Welcome to the housing liability club!!

I hereby declare that me & Mr Benny officially own a house NOW!!


Or at least its a option to get a house.. It was such a happy occassion apart from me having a fever for the previous 2 days & taking MC on the actual day when we were supposed to go & choose our unit.. What a spoiler.. :(

The days counting down to the actual day for us to go to HDB hub to choose the unit were really unbearable.. Checking out the HDB portal to monitor the take up rate of the estate, to see whether my preferred unit was being chosen makes the wait even more exciting.. I will feel super happy every time when I saw my preferred block & unit was available after every appt prior to mine...


We did not manage to get our first choice cause we were really quite behind the queue.. Even if the take up rate is less den 2/3, our preferred block & units were taken up pretty fast..  2 days before my appt date, ( if i dun rem wrongly ), my hope was dashed cause the only available high level unit of my preferred block was being taken.. I was super duper upset... :(

By the time it was our turn to choose, the highest level left for our preferred block has only level 7 left but we are not keen to take that unit.. Thus we chose another block with a higher level.... It was really quite a dilemma for me to choose that unit... But I was really happy to secured a flat... :)


In another 3-4 years' time, I will be able to get my unit.. It is time to start looking for ideas to decorate my new house.. It's going to be a very difficult task but a task which I will gladly take up..

Short Weekend Getaway @ Hard Rock

Whoohoo~~ Thanks to Mummy, we had a chance to go to the Hard Rock RWS over the weekend.. I went straight to RWS to pick up Mummy for dinner at a Zhi Char place near Benny's house.. Their salted egg crab and Yu Tou Lu are really nice..


Went back to the hotel after dinner.. The room is really big.. But cause my sis's frenz were there too, I decided to go to Benny's place to stay for the night before going over the next day to check into our room..


The next morning, we woke up around 830am cause we wanna go to see the dermatologist at West Coast which open at 9am.. This is the first time we woke up so early apart from going to the airport to catch our flight.. Haha..


We reached West Coast Plaza at 9am sharp and was surprised to see only 2 pax in front of us..
( The clinic is really quite famous and from the forum, there are times when there are queue outside the clinic before 8am.. ) The previous time when I came, I waited for almost 2 hours when I reached at 730pm to get the queue no. ( FYI, the clinic open at 7pm in the evening )


Was damn happy to be able to see the doctor before 930am.. This time round, alot more skincare were added into my regime.. Every time I wash my face, there will be at least 6 products I need to apply on my face.. :P This month alone, I had spent $300 on the skincare and consultation.. ( Heart damn pain k?? ) Well, as long as it works and my face can be zit &mark-free.. :)


We went to IMM after having our brekkie.. It's the 1st time we went shopping before 11am.. I did some shopping for my D&D deco..

We went to Hard Rock and took some photos while waiting for Mummy @ the lobby.. 


Our room is at the other side of the hotel.. It is smaller as compared to Mummy's room.. There you go~~
The bathroom is really nice.. :P


The pool view from our room.. 

Nua in the room until dinner time.. Din go down to swim at the lovely pool cause the weather is SUPER hot!! And the room seems like a much nicer place to relax & laze around.. haha..

We had international buffet for dinner @ the restaurant at our hotel.. The standard of their food is much better than before and they increased their variety too.. After dinner, we went back to my room & rest.. 


Took some photos in the room.....

 Playing with the guitar decoration..


We went down for a walk after that.. There are quite a no. of new shops around.. Was fascinated by the TALL x'mas tree & the Candy Tree outside Candylicious.. 
 Exploring my new S95 in Vivid Mode.. I love the colors!!

 Normal Mode..

With the M&Ms.. 

 Huge Candy Hamper!!

 X'mas is round the corner~~

 Jelly Beans~~


Time to get a sweet tooth~~

 Where is Mr Mah??


Everyone looks like a kid here..


OK, move on to another mood.. X'mas!!! How I love X'mas cause it is a season to SPEND!! opps~~ haha

The X'mas tree looks so nice.. But why most of the X'mas tree i saw is blue in color??? Well, don't care, as long as it looks nice can le.. :P



Back to the hotel to retire for the night.. Woke up the next morning at 930am.. But was too lazy to go down & swim.. In addition, NO ONE wants to go swim with me... Sad max~~

Check out at 12 & went to Holland V for lunch.. Had dim sum & porridge.. Yeah.. I miss dim sum!! Well, I miss alot of food.. haha.. 


