I mean the truth is.. how many plastic fake cakes have we all seen at weddings huh???
huh huh huh?!?!?
n how many times do we actually get to see the top 2 tiers being taken out n the bottom getting cut!

we were like "oops!! dun eat the icing pple!! we poked it!!" ;p

Ahhhh... so good to see some whom we haven't seen for eons...

The original old Domies...
Look we can run an entire Saturday madcap dinner service liao
Supervisors n chefs n solid cashiers n baristas n food, drink n station runners.
The memories of all my Christmases n Valentine's days spent at werk.

The commis cooks have since moved on to being sous chefs, chef de parties, executive chefs...
The supers have moved on to be managers...
The rest of us have just... moved on......
to full time jobs, full time things, marriage... etc...

No more standing next to sandwich/main course counters haggling with the chefs on how each customers want their special orders... *giggle*
No more bugging the harrassed cashiers on long waiting bills
No more cowering behind the bar counter asking for new ice creams when the old ones have melted..
No more slinking behind kitchens stealing just-washed water glasses...
No more sneaking just sliced roasted beef n freshly peeled king prawns or forzen tiramisus...
No more writing "Special pizza, special, pie, special pasta, Soup of the Day, Special dessert, Brew of the Day" on the specials board n having to memorise them n having Adi traumatise u during briefing. hee hee

Life has become a big usual Blah since school days ended n real working-for-money-life had began...

But it's still a big 'wheee!"

The happy days will still be happy days as long as we have each other. :)

..................................................................................................................

Met up with G n her sister brigade on Friday nite for some wedding planning...
March in music, sabo games planning, itinierary for the day, traditional customs, colour of dresses....

Personally, i'm super excited...

Pictures of J n WW's wedding which i failed to attend cos of many circumstances already in FB...
N it's all white n pretty n I'm actually jealous! ;D

Sigh.. i wanna pinch myself to remind myself of reality. ;p

....................................................................................................................................

Sometime last week...
Doggie mud spa!!

"Woah! wats tt bubbling up against my balls!??!?"
"grrr woof"

"hmmmmm i'm really starting to like this........
Wait.. i move abit aside so the bubbles dun go straight up my arse..."

"ooooooSaaahhhh"

Coating him with dead sea mud thingy


"wooof.. so much attention... so many hands on me... massaging massaging...."

We put some on our hands too n it felt soooo smooth after ....
N smells good too!!

Wat recession??
These loving owners sent both their big doggies for spa treatment tt day...
Per dog SGD 80 only lor!!
Wat u waiting for ?!?! Animal Resort! ;D

Dubai: The service apartment, the party, the cooking...

As promised ...
Pics of the Angsana service apt along Sheikh Zhayed road

Once u enter..
Kitchenette with microwave, stove, dining table, kitchen sink, washing machine!!!
Big bed plus DVD player!!!

Fridge, little corridor where my cargo bag is parked n to the left is the loo...

Weeee! i wish all our hotels were service apartments!!

I was hooked onto the free in room wifi once i checked in.
Havent even unpacked n i'm supposed to nap before going out with the other flygirls to check out party scene!!
Was busy on Facebook checking out friends' Halloween pics.
It was hilarious! ;D

Met in lobby at 10.40 pm

Caught a cab to The Palace at One n Only Mirage (or something called that) where Kasbar is.

We flashed our crew passes n everything seemed dandy n fine except we forgot tt the clubbing age limit in Dubai is 21!!!!!

Well, not tt i'm underaged... but one of the girls was just 20!!!
My sister's age!!! n she was denied entry!!!

N we all forgot she was not 21 yet.
Gee....i must say now tt if my sister join cabin crew, i sure cannot sleep every night.
Having seen n experienced wat i had these 4 years while flying, i sure become super worried one lor.
i even imagine myself being more possessive bout her than with any boyfriends man.
Make sure she call home at every destination n all... yikes!

So anyway.... we had to find another place to go after a quick discussion tt she could use the other girl's ID n we enter separately in 2s instead.

We made our way to Chi Bar at The Lodge cos one of the girls has a friend in Qatar Air who said tt it's damn happening n atas n there was a guest Dj there tt night.
The reason we stopped by Kas Bar first was cos she said there was a queue of bout 50 pax outside Chi.

BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE....

Nabei kena cheated...

Firstly, the crowd is not as atas as described.
N... what fucking crowd she talking bout!?!??!?!
The place was EMPTY can?!??!

Secondly, the Guest DJ was playing indian music......
-__-"

Hokie... not tt it's all tt bad... but tt's not wat we came for...
N tt's not wat we expected...

