[ EaRLy birThDaY ceLEbraTioN aT 1929 ]

I just got home.. sOOOOOooooooooooo tired.. but motivated to blog.. got lots of good shots to share.. cheers.. =)

CK & i checked in 1929 for a night stay to celebrate my birthday.. had been wanting to book that hotel.. but it is always FULLY BOOKED.. now i fianlly know the the reason.. NOT BECAUSE IT IS DAMN POPULAR.. SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS DAMN SMALL.. no rooms available if u book it at the last min.. chey.. i am not exaggerating at all.. the toilet is the most pathetic one i had ever came across.. to put it blantly.. I WILL NV PATRONISE IT EVER AGAIN..

THIS IS HOW 'BIG' THE TOILET IS!
Can u even see a space to SHOWER without knocking into the TOILET BOWL? ARGH!!!


great.. i was promised a balcony.. there was indeed one if u open the door.. to fit in two persons at a time.. overlooking NOTHING (okie.. i am being sarcastic.. not NOTHING.. but the ROAD and ROYAL PEACOCK).. the bill came to ard S$165.00.. my jaws dropped.. i rather pay that amt for Carlton.. oh ya.. i forgot to mention the COMPLIMENTARY breakfast! one quote from one of my best friend (Marcus).. 'chi bu bao.. you er bu si'.. one word to summary my stay = [ SUCK] !


OTHER than that.. everything else was FANTASTIC! recieved my 4th bouquet of flowers from CK.. till now.. i still dunno what was it.. i did ask CK.. but he told me it was picked from the rubbish bin.. and to make it more lame.. the name of the flower was 'La Ji Tong De Hua'.. it just happened so that there were 5 stalks in the bouquet.. to match his frequency.. i named each of them after the individual chinese word.. wahaha..

'La Ji Tong De Hua'


CK got a Green Tea cake & a bottle of Carbnet Sauvignon (red wine) for the celebration.. **yum yum**.. the red wine was [GOOD].. i mean really good.. the green tea cake tasted excellent **muacks**.. but we only managed to eat less than one quarter of it.. the rest were INFESTED with ants when we came back from our dinner.. argh.. such a waste! i love it! strong in green tea flavour.. doesnt taste that CREAMY (nauseous).. alright.. at least we ate some! **wink**


My 23rd GREEN TEA birthday cake!

Sing [Happy Birthday] to ME!

Blur, Candid, Loving.


OF course i got my birthday presentS from CK too! YeaH! and MAYBE more to come? hee.. cheers.. =)


k.. time to hit the shower.. have a good week ahead.. cheers.. =)

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?


People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.


When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?


When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!


When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.


People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?


When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.


When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?


When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

[ oinTmEnt foR eYeS.. haVe u Use iT beForE? ]

IT'S pouring BUCKETS now.. argh.. to think i just walked back from Tan Chong Motor along Dunearn Road.. and it was FREAKING HOT at that point of time.. which was barely half an hour ago.. damn.. the weather nv seem to go according to what u desire.. forget it..


went to the clinic last night.. there is a growth (DUNNO WHAT ####) in my right eye.. which gave me the feeling of itchy and painful.. and the eye was practically sore and red.. and the best thing was I WAS WEARING MY CONTACT LENS.. which doesnt seem to mk things any better.. no choice.. have to tahan all the way till i knocked off before i could go n see a GP..

told the GP about my eye condition.. (as well as my stomch probs.. which had been harassing me on and off).. examined the eye.. infection of the eye.. probably due to the haze.. n me wearing long hours of contact lens (i can wear contact lens to sleep).. haha.. he prescribed some anti-baterical ointment for me to apply on the affected area.. i was still thinking it was just some eye drops that could be easily squeeze into the eye.. NO! ITS NOT! IT WAS INEED OINTMENT.. sticky kind that could practically glue ur eyes together.. and they got stuck to my lashes as well.. argh.. looked exactly like those 'ba-sat' (direct translation from hokkien).. hate it.. i didnt succeed in the first time.. gave up and decided to go to SLEEP.. went to school the next morning.. got my director to help me.. haha.. in the end.. she was successful.. her daughter (Angelique used to have this prob.. and she had trained herself relatively well by now).. haha.. =)