It is a wonderful getaway.. Being able to relax without traveling out of Singapore.. No jams at the causeway, no sea-sickness while taking a ferry and personally I dun think it is as rush as you are overseas and trying to catch the transport back to Singapore.. I love weekend getaway!!

Summary~~

It has been another month since I last updated.. Alot of things had happened but I am just so lazy to blog about it..

I came back from Phuket for almost a month.. AND tiger airway still haven returned me my money.. Really damn pissed off with them cause it has been almost 2 months since they cancelled my flight.. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO PAY ME BACK!!

ok, let's talk about something happier.. It was not exactly a relaxing trip as I tot it would be cause I need to plan all the things & itinerary for my family.. The hotel we stayed is near the Bangla Road & shopping centre, everything turned out quite well though.. The bonus is, Benny managed to join me in the end cause of his leave schedule.. :)


Apart from that, the next BIG thing is....... I got my flat!! I got my queue no. for the Woodlands BTO.. I AM SO SO HAPPY!! Even though it means I wont be able to leave Woodlands for another 10 more years.. BUT i dun really mind.. No doubt, it might be even better if I can have a change or environment by living in another estate but well, it is not as if Woodlands is a very bad place apart from the distance to town.. By this time, after staying in Woodlands for more than 18 years, even before the train system was up.. I am quite used to it already.. :P
Moreover, the issue was really pressing for me & Benny cause of the difficulty in getting a BTO now and also because we are not sure of how the 8k income ceiling thingy is being calculated.. Better be safe than sorry.. So when we got the flat after 5 tries, 3 being unsuccessful and the other one still pending.. It is really a load off our mind.. :) Am awaiting for the brochure and the scheduled time to go down & choose our unit..

I also met up with qincheng & billy quite often these days.. Went to billy's place for MJ, meeting both of em for dinner, going out with billy & shan for movie and going out with the for KTV.. hehe..

Was having a discussion session with the gals for Anna's wedding.. She is going to have her wedding dinner in Jan next year.. Gonna be on a weekday, hope will be able to get leave on that day.. :)

Mery will be coming back at the start of Dec soon.. Hope will be able to meet up with her.. When she was back the other time, we did not have a chance to go out at all.. Only met up with her for a few hours cause of her sisters' wedding gown preview at her place and that's it.. :P

Dec is round the corner, meaning X'mas is coming soon.. Looking forward to the company D&D, the anniversary celebration, the annual X'mas party @ Shu's place & the preparation for new year eve.. I cant believe how fast time passes by... OMG!!

KL adventure 2010~~

It has been almost one year since our KL adventure.. It is time to go for another one before the year end.. For Mau, it might also be his last road trip with us.. :P 


Alot of things happened before the trip, alot of changes, alot of problems.. But in the end, everything was resolved.. Me, Mau & Liyuan went to Kallang to collect our Trajet before meeting Ida & Benny.. We went to Havelock there for the super ex, Teochew porridge before heading to pick up Chris @ her place.. Went to Mau's place to park his car then to Daron's one, and lastly mine to pick up my lugguage & passport.. :P


By the time we reach the S'pore custom, it was around 1145pm!!  


 Our full force excluding the camera woman aka me.. :(



We finally hit the NS Highway around 1230am.. After 1 hours of driving, the chit-chatting gets softer n softer, what was left were some snoring.... hehe.. 
Let's guess who is the culprit??



We reached our first pit stop around 2am.. By that time, most of us were hungry.. It's time for food and some stretching!!
Finally it is time for smoking break.. 

Erm, what is happening here?


 Chris : What are we waiting for? I am hungry man.... 

We were eating like nobody business, mee soto, fried chicken, mee goreng, some beef balls noodles etc etc... No one remember about their dieting programme.. hehe.. We hit the road at around 3am.. Daron was driving this time round.. I fell aslp and by the time I woke up, we already pass the toll and was heading towards Genting.. 



The 2nd pit stop where we pump the petrol and did some rotations..
 Why does Ida look so grouchy here?? And where are the others??? 

Well they are............
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
HERE!!!


SLEEPING!!

We hit the road, excited cause in another 1.5 hours' time, we will be able to reach Genting, enjoying the cool breeze and eating the prata... Little did we know.......


The car OVERHEAT the moment we pass the guard house, which is less than 1/4 way up the hill!! :~~(
 Stopping by the roadside.. Everywhere is pitch black except for the lights from our car.. 

 Mau : Siao liao... Why everytime will have problem??

 Benny: Chill Bro, let's enjoy the moment.. Everything will be ok one.. 

