Busy BUSY BUSY to the MAX~

No joke! I have been really busy back then till i finished the last assignment of my sems and finally now waiting for exam! So i decided to spend my Sunday which i happened to be OFF with my family! And guess what we did?! Decided to be tourists in Singapore! HAHAHHAHA!

Having the cable car promotion for FOR POSB/ DBS, NTUC CARDHOLDERS & SINGTEL CUSTOMERS- We bought our tickets at only $15.60/pax! It's used to be $26 lo, which i doubt my mum will never want to waste the money on such a ride. But bcos of this promo, she was actually the one suggesting us to take cable car!

Family photo~

After the family outing, went to Ikea with friends! Going Ikea with the right person would be really good! We had so much fun in Ikea, all the way talking about beds, cupboard, mirror, kitchen and etc. Telling them how much i wanted my room to be like this and like that~ and them telling me how much they wanted their kitchen to be like this and like that in their hse. Oh yea, they are some chefs, that's why they LOVE kitchen so much. Hhahha! And me, rather lazy person, i LOVE my bedroom! HAHAHHA!

I bake a cake today!

It's my daddy birthday! And i spent my whole day baking a rather kiddish cake but i did my best alrdy uh! It's my first time baking a real birthday cake! And i believed the next time will be much better! HAHAHAH! But nevertheless, my dad LOVE IT! He even took a selfie with it though i dont have it with me. HAHAHHA! He is a pretty cute daddy and entertain our whole family. Happy Birthday Daddy!

Went for Dim Sum breakfast today as a celebration of Daddy's Birthday! YUM CHA AT CHINATOWN! First time going there actually. Food there was rather nice and i think all of us enjoyed but !!! It's so expensive! Definitely worth going!

CNY 2014

Hihi! Happy Lunar New Year! Very busy recently with school and work. School assignment is way too much. LOL or maybe im just so not used to assignment. Because of school, i've to arranged my roster and ended up i've to work on CNY eve. Sister is kind enough to give me morning shift so that i could have my reunion dinner with family. <3

As usual, reunion dinner at home with family. Steamboat + the grill thingy. Trying my best to stay awake for the night for the traditional thing which people said that kids should stay awake in the night till dawn and this will help their parents to live longer. It called "守夜". But i woke up at 5.30am on CNY eve for work. I SRSLY CANT STAY AWAKE! hahahah! it's miracle that i can last till 12mn. LOL.

CNY DAY 1
As usual, uncle'hse then go home and rot. HAHHAHA! Went to watch The Lion Men with dad and mum for night movie. I think i preferred ABTM. TLM is kind of boring, just that it's filled with lots of laughter. If i know there is part 2 for TLM i may not have choose to watch this movie. =.="

CNY DAY 1 - OOTD

CNY DAY 1 - FAMILY PHOTO <3

Taipei Day 3

Last day in Taipei, we decided to go to Taipei 101 there for Starbucks located level 35, at the same time for scenery. It was raining heavy but we have to take the RED LOVE photo - mission of the day! LOL

RED LOVE. LOL

Managed to get the visitor pass up to Taipei 101's Starbucks. Guide from Gallivantingreg.com

After then, went back to Minsu area for last minute shopping! XIMENDING! LOL! And yes, as planned to have our lunch @ the Modern Toilet. Dad and mum seems to have enjoyed themselves very much in the restaurant. My suggestion - if u want to eat here, make it the first stop before shopping @ximending, they are always full house and expected waiting time will be around 40mins and they will give you a call once tables are ready. But we are consider lucky i supposed. We managed to get the seats upon reaching. LOL

Back to Minsu and grabbed our luggage after shopping at Ximending. Had a hard time looking for Taipei West Bus Station Terminal. Finally after almost an 40mins looking for the terminal, we finally found it!! LOL!

Kuo Kuang Bus to Airport DONT DEPART FROM HERE.

 It departs from here, the Taipei West Bus Station Terminal

Taipei Day 2

After a day in Taipei, i realised shops there don't really open very early. U will get to see all shops only starts to open at around 12mn? LOL.

