Live from Changi Airport Terminal 2

Finally, it's the day of my long awaited Taipei trip, had been beri excited the whole day knowing tat I will be flying off early in the morning..Panicked abit I had not finished packing..Thus,I chiong all the way hm after all to pack the remaining stuff..Thank god for the outstanding list I came out with, the process is still consider smooth..

The only little hiccup is tat Mr Love needs to work OT..off all days, he need to stay bak today..As I waited anxiously for him to knock off, I tried to pack watever I can 1st and took a long hot shower..Luckily, he didn't stayed long, reaching hm at 8pm..

We decided to come to the airport early so tat he can eat popeyes for his dinner and after which,we will camp out here to wait for our flight which is at 7am..

We found a new cafe selling soups n sandwiches and I brought a bowl to try at 1am..not bad I shd say buy juz abit overpriced..6.70 for a bowl of chickie soup with corn...ermmmmzzz...

I tried in vain ti catch some slp but was waking up every 30 min and I finally gave up trying now as I am typing this post..Mr Love is even more zai, he haven even closed his eyes since reaching here..I reckon he will knock out as soon as we board the plane..Whahah

Truth to be told, I am beri hungry now and is not sure why, am waiting patiently outside burger king now, for them to start serving breakie..shall eat before we proceed to check in at 5 later..

Ciao for now and I shall update when I reached Taipei hotel..tat is if the wifi dun fail me..Taipei, here we come!!!woots!!!!

3days to Taipei..

3days more and we will be on the flight to Taipei already..I shd be uber happie at this short getaway, but I am so tied up by all the happenings tat I am so unsure whether I can njoy this trip or nt..

Nevertheless, I will try my best to put all things down and try to be happie for this 4days trip, afterall, when I come bak, there are things waiting for me to handle..

I totally have no choice over the recent happenings and is trying my best to give the due attentions to it, but in the process, I need to make some decisions and choose to neglect some things..

Those who are neglected might not understand why i make the decision, afterall, they are at the expense of my decision, but what to do?I cannot please every 1 can I? I admit, I am nt able to juggle with every thing, but try as I might, I am doing my best le..

Cindy is rite, I shd do wat I deem best and hope things will work out well, even if it doesnt, at least I can answer to my conscience...

Detoxing before my Taipei trip..

My Taipei trip is juz ard the corner and I juz have to got food poisoning at this time..It started yest but went away in the evening after taking medicine making me juz well enuff to go for Mr Love's dad bday celebration and we took steam boat..

But all was not meant to be, in the middle of night, I woke up with a serious stomachache and started vomitting..In the end, I woke up 3 times during the night to run to the toilet..

I was so tired tat, at times, I tried to ignore the pain and try to fall aslp bak but until when I cannot stand the pain, den I ran to the toilet again..

All those running bak n forth makes me slp like a log this mornin..The pain went away after all the things inside my stomach are being forced out..

Went to the doc with an empty stomach..Dun feel like eating anyting for fear that it will come out before I know it..While the doc was listening to my stomach during the check up, he suddenly asked me whether I am hungry?whahaha I was abit embarassed that he found out I am hungry when my stomach growls...

Hubs was joking to me tat it muz be a detox program for me b4 our Taipei trip so tat I can eat more during our trip..win oredi lo..For now, the diahhrea had stopped..I will be bringing all the medicine to Taipei, juz in case...

Rajah Inn Porridge buffet..

Mr Love's colleague intro us to a new buffet in Tiong Bahru Plaza serving porridge and steamboat buffet...

As we are going for steamboat tmr, we decided to check out the porridge line..

Nothing beri fantastic to be frank, but I like it..Given the price is onli SGD 6.90, its a eat all you want buffet, but dun expect to find alot of meat/fishes served here. There is onli 1 of each (meat,chickie,fish)..

But there is quite a range of the side dishes tat goes well with porridge, like salted egg, si chuan veggie, mei cai, ikan billis, deep fried and roasted peanuts etc...

Its abit like the typical teochew mui which suits be juz well..there is aso sweet potato in the porridge although I dun take..heheh

I went for 2 servings for the side dishes along with 3 bowls of porridge..While Mr Love concentrate more on the dishes and with 1 bowl of porridge onli..

The onli downside here is the drinks, which cost 2bucks for a cup..abit overpriced but u can always choose not to order :)..

We decided that we willl come try the steamboat buffet someday and we know where to go when we wanted someting light to start off the day ;)

The selection



Round 1..Fight!!



2nd round







快乐少一人分享，快乐只剩下一半。。

Found a new favourite song, "一半" from 叮当..

I like this particular phase in this song "快乐少一人分享，快乐只剩下一半"

How true..Some may argue that they are as happie even they dun have the significant other to share their happiness..yesh, but to me, nothing beats being able to share ur woes/happiness/tots with tat 1 and onli important person in ur life..

