【新加坡】Part 1: Econ Inn / Oriental Chinese Restaurant / The TinTin Shop / Clarke Quay

This's the trip I'd been waiting for few months!! My first Singapore trip with old friends who knew each other for more than 10 years!! I took the evening flight from Sibu to JB on October 1 with Jelline an Annie and we headed to Singapore directly using Taxi. The taxi fee costed us RM165 and we shared it so costed us RM55 each. The best thing was that the driver sent us directly to our destination! Best deal for us who had high potential to get lost! LOL

Econ Inn @ Chinatown Singapore.

We stayed at Econ Inn @ Chinatown for the first two nights. Didn't care much about the quality because it was only for rest at night! LOL. Reached the inn at almost 10pm and we were all si beh hungry! Looked for food court but failed so we randomly chose a restaurant and again, another fail. The food was disappointing.

I ordered the Fried Rice in Yangzhou Style (SGD5) and they ordered the Noodles with Braised Beef (SGD5). And look at the canned drink! Heaven and Earth brand from Singapore! Never see oh~ LOL. Costed SGD1.2 (RM3). Ok, that's expensive! >.<

After that we went back to Econ Inn and slept! LOL And next day, Jelline woke up at 6 sth and Annie and I wok up at 7 sth automatically due to biological clock.

Char Siu Wantan Mee (SGD3) as breakfast! Tasted good! The stall is located in a food court at the People's Park Complex. There are a lot of travelling agencies in the complex! But there are less places to shop. All are about the travelling agencies. 

Tintin shop spotted!! Ahahahaha~ But I'm not really into this cartoon so just simply wander around took some photos and said goodbye~ LOL

Annie doing her henna art. And the pattern was not faded after one week! Wonder how does it look now LOL

Chicken Rice as lunch as requested by Yvonne! But too bad it was roasted and no steamed available.

After lunch, we took taxi to Parkway Parade and after that Aeon and finally Clark Quay to meet Jelline's friend, Ally Yang! A pretty girl from Shanghai, China! =D

Had our dinner at Le Noir @ Clark Quay.

Quite expensive and not much choices and the food so so only but nice atmosphere and scenes! Quite cozy what..

My first Haagen-Dazs in my life! And it's treated by my dear Yvonne Chee! So touch. T^T

Oh, I miss the lion city already. LOL. To be continued with Part 2 -- Universal Studio Singapore and Hard Rock Hotel!! =D

#1 Doggy's incident

The above incident happened during Hari Raya where I was pity enough to work half day. Since ABX wasn't working so we couldn't draw blood to ensure the quality of result. Therefore, when I saw the doggy, I was so happy and went out to play with it. And it really ate its own poo right in front of me!! Swt!

And I couldn't show that I'm flustered since I think it's quite rude especially in front of the owner who's a kind and friendly elder. So I slowly moved towards my office while I was still chit-chatting with her. LOL.

Btw, why does doggy eat its own's poo??

I tried to google and found the below explanation.

1. Maternal behavior
- To keep the environment clean and to prevent the scent to be discovered by other animals which will expose them to a dangerous condition

2. Imitation
- Doggy tends to imitate what it sees especially when it sees other dog cleaning the poo by eating it.

3. Inappropriate punishment
- Punishment by the owner caused the doggy to be scared and it tends to destroy the evidences!!

4. Absorption problem
- Doggy might have absorption problem and therefore it treats the poo as food since it's not absorbed completely.

5. To attract attention
- It thought that it successfully attracts the owner's attention when the owner scolds or punishes when it eats poo.

Lessons: Don't abandon your dog if it eats its own poo!! LOL

Wonder why am I updating this entry since it's sooo meaningless. Haha. Btw, time to sleep! Good night world! =D

Selamat Hari Raya!!

