BF with Karin at Cafe Cartel BP.

Nice looking coffee cup

Then went Suntec to buy the travel insurance as they are having a travel fair and giving 20% discount. Supporter of Chartis Travel Insurance especially after the good experience last year. Shop shop a bit. Didnt buy anything as we were on budget

Went airport to send off Karin as she's going back to Hangzhou. It will be our turn to fly in less then 4 weeks. Yippee.

Our lunch at Polar T1.

Our dinner. Homemade Kimchi Seafood Soup.

Went IMM to do marketing for tonight's steamboat feast. Last week's pathetic steamboat dinner couldnt satisfy our crave so decided to prepare our own steamboat dinner.

Kids do their hw, Kennie preparing for the steamboat dinner and I do area cleaning,  Karin came over to stay for a night. She will be going back Hangzhou tmr and the kids have been pestering her to come over..


Went Lot One to buy assessment book for Veona. Sian. Her results are deproving. Confisticated her phone. Can only use it on weekend. The staff from popular recommended us many assessment books. Was so confused by her recommendation, she sounded as if every book is a must buy. Didnt buy all her recommendation as it's very ex and dun noe if she will have time to do all of them or not.

Getai at our block

Free performance for us 

Called up Hotel TS to cfm my reservation. But the date in their system was different from the date that I booked. OMG! What Happened? Did I tell the staff a different date when I made the booking or did the staff booked the wrong date for me? No point pointing fingers now. What I need to do now is to book the room.

The date tat we want are fully booked. Frantically check for review of other hotels but most hotels around Ximending are already fully booked as well. Found Wonstar I which is also right smack in the heart of Ximendng but it's more ex. But no choice, Beggars can't be choosers. It will be around $100+ more ex. The hotel room looked bigger, 1 double size and 1 single bed.

Wend Sis's place to 拜年. So fast, it's the 2nd last day of CNY.

Sis and Mum prepared so much nice food for us. Not much pics cause they hoot the food before I lay my hand on my camera.

Nian Gao (year cake) More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nian_gao

Mum's speciality - Another type of Nian Gao (Shanghai Nian Gao)

Kids went for CCA. Our Bf at IMM.

Nothing much for today. Just stayed at home.

Went 7th Storey Steamboat @ Marina Barrage to collect the Steamboat set that we ordered from Groupon.com.  It claimed to feed 6 pax but it's barely enough for the 4 of us. Food choices are also very limited and not fresh.

Soup and chilli sauce

Our new steamboat induction cooker

CNY celebration at Villa Francis Old folks home. Our Co. adopted this home so this year's CNY celebration was decided to be held her. We engaged an event co. to organise the games for us. Lots of stage games where we invited the old folks to join us. The old folks must be very happy that we were there to spend the day with them.
