Snowy Snowy Japan

2009-03-18T05:44:00.000-07:00

Yes I left for another holiday to Japan and this time I am really fortunate to see SNOW!! I love the feeling of touching and playing around on the snow field very much and I really can't get enough of it. I want to come back during June holiday but Mum told me that it is not feasible and there isn't any snow in June --- It will be summer time in Japan already. Aiyah! I still want to play snow lah...

Too dark to take those photos, most of them didn't turn out very well and Mum hates to take photo with flash...anyway had a wonderful lunch at the Japanese Restaurant but sadly my folks don't have the urge to return for 2nd time, don't know why...

Koya Japan 2008

2008-11-22T04:37:00.000-08:00

Yes, went to Japan for holiday again for the 4th time. It is quite a last minute trip and my family simply love the weather and people. This trip is more relaxing compares to my last trip in 2007. We visited 2 popular onsens (Ikaho and Asama) and highlight of this trip is Mt Haruna, Kamikochi and Jigokudani Yaenkoen (Snow Monkey Park) in Nagona, more information about getting to the park can be obtained from Zeno's Guide not forgetting Mom's favourite pastime -shopping trip too! Mom bought 4 + 1 + 1 bag + pouch + card holder just for herself...tah boleh tahan her...

Flower Nursery

2008-10-04T13:53:00.000-07:00

Flower shopping near AVA today, Dad has the sudden urge to get an indoor water fountain for our house, as we were browsing around, Mum found Asparagus in the nursery, selling $18 per pot. This is my first time seeing asparagus with my own eyes...not my favourite vege but definitely Mum's fav...Pretty!

We are having a great time, this is not only huge but with lots of variety of flowers, plants or trees to suit everyone.

Cotton bud

2008-10-04T11:59:00.000-07:00

Have you seen a "raw cotton bud"? Those we used for applicators for makeup or apply ointment for wound. These are the "unprocess one" Look here...

Swissotel getaway

2008-09-05T20:53:00.000-07:00

Had lunch at Ellenborough Market Cafe, as you can see, Mom gots me a bowl of my favourite cold soba...yum! yum!

In the evening, we had our dinner at 大山头, Dad had a set dinner of shoyu ramen c/w fried rice and egg. Mom ordered pork with rice and gyoza on the side (hmm, I know she ordered the gyoza for me actually...)

There was a short queue in the restuarant and we noticed mostly female patronized this restuarant. A group of ladies sitting next to us ordered additional serving of the egg (picture above), must be good right?

Anyway, my parent are disappointed as the food is below their expectation. Well, as people said, one man food is another man posion.

Nonetheless, we saw a very long queue had built up upon our check-out. Wow! Can't help feeling, we are the odd ones, ha! ha!

http://ieatishootipost.sg/2008/08/cafe-oliv-revisited-ieat-team-review.html

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

2008-08-27T01:05:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-27T00:30:00.000-07:00

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:

Red Sea Gallery

my art space

Phone : +65 96905775

But the most serious one, the don't play play type is Sotheby's Institute of Art - Singapore

Email: info.sg@sothebysinstitute.com
Tel: +65 6305 2600

They have MA Degrees and Post-graduate Diplomas, of course short courses and travel programmes are available 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

2008-08-17T23:55:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-17T23:41:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-14T23:29:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-08-09T22:43:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-05T02:04:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-03T06:19:00.000-07:00

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)

Chek Jawa, Pulau Ubin

2008-07-19T08:30:00.000-07:00

I didn't get to meet Nemo's & friends but I'm sure to come back to Chek Jawa, a trip to Pulau Ubin is so interesting and fun. The food is inexpensive and yummy too! I love the bitter gourd soup.

What to expect in PU?

1st - a bum boat ride at $2.50 per pax.

2nd - Bicycle rental at $2 per day.

3rd - delicious seafood.

4th - old rustic ambiance of Singapore in the 60's

5th - meet & greet with the local wildlife, like pricislla the boar, X's Hei and X's Bei the stray dogs, mud skippers, monitor lizards and many many more.

Lastly, not to forget Nemo's & friends at Chek Jawa and do remember to come during low tide thot...

Oh! something I learn during this trip, PUE stands for Pulau Ubin Expressway. It's fast & furious and hey NO NEED TO PAY ERP!

fried carrot cake

2008-06-20T00:00:00.000-07:00

Went to AMK central with Mom as she needs to run some errands.

