New Food on The Roll

Went to eat this dry-mee-sua at Circular Road. The coffee shop is the one just at the entrance/exit of the road facing South Bridge Road. Get the coffee shop correct because there are many other coffee shops along Circular Road.

It's very nice. Cost $3, with a lot of vinegar which I like! The mee sua is not the soft or messhy type. The soup is tasty and the minced pork is a bit fatty only. Definitely worth a try. Very special because I've never eaten dry-mee-sua before. The chilli is quite hot, be careful if you can't take spicy stuff. The non-spicy mee-sua will come with ketchup sauce.

Next is the Kolo mee. Park your car at Mosque Street or alight at Chinatown MRT station. The name of the shop is called Jia Xiang Kuching and Sarawak Kolo Mee. It has 2 branches along the same street. They are the same, don't worry. The minced pork is not at all fatty, super tasty with a lot of char siew! Thick and juicy and many pieces. HAHA! All for only $3.90. It tastes super good in either dry or soup. Must Must TRY!

The shop name is in BROWN... Can you see?

Leaving This Land

I am so suffocated in Singapore. Migrating to Singapore isn't my choice and I don't want to. No relatives here. I want to ask them out for shopping, to go their houses and stayover, watch movie and have extended family dinners and gatherings. I feel so neglected. Is it because I'm not making the effort?

Haiz... I feel so lost in life now. I want to go overseas for a break, and I mean a long break. At least for a year. But how is it possible now? I have a 3-year to fulfill first, and it will only start in Jan 07.

I feel so different from the rest of others. What am I doing with my life? Am I too involved with and revolving around myself? Am I not contented?

Sony Ericsson K800i

This is my new handphone!!



It's bronze brown colour... This is a limited edition colour. I wanted the black one, but the man said the brown one has the updated software. The only bad thing is that the black one comes with 256MB memory the brown one ONLY 64MB. I also don't know why I chose the brown one still. Maybe because too many people have the black one.

Ya... I know I keep changing phones... I CAN'T help it! I love gadgets!!!



Went to this restaurant: Xing4 Le4 Yuan2 Hai3 Xian1
Address: 725 Havelock Road Singapore 169647 Tel: 62756268
Business Hours: 1100 - 1430 and 1700 - 2300 Hours

Went there with my family for lunch. We had 4 dishes selected from their menu and cost only $30.80 for 5 people after charges for tea, rice, wet towels and peanuts.

Their lunch set menu is: (Choose any 4 combination for $19.80)

1. Steamed fish or Deep Fried
2. Fried Clayfish in Teochew Style
3. Wrapped Chicken with Ginseng
4. Sweet and sour pork
5. Pig's Liver fried with spring onion
6. Mussels Fried with Szechuan Sauce
7. Fried vegetables with minced garlic
8. braise bean curd
9. fred egg with oyster
10. Frest steamed prawns
11. Daily soup

We had Ginseng paper-wrapped chicken, steamed fish, prawns and sweet and sour pork. The servings are enough for 5 people. Very value for money. However, I found the chrysanthamum tea was very bland, and the fish bland too. The plain rice is a bit meshy.





If you're looking for thick and rich flavours, these might not suit you. But it's worth a try, because it's worth it! And if you haven't been eating home for a while, this is a place to get some homely feeling. 3/5 stars.

Their dinner set menu is: (Choose any 4 combination for $29.80)

1. steamed fish or deep fried
2. pork rib with barbecue sauce
3. big prawns with minced garlic
4. fried vegetables with minced garlic
5. steamed cubes duck with ginger
6. crispy chicken with prawn paste
7. braised sea cucumber with fish maw
8. braised bean curd with prawns
9. clamps with chilli sauce
10. "you tiao" with salad sauce
11. fried prawn omelette
12. daily soup

Of course, if you do not want to choose from their sets, you can order a la carte. =)

Adventures on Earth

Concert is over!! The adventures are over!! No more faking of super fast running notes and hearing myself go out of tune! Lala!! Though the tickets didn't sell well, I guess this is a once-in-a-lifetime concert I will be involved in - with the pros and good repertoire. I am glad I'm part of it... =)

My friends came down on Thursday to support me. Even my Math Prof came down... wahahha! Friday there wasn't any for me. I thought Friday's performance was better. At least I can hear the others and the atmosphere was not as tense as Thursday's. The players' feelings do make a difference in the music.




My conductor cum instructor and us!




My NIE friends came down to support!!



After Friday's show, we went Brewerkz at Riverside Point for drinks!