Very soon, it's every Muslim's big big day!! It's HARI RAYA~~ Oh ou oh Balik Kampung~~!! Ok, I'm now at my own's "kampung" updating this entry. Spent a little time to draw the above picture to welcome the festival. And it actually speaks out my mind. GIVE ME FOOD!! I want all those curry, beef rendang so badly!! Can't wait until tomorrow!! LOL

Holiday has come but it's not for me. I still have to work tomorrow, Monday and even Tuesday. However, by working for that three days, I'll be entitled for 3 days replacement leaves!! By that time, I've collected enough replacement leaves for my vacation on coming October!! I'm going to KL and Singapore with classmates during secondary school! Hooray~ Can't wait for that! I need to relax to the max and get motivated to enjoy my life more! =D

This year, I have Malay colleagues which means that I HAVE HOUSES TO VISIT!! I want to eat all the delicious food! Can't wait can't wait I just can't wait for that!! Damn excited right now. I better calm down so that people won't be suspicious on my mental health. XD

A slight degression, Casandra's wedding on last Wednesday!!

Actually I'm intended to write about her wedding but
1. I don't have time. (10%)
2. I am lazy. (90%)

Me with the invitation card. =D

I had campaign that day at Standard Chartered bank and I reached home later than 6.30pm!! Rushed to bath and applied simple make up then my papa fetched me to the restaurant with motor and without helmet!! My dad asked me not to wear helmet to prevent my hair from becoming messy but in fact the strong wind made me look completely mangled out. Oh NO~~~

Reached there, found that the bride and bridegroom were still standing at the main door welcoming every friends and relatives. I felt so relieved and ran towards them to shake hand and entered the restaurant looking for my table. When I just sat down, the dinner started. THANK GOD I AM NOT LATE!!! T^T

Me with the bride!! We know each other since primary school!! More than 1o years!

However, we are not classmates. She's from the RED class and I was from BLUE class. And I forgot how we got so close at that time! LOL

Everyone from RED class EXCEPT ME!! I'm a spy!! XD

Wish her happy forever in her married life and wish everyone SELAMAT HARI RAYA!! =D

Crazy Phlebotomy!

Phlebotomy, by looking at the term alone, you might not have any idea on what's it about. At least for me, when I first reading this term, I have no idea at all and I have to ask Uncle Google for it. I know I'm laoya lah! Haiya!

If you ask Wikipedia, it will tell u that phlebotomy is the process of making an incision in a vein. Wikipedia

So if I were to explain this term, I would say that it's a technique to draw blood. LOL.

I got to learn about phlebotomy while I was undergoing training at Cheras and that would had to be traced back to April this year. Ms Wong, my teacher had done a great job by not showing anger to me although I failed miserably for uncountable times. And during that time, I drew blood for most FOMEMA who came in. I was so pitiful of them. LOL

Actually the purpose of this entry is just to show how the awesome Dr. Yew performed the phlebotomy on his own's hand without any help. Enjoy watching the video and hopefully I can perform the same technique in future!! Well before that, I need to be brave enough to take my own's blood! =D

Blessed Moments...

P/S: There're still not much photos to be posted because I lost my card reader due to not updating for a prolonged period. I'm too busy to update. I rather spend my time watching drama than not to scratch all my dandruff down. XD

As promised, I should write about my birthday here but... WITHOUT MUCH PHOTOS. =P

It had to be traced back to last Wednesday for the first celebration.

I went to play badminton with my colleagues, Chen and Shin together with Shin's friend. Normally after the game, we'd go for dinner together. And usually, we'd had a hard time discussing where to eat. For the first time, they didn't talk about where to eat but directly got into own's transports and headed to the direction where I had no idea where they were going to.

I even asked Shin in the car :" Hey, where are we going? "

She answered :" Secret recipe. "

I replied :" Why? We've just finished playing badminton and now we're going to a restaurant with air-cond!? "

She remained silent. And I smell something fishy!

We ended up going to secret recipe to take the cake, and headed to Wan Lin Restaurant for dinner. To my surprise, another colleague, Edith and her son joined us for dinner there! Ok, I almost confirmed that they were going to celebrate my birthday at that time. =D

My first chocolate flavor cake. Thank you guys~ =D

Now, back to my actual birthday which falls on August 9, Thursday for the year 2012. Early in the morning, I received two gifts. One from Wendy, one from Kathleen. Will show the gift at the end of this post. =D

Noon time, I went upstair to do lab work as usual. When I got down, I tried to settle everything since my manager was on-leave that day. Suddenly, Wendy called me from the ECG room. When I entered the room, I saw her squatting near the laminating machine and seemed like trying to figure out something. I checked and found nothing, then I wanted to go out to get my job done. Wendy pulled me and said that she's scared that the machine'll explode and wanted me to stay with her. My dear Wendy, that sounded too ridiculous!! LOL

Lastly, when I went out, I saw the cake with candles lighted on it.