Decided to have our breakfast at 阜杭豆浆店 (Nearest Mrt: Shandaoshi). Upon reaching there. OMG. The queue was SUPER LONG. All the way till almost the mrt station exit. LOL! So we gave up and have our breakfast at 永和豆浆油条 which is just a street away. Youtiao and soya milk taste was fine but definitely not the Xiao Long Bao. LOL! Not juicy at all. Quite fail actually. LOL

Trained to Taipei Main Station and bought the TRA ticket to & fro to RuiFang at $500NTD for 4 pax. Went there with seats allocated and back w/o seats. A very bad decision. Should have bough the tix to RuiFang and at RuiFang bought the return ticket upon reaching. Well. First time.

Cabbed to JiuFen Old street because bus is taking us too long! Waited for 10mins but yet to see any bus. 180NTD to JiuFen i think is absolutely reasonable. LOL

I like this photo eh. Very got feel. LOL

Headed to ShiDa NM after, ShiDa was rather a small scale NM but was quite crowded. I like the Big Intestine Mee Sua there! It tasted pretty awesome. I actually preferred this Mee Sua to Ah Zhong Mee Sua @ XIMENDING. LOL! i didnt have a photo of it, too busy eating. Fully recovered from food poisoning. The grill foods over @Shida was fantastic! The chicken was so juicy and tender. LOL!

Failed to eat hotplate steak the day before, so no matter what! I MUST EAT. Went into the shop @ Shida that actually have hotplate steak and of cos i ate it! LOL!  But Bro said ZIQIAN NM's one was nicer. =((

Self took Family photo on the train

Been and back from Taipei! Taipei Day 1

As i mentioned from my previous post, i should be in taiwan for 6D5N! TAICHUNG - HUALIEN - TAIPEI - TAOYUAN. But I was glad that dad and bro managed to go to taichung and hualien and have lots of fun there.

Alright, nevertheless, i enjoyed myself in taipei!! <3 I like taiwan! Really. Definitely i WILL WANT TO GO BACK AGAIN but of cos not during winter time. LOL.

Yupp yupp. i'll start from upon reaching taoyuan airport... Mum and i took the Freego bus from the bus station at the airport @140/pax to Ximen Mrt. Journey was around 50mins? And upon reaching Ximen, Dad and bro was already waiting for us at the meeting point! HAPPINESS~ LOL

Reached our minsu in like less than 5mins walk from mrt! I LOVE THE MINSU! IS PRETTY!! i love the design of the whole apartment. I WILL DEFINITELY CHOOSE TO STAY THERE AGAIN. AWESOMEEE! And hosts are really nice and helpful. =))

Have our first day in taipei spent at Dansui! Lunch at Ding Tai Fung - but really sad, just recovered from food poisoning with no appetite. I only ate a bit. Hais!

Headed to Dansui via mrt, I like dansui because there are ALOT OF TIE DAN! <3 and not forgetting Yu Su. Hhahahas! Due to winter time, sunset really fast. At 5pm, sky starts to turn dark. AND WE WANTED TO TAKE THE BOAT to Fisherman's wharf, however boat service was only till 5pm. LOL. We had no choice but to take bus 26 there. By the time we reached there, sky have turned totally dark. LOL

Have our night spent at Shilin NM w/o dad and mum as they think travelling the whole day was already very tiring and decided to give NM a missed. LOL. Due to my food poisoning, no appetite, i actuallysay NO to HOTPLATE STEAK! I DIDNT TRIED IT. CAN U BELIEVE?! Bro grabbed some foods at Shilin and i took a few bites. AND THAT'S IT! DAMN YOU FOOD POISONING! 

Everything changes

Everything changes. People changed. And i hate the change. I wish time would rewind. No intentions to elaborate on what happen. It just sucks. Totally spoiled my day. i wished...

Ohyea~ Went to Cuppage Plaza (Gyoza no Ohsho Singapore 餃子の王将) for a meal with Yishi. Food was rather nice but place was rather small. LOL.  I went to Loreal sales! Bought back some loots! =P Bought rather little things this time round. Saving money for my camera! =D After Loreal sales, went to buy my camera!! HEHES! SOOOOOOO I BOUGHT SONY NEX 3N! =DD

Today went to Red Star Restaurant for Dim Sum in the morning and testing out my new camera! <3 It's a restaurant that we used to go with my grandma to celebrate mother's day. A traditional restaurant that have carts of dim sum being pushed around and I saw my favourite paper wrapped chicken so i thought of taking a photo of it when the waitress open up the paper. BUT damn! i was being scolded for taking her photo. LOL! I'm not taking her photo but the chicken in her hands. Nvm, anyway i deleted it to prevent any trouble.

