1st Appointment today!

We both applied for leave today as we need to go to sign our 1st Appt at HDB. Quite excited. But more even so looking forward to getting our keys! hee...

Very shag. slept late last night cos I know I can afford to wake up late today. But was woken up early in the morn. kinda spoil the day man. so was blur blur when I went HDB. Allan lagi worse. he slept at 3am.

Anyway, hope our grant will be approved soon! next thing to look forward!

We went to Takaya yesterday for dinner buffet. We ate alot until too full. Then Allan was telling me some kinda joke after our meal. Made me laugh and I felt pain in my stomach when I giggled. really too full. So I suggested to take a walk to digest the food. And guess what when we went back to the car. Kena summon! Shucks.... it was just 5 mins ago kena somemore. **faint** if not for the walk, this wouldn't happen.

Pics of the food. One thing I was looking forward to was the grilled mushroom. Too bad it was taken off the buffet menu. Haiz... But overall, not bad. It's $23 NETT per pax. So it's value for money. other places charge abt $30++.

Sashimi mori: tuna, swordfish and what else? Salmon (my fav!)

Chinmi: Jellyfish, octopus and seasoned scallop...

The tempuras! mushroom, prawn, scallops....dou-dou!Menu. i know u can't see but can aga-aga the title yah?Cold soba! slurp slurp...

Thoughts....

Some of my thoughts these days:

People always say living together with in-laws is like courting your own troubles. I have heard from male colleagues who have moved out because their wife and their mother are very sensitive people and they are sandwiched in-between. So life was a misery and hence shift out. stuff like that...

For me, I feel fortunate to still be able to say that I'm happily living under the same roof with my in-laws. Sometimes, misunderstandings occur as that is unavoidable in life. So trying to understand the other party is very important. Just don't take others' words too hard, I think. The husband plays an important role actually.

My conclusion: Living together with no matter who is never easy. We need to understand one another. It's like even living alone with your spouse, you also have disagreements right? Of course, the confrontation method is different.

Another thing I thought of today: When being out with hubby, never take the wheels when he is in a bad mood. He's in an extremely sian mood today(due to work) while we drove around looking at furniture. I told myself NOT TO volunteer to drive as he might get pissed off by my driving skills at times. Good Move!

P/S: I don't think my driving skills very bad but when one is in a foul mood, one gets irritated easily.

Natalie and Tiffany! The little ones....

Last Sunday, I went to visit my little niece Natalie. She was sleeping all the way while I was there. So the pics you see will be closed-eyes. She's so tiny with thick crop of hair. cute! Pics describe better....

**********************************************************************************


Sleeping soundly. Now I understand why people use "sleeping like a baby" to describe one who is in deep sleep. They are oblivious to what is going on around them. See... Dream...dream dream dream....
Shen-shen carrying the little one.... tiny little hands... ooh.... gentle gentle... =)
Getting Tiffany to pose with her little sister! She was moving according to my instructions. it was quite hilarious. "Girl, move your head abit right. nearer to ur mei-mei.... closer... lower" haha...

Tiffany looked through my Taiwan photos and what else I always displayed whenever I take pic??? The "Victory sign!!! Kids learn fast! Now, she's always posing with that whenever she takes pic. See next pic & u know what I mean.

The famous Victory-sign!!! Riding her little horse with neigh-ing sound.Posing as a "Sunny Girl" with the Hawaii sunglasses on. Being a girl is definitely fun! With all the accessories and being cute & girly....

Current serial for me at the moment: Corner with Love.

Guess what, there might be a Corner with Love 2!

Packing & Flying tomorrow morning....

I'm referring to Allan... not me. I had finished packing his luggage. Phew! His luggage is always -> Go Heavy => Lighter luggage back. Cos he will be bringing some food stuff gifts and work related samples there. He will have to leave the house tomorrow morning at 5.15am. Just booked a cab and got a soverign mercedes...erm... Comfort is not bad.

