Expo Outing

陳奕迅 - 富士山下



Went to the Expo on Thursday. Of course the Expo is the furthest place you can ever travel from Bukit Panjang, cos its the least accessible, compared to Changi Airport, Pasir Ris or Tampines. Took 1 hr 20 mins to travel to the Expo! Scary...

Take 966 to Jalan Kolam Ayer
Transfer 23 to Tampines Int
Transfer 38 to Singapore Expo

Anyway, reached there.... took brochures and brochures from the exhibitors.. I know NUTS about computers.... so I couldnt make a choice which laptop to buy. So take it home... my dad and brother decide... they buy. I use. Anyways, have decided not to buy for the moment. Haha... Dunno why, just dun feel like having so many laptops...

Haha... the 2003 laptop, my own, is still at home, packed with viruses and cannot be used for more than 5 minutes. This current 2004 laptop, handed down from my brother, occassionally gives me the electic chills, has no microsoft office... but I can still use openoffice for my projects.

Anyway, you know what? I exited the exhibition in 30 minutes. They were some who wanted to talk to me about computers. But Eh.. I dunno anything.. You tell me oso no use. LOL... One pulled me and ask what laptop I buying for. It is for online games! OMG! I dun even play MapleStory lah! LOL... Cant jump over to the next destination! LOL.... Doi Doi... remember tat time peizhen almost died playing the game with me.. lol.... i took 20 mins to jump over to the next tree....haha...


I ended up 1 hour at the John Little Sale. Bought a lot of bermudas. LOL... As you know quite hard to get bermudas these days. Even not nice I also must buy. Cannot "hiam" liao. If not I got no pants to wear! As you know I am XL and sometimes the cutting I cant wear oso!

John Little Sale not bad... can go walk... a lot of things.. their snacks and confectionary section darn big! A lot of Japanese and Taiwanese food and snacks....! Had a lovely time shopping there.. shopped for 1 hr....




4 plus liao.... Malan La Mian! LOL.... I ended up dining at Ma Lan La Mian. Ordered a Xiao Long Bao, a custard bun, their beef brisket la mian and a PEPSI! LOL... i wrote down the wrong number. My barley drink become my grandfather's fav drink - PEPSI! LOL... It has been a long time since I visited MALAN. Remembered it was 2004 when I frequent it once in a while. It was then in Chinatown and they have high tea promotion at $4 - $5 a bowl of lamian! LOL...




Anyway, still liked their lamian...haha...although now i got another better choice wich is Imperial Treasure at Marina Square. I think their Beef Brisket is nice for Malan... but too bad now its at expo.... cant visit tat often.... heard they open another outlet at Tiong Bahru.. can go try someday!

Oh ya.. I think the easiest way to get from Bukit Panjang to Expo is this:

Take 966 to Eunos MRT bus stop
Transfer to 25 to Bedok Int
Transfer to 24 at Bedok MRT Bus Stop

Should take around 1 hr 15 minutes.



Went out yesterday with Tsianhwee at Bugis! LOL... Went to Chuan Yi Pin for our steamboat! Mala Huo Guo... i loved this restaurant cos of its meat! And its soup... too bad they didnt have the beancurd noodles wich i was craving for sometime.. if not it'll be nicer... =) Anyway, had a lovely time eating tonnes of meat, ice cream, yong tau foo, mushrooms and all.... Really paiseh to Tsianhwee.... I used my spoon today so much.... I think u scared to touch the chicken soup.... haha...somemore mess the soup with eggs! LOL... Paiseh.... Both soups....chicken and mala was nice =)
$21.35 per pax after everything.



I seriously recommend visiting them on Mondays to Thursdays! I think lesser people. Nicer ambience.... Yesterday a lot of people...quite warm.... =X




Anyway, walked over with him to Plaza Singapura to watch "Chihuahua".... Nice movie! Seriously recommended! =) Funny and you dunno wad to expect next! Nice comedy! =) And those dogs are darn cute with funny captions and sounds coming from those dogs, the iguana and the rat.


As you know my 3N is no longer available. 1:00am... Sucks! No bus back from Plaza Singapura and NR3 doesnt serve Plaza Singapura Bus stop. Have to walk all the way back to Somerset MRT bus stop back home! Sianz... Anyway, I took 3N with Tsianhwee back to his home... den he accompanied me to Choa Chu Kang Interchange to take NR3. Thanks buddy! LOL.... WAH! Seriously I not going to try this again. I reached home at 2:40am cos this stupid NR3 turns the whole choa chu kang!

