From Sunrise... To Sunset...

Lazing around the house

Okay, I think I have something worthy to blog about.

The Chronicles of the Tuna Adventure!

Haha, so lazy me got up at 11+am, and only ate a few biscuits for breakfast at 12:30pm!

We were planning to have tuna sandwiches for lunch, and I had bought the bread yesterday, so there wasn't much preparation work. When we proceeded to get ready, the can of tuna we previously brought back from the shop was MISSING!

So okay, no choice, we went to NTUC to look for Ayam Tuna Spread. Surprisingly it was also nowhere to be found, only flavours like Mayonaise, Chilli, Wasabi... etc.. Everything but Tuna Spread!

Okay then we went to Cold Storage to find.. There was, but it's like 30cents more expensive!! Wasn't satisfied, so we were pondering if we want to eat Yoshinoya.. End up also don't want, decided to go back to NTUC to get ham and eggs for noodles.

Still not satisfied with the ham, end up want to get another brand of tuna spread.. Decide already, then end up going to pay, on the way saw the Ayam can on the way to the counter, sitting happily on another shelf! Alamak.

And we wasted 1.5 hours walking here and there!! So we got to eat only at nearly 3pm and I got gastric pain. Bleh. Cut up half a papaya and saved it for later..

Looked at old pictures of mama and my baby pictures.. Very funny!! And cute of course! That took up the whole afternoon..

My specs still making me dizzy, quite sian man.

Watched Earth From Above taped from last night, this time about overfishing and the oceans.. 7pm+ mama prepare dinner, then we eat.. 9pm watch BBB and now here I am, only half watching the Kdrama.

Tomorrow going Hougang Central for dental cleaning, and then probably walk around..

I am craving for bubble tea!!! =) And I wanna cut hair, like NOW!!!

Suddenly I am not so excited about living in Gage. I'm afraid of weird roommates, overwhelming schoolwork, cooking messes, making time for grocery shopping, carrying groceries home... Aiyah, maybe I'm being paranoid.

Positive thinking!!!!!!! My roommates all cannot cook for nuts!! :P LOL~ I'm nuts lah.

8th floor. Should I make a pact with myself, that at least once a day I'll climb up the stairs, so I can lose weight? In Grade 12 I walked home uphill half an hour every day and when I came back to Singapore I remember everyone telling me I lost a lot of weight. So stairs should help, like the Stairmaster, except I won't even need a bulky exercise machine because I have 8 floors of stairs to climb every day! Coming down also can, but I scared I'll get dizzy.

And PIANO! I need to make time for piano as well! Haven't played properly in 3 months already.. All scores forgotten lo.. Still can play bits and pieces here and there.

Sorry for the hyperventilating, but I suppose hot weather can be the culprit to blame!!

Last day of Pushcart Sales

Lalalala today is my last day of pushcart sales! Sales were pretty bad, oops.

Got my pay for yesterday and today, a lovely (not-so-crisp) blue note. Weehee!!!!

Nothing very interesting, came home and ate dinner and potong ice cream...

BBB is ending soon, story so nice!

Mama is nagging me TO watch drama, but I very sleepy she still wanna watch. WHAT IS THIS!

I WANNA CUT HAIR!!!!!!!!!! HOT la...

Can't wait for sushi buffet with Hianez!!!

Why do I have NOTHING to blog about today?

Why are all my sentences only one line long?

Boss says she might need me during the 3rd week of August, so we'll see.

Random nothings

Hahaha last night's sales was not too bad..

Have been following the war between XX and DY, very exciting. I mean both sides are wrong, but I guess now everyone's on XX's side now because DY's getting exposed for all her behind-the-scenes action.. But for me, I think both sides also wrong lah, so not standing up for anyone..

I have been thinking about this for a month and I always forget to mention it here... I WANNA CUT HAIR!!! Haiyo, this hairstyle damn ugly, I want something more layered.. But still long..

Last night watched Korean drama when I came home from work, it's called "Couple or Trouble" HAHA it was really funny and hilarious; we just watched it because Ppl was watching it and hogging the TV -_- But next episode the whole losing memory thing happens again lol like in all Kdramas, so don't think I'll keep watching..

BBB was so nice yesterday!! Especially the part when she grabbed some other man's hand instead of the one she was suppose to hold.. LOL~

My blog's getting messed up, I don't post properly anymore.. I wanna go eat breakfast.. Wanna change blogskin soon if I have time!?

Gage East Towerrrrrrrrrrrr 8th FLOOR!

Lalalala I'm happy and worried all mixed into one!

I got the housing assignment for the next school year at UBC lo! Gage East Tower 8th Floor... Huat ah!! Not too high and not too low, not too bad and I don't think I would complain.. At least it's still walkable if the lift breaks down or something (*touchwood*)..

