Celine's Little Heaven

One More Proud Moment

2011-12-18T22:54:00.000+08:00

It was yet another proud moment for us when Yun Yi received an Edusave Scholarship award today. It wasn't about the money she received for herself and it wasn't entirely about her doing academically well. It was really because we saw how happy, proud and confident she was about her own achievements and to us that was what mattered the most.

Congratations my dear girl!!! Continue to work hard next year for your PSLE, we are sure you can do well. Love ya!!

12th Year Wedding Anniversary

2011-11-17T22:16:00.000+08:00

12 years ago we said our vows. 12 years later we are trying not to strangle each other. Hey, we're still alive so we should be doing fine!! Happy anniversary to us!!

Didi's Graduation

2011-11-15T10:36:00.001+08:00

My boy has graduated from kindergarten!!! Time really flies and he will be in Primary 1 next year. No more fooling around and the stress (for all of us) is going to start soon.

I remember 5 years ago when Yum Yi wore the graduation gown and received her cert, we were so proud witnessing that moment. It is the same feeling yet once again today.

New Family Member

2011-11-07T18:22:00.000+08:00

No, it's not what you all think. I am not pregnant.

We got a pet today!! Yun Yi has always wanted a pet like a dog or rabbit. I don't think we're ready for a dog at this point thus we agreed to allow her to have a rabbit as a pet if she scores well for her final year exams. And the catch was that she has to save up for it on her own.

She did both and thus we kept our promise. Managed to get a good deal at a rabbit breeding farm at Pasir Ris and Yun Yi is declared bankrupt!! Didi is also a shareholder, he contributed a grand amount of *ahem* $0.10. Responsibility of taking care of the pet falls entirely on the kids, no help from the maid either.

Please join me in welcoming our new family member, the Holland Lop bunny "Bubbles Lee".

Birthday Boys

2011-10-31T21:46:00.000+08:00

Happy birthday to my boys this October!!!

Love you both loads!!!

Yong Ye Graduation Concert

2011-10-20T22:56:00.000+08:00

Attended didi's graduation concert at Republic Poly this evening. I must say, I was impressed with the effort put into the props and the whole performance.

We have seen Yun Yi perform on stage many many times, and this is a first for didi. The pride we feel when our kids are on stage is priceless. No matter if they are the lead or just a supporting role, the important thing is that they have fun, enjoy the whole experience and not get stage fright!!

Pics of Yong Ye in his costume below. No videos yet cos we ordered the DVD as the place was too big for us to record using a normal camera.

Sentosa Getaway - July 2011

2011-10-19T21:09:00.000+08:00

Managed to get free hotel stay at RWS Festive Hotel so brought the kids there for a short getaway. Sun, sand, sea and much needed R&R!!

Happy 11th Birthday - Yun Yi

2011-10-19T20:45:00.000+08:00

My darling turned 11 in May at about the same time I turned 28 29 30.

May you stay happy, healthy and pretty always!!! We love you loads!! Muacks!!

Bangkok Trip - May 2011

2011-10-19T20:21:00.001+08:00

Went to BKK to pray in May. It's been quite awhile since we went and the shopping decreases everytime we're there!!! Honestly, it was way too hot to shop where air-con is not available. Didn't even go to Chatuchak!! But it's ok lah, cos it's my Nth time there already so as long as we accomplished what we went there for (to pray) it's good enough.

Universal Studios - 13th March 2011

2011-10-19T20:03:00.000+08:00

Brought the kids to USS in March and we all had a great time!!! Loads of FUN FUN FUN!!!

Taipei 2011

2011-10-19T18:38:00.015+08:00

Went to Taipei for a short trip earlier this year in February. Weather was great, food was excellent and I had a wonderful time!!!

Lunch at Ximending after we arrived.

Went to Long Shan Si to pray.

Dinner at Shi Da night market. Then it ws back to Ximending for some chill time.

Headed to Taipei 101.

Wu Fen Pu in the afternoon followed by Shilin night market.

Food, food and more food!!!

A definite highlight of the trip for us. Hot springs!!

Danshui Old Street and back to Shilin night market for my chicken cutlet!!

Super delicious desserts and authentic Taiwan milk tea!!!

Saved the best for last, very famous Ah Zhong Mian Xian.

The trip was really enjoyable. And yes, the food is as good as what we see on TV.

Overdue Updates

2011-10-19T16:28:00.002+08:00

It's been more than six months since I last updated this blog. 2011 has really just whizzed past me and we're already in the last quarter of the year.

Will start posting entries on the trips this year and outings we went. More of playing catch-up before entries become more relevant.

Changed a new blogskin with a new header picture.

All is well, I hope you all are too.

Nana's Wedding

2011-03-15T22:41:00.000+08:00

Attended Nana's wedding on 20th Feb, it was awesome. Gate crashing was fun and it helped that Kerry's brothers were really sporting about it too.

Dinner was great and company was even better.

It always feels bittersweet to see a close friend getting married to a great guy. May your marriage be filled with lots of love, laughter and happiness. Congratulations my dear friend.

Happily Ever After

2010-12-26T23:45:00.000+08:00

It always feels great when you see a good friend getting married after finding the right one. Attended Xiang & Hartina's wedding this evening and it was beautiful. You could feel the love between them and everyone in the room were all happy for their union.

Food was great and company was fabulous!

Wishing them everlasting love and may they live happily ever after........

Festive Greeting

2010-12-22T18:32:00.000+08:00

It's that time of the year again. The time when we drink a little too much, spend a little too much and play a little too much. But hey, it's only once a year right?

Have been really busy the past 3 months that I almost forgot that I do have a blog that's almost totally forgotten. I even had trouble remembering my login name and password just now. Anyways, yes the past 3 months hasn't been exactly good for me.

Mum suffered a stroke, heart problems, difficulty in breathing and a mega colon problem. Everything happened so quickly and I honestly thought I was going to lose her at one point or another. Everyday after work I would be at the hospital, hoping to her her improving. At times when I couldn't make it, I hoped that she would not be too lonely. 3 months later, countless of talks/phonecalls with the doctors and nurses, I finally got the call last night that informed me she is scheduled to go home on 30th Dec.

