Updates for today...went out with my brother..we seldom go out together so decided to go out for a walk before we head to meet our mum for dinner in the evening..we went down to ion orchard for a walk as i have not been there before also..so shopped around, grabbed some small bites at the basement's food stores, walked around..guess what!! we saw david tao zhe there too..we bumped into him at pull and bear store where he was buying some clothes..at first, we didn't notice that it was him as both of us were just looking at the same section of clothes with him..then, he asked the staff for sizes for some shirt and my bro and i both began to realise that the voice sounds like someone..so we both took a closer look and realised that it's david, tao zhe!!!! he was in quite casual and there isn't people like his manager or so with him, probably because singapore unlike hong kong or taiwan where there is paparazzi no matter where you go...think there's more freedom in singapore and no worries of being reported as easily..not sure why he is in town for anyway..hahaha!
after which, we met up with mum and had dinner at a shop opposite tiong bahru market named "le le pot"..had steamboat there..well, not too bad, probably because it was raining also so it's rather good to have steamboat to warm ourselves...it cost about $20 each person..quite a variety of dishes and they also serve each a dessert after meal...a side dish that worth to be mentioned is their fried pumkin..initially i thought it will just be normal pumkin with fried skin..after tasting it, not bad..quite nice..the outer layer is crispy with a thin layer of pumkin and filled with red bean paste..quite unique and nice!! never taste this in other places before..

Well, was too lazy to update during the past few days so now, quick update in one shot...nothing much happened..worked at e2i for 2 days...the rest was at home..met up with threesome just hours ago..anyway, it is 3/4 past midnight now but practically i still consider it as
friday as
i'm haven't call it off a day yet..
haha! waiting for the repeat of my show...didn't watch it earlier to gotta wait till 2.15am for the repeat, thanks to the introduction of
friday's movie on channel u...next week, "hot shot" will be
broadcasted on weekdays 11.30pm which will also make the repeat of my show till 1+am instead of the usual 1 or 1.15am...it will be even later such as 1.30 or even 1.40am..
oh..there was 1 incident that i was angry with..on
wednesday, it was raining heavily at around 11+am..however, it became drizzling around 12pm and because i was going to work, i thought that perhaps i should just walk to train station since it was just drizzling..then, not long later, a sudden pour again..what make it worst was that as i was walking along the pathway towards train station, a bus dashed through the traffic and resulted a pool of water on the roadside splashed on me..very "thanks" to the bus driver..the right side of my clothes were drenched just within 5 minutes since i stepped out of my house..because of this, i was super cold when i was in the train and my lower legs are wet throughout the day...luckily, i didn't get to see the bus' number plate if not, i will definitely "thank" the driver for being so "kind" to me...inconsiderate for other road users or
pedestrians..

Okie..let me give a short and sweet update..celebrated my cousin's 21st birthday over at his house yesterday..it was also sort of like a gathering with the relatives..bought a chocolate cake from polar cakes & puff as my present for my cousin..outcome: average..not really satisfied with the cake..found it a little dry on the sponge and don't really have the chocolate taste..then, had steamboat at his house, chit chat and laughters...pictures uploaded in my facebook..that's all folks.. =)

Just past midnight now...a couple of hours ago, i had a super extremely spicy dinner that even until now i can feel the spicyness..it is the most spicy meal i ever have in my entire life until now..actually it was a home cooked dinner, however, because my mum has not try using the tub of chilli flakes that her colleague bought for her, this time she decided to use it on one of our dishes..oh man, we both didn't know the spicyness of the chilli flakes..my mum said that she only put a teaspoon of it while cooking the dish but it was super hot and spicy..when i grabbed one mouth of it to taste the dish, i can already feel the spicyness...during dinner, i was like...couldn't take it at all..every mouthful was super super super spicy..even with water to rinse the dish, it no longer help at all..my lips were totally red..after which, i can feel spicyness in my stomach..now is 2 hours of my dinner and i can still feel the spicyness in my stomach despite that i have drank lots of plain water..it doesn't seems to help..when i go for "small business" i can feel the hot and spicy in it too..don't know how it will be when it is totally digested tomorrow..in summary, it was an extremely spicy & terrible dinner i ever had... =(