And my room is #2, out of 6, so it's neither in the corner nor beside the emergency exit, which is quite a good thing. It's 3 rooms one one side and 3 rooms on the other, so I'm the middle one on one side.. Let's hope my future roommates do not blast music or else I'll be trapped in the middle!

And it's Unit A, don't know what to complain about that.. There's 4 units on each floor, ABCD.. It's a matter of what view I'll get.. 8th floor hopefully can see SOMETHING!! Best is a sea view lah.. But I'm not placing too high hopes on that.. But I hope I don't face a building directly or something!! WTH~~~ Best is something to overlook, like a low building or something? Can see people walk here walk there then very good.

Debbie's in South Tower, and she has several angmoh roommates! So far I know 3 of my roommates' names, and 3 of them are of different races... Not gonna be racist but I'm scared already!! Debbie will know.. Both of us are going to run away from home together.... To the LIBRARY!??! Just opposite our place, a stone's throw away..

So much to anticipate, good thing I've stayed at Selina's place for 2 weeks so I'm more or less prepared about the general layout of the place.. But people-wise, can't really do anything, except make myself more friendly and accomodating!

Ppl had been nagging all day after that, about my messiness and even talking about how I might divorce my partner in future cos I'm messy! Erm, it's kinda far-fetched don't you think?? At most I'll limit the mess to my own room, and hopefully NOT the kitchen lah!!

Okay, I thought yesterday was my last day at pushcart sales but boss calls me again for today, cos last night she closed early cos she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to trouble me.. Hahaha good, more moolah for me =) So I'm working 4:30pm today.

GAGE!!!! 8th FLOOR! LUCKY number?? Hope is all I can do, for peace and harmony between me and my roommates.. And Debbie says PRAY too, that they cannot cook for nuts. Hah!

Vivo-shopping~~

MONEY MONEY MONEY! In my pocket I have $40 from yesterday and today! And $25 from Saturday, and $25 from Friday.. In all $90, but now left $75 after the I.P.Zone jacket..

Lalala couldn't really sleep last night.. And then woke up with a stomachache :S so mama went to open the stall with me hehe. Sit there all morning do nothing, only one miserable customer!! Then boss came at 12, then we bought a mini handbag from her.. Original $6, then she offered to give it to us! But we insisted on giving and she ended up taking $1 -_- LOL!

And then we went to eat lunch.. Share chicken rice and chicken satay.. NIIIIICE! SO long since I've had satay!! Then we went to make specs for mama and adjust mine.. Went to Vivo after that, walk around Giant (wanted to buy a pan, end up don't want).. Saw a pretty pair of red and white flats.. $8 only! But I cannot get anymore shoes! So didn't buy it.. Bought a BRA! LOL~~ Not too expensive. And then had ice cream, and next stop was Daiso, where I bought a mini timer, for my cooking purposes in future! It's in pretty pink and so tiny. CUTE!

Went for dinner at Kopitiam, didn't really feel like eating cos had headache, because of the specs.. So went back to Heartland Mall adjust again, much better.. Walk around, tried on clothes at This Fashion.. Bought another BRA, straps can change one.. Hahaha. And then went home watch BBB.

I still have a slight headache so I'm going to sleep soon, and I will TRY to upload pictures if nothing crops up tomorrow =) Sigh now I really kinda regret not buying those flats. BUT I CANNOT HAVE ANYMORE SHOES OMG!!!! HOW?!?!? Help meeeeeeeeee....

Pushcart Sales Day 3

Ooooo I'm sleepy now. Cos I've just had a super late dinner at 10pm+ *burp* See my diet plans down the drain again, cos I thought I could skip dinner while working. Hah! But mama saved me some veggies and meat and dumplings.. So ate them all..

Anyway lazy morning again, breakfast and then watch drama and then clean up the house. Ppl very funny leh, mood change as fast as the weather.. I was cutting some paper (using penknife) on a cutting mat and he insisted that I cut on other waste paper, or else will spoil the mat. Hello? The mat is MEANT to be used that way!

And then 12+, almost 1pm went to buy lunch, go out at the same time as Ppl and then he was asking me if I saw the lost dog poster at the bottom of our block. I said, "Ya see liao. That one April one..." And he says "Really ah?" Trust me, things don't get any weirder than him taking notice of such things.

Got chicken rice for me and mama, and then went home.. Super hot weather!! It had been raining and cloudy pretty much the whole week and this is the first sunshine we've gotten since a while. And then ate le, slack, drama and then chiong to work at 4pm!

Not many customers for a Sunday afternoon.. I was so bored I munched on biscuit sticks, an egg tart and my boss bought me several pieces of sushi cos she was afraid I'll get hungry.. Hahaha.. Ohh and a heaping spoon of mango gelato heeheehee. Yummy.

