House Chores duties..

I have relinquish my laundry duties and pass them to Mr Love long time ago leaving onli folding and ironing of clothes in the whole cycle of laundry..
My cheeky husband wanted to try his luck last nite and thus when he notice I was dozing off on the bed, we had the following conversation :

Mr Love: “老婆，去洗衣了”
Me: ：“Huh, 不要啦，我很累了，没力气这折衣服了啦。。”
Mr Love: “老婆，你听好，我是叫你洗衣，不是折而已。。”
Me (Awaken by then): “你讲多一次？”
Mr Love: “我明天才洗。。。”

Hehehe He tot I would not be alert to take note of what he is toking..whhaha But I'm well trained de leh, cuz he always try to smoke me while I am dozing off..

But seems like he is well trained too..hehehe

World class transport system...

I used to proudly tell my relatives in Msia, we Singapore have a world class transport system..Unlike them, I dun need to haf a car to get ard here..Our buses and trains system are well connected to every part of Singapore and is pretty efficient..

However, recently, if you asked me to make this statement again, I would not be able to bring myself to do that..

Why is it so? In a span of 1 5days, our train systems which most plp rely on failed us 3 times..And on top of it, twice are on peak hours leaving plp stranded in the stations, creating jams on the road, chaos in the station...

I have fwens who posted online tat a 30min journey turned into a 3hr 1, plp in taxi nearly got a heart attacked from watching the meter jumped while being struck in the traffic jam on the expressway, some couldnt even get a cab despite willing to pay the extra charges of booking 1...

I was lucky to escape unscathed on all 3 occasions, becuz of the area I was staying was unaffected..but it does makes me wonder when would it affect the line I usually take? After all, I rely on the train to get to town before goin to office, without the train service, it is virtually impossible to get to my office by bus as there are no direct bus from my area to my work area...

Despite mounting public anger the same stretch tat was affected on thursday evening was down again this morning..I onli realised when i saw my FB...Many of my fwens were complaining..And I was slping..whahaha...

Did SMRT realli learnt their lesson? I dun think so...An apology, and full refund of the fares is not wat we need..Who needs ur apology? We want answers...Full refund? If it was me, I would even bother..80 or 90 cents and I have to go queue up and fill in some bloody forms and the whole process will waste my precious 20mins? Juz by thinking of it, I would rather treat it donation to u SMRT. Towards the pay of your useless CEO..

If SMRT is truly apologetic, they should have waived the mrt fares on all their lines for 2days, dun think it juz affect those who took the trains on the affected times..How about those who waited for those affected? How about those who found out in time about the disruption and avoid going to the stations? It affects the whole Singapore, not juz the few thousand who were present there during the breakdown..You are not looking at the big picture SMRT, and we are no fools either...

Our dear transport minister issued a statement saying something like he is concerned about the well being of the commuters blah blah blah and will look into this issue blah blah blah again..End of the findings? Fine SMRT and close case? Where does the monies goes?Government.Wat do the commuters get? Price hike due to the "rising operational cost"..Does it solve the problems? You bet it DOES NOT!

Why couldnt the LTA force them to decrease the price if the service is not up to the standard and they are not doing enough to maintain the system? The price hike in Oct 11 obviously is not justified when the service is disrupted thrice in 1 wk..LTA acts fast when SMRT raised their concerns over increasing operational costs and thus asking for hike but turned to a deaf ear over the commuters complaints on the inefficiency of the train/bus services...

This is totally unacceptable..And to apologised everytime an outrage occurred is useless..If no plans are made to keep the systems well maintained, tell me where did all the monies go? To the P&L and can be declared as dividends at year end issit? SMRT do not deserve to have a profit in their books with this kind of service!!! The onli reason they can is becuz they are well protected by the Singapore goverment and monopolized our transport system, leaving us with no choice but to take and endure the poor service they provided..

Juz take a trip to HK or Taiwan or even Bangkok, you will find a more cheaper, sophisticated subway system in place not to mentioned cheaper and more efficient..Our Singapore 1 pales in comparisions to them..

Excuse me why I go hide myself in shame for once declaring our transport system to be world class...

I love Singapore but not our government...

Seriously, I do love this little red dot I am living in, even though been complaining about it endlessly..But hey, the fact that I complained is becuz I cared kk...I would have heck care if I dun give a damn about my own country..

But come to think of it, does our government cares whether we love our country or not? I seriously do not think so..Personally, I feel that our gov is obsessed with trying to clinch the No. 1 position in many of the world class findings rather than to concentrate on making life better for their citizens..I guess in their heart, they oredi made our life better as compared to 40+yrs ago when Singapore was juz founded..

No doubt we are indeed leading a much better life now, but hey, you cannot juz stop there n let us decline while you try to compete with the other big ass countries for the No.1 position rite??

You wanna make our country more competitive and hence opent the floodgate to foreigners reducing our wages in the process..Then on the other hand, inflation goes up..How is it that our life is gonna gets better with this?

You may attract foreign companies to invest and set up branches here, but at the end of the day, the bulk of the employees in these companies are not true-blue Singaporeans! They will be the cheaper FT..So you are juz providing the oredi limted space for them to come set up company and employ their own plp...Why do this?Why waste our land?