Being able to share the love of food, the joy of travelling together, the crappy things tat are happening in office, the memories when we look bak as we walked future down our life are priceless...

快乐多一人分享，快乐多了一倍。。

Tennis anyone?

After joggin juz nw, we watched others played tennis as we sat to rest before Mr Love continues to do his pull up..

Was telling him I used to wish to take up tennis but becuz of the high coachin fees, I gave up the idea.. Unlike badminton which I picked up on my own, I find tennis more difficult though I did not have a chance to try it yet..

I nearly did once during my poly yrs, but I got posted to the volleyball grp when the no. of students were full..

Anyways, I aso didnt tell Mr Love that part of the reason I wanted to learn tennis is becuz the guy i used to haf a crush on is an avid tennis player and was on my sec sch team..
But then I aso like the game la..whahahah..

While we were watching them, Mr Love suddenly offered to teach me the game, telling me he had got a Level 1 certificate in coaching from Sports council..But the point is, he neber learnt it before lo..So much for offering to be my coach..

In the end, the dream gotta be shelf again..I wondered will I be able to learn tennis..whahaa

代代相传。。

Hafing been with Mr Love thru his NS days, I hear countless stories of his NS days.. In fact, I noe every little detail lo..He will tell me stories when he book out during wkends, during our nightly calls (when he is lucky enuff to be able to call) and even after he ORD, he would aso re-tell his stories again..whahah

And so, he was feeling bored 1 day and decided to find bak some of his fond memories..and so, we went to Changi Village food centre to eat the food he used to order for supper during his guard duties..

While there, we see quite a handful of army guys frm his camp buying food from the stalls tat he used to patronised..and he told me tat, it seems like they passed the routine from batch to batch, all ordering the same food during guard duty...whahah

The onli difference now is, we are njoying the food without having to serve duty while back then, onli during duty times, he can order in the food..

Fried chickie hor fun

Red tea longgan

Well, it brought back good memories while we were there, remindin the yrs of his NS which he can go on & on bout the various stories :)

STE kakis..

Its a wonder how we become fwens given the short period we known each other and the fwenship is going on the 8th yr..

I was posted to STE TBU-installation team for my industrial attachement program bak in 2003..Was 19 then and I was the onli 1 from my program being allocated to this project despite hafin 30+ coursemates in the same co.

Got to noe Jo, who later became my didi was aso assigned to the same dept but he is from another polytechnic..We found out about 1 wk later that we both are born on same day,month and yr with 5hrs apart..And I am the older twin...whahah

Ah Xiong who is my course mate joined after I finish serving my IA, but as I extended my time there, I got to know him in STE..funnie thing is, we did not even noe each other in poly..

Chris and Jie Jie belongs to the admin team and our cubicle are side by side...And they always shared their tins of biscuits with us, chat when we r free since we are juz beside each other..I am aso not sure when did we formed a grp..but I rem Chris givin me rides back to the west area where he takes night classes..

Shu shu is still with the installation team when we r serving our IA there, it is onli later after we went bak to sch den he got transferred to the Signals team..Out of the all the engineers tat, shu shu is the onli 1 who take most care of us and is the closest to us...

Besides imparting his knowledge to us, we will bully him into buying breakfast and tea breaks for us...heheh..He will aso entertain us with his endless stories and his funnie funnie ideas..whahha..

Every 1 moved on to different phase of our lives but still, we managed to keep in contact..Having gatherings once in a blue moon to catch up on our recent happenings..
I'm grateful to haf crossed paths with them in my life and will treasured this fwenships..
Cheers my fwens..looking forward to our next gathering

Grp photo to end the night :)

Cold turkey

Last nite, Mr Love was telling me he is hungry and wanna eat our fav chips brought from AMK..heheh...

I told him tat cannot, cuz he keep saying tat he is gettin fatter, thus snacking is out of the question..

He was torn between eating and not eating with me keep teasing him on putting on weight...whahah

Noe wat he did in the end, he went into our covers and act like he is shivering under the covers..

When I asked him wat he is doing, he said that he is suffering from cold turkey from not able to eat the chips...whahhaah

I luff for a good 5 min while waiting for him to fnish his act...

Maiden trip to Boleh land southern most city

Fwens ard noe me as half a msian, as mummy is frm boleh land..I used to spend my holidays there during my sch yrs..

But mummy will not bring us on day trips to JB though her hometown is in Johor state. Reason being, it is not safe AT ALL...with the stories we heard, news we saw, mummy neber felt safe bringing us there..

Tat being said, I aso did not attempt to go there on my own, even when friends will ask me along during my poly yrs..Mummy dun give visa la...

Recently, Mr Love's colleague had been raving on how good the massage there are, making him super tempted to go try..And after much discussion, we decided to make a trip there last sunday afternoon...

We were suppose to go with bestie & her baker but pulled out last min..They are gonna shop for lights n curtains while we are more interested in pampering ourselves..