The anti-bacterial ointment for my sore eye


The carbon (charcoal) medicine for my stomach discomfort



met up with CK after his meeting last night.. since his meeting venue was at Paya Lebar.. we decided to meet at Outram.. easier for us to go to Chinatown to eat their famous porridge.. parked the car and were walking towards the place when we saw the EQUALLY FAMOUS chicken rice stall.. decided to go there instead (shorter walking distance).. WOW.. saw Joelle, Shawna and Wei Zhen there.. so ciao.. i didnt even notice it was them until i was right beside their table and they called out to me.. haha..



sat down to join them for dinner.. called Marcus to disturb him.. haha.. used Joelle's phone to call him n i answered the phone.. he was so surprised to hear my voice.. haha.. he still thought that we had arranged to meet up for dinner.. nah.. we didnt.. just fated to meet.. or i could also say that we were at the right place at the right time.. haha.


was given a MC.. but still decided to come to work anyway.. got stuff to do.. and it was Maia's birthday (Wa's daughter).. she wore a white gown for her birthday party.. n the mother invited the MacDonald's crew over with the goodies, food and games.. the cake was from e-creative (I RECOMMENDED that to her.. it is an online website that sells cakes and other celebration stuff.. for more information.. pls visit www.ecreative.com.sg.. thank you for your support.. I AM NOT PAID FOR THIS ADVERTISEMENT).. cheers..


black-out a while ago.. so this was my third attempt at this entry.. there will not be a fourth attempt.. is either u see this or u dont.. haha.. got bored during the black-out.. went into the house to walk around.. saw that Gwendolyn was awake.. she was hugging Shu Ping as she was scared of the darkness.. but she still can ask Shu Ping if she can have the cake.. wahaha.. i thought she was scared.. once the lights came on again.. i brought her to the office to eat the cake.. she was so happy.. saw down and start eating the cake by herself.. i quickly grabbed the camera and took photos of her.. haha.. can see her dimples.. and her cream-stained fingers.. =)

Gwendolyn was trying to 'DO-IT-HERSELF'.


that is all for this entry.. TGIF is just hours away.. cheers.. =p

[ biShaN LaTe nIgHT maTcH + xIaN dE LaI +kRanJi ]

I shall officically ANNOUNCE that Ms Angeline had finished her year-end reports.. wahaha.. i have been working on them for the past 2 to 3 weeks.. now that they are all completed.. i am ready to slack abit.. haha.. cheers to that..


let's start from sunday.. wanted to blog it down.. but i was too lazy n plus i need to relief for my colleagues who went on leave.. practically.. i have no time..


went over to CK's cousin's house at bishan on sunday night.. was quite a last min decision.. her name is Jessie.. she had a husband called Victor.. a son called Victor Junior.. n a daughter called Kelly.. haha.. junior is so CUTE & CHARMING & SHY & everyone i want in a GUY (too bad he is just 4 years old).. haha.. she rang CK in the evening to invite us over to her place for late night matches of the EPL.. y not.. since we are both 'free'.. hee.. drove over at ard 9.. WE GOT LOST.. not because i lost my way again.. someone else got HIS way.. and the parking at bishan is 'HORRIGBLE' (not english = my language).. we went round n round n round n round n round n round n round the CARPARK.. no empty lots.. argh.. tested CK's 3-pt turn.. well.. ITS GOOD.. much better than mine.. haha..


finally got a space at the multi-storey carpark at somewhere else (that means i dunno where).. haha.. this is my first visit there.. but i had met the family before.. but there were at least 4 families there.. haha.. n i LOVE the house.. it was dimmly lit.. with candles.. wow.. ROMANTIC eh.. the rest were cousin steve (wife with MIL).. and three pairs of neighbours.. that lives across her flat (Angela & Lum), beside her flat (Glenn & wife = at home) and above her flat (Paul n Bee Ling).. this is their so-called gathering cum parties.. the children will play in the playroom and the ladies will sit at the table n chit chat (gossip).. the guys will watch the EPL matches..


