Note: i started writing on sunday but was too tired n lazy to finish.
Wad a day it was on sat.
started w late lunch at victor's kitchen w ben n jacq.
awesome stuff.
first up was the glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf den the har gaow, carrot cake n some veg dumpling arrived. all yummy.
while eating the above, the siew mai w quail egg and the spare ribs came.
siew mai was a little dry but not too bad. the spare ribs were nice n soft.
This is the end result of round 1:
Den round 2 began.
1 plate of fried beancurd roll and 1 'long' of some teochew dumpling pictured below.
the dumpling damn shiok la. it's got bits of meat, turnip/radish, peanut, chives in it.
and after dat was round 3 consisting of 1 'long' of the oyster sauce char siew pao.
thankfully there's only 2.
the char siew damn shiok also! the meat is damn juicy tho cant really taste the oyster sauce.
damage to the wallet was abt $60 in all.
up next was lots of walking.
after parking at timbre which has free parking after 5pm, we walked to ACM to catch 'The Unguarded Moment' by Steve McCurry.
when we arrived, we saw the photo submitted for the photo contest and we tot dat was it. felt a little cheated.
and some of the entries which were put up were kinda crap coz there din seem to be a central focus or not in line w the theme.
but jacq picked up a brochure and read dat there IS an exhibition of his works.
so we asked the ppl at the counter and we were told dat it was on the 2nd floor. Note to ACM: put up proper signage!the minute i reached the top of the stairs n saw the first foto, i instantly saw the difference in quality of the photos by Steve and the contestants. and his fotos were truly amazing. the subjects of his protrait fotos all seem to look straight at, into and through u as u look at his work. if u need further proof, here it is. yes. this was taken by him.
after the exhibition, we walked to funan coz i needed a new flash for my old skool camera. but no stock. coming in on monday :(
so next we walked to raffles city coz jacq was looking for a rash guard. walked ard and couldn't find one she liked.
so we took a train from city hall to somerset. coz ben wanted to get citadels from paradigm infinitum.
and it seemed like an adventure taking the train again.
if memory serves me right, i have not taken the train in like 1 1/2yrs since i started driving.
after getting his game, walked ard OG next to centrepoint to look for crocs. not finding any i liked, we chilled at starbucks for a while.
den we walked over to orchard central to have a look at the new mall.
and who would have tot this happened.
met the thambie.
chatted for a while. den ben, jacq n i walked back to somerset to train back to city hall to meet up w fel n mark for dinner.
dinnered at BK. den walked towards the car to offload our stuff n to go visit the peranakan museum.
but halfway there, it poured. like majorly poured. sought refuge at stamford house - the building where mph used to be. i think.
after a wet adventure, we reached e national museum and walked ard. went for the vernon panton exhibition.
i love the forms he uses for his designs, not to mention his use of colors. damn retro lor! but den... his designs were all done in the 70s.
(i think. cant rem exactly :P)
den we juz chilled ard in the museum waiting for 10.30 so we can go outside to watch this german troupe perform.
i'm too lazy to write liao. enjoy the fotos.
to end it off, i want to complain!! y cant blogger put new fotos at the bottom of the post instead of being right on the top.
v mafan to drag down lor! anyone who has a fast method of arranging fotos, pls pls PLS let me know.
Been wanting to blog but have been pretty lazy to do it, even tho i've got nothing to do at home.
1) went down to next on monday for a haircut. but hairdresser suggested a perm to give my hair a little more shape n volume. so i gave it a shot. so i've got slightly wavy hair which is a nice change really. after seeing my hair in it's straight, floppy limp state for the last i duno how many yrs.
2) the new lift at my block is operational! and it's fast. and i'm still try to get used to stopping on my floor and walking to my door. and like wad jerms said, now i will know which floor all the babes in the block are on. kekeke...
3) eugene left for switzerland last nite. so he's not gona b ard for the next 6mths. look like i REALLY need to get the new comp otherwise i'll hear no end from my dad abt the comp hanging while he's on skype w eug.
4) i really need a holiday. i'm comtemplating a 5day chillout at redang liao. keep expenses low.
need to save up for nz in jan next yr.
5) i must remember to eat up dat LAST krispy kreme dat's been in my fridge. i keep wanting to eat it on my way to the office but i keep forgetting!!
Today marks the 3rd day i've stayed home on a self-imposed quarantine after returning from melb.
the last 3 days have been pretty much crazy. crazy coz i've done nothing much except play rockband on the xbox, play plants vs zombies and play my fb games.
i sooooo wana get out of the house!! (ok... i've actually done dat alr last nite)
but i wana get out during the day.
and i never imagine i'll say this, but "I WANA GO TO WORK!"
got a sms from the boss this morning. he told me to stay home for another day since there's nothing much happening in the office.
i'll prolly go out tom evening for dinner.
and MAYB i shd go build my lego set. it's been sitting at home in the corner of the room since last sept.
den i can go get a box made for it so i can put it up w/o having dust collect on it.
sounds like a plan :D
on a different note, i bought this from ntuc express last nite.
damn shiok la!
go try it if u can.
If you've been reading the papers lately, you'd prolly have read abt this little girl whose mum is trying to raise funds to send her to NY for cancer treatment.
a fren sent me the link to their webby and i spent a little time juz to read thru all the updates.
and i tot i'll do my little bit in spreading the word thru this little blog of mine.
seriously, i dun even know who still reads this. hahaha... but i'm gona do it anyway.
pls go visit the blog and if u really cannot donate any cash, juz click on the nuffnang ad on the top.
they need to raise abt $500k for her treatment and to date, they have abt $180k.
times are hard right now but i'm sure we can do our little bit to help, financially or otherwise.
After spending 2 days at home not doing v much, i decided i needed to get out for a while.
so went down to ntuc express at jurong point at 1am after picking up mark.
bought stuff for lunch tom -
bacon, corned beef, potatoes, onions and orange strawberry juice.
tot since i'm getting stuff, i might as well re-stock on the instant noodles.
found out when i got home dat there's potatoes n onions at home. but i guess it doesn't hurt to have more in supply.
was feeling peckish after dat shopping at ntuc which almost had me buying the entire frozen food section.
so went to boon lay market for supper. met up w mark's frens there.
had 2 plates of nasi lemak coz i was damn unsatisfied after 1.
first plate had chicken, otah, ikan bilis and egg - $4.
2nd plate had chicken, fishballs, ikan bilis and egg - $3.50
i am so in need of exercise or i'll die a horrible death as a result of too much unhealthy food.
