The Skin

Remember last week when my finger had a bad cut off the skin while it got stuck in the drawer? I forgotten to add in, that the next day, I actually looked into the drawer trying to find the skin. Wuahaha.. I was thinking, since the skin wasn't hanging from the finger, obviously it had dropped off somewhere and that somewhere could be no where else but the drawer!!! Initially I was fiddling with the metal piece trying to see if it got stuck there, (with Kim asking me what I was trying to do, and when I told her I was looking for the skin, she was like "EWWWWWW....."). Hahahaa.

Anyway, I couldn't feel it under the metal piece which cut my finger. But not wanting to give up, as it kept telling me in my head that it must be somewhere there... in the drawer... and I FOUND IT!!! I found it, right in a box of where I kept the access card and it was just right on top of the bunch of cards!! All dried up. Wuahahhaa... LOL LOL LOL... Took a snap of it. The Skin.

T-Shirt Sample for SuperBrother

Let me tell you how this idea of wearing a T-shirt with our family status came about.

During my recent trip back home in August, we went to the Queensbay Mall in Penang, and with us was Rou Ching, the one and a half year-old little girl whom SuperMom baby-sit. As we walked and shopped, I love to hold little Rou Ching with me or even carry her sometimes as she is too tiny to follow our phase. Then I realised, that people who looked at us, must be thinking that my brother and I are a couple and Rou Ching is our daughter, with Mom-In-Law towing along us. LOL.. When I told Superbrother that, he got freaked out and think this has spoil his chance of getting hooked up with some chicks (Superbrother is still single and available.. ).. So I told him, the next time I come back home, I shall invent a T-Shirt for each of us, stated our status in the family, like SuperBrother for him, SuperMom for mommy, SuperSister for myself, SuperHubby for my dear husband and SuperGodBrother for KinKin. (for those of you who follow my blog, would know who is KinKin).

Then, I am sure, not only ppl would not mistaken with our individual status in the family, they would find it unique too, and I plan for this as our Chinese New Year clothes. Wuahahaha... its gonna look cute and funny... we are one FUN FAMILY....how I wish SuperPapa is around.. I miss him.. and missing him would always bring tears to my eyes....*sniff sniff*

Sunny Sunday on 20.09.09

Woke up early today, for a Sunday at 9:45am, its damn early for me. LOL... I usually sleep till noon time, ermmm... 12 to 1pm? Last Saturday, I slept at 1:30am and woke up at 2:30pm. Thats a 13 hours of sleep. Hahahaha....!!!! I know this is crazy, but my body just seems to want that much of sleep during weekends, perhaps I have been deprived of sleep on weekdays. So when it comes to weekend, I have to sleep at least 10 hours at one go.. or else I would feel a short change of sleep and feeling grouchy. But after that 13 hours of sleep, I woke up feeling even more tired and even more grouchy. Can't help it. So this week, I told myself, I must wake up before noon..

Yesterday I woke up at 10am as the courier service company called to verify my address as I had arranged for a pick up of brownies and cheesecake to my client. She ordered a Nutty Chocolate brownies and a Oreo Cheesecake, for the festive season. Its Hari Raya, where Muslims would fast for 1 month before the Hari Raya. When the yummies reached her, she text me saying the yummies smelled so good that she almost wanted to cancel her fasting and proceed with the eating away. Hahaha... Anyway, after the pick up, me and Superhubby went to Rivermale Mall for breakfast and I was hoping for a McDonald's Sausage and Egg McGriddles. But the breakfast cut-off time is 11am and at that time, it was already 11:30am. Disappointed...:o(

My backpain is acting up again, started yesterday and it somehow got worse and last night, I was sleeping in pain. Got woken up by more pain and took Arcoxia for pain relief. I am someone who hates pain killer and as much as I could, I will try to bear with the pain till I really cannot stand any more pain and will I consider taking pain killer. Have no choice now, but to seek for an osteopath, recommended by Gurmit Singh. He claimed that he used to have back problem years ago and he only visited this doctor twice and his problem was since then, solved(he even orferred to refund me should the sessions show no result)...Hahaha.. So convincing heh???