I used to be a loyal supporter of our government b4 this election..Books in sch taught me how the MIW make Singapore a better place to live in, how we progressed ahead of the other countries despite hafin a late start..I was convinced back then we had the best government in the world though there were complaints of being autocratic instead of like wat our pledge say "To bulit a democratic society", the high pay of our office holders were justified bak then to me as there will doing a good job, but these days, I feel its juz a waste of the taxpayers monies...

Had the quality of the office holders dropped as compared to the older generation or had the expectations of the younger generations grew higher as compared to our older generation? I dunno, it maybe both...

The policies that our government had in place were sort of secretive to us commoners, with us finding out when its too late (Floodgate incident), finding out by word of mouth (PRC telling me my gov sponsored their studies here), finding out in time but with no say (they went ahead with building extension line to JB where they cannot even managed the SG line properly)..

With all these disappointments, 1 cannot blame us for turning our backs to the gov and instead start to show support for the other parties..They, in turn are able to point out and relate to the everyday problem we faced instead of telling us to stop whinning and accept the fact..

If the gov cannot even bother to listen to their citizens and want us to listen to them onli, then I think its time for us to get some voices to go tell them to wake up their idea..

When the time comes, I hope it will realli be like wat is said in our pledge that I used to recite every day when in school "So as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our Nation...

Xmas songs..

After dinner at T3, we walked ard abit and came across some old uncles performing xmas songs for a crowd..

Stop by and listening to their singing..No doubt they were old, but their singing are realli good and they brought out the joyful spirit of Xmas..

Stood there to njoy their singing while basking in the spirit, for a moment I tot Xmas is here oredi...whahah

So happie to come across this little performance today, ends my day with a happie note..Merry xmas, hohoho

My wish this year

Talkative me

Many times, plp ard us always ask me how I manage to communicate with the seemingly quiet hubsband..

Dun ask me, I dunno, but seriously we do haf a lot to tok about, though it takes quite a long while for him open up to me...

But cuz I am the MORE talkative half, I always haf something to tok about at any time of the day given I am in the mood..heheh

To prove my point, here are some weddin shoots taken 3yrs ago, while we tok the photographer is not taking shots, we started chatting and end up getting captured..Their comments to Mr Love at the end of the shoot "Your wife is realli chatty"...

Check out these photos...

Luffing out at some jokes and the photographer snaps..

Chatting in the park

While waiting, we chatted again..heheh

Chatting while posing

Chatting on the beach

行到水穷处，坐看云起时。。。

Learnt this from a china TV serial I watched recently..Researched on the meaning and found it to be quite encouraging..

Many a times, in our life, we bound to met with obstacles..If we are not able to cross them, we can try to take a step bak, whu noes, there might be another way out.. In short, it's saying is there is nothing tat cannot be overcome..

True, there were many instances I got frustrated with the situation with no solution and got despair..But sometimes, if I took a step bak to ponder, and to leave things as it is, I would suddenly got the solution or a new insight to the problems..

Tat being said, its not a easy thing to do when you met with problems, your mind muz be clear and calm enuff to take a step bak, and I muz confessed I do not have this ability most of the time...

Looking forward to the new yr, I hope I will be granted more wisdom to face and overcome watever obstacles tat are thrown to me..Even I am not able to solve them, I hope to haf the wisdom to carry out this phase and lead a happier life..Tat, would be my new year resolution...

李式笑话- Dating or Married

The other day, after Mr Love had finished parking the car, as we were getting down, I saw the guy opposite us opening the door for his female passenger to get in before going back to his seat to start the car..

And I refuse to budge from my seat, insisting Mr Love aso do the same for me as he had neber done it before..

His reply is "Tat 1 is initial stages of DATING, we are Married, no need la"

=_=''

Hot star has landed on our shores..

1 of the reasons why we like goin Taipei is becuz we r so in love with the Hot Star fried chickie from Shihlin Night Marekt..

Read in 8days weeks ago tat they are gonna open a stall in SG and decided we shd go try (No need to fly to Taipei every yr to eat it..heheh)

And so, we made our way to City Square Mall which is pretty out of the way for us but we were determined to go try..heheh

Well, the wait there was quite long, maybe 10min as they onli start to deep fry the chickie after we ordered to ensure the tastiness..

Unlike the stall in Shihlin, which have unlimited stream of customers, we did not have it here, thus explaining the slow service..If u have been to the Taipeu branch, they are able to serve it hot and fast as they can prepare alot due to the fact that there would be plp queuin up to buy the whole night..Maybe they will slow down as it gets later la, but while I was there till 10pm, the queue is still as crazy as it was when I reached at 6pm..

The taste is the same as there as I read in tat article tat the boss personally went to Taipei to learn the ropes so as to ensure the standards...They aso offered other items like fries and mushrooms which is non existent in the Taipei stall...I did not try them though, might do so the next time..

But as agreed by Mr Love, althought the taste is the same, the feeling is not though. Perhaps our minds have been preset by the ambience in Shihlin, juz dun feel the kick while eating here..

Nevertheless, its a good alternative to curb our cravings..hehehe

The stall

My piping hot fried chickie!!!