that night.. we opened a total of 4 bottles of red wine.. n i alone took about half a bottle.. n i need to drive home later.. haha.. we also went house-hopping to take a look at the neighbour's house decor.. i really LOVE it.. because all of them knocked down a piece of wall to combine two rooms n make way for my FAV WALK-IN.. haha.. **HINT HINT**


the night passed rather quickly and i had a fabulous time.. thanks to the man beside me (CK) n his cousins & neighbours.. cheers


now come monday's night.. day was the normal stuff.. WORK WORK N MORE WORK.. haha.. =)
went out with CK, Marcus, Joelle, Britez & Zhong He for midnight steamboat buffet at Bukit Timah (Xian De Lai).. one of my favourite place if i am looking for steamboat now.. highly recommended by Britez.. hee.. it is Shanghainese steamboat buffet.. so u can more variety of their local food.. like my favourites = Shanghainese Meat Ball.. Chives dumplings.. Shanghainese bean curd.. n they also provided everyone's favourite = MEAT BALLS.. beef fillet.. chicken fillet.. pork fillet.. glass noodles.. hand-made noodles.. hotdogs.. crabsticks.. lettuce.. white cabbage.. pork's liver.. n blah blah blah (the menu contained much more food that i can rem).. grin..


we ate from ard 12.00am till 2.30am.. 2 and a half hours of eating (some of us took intervals).. too stuffed!! n we ordered about 3 or was it 4 rounds of food.. talked n eat.. talked n eat.. talked n eat some more.. wahaha..


was deciding where to go.. when our taxi driver friend (Marcus.. because he knows the way damn bloody well) suggested driving over to Krangi Dam.. Britez and Zhong He decided to go pa tor by themselves (movie at Cine).. that fellow is able to give the direction.. and the exact route to take.. wahaha.. with him around.. it is kinda hard to get lost.. UNLESS u are in the jungle.. but no worries still.. my MAN read the map VERY WELL.. he can walk out of a forest given a map and a compass.. haha..


it was a LONG drive down to Kranji Dam (Dun ask me the route.. i was half-asleep most of the time).. all i can see when i opened my eyes was TREES.. TREES n MORE TREES.. n not forgetting to mention TOMBSTONES.. i vaguely rem we passed by Jalan Bahar.. Muslim Cemetery.. n the satellites .. no more..


WE reached the destination after nearly 45 mins drive.. indeed an adventure for me.. because i only go to places like Toa Payoh.. Bishan.. Commonwealth.. Town.. City Hall.. Bukit Timah in Singapore.. haha.. the dam was ALRIGHT.. i was promised a fantastic view and refreshing air.. i took a long look at Kranji Dam.. n that was it.. went home after that.. i was still thinking the FANTASTIC view means that i would get to see the dam that i saw on the movie 'Silk'.. nothing close.. but still ALRIGHT.. **shoot at Mr M**

CK parked the car here.. n someone else took the photo.. =)


oh ya.. we SAW MALAYSIA.. it was just across the dam.. n CK was so excited to annouce that piece of land opposite is MALAYSIA.. because we went to Kent Ridge Park.. he looked across and told me that is Malaysia.. we went to Labrador Park.. he looked across and told me that is Malaysia.. i nearly fainted.. although i am not a GEO student.. i still know my mapping relatively well.. grin..


time check = 6.40pm.. time for dinner.. i am hungry.. stomach doesnt feel too well.. must be something that i have eaten (but the question is because of today's brunch or last night's supper?).. doesnt matter.. it is still painful.. argh..


have a good week ahead to all.. cheers.. =)

[ LaU Pa SaT & sEntOSa ]

sunday morning.. yes.. its morning.. had a rough night.. didnt sleep much.. touched the bed at 4.. didnt fall asleep till 5.30.. n wake up almost every 45 mins intervals.. i guess i shd kick the habit of taking sat afternoon nap.. it is distorting my sleeping pattern on sat night.. sigh..


went out with CK, Marcus n Joelle last night.. we went over to Lau Pa Sat for our 'dinner' (practically it was only me taking the dinner dinner.. the pair took MacDonald's while they were mugging.. n CK took dinner at home).. i missed the calamari so much.. hm.. it was really yummy-licous.. haha.. and we were lucky to find a parking space the moment we arrived.. well.. the satay uncle sort of directed us to an empty spot.. but of course like wat Marcus had mentioned.. we are so-callled obliged to order satays from him later..


First couple of the NIGHT = Marcus & Joelle

Second couple of the NIGHT = ME & CK


ordered 20 sticks of satays (10 muttons & 10 chix).. I LOVE MUTTON!! ya.. FATTENING.. haha.. got the rest of the food from the chinese 'zi char' stall.. that included [sambal kang kong.. sambal stingray.. n 'tua tao' (aka mussels)].. no calamari.. was worried that we cant finish all much food.. the guys went to buy the famous 'tek terik'.. as usual 1 iced.. 3 hot.. haha..