Happy? Yes, because she can be home with family and with her grandchildren for company and TV to watch, she will not be so bored and lonely as compared to being in the hospital. Worried? Yes, because she is still not able to stand nor walk and her recovery is really too slow. I am also worried that the maid will not be able to handle her needs. But whatever the case, her being at home is definitely better than staying all alone at the rehab hospital. We can still get help for her rehab at home and sis can help cook for her nutritious and delicious meals everyday (once she gets the ok from the docs to get back to semi/solids). And the fact that she will be happier at home would probably go a long way to her recovery.

Kids have been great and well behaved. Yun Yi did really well for her exams and I am very proud of her. Didi as usual is happy everyday but gets a little naggy before we head to the supermarket. He will tell us that we need to get strawberries, apples, bread, margarine, milk (strawberry and fresh milk, dun want chocolate cos he doesn't like it) and biscuits. He's just worried that we'll run out of food at home.

Celebrated our 11th year wedding anniversary last month and had new rings to signify a new start. The first decade may not have been smooth sailing but I am sure the next and many more to come can only get better!

Got my driving license!! Woo hoo!! After so long, finally am a qualified driver. Failed on my first attempt because I was too damn nervous but made it through on my second attempt. So yeah, not too bad. And yes, my parking sucks. Move on.

Booked a trip to Taiwan in end February to go with hubby. Happy!!! Have been looking forward and saving up for it for a long time. Of course, AWS helps too. This is a long needed break and we are going on free & easy so we're just gonna be relaxed and shop and eat as we like!

Bought a new camera too! Have been wanting to get a good enough one for the longest time but just couldn't bear to part with the few hundred bucks. Finally made up my mind to get it and thus got my new baby, the Canon IXUS 300HS!!! Love it loads! The previous camera is now Yun Yi's to call her own.

Next up will be weddings to attend, CNY and looking forward to a great year next year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!! Muacks.

Changes, Updates and Stuff

2010-09-12T17:10:00.003+08:00

Started a new job in July and so far everything is going well at work. Colleagues are great and I appreciate the food choices and a well air-conditioned office compared to where I was previously. Have been really busy at work but am not complaining too much as of now.

Was supposed to go to Bangkok in August but we decided not to go because I just started a new job, thus the cost of me going on unpaid leave is just not worth it. So yeah, 2 air tickets went to waste.

The 2 kids are great and both are growing really fast!! There are times when I just look at them and just wonder how did they manage to get so tall so fast. Time really does just fly by us.......

Looking forward to meeting up with ex-colleagues next week and going to the F1 race 2 weeks later. Till then, all of you be good.

Water Play

2010-06-12T22:32:00.000+08:00

Brought the kids swimming last Sunday to get some sun. Daddy was just relaxing one corner reading his papers while I got roasted together with the kids under the hot sun.

Yun Yi's 10th Birthday

2010-06-11T20:15:00.000+08:00

Had a small celebration at home for Yun Yi's 10th birthday last month. It sometimes just feels like yesterday when we first held her in our arms and I cannot believe that she is already 10 years old!!!

We love you loads and may you stay pretty always!!! Muacks!!

Catching Up Post

2010-06-10T17:00:00.000+08:00

I have been neglecting this blog for the longest time, blame it on the development of the cyber world. With Facebook, it just becomes so much easier to share as compared to painstakingly updating each blog post with words and photos.

But that is no excuse as I know not all my readers are on my FB list, so yes I am determined to resuscitate this blog starting from this very post.....

Think I did mention sometime ago (6 months to be precise!!) that we were travelling to Port Dickson for a short getaway during the New Year. Promised pictures but that never came, so here it is...........

We drove up in 2 separate cars together with Kerry and Lena.

Stopped at A&W for their awesome rootbeer float and lunch!!!

Finally we arrived!!! and checked into our rooms which was haven to us for the next 2 nights.

Walk out to the balcony which faces the sea.

Open space bathroom with standing shower.....

.....and also a bath tub which we soaked and soaked and soaked!!!

Daybed next to the window which can accommodate 2 kids comfortably.

View from the balcony during low tide.

With 2 reclining chairs which you can relax on in the morning with coffee and newspapers or a book.

Photo time!!!!!

The sky was really clear that day which makes a beautiful backdrop for pictures.

Me and my travel buddy.

Artistic shot!!

Ahhhh.......sunset.....

We had DIY steamboat in our room on the first night!!! This was definitely the highlight of the trip cos everything was brought there by us. We stopped to get the food in JB and kept everything in a icebox and drove to PD!!

The food was great, chilli made by Lena's dad was AWESOME and company was the best. Would do it all over again if given a chance.

Just to show exactly how high the water is during high tide. You can practically jump off the balcony and into the water for a swim if you want to.

After breakfast, we went to the animal farm area which is open in the morning!! You can touch and interact with the farm pets and kids will love it!

Of course there are sea sports and activities you can join or just enjoy a walk down the beach.

It was a great short getaway which is really for recharging. Oh and did I mention about the beautiful sunset like this one?

Once Upon A Time

2010-04-26T07:28:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time, I was very happy. A very long time ago.

All I want for my birthday wish this year is to be happy. Is it really that difficult? I think the answer is yes, and it has proven to be for the past many years.

I hope that this is a right decision and that nothing but a better future awaits us.

500th Post

2010-03-18T07:21:00.000+08:00

Wow, finally hit the 500 mark in number of postings.

Have been feeling pretty down the past weeks because of work and people I meet at work. It never fails to amaze me how hypocritic and fake some people can be. I have been so busy at work and not even sure what am I busy with anymore. I do so mch everyday but it seems that the pile of unfinished work just continues to pile up!! Everything also important, everything also urgent and everything also involve me. I have only 1 brain and a pair of hands. I am capable of doing doesn't mean everything has to land on my lap!!!

Anyways, I started learning driving! After like 8 years since I passed my basic theory I finally enrolled myself into a driving school which opened in Woodlands.

Got a new Coach sling bag which I love to bits. And I wanna get a new Kate Spade wallet!!!

Going off to Korea this month end and I am looking forward to it. Break time.

Life's good....... except for the male bitch which I despise. Other than that, everything's going great!!!

CNY 2010

2010-02-17T07:03:00.000+08:00

CNY is definitely my favourite hols in a year. Get togethers with family and friends, great food and card sessions. This year was definitely no exception, the last few days went by in a blink and am back to work today.

Went to RWS yesterday and it was no different with Genting in one aspect. The place was overflowing with TKB!! They can really get on your nerves lor! The casino was pretty big and spacious but I guess there are alot more they can improve on.

