yeah yeah yeah.. i mangaged to add some photos onto the sidebar of the blog.. but strangely the alignment is off.. being a PERFECTIONIST.. i hate to observe that.. argh.. n my royal subject is unable to share this burden of mine (just kidding).. well.. i am looking foward to new and brave challengers at the moment.. wahahaha.. cheers..
its gng to be a short entry.. after i spent a good hour typing abt sat night.. n blogger 'refused' to publish the entry.. i lost the motivation to blog.. argh..
went out with CK, Marcus and Joelle to Newton Circus on sat night.. meant to take dinner together.. and i was craving for chicken wings (the funny thing was i didnt eat chicken wings that night).. the renovation for Newton Circus is completed.. and we had not been there to makan before (yes.. even before the renovation.. i mean the 4 of us).. might as well go n give it a try.. on the outlook.. the hawker centre looks more spacious.. ventilation is better.. it provides more tables in the open-space.. the lighting had improved as well.. less sweat while u enjoy the local delicacies.. cheers..

and what else can u get at Newton Circus.. of course is the OVER-PRICED food.. serious.. as compared to Lau Pa Sat (we ate a few weeks ago).. we paid more here.. i wonder if this particular stall charges us more or the rest are equally pricey.. hm.. we ordered sambal stingray.. kailan in oyster sauce.. fried calamari.. braised tofu.. fried oyster & 3 cups of LARGE sugar cane drinks.. we paid a total of S$64.00.. that means one person paid S$16.00.. which is exactly S$6.00 more than what we paid at Lau Pa Sat.. and the amount of food is roughly abt the same.. but one thing i had to admit was that the sambal stingray had more flesh and it tasted good! too bad the sambal was not powerful enough.. to make me tear in joy.. grin..
will give other stalls a try another time.. because this time round.. i insisted on patronising the auntie with the 'bao zhar tou' (bombastic hairdo).. u can nv miss such a person.. she was simply eye catching with red and blue pens stuck among the 'bao zhar tou'.. haha.. when she takes order.. she just need to reach back and pull out a pen to write on the pad.. it was one sight that u can nv miss.. haha.. she actually walked past us three times before we got her attention.. when she finally noticed us.. she INSTRUCTED us to WAIT.. huh? nvm.. this is NOT the highlight.. she strolled over and shook hands with all the 4 of us.. and STROKED my HAIR??? huh?? what was that for? i dunno.. the 3 of them thought we were accquainted.. nah.. she sat down and joined us at the table.. started to chit chat with us.. wow.. the topic is 'touting'.. and she even cut out the newspaper article to show it to us.. i rem the conversation goes something like this, "Neh-neh.. u know who is this uncle right?" (she pointed to the picture.. there was this uncle wearing a yellow t-shirt.. okie.. i DUNNO).. **shaked head**.. CK was good.. diverted her attention and pushed her to introduce specialities to us.. okie.. she dun need a order pad.. she wrote our orders on the newspaper.. question mark.. question mark.. question mark.. nvm!
overall.. food was considered ALRIGHT (i prefer Lau Pa Sat).. still will go back again (provided i drive.. and someone is giving a treat).. haha.. yup!
i am running out of time.. will blog abt the ADVENTURE the 4 of us had at the CONTAINER TRUCKS' carpark another time.. hee.. tk care n let this greeting blows away ur monday blues.. cheers.. =)