We had our lunch at the AMK hawker centre. Honestly speaking, I don't like to eat at hawker centre or kopitiam as I really can't take the heat but not a good excuse and Mom will never give in despite my on going protest.

Anyway, Mom knows best. If she compromise on one thing but she will "compensate" with another. So she ordered my favourite local fair --- FRIED CARROT CAKE WITH BLACK SWEET SAUCE. I eat with delightment anyway.

That's not all, she bought me a cup of ice milo too! What a treat! No complaint for now...

It's here...bravo DHL

2008-06-09T21:06:00.001-07:00

Update @ 10:11pm - all 18 items and I've got the most booty...ha! ha! Thank you, Dad & Mum!

Yay! It's here finally...

This is the first time Mom ordered some stuffs from US and it's just arrived before we leaving for the market. Can't wait for Dad to be home tonight for the grand opening ceremony, after all Dad is the big payer.

Now, Mom don't need to relay on Spree anymore. We can get stuffs and deliver directly to our door step. Good job, CB, Borderlinx & DHL.

Beautiful Sunday

2008-06-08T03:32:00.000-07:00

Note from MOM:
I heard of this song but never make any effort to remember its name...now I KNOW.
Anyway, search in youtube & voila!

moi favourite song now...YELLE Amour Du Sol

2008-06-05T19:03:00.000-07:00

Mommy was surfing online and suddenly I heard this song coming from her room...I shouted & said "Mom! nice song..." So she helped me to local this song from imeem.com and paste the player (but not working, so she use youtube.com then) on my blog, to share with you.

The lyrics by is also obtained from imeem.com

Refrain:

Amour du corps, amour du "flor", amour de la sueur,
Amour des cases sur le sol de toutes les couleurs,
Amour sans question, amour simple, amour pour le coeur,
Je suis en trance comme dit Didier c'est ce qu'il y a de meilleur.

Frappe tes mains, bouge ton corps, c'est comme ca que ca vient
Maillots de bain, maillots de corps, ca nous va si bien
Je chante en Francais des ann�es 80, je n'aime pas le pass�
mais c'�tait quand m�me bien Danse
Tu t'en moque de ce que je dis, je vais quand m�me pas faire un po�me pour
danser que les choses soit claires.
Je n'arrive pas � penser dans ces moment la.
Je me laisse aller, j'fais l'vide autour de moi.

Refrain

Dis, tu m'offres un cacollac, pour me donne la gniac
Tu m'pr�sentes les DJ's,de cette super belle boite
Je suis s�re de les connaitre, ils �taient dans ma fac,
mais ils ne parlaient qu'aux mec, j'trouvais ca super "what".
Tu m'passes ton bandana, il est vraiment trop smart,
Si j'vais les voir comme ca, j'aurai pt'etre un plan class
Pour qu'ils viennent mixer chez moi � la prochaine danse class,
Devant toutes mes copines on va bouger nos "ass"

Refrain

C'est gai, c'est frais, �a me plait, c'est vrai,
c'est fait, �a non, c'est chouette, ah ouais
on danse encore, ah ouai, t'es s�r, ouais ouais,
on fait l'amour, apres , t'es s�re, ouais ouais

Refrain

PS: I don't know what those "�" means, I guessed most probably is the symbol or something...

2008-05-28T05:45:00.000-07:00

Yes, it is always sad to find something that we are familiar and be gone before we know. Well, 旧的不去，新的不来. The long standing wet market where my Ahgong and Ahma frequent will be demolished soon and those elderly shop tenant who has no intention to continue will leave for their well deserve vacation.

Last Sunday, I'm sad to be told that I no longer can buy my school shoe with them anymore. So Mommy got 2 pairs for me and at really really good buy and she is a bit paiseh and told the uncle that he in fact “半卖半送，真不好意思”

It's a surprise!

All my cousin had pool in some money and bought a cake to celebrate Mother's Day. All the mommies present are so touch by their gesture and can tell some are "uncomfortable" when ask to take photo...Take photo only what? Why feel paiseh?

Message from Aunt Little:

To all my lovely nieces & nephew,

I am very surpised by your kind gesture. It is really thoughtful for all of you to do such thing.

I had the time of my time. Thank you for been there with us.

I wish for many happy time ahead.