Closed and went home.. Tomorrow have to work at 9:30am! Doing opening for the first time! Hope I can wake up in time -_- I have to laaaa. LOL oh the Nintendo DIED! No more gaming! Even the Gameboy died too.. Anyone interested in collecting ancient Nintendo products?

Oh yea bumped into 2 of my ex-neighbours.. One didn't recognize me but the other one did.. One from Hougang Central block, one from my current block.. Hehehe. LALALA I'm BORRRRED!

watched the sunset at 7:43 AM

Work..... And Shopping!! :D

I'm like super hyper now! Haha cos I got a new jacket =D

Okay let me start from the top as usual.. Woke up at 10+am again and ate the leftover beehoon and stuff from last night.. Ate only a bit, cos going for yumcha for lunch.. End up watch an episode of Wasabi mon Amour (it's seriously irking me but mama wants to continue so no choice).. Went out around 1pm, went to Serangoon Garden Circus there, the country club inside de Jumbo Seafood Restaurant..

HK dimsum.. They have the best fried wanton ever!! So big, look like abalone.. Perfectly fried and crispy.. Talking about it makes me hungry already.. Had some other stuff too..

And then went back around 3+, shopping around Heartland Mall with mama cos I work at 4pm today. And then! We saw the nicest jacket at I.P.Zone.. Having sale, tees were $6 but I forbid myself from buying anymore tees, so looked at jackets at $15. The one I chose was originally $39!!!!!!

And tried it on, it was good and when we were about to pay we realised none of us had money on us LOL! So I hurried down to the pushcart and ask my boss to borrow money first, and she auto gave me my paycheck hehehe. She gave me $25 for 4.5 hours yesterday and the half hour from today.. So went to pay for the jacket and I went to work and mama went home..

Lalala and work was rather quiet for a Saturday.. Ate a waffle.. And then close a bit earlier, reach home around 10pm also, ate leftovers.. Sales around the same as yesterday, until the last minute some woman came to haggle a bag at $30 and a girl bought a top at $20, pushing the sales up quite a bit.

Oh I bumped into Cheryl from MF-4K, who was shopping with her mama.. Made small talk and that's it.. Nothing much..

And I believe I haven't mentioned anything about Mr Honey right? Haha he's the nice man with the honey stall next to ours, hence the name :P He's a quiet man who's very polite and skinny and dark and kinda bald and just sits at his honey stall and does nothing and doesn't sell very much honey oops. He didn't eat anything during the whole time I was there yesterday, and today he went to get food and man, he eats a lot for a man his size! He had a packet of noodles AND a box of nasi lemak.. LOL..

Funny customer of the day: An Indian man who wanted a long-ish necklace cos he was going to his company dinner, and ended up buying a belt-thingy to make it look like a necklace! Okay that sentence itself is funny enough so I shall not elaborate.

Not that I'm dissing my boss, but how can anyone spend $13 on a HAIRCLIP (those mini ones), and $46 on a hair rubberband with a cloth flower with crystals stuck all over it??!!? While poor people like me spend $15 on a jacket!!

~~Okay mama is rushing me to watch more drama so I promise I will upload pictures when I have time!!~~ I'm trying Photobucket so I hope it works out.. TATA! I love my new jacket. First time spending money BEFORE I get my paycheck HHAHAA!

Oh ya look at my Water Babies!

And pictures from lunch today:

Okay that's all. I'm not too used to big-ass photos on my blog. Hmmph.

So I resized them. Weird proportions.

Pushcart Sales Day 1

My legs are sore.. Turns out that I had to work at the pushcart today as well.

Got up super late, at 10:30am after lazing around in bed for super long.. And then by the time we finished breakfast it was 11:30am liao! Ppl went out soon after so me and mama were like YEEHAAA! LOL.

We blast the radio, and then I was spliting the Water Babies me and Hianez were sharing.. I tried a few and they grow not instantly, but it was pretty cute when I saw the outer membrane of it. It's kinda transparent now, and they look like bubble tea pearls! So cool HAHAH.

And then later on I cooked pasta AGAIN. This time with the leftover veggies celery and beans, and hotdog.. Ate until quite full.. Then slack, watch Rhythm of Life (the SG drama) and then 4:30pm prepared and went to Heartland Mall..

Lalala stand around, and after the 2 bosses left just stood around and stuff. Basically the whole night not many customers, and the customers always haggling as usual. One funny customer was eyeing a white and red checkered skirt.. She keep looking, then went away and came back again and finally bought it.. She even sort of tried it on..