I think pushing carts of dim sum is cool however, it's not possible during peak hours. Upon sitting down, carts that push passed us left with only few dishes (those not so high demand), high demand dim sum like egg tarts, porridge, char siew siu, har kow and etc never seems to come. Then we realised, people start crowding around those waitress who are pushing the cart and get their food from them instead of waiting for them to push to us. Food will never come unless u fight for it! LOL! This is what i felt.

It's very hard to get their attention. Getting them to refill our tea took us some effort too. Bringing the pot to them and get them to pour some hot water for us. =.=" Dim Sum are not as nice a last time. Char Siew Bun was hard. Porridge taste normal. Siew Mai.. ehhh. i don't like. 7-11 might taste better. Oops. LOL

Food - 5/10
Environment - 7/10
Services - 5/10

Brother Birthday Celebration

It's a Saturday! A birthday celebration for bro at KungFu Paradise at 8.30pm, bugis+. LOL! Yea, u might find it funny, a dinner that start at 8.30pm? lOL! Life = work. Cousin have work till 8pm! hahaha!

It's my first time meal-ing at Kungfu Paradise, a lot of people who i know mentioned to me that, it's not very nice, nothing special there. However, my brother strongly recommended their maggie noodles. So i ordered chicken chop noodles. AH HA! Guess what? It's REALLY NOTHING MUCH SPECIAL. I guess i could cook something similar or even better noodles at home. LOL! Chill-lax! Kungfu Paradise - a place to chill and have some wedges and fries is nice, but not for dinner.

My chicken chop noodles. $9++

After meal, it's time to go home!
Here come the joke of the day!
I was walking with my cousin otw out of bugis+, Happen to see this man giving out flyer, as usual, i'll take it. Upon receiving the flyer, i burst into laughter as i realised it's about wedding promotion, followed by the man asking us, ARE YOU GUYS DATING? LOLOLOL!!
I throw the flyer to my cousin to let him have a better understanding why that man asked this qns. LOL! I laughed and my bro who is walking behind us told the man we are a family. LOL!

Ming Kitchen @ Teban Gardens

LOL! Yes! My mum was very angry! It's suppose to be a dinner dine-out!

We thought of just having this simply meal at Ming Kitchen - we ordered Ee Mee and fried rice. Having us waited for more than 25 mins, my dad decided to ask the waitress. However, waitress only replied, yes noted., alrdy cooking w/o even referring to anything.

Another 10 mins passed, the another family who came later than us, got their food! Where's ours?! Ohoh! I can feel that my mum's blood is boiling! LOL!! Having my dad to rush the waitress- FINALLY WE GOT OUR FOOD. $8 For a simply fried rice and ee mee AND A LONG WAIT. Conclusion from us - they choose to cook those dishes than our simple meal OR they have simply overlook our orders. =.=" Mum said: "I'LL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS STALL ANYMORE"

I've decided not to order any food from them anymore too.
1) Pricey as compared to the another stall nearby
2) Waiting time is way too late
3) Food - fried rice are just average

A Funny Family

As per topic, i mentioned in my previous post that my family didnt left me any breakfast! HAHAHA! I went to chinatown again yest to buy my paos, exchange my clothes and money. Not forgetting to tell my mum that i came specially for my paos! LOL!

Mum tried to argue back for not leaving the bun for me. She gave in after then and say: "Go.. go eat la. LOL!" When dad and mum came back home, they have come into a decision to bring me for some dim sum on a sunday morning after my night shift. AHHA! i'm content! <3

I slept the whole sat afternoon in the chalet until SP came and we went cycling for an hr?! LOL! BBQ!! WHAT I've been looking forward to! started at 7pm! =PP Jessie reached! <3 Followed by Yl and lastly serene and edan who came rather late. LOL! All food was prepared by my mum! A little bit tasteless but yea! It's her effort after all. OVERALL ITS NICEEE OKAYYY! LOL! smurf theme = smurf everywhere!

Review of this chalet!
Cleanliness - 7/10 = floor is dirty
Environment - 7/10 = fridge not cold at all, will be better if chair with back support is provided. Water boiler not working. I like it that BBQ pit is just right outside the chalet with a rubbish bin nearby. Aircon belongs to 90s century which water drop sound. LOL! Kind of irriating to my family but not me! LOL, i slept  well!
Lighting - 6/10 = not bright enough, look dull

To choose downtown east vs pasir ris  = i'll vote for downtown.