Our 20 sticks of yummy-licous satays


the SAMBAL stingray is powerful.. really can 'fly'.. love the sambal.. not too spicy but the flavour is full.. **beam**.. the kang kong was alright.. BUT the 'tua tao' SUCKS.. pui.. in chinese.. we called it 'xing'.. so we asked the 'didi' who sold us the 'tua tao' to come over.. he explained that is the seafood taste of 'tua tao'.. the exact words shd be 'hai xian wei' (in chinese).. huh??? but the so-called 'hai xian wei' is so 'fan wei'.. **puke**.. then he offered to change this dish to something else for us.. n i cant resist ordering 'su-su' to try.. eating 'su-su' requires skills k.. it actually test ur 'sucking' skills.. haha.. similar concept to that of tying a knot on the cherry stalk.. we also decided to order the calamari as well..


'Hai Xing Wei' de 'Tua Tao' & Powerful Stingray & Okie Kang Kong


hm.. the calamari was not from the same stall.. we still prefer the 'authentic' calamari that we had tried before.. it was really good.. u can literally taste the butter as u bit into the fried squid.. but to be honest.. it wasnt that bad.. just that we are food connoisseurs.. haha.. 'su-su' were good.. i love SUCKING them.. haha.. (i can tie a knot on the cherry stalk).. haha.. Joelle had a hard time eating the 'su-su'.. she even resorted to using the satay sticks.. hm.. but not really successful.. Marcus used his teeth to eat the 'su-su'.. HE BIT THE SHELL AND BROKE IT.. so that he could take out the flesh and eat them.. huh??? he even jokingly mentioned that his mom gave him a set of teeth that can break anything except diamond.. haha.. impressive isnt it.. CK was doing well.. not much prob.. haha.. now we know we can do what.. grin..


Test of the NIGHT = See who can suck the most number of 'Su-Su'!


the 4 of us were deciding where to go after that.. brought the car for a wash along Telok Blangah Road.. hm.. Joelle suggested driving into Sentosa for a drive.. n some exploration.. y not.. bought drinks.. n we drove there.. usually entry to Sentosa costs S$2.00 per car & per pax.. so we were expecting to pay S$10.00 to get into Sentosa.. wahahaha.. FREE ENTRY in the end ah.. the uncle didnt ask us to stop n pay.. so we happily drove in.. wahahaha..


Marucs suggested gng to 15 degree or 1 degree or what was it called again.. erm....... i FORGOT.. haha.. but the view at the place is really breath-taking.. i had been there once with Marcus and his Air Force friends doing charity work.. the place has a fantastic view of the sea.. yachts.. and i think u can sit at the wooden platform and chit-chat (provided there is no one supervising u).. hee.. wow.. Marcus managed to guide us in the right direction.. n we could see the place already.. but damn it.. the security guard stopped us.. informed us in a no-nonsense manner that the place is out of bounds n asked us to go back.. shit.. no choice.. made a u-turn n went back.. drove around Sentosa to 'tou feng'..


walked along Tanjong Beach for a while (so quiet so quiet so quiet).. sat down at the pavilion to chit chat for a while.. i wanted to take photographs but was stopped promptly by Marcus.. he causally commented that u dunno who will appear in the photographs later.. touch wood.. so no photographs.. was sitting behind this couple.. that Joelle n i CANT SEE AT ALL.. but the guys could describe the clothes the guy was wearing n what was the couple doing (ONLY HUGGING.. they said no smooching).. not true.. i cant see a thing.. only palm trees on that little island in front of us.. chey..


drove over to the ferry terminal to look for the old muscial fountain.. didnt manage to see it at all.. my new pair of heels was killing me.. didnt really want to walk around looking for it.. plus it wun even 'dance' at 2 in the morning.. took some photographs of the NEW VIVO city from across the sea.. PSA (Port of Singapore Authority).. n the 'DA ZHONG LOU' at the ferry terminal.. i suddenly realised that we had visited two 'DA ZHONG LOU' in singapore within the same night.. haha.. so ciao..