So in short, I am sleep deprived, a little bit poorer and ate a little too much.

Lost & Found

2010-02-04T07:56:00.000+08:00

I am so behind time in blogging. There is so much I wanna write, so much I wanna say but somehow it is different now. I used to be able to write down freely how I felt or what I was going through. But ever since I know who are some of my readers are, I am backing off a little. I wasn't sure if the content is what I am comfortable sharing thus the lack of postings.

But I figured, this blog was set up to allow people (either I personally know or not) to know the real me. Leave a footprint of my life for my kids to look back upon when they grow up. Keep a journal of memories for me to reflect upon during my silver years. So yes, I should blog on.

So let's start with the new year. 2009 came and went and it's now into 2010. The year started off better than ever with a trip to Port Dickson with hubby and friends. It was a relaxing getaway which we all needed so badly and yes, I will post seperately on that.

CNY is just around the corner and it's the time of the year where we all look forward to catch up with family and friends. Also the time of the year where we spent lots of money. Sigh.

I am determined to pick up driving this year in March once the new driving centre opens here in Woodlands!!! DETERMINED!!! No more spending money on taxi fares when I go play MJ!

Visited a friend who's wifey just gave birth yesterday. Holding a newborn in my arms always gives me mixed feelings. I would start thinking, wat if........... Also makes me remember how it felt to hold the two kids for the very first time when they were born. And it's like time passes by so quickly and they have grown so much!!

On to happpy stuff. Holidays in March and August to look forward to!! Yiippee!!

I know this posting is super random. But who cares?? IT IS MY BLOG!

Another Year Yet Again

2009-12-23T18:20:00.000+08:00

It's coming to the end of yet another year. 2009 has been really bad for me and I definitely look forward to better days ahead.

I learnt that money isn't everything, but without it, we are nothing. Learnt that some people are really mean to others. Learnt that working 14 hours everyday is hell. Learnt that the boss from hell can be a bitch and also good bosses do exist.

I have grown stronger in many ways. Learnt to accept the fact that I will never be loved the way I need to be. Choosing to love myself more and care less about others is the best way to prevent myself from getting hurt.

Am thankful that I have great friends around me. My family. My kids.

2010 will be a much better year. I am sure.

Genting Trip Nov 2009

2009-12-13T00:04:00.000+08:00

This is a terribly overdue post!!! But better late than never......

Brought the kids to genting last month together with my mum, sister and 2 nieces.

Woke up early in the morning at about 5plus. Yun Yi was so excited that she woke up at 4am on her own!!!

On the bus. Didi was very well behaved and no toilet issues either.

I love this picture!! Maid with the kids.

Height limits for the different rides.

Look at Didi's blur look.....

Daddy was the busy one playing the arcade games with the kids while I snapped away with my camera.

Think the next time we go, each of us can handle our own bikes liao.

Day 2 weather was fantastic and great for the outdoor theme park.

Me and my mama!!

With Yun Lin on Viking Ship, hubby and Yun Yi was on the ride as well. Yun Yi was screaming away while Yu Lin kept her head buried between hands on the handle!!

Clowns!!

Koi pond.

Went on this ride which we had to paddle the boat. Erm, cannot call it a boat, more like a floating device. One round only my legs too tired liao. Yun Yi told me, never mind mummy, you rest I paddle us back! Wahahaha... so touched. But I still paddled together with her lah.

Didi's favourite ride of all, the antique car!! He was super serious and turned his steering whenever the car was turning. He kept telling me he likes this ride and wants to go back again.

On board the Ferris Wheel!!

Muacks!!

The trip was great, probably can go back again a few years later when Yong Ye is older and tall enough for the other rides.

10th Year Since "I Do"

2009-11-17T09:52:00.003+08:00

Today marks the 10th year since we both said "I Do".

Some people tell me it's not easy to have come this far. Some people tell me that we still have a long way to go. Some people tell me that time flies and it has been 10 years already. Some people tell me that they can't believe that we have only been married for 10 years.

Whatever it is, it has been a long way. It hasn't been exactly smooth sailing for us and we've had our fair share of many ups and downs. But still, we made it here today and yes we should be proud of ourselves.

Considering that we were both so young when we decided to spend the rest of our lives together back then. Considering the sacrifices and efforts we put in to build a life together. Considering the fact that we have so many friends whose marriages have already broken down while we are still going relatively strong. So yes, we are happy to have made it this far.

No plans for a fancy dinner whatsoever. Probably we'll each have a beer tonight and be thankful that we still share a bed together.

Happy 10th wedding anniversary to us. Cheers.

Happy 4th Birthday - Yong Ye

2009-10-31T22:03:00.007+08:00

Didi turns 4 today!!

Gave him his burthday gift this morning, a "Hulk" armour truck!!

Happy birthday sweetie!! Love you much.

Updates

2009-10-14T17:14:00.007+08:00

Ok, my life is boring...... that explains why there hasn't been much updates recently. Nothing exciting is happening and nothing to look forward to either. Of course there's the occasional hiccup at home or at work, but nothing's spinning out of control yet.

Been busy with the maids upcoming work permit renewal and home leave in January. I am so going to declare myself bankrupt. Renewed her passport $85, work permit renewal plus all the insurance and guarantee $280, employment contract for home leave $350 and air tickets $300. She go back once I gotta spend almost a thousand bucks. Not complaining cos she's a great help to us, just that must it cost so much???!!

Planned a trip with hubby and friends to somewhere near but nice!! Finally something to look forward to. Been awhile since we went somewhere for R&R and will also be the first time Lena and me travelling together to somewhere without a casino!!

Am watching "Criminal Minds" now and the show is awesome!! And it is so true that there are so many people with twisted minds out there. Not to mention that Gossip Girl season 3 is showing now and also Desperate Housewives season 6 too! Busy busy busy....

And I wanna watch this show.........

Durian Pengat

2009-09-30T00:38:00.000+08:00

Finally went to try the dessert stall which was featured in 抢摊大行动2 at Commonwealth.

Hubby queued for about 20mins for it and it was quite worth it.

Tasted pretty good with ice and gula meleka. But would I go back all the way again? Probably not, just too far for me and the waiting time needed just for dessert is to long.

My First Time

2009-09-27T12:42:00.003+08:00

Finally after thinking about it for years, I did it today!!! I went to donate my blood this morning!!!

Sticker to indicate to the volunteers that this is my first time so that they can take care of me better!!