Last year when I was having this pain, I went to see Dr.Kevin Yip at the Gleneagles Medical Centre and had an X-Ray done, which showed my pelvic bones were out of alignment. I was prescribed with more Arcoxia and recommended sessions of physiotherapy at Camden Medical Centre with Reg. Total cost was $1k plus. No insurance claim nor company claim. Purely out of my own freaking piggy bank. Damned...

Anyway, can only call Dr.Haynes for an appt on Tues, as the clinic will not be open tomorrow due to Public Holiday. Not sure when he can squeeze me into his schedule. But I just have to try my luck. The longer I drag this, the more pain I am gonna be suffering.

So, having missed my McDonald breakfast yesterday, I was very determine to have it today as I woke up early (due the backpain, remember?)Finally manage to have what I wanted and Superhubby(who hates fast food)... had no choice but to eat McDonald breakfast with me today. :D YAY.....

On our way home, as I walked past the walkway along the road, saw some snails that seems to be sucking on to some leaves and they looked so funny..

When we got home, I made this... Potato salad which consist of cut and chopped, potatoes, apples, carrots and hard boiled eggs. Another fav comfort food for us on a lazy weekend when we don't feel like going out for lunch.

Bumble Bee

Some idiot went for a blood check at the foyer on Friday and got this little bee for another "someone", who wanted ladybird instead and immediately that idiot went down again to get ladybird this time and this poor bee was abandoned.. of cos I adopted it and took it home with me... LOL.. so cute right???

Friday the 18th of Sept.. The Night out with Irene

Left the office at 5pm, claimed my long recorded time-off and went for my body massage, finally the last session. I will NEVER, EVER freaking sign any more package. Damn... they kept asking ppl to sign up packages.. but when I called in for appt, all the time, not half.. but ALL the time, I was told appt slot have been fully taken and I was adviced to make appt as early as a month in advance. CRAZY!!!! How would I know when I feel like having a massage 1 month in advance? And they suggested I can block appt for every Fridays and when I can't make it, then to call in for cancellation. That explains why all the appt slot are always taken up!!!! #$%^&* WTF!!!! Anyway, I ain't stupid to take up the package and happily walked out of the spa.

I walked from Dhoby Ghaut to Orchard MRT to meet Irene, and it took me 25 mins. Slow walk and enjoyed the new face lift of the stretch of Orchard Road. WOW... I saw the newly opened Orchard Central and was very tempted to walk in but I know I will be late to meet Irene at ION. So I gave it a miss and told myself, I will be back.. LOL

Here is a glimpse of the newly opened Louis Vuitton at ION.

Then we walked around the basement, from B2 to B3 and B4..looking for food, I was really damn hungry after the massage. Everywhere were crowded with human traffic and I just need food to fill up my stomach. I can't care much about what I m feeding myself. So long as decent food! So we end up at food court... I do not mind fast food but Irene didn't want to eat those. She need solid food, so we went to the Food Opera (expensive version of food court at ION). I settled for Soya Sauce chicken rice, and Irene, a bowl of mee suah with dumpling in herbal soup. (didn't manage to take a pic of her order but here is mine).

I wasn't happy with my dinner, rather expensive for a portion of chicken rice at $4.50 (the cheapest meal I guessed. The rest of the food, cost at least $5.50 for a plate of duck rice, and other local yummies, which you probably pay around $3.50 per plate, but then again, its ION, high class shopping mall...even the food court is called Food Opera).

Feeling unsatisfied, we went to Soup Spoon for my fav bowl of Velvety Mushroom Stroganoff ... this is still the best mushroom soup I ever had.

The reason I love this soup, is because of the texture. You can really taste the chunks of mushrooms and the rich creamy and velvety soup, is not too thick nor watery. Just perfect to my palate.

And its not expensive for a decent soup like this. @ $6.90

I love mushrooms, anything made of mushrooms, I just love them.

After dinner, we went to the ladies to freshen up. I went into this particular cubicle meant for moms and saw this little seat mounted at the corner, for moms to put their toddlers there while doing her business and knowing her baby is safe at sight. Really cool idea and took a snap of this. Cuteeeee...