Abit sad but anyway, I kept reminding ourselves 5 days will fly past soon. He will be back on Sun 4pm++. Hmm... that's the sunset of the weekend liao.

Last night, Allan wanted to bring me go eat durians. But I was having a slight sore-throat then. My throat is fine now so we will be going tonight~~ Yeahie... I've been fantasizing for durian for a loong time liao.... lol.

Must Try: Lorong Ah Soo Lor Mee!

Remember I mentioned going to the Hougang hawker center for breakfast on Sat and Sun to try their lor mee and kway chap?

Well, we ordered both on Saturday morning! It was a heavy breakfast.

I ordered 4pcs of chwee-kuey...then 1-person set meal kway chap and 1 additional bowl of kuey.

He went to rackee around and returned back with the tada! famous Lorong Ah Soo Lor-Mee! "The queue was surprisingly not too long so I went to buy," he quips happily.

The Lor-Mee was delicious!!! We finish almost all. There were alot of duck meat inside considering it's $2 a bowl. It's a Must Try if you are there. The hawker center is Blk 105 Hougang Ave 1 and it's at the 2nd level of the Hainanese Village Center.

Yummy, the lor-mee with the minced garlic and chili padi and vinegar added in.... slurpy.

Hubby digging into it while I snap snap...The kway-chap 1 person set meal cost only $2.30! What can I say? The dishes(pig's organs, tau po, etc) are very tasty but the kuey is not so-so only....Ok, this sashimi is kinda out of the pic. This was bought from the NTUC at AMK Hub when I went there last Thursday. Value-for-money. Like this for $4 only. Taste fresh. But too bad not enough soya sauce for me to finish the radish. And I had to pay $0.10 for a pair of chopsticks.
We were on our way to Four-Horse road to pray to the Goddess of Mercy last Friday when we saw these 2 jokers TP. They were riding super slow. And the fat one just stopped like that. The 2 hogging the road. There was this uncle motorcyclist behind them and was beside our car. I looked at him and guess what, he looked at me looking very pissed due to the 2 TP and mouthed," Bloody f^&kers!" I was appalled! He must be damn pissed off. Took a closer shot to illustrate how they stopped. see below....You see.. they should be in single file right? Not side by side.... argh!

Disagreeements....

Married life.... it's been half a year since. Or rather just. Well, most of the time we are in the lovey dovey stage. This weekend did strike a few bouts of unhappiness. Sometimes you are mad at me. Or it was me mad at you. Or some miscommunication. Bottomline was that we wanted the best for each other.

But so much within these 3 days, i felt it's abit too much lah.

I think the most important thing after every argument or disagreement is that you still love your other half deep inside. Cos sometimes you get so f*&^king mad at the other person that you cannot think straight. Like what on earth is he trying to do? Then I start wondering whether he still loves me. Of course I'm too mad to ask.

But on the other hand, having small disagreement is good. If not, life will be too boring right? Besides, it makes you understand each other better.

My thoughts after this weekend is that communication between a couple is very important. It's best to clarify things at that point in time. Sometimes I didn't and I think too hard about it afterwards. Realised this is not good as the thoughts kept spinning in my head and I will be looking for the right moment to say it to you. I should change this. Cos finding the perfect moment is hard. Sometimes there's simply no perfect moment.

This morning, Allan said," I think you are having PMS."

"Why do you say so?" I asked with curiousity.

"You have no sense of humour." he replied.

"Oh... Erm, what did you say just now?" I asked. Apparently, I didn't hear what he mention. that's why i didn't laugh/giggle at all.

Perhaps I was thinking about the issue which I didn't confront last night. ~

p/s: just gorged on a lot of food after my trip back from the foot reflexology. think it's the PMS charging at me. Allan mentioned it might be due to the foot massage that caused me to be so hungry. argh. talk about dieting?

XIAOBAI.... my doggie.

Does he look angry? We went jogging without him. haha... From laying with his head up to....
Laying with his head down and resting... giving me a "sian" look. that's him lazing around. He's abit fat yah?
Just as I was capturing my last shot of him laying down, he stood up and walked towards me.