And another woman was funny, she came, went through the rack and grabbed a top and instantly paid for it without bargaining, asking me to quickly wrap it up cos her husband is smoking outside and have to buy clothes secretly or else he will nag at her.. HAHAHA!

Some men were nice enough to look and give suggestions to the women when they were looking and choosing.. Ahh total sales today (from 5pm onwards) around $200.. Took quite a while closing cos wrapping the cloth round the stall took soooo long!

Got home around 10pm, finished my brownie.. Wasn't that hungry cos one of the bosses bought me an Old Chang Kee curry puff, yummies! I think overall I was quite nervous about being a salesgirl so wasn't that hungry all evening. Ppl had saved me some beehoon for dinner but I decided I would have it for lunch tomorrow instead.. No point in me stuffing myself silly tonight..

Okay, gonna watch BBB that I taped! Tata! 2 or 3 more days of salesgirl-ing!

Rotting at home.. TV.. Game.. Computer..

Today woke up at 10am! Stomachache again :(

Slack online, until 12:30pm.. Wanna cook pasta but no more corn so went to NTUC to get 2 cans (one for future use) and I cooked pasta ALL by myself this time! Mushroom soup, frozen beans, corn and luncheon meat with FUSILLI pasta.. Hahaha.. I still need to improve on my cooking skills, especially time management!

Then slack somemore. Do nothing.. Ppl bought back tauhuay and we eat.. Then me and mama started watching Wasabi mon Amour.. TVB drama.. Watched 2 episodes and then prepared dinner.. Cut the beans and celery, removing all the strings.. And then just wait and dinner was done! Finished eating at 8pm and I played Nintendo..

Watched BBB and now online and blog. Zzz wanna sleep soon cos head feeling woozy all day, maybe it's too much gaming and computer and TV!! -_-

Anyway forgot to mention, yesterday go shopping right, we saw this loooong sponge and mama was wondering, is it for showering? She wondered out loud and a saleslady interrupted and said, "No, it's for washing dishes. For you to cut into different sizes yourself." and walked away. I promptly whacked mama with the long sponge and said, "I'm not going out with you anymore! I don't know you lah!" LOL!! Funny sia.

Aiya siannn. 1-4K gathering on this Saturday, but I need to do the pushcart part time, only THIS weekend! How coincidental can it get! Hmmph. I cannot say I can't work cos I said okay a few weeks ago.. Guess I have to give the gathering a miss then..

Facebook is irritating

Recently I added an application on Facebook.. Another of those buying and selling friends one.. Because a few of my friends have been bidding on me, so I just decided to see what's going on.

Within a day of adding this application, these two angmoh men have been bidding nonstop, one after each other.. But a bit the funny hor?? Such a big difference in age.. If people my age one then understandable wat!! It went on for about 2 pages le, so I dunno what's going on.. =_=

Mind you, these are people whom I dunno okay~~

Neh mind they are far far away and they cannot catch me!!

The latest bidder you see there, he sent me a message:
"funnyla. this photo of u holding an idol photo up"

Cannot ah?? I like lehh =) And who said anything about him being my idol? I ish not some teenager going crazy about stars okay!!

Never mind this post. I'm just being bo liao.. Nothing better to do~~

Shopping @ Chinatown

Am currently watching Earth From Above.. It's a documentary with many stunning images of the planet Earth from a helicopter's view.. These 2 weeks it's talking about how scarce water is and how some places on Earth survive with very little water, which makes us feel really blessed to have such a good supply of water.. They just said that 70% of fresh water is used for agriculture.. Hmm.. Wonder how water can be a non-commodity in certain places... A bit hard to imagine..

Anyway today went out.. Raining in the morning so super nice to sleep, slept in until 11+am hehehe. 12:30pm go out, go Chinatown with both Ppl and mama, and then ate lunch.. Finish at 2pm, then we went to walk around, see pots and pans.. Then went to CK and me and mama bought some daily stuff. Much more interesting shopping for everyday stuff. I bought 2 door stoppers for $1 and a pack of pizza biscuit sticks (24 packs) for $2.10! =))

And then wen to OG also, but nothing much there. Took bus to Orchard and walk around everywhere. Saw this promoter baking a cake on a stove, very cool.. Selling pots and pans.. Didn't find one suitable for me.. Lalala..

Went home at 7pm+, ate KFC at Heartland Mall.. Then bought some other junk food, 3 packets for $5, original is $2 each.. Mama chose 2 and I chose one, those cuttlefish strips.. Went home and watch BBB and now Earth From Above..

Oh I wanna show you my purchases but so lazy to get my camera!!

Waffle-ing with Shuyi!!

Hahaha why I say I must go on a diet also keep on eating and eating and eating nonstop?! Hmmph.

