3 Little Updates


Our 1st Little India Dinner

Had our first dinner @ Little India last Friday (behind our flat - along Race Course Road) with another couple friend. A good whole 9 months ever since we moved in last July/Aug. A hilarious experience we had! The Indian waiter can't even understand simple English instructions, and nudged his colleague to help him. Then tryin to be ge-kiang, he started to tell us that the stir-fried seafood mee goreng has 2 prawns, blah blah blah...I stopped him "Excuse me, I do not need you to tell me what is inside the mee goreng, I just want to order the dish!" Then I duno whether did he understand me or not, anyway he stopped explaining to me and orders were taken, with the help of 3 other colleagues!! Can you imagine the 4 of us being served by 4 waiters altogether at the same time?? Wow, good service isn't it? 1-is-to-1. haha...Stupid!
Anyway, the food is ok. Dear was perspiring profusely thou...spicy food not one of his favourite
My Chicken Dum Briyani

My 1st time driving on the road

Duno if I was suay or wat, kena the same instructor whom I dun really like...However he was the 1st one to bring me out to the main road for driving! Woohoo!!! I can't believe that I have already progressed to driving on the road..As I wasn't aware that I can drive on the main road so fast, sorry to drivers along Yio Chu Kang and Ang Mo Kio area, I din have time to warn you guys to siam that area on that day..hee...but everyone "escaped" unhurt and undead...good rite? Only got honked by a driver who finds me very slow, and "threatened by a bus driver who is turning out from the minor road while I am drivin on the main road". But thanks to this instructor of mine, he ensured me that it is ok, and assured me along the way...

Got a change of impression of him by fate.

Think I kena got addicted to driving...Quite fun leh...

Our new Car Fantasy



Have been looking around for cars recently, thou not buying it soon, and this is our recent Car Fantasy - Honda Jazz.
A sporty looking car. Now have to depend on when would I get my license, and whether we have sufficient earnings/savings to support this additional burden..
* Should I decorate into a Winnie the Pooh Car? Muhaha...Think this will scare off my hubby hor?

Trip to Dragonfruit Farm & Qianhu Fish Farm (Fish Spa Treat)




Another of our couple pasttime activity - Excursion trip with the SRC. This time round we went to the Dragonfruit Farm and Qianhu Fish Farm.

At the Dragonfruit Farm, we get to see the tree that bears the fruit, and got to drink the delicious drink (manufactured from Malaysia, yet not commonly seen in Singapore). Bought some fruits and dragonfruit jam for my grandma. She likes this fruit in particular!

Next stop is the Qianhu Fish Farm where we had our ever first Fish Spa!!! It was featured on Ch 8 if any one of u caught that. It was a tickling and funny feeling at first, pretty scared when the swarm of fishes swimming near to our feet...hee....then gradually we will get used to the tingling feeling (massaging)..but when the big ones come near, we tend to get our feet out of the water!! Ahhh....so scared!! haha... Its also quite a "creepy" feeling when u see so many fishes surrounding your feet. So in order to distract ourselves, we chit chat and listen to music lor..Both our feet attracted a lot of fishes, unlike the other people near us...We are thinking isit our feet are the "dirtiest"? haha...anyway, these fishes are so-called the "doctor fishes" that can help to heal all kinds of skin diseases and disorders. Do give it a try! Its FUN!!!

Last stop is the nearby Orchid Farm..nothing much to look at except for orchids lor, wat else? haha..but indeed the blooms are very beautiful...saw an unique plant there. Its is heart shape..take a look at my pictures bah!

Sometimes I really wish to...


.... Shout out loud to the both of them..." Keep Quiet One of You!!! Can't one of you just stop and listen to what the person is trying to say?!?!"

It is such a F*king frustrating yet funny sight to see almost any other day at my 2 other colleagues, trying hard to communicate. How do you communicate EFFECTIVELY? One talks, the other listens! Isn't it simple logic? Both of you are adults, so much senior (meaning older) than me, yet the junior (of cuz' younger) one gets to think logically! Maybe all 3o f us are Dogs (not literally..cuz what I am referring to is our Zodiac), so I get to hear "barks" around...Barking here and there...Sigh...So tired of hearing them...Sometimes I just shake my head slightly and sigh softly...

