Lol.... had a lovely short 4 hr work day on Monday! =D... That was really great! Everyone was in Christmas mood! All ready for Christmas! Lol....
Anyway, had a lovely time going out with friends over the week!
Went to Junction 8 with Tsian Hwee on Christmas Eve! We went to eat Ding Tai Fung... eat their famous xiao long bao...
Somehow or rather i still prefer either Crystal Jade or Imperial Treasure's xiao long bao... Much tastier and wetter..... though they break more easily.. Ding Tai Fung has beautiful hand-made xiao long bao...but a bit too much of flour... LOL...
Anyway, walked around Junction 8.... den found this dessert shop, Mei Heong Yuen, at the basement.... Wow.... Tsianhwee and I went to order our favourite hongkong dessert..... "Dan Lai" Egg Milk Pudding....its like a cold dessert with egg and milk
mixed together to form jelly.... Got yellow and white.... but we still prefer the shop next to Macdonald's at Lucky Chinatown .... The dessert is much less dilute with a better concentrated sweet taste!
We loitered around for abt a few hours den went to watch "Alvin & The Chipmunks"... the movie was darn funny lo....its abt these 3 chipmunks who can sing very well and ended up in the city busking with a evil manager in charge but they later decide to go back to their original caretaker which they 1st met in the city. The movie is funny enuff to make me waste my $8... =D... Cute munks too... Went home after the movie..lol...reach home at 12am sharp.. den was like pengyong called me out to eat mac... LOL... den went out to meet Weida and Pengyong! Lol.... Had a lovely time chilling at Mac with their new iced coffee b4 we went home.... LRT operating hours extended....took train at 1:30am...reached home at abt 2am....
Went out to meet Weida on Christmas Day itself.... we took bus 700A to Orchard Road... as there's an event on the bus route was diverted...and the bus is supposed to turn in to River Valley Road den u-turn back to Orchard Road at P.S. Junction. But the bus driver went straight and passed by Great World City.... and den went all the way to Tiong Bahru b4 he started fumbling and stopped at the bus stop....hoping tat his colleagues would come and save him... den he bumped onto the kerb and the bus almost toppled....close to toppling....
Lucky got 2 commuter uncles came to help driver uncle get back to Orchard... LOL... funny lo... Took us 1 hr 10 mins when we were supposed to take only 45 mins. Bought our night tickets at Cathay.... den went to Bugis to meet Pengyong...
TO? Eat mala steamboat.... There's this mala steamboat that I am so addicted with! Its "Chuan Yi Pin"....just across the street next to Bugis Junction.... Costs $21.20 per person as it was Christmas... $2 extra...the food was nice...from the soup base.... mala and normal...to the nicely sliced pork, mutton and beef..... free ice-cream....yong tau foo...eat all u wan..with some cooked Sichuan food... Nice lo..... worth the price...
weida, pengyong and i simply enjoyed it and i can see myself coming back real soon.... and u will realise u are in china when u are in there....all china chinese waiter/waitresses... and china chinese customers! LOL.... but dun worry lah... they are rich China Chinese....if not $21 how they afford to eat! LOL...
Den weida encountered this english speaking singaporean chinese who was staring there blurly and asked weida if the food is "eat-all-you-can" as he couldnt understand wad the staff was telling him. 1st thing he asked was "Do you know how to speak English?" .... LOL.... he was telling py and i after he took food from the pantry... lol....
How fun! LOL.... anyways, we walked back to Cathay to watch "I am Legend"... nice movie....pretty scary with the sound effects....and the plot was thrilling and fast-moving....enjoyed it quite a lot! LOL...
Went home after which..... This was how I passed my Christmas...how did you?