Woke up late at 11am (wat's new) and took a heavy breakfast as I'm afraid we will be struck in the jam and starve to death...Okie, it is juz me who will be strave to death..whahha..

Cleared both customs an hr later..The thing I dun like about boleh land's customs is that their efficiency..Can vomit blood ar..The way the officer filp our passport pg by pg makes me wanna jump out of the car to slap him and ask him to wake up and do the job..No wonder the jam at their side was so long..

Then, we relied on our not veri realiable GPS to bring us to Sutera Mall in Skudai.. Though I noe how to make my way bak to mummy's hometown, but sad to say, I am not able to navigate my way thru JB town..whahahha..I onli noe how to get to the expressway and go hm..*bleah*

According to bestie, the mall is quite near to customs de..But it took us more than half an hr to travel there...At 1 point, the both of us were wondering whether the GPS is not accurate, but then it seems like its the correct way in the end and it is indeed half an hr from customs..

The carpark was quite empty when we reached at 12.30 and we went to explore the mall and cool ourselves down 1st..After that, Mr Love decide that he wanted to search for the massage centre and then we proceed outside..

1st visit...

The mall view frm the carpark

He beri best lo, didnt bring the name of the centre, did not bring the map that his colleague had drawn for him and ask me to juz randomly walk ard to search for it, base on the description that he vaugely rememebered..The are at least 5 rows of shops each stretching at least 1 whole street there..

Juz as I was gettin frustrated, I suddenly see this shop which provides massage service..Not sure whether this is the 1 his colleague recommend but i am too lazy to walk any further and I decided to go in le..

The charges are RM68 for an hr of foot massage and 30min of half body massage..Which is pretty cheap as compared to SG charges..We were then brought to a room where we waited for the masseurs to come..As we waited, did abit of camwhore and I played ard with the TV...hehehe

Getting ready to slp..

Mr King..whahha

In summary, I quite like the foot massage although it is quite ticklish at times..And I can realli feel tat my legs got lighter after that when I stood up...Mr Love thinks otherwise though..He finds it painful..I reckon tat its becuz he did not tell the masseur that the strength was too much and he juz bear with the pain..whahah

The 30min half body massage was not so good though as I think it is not enuff..and i can still feel the ache in my shoulders after the massage..We decided to go try Thai massage the next time as hubs did not realli njoy their service..

It was already 2.30 when we finished the massage session and headed for lunch in the mall..Settled for a cafe name "Star Rock" and ordered my main course..Both of us ordered pastas and a plate of wedges to share..Bill was ard RM40 and is considered after the exchange rate..Food was good aso..

My Main- some beef pasta...



my fav wedges



His Main

Didnt do any shopping there and decided to head hm after my meal..It is already 4pm when we left and we reached SG at 5.30pm...

I think Mr Love is in love with going on this short trip as it is something different from where we go in SG...

I luv my mummy....

It was raining cats & dogs as I made my way to work yesterday..On days like this, I always curse and swear as I tried to squeeze my way into/out of MRT, trying to get on the buses w/o getting wet/pushed by those KIASU plp...but wat to do? Every 1 is trying to do the same ting at the same time, some1 gotta end up getting wet in the process dependin on whether u r the suay 1...

Anyways, after coming out frm the concourse, I spotted a daddy trying to dry his young sch-going daughter..Even with an umbrella, she still got wet, and then proceed to help her changed into her sch shoes from her slippers..And he look so loving to his daughter..It made me smiled as I recalled my younger sch days..

Mummy is famous for not bringing us to sch/waking up to prepare us for sch..But on days that have super heavy rain, she would still get her lazy bum off the bed and instruct us to go to sch in slippers and pack our sch shoes and socks in a plastic bag and hand carry to sch..Then she will go to sch with us and let us changed into our sch shoes at the canteen b4 going home and continuing her slp.whahaha

This happens when I was in pri sch where the sch is juz 2blks away frm my hse..I would secretly be happie that it is raining so heavily cuz I get to walk to sch with mummy which is rarer than the chance of striking Toto..

I remembered 1 more incident that when I was in kindergarden.It was raining super heavily and the drains were all flooded..When we came in front of the drain, mummy told me she would piggy back me up the stairs so tat I would nt get wet..And she piggy back me all the way back to our blk but not up to our hm which is on the 4th floor(bleah)..

It was the 1 and onli time in my memory that my mummy piggyback/carry me..Of cuz nt counting when I was an infant (I have no distinct memories bak then)..Her attention was always on the younger rascal who was 3yrs younger and took away my attention when i was 2 as she had to prepare me for his arrival...

The scene yesterday realli made my day, despite having to brave the rain to work..It reminds me how much mummy luv me although while trying to train us to be independent...She is still there for me whenever I need her the most...Luv u mummy... *muacks*
