Chilli Crab!

went to try the chilli crab recommended by felicia, which was known to be very famous at Casuarina Road... we had dinner but can see felicia didnt enjoy her food lol.... so we went over to the restuarant... it was super crowded... and there is the famous crab dish on every table!

so we ordered 2 small crabs for the 5 of us... when it was served... we couldnt believe it was a small crab lol... of course, eat chilli crab must have fried man tou too!


the claw was huge! i had a hard time eating it... i was so tired when i finished it lol... but it was delicious! i love crab! >.<

Tiles selection...

today we went down to meet larry and he brought us to choose our tiles... it's a bit weird cos he asked us to choose tiles before showing us the 3D designs...

so we went to lian seng hin and he started showing us the different colors and types of tiles... it was so crowded... larry said this is one of the tiles company with better after sales services...

we choose tiles for the 2 toilets, living room and the kitchen floor tiles will be the same as the kitchen toilet floor tiles...

this are the tiles for the kitchen toilet... most bottom will be for the floor... the rest will be for the walls... larry said he will play with colors and also using mosaic... giving the toilet a very bright look...

this will be the living room floor tiles... nothing special hehe...

last are the bedroom toilet tiles... bedroom and kitchen toilets will have 2 completely different feel... bedroom will be a more cosy and relax feel...

tentatively will be these colors unless we decide to change our mind...

Designs ready!

larry called me juz now asking if we are free this sat as he will be bringing us down to see and choose our tiles... he said the 3D designs are also ready... he's fast! was only expecting him to call us next week... cant wait for him to show us what he has design!

Why so serious...again!

LOL again!

On the train back...

as usual, train was crowded and packed on the way back from work... was day-dreaming when suddenly heard a 'pong' sound from the back... turned ard and saw a gal fell onto the floor... and heard an auntie said someone fainted... actually the gal just blackout... ppl ard her was trying to help her up and some stood up to let her sit... she sat down, seems ok and even took out a bottle of water to drink... so i tot everything was ok... after like 1 min, heard 'pong' again and she blackout again... now falling off the seat... one passenger asked those near the door to press the emergency button to inform the smrt staff... the train stop at eunos mrt for a while and a smrt staff came to help the gal out before continuing... first time saw this type of thing...

but find not all singaporeans are helpful... some juz stared as if they are watching a movie... quite sad...

Singapore Home & Design 2008...

went down expo for the sg home & design 2008... maw had asked for quotation from plush interior design the week before and today we went to meet up with the ID, larry.... nice guy very easy to talk to... and he seems to be able to read my mind... i juz briefly said and he is able to describe to me in more details...

in the end, we paid a deposit of $500 to lock up the promotion package... larry will draw out the 3D designs to show us first before proceeding... anyway we need to wait till end oct or early nov to get our keys before start renovating... hope everything goes smoothly....

BBQ...

maw organised a bbq to celebrate his bdae... long time since we had a bbq... auntie cooked her famous curry chicken which also have been some time since i last ate...

we had curry chicken, fried bee hoon, sausages, sweet potates, chicken wings and beef steak... well i still like the curry chicken most!

2nd appointment follwed by night safari...

went down to our future house for another viewing requested by HDB before going down for the 2nd appt later in the afternoon... the owner told us they had found a new house but they will only be moving out after hari raya... which is abt another 2 mths before we can get the keys and start renovating...

but now, we are officially the owners of our future home! cant wait for them to give us the keys!

i got a discount voucher for 50% off night safari tickets for max of 5 tickets... we asked herby and vanessa along and we met up for dinner first before heading down...

i have never been to night safari before and it's quite interesting to see animals at night... but we were quite disappointed not being to see some like the sugar gliders... dunno where are they hiding... all we see is just a cage with nothing moving inside... and it was very rushed too... by the time we walked over wanting to see the bats.... the staff informed us that the place is closing and we have to head out... :( we have to reach earlier if we were to go again...

Happy Bday to Maw!

we had a simple dinner at pho hoa, our fav vietnamese beef noodles restaurant at holland village... we have been patronizing this restaurant since our poly days... i remember me and maw will travelled one hr plus from TP to holland village since for the beef noodles... yummy!!

after dinner, we went nydc for dessert... ordered a mudpie and requested for a candle for maw to blow the candle and make a wish! Hope his wish will come true!

Wall EEEEEEEEEEE

I can't believe I'm saying this, but between Star Wars and Wall.E, I choose Wall.E. The way they managed to potray human emotions through animated movements of a robot is simply amazing. Was a little slow at the start, but it gets better as you watch it. The cameo robots added additional entertainment to the movie too!(You will know which one I'm talking about when you watch it, hehe). Good, clean family movie. A must watch if you can. Keep up the good work Pixar!

May the force be with you....

Hi all! After a dry spell of not watching movies up to 2 weeks, we finally got down to watch not 1 but 2 animation movies! I enjoyed the animation on this movie the most where the characters really look like the actual actors, but I still think watching real people to act in a real movie still gives me a kick whenever I watch a Star Wars movie. The idea of Anakin Skywalker having a Padawan did not quite appeal to me, but oh well I'm still a fan nonetheless. This movie is the begining of a series of another 100 more episodes screening on TV in mostly 22 mins episodes. Catch it if you like Star Wars, miss it if you don't.