VIVO city (Left) & PSA (Right)

2nd 'Da Zhong Lou' of the NIGHT


agreed to let Marcus drive the car for a while in the carpark.. ck sat beside him.. n the girls were at the back.. i think he got the kick out of it.. motivated to tk his class 3 after the short drive.. was pretty simple.. just driving in circles around the car park.. round n round n round n round n round n round.. k.. u got the idea.. wink..


sent everyone safely home before i could announce HOME SWEET HOME.. hee.. a good night with my closest people.. cheers..


no tuition all the way till dec.. now i can enjoy my sunday rotting at home.. haha.. have a good weekend to all.. cheers.. =)

[ 1 yEaR aNNiVeRsaRy ]

sat evening.. just woke up from my nap.. still feeling a bit sleepy.. i spent my whole day sleeping.. haha.. recharging after a week's work.. hm.. no idea where to go later.. still rotting at home.. oh k.. fine.. i shd have been more honest.. i am waiting for the car so that i can drive out later.. haha..

went out with ck to celebrate TGIF (i had suggested Pasta Fresca along Bukit Timah Road.. got the craving for the seafood soup).. n unintentionally our 1 year anniversary.. hm.. the exact date shd be today(21.10.06).. since i was quite stressed over certain work issues.. hm.. very tempted to open a bottle over dinner.. so we got for ourselves a bottle of white wine.. during the first toast.. ck mentioned 'after twevle'.. in words.. i would consider that was the celebration.. haha..

Elfo (Pasta Fresca's House Wine)

ordered our main courses as well (in the end.. i didnt order my soup.. haha).. the desgin of the menu had changed (more user-friendly.. it used to be quite messy and cluttered).. so did the servings.. it used to be super large that could feed almost two adults.. but not.. i think one serving is just right for a person.. however the prices went up.. isnt that strange.. i rem i paid ard S$10.90 for a plate of carbonara during my last visit.. now.. i am paying S$14.70.. but the taste remained quite the same.. therefore i am not really penalising that place.. after all.. i really enjoy the alfresco dinning..

CK was sipping the white wine while waiting for his FOOD

main course for ck loked superb good.. he ordered some sort of pasta stuffed with minced mutton.. cream base pasta.. it was one of the chef's specialties.. good choice.. because it really smelled, tasted and looked good.. haha.. in chinese.. they called it 'se xiang wei ju quan'.. haha.. my chinese improved!!! i ping-ed that out myself.. haha.. **beams**.. as mentioned above.. my main course was the TRADITIONAL carbonara.. haha.. but i love it.. n they gave me lotsa of bacons.. haha.. wow WOW wow.. fattening!!!


ME at Pasta Fresca (Bukit Timah)


chatted over dinner (ya la.. ya la.. i gossiped over dinner.. haha).. decided to do some marking (not that i really have a choice.. because i had to explain to mich the following morning).. gotta finish marking a 'O' levels pure chemistry paper 1 (luckily its MCQ.. if not i will really faint).. whose brain can really function after a good dinner and SOME wine.. haha..

ck read his notes (given by his BOSS.. haha).. happily chilling out.. and all of a sudden we heard a LOUD CRASH.. i swore it was LOUD lor.. concluded that it must be an accident.. and pretty near us.. since we can hear it so clear.. and the crowd began to gather.. almost everyone along that stretch of road turned their heads or walked towards the pavement to take a closer look.. of course ck n i went as well.. my gosh.. this is one of the worst car accident that i had ever seen.. looking at the impact.. i believed the driver was trying to make a u-turn(near 6th avenue).. he should have turned too fast.. n hit straight onto the trailer (i think that is wat it is).. wow.. the passenger's [cui ke].. really man.. the tyre rim was flatten and the driver could just hold it.. my goodness.. windscreen also gone.. the engine also GONE.. (that means $$$$$ also gone).. but LUCKILY.. the driver was fine.. he looked fine.. but i think just shaken by the impact of the accident.. anyone would be.. the ambulance and the police came and didnt leave until 11 plus.. i rem the accident took place ard 9 plus.. the whole stretch kena traffic jam for the whole time that i was there.. my goodness.. one good thing.. but the time ck n i were abt to leave.. the traffic is much better.. so no effect on us really.. phew..

hm.. as i was typing this blog.. i was making plans for later.. so i am heading to Lau Pa Sat (i think that is how it is being spelled).. haha.. with ck, marucs and joelle.. after that.. we will decide later.. haha.. have a good weekend.. cheers..

