Some Updates....23 Jan '08

My internet was down since Sunday morning... Only called the IP guys today, and the technician turned up less than two hours later. Not bad, huh? Turns out that my Linksys wireless thingy got reset by itself to the original settings. Apparently, according to this technician...this Linksys always does this. So...basically, I just need to reset with the RIGHT settings before I telephone for help lah...

Weekend Update...
Took boys to the Ice-Rink on Saturday morning...Normally, we don't go on weekends as it is usually MEGA packed. But H was quite eager to go to this mall to eat the chinese "tong-sui" that they have there.. So off we went early in the morning.

While boys were skating, and H went loitering about, I had a cup of cappucino at Donut Express. Played with my Canon. This is what I got....

We then went to Huang Ting for lunch..... Our first time there... (got this recommendation from a fellow blogger :-D ). What did we have? Let me think...

- Porridge with Pork, Salted Egg and Century Egg

- Prawn Wanton Noodle

- Roast Suckling Pig and Roast Duck

- Steam Minced Pork with Salted Fish

- Xiao Long Pao
- Abalone and Melon Soup

Yes. We wallop everything...as it was GOOD! Sorry lah... no pix cause the boys dug into the food rather quickly, and they didn't allow mommy to slow them down!

Then we went jalan-jalan in the mall. Went into the new department store called Parisian. It looked kinda fancy and expensive. But then...the Sports Station for kids have quite good deals.

Bought S2 a Spalding Sports shoes for about USD 13.

S1's Diadora Soccer Shoes ~ USD 17/-

(An Adidas one would have cost about USD 34!)

Prince Tennis Rackets at USD 5.50 each!!

(They were at a SPECIAL price! Original was about USD 30!!!)

Also went to NEXT, Mango etc etc since they were having sales...but nothing there leh..

After all the shopping, we went into Honeymoon Desserts for "tong sui". This is a franchise from Hong Kong, I believe? I had a walnut/black sesame paste dessert. H had a peanut paste with glutinous rice balls. The boys shared a Mango pudding. The total was about USD 7. Kinda expensive...don't you think? And I feel KTZ in SS2 lebih enak lah. But what to do? Beggars can't be choosers!

Next day, we headed off to Pancious for pancakes and waffles. H says the waffles are not that good. He says A&W's better wor. I think the pancakes are alright. But then again...until we find another place...Beggars can't be choosers...

How to take clearer pix?

Can someone please teach me??

Interior

My Full Breakfast

S1's Waffles with Smoked Beef and Cheese

H shared a waffle with butter and maple syrup with S2. H was so quick that he cut the waffles into half before I could take a picture....
