SATURDAY

ok, on sat, went hola for breakfast. then go to school, students reporting for flag day. after about an hour, quite confirm that nobody will come anymore, pack up. went to repair my PC. then some stupid thing happen to me. i couldn't quite believe myself. i miss a step, or rather i didn't see a step and i fell down. lucky i used my hand to 'ding' otherwise i fall flat on my face. but my 2 knee caps, bruised and abrasion. lucky i wear long pants, otherwise abrasion more jialat. kao, i can't believe myself, how could i not see the step???? so damn paiseh. it's like an adult falling down lor, actually it's quite funny.

then still got some time before i head back to school to collect the tins, so we went queensway shopping centre to check out the price of sports shoes. This mr tan hor, his puma shoes almost spoil already, suppose to buy a new one, but then hor, see so long, still haven't buy.

anyway, went back school to collect the tins. then when this is settled, by the time we reach home, it's like almost 3 plus. still have to go hospital. but today, thanks to max who was feeling sleepy, we didn't stay in the hospital too long. then come back, 530 already, later 7pm going my mum's house for dinner, catch a quick nap. oh yah, on the way to my mum's house, marcus fell down. and the funny thing was he fell down exactly the same way as i did!!! he missed a step, then without warning, he fell to his knees. i was like laughing real hard...(actually as i was typing now, i'm still laughing at the incident) it's like i so bad lor, my son fell down, well, he didn't really cry, but it was painful, but this mother here kept on laughing) then we were like telling mabel, u better be careful, watch your step, u maybe the next one to fall.

in the night, on yibing's invitation, went out to celebrate his birthday. mr tan came along too. after the youngest one sleep already, we changed and we decided to take a cab. dun want to be caught for drunk driving. was really excited. it's like the old times again, going out on sat nites. went to qbar at the boat quay. actually it's not really at boat quay. it's opposite boat quay! that's a big difference. anyway, met up, drank some, cut birthday cake and then we change venue. decided to go kbox at marina square. it's really fun to take the slow walk to marina square. makes both of us feel young again . there were about 10 of us.

it was really like good to see some of the ex students, and even happier to see that they have grown up, became best of friends and brothers. we already made appointments, next time i shift to tampines, we will have more chance to lim kopi.

SUNDAY
woke up at 11 plus this morning, reached home at about 5am, so ok lah, about 6 hours of sleep. went over to the coffeeshop to try the new western stall, hmm, not too bad, then it's back to the hospital again. then after that, went to tampines giant to buy food stuff. decided to have steam boat becos marcus wants to catch the spiderman 2 on ch 5 tonight. so called grandma, aunties, sis, her bf adrian, and my mum of course.

tampines giant is a great place to buy things. lots of stuff, the food variety is a lot, the best part is there is live prawns! best for steamboat. beef, tho it's frozen, but not many supermarkets would sell beef sukiyaki or shabu shabu. they are the best for steamboat, tho it's not the genuine jap steamboat. i even manage to get pork sukiyaki. can u beat that??? then at least, manage to get some vegetables that is suitable for steamboat. fruits!!!! oh yah, some inconsiderate people actually stood there and on the pretext of tasting the lychee, ate so many lychee. how cheapo can they get? bought the thai mango too, ohhhhh, saliva dripping.

the seafood range is great too. there is one whole cuttlefish, sotong, not many supermarkets sell this too. and we bought some gong gong. juz boil it, it would be best. then this uncle saw me buy one whole cuttlefish, he wanted to know how much it cost, it was $2 something. then i ask uncle cheap or not, uncle say cheap, he also buy one. it was nice chatting with shoppers. oh yah, there was this salesgirl who recommend me to buy the scallop, half shell. i tell her i dunno how to cook, she even teach me how to cook!!! juz steam can already. i was tempted to buy, but i need to focus on buying things for steamboat. so i told her i'll get it some other time. said i'll get the scallops for steamboat instead. it was great shopping at tampines giant. the best thing is parking is FREE!!!!! i can imagine myself shopping there more often when i shift to tampines.

guess, how much i spent? i bought a packet of rice, some drinks, soya ben, milk, cheese, cuttle fish, live prawns 1 kg, gong gong, vegetables, jambu fruit, mango, meat, beef, chicken, pork pacific clams 2 cans, the shoots 2 cans, scallops 1 packet, udon, yong tau foo stuff, toilet roll, oh yah, and shrek 3 packaging coco balls, (and guess wat, marcus drop the whole packet of coco balls at home while eating, it's like all three of us picking up the balls for him lor. lucky the floor is not dirty) total is $147. cheap sia, for so many things. there would be 8 adults, 2 children and 2 maids eating, total 12 people. about $12.25 per person. cheap.........

ok, i got to go help to prepare the steamboat stuff.
