My colleague saw this sign on a door during her recent trip to Nepal.

Book - Cat O'Nine Tales
Recently bought some really cheap classics from Times. These no frills versions were only going for less than $5.00 per book! Have already read Alice: Through The Looking Glass and The Wizard of Oz. It's nice to read such classics again :)
Have also just finished reading Jeffrey Archer's Cat O'Nine Tales. It was quite enjoyable. The short stories were easy to read and the endings usually put a smile to my face :)

G.O.L.F
How did the name GOLF come about? Apparently, long long ago in the past, this was what it stood for:
G.O.L.F = Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden
*Heard over the radio this morning

Heart-kun - believe it or not
A puppy was born in Japan with a large, clear, heart-shaped pattern on his coat. The shop owner said it was the first time a puppy with this mark has been born out of a thousand she has bred.
She has no plan to sell this puppy and has named it "Heart-kun"

Beautiful rainbow on a rainy day
It's been so long since I last saw a rainbow. Today's one was a real beauty, it was really clear and wide. Too bad i couldn't open the office window for a clearer picture.

CNY
This year we had a very quiet CNY. Since grandma just passed away not long ago, our family is not celebrating CNY. So we spent a few quiet days at home, most of the time wondering which food stalls would be open so that we could fill our stomachs! :p
Nevertheless, we had a mini gathering at our pals' place. Eve prepared a simple, very healthy and yet equally delicious yu sheng too!

Of course we had to end the night with some card games. Unfortunately for the girls, all 3 of us lost while the 3 guys won! Well it seems like a good year for the "rabbit" and "tigers"... but not so good for the "monkeys" and the "snake"!

Mark or Matt?
Admit it... you are confused....
Matt Damon? Or Mark Wahlberg?
Actually I'm not. But I always tease my hubby as he remembers them as one who starred in The Italian Job and one who starred in The Bourne Trilogy.

PS: Matt Damon is the one on the left and he was in the Bourne Trilogy.

11 Jan 2009 - Our Anniversary
Every year right after christmas and new year, the next occasion we are looking forward is always our Anniversary!
Nothing elaborate, like my wife always reminded me each year, that we dont need to have any big celebration. We only need to spend some quality time together. That's all that really matters. It's true!
Well, we went for a treat to ourselves. 2 Gold Class Tickets to the 2 hours and 45 mins show AUSTRALIA. I thought it was a great movie to catch for our anniversary, given the fact that it's sort of like a love story... :) It was really a great show. We both enjoyed it so much! And most of all, we got to enjoy the gold class seats and services early this year. Each time we will always wait for a great show like Harry Porter before going to catch a movie at the GV gold class ... But I felt that this year I wanted to give my wife an earlier treat!
Thereafter, haha... driving all the way to Sunset way for the infamous Daily Scoop. After the satisfying ice cream, it's time for our nap! yes NAP! we headed straight home to rest. :D :D
As for dinner... it's been a long time since we went back to Hard Rock Cafe. As usual... we ordered a whole table full of food... end up we couldn't finish it all... but no matter how full we are, we will definitely get the chilli crab dip down !!! :D

Third Hand Smoke
That’s the term being used to describe the invisible yet toxic brew of gases and particles clinging to smokers’ hair and clothing, not to mention cushions and carpeting, that lingers long after second-hand smoke has cleared from a room. The residue includes heavy metals, carcinogens and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and ingest, especially if they’re crawling or playing on the floor.
Doctors from MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston coined the term “third-hand smoke” to describe these chemicals in a new study that focused on the risks they pose to infants and children. The study was published in this month’s issue of the journal Pediatrics.

Sakuraya
If you love sashimi, you must visit Sakuraya, it is so fresh and at such affordable prices!
We paid only $13 for the salmon sashimi shown in the pic. It would have easily cost us at least $20 in any other restaurants. PLUS! It was so fresh! The total meal only came up to about $68 for 4 persons and that included salmon and scallop. Yummy!!
Seats are limited at the Buona Vista outlet so it's good to be there early.

New Year's Eve dinner
Ushering in the 2009 New Year with a HUAT AH!!!
Had a sumptuous steamboat dinner with my brothers and sisters... whatever you can think of in terms of food, we had it! Pure crab stick that cost $11.80 for just a few sticks! Fresh Scallops... Fresh prawns from the wet market! Delicious Sliced beef that you always get in a steamboat... Of course, not forgetting the deserts especially when the girls all had a separate stomach for that even when they were so full !!! Durian and Apple strudel from Ritz... YUM YUM! Sunset way Daily Scoop ice cream !!! SHIOK SHIOK! We were all so damn full after the whole thing... BUT it was AWESOME !!!
We had a Moet & Chandon "countdown" "sync" with the Channel 5 party! So while channel 5 was counting down, Ben was trying his best to get in sync (that explained why he keeps turning his head in the video). With the New Year here, may everyone of us "tio TOTO, tio BEI PIO" HUAT AH !!!
Guess what! After dinner, we decided to start "Chinese New Year Celebrations" earlier! All of us sat down and started playing the infamous game "IN-BETWEEN" ! Probably because it's been such a long time we played this game! We had SO MUCH Fun and Laughter that we didnt even realise when it was already 3AM !!! Finally succumbed to the "cries of our body" we decided to rest... BUT we shall continue when Chinese New Year is here!
Party crasher
This little kitty suddenly wandered into our house. It was so affectionate, rubbing itself against our legs and not protesting at all when we carried it to get it away from our food.
We gave it some food, thinking it was hungry. But the kitty ended up playing with the food instead of eating it.
Note how it is totally oblivious to our house dog, who failed miserably in its duty to chase away any strangers in our home.

Escape Theme Park
Brought my nephew to Escape Theme Park for his 6th Birthday.
The place is rather small and definitely more suitable for kids. But I'm sure Jen Fai had some a good time there :)

Our Annual Lunch @ Hoshi on Xmas Day
our sixth year! the same restaurant! our annual lunch! almost the same food! but no more same seats though! as usual... one thing will never change! the sweetness!
almost couldnt make it. we had to go for some prayers to my granny, thought we had to give it a miss this year. but luckily the prayers were arranged to be in the morning and ended just nice for lunch.
it's always sweet to go back there. in addition, they had really made over everything.. their restaurant outlook, design, and even menu... We were spoilt for choice and had to flip the menu a couple of times before we could decide what we want to eat... :)
