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.. =)