Today woke up around 10am, ate half a ham sandwich and then slack online, then shower, cut nails and went out at 12+ to meet Shuyi at Hougang Mall at 1+pm!

We ambled around looking for food and decided on Kopitiam since we were both on tight budgets, and I had this chicken cutlet rice with egg.. Not bad..

Looks good?

And then walk around somemore, went to library and I borrowed some comics, couldn't find a decent book to read.. And then finally at 3pm we went to have waffles at Gelare! Today's Tuesday so it's half price.. I really wonder how can people afford it on non-Tuesdays! Prices of everything are so exorbitant these days!

Shuyi had chocolate-chip waffle with LOWFAT blueberry cheesecake ice cream, and I had the tutti fruitti waffle with NO ice cream, since it had toppings of peach and strawberry anyway.. We waited a long while cos there was quite a number of people at that hour..

Shuyi's waffle!

Shuyi with her waffle..

My waffle..

Me and my waffle!!

A picture together!! =)

Oh ya forgot to mention how delicious the waffle was! The whipped cream and the peach just complemented so well with the warm crispy first bite of the waffle.. Heavenly.. The peaches were good!! I can't describe it but it's just delicious!!

Haha like Shuyi says waffles don't like me cos last time we went I found a hair-thing on my plate and it turned out to be some part of the fruit, and today I discovered a stapler bullet on my plate. Might have fallen in when I was using the serviette halfway, so didn't do anything lah hahah..

And then Shuyi suggested going to her house, so off we went and on the way we saw these funny signs, courtesy of ALJUNIED Town Council..

People have such bad grammar.. I hope mine isn't any worse, as I am a English Language major to-be..

Hmm.. Am I supposed to play when the field is CRISPY?? =)

Played Cooking Mama on NDS Lite, and then Trauma Centre.. Quite fun, then we slack online, looking at our various timetable-planning tools.. Haha.. 6+pm mama call and chase me go home, so went home lor.. They cook noodles with veggies, ham and clams.. Very full..

Watched a bit of ISWAK2 online but it was kinda draggy.. 9pm watch BBB and now here I am. Shall go play Flipull HAHAHAH~

Drama + Cooking

Today is a day of cooking and nua-ing and drama-ing!!

I had been online for almost an hour and I almost forgot to blog..

Morning got up, ate kiwi pandan cake which Hianez gave me after our photo session yesterday.. Super delicious!! And then me and mama watch The Seventh Day, 2 episodes, and then 1+pm went to cook lunch..

Western food! French toast, sausage, scrambled egg, baked beans and corn.. Hahaha damn nice! Then we had grapes afterwards.. And then watched the final 3 episodes! OMG It was SOOOO sad~~~ But the ending quite cute lahh..

Then around 7pm we started preparing dinner.. Stirfry pork with green peppers and celery, cos Ppl went to buy groceries and man he spent SO MUCH on expensive stuff!! Hmmph. And then the pork turn out kinda smelling weird and then he went all quiet after we told him about it.. Dinner was so quiet.. I can easily do without family dinners, seriously.. I don't bother making jokes even to mama, cos he'll be watching and I don't like his reaction to my blabberings...

Ate quite late, so wash up then 9pm watch BBB and then online until now.. Gonna go off and slack somemore, maybe play Flipull!! Tatata~~

Cake Photography

Okay, note to self: don't pig out too much at parties, otherwise will result in stomachache next day.. But I didn't even stuff myself silly!!

Woke up with a stomachache and went toilet, but I felt very dizzy and was sweating all over.. Horrible!! Felt weak the rest of the morning.. Hmmph.. Then took some medicine then okay liao, went to shower and buy bread at around 12pm, and both parents went out, cos Hianez coming to my house take pictures..

Met her at 12+ at Heartland Mall, then we went to tapao chicken rice go my house eat.. Eat le, started taking pictures of CAKES!! Endless shots for just one piece of cake, then we moved on, only taking about 5 cakes in total, some candies and etc..

Although there's not too much elaboration cos 1) I'm lazy 2) I want to go eat my fruit and watch drama 3) I don't know what I should elaborate cos it's kinda boring.. It was a pretty tough day, cos we held up paper as backgrounds for each other, taking everything from different angles and lighting.. This is all for Hianez's photography project, so we're trying our best..

Finished around evening, still had many cakes to go and Hianez brought them all home. We waited for bus 136 for 20 minutes+!!! Aiyoh.. Then I went back and had chicken rice again! I'm so addicted to chicken rice now.

Oh I didn't mention the endless snacking on crushed biscuits, candy and cakes eh? We ate a mango fruit cake and an oreo cheesecake.. Surprisingly I had room for dinner.. I need to go on a diet and STOP PIGGING OUT!!!

