Had lunch at Rocky's pizza yesterday. It has shifted from Railway Mall to Sunset Way a few months back. Standard has dropped significantly, everything tasted so bland. The only plus point is that the service is very good. Maybe we are the only customers and so the waiter is giving us the full attention.

Veona are getting more and more violent. Kicked Videl today while they were playing. So pissed off with her. Sometime I wondered whether they will grow up being rebellious or not. I have many colleagues with teenager kids and most of them are giving their parents problems. They are so well behaved and stick to their parents when they are young but the moment they turned teenage, everything changed. They are no longer the obedient kids and friends are the only thing that they care. Sigh... I really hope these days will never come.

Feeling very tired this few days as I started off the week with a morning run and PT session. My Company run has been changed to Mon, Weds and Fri instead of Tues and Thurs with immediate effect. Super shack to start a Mon with run.

Poor Kennie. Hasn't recovered from her sickness and it's getting worse. So sick that she has no voice. She's on MC today and I took half day leave to accompany her.

The kids must be feeling very bored as Justin and Jodie are away for holiday the next few days. Mil will be feeling blue too cause his precious son and grandson are not around.

A bit disappointed with this year's bonus. Will only be getting 2 mths and another 0.5 mths in Mar. Why can't they give everything together? Anyway, there's nothing left after budgeting for CNY, Christmas, insurance, wedding ang pao etc. Sian 1/2

A boring weekend. Spent most of our time at home as Kennie was sick. The only place we went is Downtown East on sat evening. Sis and her friends rented 4 chalets. We don't even need to dirty our hands doing the barbecuing as there's maids to BBQ for us. What a good service that they provide. Kennie's condition got worse after inhaling in the smoke from the BBQ.

TGIF - Thank God it's Friday.

Lazy to blog last few days. Anyway, it's just a normal week.

On Mon, went to IMM to collect the secret recipe cook book for the rice cooker. Ended it's just a few pages cook book. Still thought it's something fantastic or we would not have return back to collect it.

Celebrated Xiu Xiang's bday in the office. We played a trick on him. Get him to blow a cup cake instead of a birthday cake. Can see the disappointed look in him. So funny.

Poor Kennie. She's sick since Weds. She's on urgent leave on Fri as she was too sick to travel to work. Didn't see a doc as she has seen her Co. doc on Thurs and she's also worried that she might faint on the way to see the doc. I'm such a good hubby. Went back home to accompany her during lunch time.

I must tighten my belt this few months. Kanna 5 red bombs for Dec & Jan. 1 of it is Philip's wedding and my whole family will be going to his dinner. Siong Ah.

My running records for 5km. Mon: 21.10 mins. Weds:20.50 mins. Fri: 22.00.

Lunch at Taman Jurong. Saw Quan Yifeng and Kym hosting a variety show. Think it's some food variety show. They look prettier in person

Shopping at IMM. Bought a Baby play pram for Soo Mee. It's shared between Ann, Sihui and Kennie. Bought a rice cooker. So expensive, it cost $160. Luckily we have the Best rebate, so paid $80+ for it. The sales person claim that there's Artificial Intelligence but don't quite understand the function of the AI.


Went to Soo Mee's house to deliver the pram and help her to setup the pram.

We had an afternoon of fun baking our own pizza. Had a hard time separating the ready made pizza crust. There's actually 4 crust in 1 packet and they all got stuck together. The crust broke when we tried to separate it. We almost wanted to give up and throw away the crust but finally managed to separate it. Will try to make the crust ourselves next time. The Pizza simply tasted yummy.

Sold the old TV to the Garang Guning Man for $25. Though it's just a small amount but it's better than nothing and we do not need to dispose it ourselves. Had a hard time cleaning up the mess behind the TV console. Super Dirty.

Brought the kids to the library to borrow books.It's school holiday so they have more time to read.

Prema invited us to her house for Deepavali. Sharon brought her son along too. So cute.

Kids stayed overnight at sis's house again. Going church tomorrow.

