What the Mailman Brought with him this Morning

This~! :3

A Chiang Mai, Thailand postcard.



Sent from Singapore! :P



Thought it was going to be another boring day at the office and then saw this.xD Made me happy. ^_^

ありがとう、アルベルトさん！ ＾＿＾

-

Have never been to Thailand, and Chiang Mai seems to have a very lively night scene!



-

I also love this turtle stamp! :P [lol, reminds me of my pet turtle! -- though I like most turtles in general.>_<]



It kind of shimmers too when viewed against the light.. are most of the new stamps in SG like this?

~

Reminds me.. I still have a couple of stamps I haven't sorted...



Most of these are from business mails:



And some more:



As for these ones, found them lying somewhere around the house. [My dad/mom both had a stamp collection, I guess they kept these but never added them to their collection]


[Note: these stamps are older than I am! xD]

These are rather new though:



--

Hong Kong stamps!



My uncle in Hong Kong sends some documents over occasionally...

[These are from the earlier years...]


and some that are new:




~

Shall rummage through some of my old letters and photograph the stamps, :D

I don't peel them off the envelopes when the letters are addressed to me, but for business mails I just keep the stamps and get rid of the envelopes.xD

.......Now where did I keep the ones from way back.....o_O

On the Subject of Ice Cream

Someone had their teeth pulled yesterday-- which was good excuse to get some ice cream!:D

Have not had them for a while, so was very excited when I heard we are bringing some home.>_<



The store we went to had a load of Korean ice cream, which explains why these are all Korean...



This is a taiyaki one that I have always wanted to try (well, wanted the japanese version, but we don't have it here.=S)





A coffee-flavoured bar..



-

What I am currently eating is different though..



Topped it with a Meiji Dark Choc for photo-purposes.xD



-

Some games I downloaded and trying on my psp..







-

Spent most of my afternoon comparing flight prices and schedules, and have finally decided.:D

Purchase done, now I wait for my ticket.xD

Lol, think I should read up on the places I'm going to....:P

Pretz X Pocky

Pretz X Pocky



..are two of my favourite things.:D



This blueberry one caught my eye.



Was a first to get Pocky in Blueberry.



Tasted marvelous.XD

Kawaii notes

Bought some sticky notes today.:D



And a purple marker..



Lol, do not have good use for them, will probably just pile up with the rest of my stationery..



But it had such a cute design I just couldn't resist buying.xD



Heh.



-

Also bought a new pair of super sharp scissors.



Have a few pairs of good scissors but they are quite small.:D

Red packets are not always red.

Red packets are not always red.

Modern ones are placed in colours other than red (sometimes also in pink!)

These are packets I received from my uncle.



The Chinese character on the upper left side of the envelope is also my last name / family name (written in Chinese).



Some HKD, you might notice that the design is different (although the colour is similar)..



The reason for this is that they're issued by different banks.

One is the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation:

The other is issued by the Bank of China:

Come Chinese New Year I will be receiving more hong bao's.

Cofee-goodness.

Picked up some coffee the other day from the supermarket.:P



I have yet to try this brand..:P I hope it's good.



And some UCC ones.



~

Have been busy preparing stuff for Christmas giveaways and such at the company.

Just realized we had a load of wine sitting around.xD

So we thought we'd try this one:



Now to find that corkscrew...

Food Review :: C2 - Classic Cuisine

Last night's dinner:



They have these on the ceiling, which I like.



Over there is their kitchen,



And here comes our food!

This one here is called a Walastik. It is primarily strips of beef, some pork, etc, in sweet sauce. It is served with Onion rings and some veg on the side.



Tasted marvelous.

-

Also had some Laing, which consisted of vegetables, in coconut sauce. It's a spicy one, this dish. But that makes it even better!



-

Ordered soup as well, this one is called Sinigang na Bangus, it's a saltyXsour soup (sometimes spicy too, but not all). Normally you'd have a choice of Pork, or Milkfish (locally referred to as Bangus).



-

The best thing to go with these, is Garlic Rice.



It boosts one's appetite a whole lot.. I think so anyway.



-

It's a pretty nice quiet little place to have dinner. Well, not very cozy when it's packed, but food is great.