Was pretty busy recently so didn't really blog...anyway, just a short update..was at e2i..for the first time, we did screening outside..went to ntuc centre at one marina boulevard..it was my first time there too..haven been returning there for quite sometime ever since i left coffee club..it changed..many things over changed..even the passage way were different already..the atmosphere of the screening place was not bad..the view was nice..can see marina bay sands literally and the floating platform..then i realised that people staying at marina sands hotel can actually view the national day parade without having to squeeze with public and can relax at their own room...

the right view..
there will be a new show on tv channel u on friday's evening - Death Note..then i realised that if i missed my show at 5pm, i gotta stay up till 2am to watch its repeat instead of the usual 1am..which means i can only sleep after 3am..so guess i better try not to miss any of my show on fridays if not, it will be a struggling to stay up till 2am..
yesterday, i went to look for cakes for my cousin's coming 21st birthday this weekend as i promised to get one for him..there are quite a number of bakery at northpoint so i can afford to look around before deciding on where to buy from..was shortlisting prima deli, polar cakes & puff and four leaves..find that prima deli not bad, just that maybe the outlook of the cake not as nice, polar cake also not bad but afraid that the size may be too small..then when i went to four leaves, deciding which chocolate cake is better, the sales girl came and asked "which cake you want to order?" and i replied "let me take a look first." then she gave me a kind of look and just turned back with an attitude as though like i'm wasting here time. she didn't even serve or explain anything to me..actually i was quite keen on their cakes as i think it is bigger and is most likely the type of chocolate cake i'm looking for but because of her attitude and service, i left for polar cakes instead...too bad, they lost my business just because of that sales girl..hahaha!

Assisted in cooking..amazingly, my mum and i thought of a few dishes that we would like to eat but not sure if the ingredients are available in the market as sometimes you might not be able to all those ingredients as you planned on what to cook, it all depends on what the vendors have to sell..so we thought of a few dishes..in the end, we happened to see most of the ingredients for those dishes we thought of so my mum decided to buy them all...hence, we ended up buying ingredients that are enough for us to eat for almost the whole of next week..fantastic!! at least we don't have to trouble on what to buy for next few days' dinner since we both will be working.. although we will need to cook, it's still better than having to decide what for buy for dinner everyday and it is also healthier to eat home-cooked food..it is cleaner and without MSG...after we prepare and cook today's dishes, it is already close to 4pm..supposedly to have lunch and dinner..end up, we have late lunch and probably will still have dinner later but at slight later timing..luckily we didn't really eat too full for lunch..

Met up with my grandmother today..brought her for a meal and roam around..since i'm free so just thought of meeting her up whenever i can..she had also spent some efforts in taking care of me when i was still a kid..now that we have all grown up, we also seldom meet her and some more she lives with my uncle and at times claimed that she's quite lonely and boring...we then went tampines, had lunch with her and had coffee at ya kun..then something happened..as we were on our way walking from mrt to tampines mall, i was injured..it was a open space area and don't know what dropped from the above and it hit my arm..at that time, i felt a sharp pain instantly and also heard some noise like something hit the bicycle that was beside me..then, i realised that the thing that hit me cut my arm, the skin torn and bleed a little..my reaction was "what the hell...what was it that fell off from above...my hand....". it was like i didn't even do anything and was merely just walking along the street and then got injured..then, i suspect that it could be a branch that fell of from the tree or so and i'm just so happened to be walking pass it, as there is nothing else above us so couldn't think of what it was...well, this proves that accident do happen when it wants..probably this is an incident fated for me to go through today..or maybe like what my grandma says: "maybe i did something wrong to the tree in my previous life and now it's my turn to repay back." hahaha! but it is really stupid and unbelievable incident...

