Kel’s Food Review: Tom’s Palette

Tom’s Palette

Address: 100, Beach Rd #01-25 Shaw Tower S (189702)
Tel: 6296 5239
Cuisine: Ice cream
Website: http://www.tomspalette.com.sg/

Made a special trip down to Shaw Tower to try their ice-cream.
They have some really cool and exotic flavours like, Lavendar & Rose; Chocolate & Stout; Chestnut & Brandy; Pistachio; Summer & Berries, Salted Caramel Cheesecake; Chili Chocolate; White Forest; Melt N Sizzle and etc…

I picked Chocolate & Salted Caramel Cheesecake

The chocolate ice cream is super thick and creamy! I love it.
I saw Chilli Chocolate, quite tempted to try it cos I love chocolate & chili but not when they are mixed together.
They said that it’s hot only at the throat.

And the price is really cheap. 1 scoop for $2.00++, 2 scoops for $3.00++ and 3 for $4.00++

Do give it a try when you are at Bugis.

Making Pink Lemonade

Making Pink Lemonade by Carolyn Lim

We (the entire department) received this book from our Director, Agnes as Xmas Gift.

Making Pink Lemonade tells a story about this lady, Carolyn Lim who was struck by lightning while windsurfing and how she picked herself up again.

I have yet to read this book, merely browsed through.
And I found a few meaningful quotes that I thought I must share with you all!

” When life hands you lemon, make lemonade. Make pink lemonade.”

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

Back to School Party

The D&D was held at Suntec City Convention Hall.
Thanks to Mei Chee for giving Becca and I a free ride otherwise I would have to take a train, dressed in that manner. Hahaha! I think it’ll be fun but nahh…better not lar…

The response was good, majority wore uniforms while the rest tried to dress as young as possible; in tees, shorts (ah! our CEO wore white shorts! haha!!), mini skirts (woo!my dept director did that!*whistle*).

Went right to the registration counter to register so that I can take part in the lucky drama and collect my souvenir.
then i spotted my ‘classmate’!
i couldn’t stop laughing when i see Phil in shorts. that’s hilarious!

do he look like my classmate? we are in our 'uniform'! grey checkered uniforms!

my colleague in ponytail!it's a rare look. you don't get to see it often. and she is a mother of one.

cotton candy stall!

and kachang puteh man in his sarong!

everyone is wearing checkered tops...

waiting for my cotton candy...

Sarina. One of my export dept colleague.

my lunch clique!

she's a pregnant student...

it's assembly time! singing the national anthem, raising Singapore & Schenker flag.

taking our Schenker pledge...

see my sexy PAP friend~... she is a mother of two...

gotta caned...but did you ever see a student who got caned with a grin one?

wheee yeeee wheee!

Becca said that i can be 达浪's girlfriend or 方大同's sister 方小同. haha! i prefer to be 达浪's girlfriend.

my team! Aeroparts elites. Haha!

my boss, Bala.

my canto mentor from IT dept.

with Bren!

time for interactive games...

we even had our very own Schenker Idol. our Sales dept colleague, Alan took part and I must say that he sings like William So.

haha...we even held the customized banner, swung all those lightsticks & blew whistles when he is singing. haha...

this is how we knelt in front the stage in order not to block the guests at the VIP table. i am impressed by our dept, everyone is so spontaneous! it makes the entire thing so fun!!

and he won the 3rd prize!

someone trying to steal the limelight away from me lar!

feeling so young~~!

i just wondered how did she (a mother of one) is still slim after childbirth? this is not fair! haha! i wish i will be like her when i am a mother of many children. hahaha!

with this outfit, she won the best dressed female! $150 cash! i was excited that my whistle flew out of my mouth...haha! that's so embarassing...i hope no one notice that.

special performance by the Sales team ( Vikas, Misuzu & Wendy). again, everyone ran to the stage and started to swing the sticks and blew whistles AGAIN. haha! i am so tired & giddy after blowing the whistle non-stop...my goodness!

the two dancers!

with Misuzu-san...

at last, something worth raving about...the only food that i think it's nice! mango pomelo with sago and strawberries. i have two bowls. i wanted to go for the 3rd bowl but I was too full. what a waste! other than that, everything sucks including the food and service. they served hot tea cold!

for more photos, check out my fb. i think i didn’t took sufficient photos. =(

i enjoyed myself this time round, was freaking tired after D&D.
thumbs up! thank god that i cancelled the clubbing session with 猪朋狗友. i was totally drained by then!!

i love the awesome theme and everyone dressed to the theme.
i had fun cheering for alan & vikas performance! swinging lightstick and blowing whistle!
i enjoyed snapping photos with my fellow colleagues.
everything rocks!

猪朋狗友之 TP X’mas Party

Went back to Temasek Polytechnic on Friday night for TP X’mas party.
Walking on the overhead bridge, hanging with this particular group of friends in TP’s compound and sitting under the ‘mushroom’ really brought back alot of memories…
How I wish I am a full-time student now…

Anyway, the party was so-so only. It’s just another place with food and music for us to get together.
The only programme that I like about the party is the magician!

He’s awesome; with all the cards, money notes and coins tricks!
Wow! I still remembered how he made the coin disappeared in his hands and appeared in my tightly clenched hands within a second!
It’s amazing to see it happen right in front of you!! Even more stunning to participate in the tricks! Cool!