You know what's my next line; don't bother asking for pictures ;)

PS. This is labelled under "outings" cos it's something happening out of my ordinary life ;)

Baby party!!

Lalala today has been a day of pigging out!!

HelloKitty invited us to her baby's 1 year old birthday party, so we went over to LM's house before going, and man her house is so clean! I'm so envious!! Around 1:30pm+ we went over, and there was quite a spread!

KFC, nuggets, crabsticks, curry puffs, otah, longans, grapes, melon.. Haha not bad for a baby party lah!! Ate and ate and ate.. Didn't eat as much as I could have.. Don't wanna look too greedy right? I thought there would be a lot more people but only a handful of people came..

Watched the little baby play, took pictures, ate cake around 3+.. I had fun.. Then 5pm went the other minimart look look see see, damn heavy rain!! My new sandals were too tight so I had sore feet..

Went to Compass Point around 6pm, and while waiting for Hianez me and mama sat and watched a performance of an Indian percussionist and the Chinese face-changing master.. Damn cool!! I video-ed it.. Then Hianez came, with lots of cakes for her project, mama help us bring home first, we walk around and got a couple more, and then went to Kovan..

End up never eat dinner, and went home at 8+.. Slack, play Flipull, and then shower.. Damn tired lah.. Watched my episode of Beach.Ball.Babes from last night as well.. I need sleep!!

Hianez coming to my house tomorrow and we're gonna style cakes and take pictures of them!! Hahaha.. OMG I'm so tired I can't talk properly le.. CYA!

Fruitful trip.. Photos + Shopping =)

Waaaaah today has been an extremely fruitful trip!!! Seriously!!!

Morning wake up drama, then me and mama made pasta again, then I went out at 1pm.. Go PS meet Hianez, then we walk walk outside, around town..

We walked past This Fashion and spent an hour in there.. Wanted to buy a $27 skirt which will be $13.50 after 50% discount but couldn't decide on a nice top to go with it so didn't buy :( Hianez got a great deal, $10 for a black jacket with green strips..

Then walk around somemore.. Took pictures nearby, in the Hotel Rendevous, my favourite dome structure.. Then walk on the stretch of road and dunno why we ended up at the Singapore National Museum.. Took pictures outside, and ventured inside, only to see a HUMONGOUS statue of a naked man, with his skin as maroon fabric with golden patterns.. I think the name of the exhibit is Surrounding David?

Walk around, and took photos of the structure of the building after seeking permission from the counter staff.. We ventured upstairs and took great fascination to a spiral staircase, and a windowsill which we posed and took emo shots.. Damn fun okay. I think the little primary school kids on excursion and the security guard who was there the whole time watching us must have thought we escaped from the loony bin!!

I was also a tad obsessed with the railings.. Damn nice lah.. Rested awhile there, I think we must have spent more than an hour at the museum, all for free and without looking at any boring exhibits, with the free air-conditioning! We also took many pictures at the bar outside the museum.. Hahaha..

Our energy was drained so we stopped by a cafe at SMU and I had a curry puff and Hianez had a pao.. Then we continued our journey to Suntec without much mood to take anymore photos, until we stumbled upon a mini forest pavement.. I went crazy taking flower macro shots, hopefully they turned out nice!!

And then went to Suntec, and Marina Square, bought Water Babies (those round pearly thingies which grow when you put them in water) -- 4 packs for $3, share with Hianez.. And we ate Long John Silver.. Poor counter guy so busy, long queues nonstop.. Then we went to Carrefour, piano awhile and looked for candies.. Took the shuttle bus to City Hall MRT, then went home around 10+..

Oh yes, Hianez help me to buy a 1GB USB thumbdrive for $12.90 at her school.. YAY now we get to exchange stuff through this, much easier!! =) Oh I bought $1 earrings at Carrefour also.. Tried on a blue mermaid skirt, quite cute.. Someone tell me why I'm so obsessed with skirts today?!?!

Can't wait to see the hundreds of pictures we took today.. Hopefully not disappointing! Pictures another time!!

Cooking day

Hmm.. Today has been another domesticating day!!

*This would be a good time to explain the whole domestic business.. There was one fine day which I said to Anna that I knit, and she exclaimed, "I can't believe you do activities like piano and knitting! You're so domesticated!" And that's how it all began.. Debbie started teasing me also lah, so now I'm gonna call her the domesticated woman who cooks every day!!!*

Slept damn early, before 12am, and then woke up at 9+.. Ate half a ham sandwich and hot chocolate for breakfast.. Then play Super Mario Land.. I beat the game (like finish all 4 worlds) in one hour.. Then me and mama took turns playing till 12pm, then we went to NTUC buy groceries.. Bought some veggies and eggs and luncheon meat and a FISH HEAD 0_0

Went home, cooked omelette with tomato, ham and sausage, and share noodles.. Mama's omelette turned out perfect and mine turned CRISPY and HARD, looking like a pizza -_- I tell you I may seem passionate for cooking but I seriously cannot cook for nuts!! Today's omelette - FAILURE!