Pink bandage makes it all pretty and cheerful.

Thank you cards with date stamp to remindme of the next date I can donate again.

The whole "donating" process was really quick and no pain at all. Felt great after and really happy I did it. Definitely going back again as a regular donor. And I also signed up for the "Bone Marrow Donor Programme" where I will only be called upon if there is a match.

Communication

2009-09-17T08:41:00.003+08:00

I think communication, the frequency and quality of it, is the most important factor in making a relationship work. Communicating your needs, fears, hopes, happiness and everything else.

The problem is not when you have problems communicating. It's when you don't even feel like communicating at all already, that's the problem. Really, that's when silence makes everyone's life a little less dark.

I don't need to be a gem to someone, I just don't wanna be dirt.

Struggles

2009-09-13T22:20:00.004+08:00

Someone once told me that a good marriage is like the little ducks over there. Looks completely calm and unruffled, but underneath the water, they're paddling furiously to stay afloat.

I so seriously agree.

Star Blogger??!!

DIY #14

2009-08-27T22:30:00.001+08:00

This is soooo pretty. Who wants to sponsor me to take the course?? I wanna open my own nail parlour!!!

Priority. Option.

2009-08-23T22:16:00.000+08:00

Saw Fang's MSN message last week and it felt so true.

"Don't let someone be a priority in your life when you are just an option in their life"

He was my priority and I was just an option. Note, it's past tense. Now, I am not even sure if we are both even an option in each other's life.

I am just so tired of always having to make things work. Change how I think, how I feel, what I do, how I talk and almost everything else. Why I am always the one having to make changes? Why am I always the one to have to give in? Why am I always the one having to voice out?

To be fair to me, I have been doing all the above. What have I got in return? NOTHING!!!

So really, I don't care anymore. Call me weak for no longer trying. Call me selfish for thinking of only myself. Call me sensitive. Call me whatever you want. All of you can judge me all you want. I DON'T CARE.

I will continue to fulfil my duties as a mother. But don't expect anything more than that from me. I have nothing else to give. I have already given all that I have and can for the past 13 years.

I just don't want to shed anymore tears. I just wanna be happy. Why is it so difficult?

You can continue to be unhappy for the rest of your life but please just hide and sink in self pity yourself. I don't want to be part of it.

Parenthood

2009-08-12T22:05:00.003+08:00

Being a parent is easy. Being a good parent who needs to love and discipline our kids is difficult. And quitting is not an option.

The love we have for our children is so great that it hurts. You want to guide them onto the right track but yet not chase them away. You want to hold them tight but yet have room for them to grow and learn. You want to give them all the love you have but they start taking it for granted.

I miss the obedient and sweet girl I used to know. We all love you so much but you need to love yourself too. I want to believe that this is just a phase and it will pass soon enough. If this is a test of my patience and love for you, then be it.

I know this sounds really cheesy, but whatever we do is for your own good. You may not realise this and hate us now but all I hope is that one day you will understand our intentions.

We love you. Please come back to us.

Wasted Space

2009-08-01T10:36:00.003+08:00

Reason why I don't need such a big sofa. Because.......

Me The Minority

2009-07-28T20:30:00.000+08:00

How do you suddenly feel that our country is filled with non-Singaporeans?

I was at Woodlands MRT on Saturday afternoon queueing up at the counter to top-up my ez-link card. Not those auto machine type of counter but the manual kind. So anyway, I was in the queue and the 2 persons infront of me and behind me was talking away loudly on their phones. That made me look closer and I noticed that all 3 infront of me and another 2 behind be were all talking away either with their friend/partner/spouse/phone. From their language and accent, I knew that they were all from the same country which produces almost everything fake.

I was the ONLY true bred Singaporean in the queue of a total of 6 people. I felt.....uncomfortable. Kind of like being in a foreign land and trying to take the subway. Weird.

Dancing Legs

2009-07-27T18:45:00.000+08:00

Was having lunch with my kids at home on Sunday when I saw my little boy shaking his legs which was hanging from the dining chair.

"Don't shake your legs" I told him.

He replied me, "No, I not shaking my legs. My legs dancing."

As if that wasn't a smart enough reply, he followed on by asking me "Your legs dunno how to dance aarrhh??"

I was stumped for words. Here is a 3yrs and 9 months old boy talking to me about dancing legs.

手放开

2009-07-27T00:20:00.000+08:00

我把自己关起来只留下一个阳台
每当天黑推开窗我对着夜幕发呆
看着往事一幕一幕
再次演出你我的爱

我把电视机打开听着别人的对白
也许那些故事可以给我一个交代
你要的爱我学不来
眼睁睁看情变坏人怔怔看情感概

不能给你未来我还你现在
安静结束也是另一种对待
当眼泪流下来伤已超载
分开也是另一种明白

我给你最后的疼爱是手放开
不要一张双人床中间隔着一片海
感情的污点就留给时间慢慢漂白
把爱收进胸前左边口袋

最后的疼爱是手放开
不想用言语拉扯所以选择不责怪
感情就像候车月台有人走有人来
我的心是一个站牌写着等待

最后的疼爱是手放开
我把收音机打开听着别人的失败
啃咽的声音仿佛诉说着相同悲哀
你的依赖还在胸怀
我无法轻易推开我无法随便走开
感情中专心的人容易被伤害

So meaningful..... to me at least.

Me So Handsome But Naughty

2009-07-20T20:44:00.002+08:00

Yong Ye came out of his bath this evening and ran to me saying "Mummy, I bathe already. See I so handsome!!" while pointing to his just combed wet hair.

5 minutes later, he refused to talk to me. He told his sister "I don't like mummy." All because I took out the potato crisps to eat and he wants to hold the whole canister to eat on his own and I refused.

Sigh. The joys of parenthood.

The Old & The New

2009-07-20T20:18:00.002+08:00

Went back to my old office today for a meeting. Felt a strong sense of nostalgia when I stepped into the premises.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there during the close to 5 years stint I spent there. Today, I went back there in a different role. Met old colleagues and friends. Some even came out specifically to look for me when they heard I was back. I experienced a fuzzy warm feeling.

I have not regretted leaving Ctx at all as it was necessary for me to do so in order to advance my career. But at times, I do think about how things might have been different for me if I hadn't made the move back then. I have had both good and bad experiences the past 3 years since I left and all of it helped me grow and learn.