sunday evening.. waiting for my turn to shower.. take the opportunity to blog.. hee.. =)


just came back from IMM.. brought Alpha out.. he arrived at my place as early as 11am.. my goodness.. i just woke up when he came knocking at my door.. hm.. and as i blog earlier in the day.. he was harassing me.. asking me to let him play computer games.. haha.. after he played for a while.. he took lunch and continued to harass me somemore.. haha... i dun want to babysit on sunday.. i have practically 9 children to myself almost everday.. sat n sun are strictly reserved for the adults.. haha.. so i managed to coax him to take a nap while i did my reports.. good.. at least i got two hours of peace to myself.. managed to finish one report in the end.. promised him that i will bring him out after his nap.. so i took a quick shower and got changed.. cheers..


drove over to West Coast Park.. went to the Mac's Drive-Thru service.. and got him a Happy Meal.. for being such a good boy.. hehe.. he wanted the toy n insisted on a green balloon.. alright.. since he is being such a good boy.. got him both.. and he was eating quietly at the back seat.. i guess he was hungry after all.. he took lunch ard 1pm.. ya.. hungry liao le.. haha.. fetched my dad.. n met up with mummy at IMM.. =)


Alpha saw this whole row of machines.. hm.. those white white one that u turn it.. a ball with goodies in it will roll out.. dunno what the hack is that call.. he saw it and wanted it again.. i think it must be me.. i brought him to IMM last sunday n brought him two.. so in the end.. he kept on asking my daddy for two.. opps.. next he saw children riding on animals (those hairy hairy battery operated moving animals/machines?).. in the end my daddy paid two bucks for him to ride ard.. but he was scared to do it alone.. dragged my daddy to sit together with him.. haha.. quickly flashed out my camera n took some snapshots.. he doesnt really like the camera.. no idea y also.. hm..


Daddy helping Alpha to move ard the area.. =)

Alpha concentrating hard in 'drifting'?

went to eat dinner at Kopi Thiam (2nd level).. then Alpha asked to sit on the MOVING ANIMAL again.. argh.. no idea y.. i dun see the big thrill in riding those animals.. so celine n i went walking ard IMM.. targetted The Face Shop.. we actually spend close to 20 mins browsing thru the items.. in the end.. i settled for a stick eye shadow (it's white) n a green tea fine facial foam.. celine got for herself three facial masks.. we did this while Alpha rode on the animals.. haha.. at least my parents are taking care of him for the time being.. seems like they are having a good time too.. =)


Got this from The Face Shop's webby.. smart eh..


left promptly after that.. as Alpha still needs to go back to mama's house.. (he returns to his paternal grandmother's house on sunday night.. so we have to send him back in time).. vroom..

a peaceful sunday.. reports down! 2 more to go! jia you! hehe.. gng to shower n meeting Mr Zhou after that.. night all.. cheers.. =)

sunday morning.. well.. i think i got into the routine of waking up at 11am on sun.. as i have tuition.. my eyes will just automatically pop open.. argh.. digusting.. because i dun have tuition.. and i slept at nearly 6 last night.. this is so sickening.. argh..


went to vivo city last night to explore.. well.. i do have to admit.. as what the advertisement claimed.. it is indeed one the BIGGEST mall in singapore that included cinemas.. fine dinning.. resturants.. cafes (starbucks.. coffee bean.. secret recipe).. retail shops (fashion).. they even have a VIVOmart.. dental clinic and a GP.. nails art saloons.. and they can even include TANGS.. haha.. must be damn freaking big.. oh ya.. they have a SKY PARK that oversees Sentosa.. i kinda like this sky park concept.. it has walkways (made of wooden planks.. i like!), ponds or pools? dunno.. people actually take off their shoes to dip their feet in it.. (i wonder if the designer has that intention in mind?).. n children being children.. WORSE.. they are engaged in water play.. haha.. impressive.. but the sky park is really BIG.. got two levels (2nd & 3rd storey).. the first level even has a kids' playground.. haha.. but seriously.. the haze was so bad last night.. that enjoying the view at the sky park was almost impossible.. Joelle and i were both trying to figure out if the old KFC used to build near the sky park (where we both mug for our 'O' levels.. like 7 - 8 years ago?).. haha.. i guess this VIVO city will shut those singaporeans who always complain that singapore doesnt have a mall as mutlipurpose and HUGE as those in Malaysia (for eg. Justco).. cheers.. =)


