Expo Mania Today

Singapore Expo is extremely crowded today... lots of events happening today: License-2-Play (with Toy Carnival), Popular Fair, Food Fair, John Little Sale, etc etc... Hear people complain that they are caught in a jam for 3 hours before able to drive into the Expo car park... Heng ah, I expected this to happen, and decided to go by bus, hahaha... Personal haul (partial) as seen below:


John Little Expo Sale - Met up old secondary school friend Xiao Wei there!! So coincidence, and she also bumped into CYQ earlier! What a small world... Now she is already a mother of 2, so fortunate...

The Toy Carnival - this year is a little small corner, compared to last year's 2 levels, sigh.. , just some stalls, and not many have wonderful offers...

S'pore Food Fair - Was too crowded and too late, so did not venture into it...

Dinner Now...

Yup, my dinner now... Oil-Chicken Rice (油鸡饭)... home-cooked... niceeeee....

Lunch at Xing Wang (Terminal 3)

Went to Xing Wang Cafe at Terminal 3 today, after praying session at Bugis... Got to wait for a short while, place still full around 1 plus 2pm... Ordered the Char Siew Rice with Fried Egg... Nice!!!! Comes with 2 little deep-fried wan-tons... ok, maybe a little too sweet... but its ok for me... First time drinking iced coffee-tea mix, nice too!!! Totally enjoyed the lunch... (some other food not in picture are 3-mushrooms-cabbage, pan-fried chive dumplings, all very nice!!)

Interesting Stuff

Saw these beautiful wine bottles in the Cash Converter... Eiffel Tower shaped bottles, interesting, aren't they? ... =)

Today my dad bought this... ENORMOUS size banana!!! ... He says the local name is Ox-Horn banana... size comparison with Nutella jar...

... its almost the size of my arm!!!!!

Amazing....

p.s. Sick since last night.. or this morning... ard 1 plus am... vomit... diarrhea... but still got to go work... hope can recover soon...

Edifier E3350 Multimedia Sound System

Bought this set of multimedia speakers Edifier E3350 at Courts today... $79, quite cheap... my dad bought the other Altec Lensing one... at 3 times of wht I paid for this, hahaha...

Tested it out, not bad!! Now waiting for night to fall and use my projector + sound system to covert bedroom to cinema, wahahahaha....

Edit:
Tested out... watched Transformers with my projector and used this system, its like in a cinema!!! really!!! ... tested out the Pirates of the Carribean III too... very nice... treble is a bit on the low, maybe I put the woofer too loud... but negligible... I mean, this is more than good enough already!!!! Other fators like my small room and air-conditioned also helps in the sound... Of course there are better systems, but hey, at this price, it performs excellent... real good...

Happy Lunar New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, Happy Lunar New Year to all!!!!!!!! Wishing all of you out there to have a happy, healthy and prosperous Tiger year!!!!! 恭喜发财!!!!!!! (Yeap, I am staying up on Eve till next day, to follow the old custom of 守睡 which will supposedly make parents life longer, hahaha.. and now is around 5.30 am already... very sleepy... will sleep around at 6am, hopefully considered as morning already... )

Above is a picture of 小年夜, which is the eve of Lunar New Year Eve... wet-market will sell till the next morning... and this year, NTUC and ShingSong are also opening till next morning... fun to shop and see people still queueing up at midnight, and crowds are still there when I left at 12.25 am...

Tonight's Dinner & Etc

My dinner tonight... Fried Egg with Dark Soy Sauce with Rice... Simple yet NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks Father!!!)


... of course my parents also cooked bean sprouts, soy-sauce fish (which I ask them not to prepare my portion) and lettuce soup (very nice, the lettuce!!!!!)... Simple, yet NICE!!!!!!!!!! (deja-vu...)


Bought a HUGE Doraemon lollipop (made in Taiwan) some time ago and finally got time to open up a few days ago... inside got 12 little lollipops, very cute...

.. lastly, saw this candy vending machine today in market... very cute machine... Although it is neat and looks clean... I wonder how many kids would actually insert in coins and buy from this...
