This outing got huge. Usually, I would manage to get only at most 6 people confirming their availabilities. It was a huge surprise that I have 12 confirmations. I nearly fell off my chair when I read the email. Happy is WishBoNe.
Since HF and the rest have not been to The Cathay at Handy Road, we decided to go for Billy Bombers. At 2pm, NL sent me an SMS saying she... Read More »

Usually, I prefer 3D2N trips as it allows me to have a goo rest on the 1st day of arrival. However, Batam isn't really a place where you would like to stay for more than 2 days. It's mostly known for its massage services, just like Thailand. Batam was hot and sexy.
We boarded the ferry at 10am and reached Batam at around 11am. It was still 10am, Batam time. It doesn'... Read More »

DD and I went to attend his friend's baby's 1st birthday. All the mahjong tables except one were out in full force. Goes to show that people do love mahjong. A lot. However, all the tiles had bright colours. I wonder how they managed to keep their eyes from being blinded just by washing them. The bungalow at Aloha was rather spacious. As were reached there at around 8... Read More »

With Chinese New Year falling on Thursday this year, 5-work-day week workers are happy to have a long weekend. For those working on shifts and unable to take any time off without sacrificing your allowance, I do hope your bosses will give you more time off subsequently.
It's also time for me to meet up with my aunt who had gone through the trouble of f... Read More »

Rant ahead.
NYDC is famous for not allowing anyone to make any bookings on Friday. Thanks. At least that was what I expected since my friend had informed me about it. I just wanted to test them. The next sentence sprouting out of the lady's mouth was "It should not be too crowded on Friday at Citylink." Say what? I got 10 people wanting to eat, what if you don't have... Read More »

Attended a wedding at Furama Riverfront Hotel last night. I late but in time for the 1st march in. My first impression of the ballroom, Venus at level 3 was, cramped. I think there were more than 40 tables being squeezed into the ballroom.
The tables were just enough for 10 average sized people. Seems pretty small to me. While the greeter at the lobby was polite, I w... Read More »

You can say that again. Couples planning to tie the knots are having trouble trying to book their preferred hotels due to the steep and rising prices of the banquet tables. Even the red packets (ang baos) have to be bigger too. That way, the couple will not be able to cover their wedding celebrations, let alone honeymoon.
The price list for 2007 is available and I ca... Read More »

Went for a dinner treat by ES because the sisters have helped out at her wedding. It was great and I am now fatter than before. Great. I have resolved to do some workout but have done nothing until now. I think by getting wider in the girth, I get lazier. Darn.
We had the dinner at Just Greens in Chinatown. Ordered my favourite, fried golden mushrooms. Yummy and oily... Read More »

A man used his aunt's XL underwear to put out a fire in the kitchen. He and his cousin were frying bread when the meal caught fire. So, he "grabbed the nearest thing from a pile of laundry to put it out: his aunt's billowing, powder blue, size XL underpants."
The fire official said the general principle of using a large, wet cloth to cover a grease fire was a sound on... Read More »

The Legends in Fort Canning sounds like a fantasy. A place where legends come to life. DD's friend was holding her wedding dinner there and I went with him. A cocktail reception was still going on at 8pm. The wedding card stated 7.30pm. Eventually, everyone arrived by 8.35pm. Sometimes, I hate Chinese style wedding dinners. Everyone is hungry.
The newly-weds had 3 ch... Read More »
