I went to my blog and the first thing that struck me was... who turned on the lights arh? ok blahhhh.......... that sounds lame. Well, Sherin helped to edit the lighting of my blog banner picture. Weeeeee........... Appreciated :D

Gw was away so I was alone in this house for the past few nights. When I was struggling to get to sleep at 2am. I heard some noises like click click click then hmm hmm hmm coming from the living room. I covered myself in blankets and pretend it was just me hallucinating. Damn scared sia. I'm not those crazy people in horror shows who got up in the middle of the night to check it out. And the nights after that, I slept with all lights and music on. HAHAHA!!!

Some updates: We had some gathering and potluck at Yau Chong's place last Saturday. Loads of goodies, and I love the roasted pork and sambal prawn....Yum yum yum yummy!!!!

FOOD!!! This is what i call FOOD!!!!

FOOD fans

The wives gang

In the middle of all the fun, we see smoke outside the window

Typical Singaporeans... so kaypo! But what actually happened?

I have no idea, I guessed someone set fire in the tunnel or what. The fireman took care of everything.

Mahjong! Kersin's all time favourite past time.

At the same time, there are poker and black jack sessions at the other table

The infamous god-of-gambler-pose. 四 条 ACES!

i didn't know i can make chicken rice!

COME AND CELEBRATE MY VICTORY BY ENJOYING MY CHICKEN RICE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES..... Kersin I know u are drooling now.

I use only chicken leg because i hate the breast meat. So dry and tough and hard to swallow.

Top view. The chilli also diy one, but very spicy duno why.

In case you didn't know, this angle is supposed to emphasize the rice...

And now the chicken in the limelight. Gw ate it and gave thumbs up, my first attempt and he say can fight with the Katong chicken rice already ok!

Last but not least, I want to give credits to recipezaar.com because they make miracles like "Cindy can cook chicken rice". I should start a chicken rice business here.

my my my my my apartment

ok yingchieh, so I'm finally going to post some pictures of my apartment. Like I told u before it's not fully done yet, however the basic stuff are up...

So here we go:

The is our front door and hallway, when we enter there are some racks and hooks on the left to hang jackets and stuff. That time when at ikea we forgot to buy shoe rack, so we temporary store our shoes on these racks until we get a cheap decent one.

Our dogs say welcome everytime we stepped in!

After the hallway, we will see the toilet sign... which obviously means toilet. A right turn will bring us to the living room

We have to put up blinds as the light can be glaring during sunset, behind the blinds is our mini garden which we have not work on it at all yet. When we have time, we will place some plants and flowers on the window pane to add a cosy touch to this room.

1 side of the wall was painted red by the previous occupant so we just have to deal with it. All furnitures are bought from Sweden Ikea, and FYI the same piece here costs more than Singapore Ikea. We are planning to get a GREEN carpet for this area and also if we get to travel around Europe, we may put up our travel pictures on the red wall.

Ok, this useless piece of tiger rug was bought by GW, don't understand why he would fancy this piece of rag. Very chor teng leh... We didn't buy any dinning table so this black coffee table is also where we have our meals.

This is the bedroom and computer table, all from IKEA!

Toilet, like I said before blue on white is kinda weird

Kitchen! The place where i concoct poison prepare meals and try out new recipes. The cabinets, oven and fridge are furnished by the landlord.

Check out the place we store our precious Songhe rice!!!!! Very precious... Must ration.

And also Yeo's pkt drinks, maggie mee, Milo and can fruits... We eat them when we miss Singapore (basically, we eat them everyday and is depleting very quickly) GW say we need to save 1 pkt of yeo's to celebrate 2009 chinese new year. How pathetic....


End of tour. Will update my garden if we ever work on it...

gw make sushi

We went to several supermarkets to shop for sushi ingredients and realise the japanese stuff like wasabi, sushi rice, rice vinegar are under the same brand - The BLUE DRAGON. Dunno this dragon is come from where one, very expensive leh. Seaweed was bought from the Malmo bus :)

Remember the BLUE DRAGON

Preparation work

Making it all by himself

Ta-da!!! Looks decent to me :)

Haha, pose with the sushi then can trick everyone I was the one who made them

Gw's new wife

Yes, this newly bought SGD1000 bike is gw's new wife. He provides TLC to his new wife everyday, buy accessory for her and polish her clean clean after he uses it. Never see him so hardworking when I ask him to mop the floor...

karlskrona ice-cream

There is this ice cream shop in karlskrona town that only operate during summer. Quite true also lah, I wonder who will want to eat ice cream during the cold winter.

Really got so nice to eat meh, the queue long until like that

We joined the queue, and finally managed to step into the shop to have a look. And as expected, ALL THE FLAVOURS LISTED ON THE BOARD ARE IN SWEDISH!!!

Don't understand swedish right... nvm, can see the flavours in the fridge. We ordered 2 scoops each, and total bill add up to 60kr (to convert to sgd, u divide by 4).

Wah lau eh, so expensive... The JJ cornetto ice cream in singapore selling $2.50 only.

What you expect... got part time girl making fresh ice cream cone on the spot one leh.

A nice cosy area for dine-in customers

GW is having "After Eight" and "Chocolate", Me ordered "Rum & Raisin" and "Banana Chocolate". U see the ice cream is humongous!!! So worth the 60kr :)

especially dedicated to my mama because she is so cool like that

Dunno why... Suddenly i wanted to blog about my mother, maybe because mother's day was few days ago that's why.