 Opps.. Dun take pictures of me.. I look damn CUI!!

The only time when Liyuan is contributing.. Helping to fan the engine to cool it down.. BUT he give up after a min.. 


We decide to U-turn back to the nearest petrol kiosk.. It is quite dangerous to stay by the side of the road.. We got into the car, at this moment, Mau suddenly said.. I cant start the engine, I think the battery got drained off... OMG, everyone was damn sianz when we heard that, cause we need someone to jump start the batt for us.. But under that condition, who will stop for us!!!

Luckily, it was jus a scare la.. He cannot start the engine because he did not change his gear to neutral la.. Everyone started scolding him.. Walau, he really gave us the scare of our life man!!


Everything went well on the way down to the petrol kiosk.. :P

Deciding what to do? Shall we abandon the trip to genting or shall we wait for the car to cool down first and try again??


Well, in the end.... We make a decision.. Those who want to go genting can take a cab up while the others who do not wish to go can go to KL instead.. Then we shall meet in the noon in KL to shop etc...



In the end, only me, Benny, Mau, Liyuan & Ida went up to Genting in a small car.. The others went to KL straight.. We managed to reach Genting around 8.. We went to the Casino.. It was really quiet for a Sat morning.. We played until 9 plus before heading down to Old Town for our breakfast.. 


 Deciding what to have for breakkie.. 

 Calling the others to decide what time to meet.. 

Were really quite disappointed.. 1stly, it was because the weather this time round was really HOT!! Totally no fog and mist and the sun is shining brightly!!! 2ndly, it was because of the food at Old Town.. OMG, it was bad.. No toast, no omega eggs and the signature hor fun was totally out of standard.. The soup is bland, there is not much meat and prawn and the hor fun taste horrible!!! 


We went back to the Casino and played for another hour before deciding to leave for KL.. A finale picture at the main Lobby.. 
The 5 gamblers who die die want to go up to Genting, even if its jus for 3-4 hours.. :P


We took a cab down to KL, spending RM200 in total just for a 3 hour session up to Genting.. Met the others @ Sungei Wang for massage.. The massage was really good, esp after a long night ride.. We went to Sungei Wang shopping centre to get Famous Amos cookies.. Din do any shopping, too tired to even think of shopping.. ( Yeah, that is how tired we are!! ) 


We went back to our hotel, bath & knocked out all the way until 9pm.. Still feeling damn seh.. I dun mind slping all the way until the next morning.. :P But we still have to meet Seb @ Jalan Alor for dinner before heading to Zouk.. Him & Hel has come to KL specially to club with us so cannot pang seh them.. 




We reached Alor @ 10pm.. Ordered a table full of food.. Had been having this prawn soup craving for almost a year and was damn disappointed cause the standard DROP tremendously.. :( Nth to look forward to anymore man.. We finished our meal at 1130pm & took a cab down to Zouk.. Went to Velvet where the others had settled down.. 




It was really fun.. Everyone was really high & we kept taking photos with the SCB model aka liyuan.. hehe.. I love the music in KL zouk.. Totally my cup of tea man.. But the thing is I was really tired after a long day.. Around 2am, me & Benny left the club & walk back to the hotel to rest.. The others came back around 3am.. Concussed the moment I hit the bed.. 




The next morning, we woke up at 10am.. Time to pack up and home sweet home.. :( Still feeling quite tired after a long day yesterday.. 



We check out at 1130 & drove around looking for food.. Wanted to go eat Bak Kut Teh but in the end, we ended up at the famous Black Char Siew restaurant, Overseas.. I duno what the hype is about on this black Char Siew but because of the reviews I heard from others, I had really high expectations of it.. But, I dun really think that it is anything our of the world lo.. ( Well, this is just my personal preference.. ) I still prefer the one at the chicken rice stall near Sungei Wang, its tender but not so fatty.. 





Our bills comes up to RM600 for a lunch with 6 dishes.. Well, the RM600 bill is inclusive of the RM200 of Char Siew we dabao back.. ( Yeah RM200 just on Char Siew, I think we are really suckers man.. ) Apart from that, RM 150 is on the Cod fish.. Walau, speechless... We are really there to boost the economy.. 




After a 'sumptuous' lunch, it is time to set off.. We bought Doughnuts at Times Square while on the way to the Highway.. Reached JB at 5 plus & we went to City Square cause Ida want to get her Skinfood while Liyuan wants to get contact lenses.. After we were done with our shopping, we went to Da Ma Hua Yuan for Seafood dinner.. 