Tennis Training

2008-03-20T10:13:00.000-07:00

Today, I've got a letter from MN for Tennis Training next month:(

Initially I was very excited about being selected but upon receiving the long awaited letter, I told Mom that "I don't want to take part" reason being I'm afraid to be "hit" by the tennis ball. Yes! It sounded ridicules but I was hit by a tennis ball during recess sometime ago so the incident tell me "don't play play..."

Mom explained to me that I am selected because I have showed to my teacher that I am good and I CAN DO IT. It is my honor and I should not give up without trying. Dad added that Tennis is a good sport and he will practice with me.

I'm convinced by my parent and agreed to go for IT.

my babies "long kang fish"

no PE no Music lesson

2008-02-26T22:59:00.000-08:00

I am really upset that it isn't PE lesson on Monday because our class made a lot of noise while doing filing so MN deny us of PE lesson. I am very disappointed because I love PE lesson very much...Hope we learn our lesson so that we can have our PE lesson next week.

This is not all, every Tuesday is our Music lesson but it was changed to "Math Test". I know my teacher is doing this for our good and benefit but Music lesson is yet my another favourite class. I am really dishearted.

I know. I know. Mom always say "Study first, Play later". I guessed my teacher is sharing the same feeling as my Mom. Hee! Hee!

Actually I like to study too! Especially with my Mom.

Hobby = Discovery

2008-02-25T19:50:00.000-08:00

We have a little pond outside our unit and it was in terrible state after our Japan trip because my dear neighbor grandchildren have been creating havoc at it and my dear fishes is almost gone upon our return.

Mom & I are very upset but she never give up...she bought more fishes, "cheappo ones" like guppies, molly and some "Long Kang fish" and my pond is once again buzzing with life. We are very happy to see fishes swimming in the pond.

One of the "LongKang fish" is pregnant and Mom seperate it and about 3 weeks later, we found little fish fry. Not long after, another LK fish is pregnant too, Mom again seperate and we wait patiently...in the end we have about 30 fish fry but sadly most didn't make it and now there are only 9 of them survived. We were told not to introduce them to our pond as the bigger fish will eat as dinner. Now they are still swimming happily in our little fish bowl.

But this is not all, Mom made a discovery and found one of our shrimp is PREGNANT too! She is not optismatic if we are able to breed those shrimp but anyway, we try...it is a very long wait and miracle happen, we found little zoeae in the maternity chamber.

They made it and We are really happy and thrill. As there are really really tiny, Mom can't clean the MC as she afraid she might accidentally remove our little zoeae.

Sorry no picture to show cause it is really impossible to take.

Japanese Fried Rice

2007-12-17T22:02:00.000-08:00

Mum's takes her 1st attemp to cook Japanese Fried Rice...not too bad. But for the second time she made, I tell you ---> It's really yummy!

Feng Shui Yu

2007-12-15T22:06:00.000-08:00

My cousin, Derryn is going to France for research study for 6 month's period. So Mum initially wanted to invite her & family for "Bon Voyage" gathering at Canton Wok. But unfortunately, she is really tight up with her schedule so there is no gathering but just simply meal at Grandma's place.

As my parent really wants to try this Canton Wok after watching the Makansutra, in the end we proceed to eat on one weekend...sadly it is not as good as we expect it to be. The crab dish was pas mal, as it is serve with glutinous rice, so it is really heavy for 3 of us, ended up there is half left untouched. The other dish we ordered is the fried eggplant, a great disappointment. We cannot tell if we are eating eggplant or sweet potatoes or potatoes chip...very dry & hard. I totally don't like it at all. Poor mum had to finish most of it...

I guessed this will be our first and probably the last time we are eating at Canton Wok.

2007-12-03T05:03:00.000-08:00

My neighbour's grandchildren was caught red handed by my uncle yesterday for "playing with my pond". When discovered, they quickly ran to lower floor instead. Mum was quite upset because she believed this is not the first time they done that...now with enough evident, she went to our neighbour and highlighted the incident to their grandparents whom are very understanding folks. Mum hoped they can explain to their grandchildren and stop the mischievous act. I hope they learn. It really pain our heart when we witnessed the death of our fish and shrimp...

2007-11-22T20:21:00.000-08:00

This is yet another wonderful holiday with my family. Tried onsen, surprisingly get see & feel the snow during this trip and eat lot of lot of nice yummy food, like unagi, curry rice, cold soba, yakigyoza, fried rice, ramen and not forgetting my favourite desserts -- ICE CREAM! I love my family.

