Why is eating fruits better?

Eating fruits is better because it's healthier? That's what everyone tell us. I tell u...., eating fruits is better because it is more worth it.

See photo.. $2 worth of starfruit compared to $1.10 worth of Tic Tac! Hahaha...

Catch of the Day

Everyone likes to wake me up early in the morning, including Silver.

I was sleeping soundly when I hear her meow and meow. She was walking around the room. Looks like there's a 'prize'.





I switched on the lights and see her biting something in her mouth. Occasionally, putting it on the floor and chase it around. Ah... Catch you again! Haha.. Then let go, then catch again. Seems like a lot of fun.



After a few rounds of catching, the prey seems to be dead. And it's time to feast on it. Chomp chomp chomp. Not bad.. Fresh sashimi.









That's what's left over. Hehe.. Slurp!

Gambling Cruise

My mum woke me up at 6am on Saturday to ask me to go on the cruise ship with her. Since I had slept early the night before, I didn't mind. And I also wanted to know how the place look like.

While waiting at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, we had nothing better to do, so we decided to try on the Levi's sunglasses and took some photos. Mother look like one of those blind people, all she needed was a walking stick to look like one. Haha..



Let me try it on. Hehe...



We had to go on a ferry called Sea Flyte, and then travel for an hour. After that we reach some ferry terminal which I think is a ferry terminal at Batam, to change to another ferry which is slightly bigger.

After that it took about half an hour to reach the big ship which in the middle of the sea.

Once onboard, the ship crew welcomes us and say 'Good Luck'. Looks like everyone is there to gamble!

My mum wanted to change $1000 chips so that we can get back $40 each as refund for the ferry tickets. I told her not to. Just change $600 and get back $30 each.







Let's see how the outside looks like. Nothing much really.





So, as mum was gambling in the casino, I stayed at the restaurant which meals were served.


There were some buffet counters. So, during meal times, we could eat as much as we want. I didn't eat much for lunch.



After lunch, I went to walk around. Didn't take much photographs...


I was kind of walking around exploring the place. There was nothing much to do. I waited at the cafeteria with my Sony Reader keeping me company. Guess what story I'm reading. :D


At 230pm, there was some performance at the KTV lounge. So, I made my way there to take a look. The singers sang some songs and the audience was allowed to request for songs too.


Drinks were $4 a glass. And there was also a promotion of $10 for 3 glasses. I had some fruit punch.


The show ended at 4pm and the they proceeded to sell some Bingo tickets. I bought one too, just for fun. It only cost $5. In the end, I didn't win anything though.


After that, I went back to the restaurant to wait for dinner and read my ebook. One uncle thought it was a laptop. Haha... And asked me whether I was able to connect to the Internet. He wanted to bring his laptop next time if it was possible. Hahaha...

I don't think I'd go to the cruise with my mum again coz it was a full day of waiting and doing nothing. Maybe if more people (who do not gamble) go together, it'll be more fun.

One more thing, smoking is definitely not banned in all parts of the cruise. I had a hard time breathing and at the end of the day, I smelt like I fell into the ashtray.

Maybe next time, we can go on the Star Cruise. My mum can go gamble, and we can enjoy other facilities.

Learn Driving

I just enrolled myself with the driving school, to start learning driving.

I went to the centre to check how to enrol. So, I had passed my basic theory back in 1994. OMG.. That was like 16 years back? I suddenly feel so old.

Seems like the rules have also changed. We now need to enrol with the school to attend theory lessons and trial tests... Only after we pass our trial test, then we can register for the traffic police theory test... Ohhhh.. To make sure the passing rate is not too low is it?

Nonetheless, I paid $117.70 to be registered as a student. I was given a Final Theory book and a little booklet for bringing with me during practical driving lessons.

Now, let's go online to do the e-learning for theory first. And then book a date for the practice and trial test. Then once I clear that, I can book my final theory test liao.

Baby Full Month Party

Been a long time since I sign in to write something... First, I was lazy... Then, my blogspot posting page had this problem where all the boxes did not appear where it was supposed to be and all over the page. Maybe it was my computer... But somehow ... it's working again today. This computer really gives me a headache.