He's really adorable. love him to bits... But there was this one morning where i envy him. I was up preparing to go to work and guess what, he was still sleeping and SNORING somemore! ARGH! So shiok... All he wants is to go out and play....

Finally we bought our own house!

We have been searching around for a flat for about 3~4 months... It's not easy. Cos when finding a resale flat, you get to see everything. You will like certain aspects and dislike some others. Which level is the unit, the layout So it's not easy to find something we really really like. If we do, the price will be rocket-high! The area we were initially looking at is very hot. It's near Serangoon MRT station. The flats there are about 17 years old liao. But for a 4A flat, valuation is about 290K and the cash portion is usually 20K++. Abit insane right?

After CNY, we extended our search to Lorong Ah Soo which is also very near to PIL place. Saw one unit which was very spa-like. It was a 5I flat at 10th floor and 10 yrs old. Valuation 305K, owner asking for 360K. Agent mentioned someone already offered 30K cash above 305K. Luckily I didn't think too much about it. When I called the agent to see if the offer is still on cos contemplating whether to put in an offer. Guess what, the bidding had closed and someone paid 42K above the valuation. dud?




We bought a 4A unit at Hougang Ave 1 on 24-March! It's near to my in-laws place. Very happy that I can get the 40K grant. =) It is actually quite near to my sis's workplace at Defu Lane.


Allan and I were very happy when we bought it on 24-March. it was also our 6-months wedding anniversary on that day too. So the feeling is like... erm... reaching like another milestone of our couplehood. We felt really happy! The area there is quite peaceful but not too ulu. near expressway and there's a wet and dry market within 5 mins walk! A big hawker center and lotsa kopitiam. feels excited thinking about it. Gonna sign my 1st appointment on 27-April. I can't wait to receive the keys man! We went the hawker there for breakfast today...


This is the 2-storey market. 1st-storey is the wet market... 2nd-storey is the hawker stalls. see below for more....


This stall has a long queue. It was featured in the Chinese Zaobao not too long ago. Lorong Ah Soo Lor Mee...



This long queue was for a Nasi Lemak stall. $2 for rice, small fried fish and ikan bilis. Not really worth it lei cos no chicken wing... hee... Don understand why these pple are queuing for it.

Anyway, I feel happy seeing so much stalls. Yum yum...We ate vegetarian food today. So Hubby was planning to eat kway chap on Sat and Lor Mee on Sunday. WOA haha.... Food, here we come! =P

Good Friday/Guan Yin Dan/FIL B-day

Today is a public holiday => Good Friday which happens to be Guan Yin Dan. Happens that FIL's chinese birthday is on Guan Yin Dan. 1st BIL bought a cake and we celebrated after dinner. We couldn't think of a gift to get for FIL so we gave him an ang-pow to wish him Good Health!

Here we are singing the Birthday Song.... Happy Birthday to you x2, Happy Birthday to Ah Gong!, Happy Birthday to you! hee... all of us were singing except Tiffany who was blur blur at that time.

Father-in-law with my niece.... Btw, she plucked off 1 blue-berry before we even put the candles on. that's kids... i've got a pic showing me licking my little finger after I scoped some cream from my brother's birthday cake when we were kids. Kids see something they like, they take.... She likes to eat cream off the cake -> Same as Allan~)

Accompanied Tiffany to play "badminton" after this. We played from downstairs to upstairs. She's supposed to go home but instead, she packed the things and say she wanna go my room and play somemore. Up we go. She jumping around on my bed. We had quite some fun. She's very adorable. And surprises me at times. Well, what I can say is we like each other!...

p/s: She's grown taller and stronger day by day. Today, she managed to get up my bed without any additional stool! I was amazed. Her arms pulling my bedsheet and up her little butt and leg went up. Voila... she's happily standing on the bed.

The Scent reminds me of....