Today, just after school release. My classmate, Daniel's AhMa called for me and say..."You just now shout at Daniel's ear or not?" Then say, "You can't do that, ok! his ear drum will brust ok!" Blah...Blah...Blah...

At this time, Mum leaned forward and ask if I really did that and I replied "I don't remember...". Mum then said to me that if I really did "shout" at Daniel's ear, I must admit and must NOT tell lies. This time, I panic and about to cry... I told Mum that it is because Daniel "cut my queue...". At the background, the AhMa said "if you really did, just admit, nobody will beat you one..." (What the heck is this old lady think she is? Who is she to "beat" my son!)

Hearing that, Mum turn and walk away. On our way home, Mum explained to me that even if my classmate did really "cut my queue" I don't need to "fight back" because, it is NOT a competition and there is no prize to be the first in queue. I replied "Yes, Mum."

Mum:"Every day, every moment. I'm trying very hard to teach littleseah to be his best behaviour and manners. But for goodness sake, he is only six years old. Every mother will know that we can't expect our kid to remember FOREVER those words we said. We need to constantly repeat and repeat and remind and remind what can be done or what cannot be done...all the time.

I remember one of my friend told me that she can "punish" her childen 1000times in a day for every single mistakes they make but do you really want that? Of couse, NO!

For me, I need to have a big heart "to forgive" NOT only my son wrongdoing but also his classmates...for example, Jasmine. She cut his eraser into tiny pieces and won't stop doing even when my son told her to stop. He came home and I scolded him for "playing with his eraser and wasting money" then Son told me that it was not him but his classmates. I asked if he informed his teacher, he said yes but this girl, Jasmine still continue doing the same thing on a couple of occassions...As a mother, what can I do? Of course, I can "complaint" to her mother but it is really necessary? It's only a small matter and I don't wish to behave too petty over it.

On another case, a classmate name, Desmond. He grabed his fingers and bent it backwards! Son came home and told me that he have difficulty in writing because his fingers is really hurting...I feel "heart-pain" and asked what had happen? He told me the whole event and I asked did Son did he "provoked or challenged" Desmond in any way? He answered no, Desmond just turn around and grab his fingers. Teacher is awared of this incident and told Desmond that is it not right to do such thing to your classmate and after that, Teacher made Desmond apologise to him. Again, I can voice my unhappiness to Desmond's mother or AhMa but I did not because Teacher already told Desmond that such behaviour is a NO-No, so let bygones but bygones... but if Desmond ever going to repeat such act, I think I need to let his mother know about this unacceptable behaviour.

BTW, about Daniel's AhMa, she is NO saint. She accused my son early this year and later I found out that her grandson and the other 2 friends was grabbing my son so in the mid of "breaking-free". Son accidently "kick" his face causing the redness at the lower part of Daniel's eye. Without knowing the head and tail, she came and shouted at me, in front of the other parents saying that "My son is so naughty, play so rough...blah...blah...blah" After much investigation, I insist their Teacher to explain to her about the actual situation and she didn't even have the cheek to apologise at all. So please don't ever try to ask people to admit mistakes when you yourself don't even have the guts to do. At least, I know my Son don't lie and he is NOT afraid to admit if he is really in wrong.

Everyone learnt from their mistakes, who don't but do you have the gut to admit?

881 - Royston Tan Film

2007-09-09T23:18:00.000-07:00

Hey, watched 881 with my whole family...it is really fun and the best part was I get to eat all the chips popcorn and stuffs in the cinema and Mum didn't try to stop me at all...

Here is the official website for 881 http://www.zhaowei.com/881/synopsis.html

The song Mum like most is the song by Papaya Sister - Yearning (相思) but it is not heard in the movie, she is a bit disappointed. Nonetheless, she hope to buy the CD if FMHYR include it, moreover the OST is selling like hot cake... So, poor mum can only listen in youtube.

Sawasdeeka...

2007-07-27T00:53:00.000-07:00

Mum is very into Thai music recently and I am very much influence by her too. I will dance and groove whenever she listen to them.

No doubt we don't understand the meaning of the song but just by listening to it, we can't help but to dance along...

I wish we can visit Thailand soon! I missed the pineapple rice very much!

This song you are listening now is by a duo name Dan & Beam and the song called "NOW". I hoped you guys will like it too! Enjoy!

