Best Birthday Present

每一年我的亲戚都会在初一到我家来拜年。往年的惯例是到我家 Karaoke 。可是,他们最爱的娱乐并不是大家的最佳享受。今年,我私自做了个决定……
姨丈:来来来,快点儿开 Karaoke !
我:没有 Karaoke 。
姨丈:为什么!?!
我 (innocently):坏了。

So 没有 Karaoke,那么 what should we do? hee hee...
去年,Royston 买了一台 Wii 给我 as birthday present。It's definitely the most entertaining present! haha....



Wii 还真是神奇。Age doesn't matter,Size 也 doesn't matter!

妈妈的环保意识·赞

每一年,我们都会到NTUC去办年货。今年值得一提的是,虽然我们买了接近$200的年货,不过我们连一个塑胶袋也没拿。妈妈向来讲究环保。不知从何开始,妈妈喜欢带着环保袋上超市。我们一共用了5个环保袋才将全部货品搬回家。

家里不要的信件,全都变成妈妈多功能的“小小垃圾桶”,她会将A4 size 的纸张折成一个四方形的小碗状,适合丢鱼骨头和小纸张。如果有小朋友来访,也不用担心他们在吃饼干时,会将饼碎撒满地,只要给他们一个“小小垃圾桶”就行了。

最夸张的是,妈妈最近发现了在我们家附近有个地方为了推广环保,可以用不要的塑胶瓶来换取米粉!真是前所未闻。妈妈当然是非常支持。

希望有多些环保的活动,让新加坡人更了解和爱惜地球。

一个没有寿星公的生日派对

“Wah...周董终于要来新加坡了啊?而且要在新加坡庆生!”
之前听933电台说唱片公司在Dragonfly为周杰伦开一个庆功派对。没想到原来周董本尊并没来。唱片公司准备了一只周杰伦预碌的VCR和他的MV首播。公司也借此举办了最新的DVD的预购。一个没有寿星公的生日派对,我还是头一回听说。相信也只有像周杰伦这种巨星才有如此的排场。

Singaporeans like to QUEUE?

My darling sister queued for Bak Kwa at 金品香 for 5 hours today! OMG!
Looks like Singapore is not really affected by the bad market, there are still so many people queueing for Bak Kwa. Initially I thought the price of the Bak Kwa will be lowered or the people buying Bak Kwa will be lesser. My guess was obviously wrong. The price is still around the same and the queue is still so long. What's more? According to my sister, people on the queue are buying around 10kg/person, walking out of the shop with many big paperbags. My poor sister had to stand under the sun for 5 hours just to buy 3kg of Bak Kwa. I think she deserve 5 BEE stamps.... haha....

Another place Singaporeans like to queue during CNY is probably the bank. The new notes practically run out just 1 hour after the branch open. Singaporeans are changing hundreds or even thousands of new notes for CNY. I really wonder if they really give so many or such "big" hong bao. The best part is customer comes to bank and make a din at the banking hall when there's not enough notes to go around. What's the point of scolding the bank staff when they are not the one that's responsible for printing the new notes. People, pls 放我们一马吧!

Our 1st Oversea Trip

4人认识了12年,第一次一起出国。去哪里,不重要,重要是跟谁去。我们一起尝试了很多的第一次……




放烟花



It's our 1st time. Wat an experience! 美芝姐姐在 Batam Centre Shopping 看到有卖烟花,问我们要不要买。当然要!哈哈……不过,因为没有经验,we dunno what to do。结果搞了半天才成功把烟花放上天。真是美翻了!就在我们在沙摊上乱成一团时,却听到背后有人在叫我们。残了!有一个Security Guard走向我们。原来,Batam 并不是哪里都能放烟花的,我们在 resort 的海边是不能放烟花的,*SOB*。还好,at least 我们有放过。

Go Cart
第一名:Alicia Ang


Alicia 真是 one dangerous driver 。Every min is $12。蛮好玩的。只是玩完以后有人被 Engine 烫到,有人 complain 手痛、手酸,有人是腰酸背痛。You know who you are.

按摸
按了1½ 小时,只还 Rp100,000 (S$13.60)。这种好康在新加坡哪里找?!只不过,平时爱 Massage 的 Lian 不知搞什么,频频出状况,先是 complain Masseur 不够力,换了个人却好像点到了笑穴,笑声不断,让我们哭笑不得。

其他的点滴

讲明了是个relaxing tour ,所以没有什么计划,想做什么就做什么。就连逛Supermarket 也很开心,买了一堆的东西。正当我愁着没新年衣时,在 Batam 买到a S$36-dress,大年初一有着落了!我们的 Batam trip 在我们提着一袋一袋的东西上船后结束。