Again, we ordered a table full of food.. We are going to gain at least 2kg from this trip man!! Din go for the massage as we thought there might be a jam along the causeway.. But to our surprise, there was no jam @ all.. We cross the causeway in 15 min & I reached my place at 9pm.. whoohoo, damn early lo.. 


It is yet another exciting trip with the survivors gang.. :P

Trips~~

It is finalised.. Will be going on a roadtrip to Genting & KL this coming weekend with my ex-colleagues.. Will be painting the town red man.. hehe.. It had been almost a year since our previous roadtrip.. The previous one was really crazy & fun.. This time round, more ppl are in.. Benny will be joining us together with Chris.. Seb & Hel will be joining us there on Sat.. Looking forward to the roadtrip.. :P


In another 2 more weeks, I will be heading to Phuket with my family!! Another relaxation trip.. Looking forward to reading a book, enjoying the sun with a cocktail in my hair along the beach.. Hope the weather will be superb.. Wondering should we go for the island trip.. The previous experience I had was really bad.. :( Erm, it is time to go to the Library & borrow the travel guide for Phuket.. hehe...


Just came back from dinner with Benny.. Was having my facial after work.. He came to fetch me & we went to Republic of Steak for dinner.. :) Was really happy with regards to the news he told me.. Will tell you guys what it is about when the time ripe.. 


Started my collagen regime yesterday.. Hope it will help to close up my pore, prevent more breakouts & most importantly, make my acne marks lighten & make my skin more radiant.. It is going to be a long term maintenance thing if it really works for me.. What to do?? Woman are afraid of getting old, even if we are going ( WHICH we all do!! ), we have to grow old beautifully & gracefully man!!

Lack of updates once again~~

It has been close to a month since I last updated my blog.. Work is as usual for me but quite alot of things happened in my office.. Went out for a outing with my colleagues @ this Argentina restaurant called Salta @ the Icon Village.. OMG, the steak is fantastic.. The sides & sausages are superb too!! It is really a must try for meatlovers.. :P The most impt thing, the food is really affordable.. Will definitely be going there again.. :P


As for me & benny, we are back to normal.. Going out on weekend & once on weekday, enjoying each others company.. We went to La Maison on Fri together with Micho, Seb, Helene, Veron, Amy & one of their frenz.. First time there & I think it will be my last also.. The place is really inaccessible without a car and for me, I think it is too secluded.. But I mus said, it is really different from the usual club I went to..

Apart from going to club in such a long time, we also went to take a look at the new ECs at Buangkok called Esparina.. Well, it is the 1st ECs after 5 years.. Very nice concepts & very nice location.. We were really tempted to get it but.......... NO MONEY!! Looking at the average 3 bedroom, it will cost around 800k, meaning we will have to pay 160k in the next 6 weeks if we were to get the place.. Minus all the grants, cpf etc, we will need to fork out at least 100k in cash... I really wonder how ppl can fork out so much money!!


I was quite depressed.. Looking at the hdb, we are about to hit our income cap of 8k in the near future.. Meaning we wont be able to get a hdb from the govt cause even if now, our combined income is less den 8k, but as long as it exceed during TOP, you will be forfeited the chance.. So next best options, ECs & DBSS which is having a 10k income.. But look at those recent DBSS & ECs, with a selling price of between 600-1.1m, how are we able to fork out that amount of cash at this age, with our combined income of 10k MAX..

Some ppl might say, how about resale.. Yeah.. Look at the crazy COVs of resale flat these days.. Easily coming up to 70k.. We will still have to fork out 70k cash other than the valuation amount of the flat.. What is the difference of getting a EC and a resale since we need to fork out a sum which is almost equivalent to one another.. We are really the SCREWED generation.. With no chance of us to make it big & neither chance to be beggar.. The sandwiched class.........


Inflations is hitting us with prices escalating exponentially.. Looking at my bank book, I wonder where has all my money gone to during the 2 years of my work.. Seems like I din save much over the past 2 years.. Ever since I started my new job, I had been monitoring what am I spending on & keeping track of that.. Every month, the spending will come to almost 1k plus & that is excluding those bills that are fixed.. I am jus spending as per normal, on food, sometimes on clothes.. JUST WHERE HAS MY MONEY GONE TO!!


Another issues that happened was, I was supposed to go Krabi with Chris, Ida, Pat & Curt.. But our flight got pushed backwards, meaning we have to stay there for 1 week, instead of the original 5 days.. We cancelled the flight and hotel in the end.. I am still awaiting for the refund of my flight & hotel..