It felt good to be able to step back into the very place which allowed me to get into this line. Was really touched that ex-colleagues genuinely felt happy to see me. I was pretty sure I did well during my stay there professionally and definitely was friends with everyone there. I feel so comforted.

Sigh. My life is so fucked all because of that bitch. I hate her.

Ignored

2009-07-18T23:34:00.003+08:00

I am so used to being ignored that I am starting to doubt if I even exist.

No, I am not being emo and stop telling me that I am letting my thoughts run wild or being to sensitive. I am so tired of all the many reasons, excuses or whatevers. I should just convince myself that I am simply transparent and that would definitely make alot more sense.

So be it.

New Love

2009-07-16T22:14:00.002+08:00

His name is Chuck. I love him!!!!

If you have no idea what am I talking about, go watch Gossip Girl. It just further confirms that I like bad boys. Duh.

My Channel 5 Boy

2009-07-09T00:09:00.000+08:00

My boy is a channel 5 kid. His primary language is English and so far can only say the following in Mandarin:

1) Daddy/Jie Jie/Aunty/Mummy 在哪里？
2) 晚安
3) 救命啊！！！

A grand total of 3 phrases. We need to do something. Fast.

Power Of Love

2009-07-08T07:15:00.000+08:00

Watched "Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past" last evening, complimentary tickets!! There was a phrase which made me think a little....... "Power in a relationship lies with the one who care less."

But, the one who care less is not necessarily the one that is happier.

I think it all boils down to fear. Fear of getting hurt, fear of giving too much and not getting anything in return, fear of disappointment and of course fear of betrayal. But fear, just like jealousy, makes people do silly stuff.

To protect ourselves, we refuse to show our true feelings and build a protective shield against others. Or sometimes to protect ourselves, we choose to attack the other party first. But what would make us drop these defences and finally learn to let go and love with our whole heart and soul without any fears?

If we do not have any reason to fear, then there is no reason to protect ourselves. But for us to not fear, the other party needs to make us believe that there is no reason to. The big question is, which party is able to let go of his/her defences first to make it work?

"No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry."

I Want To Break Free

2009-06-28T17:37:00.003+08:00

I want to get out of this. Month after month also the same. Tired. When will things change? When??

I feel so alone sometimes. Sigh. Me swimming in shit all alone.

Someone please take me away from this. Help me break free. I want and need to be free.

Balut Egg

2009-06-28T17:09:00.003+08:00

My maid got her friend to buy balut eggs back from the Philippines.

Hubby didn't even want to look at it in case he is put off by eggs forever!!! I tried it and the taste isn't that bad. Just the thought of eating a nearly developed embryo is the scary part.

Burp.

Why The Pounds Keep Piling On - Part 2

2009-06-24T08:49:00.002+08:00

I asked hubby to buy breakfast for me last week and requested for fried bee hoon plus fillet and taiwan sausage. He came back with fried bee hoon plus fillet, taiwan sausage AND LUNCHEON MEAT.

This morning I got smarter. I requested for fried bee hoon plus fillet only. He came back with fried bee hoon, filet AND TAIWAN SAUSAGE. See, I am getting good at this.

Now I know why I never seem to lose weight. I suspect it's his plan to keep it this way.

Back Breaking

2009-06-21T21:04:00.003+08:00

I somehow managed to sprained my back and it's been killing me the last 2 days. I have no idea at all how it happened and I now cannot bend downwards or sideways cos it hurts so badly when I do so.

I honestly think it's a side effect of not playing MJ for the last 3 weeks. 3 whole weeks!!! Unbelievable.

Anyway, pain aside, it has been a good weekend.

Happy Father's Day

2009-06-21T08:30:00.001+08:00

Hahaha..... love this ad.

Happy Father's Day.

How The Pounds Keep Piling On

2009-06-20T20:07:00.010+08:00

Went to Manpuku at Tampines 1 for dinner today together with hubby. Food was good though not cheap.

Moonlight Okonomiyaki. We both loved it and it's one of the most popular counters there.

Seafood Nabeyaki Udon. Quite nice though not really to my personal liking.

Grilled scallops and pork with asparagus. Yums.

Ahhhh..... Tako Sashimi. They have a good selection of sashimi there at reasonable pricing.

Fried Dou Miao. I like.

Some imported Japanese peach drink which cost us $3.80!!! My advise, smuggle a bottle of water in to save $$.

And the highlight of the meal, dessert!!! Mango fruit tart. It is REALLY GOOD. I will revisit the place just to have this. They have alot of other choices and trust me, all of it looks good.

All in all, it was a pretty pleasant dining experience. Will probably go back again if I am feeling rich and have cravings for the food there. But I will definitely go back again just for the fruit tart. Now tell me, how to lose weight like that??

Oh, also packed 2 slices of cheesecakes back for the kids from Bakerzin. It's at 50% discount now, go get it before the promotion ends.

Oh So Good

2009-06-19T20:44:00.004+08:00

I tasted the best fried hokkien prawn noodles recommended by my boss. Really good.

The chilli is standard serving and if you want extra chilli need to pay extra $0.50. Don't say I didn't tell you. But it's clearly stated in writing at the stall.

Go try, it's at Bukit Batok block 154. Yummy.

Garlic Prawn Tapas

2009-06-18T07:02:00.004+08:00

I made this on Tuesday!!!

Ok ok, this was just a picture I got from the net but mine probably tasted better!! French loaf dipped in the olive oil. Oh my god. Heaven.

He Loves Me So......

2009-06-17T00:03:00.000+08:00

How do I know my husband loves me?

As always in the middle of the night, I woke up freezing like hell. Hubby was comfortably tucked in, under the blanket. I showed him this the next morning as evidence to why I always accuse him to taking all of the blanket.

He told me this, "You don't want to cover mah, so I help you keep the blanket on my side so that you have more space on the bed."

Thanks darling. But I think I am fully capable of effective space management, so stop hoarding the blanket!!!

Love Or Hate

2009-06-15T21:58:00.006+08:00

We were watching a variety show over the weekend which featured this Erhu player who was really good. So I told hubby "Maybe I should go learn Erhu!!!

He said to me "No need to learn, I have no problems falling asleep."

He sounded serious. I wanted to strangle him.

What Goes Around Comes Around

2009-06-06T10:29:00.003+08:00

I really believe it now. I really do.