Again, you can only find this in ION, cos "high class mall".. LOL

Even the paper hand towels dispenser and hand dryers are all located right under the mirrors. Well hidden underneath, and little signage at the bottom corner of the glass to indicate the existance of this technology.

My Superbrother's Super Short Trip - in a day

Superbrother arrived this morning but was scheduled to fly back tonight. Day trip for him. I thought I would not be able to meet him for his trip this time round, but GOD has been very kind to me, and somehow, Superbrother finished work earlier than expected and so I called Superhubby to pick him up from where he was and to drive him to hubby's office to wait for me to finish work and then, pick me up and we can go straight to the airport.

But somehow, when we reached the airport, his flight was delayed and we had 1.5 hours to spend at the airport. Since he wanted to check out Terminal 3, we took the shuttle bus to Terminal 2 and took the skytrain to Terminal 3. We walked and walked... and continue to walk.. but I was hungry and looking for a place where I can grab a bite or something.. continue to walk further... and saw these lobsters and oysters... yum yum..

Thats my Superhubby on my right (on your left) and Superbrother on my left (on your right). We were on our way up the escalator and my hand was too shaky for a clear pic... this is the best I could do... (I've always had shaky hand whenever I try to take pics... may be I ate too much chicken feet when I was young and I still love chicken feet...especially those boiled for a long time in soup.. Supermom used to tell me that eating too much chickent feet can cause shaky hands... not sure if its true... but I really have problem taking clear pics... not steady lei... ) LOL

The glimpse of the Changi GP Festival...but was very quite though..

Secretly taken... the back of the 2 men in my life... my Superbrother and Superhubby... and as the saying goes .. "Behind every successful man is a woman... " and in this case.. I was behind these 2 men.. wuahaha.. and there is also a saying "Picture says a thousand words" ... I was behind them taking this pic.. LOL.. what else are there to say... wuahahaha... *grin grin cheekily*

I have no idea what these are.. just find them weird looking.. didn't have the time to go thru the info panel at the side. Oh Oh.. something to do with Flora Inspiration.. wuahahaha..

I have no idea whats the name of this restaurant (as I do not read chinese) but looks so funny... as if people are dining in jail.. oooopssss...

I couldn't recall what restaurant is this, but I guessed its Crystal Jade. Quite a nice design, looks like a space ship to me.. LOL

We were rushing as we had only 30 mins to order, for the food to be served and to rush back to budget terminal by taking a skytrain back to terminal 2 and take the free shuttle bus to budget terminal. So we decided to just hop into this Xin Wang Hong Kong cafe...

We ordered "siu mai", "har kau", "mua chi", and I love this French Toast with butter and honey... the yummiest so far... and I didn't expect the toast to come out so thick... but it tasted crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside.. just love this texture...

Nevertheless, we enjoyed the time spent, though it was a very short one.. Superbrother is now home in Kulim with Supermom... and its time for Supersister me, to go to bed. *yawn yawn*.. Good Night...

Edmund & Serene's little Treia Tan LeAnn

Baby Treia was born on the 01.08.09. We missed her full month party and finally visited her last night but she was sound asleep, sweetly asleep. The four of us, were yacking away and she wasn't awaken at all by our loudness. Cool baby... LOL.. We can see that both Edmund and Serene have so much patience with this little one.. doing nothing and just watching her sleep.. is enough to make them smile... How I envy... Anyway, here are some pics of her, sound asleep. (check out her cheeks... rosy cheeks.. hmmm.. I so want to munch her cheeks... aikkksss... ) LOL

Anyway, we will definitely have to pay her a visit again... soon... perhaps in the noon time, when she isn't sleeping so much... (according to Serene, she sleeps less in the day time). I would love to hold her in my arms.. (and munch her cheeks.. wuahahaha... scary aunty Lanny....). Till then...

While I was on the way to their block, at the carpark, the strap of my sandal broke and I was limping, slowly till I reached the stairs.. .and thats it... I took off that stupid sandal and just walked bare footed, or else I might just tumbled down the stairs like a ball... LOL
