Lazy bum like me... dun mind paying $3 for delivery service.
Singapore practice: Check before you PAY
I think Macdonald's should review on their delivery service though. I din know that the delivery man has to pay for MY orders before sending them to me.
My meal came without the coke just now. The delivery man hand me my meal without the coke and told me that he had called the restaurant manager, another delivery man will send my coke to me in another 20mins. But I'm supposed to PAY first. In Singapore, we are "educated" in such a way that we make sure everything was fine before we pay. Not that the coke costs a bomb or I'm making it difficult for the delivery man.
"What if the coke never find it's way here?"
The delivery man insisted that he had paid already. So the only thing I could do was to totally reject his delivery, returning the burger and fries.
Well, I dunno who's fault is it. Thank God that Singapore is so small and there's so many Mac's outlet ard. But that does not mean we can tolerate mistakes. Maybe the framework can be improved to give a better service.

两人之间，我比较喜欢许毅源。
Old saying is "男人不坏，女人不爱”。其实在某个程度上，两个都有点儿“坏”。尤其在他们有点儿“坏坏”的外表下而表现的温柔与体贴，是很容易让人感动的。
傅邦像个长不大的小孩，做事无理又冲动，有时他的强人所难会让我对他有了些反感。相对，毅源的的细心沉稳会让我感动。

我不知道还有哪家人比我们爱吃月饼。每年除了新年以外，花最多钱的节日就是中秋节。不信？到今天为止，我们家吃的月饼如下：
1. 天厨（Copthorne King's Hotel) 的传统白莲蓉旦黄(4pcs)
2. 天厨的冰皮莲蓉plus champagne truffle & brandy truffle (迷你4+4pcs)
3. 同乐的送礼盒 - 2个红莲蓉旦黄 & 2个白莲蓉旦黄
4. 东海的白莲蓉双黄 (4pcs)
5. 东海的冰皮莲蓉（迷你8pcs）
6. 东海的冰皮奶黄（迷你4pcs)
7. Goodwood Park Hotel 的传统莲蓉旦黄（2pcs)
8. Goodwood Park Hotel 的杨枝甘露 （2pcs)
9. Ritz Carlton Hotel 的传统莲蓉旦黄(2pcs)
10.Ritz Carlton Hotel 的冰皮Lychee Martini 和莲蓉 （迷你3+3pcs)
11.香港荣华的2个金莲旦黄 & 2个白莲蓉旦黄
有没有很惊讶？哈哈。
老实说，我比较喜欢传统月饼，配上爸爸的爱心中国茶，无比美味。
今年第一次尝试天厨的月饼，比想象中好，尤其能感受师傅挑选蛋黄的用心。在吃完天厨的月饼，紧跟着我们就买了每年都会光顾的同乐。不知是因为师傅将蛋黄压扁还是蛋黄本身的品质就有问题，月饼的蛋黄太干了，切开时蛋黄便碎掉，咬下去时，莲蓉是莲蓉，蛋黄是蛋黄，get wat I mean? 真是有失水准，有点儿失望。妈妈的首选应该是荣华的月饼。记得还很小的时候，爸爸常会买荣华的月饼，因为标上Made in HK的标签，所以价格不菲。现在多亏有Takashimaya，将饼家汇集在一起，要买Made in HK 的月饼也不难了。
近几年，师傅都绞尽脑汁，想 new ideas。我蛮喜欢 Ritz Carlton Hotel 的 Lychee Martini。 值得一试！

Addicted to Bugis Street, especially the $10-street. You will be surprised by the items that u could get there.
Floral-printed Blouse
it's a 2-pc. cost $16, after bargaining.
remember my theory on "limited stock" or "only one"? this is one of those. many same design/cutting but only 1 for each floral print.
Many were amazed by the cheap but stylish blouse I wore.
Star-printed Tunic
2-pc as well. cost $10 ONLY.
initially wanted yellow color, but it's sold out... so bought the white one instead. for $10, it looks decent, goes well with shorts, jeans or leggings.
★Star Buy★
so wanted to own 1 of these Victorian-style scarves... went Novena's "Little Korean", the prices is ard $30+. went to Bugis Junction, the prices goes as high as $100+! SCARY! lastly, went to Bugis Street. First time I was there, one Auntie, tried to up-sell, typical selling pt.
Auntie: 一件＄18，买多一件裙子算你＄30。可以吗？
After much consideration, I went back to the store again a week after. this time, it's a pretty 老板娘. she quote me 1 for $10! ha ha... so i bought 2 without much 2nd thots.

记得去年我和 KC 有这么一段 conversation……
我：在什么情况下会请客？
KC：开心的情况下。
我：为什么要请客？
KC：为了要庆祝快乐的事情。
我: 在请客后会想有什么回报？
KC: 没有要求，只要吃的人开心就好。
When we 请客，we can't expect to earn anything out of it. 说一句老实话，朋友不分贵贱，就算有人没包红包来，你要赶走那个人吗？说好是“请”，应该是不求回报的。I really want my love ones to be there with me to celebrate such a important day. And it's my dream to have my wedding dinner is a ballroom with high ceiling, so restaurant is OUT. But like I say, 我们不是有钱人的孩子。And I have so many friends tat I wan to include in my guest list. Budget for dinner will be even tighter. There must be some compromise somewhere. Think Lian can help me settle this...

Buffet in the afternoon. Using my contacts, I should be able to get some discount for the buffet.