So, later I'll be heading to my brother's house for the full month party.. It's raining now.... Ahhhh... Need to go out.. but it started raining...

Not So Busy Weekend

Saturday, I went for my facial appointment and also to touch up my eyebrow embroidery…. Now I look a bit like 蜡笔小新 again. Hmmm.. The colour & scab should drop in another 2 days.. Hope it heal soon. It’s like the 3rd touch up I’m doing already.

After that I came home and finish up the 命中注定我爱你 serial. Haha.. Really funny show. Now we can think of what new shows to watch.

On Sunday, as usual, we waited for my sister and brother to come over and then we went out for lunch together. Pei Pei and her daughter, Charlene, joined us too, as they wanted to go to my bro’s place to see Snowy.

We went to a Pu Tian restaurant in Yishun for lunch, and it was yummy. Really like Pu Tian food especially the sweet yam cubes. After lunch, my sister had to go home to do work to be submitted on Monday, so, she can’t join us.

We proceeded back to bro’s house to see the cats!! Meow Meow… Snowy grew fatter and had hair growing at those patches where it was hairless. We believe it is 爱情的魔力. Haha.. Coz now there’s Munchie staying in the same house as her, she has to grow prettier. Haha..

Then after dinner, my bro suggested to bring us to the golf driving range and teach us how to play. I just swing swing a bit… and copying the moves from ‘Pangya’.. hahaha.. And my bro say.. 大姐有一点天份. Haha..

And just swing swing like this and hit a few balls, the next day, I can feel some of my muscles were sore… Sigh… So, sms-ed my boss and say I want to go on one day leave. So pai seh.. Haha..

Slept until 1pm plus then woke up… and then play some games on the computer.. so boring… then went over to bro’s house for dinner… The dinner expensive, coz I was lazy and took a taxi there for $13.25, and then took a taxi back after that… $10!

And… I should be back to work tomorrow… :) Faster clear up all the outstanding work… and have to plan for the office relocation in October… Siong..

Movie Outing

On Friday, I went to meet Chun Cheng and friends to watch Final Destination 4 in 3D.

While on the way to meet them, I saw this pushcart selling some hand-made stuff. They are all so cute. All made in Japanese fabric.

So, I decided to support and bought a tissue paper holder.. It’s hand-made one.. with 2 layers… the inner layer is a purple & white pokka dot fabric and the outside ‘a lot of apples’. They also sell little pouches, but I cannot spend too much money on such things. :D So, decided to just buy this pouch… at S$8.00. A bit expensive, but ok lah… handmade leh.. And quite cute. Next time I should sew more things on my own. Hahaha..

After that I went to meet the others for dinner and then proceed to play some 'giap wa wa' machine. Hahaha.. They didn't managed to 'giap' any wawa that night.

The Final Destination 4 was scheduled to start at 9.50pm. We had to collect a pair of special spectacles for the 3D effect. Nowadays, the special spectacles is much better than the olden days one, where the spectacles was paper.

It really gave the 3D effect a very 3D effect. For a person who does not wear glasses, the spectacles didn’t feel comfortable. Can feel that the air in front of the eyes feel warm… like not enough ventilation. Hahaha..

But nonetheless, the show was nice.. with a lot of gruesome scenes!!! Lots of blood, and flesh… and intestines, and internal organs being torn into pieces.

Ahh.. and the popcorns at Cathay Cineleisure…… is too sweet! And not as tasty as the GV one.

Something to add…before I publish.. wah!! can choose publish date wor.. hehe.. so, though it’s Monday night now.. I’ve set the publish date back to 5 Sep. Kekeke..

At Burger King

Guess what! I'm blogging at Burger King in Orchard Road now. Downloaded this blog lite software, and dun even remember it's full name now while I'm tapping away. Why tapping, not typing? Coz I'm on my iPod Touch now. Haha...

Waiting for Nafi to reach Orchard then go find his friends for dinner. So, while waiting can do some blogging lor, since I didn't update here for a long time. And also to make use of this chance to practise my 'typing' skills on the iPod. Haha... In future when I switch to the iPhone, I won't have so much problems.