I think I prefer walking to Somerset MRT leh... like tat.... lol... or take a cab home.


Slept the whole afternoon today...shagged like hell....

Going to Seoul Garden with Shaun, Kenneth and a few others. Not again... another buffet! OMG!

The Coffin isnt nice. Bad ending. Although scary but the movie is too short and has not much content. Unless you are melting to death due to boredom and the scorching hot sun. Please do not watch.

But quite poor thing are my relatives. Cos the place I suggest, they dun seem to know. Then they lost their way! =X So end up all late. Then they parked their car quite far away. So have to walk a lot.

Grandparents oso suffer =X Have to walk so much, especially my grandfather who is 81 liao and cant walk too much cos he's asthmatic and have to gasp for air after walking short distances. (reason being he's a smoker for over 60 years, blockage in lungs).





Anyway, he ordered Pepsi for his meal! So COOL!!!! Stunned leh... waitress ask wad drinks we want... my grandfather so COOL! He ordered PEPSI! LOL... I order Barley! OMG! I older than him.... my brothers worst off... plain water! Haha....

I don't wanna go... so many people... but have to go I guess... buying a new computer.... cos my current laptop doesnt have Microsoft Office! LOL... and its killing me slowly with the electric shocks...zzz... sometimes there's wire leakage.... =X Scary.... but so far only got small shocks....

Bored....

I know its tiring to stand, but the job is only from 12pm to 9pm... 8 hours of standing... is nothing to me... LOL.... stood 13.5 hours before! Haha... Although I admit my legs get soft when I am on the MRT and bus. HAHAHAHA...

Had chicken rice @ Far East Plaza on the same day.... urmz... i tink the chicken rice has gotten too ex... $8.90 for 2 plates of chicken and a rice and a salted vegetable soup and a drink. I overheard one person meal was $5.50. I ordered an additional plate of chicken and a drink and it costs me additional $3.40! The chicken was nice.... but as for the rice... i dunno why i didnt really like it tat day... used to be quite good de.... but today i can only say tat for their chicken....

Finally I ate my kway chap!

Went out at 730am today. Took 966 to Jalan Toa Payoh and transferred to 105 to Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Hawker Centre. Finally its open! Reached there at 820am. LOL...

Went there twice and went back from without eating the kway chap I liked most! Cos 1st time was last Tuesday and this Tuesday only to know yesterday that they actually close on Monday and Tuesday! Zzz.. No wonder! Saw them cleaning intestines yesterday... last week i thought they had closed for the day! LOL...




The stall has been there since I was young and it really sparks my childhood memories where we used to go there every saturday morning for kway chap! LOL... Even my mum used to go there when she was a teenager, buying kway, egg and tau po for breakfast! LOL... Should be there for over 30 years le lah!





Anyway, the kway chap stall is at Blk 210, Lorong 8 Toa Payoh Hawker Centre, #01-197, Operating Hours: 6am to 845am from Wednesday To Sundays.
Believe it anot! They close at 845am.






The kwaychap is superb =) I loved their pig skin most! Its so "Q".... and oso.... i loved their intestines. They cleaned it so well that you cannot smell anyting bad on it. & Its nice!!! More and more kwaychap stalls these days failed to clean the smell away! Their chilli sauce oso not bad though I am not a chilli fan. =)



Paid $5.40 for this breakfast today! Ordered 2 person dishes ($4), 1 kway ($0.40) and $1 extra pig skin. Kway is 40 cents. Intestines and all average $0.50, ranging between $0.30 to $1.00. So if you order 1 person normal meal... its actually $2.40!

I intend to visit them soon...probably next week... LOL... =)

Went To Clementi for Soon Lee Porridge after that for lunch. Nice but if they close at 845am i wun go visit de lah... LOL.... I like to eat porridge. I dunno why. LOL... But my mum's porridge not bad oso.... I admit. Haha... I like wad my mum cooks for lunch but dislike her dinner menu! LOL...









Anyway, celebrated my brother's birthday yesterday! He's 15 liao. So young!!! OH NO! I am SO FREAKING OLD!

Bought the banana chocolate cake from Secret Recipe yesterday. My brothers didnt really like it! Ha... urmz... i still tink the banana and chocolate didnt blend too well. I liked their chocolate though. Perhaps next time should try chocolate cake.... or cheesecake like my bro suggested.