It just comes back to haunt you either directly or indirectly. Never felt so dissapointed before in my whole life. What happened? Why? I don't know, I really don't. I just hope and pray that all will be back to how it used to be before.

Sidetrack abit. One of my close buddy is going to be a dad soon!! Erm.....did I mention that he's still single?? Hahaha!! Congratulations bro!

Crisis

2009-06-01T21:53:00.000+08:00

I am in a crisis. Help!!!

心情写照

2009-05-24T21:34:00.002+08:00

同床异梦的无奈有谁能明白？

诉不出口的情怀又能向谁敞开？

紧握多年的手是否只因那熟悉的面孔？

最终当爱情离开，也许彼此都该学会如何放开。

Great Season

2009-05-23T10:00:00.000+08:00

Just finished atching Desperate Housewives Season 5. Awesome season yet once again but oh so frustrating!!! Who did Mike marry?? Darn. When's season 6 showing?

Conversation

2009-05-19T20:41:00.002+08:00

Conversation between me and my son.

Friday night, I was dressed up ready to go out clubbing...............
YY: Mummy, where you going?
Me: Mummy going dancing.
YY: You go where dancing?
YY: You go with who?
YY: What time you come back?
Me: Your daddy also never ask so much, why you ask so many questions?

Saturday evening, I was getting my slippers ready to go out for MJ..........
YY: Mummy, where you go?
YY: You go dancing again ah?!?!
Me: No lah, mummy going out.
YY: You go with who?
YY: You go where? Go win win win ah?
Me: Yeah yeah, mummy go win win win.

My boy is a control freak.

Happy 9th Birthday

2009-05-14T21:40:00.000+08:00

Had a small celebration for my little girl for her birthday. She hasn't been the best of behaviour recently. Hopefully it's just a phase and she learns from her mistake. We love you and happy birthday.

Yums!!!

2009-05-13T20:22:00.000+08:00

Discovered this stall at Woodlands old central hawker centre last weekend that sells braised stuff. By stuff I mean stuff like braised duck wings, thigh, pigs ears, tongue, intestines, chicken feet...... you get the idea lah.

I loved it!!! It's different from what we usually get locally as it's owned by a Chinese national and they use dried chili so there is a tinge of spiciness. Ohhhh it is so good.

So if you're a fan of such stuff, worth making a trip there to try.

Represention

2009-05-01T08:39:00.002+08:00

The rate of turnover in a company or a department would somehow indicate how good the boss is. True.

4 resignations in less than 2 months. Wow, tells me somthing is very wrong somewhere.

Life's Imperfections

2009-04-16T22:35:00.002+08:00

It is life's imperfections that makes our lives perfect.

Love the recent "family" themed tv ad. Makes you think about the people you love in your lives. Somehow the annoying habits, fights and flaws all seem so insignificant when all you ever wanted was just to have another chance to go through it all over again.

So yes, no one is perfect. But my life is made perfect because of these imperfections.

I know it may sound a little cheem/nonsensical/meaningless for some of you. Hahaha. Don't worry, like I said, no one is perfect.

Going At It Like Rabbits

2009-04-14T12:55:00.000+08:00

My sister's rabbit gave birth to 2 little rabbits last week and they are soooooooooooo cute lor!!!

See, it just fits into my palm nicely.

This is exactly how it sleeps!!

The kids went totally crazy over the rabbits and so did I!!! But nope, no plans to bring one home though.

Randoms

2009-04-13T18:03:00.005+08:00

Yun Yi was using her porpor's phone to take pictures and this was what she caught on camera.

If you ask me, I think she is good at this!!! Or maybe they just look good in pictures.

Went to MOF just now for desserts, too sweet and wasn't as good as I expected. But since there's 20% discount on weekdays, we decided to give it a try.

Red bean paste with mochi.

A cocktail of red bean paste, ice cream, some japanese jelly and fruits.

Am watching House season 5 now. Love this series!!!

So random. Whatever.

Working Hard

2009-04-03T00:13:00.003+08:00

We all work hard to try to provide the best we can to the people we love.

But.......

What is the point of working so hard when you hardly get to see the people you love everyday? I don't know, still trying to figure this out.

I never knew what exhaustion was until now. Sigh. When is my luck going to turn a little better?

Flying High

2009-03-29T14:26:00.006+08:00

Was having lunch at this cafe today when I saw a par of flies behaving rather suspiciously. When I tried to wave my hands to chase them away, my efforts were totally ignored. On a closer look, I finally knew why. Thus I decided to leave them alone with some privacy.

They were mating. Ahem. Yes, the pair of flies.

The above picture was from Wikipedia when I looked up "Fly" and it's a picture of them mating.

This was what I caught on my camera..........

Hahahaha!!! I know this post seems a little meaningless, but I just can't help it. How many of you can actually say that you saw a pair flies mating and even caught it on camera?

Lift Me

2009-03-27T15:42:00.000+08:00

When I first came to my current office for the interview, the damn lift wasn't working and I had to climb the stairs right up to the 5th (highest) floor where the reception desk was. By the time I reached the 4th floor landing, this was what I saw.............

I was like, "yeah thanks." Someone obviously hs a wicked sense of humour around here.

Colours Of The Rainbow

2009-03-26T22:31:00.003+08:00

Hubby and me have been seeing rainbows so very frequently in the recent months. I think we have seen like 5 rainbows in the past 3 months.

Anyway, just got news that a good friend of mine just got engaged yesterday. Am so happy for her and she deserves the happiness that seems to have evaded her for so long. Congrats babe, I am really happy for you.

So.....that makes 3 of my close friends getting hitched within the next year. Oh my, the thought of the ang paos makes me shudder.

Poo Poo

2009-03-24T22:07:00.002+08:00

Didi finally sat on the toilet bowl and pooed today!!! Hopefully he keeps this up. I missed it cos I was still at work in the evening. Sucks.

I am so tired, mentally and physically. I need a drink and a smoke. Sigh.

Updates

2009-03-14T00:06:00.002+08:00

Have been so busy at work lately. Not sure if I am enjoying this though. Hopefully it's not a permanent thing. I hate it when work takes away precious time which I spend with my kids.

Finally recontracted hubby's line and managed to get my new phone!!! Love it. And I have hair extensions, since 2 weeks ago!!!

Yun Yi did well in her CA1. Topped her class in English and Chinese paper 2. Swims pretty well now without any swimming boards and can even do the pyjamas thing in the water. And she rides a 2 wheel bicycle now.