Then around 2pm+ started watching TSD, episode 8-10.. Around 6pm mama started preparing dinner (that's something that hasn't happened in a LONG time!) and I helped.. Haha kinda fun.. Ate at 7pm.. We had baked beans, fried french beans with towkay and pork, and steamed fish head with tofu.. Not bad eh?? Haha, the towkay thing suddenly reminds me of Mrs Muthu, asking us to "hang ourselves on the towkay tree".. Hahaha good old Mrs Muthu.. We'll always remember this famous line of hers... =)

After dinner went to play Mario again, then watch TV, then shower, and now I have to clear up my Pentax photos cos the SD card is getting full! Tomorrow going on a photo trip! =)

Cooking + Nintendo

I never knew that a day spent at home could be so fun and photo-worthy! I took many many pictures today!

So after Ppl went out, mama and I proceeded to cook pasta at 12+.. I realize I really want to cook, but my basics are pretty bad.. Ie, I don't know how to boil pasta properly? It's sure easy watching people do it on TV.. LOL..

We bought these ingredients from NTUC last night..

The pasta (500g) was $2.90, Campbell soup was $1.30, and canned corn was unbelievably cheap -- 87cents!! OMG..

Chunz's Creamy Pasta -- Recipe
(serves 2)

Ingredients you will need:

1. 1 bowl of pasta (duh!) -- We are using fusilli today..

2. Sliced sausage and ham

3. Corn

4. Canned soup (forgot to take picture)

Procedure:

1. Cook the pasta

2. Drain and leave to cool

3. Cook canned soup and other ingredients together, adding as much or as little water as you see fit. Finally, put the pasta in and toss well.

And tada!!!

Garnish with ham or anything else you like, like cheese or spices..

Cooking at home is super affordable! We used like only 1/3 of the whole box of pasta, so it's like $1.. And only a bit of the canned corn, probably like 30cents of it? And the canned soup we had a bit leftover so maybe used about $1.. And the hotdog/ham, at most 40cents in all!! So a meal for 2 people (we were actually FULL!) is $(1+0.30+1+0.40) = $2.70.. Each person pays less than $1.50! Tell me, where can you find such delicious pasta for less than $1.50!! Now I know why so many people are in the food business..

Let this post be an encouragement to me (and my darling owlet) whenever we get sian to cook in Gage!! Must.. Cook.. At.. Home.. Cheap.. Cheap.. Outside food is expensive!!!

And then I wanted to watch drama, but the computer was on for the whole day, so decided to let it rest for a bit.. So mama dug out this ancient antique!

Yes, it's a Nintendo.. Not a Wii, but Super Famicon! It's the Nintendo of the age of dinosaurs..

I surprised myself by successfully connecting it, and we started playing all the old familiar games!!

Like Flipull..

Super Mario Land..

Mickey's Chase

The Rainbow Hippo Adventure..

Took nice cloud pictures too.. Looks like opening scene of The Simpsons..

Another beautiful sunset today..

BenQ:

Pentax:

I was using my tripod.. Very fun, should do it more often with Pentax, cos BenQ lens are dusty.. But it's cool cos you can actually see the movements if you put all the pictures in a slideshow..

One last cloud picture.. Superb!!

And Ppl came home around 7pm and we had dinner.. Now blog finish gonna TV, then maybe drama!! =) Tomorrow no plans, maybe more gaming and drama? *_*

Pictures, and a rant

Oh yes forgot to mention that I got cheapo sandals yesterday, while walking home from Heartland Mall.. They are the typical ones with straps crossed over the big toe and straps over the ankle.. Pretty brown, with several sparklies..

Pictures?

Okay, please shut up about my ugly feet..

Here's other random pictures taken everywhere..

Downstairs, in the private housing lane.. Very good day.

Making of the banana Nutella big-mac!

Macro shot of the finished product!

Many layers.. Pretty?

Homemade sandwich and canned soup.. A look into the crystal ball, which predicts what kind of meals I'll be making in the near near near future! (Less than 2 months!!)

Okay, time for a rant as the title promises..

Ppl was booking air ticket for mama, and something messed up cos he was blur and did not uncheck the Insurance portion, so end up we had to pay an extra fee.. Last time while booking mine and his, I cleverly spotted it and reminded him to uncheck it, and this time I didn't want to bother with it to avoid friction so nobody reminded him and this is his own forthcoming..