Since quite a long time i have been to vivocity..ever since i left sentosa, not many chances will i travel all the way there..because of this, think dropby there once in a awhile is not a bad idea..met up with km..watched movie and took a scroll there..watched "the message"..it was the first movie that we both didn't know what was it about and neither have we watch its trailer nor read its description before..all i know was it is a movie in mandarin..afterall, it was a not bad movie..thriller kind..the movie makes you think as the story progress..you will start to think who is involve and also guess what the ending of show..not too bad..but i find some scenes quite disgusting and cruel..they have some human torturing scenes..can be disgusting at times especially if you are the kind of imaginative person like myself...
after which, we just scroll around the malls...realised that there is ship that was opened to public..it actually held a book fair on the ship where people can just board on the ship and read or find all kinds of books...quite interesting..from the outside, i saw shelves of books in the ship..quite amazing though it is a stagnant ship that won't depart..hahaha!

Currently is 2am...actually wanted to update blog earlier, meaning when it was still saturday..anyway, in fact, i still can consider now as saturday right..hahaha!! finally got to collect my stuff from the person that was mentioned in my previous entry..just basically went there, take and go..such a simple and easy task, i also don't know have to drag till now..went to bishan earlier, played arcade..as usual, attempted to win some bears from those bears catching machines..saw a machine that has super big size taz mania..it attracted my attention and intention to play it as my bro ever said in joking manner to buy him that bear..so thought if i can catch it with little amount of money, think he will be happy and surprised..we saw it before in store, selling at around $59..hence, if it is able to catch it at a few bucks, why not right..so tried my luck, spent about $4 bucks on it but didn't catch so gave up..km even more greedy..he played a machine that has the biggest bear on the case in the whole arcade..however, guess it just wasn't our luck, we didn't manage to catch any..but enjoyed the process of it..

Super angry this morning...if i had a basketball and was at the basketball court, i would have slamed the ball to the board..can imagine how angry and frustrated i was...this is the 5th time that i was being "fly aeroplane" by the person i'm supposed to meet in order to collect some stuff..what so hard about collecting some stuff? it just requires a tiny bit of time and i can be pushed away
5 times...and what's worst was that i was only being told about the change of appointment when i'm all ready and about to leave my house...i did all my preparations just for it then i was already outside on my way to take train and i was told to change to another date...i was supposed to work at e2i at a later timing of the day..so i specially woke up early, dressed up and all, thinking that i finally can get to collect my things, then it changed AGAIN!!! furthermore, i'm already out of my house...made me like an idiot to walk a big round from my house to mrt and return back to my house again..it was very hot this morning, it wasn't fun at all to walk here and there for nothing..i felt like an idiot..wasting my time and effort..then what for did i woke up early this morning..i could have jolly well sleep in till later time, relax myself and take my own sweet time to prepare myself for work in the noon..at that point of time, i'm super extremely angry..if there's a boxing machine that we usually see in the arcade front of me at that time, i think i will be able to hit and get a score of at least 800+ to 900 points...
after work, went home..thought of getting dinner while on the way back but couldn't decide what to have..everyday think of the same question..just simply don't know what to eat and also don't have any cravings so eventually decided to make my own spaghetti for dinner..ended up, the spaghetti sauce i have spoilt even though it was not expired yet..also don't know why it will turned bad as i kept it in the fridge..then as my noodles are already halfway cooked so no choice but just to have plain spaghetti with crabmeat sticks and a canned of vegetables..haiz..maybe today is just simply not my day...