爱 (We are the World)

2007-07-17T00:48:00.000-07:00

This is the new song I've learned in school recently and one night I was humming the tune before bedtime and Mum sing along with my tune... I was surprised and asked how come she knows this song. She explained this is very a famous song in the 80's in the aid for "USA for Africa"

From you tube:

We Are the World Lyrics

There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

It's my Birthday

2007-06-01T07:54:00.000-07:00

Yey! Dad bought another birthday cake for me on my actual birthday...how lucky am I? I love You both and thank you very much for your present too! I love it...

bus ride

2007-05-28T08:03:00.000-07:00

A very comfy and groovy bus ride...

B'day in school

2007-05-25T07:40:00.000-07:00

Last day of school is also the day I celebrated my b'day with my classmates. I'm very happy to be able to have teachers & classmates in my party. Some have even got me birthday presents. Thank you! Everyone. I hoped all of you enjoy the birthday cake that Mum got all the way from Lana. This is my fav. Chocolate Cake, you know!

长长久久

2007-03-21T09:02:00.000-07:00

WOW! Mum has been very lack lately...but NOT true. In fact, after CNY she has been busy with my room "renovation". Dad & Mum painted one of the wall with giraffes. Actually Dad only drew 7 giraffes and she added another 2 to make 9 to the pix because giraffe + Nº9 = 长长久久, she feels that this sounded more meaningful and auspicious...whatever... I'm happy and looking forward to the completion tho!

goodbye to my lovely school...

2007-03-19T09:19:00.000-07:00

After both my English and Chinese teacher left my center respectively, then soon after during the month of Feb, Mum & Dad decided to withdraw me from this center and transfer me to another center that located sightly further away from our house. With later time slot and no shelter along the journey to this new center, Mum & I have lots of adjustment to make this term and hopefully, we can settle quickly to this new time table and school.

I like my new school but I still missed my old center a lot but luckily Mum took a picture for my remembrance... I apologised for posting such a "plain-looking" photo but my classroom has been this state since January...oh yes, the string of hongbao fish only hung up a day before CNY :(

new found hobby...

2007-02-09T20:06:00.000-08:00

In the evening, we went to shop for some plant or flower for Chinese New Year but Daddy bought me a "bowl of pond" instead. The shopkeeper was very nice and gave me 10 fishes too! Dad even allowed me to try to catch those fishes using my hand!! (despite Mum disagreed...oops...) Oh...I'm so happy and overwhelmed with all the excitement, can't wait to put together the pond, water plant and of course, my lovely fishes. I even offered to help Daddy & Mummy to carry my new pet home as they are already hand full. It looked plain from this picture but Daddy told me that tomorrow he will put more water plant to make it look better and complete.

just another manic monday...

2007-02-05T05:20:00.000-08:00

My oh my! Not a single post for the month of January... Actually, not that Mom is lazy to blog but she is suffering from a relasped of skin allegy so it has been quite a discomforting month for her.

Chinese New Year is round the corner so we have been busy lately with the CNY Shopping and spring cleaning. Today, I even helped Mom to sweep the floor...hee! hee!

Not forgetting Mom favourite pastime, Cooking! Yes, she has quite an achievement with her cooking lately. Her latest successful recipe are Dong Po Rou and Japanese Pork Curry.

a not so promising weather...

2006-12-18T09:39:00.000-08:00

No snow...in singapore but we have lots and lots of rain during the month of December, a monsoon season so to speak. I am most fearful of the loud thunder noise and sometimes, it is so loud that it make me cry...so malu...

At a time like these, baking cookies or doing art and craft is not a bad idea too. I enjoy these activtives anyway...

There are lighting and thundering with heavy downpour right now...

Vivocity, Harbour Front

2006-12-18T09:09:00.000-08:00

Today, we took a North-East line to Harbourfront MRT for Vivocity, the latest new attraction and shopping mall in Singapore.

The weather is not very promising but good as I prefer cool weather than hot!

There is Daiso, Mum's favourite shop cos all items are selling at $2, like those 100 Yen shop in Tokyo/Japan. They sell lots of nice thing especially those cooking utencils...and Mum walked away with 17 items in her shopping bag.

On our way to food court, we saw Carl's Jr, a fast food chain from U.S. Mum think we should settle our lunch since I am too tired and hungry. This is our first time eating out at CJ but it is really a disappointment as we have waited about 20 mins before our food is served and when asked the server if it is normal to keep Customer to wait for this long...he replied "Sorry, probably our kitchen has mixed up your order..." WOW! a reputable fast food chain using computerized system also can "mix up" order??? The company should look into their ordering system before thing get out of hand.

