Yellow Tea Cup :: B4nch4’s Daily Stuff

Went fishing last weekend! One day J suddenly decided that he needs a hobby so he came home with a bunch of fancy fishing equipments and and insist that we must go on a fishing trip asap. So we did.

After doing some research from some fishing magz, we booked a boat that took off 4 a.m from tanjung pasir (around 33km from my apartment in kemayoran - pretty far and hard to find!).

Anyway don’t get fooled with the pretty pictures of tanjung pasir above ok! Ollie took that pictures with her fancy camera so everything basically just looks magically better. The real tanjung pasir where we get on our boat is so frikkin’ unchic! Dirty, smelly and full of pantless fishermans (don’t ask why they are pantless).

Once the boat set off, evertyhing seems so much better - Oh how i love the ocean wind!

Check out my PINK fishing stick (is this how people call it or there is a technical name for it?) with a matching PINK fishing reel! Eh, I’m not a crazy pinky madwoman. It’s just all fishing equipments looks so technical and manly, so when the shop attendant asked me what kind of stick & reel that i want, i suddenly got this urge to claim my femininity. “Just got me the pinkiest stick you got on the house, Mas”

I think i really do enjoy fishing…

But the combination of the wind & sun on my skin, the peaceful sound of the ocean and quietness makes me half sleeping most of the time

or busy taking pictures with the girls

and EAT! We didn’t get a lot of fishes (despite of my lucky hat, i only got one fish *cry*) but enough for our lunch.

We marinated our fishes with sweet soy sauce with chilies, smashed garlic and lemon juice, wrap it with aluminium foil and have it cooked until it’s done. We brought canned sardine and abon sapi along just in case we didn’t get any fishes.

It was a superb lunch =) argh! just thinking about the food makes me can’t wait for the next fishing trip

Fishing tips: if you like me who can not afford a yacht or at least a boat with seats, better bring folded chair or little pillow to sit on, because i just found out that sitting on a hard-vibrating-hot wooden deck for 12 hours straight, is bad for your ass.

Swamp with work lately, but luckily i have things to look forward to! I’m going to Singapore on early December with girlfriends; Nova, Iven, Katrin, & Ting. We have been friends forever, with iven since elementary school and with nova, katrin & ting since high school, which must have been err…11 years ago? We kept in touch, meet every now and then, but not as much as we like, so it’s really awesome we can arrange this time for our chic gateaway.

Speaking of traveling, I’m currently drooling over this oh-s0-chic traveling equipments that i wish i have:

Zebra Print Luggage - I’m so into zebra print right now that i almost wet my macbook when i see this luggage

Zebra Luggage Tags - Matching luggage tags?? fabulous0…

Kate Spade Passport Cover - This silvery pink passport cover from katespade is too frikkin’ chic don’t ya think?

Sunglasses - A must holiday item! I already have a great sunglasses but this is one from Yves st laurent just scream glamorous!

Tote Bag - is the most suitable kind of bag for traveling. It’s big, which mean can fit all sort of stuff, and sturdy. Love this Tory Burch Leather studded bag & Jimmy Choo Odette bag (looks like zebra print)

Zebra Print Cosmetic Bag - How can a girl go anywhere without their cosmetic case? This one from Melissa Odabash’s makes a stylish yet durable vacation essential. It’s plastic laminated so you don’t have to worry for any spill or stain. It’s zebra print again. I know. I can’t help it.

Flats - Travel for me usually mean walking all day long, so i won’t be using any heels for sure. I like this lovely cute flats with red heart-shaped thing in front, from wondershoe. This kind of flats will match most outfit quite good and it looks comfy too. Perfecto.

Travel Sleep Mask - This travel eye mask will let you get your beauty sleep and remain stylish at the same time!

In danger of looking like two-legged zebra instead of chic travelers. Better stop now. ciao all

From recent trip to spore, this is me eating all sort of food i can find.

Ah Bai Ling Peanut Soup @Chinatown
Best peanut soup i ever taste. The peanuts have been boiled long enough until it gets nice and very soft. The skin of the Ah Balling is smooth and chewy and the fillings come in six different flavors, including the Green Tea! But i still love the peanut filling the most. SGD 2 for a bowl

Bakpao @random foodmarket

Bakut Teh @Rangoon Road
I walk for almost 45minutes from the closest MRT to get here! If you have a better map understanding than me, it should takes no more than half hour for slow walker. The bakut teh is pretty good.

Banana Cake @Toastbox

Chicken Macaroni Soup @Suntec

Dim Sum @Wisma Atria

Dumpling@Bugis Juntion

Fishball @random snack stall in chinatown

Fishball Soup @Maxwell Foodcenter
This is yummy!

Ice Kachang @Maxwell Foodcenter
You can find it almost everywhere in Spore and it’s all yummy!

Kaya Toast @random kaya toast house
I simply love these kaya & butter toast. I would happily have it for breakfast every single day for the rest of my life.

Kwetiaw @chinatown

Laksa @random foodmarket

Octopus ball @Bugis Junction

Prata @infront of St.Andrews Catedral
Prata is so yummy! Roti prata is the Singaporean evolution of the Pakistani and Indian paratha, a pancake bread made of dough composed of fat, egg, flour and water. It is traditionally served with curry or with sugar. Very easy to find in spore.
