Prom Nite 2017

my current workplace held the prom nite in school. 

some schools held their prom nite at hotels. some schools do not even hold the prom nite, because the school leaders think that prom nite may be a distraction for the students. or probably because they held prom nite at hotels previously, and the students caused many problems which deter the school leaders from holding prom nite for the future graduating students. 

what are the problems? for example opening the hotel's beer tap. after the prom nite, still stay at the hotel lobby until very late and refuse to go home, despite several demands from the teachers and even the school leaders. the most ultimate i heard of is a boy book a hotel room (he asked his elder brother to book it for him) and invited his female classmates to the room, and even brought alcohol. 

to be honest, if want to give a prom nite for the graduating students, probably holding it inhouse will still be the best option. price is another determining factor. hold it at hotels, probably must pay about 80 dollars. in-house, just 20 dollars will do. 

this year is the first prom nite that i been to at my current workplace, because i am a form teacher of a graduating class. i shall not mention the programme because there is nothing much to be mentioned. hahahaha. so i shall just share the pics!

birthday post

the birthday celebration started with watching Thor Ragnarok at gv gold class at great world city. and if i remember correctly, this is the only movie we watch together for the year 2017. the last movie we watched together was Dr Strange in 2016. 

movie was good. i like the humour elements inside this movie. watching at gold class is even more good. although is very expensive. hahahahaha. 

i wanna introduce to everyone my birthday cake! darling chose the birthday cake, and the birthday cake was bought and collected by my FIL. :)

D’Pastriez by Bread Fresh
Osmanthus Onde Onde Cake

Locations: Fusionopolis One, Telok Blangah Crescent Blk 9, Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 Blk 629, Bangkit Road Blk 257, Fajar Road Blk 445, Gek Poh Shopping Centre, Ghim Moh Road Blk 19, Yishun Ring Road Blk 103, Bukit Batok St 31 Blk 376

Oh, this was a surprise.

I would not have expected beneath the glossy (almost mirror-like) cake glaze, was the local favourite of Onde Onde (flavour).

There are three layers to this dessert. The exterior has a cooling osmanthus jelly, the main portion onde onde inspired cream, with a base comprising of caramelised roasted coconut sablé.

The familiar yet out-of-the-expected combination of pandan and coconut should make this a family favourite.

I totally agree with him. It is worthy of a family favourite. Approved by my mum. My mum is a baker at marriott and she dislikes cakes that are too sweet. If my mum says the sweetness of this cake is just nice, that means this cake got distinction already. hahahahaha.

birthday celebration part 2 was at derek's house, where he invited me to his house to celebrate my birthday. upon reaching his house he confessed to me that celebrating my birthday is secondary, the primary reason is that both his twin kids wanna eat cake. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 

presenting to you, the 4 heavenly monkeys. #四大天猴 

what a confrontation between wilson and xiaoyun's daughter (ria) and yuanze. hahahahahaha. 

the kids totally not interested whether isit my birthday. they more interested in the cake. 

thank you everyone for coming down to celebrate my birthday! my heart is filled with love. :)

and the final round of birthday celebrations is at my tampines home the next day. my parents prepared teppanyaki steamboat! 

look at the spread omg. the meat and fish marinated by my dad. the tray of lamb chops is from cold storage cost 25 bucks, and is my birthday present from my little sis. hahahahaha. teppanyaki lamb chops taste really good, just that need quite a long time for them to be nicely cooked. 
  

look at that fish. so fresh. and so nicely cut. is cut by my dad. omg my dad's 刀功 is out of this world. worthy of a professional chef.