Later we are going to watch Final Destination 4 in 3D wor. Hope it's going to be nice. The last time we wanted to watch Orphan but didn't. Sigh...

Friday Night Meeting

Met up with Chun Cheng & his friends on Friday night after work..   We went for dinner at The Asian Kitchen in ION Orchard.  The place is so crowded.  I guess the whole Orchard Road crowd is at ION Orchard.  The service at The Asian Kitchen, was not as good as we wish it was.  There were some hiccups during dinner.  First was the fried tofu that looked darker than in the photo on the menu.  Chun Cheng then asked the waitress, how come it's dark one.  She immediately offered to change it.  That was really good service.  Then the supervisor came and asked if we want to cancel the order instead, as the oil in the kitchen is already so 'dark'.  So, new tofu also will be fried so 'darkly'.  Hmmm .. not that healthy isn't it?  But we say, it was ok, to serve us that plate of tofu again.  It tasted ok though, except that the cubes were cut too smallishly.... not much tofu taste left, except feel very crispy.

 

Then when we almost finish our dinner, we realised that one of the dishes has not been served yet.  So, we decided to ask them to cancel the last dist that's the Xiao Bai Cai.  But after we've asked the waitress to cancel the order.... another waiter came and serve use the Xiao Bai Cai after 5 minutes.  We insisted that we had cancel the dish and he didn't know what to do.  Then another waitress came, and we told her, we had cancelled the dish.  She's the super fast one, said.. it's ok.  And took back the dish.  Later we saw that dish was being served to another table. Hahaha..

 

After that we went to walk around ION Orchard, and look see the whole place.  Everywhere is crowded with people.  Then, they say they are going to meet their friend Edwin, and I also joined in.

 

We then headed to Alley Bar for a drink.  Long time didn't go there.  Haha... After our drinks about 2am plus... we were ready to go home.  Then we see Edwin dosing off.  So... we decided to walk off quietly and took the following pictures.  We then had the waiter at the bar to wake him up and told him "Your friends has left".  Wakakakaka...

Changing Blog Layout

I just found out how to add another column to my blog... Hmmm.. Guess I'm going to change my blog layout and template again.

This time I've to make sure that I copy all the widgets first before I lost all of them again. :)

Essay Writing

I just realize that my blog entries.... LOOK LIKE ESSAY WRITING.

Maybe it's because..... I wrote it from my email and sent it
directly... So, no photos of attached.

I'll try to attach cute photo from Maggie Market whenever I can. OK.
Want to know who is Maggie Market? Go to www.maggiemarket.com. Her
cartoons are all so cute. I use it for my MSN a lot. And the display
pictures for my MSN to show my mood.

Diet Diet Diet

Hehehe... Talking about dieting again, but I've not really started.

I think I'm going to start a daily diet blog, or daily food journal &
exercise blog? I'm worried that it's never being updated. Why not
updated? Coz I didn't do any exercise. Hahaha..

Now, the job is to find a nice template for that blog. Since I know
what now I can email my blog to update it, it'll be a lot easier I
guess... The only thing that is lacking is that all the pictures
attached in the email is being pushed to the top of the blog. I'll
need to log in to edit the post to move the photographs.

And while I was trying to look for a diet blog template online, I
chanced upon this website called The Clutter Diet. It sounds
interesting and when I went to the website. I think that is what I
need!! I need to reduce clutter in my home too. Too many things!
Have to start giving some away soon too. Maybe let's start with my
box full of BAGS! And start giving them away.

I'll be taking photos of these bags soon and hope to post them online
and give away as soon as I can.

Ok.. for a start..... of my diet blog, I've copied down what I ate
today.

Breakfast: Soya Bean Milk (Reduced Sugar) 57 calories + 1 scoop
Tahitian Noni High Protein 80 calories. Michael (my boss from New
York) says that it's not too bad. He's here in Singapore and on a
diet too. And advises me what to eat. Hahaha..

Lunch: Margie cooked pan-friend Mackerel + stir fried french beans +
steamed rice. Michael says 'bad girl'. No oil in the fish! And no
RICE! We said... it's just for today. Hahahaha...