Aiyah... stick around for a drink lar
So thirsty liao running here n there.
Cab fare from Angsana to Kas Bar at first was bout 40 dirhams (1SGD=2.3 AED)
N then from Kas Bar to The Lodge(behind American Hospital) is another 60 AED...

Drinks not cheap also lor.
We bought rounds.
2 vodka OJs, 1 dry martini, 1 lime margarita = 154AED

Me n my underaged sister.
wahahahha~
Actually i think i will go club with my sis if i can bring myself to smoke in front of her lor.

I went to chat with one of the wait staff n found out tt next door playing RnB.
N off we went!
How to dance to indian music!?!??!
Plus maybe the crowd went there!!

But again... not a single soul in sight...
WTF!!!
already 0030 hrs liao lei!!
ON A SATURDAY NITE!!

Apparently the wait staff said tt Sunday nites r more happening....
At least in Dubai...
strange!

BORING...
okie.. maybe we got the wrong recommendations..
I wanted to go the Zouk equivelent of Dxb..
Not this!
Damn!

Only consolation.......
PLUS CAN SMOKE!!!!

Looks crummy n oily doily i know..
But seriously the most tasty n WARM nachos i've had!
u know how nachos get like bland without dips n stuff?? This one rocks! ;D

Crowd still din come in all the way til bout 0200hrs....
So we entertained ourselves with 5-10 lor...
n photo taking...

Already out liao.. might as well have fun.

The Thorn amongst the Roses
Good to have a guy around... for security reasons lar...

Plus we were scaring the new flyboy with stories of how people here r open to the concept of sodomy.. wahahhaha~!

Me n Cass in the ladies!

After cocktails n watever drinks... beer is still the best for Dodo esp when they dun do JUGGIES!

I was bored outta my brains n decided to snort some beer for a quick buzz...
yeah rite! ;D

"5-10 lose drink!"

"3 times double! Drink!!"

Woah! They do Jeger Bombs here toooo!!!!
N there i was explaining to the bartender we wanted Redbull n Jeger shots n he was like "u mean u want Jeger Bombs?"
N i so happily went "yes yes thats it!!" ;D

Alcohol dulls boredom...
On our 4th drink only tt night!

Opps! shots tipped over without anyone touching them in the middle of photo taking..
Dang!

Lights on at 3am sharp!
One of the girls was complaining she's like only halfway done!!
wahahahah~
Wat spoiled clubbers we have become!

I was quite relieved though...
Cos i jus wanna go home to my room n sleep!

With the twin PR execs of the bar...
Both little persons!

End of night!
..........................................................................................................................

The next day, i rose at noon n had sudden inspiration to make use of the kitchenette...
Why not? it had everything i needed...
Full set of knives, chopping board, microwave/convection oven, boiler, toaster, utensils, plates. bowls, pans, pots, can opener blah blah blah...

I tot i would jus buy something from Nandos n then whip up something easy for sides.

Cos the fact is.... i DON't cook one lor.
I can't even fry an egg, i always burst my sunny side ups!
Only tried pasta once n it was with my mommy next to me!

yar lar i suck. bleah ;p

But i found out tt the overhead bridge to Nandos damn far away n its impossible to cross the flyover, n it was too damn hot n sunny outside (hello it's freakin Dubai!) to walk tt far n i ended up buying fresh mushrooms, pasta etc at the grocery store nearby n went back n did this...

Broccoli, mushrooms, chicken tomato based sauce for pasta...
I'm so sick of cup noodles n instant food n expensive room service!!

Ta-dahhh!!!
My first meal cooked outstation. Healthy food somemore k!
All done while Boyfriend was on my computer screen n we were Skyping...

Okie lar... with minimal condiments (no salt no pepper! just olive oil n ready made tomato sauce!).... it's actually edible.

Im not such a bad cook after all..
Gonna give the egg frying thing another go tomorrow...

BTW, did i mention already that Skype damn fun can!!
I know lar, once again i'm damn slow in such things being the laggard tt i m but it's like the best thing ever!

Me n Boyfriend can have a conversation over our meals together even though we r thousands of miles apart n while he play game i can read my papers like we r in the same room n it's FREE!

Of cos the boyfriend in question when u wanna Skype must be wonderful enough to wanna spend an entire 8 hrs in front of a screen too... *gush* ;)

Okie im gonna make myself a snack n the crew r bugging me to go down to the crew room!
They say got debrief wor! ;D
haha! as if!

I will take picture of my fried eggs tomorrow!