i have given quite a beautiful picture of VIVO city.. here comes the UGLY part.. the gang of 4 (ME, CK, Marcus & Joelle) decided to go to Food Republic for our dinner.. the place is nostalgically designed.. the theme focused on Singapore in the 60s? i dunno.. maybe even older.. like the 30s.. haha.. where people can buy 'kok kok mee' by shouting from their houses as the peddler cycles around the estate.. haha.. i got that impression.. hm.. i saw my FAVOURITE BA CHOR MEE stall there.. is used to operate at one of Marine Square's non-air food court.. i recognised the signboard that says 'Hill Street Tai Hwa".. i got so excited about eating it again.. i had been nagging at CK that i missed it alot.. and CK agreed that it was very popular and people got to queue at least half an hour to buy it.. surprising there is no one waiting in the queue today.. but something else caught CK's attention.. my gosh.. the ba chor mee now costs S$5.00.. wow.. so EXPENSIVE.. 5 bucks for noodles??? u must be kidding me.. but i really want to eat it.. so i still bought it.. n asked CK to buy apple juice for me.. hahaha.. biggest mistake.. like what Marcus said.. u pay for HEALTH.. indeed indeed.. the BLOODY small cup of apple jucie costs me S$4.00.. really daylight robbery.. and the rest were complaining abt the prices too.. Marcus went to buy drinks for the rest.. he wanted to get an extra cup of ice to share the drink with Joelle.. so he asked the uncle.. and that fellow told him to paid S$0.30 extra.. wow.. he IMMEDIATELY said "NO NEED" and walked away.. the fellow behind him was giggling away.. seriously.. i dun mind paying 10 cents for a cup of ice.. and i agreed with Marcus when he said that 20 cents is the threshold.. but 30 cents for a cup of ice.. isnt that a bit too much.. it is really like what Marcus said "Chi bu bao, you er bu si."

Food Republic

The S$5.00 Ba Chor Mee & S$4.00 Apple Juice

CK's Fish Bee Hoon Soup = S$5.00

Marcus's Fried Hokkien Mee = S$4.00
(He is lucky.. the uncle asked him if he wanted the 4 or 6 dollars.. haha..)


Joelle's Fried Carrot Cake = S$4.00

CK & I waiting for them to buy food.. =)


drove over to Cathay for SILK.. good movie.. totally scared the shit out of me .. n i need to drive home ALONE later.. haha.. the cast of the show included Chen Chang, Yosuke Eguchi, Karena Lam, Barbie Hsu, Berlin Chen, Chang Chun-ning.. hm.. Barbie Hsu only appears for a few takes.. not really alot of her scenes.. and then she DIED.. haha.. quite disappointing.. but at least she made it to the big screen.. maybe 4 stars out of 5.. for freaking me out at 2am.. haha.. the show is somewhat based on scientific theories.. [anti-gravy].. hm.. but too bad.. the cute looking Japanese guy acts as the SELFISH N MEAN character.. maybe there is y the movie only got 4 stars.. haha.. =)

SILK

Marcus was hungry after the show.. so we drove over to cine to eat XIN WANG HONG KONG CAFE.. i am really so pissed off with their services.. pui.. there was obviously an empty booth seat.. but they REFUSED to give it to us.. saying that that section is closed.. for goodness's sake.. u are a 24 hrs cafe!! well.. directed us to sit somewhere else.. remembering the incident from my last visit (once u order.. u cant change seats.. lame!).. i didnt want to order so that i can change into a booth counter when someone leaves.. waited.. and NICE TIMING.. one table really leave less than 5 mins after we sat down.. Marcus walked over and sat down.. haha.. we followed suit.. he argued that no point waiting for the crew to serve us.. coz dunno what other excuses they might give us.. chey..


was still full but that pathetic dinner.. so ordered something light.. thick toast with peanut butter and jam.. Joelle got the MANGO ICE.. Marcus ordered his usual pork dice fried bee hoon.. haha.. to that extent.. the waitress rem his 'special' order.. haha.. the food is still okie.. but the services really SUCKS.. pathetic is still an understatement.. chatted for a while.. yes.. about POLITICS.. hm.. china.. taiwan.. north korean.. south korean.. blah.. blah blah.. good evening with my friends.. we also chatted about wedding customary.. hm.. seems that we are all the 'experts' (wo know nuts about it).. haha.. ya.. n gossiped a bit about the friends in the circle.. haha.. then happily leave for HOME! HOME SWEET HOME AT 5am.. cheers.. =)