Then later on we didn't receive the ticket in the email, so I thought they payment didn't go through whatever, and I went back to see.. Then end up okay already, and luckily never re-book it again, or else pay double? And he scold me for doing everything so fast (ie. making a fast decision to go back and confirm whatever..)..

He say whatever I do on computer is like so rushed and hasty, but other things also don't see me do so fast.. Hello, what is that supposed to mean? Who's the dilly dally one around the house huh! Personal attack okay.. More like the pot calling the kettle black!! Hmmph.

And then last night we were looking at some other stuff, and mama merely said something she was unsure of and he accused her of being so sure about it.. Hello, she already said she was unclear!! Anyhow put words in people's mouths!! I didn't want to bother, so I just sat far far away and pretend nothing's happening..

Good thing he just went out! Now me and mama can cook in peace without him nagging every single second.. And we just called him to ask if he brought out the correct bag, cos he was supposed to pass something to the agent.. Then he rudely said he knew what he was doing, and he was going to pass something else to someone else too, so he was carrying 2 bags.. Like who's gonna know that unless you actually bother TELLING us?? Can't stand this nonsense lah..

Okay, cooking and drama time!

Day out at AMK

Okay so in the end we went out at 12+ to AMK, visit Ppl's friend's shop.. First we had lunch at a very pretty coffeeshop.. AMK408 Foodhouse or something like that?? I had chicken cutlet rice, not too bad.. And then 2pm went to visit the shop.. Talk until 3pm, and then we went to AMK Hub..

Walk around, actually it's quite boring there.. But we managed to find a nice animal bolster for the baby party this Saturday.. Walk until about 5pm then go home, super heavy rain, so me and mama went to Heartland Mall walk walk.. Then go NTUC shop for pasta ingredients.. Wah, until nearly 7pm lor! Siao one.. Tomorrow we're gonna cook =)

And then went home, slack, then Ppl went to buy dinner, ate at 8pm++.. 9pm watch TV, then super sleepy! Dunno why lah.. Now online a bit then gonna sleep le.. Tomorrow COOK!!! And drama!!!

La la rhymes with nua nua

Hahaha last night watched episode 5 of TSD, and then went Youtubing again.. And then found a bunch of nice piano scores.. =)) I miss playing piano! All my songs surely rot liao la, so long never play!! :( 2 more months till I can play again?!

Slept at 1am, woke up 9+, made banana Nutella big-mac again.. Now watching TSD.. Finished episode 6 le.. Now moving on..

Supposed to be going out with Ppl, to visit one of their friends' shop.. But anyhow say also never confirm one, now also dunno whether is really going out or anyhow say one leh.. I don't like going out with Ppl.. No confirmation of plans, never say what time go out, go out also surely damn late go out, that results in me starving like mad, and then make me unable to make plans for the rest of my day (ie. how much to nua and whatnot).. I'd much rather go out with friends?!

Jackson Browne - Let It Be Me

Timothy B. Schmit and Jackson Browne - Let It Be Me

I bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me.

Don't take this heaven from one,
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me.

Each time we meet, love,
I find complete love.
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me.

If for each bit of gladness
Someone must taste of sadness
I'll bear the sorrow, let it be me.

No matter what the price is
I'll make no sacrifices.
Through each tomorrow let it be me.

To you I'm praying,
hear what I'm saying.
Please, let your heart beat
for me, just me.

And never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me,
Let it be me.

Nua Nua Day

Today was basically a slack day, a proper Sunday of family time.. Which is really unusual for me!! I'm still getting used to this family thing ya..

Woke up at 10+, ate breakfast, and then tidied up the house cos the neighbour's mother wanna buy a house and wants to come see see.. So after they came at 12+, we decided that we were going out for lunch, and then wanted to go AMK Hub one, but end up my muscles aching (must be all the shoving yesterday) then end up go Hougang Point only lah..

Dilly dally until nearly 2pm+ then reach there, so hungry! Ate Kopitiam, so boring.. And then walk around, saw a really nice pan/pot thingy!! And saw a nice shopping cart at Xtra! Omg, I'm getting so domesticated even before I start cooking for myself.. It's ridiculous I tell you~~~ I'm feeling auntie-fied already!

Then around 5pm went back, go online, uploaded pictures and TV.. Watched Fallen Angel, turned out to be a boring show.. Just watched yesterday's taped episode, then today's at 7pm, until 8pm then we had dinner.. Rice and stuffs again..

Now 9:30pm, slack somemore then 10pm watch March of the Penguins! Love that documentary..

Oh yea, the pushcart lady called me again today, just 2 days after she called me about working on 25, 26 and 27 July.. LOL she forgot she called me.. But anyway it will be good to have some extra moolah in my pocket.. I wanna get a thumbdrive! But not exactly sure about it yet.. I can never stop buying electronics!! =_=