Didi talks and talks non-stop. I have been working late the whole week and didn't manage to see him at night. And yesterday morning he sat on my lap and I casually asked him why he woke up so early (he does every morning cos all of us are up). He told me this "Didi wake up so early eh...... wait mummy go work already, didi cannot big hug mummy." Awwww he's so sweet and my heart melted there and then. I felt so guilty.

That's it for now. My life is boring, I know. Won't be for long........wait till I strike toto group 1. Waiting......

Blah Blah Blah.....

2009-03-04T20:55:00.003+08:00

Super duper overdue pictures from CNY!! Hee hee.....

The kids are wreaking havoc in my room while I am typing this post. I heard something drop to the floor and am hoping it's the remote and not my phone.

I wanna change phone!!!!

I am sleep deprived.

Bought bicycles for the kids over the weekend.

Didi is still coughing even after he finished the whole bottle of cough syrup from the doc.

This post is soooo random. Blah.

Busy ah.......

2009-03-02T23:28:00.002+08:00

Serious lack of updates. Been so busy.

Work is going well so far. It's a small world and a pleasant surprise to see 2 ex colleagues whom I had no idea was in the same company until I joined. Feels so good bitching about that bitch during lunch. Wahahahaha!!!

Life is good and I have never been happier. Hopefully it stays this way.

A New Start

2009-02-15T09:12:00.002+08:00

Yes it's official. I am starting work tomorrow at my new company. Yippe!!

Wish me luck people.

See Show Lah

2009-02-12T22:44:00.002+08:00

Not working? Nothing to do? See show lor.

Totally enjoyed watching Bride Wars this week, alone. Great show and you guys should catch it!!!

Also watched The Notebook online. Touching. A little long winded but oh so romantic.

Also thanks for all the care, concern, smses and phone calls. I am fine and will not be jobless for long. Not finalised yet so I don't wanna jinx it either. Will update you all once I start work ok?

It's been a long week and I am glad it will be over soon. Cheers.

Worried But Happier

2009-02-05T20:14:00.002+08:00

The past few months was hell but yesterday was the last straw for me. Was forced to make a decision to either do something against my work ethics or risk leaving my job. I stuck by what I believed in and did the right thing, thus I need a job now.

I am worried now, no doubt about it. But one thing for sure, I sleep better at night and with a clear conscience. She can tell the whole world that she is not wrong, but she won't be able to lie to herself.

I despise her for her character, for the mood swings and for her unethical behaviour. She is really nothing but an unethical toad beneath the perfect head of curls, fake eyelases and glittering eyeliner. She makes me feel sick and I am so glad that I don't need to see her ever again in future.

我相信老天爺有眼，遲早會來收拾你。

I wouldn't have had the courage to walk away and do the right thing if hubby didn't give me the emotional support I needed. Thank you. We will pull through this I am sure.

Happy Moo Moo Year!!

2009-01-26T08:06:00.000+08:00

Happy new year everyone!!!

May this year be filled with health, wealth, prosperity, luck and abundance for everyone. Huat ah!!

What Happened To CNY?

2009-01-24T13:45:00.001+08:00

As far as I can recall, my family used to have reunion dinners every year. No doubt we started having it the Sunday prior to CNY eve because all of us got married and had to eat with the in-laws in the actual eve. But dinner was a sure thing and we would all gather our chopsticks and basically just pig out and catch up.

Until a few years back when that particular Sunday which we were supposed to have had our reunion dinner coincides with the weekend which that man was going to Batam. Somehow he couldn't go a week earlier or miss a week and just decided to cancel the whole dinner affair with his family here. And hubby was right about one thing then, miss it once and you can forget about having a reunion dinner ever again.

The family never once had a reunion dinner together ever since. Obviously it meant nothing to that man. Maybe he just didn't wanna pay for all the food, maybe he just wants to celebrate it with those over at the Indonesian island or maybe........I dunno. Whatever the reason, doesn't really matter to me anymore.

Anyway, mummy ate with me and my in-laws last year and this year she's eating at my sister's place cos she doesn't really fancy steamboat. So yeah, he can stay home and eat instant noodles on CNY eve for all I care. None of my business. Who knows a few years down the road, we might even stop going home during CNY because he prefers to spend it there too.

This is such a bitter post and even though I just see him once a year now doesn't make me feel less resentful.

CNY Art Piece

2009-01-23T22:37:00.003+08:00

Didi did this at school today. Finger painting........ Or at least I think that's what he was trying to tell me.

Reasons To Be Happy

2009-01-21T17:08:00.002+08:00

3 reasons for me to feel happy today:

1) Outstanding emails which requires my action down to less than 30!!!
2) Finishing up the last bit of my CNY grocery shopping tonight. Finally.
3) 2 more days to a long break which I need.

I Should Be So Lucky......Lucky, Lucky, Lucky

2009-01-20T08:00:00.000+08:00

I need luck!!! Come on people, give me all the luck you can. Never needed it so badly before.

Numbness

2009-01-18T21:49:00.002+08:00

I feel so numb....... Really don't feel anything anymore. Good or bad? I dunno.

Tattoo Show - 10th January 09

2009-01-15T20:59:00.000+08:00

I have been so busy that I don't have time to post this up. Attended the 1st ever tattoo show in Singapore on Saturday with hubby. The show was really really good. Awesome.

Traditional Phillipines tattoo. Manual tattoo process.

Traditional Thai scriptures tattoo. Manual as well.

I love this picture of the Hannya mask.

I love this!!!

I kept this to the last because it was my favourite. Artist did it without any outline and thus looks very much like a water colour painting. The next piece I am getting it going to be one without outlines too. And I wanna get it in TW!!!

Basically the show was really awesome and it was very very crowded. Didn't expect the turnout to be so good. If they organise it again next year, I am definitely going again.

DIY #13

2009-01-15T18:32:00.000+08:00

I love this!!! See the "flower effect"? Not bad liao for my first attempt.

Am going to go get the other colours as well.

Newbie At School

2009-01-08T22:04:00.002+08:00

1st Day - Orientation day, maid sat with him in class. No tears.

2nd Day - Teacher had to hold him when the maid left. Cried. When class dismissed earlier than expected, he only saw his Yi Yi and not his auntie. Cried.

3rd Day - First to cry when going into classroom. Affected other kids, one by one started crying after him.

Today - Said bye bye to the maid when she was leaving the classroom and no tears. Though he looked pretty sad when he left the house.

