We reported to the HDB service centre that the shower head holder in our toilet has fell apart, and there's cracks on our walls again on Tuesday night. We have a total of 9 cracks spread over our 3 bedrooms and 1 in the living room. All are long cracks which start from the base of the wall to the ceiling. HDB sent people to come and fixed the shower head holder pretty fast. It's done in like 15 mins. They changed the top part of the stick, which is the broken part and it's nicely done now. The defect which gives us headache is the cracks on the walls. The worker will first scrap the surrounding of the cracks then fill it with putty, and smoothen it. A few hours later, they will come again to apply a second layer. As they need to wait for the putty to dry before they can paint the walls, they will come back again the next day. They used a sandpaper to smoothen the walls before painting it, this made our house super powdery and dirty. That's n...

This year's Singapore Night Festival is held on 22 & 23 Aug and 29 & 30 Aug, from 7pm to 2am. The venue covers various zones, from National Design Cenre at Bugis, to Singapore Art Museum at Bras Basah, to National Museum of Singapore near Douby Ghaut, to The Substation and Peranakan Museum at Armenian Street. We walked from National Design Centre to Singapore Art Museum and to National Museum of Singapore. We walked for 4 hours plus and were exhausted. My feet still feel sore now -.-''' One night is not enough to cover all the places. National Design Centre Unique decoration at the lobby. I love the "Very Light Exhibition". We walked into a small room filled with white helium balloons which has colour changing neon light in each balloon. The room looks so magical. You can even bring a balloon home! We then went up to level 2 to see some exhibits. You can leave a message for the designer of the exhibits by writing your message on a post-i...

We decided to have a home-cooked lunch on this Saturday. Bought 6 fresh prawns for the price of $5.68. a piece of salmon for $7.50, and 2 tomatoes for $0.62 from Cold Storage. We have the other ingredients at home already. Ingredients (serves 2): 6 Prawns 200 grams of salmon 6 Seaweed chicken 200 grams of minced meat bottled bolognaise sauce 2 medium sizes tomatoes Pasta Tomato Sauce Cut the tomatoes into small piece and put it in a small pot with the bolognaise sauce and bring it to a boil. Turn down the fire to simmer it and keep stirring. Add in the minced meat. Continue to cook until the minced meat is cooked and the tomatoes are no longer chunky. Salmon fish and prawns Rub salt and pepper on the salmon fish and prawns. Grilled them until it's cooked. Pasta Put the pasta in boiling water and let it cook for 8 minutes. Ta-da!! It's healthy and delicious!! Even though we didn't marinate the salmon and prawns, they tasted great! Especially the pr...

Last night, while I was bathing, I wanted to take the shower head from the holder. Suddenly... Oh my god! I've only stayed in my new house for 4 months and the chrome looking holder fell apart??!? Okay, I said 'chrome looking' because hubby said the material look like some plastic instead of chrome?!?! Oh! Did I mention that there's hairline cracks on my walls? All the walls in my 3 bedrooms have that. We reported it to the HDB Service Center a few weeks ago and they called and confirmed with us that they will come and rectify the cracks last Sat. But in the end, they did not appear, and no calls, no news from them at all. So hmmm.. I wonder my bedroom toilet will look like this for how long because I dunno when will HDB send people down to rectify it. For the price I'm paying for my HDB flat, I think I'm paying premium price for lousy fittings, lousy materials and lousy warranty service.

Finally use the Activesg credit for the first time today!! The last time I went gym was like 4 years ago?!! Even go gym also find the slackest machine to do lol... But after the gym session, we decided to indulge...... We ordered curry vegetables, prawn omelette and fried chicken with salted egg sauce. We loved the curry vegetables and the chicken with salted egg sauce. Both are fattening but are so delicious. The curry sauce was really quite fragrant. We want to try the curry fish head next time! This stall is along Jalan Kayu, 267 Seafood Cafeteria. The food are generally quite nice! Then... OMG! It's already 10pm when I got home. Sibei xian. I have pre-Monday blues liao. Seriously, I felt sad having to lead the repetitive life of "happy Fridays" and "Monday blues" every week.  Can I ever find a job and environment that I like so that I wont dread going to work everyday? This should be many people's dream, but it's a dream...

Just watched Guardians of the Galaxy today. I didn't pin high hopes on this movie as it wasn't advertised as big a blockbuster as the other Marvel movies like the Avengers, X-men, Iron man, Captain America, Thor etc. But it was a really nice movie! There's some crappy sense of humor in between the stories but I don't find these humor trying too hard to please or sounds stupid, unlike some other... movies. In fact, the humor in Guardians of Galaxy blended well into the story and flowed really naturally. Which character do I love most? No, not the main lead. I love Groot the most. Groot is a tree-like humanoid and it can only speak the words "I am Groot". It's so cute in the movie! It looked 'toot-toot', and did stupid things at certain times, but it's very kind. It can be powerful and useful when you need it to be and it's so heroic. It sacrificed itself to save its friends. Groot portrayed how nature and trees help and provide for human...

Hihi Happy National Day to all! Spent my National Day afternoon attending Ariel's 3 years old birthday party at The Duxton Hotel. The food was quite delicious especially the mushroom aglio olio pasta, the chicken mid wings and the tempura prawn. Hungry me and hubby only remembered to eat and totally forgot about taking pics of the food, the birthday decor and we didn't even take a picture with the birthday girl! Seriously *Face Palm* The theme of the birthday party is on the movie "Frozen" as Ariel loves it. She was dolled up as Anna today! So cute and pretty princess! The cake they ordered was also decorated with characters in "Frozen". It's a rainbow cake! It looks so colourful and pretty and tasted delicious too! But ya, dun hit me. We forgot to take pics of the cake too! Argghhhh!!! Okay, and after that we spent our day watching the National Day Parade at my parent's house. Hubby loves to watch the marching part of the National Day Parade, ...

To the neighbour above me: You drill your house the whole day last last Saturday, half a day on last last Sunday. You drill again last Sunday, which was yesterday. For your information, on the Notice of Renovation, it clearly states that noisy renovation works are only allowed from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, but you happily drill during weekends. I believe you did drilling works during the weekdays as well. Because today, which is a Monday, I'm sick and took MC, hoping to rest at home, but was disturbed by your drilling for the whole day (except for lunch time) again. I lost count of how many days of drilling have you done. I am wondering is there really soooooooo many things to drill for your renovation? I am seriously wondering if you are renovating or demolishing your house. I would really love to visit your house one day to see what kind of renovation you have done, which involves sooooooooo much drilling, because your renovation are done at the expense of us, your ne...
