New Haven New Jersey..Singapore!

3 cities in a week--New Haven, New Jersey, Singapore

Back home in Singapore! Finally!

I was soo happy when the plane finally touched down at changi airport. However exciting and interesting US may be, nothing compared to the warm fuzzy feeling that washed over me as I saw the sunny island with its HDB estates and palm trees. It feels really good to be home.. being with my dad, mum & sis..and my dog rocky!=) boo..rocky's lost so much weight cos i wasn't around to feed him my share of cookies, chocolates & cakes!

Been too busy settling in & continuing with my ophthalmology elective at NUH, and meeting up with family & friends to have time for jet lag! Haha...think i recovered from jet lag as soon as i hit the airport!;)

Anyz..after a month of general surgery, it sure feels great to be back at ophthalmology again! The people at the department, the ophthalmolscope, the lens, eyelids, cornea, optic nerve...i sure missed them! Heheh.

And..on Wednesday i met up with some of my dear girl buddies to celebrate lijing's birthday! We met at one of our fav girlie restaurants--Marmalade Pantry. So much fun, giggles, b*tching, indulging..the food was fantastic! And we had a lovely time.. here's a photo collage i took from lijing's blog with her permission..Like Lea says, lijing's camera takes really flattering shots..and the collage is so nicely done i just had to have it! Thanks again birthday babe! =)

But of course here are more pics of my favourite subjects..FOOD!
Salmon teriyaki with chilled soba..yummy yummy but definitely needs a larger serving..the salmon fillet was so small!

Chicken pot pie..my all time Marmalade pantry favourite! The biscuit is done just right! not too crispy, not too soft!

And the best part (well at least for me) were the cakes! And cos it was lijing's birthday, we got free ice cream to go with them! Lip-smackingly good!

Flashbacks..Here are some photos of my final leg in New Haven & New Jersey.. I had a great time, and was pretty reluctant to leave U.S..kinda sad the adventure had to end..Or maybe not!

NEW HAVEN

Dinner at Pacifico was rather expensive but the latin american food was unique and yummy.. esp Nic's spanish seafood paella..



Yale university

Yale medical school


Louis' Lunch Est 1895..Did you know hamburgers originated in New Haven? Yups..this place near Yale is famous for their original burgers..it's more like a sandwich with a generous serving of beef patty!

NEW JERSEY

Great bbq dinner at New Jersey with Nic's Aunt Sok & Uncle Ian.. Thanks dear for being such a great bbq chef! The beef and tuna were scrumptious!:D