Sometimes she just can't listen carefully to what am I trying to explain, digest before shooting here and there. She dun get the picture fast yet she keeps wanting to ask "Who's asking? Who? Who" Then off her fingers, starting to dial the number of the person whom I was having a discussion with! Hey Woman! I need some respect here ok! I am just askin you a question, which I did becuz I respect your EXPERIENCE! But definitely not your RASHFULNESS!! You are too RASHFUL for a 25+24years old person ( You see, she is older than me in 2 cycles so add 24 years old lor) I am feeling so ashamed cuz' people might thought I din make myself clear to you before you started calling others then trying to understand the situation. Hey keep your that accusing tone n eyes to yourself ok? I tried to explain to you liao hor...Its juz that you refuse to digest it before you started barking. Typical BITCH!!

I know I have to respect you, because of your experience and age(?) but sometimes I really feel like exploding inside me...I am trying so hard to "communicate" with you on work matters cuz we have no problems on non-work stuffs...I can get along with people so long they dun make me feel irritated/frustrated/unhappy.

Ok, enuf of my barking here... tomorrow will be another day of barking session in the office (Its juz the matter of who's barking at who)...

My very first...Driving experience

Amazing!! 
I can't believe I am actually driving the car!!! And I survived my first lesson ALIVE!!  haha...(the instructor must be thanking his lucky stars  at then...)

Driving
is actually quite fun, even thou I keep experiencing car jerk, suddenly
engine die blah blah blah...hahah...Turning around a bend is still not
good enough, keep going out of lane easily. Nevertheless, it was a very
fun experience!! Can't stop smiling once my lesson ends.

Tomorrow will be my 2nd lesson, and Dear will be accompanying to the driving centre. Yeh! Yipee!

May I get my license soon!!!!

Happy Birthday, Tanlin : - )




Today is an important day to Women from all over the world, and it is also an important day to a person who is important to us - Loh Tanlin!! She is my closest friend, since JC, and I always confided in her for whatever problems I have.

Today I gave her a surprise by showing up without her knowingly! She was having high-tea buffet with Suling @ Goodwood Park, and I decided to meet them after my work. It was so difficult to hide here and there, and trying to keep the surprise alive, by sms-ing my agent Suling. haha...

Gave her a 爱情猪 - hoping that love will befall her in this pig year soon..She's such a nice and lovable woman, so single guys, do grab the chance!

Saw an EXTREMELY LOVABLE & CUTE baby boy @ Taka's Baby Fair. He looks so much like the baby in Jackie's Chan movie. Tanlin cannot resist and keep playing with the baby (by the way, he's Ryan). Yah, we even got to know his name too :P Duno by chance or on purpose, we just kept walking past the baby several times. Then Tanlin kept stopping to play with him. Actually can't blame her la, he is really a lovable baby who kept smiling at people who walked past him!! He is such so happy looking!! I pray hard that my baby can be as lovable as him....

Lastly, Happy Birthday Tanlin. This entry is especially dedicated to you.

My CNY with Primary Sch Pals




We never feel outa' place catching up with each other, despite only meeting only once per year, depending on when Susan is back, or when Eve celebrates her birthday...Hee...BUT! I can say firmly that our 13 years of friendship is very strong and close, and I am very fortunate to have them staying close in my life! We had a catch-up cum mahjong session on 2nd day of CNY, at Eve's newly renovated 4-level landed property. Very chio house deco, with awesome bathroom she has a nice bathtub. (Can't compare my bathtub cuz mine is so small & squeezy!) Here are the evidence of me playing mahjong...haha....

I can't believe I actually did.....




After so many years of empty talk but no action, I can't believe I actually take my 1st step into realising the "empty talk" into action. I went to enrol myself to learn driving - one of my greatest fear cuz of my lack of courage, lack of confidence & lack of agility (+flexibility)... So, maybe to many other female drivers out there, you may find this blog entry insignificant. However to me, it is as if doing something impossible. To encourage me, Dear even drove me to SSDC for the enrolment. He also enrol himself for Class 2 driving lessons, sort of accompanying me when I go for my practical lessons. In another way, he is realising his own dreams la! hee....

I really hope I can accomplish this "Impossible mission" successfully, with lotsa lotsa practice & maybe pig brain soup? Cuz' I just read the first few pages and are still finding hard to understand the Clutch ah, Gear Lever ah...Hope I can 开窍 soon....