Went to Plush, the former Momo and Velvet Dragon. Don't understand why they keep changing name though it's under the same management. Quite desserted as compared to Momo. Didn't really enjoy as the music sucks and the people danced very funny. Left around 1+ and walked to Lunar but didn't go in as there's cover charge. The waiver of entry using HSBC CC is before 11.

Inside Plush

Ran 5km at 21.10 min, a bit improvement as compared to Tues (22.15mins). Getting slower as compared to early part of the year. Getting slacker or older? Think it's both.

So angry with Videl that I caned her. She's supposed to play piano but turn a deaf ear to my instruction. Gave Veona another chance as I have instructed her to call me if Videl doesn't want to play but they ended playing the whole day.

Wasted my morning attending a Seminar for the new transport system. Sneak out during the FAQ session. Can't stand those people asking irrelevant questions so I rather excused myself.

Kennie and I were on half day leave to spend some private moment together. Bought a 42 inches LG LCD TV at Best Denki but it will only be delivered next Sun. Quite a no. of stuff that I need to buy but ended buying nothing again as I was quite stingy. Just hope that the year end bonus is good this year so that I can buy more things.

We decided to cook a romantic dinner as we are not bringing the kids back tonight so we went to Jason Supermarket to buy steak and red wine. The steak turn out to be quite tasty though it's our first time cooking it but we made a mess to our kitchen.

Damn unlucky day. Raining heavily in the morning. Had an accident with a stupid taxi early in the morning. The light turned amber and the driver jammed his break just right at the stop line. Following closely behind him, I jammed the brake as hard as I could. The floor was slippery and it's a down slope and my car kissed his backside. Both of us got down our vehicle and checked our car. Heng Ah! No damage. After preaching me, he drove away since there's no damage. After his preaching, it's Kennie's turn to preach. Super Fan lor. When I reached office, I checked my car and half of the bumper was cracked. My heart was super pain. If the workshop is not able to mend it, it would mean that I need to change a new bumper. A new bumper would mean $$$ and inconvenience as I would need to repeat the process of breaking the seal for my OPC number place. Sian 1/2.

Pre-audit check. Think it's a waste of my precious time.

Breakfast at Lavendar Food Centre again

Nice Beef Noodle

Chicken with salted fish rice. Nice too

Brought the kids to the Church at New Creation Suntec City. Handed them over to the Jie Jie, Kor Kor at the Church and we went shopping. So bad of us.

At Karin's house. Taking some pic before going to Church

Collected back Kennie's N80 from Nokia Care Centre. Repair cost is $50+, so much cheaper than what was quoted. Met Lian Fei to settle our insurance policies, upgraded our Healthshield policies and bought the pink of health policies. Guessed he must be quite disappointed as we didn't buy the investment policy from him despite his pestering.


Walked around Lucky Plaza to check out the price of the N80. There's a shop that quoted us $230 but think he must have quoted us too much. In the end, he kept slashing price as he said that it's not the IE version and the memory card is too small bla bla bla so we finally settled for $210. After bringing our HP to Gods know where and testing out the phone, he told us that he would not be able to buy it as there's some problem with the mouth piece. Crap!! Bullshit!! But at least we got back back our phone as we were quite worried that he might sneak away and changed a spoilt phone to us. We tried another shop and he willing take it for $200. His service was also good and he doesn't look like a conman,

Fetched the kids from Suntec and had dinner at ECP Food Centre. Resorted to illegal parking as the carpark was full and the whole ECP was infested with people.


Food was ex expensive and the quality was pathetic. I was fuming with anger for the quality and quantity to even remember to take a picture. Think the only few stalls worth eating are the Wanton Mee, Beef Noodle, Satay Bee Hoon and BBQ Chicken Wings.

Lunch was home cooked spaghetti with minced beef and mushroom. My version tasted a bit bland while Kennie's version tasted better.

Home cooked spaghetti with minced beef and mushroom

Had dinner with Agnew and Jo. We tried Aston Specialties, a western food restaurant at East Coast Road. The food there was really very cheap, western food at only $6. It's even cheaper than Food Court and the Western Food at Margaret Drive Food Centre. Serving was generous and the food is of good standard.

