1st luv SOLD

1.....2.....GONE.....

my house ('her') is gone...just like in an auction when the hammer went down hard on the table, that's how my heart feels right now.

crushed & shattered to pieces..

I have already previously stated that I'm not 100% willing to let go but for the sake of my family, I have to let her go.

Don't ask me how much i have made from this transaction as no amount can justify the love i had for her...5 years of peaceful living, 5 years of beautiful scenery & serenity, 5 years of fond memories...

my friend said 'have to let go wholeheartedly' and my sister replied 'first love is always hard to let go'....it's sooo true!!

It's my first matrimony house after all, a place we have worked hard to buy, argued & fought over the design and where we can walk around the house in the dark with peace...that her beauty...for that i have to make sure the next owners love you like i do.

So long 638...

Vrrrooooooommmmmmm

It's happening, finally here after 10 months of waiting!!

What ah??

Formula 1 Race lah!!

Of course, i'm not a F1 fan but after hearing the loud engine sound booming and all the buzz of this event, i think i'm a convert now!!! From my office, i have a good view of the nicoll highway towards Esplanade and looking at the empty road feel strange. The road was blocked since Tuesday, many of the bosses are stuck in the massive jam for 2-3 hours in the morning!!

Today, i was clearing my work when Zee's boss came over and said the warming up of F1 race has started. No engine sound leh, could it be the thick window slab of our building? Only when i stepped out of our outdoor garden which is facing the Esplanade, i can hear the loud booming sound. SHIOK AH!!!! Oh our floor have a small outdoor garden for those tobacco addicts to have a fix.

First car turning in from Cavanagh Bridge and it's a red car, must be FERRARI!! Next it's a white car, could McLaren car??? wooohoooo...

My building is one of those pictured above

Hub actually got a job as the usher for the event but he gave it up since it's fasting month and it'll be tiring to be there, under the hot sun, the whole day. Felt pity for him but then nothing beats watching the actual event at home, at your own comfort right?? No need to squeeze like sardines from the train station to the event place and be a wet puppy especially the weatherman said its going to rain.

Hearing the vroom vroom engine sound makes my adrenaline shoot up!! This is much better than the fireworks during National Day!!

So be good and stay home to watch the qualifying round tomorrow and finals on Sun! At least some of the Caucasians will know where exactly Singapore is located at now....and not under China lor... ;p

Mid Autumn & Birthday Lurve

MOONCAKES

What does Mid Autumn Festival means??? Besides lantern and moon grazing. Though officially ended yesterday, it means MOONCAKES and more mooncakes. Plenty of mooncakes but only a handful of them are halal. I remembered vividly that I never fancy mooncakes when i was young, i will only take the baked skin and pass the whole lotus paste filling to my grandma. HahHahaa...bad me....and snowskin mooncakes only make their debut years later and everyone loves snowskin for it's cooling taste.

After tasting Polar's exorbitant snowskin mooncake, i have given up in finding a 'real' chinese mooncake. Then came along Prima Deli (2nd halal bakery here), i risked my $7+ for a piece of red bean baked skin mooncake. YUCKS!! Hard and totally no taste except the red bean paste.

All hopes were not lost UNTIL my colleague introduced me to Amway Baked Skin Mooncakes. I was skeptical initially as Amway is popular for their housecleaning detergent, LOC and not for food. I went ahead and purchase as they are even cheaper than the local bakery here.

4 different flavours only costs $29, SUPER CHEAP!!! where to find such price now and 4 different flavours and it's HALAL!!! I bought the Four Season collection which consists of White Lotus (reduced sugar), Flaky Skin White Lotus with Yolk, Green Tea & Red Bean and Golden Chestnut (reduced sugar). Behold....it's sooooo good that i can't described. It's soft, nice fragrance of baked skin, authentic and aren't dry at all. Soooo good that i have already consumed 2 boxes of it, ALONE!!! Even my chinese colleagues are buying in bulk ok!

Heard that Amway sold more than thousands of mooncakes yearly and even if you are rich, when the stocks are gone, it is gone!! I'm going to grab 3 boxes next year!!

Sorry, that's all i snapped as I forgotten to take the contents. Too busy consuming them.

Imagine my happiness (to the max) when Hub's colleague (thank you!!!) gave him a box of durian snowskin mooncakes few days later! That's what life is supposed to be, enjoyment of the best food. D24 durian puree in cold and chewy snowskin. Yummy!!

They have a branch in taka

In fact i'm eating them as i'm typing these now

Granny's belated

We brought my granny to T3 for a tour and birthday dinner. She hasn't been to the airport for many years and since it's her birthday....we headed to Earle Swensens for dinner, i warned them that the prices there are different from Swensens and food aren't that great and we end up with $200+ bill for a meal that got everyone complaining about.

On our way to Changi Airport T3 - the sunshine babes

What we gobbled on- BBQ Chicken (so-so), Seafood Pasta (which my granny luved)

and Lobster Baked Rice (no taste of cheese at all)