Anyway, the crispy chicken tenders is really nice, it is cooked like the way we had in US but the onion ring is yet another disappointment---> I find it over-cooked and honestly, I still prefer BK's.

For paying $11 + 20 mins of waiting and overcooked onion rings, I doubt Mum will go back to eat out at CJ again... so long Carl's Jr

SPD at Lot 1

2006-12-12T08:55:00.000-08:00

Hey! Mum brought me to see SPD Power Ranger again at Lot 1...so exciting.

The show is the same as what I saw in IMM but this time due to the hot weather, many people including us are turned away during photo session.. cos ALL the Rangers are in heat???

It is really a great disappointment to many of us...why can't the organizer think of such thing to happen during "planning" for such event to conduct in an outdoor, open space???

As we already spent 3 hrs waiting for the show to start at 1pm so we can't wait for another 45min to 1 hr for the next available photo session...so I left without any hand shake or photo with my heroes...just too bad!

But I didn't give Mum hard time or throw any tantrum just making her annoy by treating the pole as a "monkey bar" during our MRT ride home... and I think I really get carry away and making her really angry and embarrasses at the same time.

Christmas at Centrepoint, Orchard

2006-12-09T09:57:00.000-08:00

Got a ticket to ride the Santa's express at Centrepoint. Before boarding, there is a kind lady who offer Mum another ticket of hers since her child is too young to ride. So we gladly took a ticket from her. Thank You! Aunty (whoever you are)

Since it is the 2nd last day for this ride, so I get 2 rounds cause we don't think we are going back to Centrepoint the next day...

Afterwhich, we headed to Suntec before meeting Daddy for our lunch. There is an ice skating presentation of the Sleeping Beauty but it has already started and I only catch little of the show before its end. Those wonderful skaters are really wonderful and pretty on stage.

Power Ranger SPD at IMM

2006-12-08T01:45:00.000-08:00

I've spent a wonderful time today at IMM to meet and greet my favourite heroes --> PoWEr RaNGeR SPD on stage.

We need to spend $30 and exchange our receipt for a meet & greet pass and each time only 30 passes are issued.
Some people who don't know of such arrangement and had to leave with much disappointment.

Santa's Den and Toy Workshop

2006-12-06T01:33:00.000-08:00

Enjoy a fun filled day at the Santa's Den and Toy Museum in Compasspoint today.

They are plenty of toys to choose inside the house but I want to play the football over others toys. We are allowed 20 mins in each session, indeed the time is short but when the time is up, I leave without throwing any tantrum.

I hope to go back and see the Santarinas again...

Liang Court

2006-11-30T07:24:00.000-08:00

There is a "Oishii Hokkaido Fair" in the Meidi-ya Supermarket at the Liang Court and since Mummy is so into cooking Japanese food so she wants to see if she can find anything nice to cook.

We bought rice seasoning, sweet, biscuits, shoyu soup base for ramen, pumpkin soup and even a DVD player for Grandma at $99 from the Audio House.

What a fruitful day...

Justirisers at TM, Tampines Mall

2006-11-29T07:19:00.000-08:00

Mommy bring me to watch the Justirisers Show at TM today.

The show time is 1pm and the weather outside is really hot but that didn't discouraged me from waiting...The stage is on the open plaza, an outdoor area with a children playground so I already have a good time playing even before the show.

Asian Children's Festival

2006-11-17T01:01:00.000-08:00

Last day of school today so Mom brought me to Asian Children's Festival and KidsAsia (Hall 4 - Singapore Expo) to catch the Wushu demonstration by Kuen Academy at 4pm.

As we were early so we went to check out the Asia Pacific Food Expo next hall 5. Aunty Irene has told Mom to keep a look out of the Wakame Seaweed, a product of Hokkaido, Japan. You see, Mom is really into Japanese cuisine especially after our recent trip to Japan. She is deeply impressed by the passsion and enthusiasm they have put to their cooking.

Mostly of all, it is the wholesome nutrition value we will get after eating these seeweed and when it is good for our body, all MOMMY will buy it that's for sure...

We bought 3 packets at $10 (2 packets for the leafty part and 1 packet for the stem part) FYI, Aunty Irene went on the last day of the exhibition and bought 4 packets at $10 - what a lucky devil!!