Dinner: Not decided yet. Let me think about it when I'm going home
tonight.

Can I eat Honey Stars for snacks? Hmmmm... It's there on my table,
but I'm not touching it yet.

Exercise: Didn't do any.... but bro say I should start the 10 minutes
workout! Hek Ho Hek Ho.. Every time say only but didn't do.

I'm still thinking of my iPhone. So many things on my mind!! Diet,
Clutter, iPhone, Savings!!!$$$ Spend spend spend.... how to save?
Starting new savings plan next month though.... which is on Aug 1.
Already informed the bank to transfer the money to that new account
monthly. Hehehe.. , just need to make sure I don't go and take and
spend. When the amount grows enough, then I can go start some
investing it. Make more money, then can buy more things, right?!?
YES, RIGHT!

New Idol

I now announce... I'm a fan of Joey Yap. No more Andy Lau... or Donnie Yen. Hmmm.. Donnie Yen still stay... still fan. Still will watch his movies. Kakaka.. He's so 'yeng'. Hahaha..

Who on earth is Joey Yap, some might ask. He's a Feng Shui Master... Wakakakaka.... Got drop off your chairs or not? How come like a Feng Shui master one?

He's a very cool Feng Shui Master leh. I follow his Twitter, and his blog and also subscribe to his youtube videos.... hahahaha.... They are soooo interesting. And he's rather leng zai also. Cannot compare with my Alan lah... Alan is the most leng zai and yeng of all!! Got
vomit? Don't vomit, please. Must say that mah... ngek ngek ngek...
If not, Alan will kill me. Hehe...... (But if you see him liao you vomit, then it's not my problem. Coz he now looks very 残 one. No more like the dak dak dey photo like that liao leh. Work too much OT!..not with me hor.. hahaha.. dun 想歪.)

Want to know how Joey Yap looks like? You can visit his blog to know more. Young and handsome... and know so much about Feng Shui.. so impressive!! Goes on TV... like a
superstar. I'm sure... sure a lot of female 'fansie' one. Go, go check him out. At http://www.joeyyap.com/, and http://twitter.com/joeyyap. For those of you who are in Malaysia, you might be able to hear him on radio.. and see him on TV! So xing fu.....

But.. yippeee... he's coming to Singapore on 2 Aug 09. Looking forward to go to the seminar.... though, I might not have enough 慧根 to understand everything fully. Hehe.... but never mind... don't have enough also have half. Coz my name is 文慧 mah... so already got half of 慧根 already lor. Kakakaka.. What kind of theory is that? Only I can come out with this kind of nonsens Hehehe..

New Method of Blogging

Recently I found out that I can email to my blog and update it
immediately. It's so much more convenient than to log in to blogger
to blog. I can also attach pictures to it. Wah!! What a good
functionality.

Means now I can blog a lot more? Ohhh.. you guys are going to get
many many updates.... I hope! ---throughout the day!!

Hehehe..

iPhone 3G or 3GS

I'm still thinking whether I should get the iPhone. It's a
craving.... Hehehe... And then because I'm currently not a Singtel
subscriber, I'd need to get the iPhone, get the plan, and then pay for
the plan but not using it at all.

I'll need to wait till my M1 contract ends to be able to port my
number over to Singtel. That'd be 1.5 years more!!!

So, I'm still in search of the best solution. Then my friend told me
that actually no need to get 3GS, just get 3G will do. Now we can use
the iPhone 3G to take videos too. The difference is the 3 mega pixel
camera vs the 2 mega pixel camera. And also the slower speed, which
my friend say is OK, though faster is better.

Maybe I can consider getting the iPhone 3G... which I can buy from
someone at a cheaper price without the need to sign up a new mobile
line.

I so gian the iPhone now....

Metal Gate

For the last two days, I was thinking of changing our flat's gate to a new one. Something which Silver cannot squeeze through, looks nice and not too complicated.

Today saw this house near the office. So, quickly took a picture of it. Maybe can make something similar for my house gate. I think with all the curly things, the cat will be trapped. Hahaha..

If you have any suggestions, do send me photos. Thanks! See below example.

