My niece first "Lo He" - my 3rd time only

Well...I know CNY is over like last Monday, but got photos to share lo...so here it goes...

I know the 撈魚生 thing is done on "人日" but only have it like 2x this CNY..so was thinking of doing it on the last day of Chinese New Year...

We have a really big plate of 魚生 coutesy from "Select" (Use $$ to buy one ok....)

Traditionally, we are to say Auspicious words...while putting in the ingredient....guess..those words..should be my 10% and job....lo....lol...(that's mine, not sure of the rest)


Her first 撈魚生, she is only 5mth old...wo....wonder what she's thinking now
(Baby Xuan : Can eat one or not....why must i use this stick play with my food)

3 big and juicy......icy....猫山王

Dad bought this recently.....for us...lol...really juicy and icy(from the fridge).....but it not the Durian season now...so not not tasty though...

But still it amazing.....

Can't help it...though is fattening...but I LOVE Durians...

Feel like travelling

lol,been a really boring year so far....not that nothing interesting happen.....just that there wasn't much excitement....CNY being the only excitement so far....looking forward to this coming June but depending whether the KK trip is confirm

Been thinking of going oversea for a short trip...places come to mind..

• Vietnam, Tiger Airways....better make it cheap...
  
• Bangkok, Thailand......should be super cheap now....
  
• Siem Reap, cambodia....should be the most expensive...
  

...just want to go for a break.....another issue of worry...the deepen economy crisis and also ....the amount need to visit this places...lol

and Who should I go with....any kaki...want to go with me? ;-p hiaz....thinking...


Vietnam, halong Bay


Siem Reap, cambodia

Let's plan abit on the cost first....

Why are there lesser People @ Sentosa

The Economy Downturn seem to be biting in....seeing the following Trend during CNY

• There are lesser people @ the Cinema this year...All the CNY movies earn less than a million compare to all 3 earning > 2 million last year...(Though this year offering not as good as last year)
• There is even lesser crowd during Saturday Afternoon @ Vivocity. Like most people and shop owner say (aka interview by papers and TV)...this year, more people window shop...and no one is buying....quite True..as most of the people are walking outside the shop...inside shop quite empty
• Lesser people queuing up for the Train to Sentosa to see the Annual Flower Show

Went over to Sentosa hoping to catch "great" photo using my Canon EOS 450D, but bit disappointed though.....There is lesser Flowers around....probably due to Cost Reduction measures?

In all these are the only shop I found interesting enough to "show"...more of these are on Facebook..


Balls of Flower....Let hope our Economy recovers and grew as big...

Details is in the droplet found on the flowers...Water mean money......let hope for more this year....it been a pretty dry season so far with the grass turning "brown" already....but surprising the weather at night is still a cool 26C...woohoo :-)

Beds of Red Flowers....wishing also for good luck..this coming 2009.....

Colourful bed of flowers...didn't bother what kind of flowers are on display....typical of me....since I not really into nature.....lol


Lots of well wishes...all wishing for a good year ahead as well as for relationships...lol

Spend the rest of the afternoon chit-chating abour investment and friendships....with XQ....seems like I need to address friendships and investment alot this year...feel bit....low on these....since...

Squirrel came to visit ......been able to catch this @ max Zoom....



Probably searching for nuts...since Coffeebean's coffee have nutty favour as well.....



Left the place....feeling bit disappointed....wanted to go for the fountain show....but XQ been there 2x already...so no point.....hopefully can come with someone special...next year....u know what I meant....Let start..looking...:-)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons

Went watching Mr Brad getting young....

Have heard stories and comments...about this movie...and I must say I was really touched by how Hollywood is so good at making movies..

They transform the simple life of a person, aka Benjamin Buttons into an inspiring and touching story....ones which prompt me to think of what I have been doing with my life so far?

I must say...to all you girls out there .....who adore Brad Pitt to go see this show....He really look very young....and with a incredible story....as well.



Sharing a summary of what the stories is about...

The show has earn over a $115Millions @ the US boxoffice..already..and is nominated for 13 Oscar Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Brad Pitt...

初一 Visiting...Dinner time...

Lot of New year goodies + Aunt "asam" beehoon does make me wonder if I can keep my tummy from showing.....(FYI, it getting bigger....)

But Still visiting is part of 农历新年, so proceed to grandmum place.....though was really early ...reach there like say 2pm?.....


Just so that baby Xuan can get an early "Ang Bao" from "mama"

Time for a quick change of diapers..before proceeding to the next stop....for them only

I spend the next 3hrs...surfing the net.....boring boring...almost fell asleep

Dinner preparation all done by granny.....she is really a good cook.....though the dishes are similar to last year ones.....they taste fantastic....I like the soup and Chicken wing especially


They always complaint that I am super Lazy....expecially when it comes to peeling prawns....
Find a girlfriend to peel for me...ha...I was thinking.....which girlfriend would peel for their boyfriend.....(wait long long....in Singapore...it usually the other way round:-))

Sweet and sour fish....well...done...and not too "Fishy" as well

My Favorite...tasty and delicious...

Sis finally arrive for dinner...though was late.....so baby xuan get to be carry by alot of people wo

New year goodies...bit different from my uncle place...here they have ..."fried Squid"
but on the whole...everyone is cutting back...lesser goodies also

Mountain of Oranges....is always a good sign....I think I left mine here as well...

All the visiting....kinda end tonight....will be resting at home tomorrow....prepare to get back to work....haha...sad right...

It's the recession and every company is having SHUTDOWN and I still have to work.....
Look at it this way..." The Company is still doing well" :-0

How different is 农历新年,初一 Visiting in 2009?

nothing much have change really....only an older me.....lol...and "fitter" me?

A new member ....baby xuan.....so cute...wo:-)...just 5mths old

As usual....first Stop....Granny place...I suppose this is the first time...granny is carry Baby xuan...

My aunt here with baby xuan and of course...baby's dad lo....baby xuan first "Aug Bao"


Not forgetting a moment with my granny.....she have age alot and now suffer from poor memory...she just recovered from her fever though...lucky she still remember me..


Aunt and Family...I must say ..the baby did bond us together...more


Granny and Sis.......my sis is much closer to granny...

Another different from last year...in 2009, there is much interaction here...got to try out Aunt cooking....Asam Noodles and some New-Year Goodies....and lot of photo taking session..lol.

great contrast with last year..when there isn't as much interaction...and everyone is busy with their own things...

TVB's 與敵同行 - Not too bad

Well....I just finish the show....total of 22 eps. Got to say...the beginning till the ending is exciting...make me want to watch on to finish it to find out what happen next...though I felt the ending is bit disappointing...."open-ended"

郭晉安 and 鄭嘉穎 really did well for their roles....make me really wonder how good these actor really are....that our local counterpart have yet to play as well...

But I Must say...the script is way better than what Mediacorp have to offer....enable those actors to show off their talent...

蒙嘉慧 really improve her acting alot...Last time when I see her act...I felt really uncomfortable with her expression...though she look really hot..though...:-)

Recommend anyone interested in TVB to see it.....watch the trailer to get a preview...
