Hey, for those who loves "lor mee", I highly recommend this stall at Seah Im Food Centre. The consistency of the soup is thick enough and yet not gluey. Some lor mee's gravy turn watery even before you are half way thru, but not here. Here, the consistency holds well even to your last string of noodles. The ngoh hiang that comes with it is really tasty and not soggy too. And all this for only $2.50! Only setback; the long queue, especially so dreadful when it's about 33 degrees in the food center. But that's ok, cos just about 4 stalls down, you can get a refreshing glass of sugar cane juice for only $1.00. And of course, while buying that, I could not resist the fried oyster for only $3.00. Not bad for a hearty lunch with my new assistant, Bezner ;p Lor mee is so yummy that I dig in even before taking a photo!

"Lo Hei", a must have with friends and relatives during Chinese New Year's gatherings... . Slivers of fresh raw fish, usually salmon slices are tossed together with thinly shredded carrots, daikons, turnips, crispy corn flakes, sesame seeds and a sweet & tangy dressings, all of which to welcome a prosperous year ahead. And yes, the higher the toss the better and of course must accompanied with "HUAt AH!" My Fengshui's kakis. Out of all the 84 students from the 39th intake of Basic Science of Fengshui, our little group managed to meet up once every month to pursue our interest, this is affinity worth celebrating! "Fish" gelatin from Taka. Interesting textures and not too sweet. Yummy!

3rd day and more visiting and more makans. But at least I ran. Yes, a good run that covers the outer loop of Punggol, cross over TPE and into Sengkang and back. It took me 43mins. Not too bad considering not having run for a couple of weeks. In the beginning the knees hurt a little. And that is for not taking supplements for a while. But after a little warm up, it was great.

More cooking today. Since Mum moves in with me, my house becomes the headquarter. As per our family tradition, 2nd day of Lunar New Year is "daughter's visiting day". Us daughters will go visit and mummy will cook her famous curry chicken, porridge & beehoon. Not one who loves to cook, this is lots of cooking for her. But of course, that was the past. Now I have taken over as the chef :p But of course nothing beats snacking on CNY's goodies...on bed, in front of TV :p heehee, Bezner took a break from his game to join me on bed ;p

Indeed. First time ever that I actually adhere to a strict vegetarian diet today. Felt so cleansed. It's not so difficult afterall. Lunch was fried noodles with mushroom & greens. Dinner was even more elaborate. Ma Po Tofu but instead of the minced pork, I substitute it with green peas and corns. Sweet sour Cauliflowers with Capsicum. The usual Chap Chye and of course my Assorted mushrooms. Regret not having even one photo though! Too distracted with Baby Joey around.

This baby loves her Gold Coins:p

Felt like being "swallowed" into the guts of the dragon Casino entry $100 for local and PR... will that really deters the compulsive gamblers? Yet to open Universal Studio Doing the "shirin" with mummy ;p Sentosa Cove - Bez says this is a definitely a good place to study. Amara Hotel

Long lapse between blogs. That's the problem with having facebook. With emails, we don't write to each other anymore. We sent egreeting cards. Singpost had also cut back on the pick up of snail mails. With sms, we don't talk anymore. We sms each other, coining new sms words that will give Webster a heart attack. Now with FB, we don't even need to meet up to keep in touch. We can share photos with friends near and far. Found long lost friends and even make new friends. Keep up with each other's going and coming... Too much info, too much transparency. Good or bad? Like the other day, I posted "pilates & yoga" on my wall. For my inner circle of friends, they will know that it means that that's where they can find me and join me for the classes and maybe have lunch together after that. For someone who don't know, they can simply ignore it. But no, I have a "friend" who got so offended that he had to leave me a nasty message on my in
