i forgot to mention about the auction of art works on board the cruise. it's really amazing seeing the person speaking so fast and hammering the hammer away. woah. it's just like bullet train. poor guy. i think he probably needed loads of water or honey-lemon water to soothe his throat after that.
there was also this jigsaw puzzle there (laid on the table for anyone to fix it) which totally shocked me cos it's really challenging. i would have gotten it if it was on sale. didnt spend time figuring it cos it's too tiring to stand in front of the table with my back bent. on the second day, the borders of it was fixed and i was so amazed by whoever did that. it's an abstract piece of art of a scenary and the colours are not easy to differentiate.
just realise the pictures are not all uploaded. my lemon curd cake's not there. haha. need to get my dad's phone and for my sis to bluetooth them into the comp. poof. what work. troublesome.
had a great time eating yesterday. after much argument at home over where to have lunch (this happens all the time), i decided we should go to chinatown cos i wanted to eat the chicken rice there (my mum says they're good). plus my sis can eat xiao long bao there.
anyone wants to eat xiao long bao? go chinatown food centre k! the stall no.'s #02-135. they sell 10 for $5 which is amazingly cheap as compared to restaurants. and their quality is really good. my sis and i came to the conclusion that the stall holder most probably left a restaurant to open that stall.
their spicy noodles are yummy as well. (they're not very spicy though which was good.) (:
list of food ordered for the day:
20 xiao long bao
one bowl of spicy noodles
one plate of dumplings
one bowl of porridge and raw fish
four cups of fruit juices
one plate of chicken rice
one poh piah
one bowl of fish soup
one bowl of some chicken (i forgot what's the chinese word for it)
one bowl of tang yuan
one bowl of fish porridge
one pot of 田鸡 porridge
one plate of 炸肠
3 mc flurry-s
we were literally walking around and stopping for food. we gave maxwell food centre a missed cos we were too full when we were around there. shall go there one day. and back to chinatown food centre for duck rice (there's this stall which is mended by an old couple. bet their cooking of the duck must be very different and traditional. cant wait to try.) although it's a lot of food listed, it's been ages since i last ate till sweat trickle down my whole face. haha. it was great. like my sister puts it, it's just plain shiok. (:
just put up the christmas tree a while ago. cant believe my dad was in the mood for it. we didnt put for 2 years in a row already. plus the tree was stored away deep in the storeroom which require much digging and messing of the stuff blocking it. some of the bulbs were fused and my dad and i were figuring it out before the whole thing went haywired. ): in the end my dad went down to a nearby stall to get new LED lights. now my christmas tree looks beautiful once again. all it lacks is some boxes underneath. haha. i think i can do something about it. whee!
my mum's been finding ways to get me to buy new clothes. i know she meant for the new year but yea. it just doesnt sink in. haiz. somehow i cant be bothered. sian.
cant wait to meet huijia soon. hope she remembers. and i need to call ms lim up. cousins' outing next week and NJGZ outing as well plus i still want to go shopping with my mum! i'll be dead tired from all the walking. =X
