Review: Lunch in Changi - Belly View Cafe

Friday lunch with the colleagues led us to this place located in the East of Singapore - Changi. Drove down to NSRCC, Sea Sports Centre, and lunched at this place called Belly View Cafe. It was the first time that we were there for all of us at this al-fresco zichar place. It was my first time having 'zichar' in the daytime.

Belly View Cafe is located facing the sea, thus one gets to enjoy the sea breeze and the scenic view of the vast sea. Not forgetting as it is very near the Singapore Changi Airport, you get to hear the engine sounds of the air places that are flying overhead. I think it will be a nice place to go at night... Reminded me of the now-defunct 'Shore Restaurant' (where 'Gurame Indonesian Restaurant' is situated at now; Which I liked going there and thought that the place was really romantic and offered food choices at good pricing).

What we ordered....

Fried Chicken Wings

Beancurd. 

With more ingredients inside, like carrots, prawns, etc.

Beans

Whole Fish Assam

The assam was not that nice. Fish was fresh though. 

Apparently, this is one of their signature dishes.

Fish Curry

Alot of us agreed that the curry was delicious. 
For someone like me who doesn't like curry fish, I felt that this was yummy!

Salted Egg Prawns... DELICIOUS!!!!

Another dish of veggie... Kang Kong?

Claypot Beancurd with Vegetables

After lunch, we started taking some group shots at the deck. 

While there, I took photos of the sea view.

I plan to visit this place again, but for dinner. Hopefully it will be as quiet, and probably with some dim lighting and music. If not for our table that had so much laughter and conversation, the place would be romantic even for lunch. But of course, you have to take into consideration of Singapore's hot and humid weather. When I was at the deck area, I noticed that there were trees that acted as shades, as well as the sea breeze. Thus, I wouldn't think it will be that hot afterall. But to each its own! :)

A simple outfit for Friday work.

Have a great weekend, people! :)

A Quickie Update

It's a Friday night and I am at home. 

Yes, I had friends who asked me out. But I chose to be home and I have been clearing my work emails from 6pm till now (skipping dinner, but no I am not on a diet). It has been about 4.5hours and yes, I am stopping my work for today. Work today was busy with a conference call once I got into the office in the morning. 

After the conf call ended, I had a 30-minutes break to catch up on some emails which came in, before attending my internal Sales meeting which I presented my slides (which fyi, I did it from about 2am-5am before heading to sleep and waking up at 7am this morning). Had a late lunch as meeting ended about 1pm, before heading to a customer's place. So somehow, my emails piled up throughout the day. 

Someone asked me to relax after office hours and during the weekends... To stop doing any work-related stuff. But I can't seem to be able to do it. I wouldn't consider myself as a workaholic - Well that is what I'd tell people. Instead, I would share that "I am just being responsible to reply to customer emails as soon as I can, and that if I do not clear my email today or over the weekend, I still have to do it when I am back in the office. So I might as well." Does it sound logical to you?

So the above kinda explains why I have been so busy. But busy I may have been, but I am still updating on my Instagram and Twitter (both under the username @felizaong). So you can check out those accounts of mine for lil snippets that are happening currently in my life.

For those who don't know, I have since switched jobs (and slowly adjusting to the fast work environment). I am still in the same industry, but taking on another role as an Account Manager. It is still a regional role, so I do get to travel on business trips to visit my oversea customers. I don't mind having to fly whenever or wherever I need to, for I LOVE TO TRAVEL. I might as well travel now while I am young and without any family commitments. I really do love traveling and exploring new places... So much so that after coming back from a recent vacation in late December last year, I was already thinking of going on another trip in Jan/Feb! 

I know it sounds crazy, but if I am in the office the whole day. I will be at my desk typing emails the whole day. Non-stop. Other than to stop for lunch (sometimes I will just skip it or get my colleagues to pack back for me even), the few toilet breaks and the phone calls which I need to make or attend to. After work, I will still be working on my emails at home if I have my laptop with me. But just to share with you, it came to a point that I barred myself from bringing my work laptop home on some weekday nights. I kept telling myself I need some 'Work-Life Balance', and to give my time and attention to my loved ones instead. Afterall, I am supposedly going to marry a guy, not my job. :p

With all that I have typed above, I have to retaliate that I am not complaining about my job. I like seeing my numbers grow. I am someone who gets job satisfaction that way. At least my job performance can be quantifiable through my sales figures, and not one that is of a qualitative nature.

Well anyway, I hope after this week, I will be able to resume on my blogging on a regular basis. I really wish to create new content in my blog for all of you to read! What's more, I am really thankful that despite not being able to blog as often as I wish to, I still have my lovely faithful pool of readers still coming into my blog to check for updates. Well, here's the update! Ta-dah!!~~~ WOW, it has been a long time since I typed so much in a post and with no photos at all. No, I can't do that! LOL! So I am going to end the post with a recent photo of myself! Heh!~ See ya!

 And yes, wishing you a great year ahead!

Filled with lotsa love and joy! :)

Old-school snack delights

Old-school snacks that I have a weakness for.

So imagine my delight when that intern from my workplace gave me the Animal Biscuits?
Certainly cheered me up amidst of working hard on my sales report last week haha!


And this was what I snacked on today... A rainy Sunday!
