I Love NATAS 2012

ABBEY: NATAS is a fair that travelers are waiting for. For 4sgd (3sgd with MasterCard) you can enter the fair and search for the travel package for your dream vacation. We went there August 26, Sunday. We were looking for Korea package but unfortunately we didn't find one. It's either its out of budget, too many days, or only Mandarin tour.  Only a couple of agencies are offering free and easy but the offer is only until the end of this year. In the end we just collected the brochures so we can plan what are places we will visit for our trip. Maybe next NATAS we can find our Paris tour package.





WILL: This is one of the event we are really looking forward to. NATAS stands for National Association of Travel Agent Singapore, so what we are expecting a bargain of tour packages and free and easy. 
      Early morning we woke up and marched pur way to Singapore Expo bought a discounted entrance fee by Mastercard and straight away started our hunt. 
      Many travel agencies offers Korea tour but no one has a english speaking tour guide is available for next year. We went to look for free and easy and the difference feom this free and easy is only $500, tsk tsk! 
      My dream collapsed but I will not give up to pursue my husband's dream. Haha. We left empty handed but now we are for plan B. :)

Wheels and Wieners


ABBEY:  
This diner is at located at 25A Perak Road in Little India. With table settings and decorations set at 1950's this will definitely get you back in time. The staff advised us to try their beef stew and bacon at 10sgd ( usually 25). I got their Five O with fries at 16sgd. The food is delicious specially the hotdog. The fries is a bit drenched in oil though. We munched on the food as we check out Chat's latest phone. 












WILL: Via viber, Abbey said, "On Monday we have a date." then I replied, "Let me check first my schedule.". All I can do is smirk when he send a sarcasm sms "Tsk! Too busy?!". Haha! 
Of course, who am I to resist the offer? So I free up my heavy schedule for that Monday and Chat is free too so we all meet up at Wheels and Wieners.  
      It was located in the heart of Singapore's Little India and surrounded by backpackers' flats. As we enter this restaurant, its like we blasted back to past. I got their Monday promo $10 for Jack's Beef and Bacon Stew. The taste?, awesome. The thickness and lovely aroma of the stew clicked well with the garlic bread. Abbey's one was served and after taking a bite, he told me to taste it. Exaggerated it may seem but the hotdog really tastes good. And so Chat's standard in food was met by this diner. We really love the hotdogs in here. 
      Before going back to our pads, I visited their washroom, and I was astounded also by its design. Unlucky, my bag and camera is not with me, never got a chance to take a photo. 
This is very recommendable. If happens that you are along Sin Ming Tower, pay a visit in here. :)

Clipper Organic Nettle & Peppermint Infusion Tea

ABBEY: This is one of my favorite tea fusions. I have tried their berry and mint infusions. At 7sgd per pack (20 tea bags), its reasonable. By the way that is the price when the tea is on sale :) I forgot the original price. The mint infusion keeps me relax as it leaves a trace of mint in your throat and nasal passages. I told Wilma that its like a mint gum soaked in a warm tea. I like berry as its aroma fills my workspace when I prepare it. I prefer berry with crackers or pastries and mint by drinking it alone.




WILL: Not only Abbey but also Chat is turned to be a tea drinker. She read about the benefits of tea leaves in our body then she decided to go for it. I recommend her to try on the Detox flavored Clipper's tea then when she got at Cold Storage in Vivo, she saw that all Clipper's product was on sale. I grabbed the chance, rode a bus to vivo and bought two packs of Peppermint flavoured tea. 
      The taste? Refreshing! Even I am drinking a hot tea it seems it was iced cool when I breathed in the after taste. This costs $3.95 on sale.