The party ended with a big surprise when Zhiliang won the 3rd prize. $120 Capitaland vouchers! Even the winner himself also cannot believe that he won something. Haha!

And after the party, we spent 2 hours at Han’s to discuss about our BBQ plan.
I am looking forward to our Xmas BBQ on Sunday!! =)

I am a tutu school girl!

Ta-da! My look yesterday @ co D & D. 土不土? Haha! I will upload more later...

Back to Kindergarden??

Check this out! My colleagues went to tailor an adult version of our PAP kindergarden uniform for our D&D. This is hilarious!! It's HUGE!

Stay tuned to check out what I will be wearing for my D & D. =)

恺丽旅游记: Bangkok Day 4 of Day 5 & Day 5

We grumbled that time flies and it's 4th day already. We don't want to go back to Singapore that soon. We went back to Platinum Mall again. Haha!

We went back for the crepes cos it's irresistable! Furthermore, it's our last day in BKK!

Close-up of the delicious crepe!

We went back to hotel to unload our loots again. We always have bagfuls of loots after shopping at Platinum Mall. Look at the mess and Jane's loots!

We were sort of bored and decided to display our loots nicely on the bed and take a photo of it. It's my loots for myself and family!

Jane's loots!I didn't even manage to get a pair of shoes. See how many pairs she has!

Our loots!

While packing, I realised that some clothes Jane bought was nice! So we went back to the mall again! Hahaha! After which, we went to Central World for our lunch. Bought cup corn on our way. Their cupcorn is mixed with sugar and evaporated milk instead butter. It's nice!

Our lunch @ Fuji Restuarant

Green tea is served with thermo flask to keep the tea warm.

We had Chawamushi!

...fried Gyoza

She is a big fan of Japanese food!

A salmon teriyaki set for her...

I ordered a pork teriyaki set.

Total damage @ Fuji: THB 600. Less than SGD 30.00...

I love bears!

Boots! Their 'Watsons'! I love shopping there cos the products are cheap! Loreal, Nivea, Patene, Maybelline etc...

Taken on the bridge between Central World & Big C.

The 'dog poo' & durian cakes from MBK & Nivea,Loreal products from Boots! I forgot to include the Lays' exotic flavours potato chips I bought from Big C supermarket. They have Nori Seawood, Spicy Seafood, Chilli Hot Squid. My family loves them! And I like that Classic, it's less salty than Singapore's Lays'.

Chinatown! Jane said that the people there can speak Chinese so better not talk bad about them there. Haha...

I felt at home seeing all these Chinese signboards. At least no more Thai words that I don't understand.

T & K Seafood. It's packed. I didn't eat the seafood cos I want to keep my stomach for sharks' fin & bird's nest.

Cooking sharks' fin.

She loves birds' nest!

Fish maw & Sharks' fins!

Chunks of fins! There's even crab meat inside the soup. Not crabstick hor...it's real shredded crab meat!

Want some desserts?

Dim sum & roast duck stall

I didn't have the opportunity to try Thai durians. Cos I can't finish one whole durian. I will try the next time.

Jane's friend said that Thais prefer hard durians so remember to tell them you want 'nim nim'. It means soft ones. Haha but this word 'nim nim' can only use for fruits. I remember telling the massage lady 'nim nim' and Jane's friend said it cannot be used that way. Haha! But I forgot the right word.

Woman in power! She even knelt on the rows of durians to pick from the highest row. Kudos!

I decided to try their tang yuan...

Did you notice it? The signboard wrote '甜饼' instead of '甜品'

The menu are printed in 3 languages - Thai, English & Chinese. They even served us tea with no extra charge. It's just a roadside stall, you know... I am impressed.

Conclusion...the riceballs tastes the same. Haha! But their skin is thinner and softer.

Jane wasn’t feeling very well after the dinner so we went back to the hotel and packed our stuff.
We were grumbling how time flies and we haven’t shopped enough. Urgh!

We woke up very early that day, afraid that we will miss our flight due to traffic jam. Cos Jane ever experienced it before and she had to pay another $200 to buy another ticket back Singapore.

The hotel staffs helped us to call the cab and load our luggages onto the cab. They even gave the sobbing expression. Haha…they are so cute lar!

See it? I went with one small luggage and returned with two additional 大陆 bags! I really hate to leave Bangkok! The people are so friendly and nice; the food there are delicious & I miss shopping at Platinum Mall.

Jane 's not any better off too. Haha...she still said that she haven't shopped enough!

Call us kaisu. We reached airport one and half hour in advance. Well, better than missing our flight. And we went to eat Cream n Fudge again! Lol!

Step 1 of 3: Choose your favourite ice cream!

Step 2 of 3: Pick your desired toppings

Step 3 of 3: Choose your waffle bowl/cone

Followed by folding the ice cream with the toppings on the cold pan...

Ta-da! I didn't make my own creation, instead I picked one of the creation from the menu. I think this is Cookie Expresso.

Final step! Enjoy the ice cream! Hehe...

Jane did her own creation. *drools*

Leaving Bangkok... *sobs* I will back again next year! See you, Bangkok!

I love BANGKOK!

Schenker Singapore High

I just received my report card today! =)