In the food expo, Mommy also found her long awaiting "Happy Veg" or 开心菜. She had 3 in a row...WOW! Mom's motto "EAT now DIET later". We told they finally had their first outlet in VivoCity #B2-K9 HarbourFront Walk Tel: 6376 9776. It is halah so our Muslim friends also can eat!

Back to hall 4, we are in time for the Japanese Koto performance and they even played my favourite folk song - Sakura and Mom even captured it in our video cam.

Then, we watched the "behind the Kathakali curtain" showing us how the actor put on their make-up and custom. It is like our Chinese opera except they use their hand, body and eyes to act.

The show finally arrived, it is about the story of Singapore and there even a lion dance (Indian lion dance)

Lastly, that is is me posting after the Wushu demonstration and 10mins lessons with the GorGor and JieJie... unfortunately, Mom had decided not to let me join their 3-day holiday camp...

I really really like to learn Wushu...hopefully I can when I go to Primary school in Year 2008. (aiyah...long way to go...ooo...ooo)

my very sick Ribena plant

2006-11-15T07:53:00.000-08:00

Mom bought a Ribena plant from a farm that also sell those wheatgrass drink during a excursion organsizered by RC.

She was told about the good benefits of consuming the flower of this plant but the main reason she bought was because she like the lovely red colour of this plant.

Unfortunately, this plant is already "sick" when she buys and about 2 weeks later, mould and white spots started to appear on every parts of the plant and she needs to discard it before the fungus or whatsoever "infect" her other pot of plants.

How can someone do such a dishonest thing? So bad!

This is the first time Mom bought a plant w/o the presence of Daddy. So Mom, you need to be more careful when choosing a plant next time...if it ever going to happen...

Revision Test over...

2006-11-12T10:13:00.000-08:00

Hooray!

Finally the revision test is over. The past weeks had been hard on me or should I said "Mum is working harder" cos I am not begin a good boy, I refuse to study but wanting to play, play and play...causing her so mad that she disallowed me to watch my favourite TV programs. There goes my Winx, Sesame Street, Hi-5, Power Rangers and much more...

Aiyah...everything is over now! Today I even got to play my gameboy and bring to grandma's place to share with my cousin brother - Zaphan.

poor cat...another sad case...

2006-11-11T22:19:00.000-08:00

Few days ago, we saw this cat with a limping hind leg and a lump on her tummy near our place, Mum guessed she has been being "dumped" by irresponsible people.

Mum tried her best to feed her on regular timing but as today is Saturday and Dad disapproved Mum from feeding the stray's so she can't find any excuse to go and feed her...so sad, I wonder how is she now...and it is pouring heavily since noon...

my neighbor cat...

2006-11-06T07:32:00.000-08:00

This neighbor cat of mine have been "pooping" outside my door way on several occasion. Such thing had never happened before until their daughter brought in 2 cats into their household and
Mum thinks the existing resident cat can't get along with these 2 new cats thus it has such "bad behaviour"

As such, our neighbor told Mum that in fact she had "thrown" this resident cat far, far away but she still can find her way back home...(what a clever cat she is)

Tomorrow, she is going to ask her husband to throw her even further...and Mum is sadden upon hearing such news.

Yes! Indeed this cat has "misbehaved" but as a pet owner, itsn't it also their responsibility to take care and train their pets right? Dumping them else where may solve the pooping problem but at the same time, it created another society problem in another estate right?

Anyway, this poor cat was sprayed with water during a "cat fight" and Mum found her so poor thing, all drenched and left outside the corridor. So she dried her with a used towel and feed her some cat food. She refused the food at first but after sometimes, seeing us doing no harm to her, she started to eat. Then she get all friendly and stroking us...so cute. Too bad, Dad disapproved of any keeping pet at home, otherwise we love to take her in.

I'm back from Japan!

2006-10-25T03:25:00.000-07:00

Hello!

I'm back from my Japan trip already. Blogger is having some bug and Mum can't sign in to update my blog...so that's why it took me so long to post.

I wish all my Indians and Muslims friend a belated:

Happy Deepavali

AND

Selemat Hari Raya Puasa Aidilfitri

Mum have created a separate blog, fall in Japan 2006 for our 1st fall season in Japan. Our journey and adventures are posted in this blog. Beside that, Mum also included useful links for those who like to plan their own F&E trip in Japan.

As we are Chinese, so we don't face much difficulties when driving in Japan but for foreigners and non-chinese educated will be quite impossible to drive as all the signage are written in Chinese characters/Japanese traditional characters.

