Hi guys! I've been sooooooooo busy! I moved to the West side!!!! (of Singapore of course!) Theres been alot of viewing (I think I went to commonwealth mrt station the most times ever in my life), negotiations and finally moving in! We got a really good agent. His name is Philip and he seems like a very friendly, straightforward guy with the best interests of his clients- which is more than I can say for other agents *names shall not be mentioned* that we met. So anyway, we found this great master room at Pandan Valley condo. Don't judge a book by its cover! I sure did, but in the end I fell in love with the newly renovated inside! heehee. The living room and 1/2 floor kitchen/dining room are wonderful too. The only bad thing we discovered today is that theres a lot of walking and busing if we want to get out of the compound for food or whatever! We have to go all the way to clementi interchange! I guess thats why there is a doctor, dentist, grocery store and beauty shops among other things within the compound. LOL Anyway, I've been meaning to put up this post for a long time, but didn't have time for pics till now!! *gasp*

Lets see, fun things we also did in the past 3 weeks!

Henrik brought me to Applebees for dinner to celebrate him getting a job here!! yay!!! I missed Applebees so much! I can't remember the menu exactly but I'm pretty sure its like 99% close! It sure tasted like home! The food was fantastic! (except the chicken wings were a tad undercooked but I didn't send it back cuz I was too hungry) The portions were big!!! I think everyone should go try! *loves* Next stop, TGI Fridays ;)

yum!

super delicious everything!

my mexican chicken!

Henrik tried the fried fishes that come with Nasi Lemak that my mom makes. It was very nice! Daddy taught Henrik to eat the head because its supposedly so crispy but I still don't dare!!!

We played life with my brother and sissy one day. He had the updated version (updated meaning more recent than the version I had 15 years ago when I played life) and I had no idea that life got so complicated!!! phewwww!!!! First credit card monopoly and now complicated life!

We had shisha with Grace, Dom and Gary one night. It was so fun! I feel so old when we talk about the old computers we had and oh how technology has changed!!! We ended the night at Therisa's new apartment near Newton Circus. Lovely place but very hot!!

We also went to IDS one day to find out that the Singapore restrictions for "visitors" are stupid (or at least not as hard/complicated as the countries we're use to). They cannot extend a visitors visa, but they can just give you a new time limit if you step out (say malaysia) and step back in. Well the problem to why there are so many illegal workers and prostitutes have been solved! Its so easy to be in this country! I know both the US and Denmark has a maximum of 90 days per 6 months.

Anyway, afterwards we had breakfast at Starbucks! Yum! I love the cheese bagel and scones :D

That afternoon I met up with Phy, we had a good lunch/snack at V8. Its been so long!! Anyway, I also want to wish her a happy birthday! This is her month and I hope you have many more wonderful years to come! Love you!

Jayce made my family a Korean dinner of bimbimbap one evening! Its like mixed vegetables in rice with a sweet/spicy korean chili sauce. YUM! Trust me, it was better than any Korean restaurant I've tried! Next I want kimchi soup and kimchi pancakes! muahahaha!!!

tada!

The last dinner I made at my parent's house was pan fried herb chicken with pasta and stuffed shiitake on the side!

On moving day, Henrik and I had to drive back from east to west twice. Phew! I had no idea I had so much stuff! And I took up 3/4 of our closets. hehehehe. Theres still some space *brows* In the evening we went to Ikea with daddy, Ian, Grace and Taco. I think Singaporeans must be insane to go to Ikea especially for a meal. It was the most crowded I've seen any Ikea in my life! people were fighting for tables and queuing for food. Ikea doesn't even have that great food! At least none you can do better yourself, save for the chicken wings. lol People make me laugh.

mooooooooving!

Ikea!

We got some fun stuff though. I had to teach Henrik all about bedding lol. Oh you boys, theres much you need to learn. He still doesn't understand why there are so many layers to a bed. Now incase you're reading and you don't know either, I can teach you!

First you have the mattress. Pick the most comfortable in the store (I prefer something mid-soft with an extra layer of sponge on the top).

Second you have a mattress protector to cover your mattress. This layer protects your mattress from dirt and water to make your mattress last longer.

Third You have the fitted sheet with your choice of color!

Fourth You have the loose sheet that is usually of the same color as your fitted sheet but instead of sleeping on top of it, you sleep under it.

Fifth you should have alight blanket that is usually tucked in with the loose sheet.

Sixth you should have a comforter or duvet for a more plush/comfortable look.

And finally, seventh there should be a long quilt to cover the end or begining of the comforter on the topest layer of your bed!

*Sometimes if yo have a bed frame that doesn't touch the floor, you can get a bed skirt to cover the first mattress.

*pillows are easier! You have the ones you sleep on (covered) and pillow shams. Pillow shams are just covers that cover normal pillows but are usually for display purposes or decorative items. Then there are small decorative pillows (Under $5 at Ikea!- without cover)

*sigh* I never in my life expected to hit up GSS (Great Singapore Sale May-June) for furniture and house acessories! BUT we did get some very good sales! And are now Tang's members! LOL We got curtains for $20 (after discount), King Koil King sized comforter cover at 40% off! (Which turned out to be $85 and a Tefal Pan $135 cuz it ws 20% off! hehe I know it sounds a little crazy, but I'm in love with the deep dish pan! It conducts heat 4x the regular pan, it has a spot that tells you when it's heated cuz it turns bright red, non-stick, heat resistant handle, has a handle type thing-but not really- on the other side of the handle so I can carry it if it's heavy, comes with a lid, and the lid handle can turn to release or maintain steam!!! I'm impressed + happy!

tada!

We had our first guests on Thursday! Nichelle, Pingy and Damien came over for dinner! We also baked some chocolate fudge cookies because of Damien's and Nichelles 1 year anniversary, so congratulations to you both! Fun times!

*loves*

Heres a random shopping day at Plaza Singapura and I got my favorite dessert at the food court! I think I's called mango sunrise, and its the most delicious thing everrrr!!!

We saw Shrek 4 Forever After with Levyne and Lun at Suntec! It's such an amazing movie!! Better than 2 and 3! I can't remember the last time I sat in a movie and laughed from start to end! LOL It has the most adorable characters and such a wonderful lesson to teach. "Appreciate what you have, because you don't know what you've got until it's gone" I loved the fat kitty! and "Hand me my angry hair" Pam's movie rating 4.9/5!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shout out a big congratulations to Sophie and Mads for their new baby girl!!! I can't wait to see her when we visit Denmark again!

I still miss my phone :( I can't wait until next month when I'm allowed to renew my contract and get a new phone!! I feel like a part of me is missing :( I hope the person who stole my phone has kids and grandkids who's crotch will be forever itchy and their arms too short to scratch!!!!! I have nightmares now about my phone because the temporary one im using is not exactly the most working phone ever :(

Pam's toast theory: Toast was invented as an excuse to eat butter! *loves*