Fish & Chip

Prime Ribeye

Black Pepper Steak

Prime Sirloin

Went to Cosy Bay at Tanjong Rhu intending to chill out there but was disappointed with the place. The whole place look quite peaceful but it's a bit rundown. The bridge linking Cosy Bay and Stadium Waterfront looks quite like the Fisherman Bridge at Danshui Taiwan. Brought back nice memories of Taiwan and making me more persistent to go back to Taiwan again.

Nice view

Disppointed by the rundown state of Cosy Bay, I suggested going to a dessert Cafe at Holland Village. Not knowing the exact location, we circled round and round Holland Village looking for it. We were so happy when we finally found that place. It's a nice chill out place with comfortable sofa and nice ambience. This place is called 2AM Dessert Bar and it's specialized in dessert. Thought it's going to be our frequent hangout place but the price is really ex. Average price of dessert is around $15 and it comes in only a small portion maybe not even enough for 1 people. Each dessert is paired with a wine in the menu, though it's not a must to order the wine but it's recommended as the dessert will taste nicer with the wine. As the price is really at a higher side, we exit the place without ordering. It's really very paiseh but it's better than burning a big hole in our pockets.

Ended having normal dessert at Holland Village Food Centre. Haha.

On off today. Another week of long weekend. As usual, I woke up early to send the kids to Mil's house. Performing my duty as a sweet husband, accompanied Kennie to her workplace. Hate the peak hour crowd in the station. Uncivilized people dashing into the train, not giving up the seat to someone in need etc. An idiot was leaning his whole body against the pole leaving no space for the rest of the commuters to hold. I purposely hit his head and said : "Yucks! It's so dirty". Haha. That guy stared at me and I was laughing inside me. It's quite lucky that I don't have to take MRT to work everyday or I would definitely be quarrelling with those inconsiderate people everyday.

Amoy Street Prawn Noodle at PSA Building. It came with pig intestine. Very very nice.

Visited Mum at sis's house. Mum forced me to eat the porridge that's for Cara and Crystal. Tasted quite nice but make me feel like baby.

Supposed to meet Kennie's for lunch but she has another appointment with her ex boss. Ended shopping alone in town and only managed to buy 2 Polo T. Queued for almost 2 hour at Nokia Care Centre to send in Kennie's phone for repair. Was quoted around $120 for the repair.

The 2 monsters helping each other to take photo in their room.

Happy Deepavali to all Hindu. It's holiday for us too. BF at Lavender FC. The food centre is very big with lots of nice food. Will come back again to try the rest of the stalls.

This stall is quite famous selling Mee Chiam Kuey. It's not just ordinary Mee Chiam Kuey with peanut or red bean paste. This store has special filling like sambal chilli, hot dog, tuna and many many types. It looks more like pizza.

Ham with Cheese Mee Chiam Kuey

Actually I came here for the prawn noodle. Heard good review of this stall but was quite disappointed with it especially the chilli powder. It tasted like those indian curry powder.

Long House Popiah - 1 of the famous popiah stall in Sg with many stalls in different parts of Sg. Nothing fantastic about it. Tasted just like a normal popiah

This stall sells very nice fish porridge. Fish is fresh and the soup is tasty.

Wanted to visit Granny but she's not around so went to Karin's house instead. So paiseh, she's doing her housework and we went there to disturb her. Went to Ten Dollars Club again. 5 hours of singing. My voice became hoarse after the long hour of singing.

Heard that there's a nice Western Food at Margaret drive so we went there to check it out. Queued for almost 30 mins as it's self service. Coffee shop food with food court price but the serving is quite big. The food is not really very fantastic, kind of disappointed as I was expecting much more than that. Maybe it's due to the long wait and the oily smell that I was exposed to that made me lose my appetite.
Ye Lai Xiang? Sound like those sleazy bar.
The Menu. Expensive food in this rundown hawker
Sirloin Steak. A bit hard and chewy
Fish & Chip. Quite average

Chicken Cutlet - quite nice but the sauce spoil the whole thing. Chicken cutlet should be crispy and dry, and not wet and soggy.

Chicken Chop - Not bad. Chicken is quite tender