Watched Madagascar 2 at Marina yesterday. Funny, short but entertaining animation movie. It talks about animals in the zoo being deported back to the wild and their differences and how they manage to adapt back to wildlife. The lion damn cute! LOL..


Watched Winx Club on Monday. Thanks to Tsianhwee for the 4 movie tickets he won from a Yakult contest. More like a cartoon for girls. But anyway, its free so juz watch it since I am quite bored anyway. LOL... Gave the goodie bag away cos its a pink color one for kids and there's no bigger bag for me to carry tat bag! LOL.... Anyway, ok lah... at least i managed to watch the whole movie till the end! LOL...

$3 million tml. Let it be me! =) Friends, please update ur blogs. I am so bored at home right now! LOL....

Singapore Zoo & Changi Airport

Went to the zoo today! Woke up early. Took 927 there. It has been a long time since I went to the zoo! Went together with Tsian Hwee.



Anyway, its a bad day to visit the zoo! So many people.... -_-" 2 family day outings! No wonder... One was NEA and one was Vansathemn Family Day. Actually my dad's company family day outing is last week but I having exams, so wait till this week then visit. The zoo is so packed that you can hardly move at the entrance! Zzz....

Darn crowded. Seriously, i hope there can be lesser Singaporeans. There is gonna be a stampede soon and Singapore will get featured in world news. =X Too many liao lah.... now is like u go everywhere... u have to squeeze ur way through....





Be it MRT, Orchard Road, Shopping Centres, Buses, and sad to say even the Airport. When u actually take a plane flight out of Singapore in December, you'll know why. You need 30 minutes to depart from Changi Airport cos of the traffic jam caused by too many planes flying off at such a tight schedule.


Animals and more animals....

I love to see animals =)

















Urmz.. Zoo hasnt changed much. Remember when I was young I used to visit the zoo once to twice monthly cos we joined the zoo as members. 10 minutes from my home oso... my main exercise is strolling with my family on Sunday at the zoo! LOL....









Where is my tiger exhibit! AHHHHH.... sian.. they closed the white tiger exhibit. Loved to see white tigers the most.... Anyway, saw chinleng and shiting there juz outside the white tiger exhibit... they were there in the zoo too.





Anyway, we also tried the newest boat ride in the zoo. You can get a nice glimpse of the Seletar Reservoir. Worth a first try to see Seletar Reservoir and the nice breeze. =) There's even a small new water park for kids now. LOL..




Damn thirsty. We didnt have any drinks until 2pm cos the drink was freaking expensive inside. $3 ($1.50) for 100 plus bottle. =X $2 ($0.60)for mineral water. I bought Magnum inside for $5.50 ($4) though. Weather so hot we almost died inside the zoo. -_-" No drinks in this hot weather.




Seriously the animals are oso having a bad mood... All hot, restless and tired. Have you ever seen Rhinos and Lions hiding below the trees? Not in South Africa but Singapore. LOL.... I wonder why the weather is so hot today! Zzz....








Took 138 after our visit to Ang Mo Kio Interchange, where we had a nice durian pancake at basement before heading to Singapore Expo for the Food Exhibition. =)





Took 24 from AMK. Wah... reach there.... oso so many people.... See.... Got to savour some nice food like the sakura chicken rice, satay, turkish kebab and some others.







Since its a stop away from Expo, we decided to head down to Changi Airport for dinner before we head back home by 36 and then transfer back to Bukit Panjang by 966.






Had dinner @ Crystal Jade @ T3. Seriously Crystal Jade's standard have dropped tremendously. Because we aint tat full we ordered one lamian, one xiaolongbao, one charsiewbao only. 2 person and we cannot finish the lamian.




Damn salty and tasted horrible, worst den food court. Of cos when its yucky u look at the brown sauce, it looks like shit. Zzz... Seriously, 2 weeks ago the jurong point crystal jade was a disappointment and i tot it was an isolated case. Now again at T3 it disappoints me.... I am not visiting them for a while.... =X




Angry with the T3's promotion and marketing techniques... they had "NO GST" banners and even painted walls with NO GST signage, only to make me pay for 7% GST! Zzzz.... had a shock when I see the bill with a 7%.... Sucks.... and den i was told there's no such promotion.

Went to the banner again and see a small font size 12 wording saying participating outlets only! Zzz.... and u know what... the walls painted dun even have tat term and i stupidly thought its the whole T3!!!! How misleading. How stupid to leave tourists a bad impression over 7% GST! Zzz.... Are they dumb or stupid?
