Mom saw review from the above link and remember Dad brought us to try 2 weeks ago...

Both Dad and Mom think it is over rating especially the Char-Grilled Honey Glazed Pork Belly Ribs with Barbeque Sauce.

The pricing is on the high side too. I doubt we will go back there again. Sad to say, I like their soup of the day thot... Hope Dad will change his mind but very unlikely.

Keep in up, Uncle McDonald

Few days ago, Mom's wrote a feedback letter to McDonald about her unhappiness of her last McDelivery order. She received a half filled french fries. She was hungry and very unhappy when she saw it. As they said, a hungry men is an angry men.

So today, the McDonald's Outlet Manager called on her cell phone, apologised for the "half filled french fries" and would like to compensate her with 2 large fries for her next McDelivery.

She said "No thanks" but they insisted.

To be honest, Mommy don't enjoy "giving feedback" but on the other hand, if she wants to see improvement during her next visit. She would do it lor... Otherwise, she will delete and stop patronizing those blacklisted shop/outlet/restaurant.

In conclusion, "No feedback doesn't mean good feedback" in Mom's case.

Art Class...not for children but older

Recently, Mom heard people commented that howcome Singapore has such a good education but nothing on Art for older children? Well she knows there is a NAFA, LASALLE, that's it! Hmm...this set her thinking, yah hor? She always see "Art for Children 5 - 7 yrs old" or "Pottery or Ceremic Class for Children" blah...blah...blah...

She thought maybe she been living in the well for too long...Actually, there are courses for older children or Teenages even adult. In general, most adult Singaporeans are busy working to bring home more bacon so much so that their children are able to attend enrichment classess of their interest. Do they? They had neglected their own needs or hobby and interest.

So here are the few links for parents who are interested to enrol their Teenages kids for Art classes, of course Adult are welcome too:

So next time, when I heard people said "Singapore don't have art classes or courses for young adult or adult", I will prompt them to Mom's finding.

free tatoo from NTUC

Followed Mom to Fairprice and while shopping, there is a jiejie doing free tattoo for kids. I asked Mom if I can have one and of course, free one -- sure can. Mom continue her shopping, pay for the stuffs before coming to fetch me. I thanked the jiejie and leave for home. What a treat! Mom compliment that it is nicely done and we should take a photo for souvenir before its gone.

Priceless glass container

Mom is having difficulty to find a decent big glass container so she turn to Ah Ma for help. Luckily, she has a spare one in her cupboard. Mom is so happy and Ah Gu is going to bring the container to her. Happily she told me that she can start her learning journey of making enzyme, showing me other people's blog about those enzyme drinks they have made. I asked her "What is that? What is enzyme?" She replied impatiently that I wouldn't understand even if she explain to me and just help her to drink when ready. I asked any name for this drink? If not, I am going to name it first before drinking.

Don't worry about me getting LS, cause I'm sure that Mom will test the water first and make sure it is safe before letting me drink. All mother are kaisu and this is because they love us dearly and only give me what is the best.

200% return

Mom forgot to bring her handphone today.

So after our shopping and before calling Dad, we search for a public phone in Takashimaya Department Store. We found one and Mom told me to insert a 10cents coin, press the mobile number, say hello to Dad before passing her the phone. Shortly after Mom put down the phone, I heard a "cling" sound and I'm surprised that it return a 20cents coin to us.

I was so excited and showed Mom what I've found. A lucky coin for moi. Must keep, must keep.

When we saw Dad, I told him excitedly about my lucky coin and suggest to Mom that next time we will use a public phone to call Dad instead from her handphone. Then I will have chance to find another lucky coin. What a good idea?

Happy 43rd Birthday, Singapore!

前进吧！新加坡！

我要和你一起努力，建造更美好的家园。

Macritchie Nature Walk

Sighting at Macritchie Walk, along Chemparai Trail...we completed the 2.0km broadwalk trail. Luckily, the monkey is quite docile today as we heard tales about them creating havoc to visitor of the park. But, who to blame? If people stop feeding them, they will not dare to approach human for food.

PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE MONKEY. Thanks!

We also saw birds, tortoises, fishes, water skippers or gliders, termites and many many more...

ichiban AMK

After my haircut @ QB... and We had quite a tasty lunch at ichiban AMK.

my kiddy lunch cost $8.90++

for Mom, cost $16.90++ (sadly, the ginger chicken does not meet Mom expectation. She still prefer stir-fried giner pork instead of deep fried one)
