Singapore X'mas 2009 (1)

This vacation brought happiness and also tiredness in all of us. Eventhough Singapore is a small country, but the place is really a nice place to stay as the country is really CLEAN! Maybe because of the attitude and culture where Singaporean really likes the country to be clean, or because of the penalty for littering etc..? Anyhow it is really comfortable and much more cleaner than our own country, this we all have to admit that. No matter in small and not much developed area such as Little India, the place still clean and just as nice. Even you are walking during midnight time, you won't feel so afraid of people disturbing or trying to rob you (eventhough I'm not clear on the security and crime rate in the country). We went there for X'mas celebreation anyhow the funny thing is we missed the parade. They have parade around 5 pm which we are still in the mall as we expect parade should be around midnite and everyone is enjoying the few minutes towards Christmas just like the new year countdown. Since we are not able to witness the parade, thus we just continue to squeeze ourselves among the crowd that floading Orchard Road. Along the streeet around 4 km, the giant shopping complexes are just next to each other and we only manage to visit through less than half before we surrender due to foot pain. That same morning we have been to Singapore Zoo till 5pm before we get down to shopping. Everywhere is lights and decorations that seems they threw in a huge budget to beautify the country during special occasion that attract the tourists from other countries. We bump into a lot of Malaysians too..

Christmas Party in Half-Way Home

Today Half-way Home Residents is enjoyed their Christmas Party organised by Taiwan Buddhist Tsu-Chi Association. Eventhough I felt very weird as they organised this celebration which suppose is by Christian, so at first still thinking what would they sing? Christmas song? In the end, they just sang their own songs and I dun feel any Christmas's joyous atmosphere being created. Anyhow they are just completing their mission and of course we welcome them as those residents in Half-Way Home be very happy since got a lot of people celebrating with them, provides foods, gifts, and entertainment as they are mostly being aboondan by their family after being discharged from the hospital. It's a good thing after all..

P/S: Anyhow they are too nice that give me a plate of those vegetarian food which more than half of the food I didn't eat and cannot accept it.

Lee's homecook

Christmas's candle deco..

Today suppose is not a very good day for me.. However, in the end I end up making cheese baked rice, erm big sis's special request. Thus, we went to buy those ingredients- main ingredients such as mozarrella cheese and beef. Done all, eat..just as that simple.:-p

Night operation in the sPring..:-p

One of those shops that has closed in that floor.. The little white doggy pendant looks much like Blackie! Just opposite in colour..Omg!

Joa next to Christmas tree..:D

Raptai..

Site preparation

After finish watching "Zombieland" in MBO last night, me and Joa have to wait till sis finishes her movie "Avatar" which starts at the same time. Anyhow their movie is almost 1 and half hour longer than ours, thus we just exporing around that 2nd floor. We saw some people still busy working, preparing for the next day show (raptai) or exhibition. They are those working when the mall is close for public (except the cinema). Seems like everyone is working hard to make the ends meet. We are so fortunate.

木木小屋- Strongly NOT recommended

Nice hanging but the words doesn't bring any special message to me..

"Just defrozen sio be"

Pale looking barley

Sis's oily bihun

My so-called "Thai Fried Mee"

That day just feel hungry and Joa is meeting people, so just drop by a cafe which look quite nice in renovation and environment, name double wood house in Padungan. When look at the menu, ok it's not much special things to eat, plus they offer 10% off from total bill for dine-in 10am-2pm. Thus, I just roughly chosen the "Thai Fried Mee" and Barley drink and Sis ordered Fried Bihun I think with Teh-C-Peng. Anyhow my fried mee turned out to be "Thai Instant Fried Mee". The mee is no different from "mi segera" like Maggie mee.. N the most important thing is it is not spicy at all and it is too OILY. Tried my best but can't finish this oil. Anyhow I thk sis's bihun is even worse that she give up too. Ok, deep fried "sio be" suppose wont be too bad I thought bt I was wrong from the very first bite I had. It's just eating a cold, frozen yet oily food, dunno if it should be called "food". The barley even had a very weird smell, seems that they have keep it frozen for a LONG time..Poor little house, I think they should have change their servings to keep alive.