In the end, I decide to go Phuket with my mum instead.. Will be going there for 4 days with my sis, my bro & my mum.. The air ticket is really cheap, $98 per pax & hotel for 3 night only costs us $300 max for a family room.. Probably because its still the non-peak season when we go there.. For those who want to go there in Jan, the ticket is only $58 for return but pls be prepared to pay 3x more for the hotel due to the peak season.. :P


Looking forward to the Phuket trip with my family, the KL trip with my ex-colleage ( if it materialise ) & the BBK trip with benny in Feb.. OK, that seems really long.. haha.. Well, was thinking of having a philippines trip with Micho to visit my colleagues in Manila but I think we have to shelf this plan cause we are really short-handed at the moment.. :P


Meanwhile, I am having this dilemma, should I get a camera for this upcoming trip.. Had been wanting to get a new camera, one with better image quality & sophisticated functions than the one I had for quite some time.. Went to check out the cameras with Carlos last Fri @ Funan.. Was really tempted to get the s95 on the spot man.. But mus work out my finance first, really quite tight for this month.. :(


Monday, September 20, 2010

Had a really bad quarrel with Benny last Fri.. It has been a long long time since we last quarreled until so bad.. We nearly broke up.. Had a nice talk out & everything seems back to normal now.. But is that really the case?? Is everything back to the same before the quarrel start?

Just felt that things has changed..

Monday, September 13, 2010

Weekend seems really precious, esp after I started working.. You will notice the vast difference between weekend & weekdays now cause unlike the past, you dun have all the time to yourself.. Now, blogging seems like a luxury to me cause after work, I will be too tired to blog about wat is happening to me each day.. I will try to blog once a week as a summary now.. IF time allows, I will blog more den..


Had a mild food poisoning last week.. After having this mini-steamboat thingy with my mum.. I am the only one with the Kim Chi pot, maybe that is the reason why Benny & my Mum are fine..


Finally had a meet-up with the gals, Anna & Shaoyun, to celebrate Anna's birthday that lies on 12 aug.. ;P We were either too busy with work or other stuffs, it is so hard for us to be free on the same night, esp now Anna has changed her job.. It is uncertain whether she needs to stay for OT or not..

We went to CWP to have dinner.. Mus thx the gal for agreeing to meet at CWP cause of my conditions.. ( Dun wish to travel after dinner & squeeze with the crowd back home ) We had Japanese food & catch up with one another.. Finally got to know the story behind Shao Yun's proposal & the marriage life of Anna.. Too bad it is a weekday, if not we can stay out later & catch up more with one another..


Finally, weekend is here.. Met up with Qin Cheng on Fri.. Was supposed to meet for KTV at Katong but in the end, it was cancelled.. We met at Vivo for dinner, did some catching up & met his frenz.. After that, I went to meet, Helene, Seb & Chris @ CQ.. Went there for SheeSha.. ;p We din stayed there for long, feeling tired after a long week at work..


Benny came over to pick me & we went back to his place.. The next morning, we woke up early to have brekkie @ Cafe Cartel.. It's been so long since we last went there for brekkie.. We did not ordered alot but we felt really full after the meal..


Came back to my place to get my passport b4 heading to JB.. Going in to check out our car, ever since we change the absorber, the cranking sound is still there, so it is better to do a check.. I never expect it to be so long, i waited there doing nth for 2 hours & that is excluding the time we went to eat the Ba Kut Teh nearby..


 Finally, everything was done.. Was shocked to know the cost of the repair @ the end of the session.. I duno if it is expensive or what, but its just not what we expect the bill to come up to.. So we were both abit sianz.. We got to know about the workshop from an online forum, stating that it is honest & such.. Like what I said, I really duno the range for the work involved, so there is nth I can comment.. Just one thing to note, check the prices with carefully with the vendor before anything is done.. This doesnt jus apply to cars but on all aspescts.. Like the dinner we had along the Food Street near City Square, I felt ripped off once again when I ordered the Stingray & Sambal Sotong.. They just give me some weird weird parts & charge me higher price for it..

We went back home quite early that day as we were broke from the repair.. :P Was surprised cause totally no jam at the causeway during the peak hours ( 9pm - 12am ) I reached home around 10 plus.. Bought a new moisturiser from faceshop, hope it will help me do something good to my face.. It's damn cui these days..

