If you ask me, 四湾岛有什么东西做？I will tell you, "NOTHING". haha... It's a boring town, not much activities. The only worth mentioning activity is EAT. For 2 days, we do nothing but eat.
For 2 days, we ate:
1. We went to the town's only fast food restaurant - Marrybrown.
We were the only patrons in the restaurant... like we 包 the whole place... he he....
2. Magnum Mini
1 box is only RM10 (S$4). Delicious! I had 3 in 2 days!3. Lobster crackers.
Dunno why their crackers just taste different.
4. Coconut
It's Thai coconut. But cheap and sweet.
5. Lastly, our 压轴, and our main objective! haha.... is SEAFOOD.
清蒸鱼
姜葱山猪肉
铁板珍珠蚝加蛋铁板豆腐
番薯叶
柠檬鸡
龙虾两吃：蒸和牛油

Overnite Trip
It's more than a year since we last visit to 阿公's hometown - 四湾岛 .
We planned this trip since Apr. 二舅 suggested to stay for a night, so that it's not too rush and we can have 1 more day to those delicious seafood!

Though turnout is much lower than expectation, we have to no choice but to follow our schedule as we have booked a whole level of a walk-up apartment. Think it's cheap considering that it can accomodate 20 ppl. For 250RM/nite (abt S$75/nite), you get 3 air-conditioned bedrooms, 1 very spacious dining area, 1 very big hall (for all to "联络感情") and a balcony with unblock sea view.
New Joke
It's 美芝姐姐 & Royston first time to the village, 二舅 and mum must do their routine, introducing the village and our 阿公. We were walking to our apartment after lunch, passing by the shophouse that 阿公 build himself... 二舅 popped the best joke for the year with "我爸爸是 Architect". We laughed our lungs out, since when 阿公 was a architect?! 二舅 reinforce his point by saying that after so many years of rain and shine, the shophouse is still standing strong. Come to think of it, 阿公 is really clever... just lack of some luck, with opportunities who knows, he might really become a architect.

我觉得我的一些坏习惯已慢慢变成一种病……
1. 剩饭
妹妹常常对我这个陋习施与严厉的眼神。我常会吃到最后一口，就饱了，真神奇！有尝试拿少一点，还是会剩下一口就饱了。应该不是量的问题，而是心理的问题。不过我就是吃不下，逼也没用。不是说，有什么籍贯的人吃饭都要留一口吗？为了是“有余”，好兆头啊。（我知道那是歪理，哈哈！）
2. 迟到
就算早起，就算早准备好，还是会迟到。我不是那种会迟个半点钟的人，而是惯性的 5-10 分钟。试过许多方法，至今还未能“对症下药”。有人说迟到好过不到，我是因为留恋家庭的温暖才出不了门的。（又在自圆其说？！）
3. FB-ing
很难想象，自己曾经很排斥 FB。结果有了account 后，现在只要眼前有电脑，就不能不 sign-in。没几分钟就 refresh 一次，看有什么最新 update 。所以告诉自己千万不要 start 一个 twitter account，不然电脑中毒会越来越深，没完没了。（别再怂恿我了！）

第一个是太有钱。
以为有两个臭钱，就很厉害，能砸死人。
炫耀自己的财富不说，还践踏别人来提高自己。
殊不知，不尊重他人 = 不尊重自己。
更糟的是当那“他人”是自己最亲的人的时候。
第二个是没有钱。
可能是生活的苦闷让他烟酒不离手，（那当然是借口。）也因此让他生活得更窘。
一方面，他不得不伸手向人要钱。
另一面，他却因此面子挂不住而自我防备很强，常常会一触即发
了不起的是：他总能摆出一幅问题不是出在他身上的样子。
这也让我有一些体会：
显然，这两个人都缺乏自信和修养。
=> 一个人的自信和修养跟他有没有钱是没有关系的。
他们没句好话，往往会大声说话（对不起，应该是大声喊话），是因为礼亏。
=> 他们天真的以为真理会站在说话比较大声的人那一边。
=> 如果声大还是撑不了场面，就会摆出他们长辈的姿态。
男人不能入错行，女人不能嫁错郎。
=> 我只能为他们背后的女人献上最真挚的祝福。

生病真是件恐怖的事情。
L的母亲原本是个很有福相的长辈。去探病之前，L说：
To L: 就你说的，这是个持久战，身心和身体要有所调整，才能够帮助母亲打败病魔。如今医学发达，不用担心。
L的母亲原本是个很有福相的长辈。去探病之前，L说：
你要有心理准备看到L母才知道她是什么意思——L母小了两号！才两天工夫，她的腿就瘦得和我差不多一样大，看了实在让人心疼。身体持续与病魔交战，让她疲惫的睁不开眼。母亲熟睡的样子和轻轻的打鼾声，竟成了L两姐妹最大的安慰。

就算是福建人，福建话并不是我们的母语 (Mother Tongue)。
在很多新加坡人看来，福建话是属于我们阿嬷的年代，台语歌很 Old School。
有些台语歌的歌词真的写得很好。第一次听到江惠的家后，感动的流下眼泪。后来，想学唱这首歌，竟然屡屡失败，才唱两句就哽咽得无法唱下去。
今天听到的无字的情批 (Wordless Love Letter)，觉得许常德写的太好了。

阿嬷不识字 但是伊识真多的代志
伊讲闪电是天的锁匙 锁匙打开有雨水
阿嬷不识字 但是有一张情批写乎伊
经过几十年不曾拆过 她讲写字不如相思

Find a JP: Mr. Jack Soh (thanks to A) also to Mr. Jack Soh who readily accepted the change and still agreed to be our JP.
Groom's ATTIRE: already tailored. but think my 宝贝 has lost some weights and needs to alter. (which is good news?)
Bridal's GOWN & ACCESORIES: Blue Bay will be gng to try in Jun/Jul
Wedding RINGS: Bvlgari Rings (thanks to Kenny)
Prepare INVITATIONS: Thanks to Jenny as well, for giving me some samples.