Not bad!!! We had expected him to cry for at least a week!!! Hahaha.....

Trapped

2009-01-05T14:19:00.002+08:00

I feel so trapped. I need a direction. Help.

Hello 2009

2009-01-01T11:26:00.000+08:00

As usual, no new year resolutions since I never remember and never achieve them anyway. But I do have some hopes and wishes:

- Economy to pick up real soon so that there will be more opportunities for everyone
- Everyone to stay healthy and safe
- Add more Coach to my collection
- Someone will give me a Wii as a present
- Hope I can start to learn driving (yeah lah, not started yet. shut up.)
- Heng heng when playing MJ
- Soon soon li li at work
- Go Bali/Phuket/Bintan

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Goodbye 2008

2008-12-31T18:45:00.001+08:00

2008 has been an ok year for me.

Career - No major hiccups, changed job, stable but stress level is high.
Health - Not so good, fell sick quite often. Hopefully will improve next year.
Family - Excellent. Kids are healthy and well.
Love - Ok, better and improving compared to 2007.
Friends - Not meeting up some close friends as often as I would like to. Hope to change that.
Luck - Hmmm.... not so good. Lost at MJ more than winning. Need to change this too.
R&R - Not good!!! No doubt travelled to Holland and Japan but it was for work and not exactly with hubby or friends. I want to go beach resort next year!!! Batam not counted.
Memorable - Ink job.

So yeah, I guess that pretty much sums up the year for me. Farewell 2008.

Making Merry

2008-12-26T10:32:00.003+08:00

Yun Yi placed her socks at her bed in hope that Santa Claus will give her a pressie for her good behaviour this year.

We were so tickled by this sight!! Ok, I promise to get her a proper stocking next year!!! Luckily the pressie we got her is small in size and fits nicely in this.

Seeing what his sister did, my little boy also followed!!!

Aiyoh, they really cute lor. The innocence of children.

可乐戒指

2008-12-21T13:03:00.000+08:00

星星在天上写诗浪漫到放肆
嘴角的吻还未湿我还受掩饰
我调整了我坐姿假装更矜持
你的紧张你的公式就像个孩子

你把我喝完的可乐来换当作戒指
轻轻套上了我手指你问能不能一辈子
那一秒突然爱上了你傻傻的固执

我不要你解释
我不要你发誓
我只要你记得此刻
你眼里我的样子

爱我不要解释
爱我不要发誓
这一刻到世界末日
让我们一起把爱
化成最美最美的钻石

你把平凡的日子变成纪念日
永恒变成未来史男孩变王子
我不要有大房子也不要大宝石
我会珍惜可乐戒指永恒的消失

你用吃完的糖果纸那是你的方式
默默地写下你发誓你说保护我一辈子
那一秒突然看到了你背后的双翅

从此刻到世界末日
让我们一起把爱活成最美的钻石

你在等答案
我会对你说...... YES

She's So Grown Up

2008-12-20T23:15:00.000+08:00

It just suddenly hit me one day that my little girl has grown so much so fast.

I was eating noodles in the room while using the com and when I just finished my food, Yun Yi walked in. Seeing I had finished my food, she just walked over to me, reached out, took the bowl and told me "Mummy, I'll bring this out for you."

My little girl is really sweet.

Liar Liar

2008-12-19T23:28:00.002+08:00

My son finally gave up his addiction to his pacifier. Because the pacifier mysteriously disappeared from the house. He cried for a whole 3 minutes and finally believed us when we told him cockroaches took his pacifier away.

I was the huge cockroach. I threw the pacifier down the rubbish chute.

I am so glad I did. Hey, a mother has got to do what she has gotta do right?

Oh We Love Him So Very Much!!!!

2008-12-14T22:13:00.005+08:00

Finally it was time to watch the much awaited concert. Andy Lau Wonderful World Concert 2008 on Friday night.

Snapping away while waiting to enter.

Blew part of my bonus on these tix a few months back. Worth every single cent of it!!!

Our favourite man, Andy!!!

Ok ok, I know we are all grown ups and should try to control abit. But we just love him so very much. He is super duper handsome can? The concert was more than awesome, it was so great that I cannot find a word to describe. The crowd and atmosphere was electrifying and he is so charismatic on stage. The last concert he held here about 7 years ago was great, but he had outdone himself once again on Friday.

There was a tinge of dissapointment when the concert was ending, it was one of those which you wished it will just go on and on............

Awesome Day

2008-12-12T07:37:00.000+08:00

1) It's Friday!!

2) Having Christmas party in the office today!!

3) Andy Lau's concert is tonight!!

Off to the zoo we went on Sunday together with the kids.

Hubby prepared sandwiches while I got the little ones prepared. All time favourite Pocky and Hello Panda was part of the menu.

Armed with the map, we were determined to cover everything (almost!).

Say hello to the gigantic seal which greeted us near the entrance!!

We managed to catch the feeding session of the polar bears and witnessed the bear catching a live fish in the water.

Situated in the middle of a reservoir, the view is simply awesome.

One of my favourites, the butterfly enclosure where you have butterflies fluttering all around you.

They had bats hanging around as well.

Finally we arrives at the newly opened "Rainforest Kidz World" where they had a water playground for the kid to soak in the fun (or get soaked.... same lah!). Unfortunately we had alot more to cover and the sky was starting to get dark, thus the kids did't get to play in the water. Next time then.

Highlight of the day, pony ride!!!

$6 per ride!! Expensive and the whole ride was probably only about a minute. But both of them enjoyed it tremendously!

Didi waiting for his turn after Yun Yi went on first.

My little boy very garang leh!

Next up, snakes!

Lions!!

I love this picture!!!

Baboons!!

My favourite animal in the whole zoo. Giraffes!!

Ahhh..... nothing better than Ben & Jerry's ice-cream after a whole day of walking and heat.

What News?

It's just so depressing to watch the news nowadays. All you hear is retrenchment, financial tsunami, terrorist attacks, demonstrations, closing of airports, change of goverment (AGAIN!!??!!) and weather reports.

Am so looking forward to the long weekend. It's been yet another long week. And of course next Friday is the day! Woohoo.....

Went for dinner at the Japanese Foodcourt this evening.

Great concept, reasonable prices and okay food standard for the kind of pricing. Super packed so it was a good decision to go late at about 8.30pm to avoid the dinner crowd.