Sunday, is family day.. Well, to certain point it is.. It was drizzling, so benny went to have porridge with us @ Chinatown.. We had an argument in between and I think it is better for me to leave him alone for the day.. I sent him home.. I send my mum to RWS to collect her mooncake before sending her to my grandma's place.. There was this 7th month bai bai thingy happening there.. Guess this will also be the last time it is happening..
( Long story.... )

I went to Bugis with my sis to shop.. I think this is the first time I went shopping with my sis alone.. Quite fun.. I missed shopping with gals.. You have someone to discuss with you, giving comments & you no need to scare that she wasnt enjoying herself.. ( Most gals love shopping !! )

We went to this Japanese Cafe @ Bugis Junction & ordered this Curry Katsu Omu Rice.. OMG, its yummiliciou!! Continue our shopping after that.. Was browsing at SK jewellery & duno why, I end up buying a necklace for my mum.. haha.. Mus be the salesperson & my sis...


On the way to the car, we came across this pasat malam @ Arab Street...

Testing out the new apps on my iphone..

Wanted to pick up my mum at my granny's place after that.. But she wanted to go to my cousin's place @ Duxton to take a look.. We all went in the end, how I wish I own a place there.. Superb location with a superb sky garden view.. Though the room is really small but I quite like the layout of the living room, it is not those rectangular type..

We went to Leisure Mall Thai Village to have our dinner.. Mummy has been having a craving for it since like a mth ago.. Finally has a chance to fulfill her cravings.. After ordering the food, it's gift time!!

Opening her gift..

Taking a closer look..

Ta-dah.. There the necklace goes.. On the neck of her new owner.. :P

Went to pick up Benny after that.. He needs the car for work tml & he is going for his poker game at a frenz house also..

How the week goes..




I just did a posting on fb marketplace to sell my pair of shoes from korea.. Jus picked it up from shu's on wed, after 1 mth of storage at her place.. We were both too busy to meet up for the past 1 mth..
Went out with Benny on Wed, to 'celebrate' our 20th mth anniversary.. ( We dun celebrate our anniversary every mth, it's jus a simple night out to have dinner.. ) It is more of like a 2-in-1 thing, cause I just got confirmed for my job.. It really came as a shock cause I am only working there for 2 mths.. I am really grateful & happy when my boss informed me about it cause I can plan for my holiday now!! YEAH~~

We went to Holland Village for dinner.. Settled at Breeko after walking around.. Had their set dinner.. Both of us ordered the same thing, steak.. Well, should have gone for Les Bouchons
@ Robertson Quay.. I had been having cravings for their steak for quite some time, but it is out of the way for Benny if he need to send me home after that.. Travelling up & down...

Watching the replay of EPL while waiting for the food..

The steak which is both medium rare & medium depending on the parts u are eating @ that time..

Camwhoring with my lomography feature on iphone..

On Fri, I met Chris for dinner b4 meeting Benny, who was having their Co. event at Turf Club.. Went home straight after fetching him as I am having a terrible headache.. What a thing to happen on a Fri night.. :(

Went to the NATAS travel fair yesterday.. Mummy were supposed to go with us one but were deterred after I told her that we need to pay for the entrance & the crowd will be crazy, judging from past trends.. In the end, just me & Benny went to the fair @ Expo.. We went to Ikea @ Tampines to have our lunch first b4 heading down.. I love their meatballs, the chicken wings & their salmon.. OMG!!

I was surprised that when we reached Expo, it wasnt as crowded as what I imagined it to be.. No doubt the carpark was full but at least it is still walkable.. Maybe I went there in the late afternoon, most ppl already went there early morning to book for their tour..

Brazil booth..
Australia booth..


I wanted to go there to check out the tour for Korea.. Wanted to go there at the end of the year.. I was overwhelmed by the informations of the tour & the pricing.. There are so many different packages around & their price can differ quite abit..


I am quite interested in what Dynasty Travel is offering, maybe it is because the salesperson takes her time to explain to me & show me pictures on what we will be doing there.. They also have this Ice-Fishing thingy which will only happen between 15 Jan to End Feb if i am not wrong.. This is not available in the other packages.. Well, good service & special experience will normally comes with a high price.. The whole tour will cost about 2k per pax, unlike the others we seen which cost between 1.5k - 1.8k..


By the time we are done with the fair, its close to 930.. Finally can have our dinner.. We went to the Old Town Cafe @ ECP.. Had their prawn hor fun that taste damn spicy!!


Slp until late in the noon & miss out the chance for a Sunday Brunch.. Went to Central to have our lunch @ Manhattan Fish Market before going to Bugis to tabao my fav desserts.. :P


It is another weekend which I dun do much things but totally enjoyed what I am doing..