But it is a good experience for us to be able to do what the locale do! I love Japan and I am looking forward to our next adventure.

bad...bad...bad...Mommy!!

2006-09-12T23:29:00.000-07:00

Haiz...poor me!

Mommy has been playing on-line "Para Para Game" by auditionsea since she saw my cousin played last Sunday. I also want to have a go but it is too fast and difficult for me, honestly speaking, I liked very much listening to the music while Mom is playing and she let me "dress" her up too! Not too bad, thot.

Oh...Mom, stop playing already and play with me istead!! I'm bored and oh yes, I haven't learn my spelling for next week! Stop now and come help me...

Back to Singapore

2006-09-08T23:23:00.000-07:00

The land of Smile...

2006-09-01T05:38:00.000-07:00

I am leaving for Bangkok this Sunday and I'm totally excited. It's my first trip to the land of smile and I am looking forward to it.

Mommy and I already make a deal that whenever she shops, I wait and when it is my turn to enjoy, she waits. We both agreed to take our turn.

Great! Play fair and play NICE! I'll remember that...believe me...

Happy Teachers' Day

2006-09-01T05:28:00.000-07:00

I Love You！
Teacher Monica and 林老師！
You're the best!!

Good new! I'm clean & free...finally!

2006-08-29T23:24:00.000-07:00

Today, mommy finally decided to bring me to the clinic instead of tomorrow (I guessed the suspend must be killing her)

Both of us are glad and thrill to hear that the doctor has provided clearance to my HFMD and that's mean --- I can go Bangkok this coming Sunday!! Hooray!

September Holiday

2006-08-27T20:31:00.000-07:00

Mommy will be bringing me to Bangkok on this coming September school holiday. Since I was diagnosed with HFMD so I need my doctor to certify that I am clear and free to go for my holiday. My review is scheduled on tomorrow but will go on Wednesday instead cause, if I am NOT free from it that's mean my trip will be cancelled...keep my fingers cross!

Bad, bad new...I've got HFMD !!

2006-08-24T20:21:00.000-07:00

After reaching home from school, I've found spot of blisters on my fingers so I showed them to Mommy. She is very shocking that very moment and brought me to the clinic without further delay.

OMG! The doctor certified that indeed I have the HFMD but a mild one and need not to worry too much. It will go away in about 5 or 7 days but need to keep me away from school for at least 5 days and go back for review next Monday so that she can verify again that I am OK and free to attend school.

Immediately after leaving the clinic, Mom went back to my school to keep my Teacher informed about my condition.

Both of them looked worried but really as the doctor said, no need to throw a big fuss about it. I am fine and looking as active & mischievous as ever...

a better way to blog using blogger BETA?

2006-08-21T08:05:00.000-07:00

Okay, mum found out about this new "blogger beta" thing so she decided to register for a new account - www.littlemusing.blogspot.com to test & see what's the different between the old and new blogger.

Sky Garden, Suntec City

2006-08-04T09:05:00.000-07:00

Eliot is having fun playing with the bubble gun that Mum bought for him at Toy'SRus earlier.

Eliot & me

2006-08-03T10:37:00.000-07:00

Meet my new friend! His name is Eliot and he is a French. Eliot and his dad (mom's ex-boss) are in town for their summer holiday. Honestly, I am totally overwhelmed by the language he spoke but that doesn't stop me from "talking" to him.

We had our lunch at Wisma Atria, Din Tai Fung and Mommy brought us to ToysR'us, my fav. store and took the roller coaster ride with Eliot.

Before leaving, I found out that I will be meeting Eliot as my Mom agreed to help babysit Eliot for few hours which means I can meet & play with him again!

Hooray!!

Sun, sea and sand at Changi Beach

2006-07-27T10:14:00.000-07:00

Today, I went to the beach with Mom & Dad.
I love the sun, sea and sand, no photos to show but just enjoying quality time with my family...

Robertson Walk

2006-07-22T10:26:00.000-07:00

Went for lunch at Robertson Walk and had my fav. Dessert - ice cream. I enjoyed coming to this place as it is not over crowded during weekends and Mom usually will not restrict my movement so much but allow me to explore the place and run till I drop along the riverside.

Hey, Daddy brought us to this new place called Sembawang Park to see the bottle tree. But we ended up at the Sembawang Beach instead...Simply cannot resist ourselves especially, it was low tide and we are hoping to see some live shells or stuffs like that, alas! Not much luck today...
