Went to this cafe outside.. waiting for that 2 peeps that went their own way.. We waited like how long.. Then karen msged.. we are in the cab see you guys back in the hotel... wah lau... wait for what rite.. so we use Tessa transport fund.. Don't care ah` Alright this is day one at Suan Lum..

Thai food lovers : there is this place at vivo city call Thai accent... It serves authentic thai food.. Vivo city level 2... I was there yesterday.. It was really yummy.. you guys got to try their green curry.. supper yummy.. and their thai ice tea.. I miss my thai ice tea.. I want some more.. But not very cheap le.. but if you guys can afford sushi tei that has a long queue most of the time... why not try thai accent.. really delicious.. wah.. I'm thinking of the thai ice tea now.. Show I go get it tonight again? omg addicted to ice tea.. Their mango sticky rice is also quite afforable $6.50 only.. around the same price as bkk.. hee`
Dont' try their
Phad-Thai Fried Noodles with Prawns ($11.90). It's too dry le.. kup kup one.. this dish definitely has more room for improvement.. It's nic's breakfast and lunch for the next day.. It was too spicy for me..



This place is way better than thai express..




east meet west, west meet east

I watch 3 kingdoms last night. Apparently, the story has been twisted badly by this show. In the show zhao zi long ( Zhao yun ) died due to his brother ( Luo ping an) but in fact he didn't die that way la. He died due to old age. There is no such person is ping an.

From wiki: Guan Yu was executed by Sun Quan after Sun's generals Lü Meng and Lu Xun collaborated with Cao Cao's Forces to attack Jingzhou. Huang Zhong died in 220, possibly of illness. Zhang Fei was assassinated by his 2 subordinates due to his strict methods of discipline and affinity for wine. Liu Bei, grieved over his 2 brothers death and led a punitive expedition against Eastern Wu. Ma Chao died of an illness some years later. Only Zhao Yun died of a natural cause at the old age of 70.


In the show, Zhao zi long fought a lady cao ying , cao cao's grand daughter ( maggie Q). Cao ying foughy Zhao yun and they both draw. Simply perfect scene, a girl fight a guy then they draw, cool man. Then imagine in the ancient chinese history, a large group of army men listening to this woman. Try this in the today's boardroom then. You will be surprised~! Then the scene where cao ying keeps playing the chinese guitar is like how unrelated. In 3 kingdom, cao ying is a guy
he is in fact very smart and scheming like his grandfather but he never fight kings/lords don't fight. They give orders.

er.. I dunno why my prof in TWC asked us to do a research on chinese invention. I was cursing ans swearing. Now i know why, explosives weren’t invented during the Three Kingdoms yet! In the show, they were bombing like fireworks on national day la.

o well, I don't know much about 3 kingdom all told to me by smart gamer mr nic.. but it was a really funny show cos of the drums, dancers and the chinese guitar scenes during the war. What is the purpose I dunno but fun lar.. Can see girl fight boy.. Have fun watching..

term break sian - ness

Why this week pass so fast? I have yet visit disneyland.. want to see my bkk trip? i just receive a few of the picts.. we took like 1000+ picts with my fren's new cam.. nice cam... will upload soon.. having term break depression.. and cramps..WheeeEee...