I had stopped using Bvlgari Omni Crystalline for a long time as I can't seem to identify its fragrance. Out of the blue, I decided to splash it before leaving for work today. And you know what, it brought back a deja-vu feeling(in a negative way).


When I was in office, the scent seems to bring me back to my previous job which was stressful and I didn't like it a single bit. I started to feel sick (aching nose) and stress for no apparent reason. The Deja-vu feeling made me swear to myself NEVER ever to wear it to work again!!!


Current smells of Christian Dior(CD) Addict perks my morning. And CD Midnight Dream made me feel womanly and all! *thanks hubby for the gifts*


Today, I realised what a difference a Scent makes!
Tomorrow is the last working day of the week. It's been a super tiring week. Usually I will snooze once and get my butt out of the bed. But these days... i'm like snoozing twice or even thrice before getting up! Looking forward to the long weekend! Feels motivated just thinking about it!!! haha....

My Horrible Sunday! Accident. Hate it...

Today is a bad day for me.

I supposed to pick my mum from Yishun and drive her and sista to Ang Mo Kio to pray to ancestors. Woken up realising I was kinda late. Washed up and went out right after that by myself. I was about to reach my mum's place when I kena banged by a mini-bus behind me. I was about to reach, just a junction away. Red traffic light. Hence I stoppped at the junction. Out of a sudden, I heard a "pong!!!" and got a shock. luckily, I got my seat-belt faithfully on and I'm not in neutral gear or anything. I stepped on brake at that point in time.

I got down the car angrily. I thought,"even if car no damage also must act angry." Saw my car boot dented thinking "Oh, Shit." The bloody bus-driver was still in his seat. He is driving those mini shuttle bus with quite a number of passengers in it. He came down and I told him,"You have dented my car." He gave me his IC and I copied the details down. Called hubby to see what else I need to do. That's about all. The driver said he will call his company and get back on the compensation. I was kinda in a shock. 1st time kena this.

After driving my mum to AMK, prayed to my grandparents and then came home to let hubby assess the damage. He was quite shocked to see it. "It's quite bad lei. The behind of the car is abit out of shape. The bumper part is even loosened." I took a look... it's really quite bad. He thought only bumper dented only...

After discussion with 1st BIL, he said it's better to go by insurance. The bus-driver wanted to settle by paying money. But our car still relatively new, so still better by insurance to go authorised workshop.

Haiz... feel bad that Allan must undergo all the hassle of going to report the incident and sending the car for repair. His job needs a car to travel around. suay....

This incident caused us to be on "Not-too-good" terms this afternoon. He was kinda sian cos it kinda spoil the wkend. Who would have expected this right? No one wanted this. I was driving carefully. But I really don't understand why that joker would bang into me. I had stopped there for quite some time liao.

My mum felt quite bad cos she asked me to go pick her up. So if she didn't do that, this would not have happened. But to me, it's not her fault lah. Life is unpredictable.

My Saturday Date... hee...


Guess where am I? saw this row of shophouses along Loke Yew Street. near Stamford House. opp this is The Museum Shop which is undergoing restoration. The old building was built in 1910.

I had a great Saturday. Hubby and I went out for dinner. It was something we had not done for a long long time. We went to Curry Favour at Stamford Court. I would greatly recommend their pork katsu curry rice. The portion is HUGE! this time round, Allan agreed too.




We ordered their Mushroom Fry for our starter. It was delicious.... yummy! Allan is asking me to learn this dish. hee...


He ordered the Pork Katsu curry and I ordered the Fish & Chicken Curry set.



We were so so full after the dinner. Walked around the boutiques at Stamford house. Saw one extremely exclusive furniture boutique which I think only the super rich can afford. Guess this armchair's original price????


Original Price = $8K plus! After discount, $5K plus!!!
Shopped in Raffles City, Citilink Mall. Bought some magazine and had my dessert at Gelare! My 2nd waffle this week. Argh! Already piling on weight but still couldn't resist the temptation. Gotta foster more determination.
A relaxing night with my date aka hubby.