Introducing the new review for movie, RDI - Royston Dozing Index.
Royston dozed off in almost all the movies that we watched... Surprisingly, he din doze off in those 3 shows that we watched. The RDI for these 3 movies is 0.
1The Proposal
The number 1 rated show for the mth is The Proposal.
It's a simple, funny and romantic story. Lots of American jokes. I'm surprised that Royston could understand them. We couldn't stop laughing! And Ryan Reynolds is sooooo handsome. I can't remember what other shows he has acted in off-hand.
2The Orphan
My sis said this is scarier than scary movie. The tag-line for this movie is "What's wrong with Esther?" The plot is quite good. I thot she's just a sicko or sth... When I finally know wat's wrong with her, it did surprise me. I guess it's the suspense that keeps Royston awake. But if he were to rank the show, this show will fall behind The Proposal.
3The Final Destination 4
I would say the show is over-rated by most review. It's a very short movie. We were guessing who's next. And ta-da, THE END. Think it's not worth the ticket price. Moreover, many parts are quite fake. It's quite a disappointment. But I figured that you got to see the 3-D version to enjoy it.

Normally ppl will say “the first and most important step for the wedding preparation is choosing a wedding date.” I wouldn’t disagree. But since we (me and Mr. Wong) have the consensus that we are only gng to get married in another year’s time, we’re gng to take it slooowly. So, I think our most impt step would be BUDGETING instead. Both of us are not rich man’s kids, so we got to do things within our means.
1
Was chatting with a friend on msn 2 days ago. He got married in May and it should be honeymoon period for him. His HDB is not ready till another 6 mths, so the newlywed is staying with his parents. Not that his lovely wife doesn’t like his parents, 相见好，同住难. Sounds tough for him to be sandwiched between. This story is nothing new, many have heard of it already. I am rather determine not to fall into the “trap”.. Thus, looking for our love nest become the top priority. I wanted to stay near my parents so that we will be entitled to the grant, but looks like it’s not that easy to get one in bedok…. The HDB here are soooooo hot!
2
I so wanted to take our bridal shoots overseas and Taiwan came up to my mind. Royston has promised me (long ago) that he will bring me to Taiwan 1 day, cos the last time I was there was so many years ago. So, I thot we could use the opportunities to travel there for a short vacation as well as for photo shoots. I’m intending to check out on the packages.
PS: If it exceed too much of the budget, we would call this off and 乖乖 take the bridal shoots in Singapore
3
Too early for honeymoon planning. Before I have any withdrawal symptoms (like my god-bro), I thot it might be good to think of the destination first and we would work out on the budgeting. I suggested Maritius, Greece, Canada. His face shows that he’s not very interested in those places. His standard answer would be “wherever u want to go lor”. I decided that I should get Royston involved, cos obviously this is a HONEYMOON. I dun want a “you happy so I happy” trip. So I tried asking him if there’s any place that he really wants to go? He said “London”. Since I’ve asked for his opinion, I think the least I can do is to respect his choice. So London it will be.

我们都只知道三姑六婆是鸡婆的意思。它真正的意思是我看台湾的《百万小学堂》后才知道的。
三姑六婆原本指古代中国民间的几种行业：
三姑 - 尼姑、道姑和卦姑
六婆 - 稳婆、师婆、媒婆、药婆、虔婆、牙婆
做了些 research 才知道，师婆是巫婆，虔婆是鸨母（aka Mama-san），牙婆更是贩卖人口的人口贩子。因为她们常常有诱谝妇女图己私利的嫌疑，所以久而久之就变成人见人恨的人。没想到，“三姑六婆”的原意与我们现在用的意思差那么远。以后在这个词时，是不是也要考虑它的原意ah?
Meaning aside, 郑板桥曾告诫家中妇女，不可与三姑六婆之流有任何来往。这点我绝对赞成。

Finally finished the whole series.
Not the hollywood, or traditional kind of Vampires & Werewolves. Not too bad a story. Am quite amused by the story's development actually.
A side note: Mark Lee is almost avoiding all chances to have any meals with us... making us very suspicious. Jiahong suggested that he might be one of their kind. Haha...

I love Filet-O-Fish! Wat's more? It's DOUBLE.
This is not sth new. Mac has brought this dble filet-o-fish back periodically a few times. Mac had used "Double Happiness" for their campaign the last time they launch Double Filet-O-Fish. My sis thinks that they might have missed out "Double Sinfulness". Ha ha...
We had Dble Filet-O-Fish after gym today. I was counting the carb that I was taking in... when I saw the words on the wall:
Since when Mac serve healthy, delicate, fresh food? Mac being mac has most of their food soaked in oil. How to be healthy, it's questionable. It's true that Singaporeans are more health conscious nowadays and do take note of wat they eat. So those words are to 骗人 or 骗自己？

今年的生日没有蛋糕，没有party。
我并不是要铺张，大肆庆祝。在重要的日子，就算不庆祝，也不想一个人孤单的过。haiz. 记得从前常常需要用一个星期来庆祝生日，从来没有像今年如此孤单的度过生日。收到朋友们的 sms, e-mail, fb 的 祝语，知道朋友们还记得，or even bother to wish me happy birthday，让我很感动。
传丰 sms 我说:"girls are like tat, they want ppl to remember their birthday but not their age." 我不得不承认。女人的年纪越来越大，越来越少人问起“你几岁？”的问题。老实说，如果你突然问我几岁，i'll be quite lost,真的需要算一下。Haha...
生日有什么愿望？
到了这个年纪，不敢有什么奢望，只希望事事如意。