She called me on Mother's day to inform me it's Mother's day and the day after is her birthday and the day after the next is her chinese lunar calendar birthday. And she was complaining to me that Sharon and Russell (my dearest siblings) refused to buy chicken wings for her even though it's Mother's day and she was so craving for it. Damn funny.


She is such a cool mother to have.

I wanted to take ballet lessons when I was younger, and she asked me if I've ever seen an elephant doing ballet before.


Like every chinese year, she will force us to wish her YONG YUAN QING CHUN MEI LI (stay youthful & pretty always) to get her hongbao.


She hogs on the soccer channel everynight and when we protest she retaliated by saying she is the one who paid for the cable TV. So shut up and go to sleep!!!!


When me and russell go for supper at our favourite 24hr Macdonalds downstairs, as fillial children we asked her if she wanted anything. She will say no, wo zai jian fei (I'm on diet). And when we came back, she will ask us to buy her a Mac Chicken.


She was the one who introduced me to ice-skating, canoeing, rollerblading and brought me to KTV sessions when I was in Primary 4.


I fractured my arm when I was 14 years old, got admitted to TTSH. It was exam period and I sneaked out to do some ice skating with my friends. I thought she will scold me when she sees me in this state but she didn't. It was then she bought her first mobile phone which was that time ah beng's favourite ericsson model, so that my father could contact her when she's in the hospital.


Before I left for sweden, I asked her if she will miss me when I'm not around. Her reply was: If u miss me, mail me a airticket lah.


On the day she came to send me off at the airport T3. Every other mother there have swelling eyes and tears but mine told me to go in faster there are many things to see in T3 transit. Go go go!!!


When I was in the transit, and for the first time in my life, she send me a sms saying she love me. I didn't reply her that time and I really regretted it so much. Mummy, I wanna tell you I am thankful for all the things you have done for me, even if I gana abducted by aliens & get brainwashed, I will never forget the love and kindness you showered me.


I MISS YOU SO MUCH! Happy mother's day and birthday to you this year, next year and the year after. I really hope this 3 years will pass very quickly, i simply miss hanging out with you.

I need sambal to cook my curry

I was blending onions, dried chilli, garlic and ginger to make sambal. Gw saw me tearing non-stop and passed me his goggles to solve the problem. And he took my ugly photo!

This picture is blur due to poor lighting

it's Wii day!

We were invited to dinner at Dennis and Catherine's place, and after that it's Wii time until 10pm. Dennis sent us all home after that, and we popped by Lua's apartment (our neighbour) and it's more Wii time at their place.

Part 1 @ Dennis place: Gw and Kester playing against each other.. Some tennis game, which was quite boring because they are expert and u see the ping pong ball going to and fro like a million times before somebody miss it...

Part 2 @ Lua's place: The legendary boxing game i heard from Holly. Gw took over me after i KO-ed Lua during round 1. My arms felt numbed like I've done 100 push-ups, but is really fun lah.

Seems like Wii is the hottie nowadays...

the Malmo bus

today there is a bus coming from Malmo and they say we can buy chinese groceries!!! Groceries which are classified as exotic here. And I found my dried chilli there, now can cook curry liao!

Picture of the Malmo bus, basically it's an old laoyah bus with all the seats removed.

Snapped a picture while shopping in the bus, it's quite cramp here so not convenient to take pictures lah.. See, they put up the racks and also nicely furnished with freezers to keep frozen stuff like fish and prawns etc. I was craving for luncheon meat, but too bad they don't have it.

I saw chye sim and bought it right away. In local supermarket they only have broccoli, broccoli and broccoli. Eat until sian man... They never fix the price tags for the stuff they are selling, so we grab like machiam they are FOC. In the end, we spent $590 kronos in this bus!!! I think the boss anyhow whack the prices.

gw cut my hair

gw cut my fringe because the saloon here is EXPENSIVE. He proudly proclaim this is his most satisfied cut he had ever done for me. My face looked abit like 3 days never pung sai liao.

This one more chio, please pretend you never seen the previous one

becoming a bummer

today is the fifth day since gw started, and i think im turning into a bummer! Other than the daily 3 meals intake, im practically surviving on cable tv and internet and occassionaly visits to Kexin's place to watch DVDs.

OK, so the cable tv is screening charlie and the chocolate factory AGAIN.. Most of the channels are in swedish, even cartoon network characters are speaking swedish!! Somebody please send me to learn swedish together with those 5 year old kids in kindergarten school.

Though Jacky told me it's bloody hot nowadays in Singapore, and people strolling along Orchard Rd can catch a fire easily. But still, I miss being in Singapore where you have everything within your reach! I miss going to the kopitiam to order chicken rice, I miss seeing people playing guitar at void decks. I miss taking MRT rides where u can go almost anywhere in Singapore. I miss seeing english words. I miss chilli padi, although neighbour say I can grow my own chilli at my garden but I do not want to die from any form of food poisoning yet.

Last but not least, I MISS PERSPIRING!!! The weather is so cooling, when I do vacuuming, mopping, laundry... I still look very good because i hardly sweat at all. People jogging outside do not have sweaty bodies or wet messy hair. I guess they can go on a date straight after the workout. I got desperate I went to buy a skipping rope.. Yeah, and skip at home with a jacket and all windows closed... I managed to squeeze out some perspiration

Another Indian song after MUTTON GO YAY!