We are all different

Everyone is special in their own individual way. We are brought up in different environment, different family, different culture, different influence. Some might grow up to be confident, lethargic or shy. Some might grow up to be spendthrift, stingy or generous. Some might grow up to be fake, disgusting or sincere. Some might grow to be attractive, smart or empty. I have learnt something. I have learnt that everyone is different but as Asians i have learnt that most are frugal or I can say some stingy. I think it's the culture or upbringing to teach us to be frugal people (but some are stingy when it's over done) and it disgust people like me. As Asian we also like to showoff like look how huge my diamond ring is, look how smart my kids are, look how my watch has more diamonds than yours. We like to compare if we got a better deal or got something better than yours.. Some people's houses are seriously huge to the max and they are generous I must say they are the outliers cos they are super rich but for normal Asians we tend to be more of a showoff and abit stingy. But no matter how big your diamond is or how huge your house is. It's a total turnoff when one is stingy. Seriously, so what yours diamond is huge, I don't care cause you are unwilling to even pay your share for drinks every time turn people off immediately. I don't know everyone has the same definition as stingy. I think I'm frugal but not stingy. I'm willing to treat my friends drinks or lunches or just doing their chores for them. sometimes I get irritated cause I do it too many times and these people take me for granted. But I think stingy is every time when there is a need to pay money one take their own sweet time or be excused or act busy and let the other party pay. I have seen these behaviour many times and I had to pay all the time (not one time that person pay) that's why it irritates me. I was sincere. I think i share most of the time i try to invite when there's party, i introduce to good stuff like websites or even introducing a job. Even automatic-sao can automatic, some can just lived with it and not offer to pay back or to treat in return. Some people are so stingy that they did not even buy a birthday present when they attend a birthday and they are very close to that person. How cool is that. Frugal is that when they don't want that if they don't want to pay then they don't go lor. I'm very anal about this situation as I'm still a student and my mum don't give me my pocket money. I lived on my savings and my internship pay. I don't understand why people that can afford to show off their 10 carat diamond but be so stingy. I feel like the boyfriend, feeding my girlfriend and paying her share for parties or holidays. I'm just a very anal student that is blinded. Or am I wrong? Am I just stingy. Well, at least I know I'm willing to pay for a bottle of water when I'm thirsty and not drink from the toilet.

The worried ones


Just had bbq with a few of the people i grew up with.. We talked.. we talked about what's going to happened in the future.. o'well, conclusion.. our parents and sibilings are going to ruin our future.. *sigh.. yes that is going to be.. as much as we want to walk away from this ..as much as you want to change someone.. you will never have control to this, you can never change people's habits.. I just hope it would be less diffcult next time.. but i don't think that's the case.. I have frens paying off his father debts.. o well i rather start earlier then later.. I think alot of things are out of our control.. The problems was from your parent's family would finally appear in your own.. I must say things will always change.. Everyone rather it change to the better.. alot of things we know but we cannot say.. alot of things you want to throw away.. but cannot.. alot times you wan to give but you cannot.. alot of times you wan walk away but you have no where to walk.. walking away from your parents debt does it make you unfilial? You want to stop the debt from growing bigger but you cannot ... so in the future you don't have to repay so much, so is it your fault that your parents or sibilings are uncontrollable? How can you stop this cycle? How can you just walk away and leave this family behind? It's all about the responsiblilty.. does the person think how hard you earn that money? Do they deserve it? What would happen in the futre.. i dare not think..

Only fit for the queen

I tried the marigold mangosteen drink.. It's not even close to mangosteen and there is no pulp.. But It's a good try.. Taste like cranberry juice.. hee` I think the peeps in marigold are darn smart and creative mangosteen also can make juice.. o'well, 100 point for creative juice but taste.. hmm... I was just happy i got the small sample pack.. hee~




I recently bought a mangosteen snack from bkk.. Super interesting snack.. And it really taste and look like the real one.. just crunchy and yummy.. It's like space food or something.. I really love technology I helps to add flavours to food.. yums.. next time go bkk have to buy... and its really cheap.. Very interesting snack.. love it`! remember to buy this for me whoever is going bkk


I don't know if you guys know there is fish porridge that cost 5 bucks at bukit timah market. I tried it recently 'boy i waited like for an hour.. It was okay lor.. and the chilli was the secret recipe.. Singaporeans would queue and pay for good food.. Apparently my mum treat me like a queen today.. She cook yummy fish prawn egg porridge.. It was yummy and best thing of all no msg.. I hate to eat msg outside.. everything also very heavy in the flavouring just like my china trip.. Mummy's fish porridge was very very nice.. I think cos it's all done by the nicest ingredients.. look how huge the prawns are.. gosh.. GE food`!! lol`! o' well, nothins perfect.. lol`! I was good lar.. yummy.. supper full ger today.. pork chop bun.. egg tart, almond biscuits (mum just went macau) and this.. I was really a queen for the day..