What a Dream..

Last night I had this funny dream. Hahaha.. Maybe think too much.

I've recently bought the tickets to the BaZi Wealth Profile seminar by Joey Yap. It's happening on Aug 2, 09 at the Raffles City Convention Centre.

And then I was trying to look for another person to join us so that we can get the $88 for 2 tickets. As I had 3 persons on the list, we had to find one more. So, we've been talking about this for a long time. And finally was able to find another friend to join.

So, yesterday, we finally managed to book the tickets. And then was so happy. And I was also happily surfing Joey Yap's website and blog. Haha... Then hor.. that night dream of the Joey Yap Feng Shui seminar wor. Wah!!! Si fu appear in the dreams!! Is a good sign, right? Wakakakaka... Can buy 4D or Toto or not?

First, was dreamt of we were at the seminar.. and also chopping seats for my friends who were not here yet. So, we used an umbrella to chop 3 seats.... And got one uncle hor... very thick skinned and sat on the chair leh! Then I told him, uncle the seat is taken. He die die also didn't want to move and insisted on sitting there. Feel like kicking him and letting him fly to the exit. Hahaha..

Then we were sitting on the 2nd roll, and when Joey came out to give his speech, he was in casual tshirt and jeans. Hahaha... And the first thing he taught was, don't anyhow dig nose as and when and anywhere.. like on the street, or in office. Hahaha.... Why I dream this kind of thing? Is it the si fu know that I got dig nose?? And come to my dream and 'cheun sau' me some tips? Hehehe.. Sometimes really buay tahan. Kakaka..

It's a long dream, after that dreamt that we got the chance to visit Joey Yap's house!! In the dream it was a really big house!! The front has got full glass from floor to ceiling and can see the living room so very clearly. We saw him sitting there watching TV and eating cookie.

After that he came out of the house... and we saw him driving a pick-up. Hmmm.. is this the way rich people ah? They are rich, but they don't waste money unnecessarily. They just drive a pick-up wor.

Then I heard the cat MEOW.... My cat alarm clock has walked into the room... and wake me up. I realise it was all a dream. A funny one, and one that I can remember so clearly. Thank you si fu. I won't anyhow dig nose la... Don't worry. I got 'yi tai' one. Hahahaha....... :)

Feng Shui Tip of the Day

Nothing to write... so, let's copy and paste the Feng Shui tip that I receive in my email everyday. Hahahaha....

Ok... some updates about me before that. I've been down with flu! Since.... 29 Jun 09.. That's a grrrr-ing 11 days already. I've not yet fully recovered. My nose is blocked.

Guess it was because I shifted furniture when I was not suppose to! I'm going to shift my furniture again this weekend. And going to bring my bed back to the 'good' facing position when I slept and had less problems.

Ok.. here's today's Feng Shui tip... It's good for those friends who are planning to get married. Wish you all have a blissful marriage... and a really happy one lor... Follow the tips... and observe all Feng Shui rules. Don't do those things that you are not suppose to do. Better to believe .. than to be sorry for the rest of your life. It's important.

In observing July's holidays and celebrations, I noticed that this month is sometimes referred to 'National Unlucky Month to Get Married.' Yikes! What's a July bride and groom to do? According to the ancient principles of Feng Shui, there are five earthly elements that themselves represent a union and perfect harmony. To guarantee that your nuptials proceed 'happily ever after,' the happy couple should be sure to include a symbol of each one of these elements on the invitation list. Here's a small sampling and some examples: Tree or wood symbols such as plants, paper, flowers or anything green give life to the wedding party. Fire symbols such as candles, sconces or something red bring passion and a sensual sizzle to the affair. Earth or soil symbols like stones, sand, pebbles or anything brown bring a sense of security without having to get your guard up. Metal symbols like candlesticks, utensils or white items will leave everyone feeling strong like bull, although this is no bull. Lastly, water symbols such as streams or fountains, vases with water in them or anything black brings a lasting sense of serenity and flow; a must for any newlywed couple. I don't know whether or not you believe any of these ancient advisos, but I know that they really work. I promise. I DO!

Warm Regards, Ellen Whitehurst
