My mom: the DURIAN EATER!
You guys must be thinking on why I put that title. Hehehe. Well, it's the truth!!!! She ate durian so fast k? She had like 4 seeds and we didn't realise till she came out of my room? There were a total of 9 seeds in the D24 and we were like wow! I hardly finished my first seed when my mom popped out of my room and took her 4th! LOL! We were watching soccer outside, the FA Cup semi-finals between Arsenal and Man U. Man U won of course :) Then after Jess watched Ms Universe Singapore, I sent her off and bought my 2nd durian. Nah, not for me.. for my dad! My mom sponsored :P
Earlier this afternoon I went over to my Uncle's place to pick up a cheque. Took the same taxi as Jess and dropped me off first. Said hi to my Grandma, Aunt and cousin. Her younger sister is however in day camp in school which I discovered that she was actually VICE-HEAD-PREFECT of her school! WOW! What an achievement! [clap clap clap] I also saw puppy (her Golden BTW) who looks better behaved. hehe. Had a long chat with my Aunt, and realised that my Uncle went hi-fi shopping. He's still smarting(?) over his burnt/shorted coil of his speaker which caused it to MIA for 2.5 years. He's using some JBL speakers now. Hahaha. My Aunt then drove me to Novena Square which I met Jess and had really late lunch with her. We finished our food at 4pm. ZzzzZ. Then we bought some groceries at Cold Storage. Jess complained that Cold Storage is so SMALL. Hahahha. Didn't feel that way. We were supposed to buy some groceries for cooking but instead opted to purchase a black pepper roast chicken to save all that trouble of cooking. Of course, the comparative price of the $4.95 chicken (cooked somemore) vs $6++ of chunk of beef for Jap curry seemed more attractive :P Basically bought some white wine, a huge bottle of tiger, and then made our way back. Ooooo that reminds me, her blackforest cake still in the small fridge :/ Then my sis called. I had a pleasant chat with her on the taxi... she said to play WC? But from the time I got home till now never see her online? -_-a Then bought Durian from a stall in Pasar Malam! Pasar Malam has come to my area! YIPEE! Then went to nearby supermarket to buy a can of baby clams (bao pei) 2 bottles of soft drinks.
Well, I hardly blogged these few days.... Just to recap:
Last Saturday, 27th March was Qing Ming, so I went to temple to pray to my Gramps. He died a long way back and I think I was the only grandchild to have actually known him. Some cool eh? My relatives initially didn't want to go up to the hall to see his tablet, but after I asked whether we needed to see him, they said,"No need?" Well, I just wanted to see him, ended up, all of us went up to see him. After that took cab back home with my Aunt like the same way we got there. Dad dropped at the market to do some marketing. Aunt came into my room, then said that she couldn't read .pdf files. Then went over to her place. Unexpectedly spent 2 hours fixing it because she's on dialup. :/ Then after that went out with Jess. She came over to my place, then we nuahed for a while, then went out for like 5 hours from 5-10pm. We bought wine and some nice food, came back to my place armed with "Analyze This" DVD. Excellent show. :) Had Reynold's Merlot with lovely Brie Cheese and of course our fav blue cheese. Keep going for cheese refills. Hahah. Truly a wonderful time
Then the next day, Sunday, I woke up totally wasted. Whole day keep sleeping. I think out of the 24 hours, I slept for like 18 hours? I woke up for 2 hours at 3pm to eat my porridge then can still kpkb because there's the awful ginger inside which I ate a few -_-+ Basically wasted my whole Sunday! But I watched my Man U match!! hahahah! They drew with Arsenal!
Here's what we did for the weekdays.
Monday: we went Marche at Suntec to eat out for a change as well as utilise my $30 voucher for Marche! Grand total for our dinner: S$5.10. Kekekek. After that went to watch a really scandalous show called "Untold Scandals" Full of sexual intercourse.... Korean show with of course, an R(A) rating. Well, let's just said that show made someone nose-bled. :P
Then Tuesday was the last episode for the Channel U 7pm show: "Gods of Honour", so we stayed at home to watch.
Then can't really remember what we did for the past few days le. :P
Well, I do remember on Wednesday, Jess had half day, so we went to Bugis to eat. Ended up ate Swenson's instead. Waitress forgot to key in our Rodeo wings. We had a set lunch each. I had fish and chips and she had crayfish pasta. It's a blessing in disguise as we were really full after the meal and really coudn't stomache the wings if they were to come. :P Then we watched "Passion of Christ". To be honest, the only parts there were impressive were the blood and gore. Heh. Sorry for the cynical comment, but that's IMHO. Then after the sneak preview, we walked down to a bus-stop at City Hall area to take a bus down to Orchard Road.
We went (window)-shopping at Borders, looking for the book Jess wanted. But anyway didn't have it. Some slow in bringing it in? heh. Anyway, Jess bought some nice hand lotion from Marks and Spencers. We had fun trying out all the different scents! I personally liked the Aloe Vera one, but we both agreed that hand lotions should smell of cocoa and butter, so we got that! :)
We had difficulty finding a place for dinner. Initial plan was to go Jackson's place for dinner, but it was too inconvenient? [We were heading towards Bedok eventually] I had suggested Newton Circus, but Jess said too expensive? -.- We wanted to eat Penang Laksa but couldn't. LOL!Ended up eat at the Viet restaurant at Far East Plaza. Blardy ex for a plate of 'shredded' sambal squid for SGD$12. Zzzz Total bill of our dinner was like $40? EX!!!! Anyway, there was a singer and we had live entertainment, so not so bad I guessed. :) We really enjoyed ourselves.
Thursday is April's fool's day, and also our 5th year and 1 month anniversary! I was hurriedly chased out of Jess' room as her Grandmother-in-law was like coming over like IMMEDIATELY? OMG! Luckily I already showered and changed. My sis called me at 9am, so I was up early. Left house like 1 hour before the usual timing which was to meet Jess at 12pm at town. Oh well. Anyway, got her some gifts. Choc, cutsey beanie and a really funny card. Nice to go snailcard once in a while ;) We had Subway for lunch and I bought some grocery for dinner. My mom had gone to Sheng Siong after her church and bought loads of nice cheap stuff. Egg Toufu for like 3 pkts for $1, the large pkts of golden mushroom 3 for $2. WOW! I cooked Sliced Chicken Breast, Chicken Liver with Sweet Peas for dinner as well as Miso soup. Yum!
Friday.. Hmmmmm. Did nothing much. Woke up with terrible headache and feeling feverish. ZzzzZ. Cooked Tom Yam seafood soup for dinner and my mom complained why I put only 1 packet of golden mushroom. +_+ Ended up she added 1 packet of Egg Tofu. Wah. Eat already so full! Then still got so much soup left over. I packed it and put in fridge! hee hee.