Hate this kind of feelings..kept being "fly aeroplane" and delayed..was supposed to go somewhere to get some stuff since early this week, then it was pushed to mid of the week..then changed to a day later..den changed again to another day later..initially, it was supposed to be ready about 1-2 months ago..then was told to wait for a week and a week and another week... so many delays, don't even know when will be the certain date that i can get my stuff..because of this, i ended up staying at home today, spoilt my plan..stayed at home, washed clothes then worst of all is that, don't know whether was it me or my mum who forgot to remove some sort of paper or tissue paper from the clothes' pocket and it shredded and stained on all clothes..i tried very hard to clear and also rinsed them many times but don't seems to help..haiz...to worsen the day was...i cooked herbal tea and scooped a cup of it and placed it on the kitchen table to cool it as well as to drink it as and when i want to..never did i know that ants were attack it that fast even though i didn't really put much sugar while cooking it..what's worst was that, as i came out from my room, i just grab my cup and drank a mouthful of it then i realised that there was several tiny ants on it already..my reaction was like...yucks..super disgusting...i quickly threw out the mouth of it that i haven't swollow..but the thing was i already swollowed a mouth of it before i came to realise there's ants..don't even know if i swollowed the ants too..oh my god!!!! it's totally disgusting....the only thing i can do was to drink down more plain water, hope that it will help to clear if i really did drank down the ants...argh!!! don't want to think about...

Spent almost whole day doing household chores..clearing up some areas in the kitchen, mopped floor, cleaned the bathroom, etc..don't know why, just had the feeling of doing some household chores today..so spent the whole afternoon doing cleaning..quite satisfied upon completing it and feel the results..nice~! after some hard work, then can relax myself and reward myself..by evening, just sit down, watch tv and relax..sometimes, i just don't feel like doing anything..but if i want, a day can be spent fruitfully too.. =)

Am i a kind soul?? as i opened my letter box earlier this evening, there was a letter which seems weird to me and i realised that it does not belongs to any of my family members..it was printed with another unit number..guess probably the postman slotted in the letter too fast and inserted it wrongly to my letter box instead..upon looking clearly at the unit number, it was not near my house's section though it's on the same storey..(if those don't know, my house's level is divided into 2 sections of 6 units each..) meaning, if the unit is not at my section, one has to take the lift the serves the section instead of the one i usually take unless we walk across 11 storey which links all units..therefore, at first, i tried to see if i can insert the letter into the correct unit, yet, as theirs is locked at the opening, i can't put it in..then, i thought of slotting it into the "returned mail" letter box...but thinking about it, it's not that the letter was to the wrong person with the correct unit number..it's just that it was inserted into the wrong letter box..so i took the trouble to take lift up to level 11, walked across to another section, climbed the stairs up and became literally a postman to deliver the letter straight to the unit stated according to the letter..this was the first time after almost a year that i climbed the stairs again from 11 storey back to my house's storey even though there's lift that serves me directly to my desired level..well, though it took me an extra 5 minutes to do that, i felt that i did something good..accumulating some good deeds..hahaha!

Congratulations!!! it was one of my ex secondary schoolmate cum basketball player cum sister's wedding last night..it was held at hilton hotel for her wedding dinner...in the past, we addressed ourselves as 4 sisters where she's the youngest among us..now, she got married and is the first of the 4 of us..felt so happy for her..i attended her dinner and during it, i can feel the happiness of her marriage..see her so happy and very blissful...i believe many people there will also feel the same way..if you are not married, you may even be influenced and have the urge to get married too..but not so much for me though i really felt the blissful between them and really happy for her when seeing her on stage cutting the wedding cake, toasting and giving speech... time really flies..it felt as though it was yesterday that we were still on the basketball court playing matches and now she got married..to really count, we knew each other for about 10 years since we were in choir and played basketball..a decade of friendship..can't deny that we have all grown up so fast..
her gowns for the dinner were very nice and she's totally gorgeous..especially when she changed into a bright red dinner gown..i felt that it was special as seldom people will choose such a bright colour..the dinner started quite late around 8+ towards 9pm as i think many guests arrived late too so eventually it ended after 11pm...saw how tired the bride was after a whole of day of activity and in preparation for everything..she told me that she didn't sleep at all the previous night..pity her..hope she could get enough rest today...wish her all the best in her marriage life and lead a sweet and loving new chapter with her hubby..i know he will take very good care of her.. =)
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Terrance & Veron Wong!!!
