Happy Birthday, Singapore!! =) *looks at calendar* haha better late than never lah. =)

Ahh.. this is a good time for a holiday!! haha. coz we all know we're still not over the fact that the 3 months hols are over!! hahaha. so this will be a good transition for us to weep over school starting after we have our 1 week of lectures and realised school is really starting. ahahaa~

anyways, i went to my da gu's new house at old airport road on fri. and her house has a nice view of the city area! it's like less than 10min walk away from the kallang stadium! and since it's like on the 14th floor or sth lidat, there's also a really nice view of the buildings across suntec and stuff, and can even see Singapore Flyer!! wooots!

on top of that, there's a few markets around, and we went to have nice food!! ^^ and i ate freshly-made-on-the-spot chee cheong fun for the first time!! hahaa. ok maybe it's not the first time they make it on the spot, just the first time i SEE the person making on the spot in front of my eyes after i order. and i declare i'm officially fascinated by the way they make chee cheong fun~ =) yay! i love char siew chee cheong fun!! *grins*

oh, and sat was a roar. i think i had a very all-rounded day!

?

1. I went to tutor my cousins in the morning.

2. Then on the way to meet deardear after lunch, i finished reading the last harry potter book, and i was so upset coz i realised there's no harry potter anymore after that =( The book was good btw!! But then again, my view is warped, coz ppl think not good i think good, ppl think good i think not good. Haha so ultimately, u should read for yourself to decide!

3. And we went shopping for deardear's clothes at Far East, and i got so amazed!! He can actually be so focused, and before starting to shop, decide what he wants to get, and after start shopping, just stick to looking at that particular range of clothes only. Any other very nice and cheap but unrelated to his shopping list, he doesn't bother looking at all. So he easily finished his shopping in less than an hour, and i could only sputter in amazement. o_O Haha. Sadly speaking, this type of thing will never happen to me. I cannot imagine myself declaring - OK! I'm done shopping!! =) No, no amount of shopping is enough for a bimbo. She can just spend all the time and money shopping, provided she has both, which she doesn't at the moment. =( Hahaha..

4. We stoned in town, getting bored, not knowing what to do, not even knowing how to answer some foreigners' question about how to get to HSBC -_-''' hahahaa~

5. In the end, we walked to the bus stop, looking randomly for whatever bus is available to take us away from the crowd and nothingness in town. And deardear wanted chinese cuisine for dinner, and we saw a bus to Parkway Parade, so i decided to bring him to......*drum rolls*.... LAO XIANG GANG!!! *ta-dah!!* for dinner. Hahaaaha.

6. So we boarded 36 and watched a little of the NDP pre-parade segment on tv mobile. And when the bus went past the city area, everyone kept looking out towards Singapore Flyer, like expecting to see some parachute or something. But no, they were pointing at nothing. *gives weird look*

7. And we alighted in a drizzle opposite Parkway Parade, and walked through Roxy Square and blah, to Katong Lao Xiang Gang!!! ^^ *tingting starts getting high*

8. Arrived in the nicely air-conditioned place, after walking in the cold cold rain. So, wanting very much to drink Ice Milk Tea, yet being very cold at the same time, we ordered...

1 iced milk tea,

and 1 hot milk tea.

haha, i think i have good deceptive photography skills. i made the hot milk tea look like the size of ah gong's odac curry pot. woohoooo! lol~ restaurants should hire me to take food photos for them. i'll make their business flourish like nobody's business! *grins*

Anyways, the hot milk tea was a mistake; it tasted totally odd and bitter! Haha, i shall never drink hot milk tea again. =XX As usual, the cold one was nice like nobody's business! ^^

Then, we took like more than 20 minutes deciding what to order!! Hahaa. And i felt like so ripped apart, looking at the menu. Especially the dim sum menu!! We only have 2 ppl, so we can't order so much, but everything reminded me about how floatingly heavenly nice it was the last time i went to eat with bert&co., so i kind of felt that i was betraying the dim sum if i only order it's other neighbouring dim sum =((

So deardear suggested ordering the main course first..