I was named PINK at that moment. LOL Thank you girls!! ^^

At night, I received another cake from Joyful!! And that was the peary cake I uploaded on my facebook!

SO CUTE! SO CUTE! SO CUTE! SO CUTE! SO CUTE! >.<

Then, we went to Sushi Tie together with Pick Zhi and Jacky. Had a great meal there and I was so happy with my birthday this year! ^^

Had another celebration on Saturday with family members. My lunar birthday falls on coming Tuesday and my dad's on Saturday so we celebrate at once. Went for dinner with my whole family last night and received a lot of presents! =X

Custom made cards from my nephew Lawrence and niece Elaine.

Love you all too~~ ^^

Presents from friend and colleagues.

See the L'OCCITANE hand cream!? That's my birthday present from Karen all the way from Kuching! My first ever birthday present for this year as well since she passed it to me during July! So touched. T^T The book was from colleagues who celebrated birthday with me on the first night. The cute Patrick was from Wendy and the cup with Happy Birthday on it was from Kathleen. Thank you guys! So grateful to have you all as around me!! T_______T

Presents from Bro Vincent and Sis-in-law Sharon from Kuching.

Another present sent all the way from Kuching. Couples watches for Papa and me. Papa was so happy that he wore it once he got it. Haha. Of course, not to forget a big angpaw from Jennifer!! =D

A birthday gift from me myself!!

Lastly, a birthday gift from me myself!! Wanted the D'Moore set for so long and finally I bought it as a birthday gift for myself!! It costed me around 1k for these six products and I so gonna eat grass until next month! Anyone wanna treat me!? =D

As long as it's effective to cure my pimples scars then money is never a problem for me! Have to be determined to fight against the pimples! =S

Btw, it's definitely an enjoyable moment in my life! Thank you everyone who wish me no matter through sms or facebook, just a big thank to all of you! Great to have you all! ^^

Makan Makan At Sweet Zakka House

Ok, that's me. Not so recent one. LOL

Again, I've been missing for quite a long time and now I'm here to simply update a not so new update perfunctorily. What am I talking about. =.="

Btw, do you know what's Sweet Zakka House?

By looking at its name.. Hmm.. Deserts. Right??

Well, it's actually a wonderful place for hi-tea. They serve mainly cakes and beverages. The design there is simple but the environment is just too comfortable that I stayed there for few hours with friends. =)

Photos of cakes they serve. Kindly order at your preference. Of cause not on the spot lah. =)

Do you wonder as me.. Why does it call Sweet Zakka House??

Here's the answer for it. 

Back to the most important part -- THE FOOD!!

They only serve around 9 types of different cakes and 2 cookies everyday. The menu will be different from time to time, depending on the cakes available at the day. And the price is somehow affordable for sure, from RM6.90 to RM8.90.

I went there twice. First with Jelline and Ing Ming on Ing Ming's birthday and that would have to trace back to June. LOL. The second time with Karen. =)

Yum Cake -- RM6.90 (Highly recommended!!)

Classic Cheesecake -- RM8.90 (Not bad also)

Green tea red bean cake -- RM6.90 (Taste is somehow weird but.. SPECIAL!!)

Oreo Cheesecake -- RM8.90 (Nice!!)

Chocolate -- RM4.50 (Normal lor, no surprise)

Passion Soda -- RM6.90 (I didn't try it but Jelline commented that it's too sour)

Yam Milk Shake -- RM7.90

Again, I didn't try it but Ing Ming said that it's too sweet. LOL

This shop has started operating since last year and I only got to know it last month! I'm truly out-dated. LOL. And I wonder why, there's more and more milktea shop set up in Sibu. After Easy Drink Easy Go, there goes WikiTea and now Godzilla!! I've tried the previous two and I'll look for time to try the last one!!

After viewing the pretty and comfortable environment in Sweet Zakka House, what are you waiting for?? Pay them a visit to feel the relaxing moment on your own. I'll definitely visit them in near future!! =D