And this was his Curry Brisket Rice! Haha, it's the first time i'm eating Beef curry!! And theirs was really nice! Nicer than the pictures look i think~ =))





And this is yours truly's Baked Rice with Fish Fillet, topped with Mushroom Sauce, plus Extra Cheese! *grins happily* It's so awfully niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! ^^







And to be fair to all the dim sum, and prevent myself from being the qian gu zui ren, i pointed out which dim sum were nice, and deardear chose TWO from my like many many 6 or 7 choices. hahahhaa.

So, the winners were...

Pan-fried erm, Turnip Pudding or something like that?? =XX hahahhaa~ i can't rmb the name for nuts! You just have to know it's take-a-bite, fly-to-the-sky quality!! =)





And the second winner was Xiao Long Bao!! =) It was very very nice too! But i personally feel that there has been nicer xiao long bao in history~ Hahaha.

And of coz the very feared and sad thing had to happen - the skin tore, and the soup flowed out!!! *cries and wails and grieves for 1 minute* =((

Yay~ And deardear agreed with me that all the food was very very very nice, albeit being a little ex.. Hahaa. =) I love Lao Xiang Gang to bits, i swear! I was just a little sad ytd, coz got so much nice stuff we couldn't order coz there was only the two of us. So, somebody pls organise a mass outing there, so we can order a lot a lot of the dim sum, and the yummy french toast, and the dessert, and the har gow, and the chee cheong fun, and the ... and the ... ... .... hahahaa~ YAY!!!! i always get uber high thinking about Lao Xiang Gang!! It's my most most most fav fav fav-est hongkie restaurant in singapore!! ^^

And i was very excited about all the food, even after dinner last night! Hahahaa. Coz i realise all the food looks very nice in my new hp camera!! Wahahah~ And looking at the nice food photos, i was suddenly very happy i waited for so long to get my desired hp!! Hahahahaa.. I can't believe i love my camera coz of the food photos i took with it! I'm such a bimbo glutton!! =XXX

Lol.

And, we had to take photos of the signboard and stuff of coz...






And i think the photos all look kind of weird, coz the lighting was quite poor, and we were all uber sian diao, after so many failed attempts to take a proper photo! =(

And so i decided to take the lovely signboard and stuff =))





PPL pls go to Lao Xiang Gang!! Tingting highly recommends for hongkie food lovers!! ^^ Prices are slightly above average though. Like we ate all that for about $33 ytd. They do charge the 7% GST, but there's NO service charge though! =) They serve steamboat too!! But also quite ex i think. Bert ate before, can ask him whether it's nice or not. Hahahaa.

Anyways, it's at 86 East Coast Road, Blk A Katong Village, #01-01/10,, and it's open 24 hours x 365 days!! Can go there for supper or during cny too! ^^ It's kind of opposite Aston btw! Lols. So if you're feeling reallyyyy hungry, you can go for both!! Wahahaha~

Ok, back to my agenda for the day...

9. So, after a very very full and uberly satisfying meal, we started strolling and talking happily. And we walked and walked and walked, and unknowingly finished the whole stretch of East Coast Road, and walked on to like BEDOK, before we stopped at a bus stop after more than an hour, and took bus 12 back to Pasir Ris. Yay~ Uber lor. We walked like more than 10 or 15 bus stops, and it felt so nice clinging on to deardear and walking in the cool night breeze! ^^ *happy!* I think we about burned off all the fats we consumed!! tee-hee. =D

10. And after bathing and stuff when i reach home, i started reading the Adolescent lecture notes...until meimei sms me to nag me to go online reply her email! hahahaha~

11. So i went online, confirmed Elections stuff here and there, chatted with meimei,

12. and did my weekly report and stuff for RA, and replied the many many questions quli bombarded us with.

13. And then waited for deardear to finish his game of dota, and i started uploading yummy photos plus photos of ah xuan taken last wk! ^^









hahaaha. I think she's a natural!! ^^

hehh. off to help mummy with some bai bai stuff. bleahs. gotta study later!!! hahaha~

and btw, today is my lunar birthday! happy birthday to me!! =)) ahahaa~
