Family Bonds

December 30th, 2006 | Category: Family, Food

It seems like a better weekend this week.. my mother was hospitalised in NUH last week due to some dumb diagnosis by the noobie doctors there, scaring everybody in the family and making my mother even more sick than usual.. (imagine being held on a drip, having to fast for almost 3 days, and taking nonsensical medicine that makes people drowsy!) So I consider it a lousy weekend, except the fact that I pretty much enjoyed the BBQ with the guys for christmas..

Nevertheless, my sister would soon be flying back to Shanghai with my brother-in-law after the turn of the year, ending her vacation.. although she’ll be back somewhere next month for an in-laws wedding, she won’t be back during the Lunar New Year. That also leads to my parents plotting to hide from meeting relatives and giving Ang Pows and spend it with sister. So where does that leave me ?

Anyway, my sister & Bro-in-law made the offer of treating dinner to us , in Shanghai style, so we made a trip down to a Yan Ching Si Fang Cai, which I assume is translated to Yan Ching Dishes, or if I translate it chinaman style, would be Yan Ching Private Room Vegetables.

Duck Soup. Nice. But I think got a bit of MSG.. So I stopped at two small bowls.

Didn’t take a photo of Father, cause he spend a lot of time parking his car, and never added Jackson’s Sister, cause I think it’ll be a little rude without her permission.. so…

Mom looking much healthier now.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Scorching Form

Cristiano Ronaldo has been playing with great form, not scoring the most fantastic of goals, but just banging them from anywhere.. and he’s not even a striker… compared to the grizzly bear, Wayne Rooney…who seems to “shoot bird” recently.

What’s the similarity between Rooney & a bull ? They both see red.

Now that the diff in the premier league is 6 points, lets hope that United can carry on this form till May !

Some New Year Resolution’s for 2007…

1. I will learn how to sleep early.
2. I will cut down on Tao Kae Noi Seaweed. (They cost more than cigarettes!)
3. I will get a downgrade to miss IPPT
4. I will do better in my photography
5. I will not model a Marlboro Reds box for my next 3D Max Project
6. I will not lose my mobile phone.
7. I will consistently buy toto every monday and thursday at quickpick $2 ONLY

I guess this is my last post for the year.. Wishing all a great 2007 !

Legend Fort Canning Park, Hazel’s Wedding, 10 Dec 06

Went down to Hazel’s wedding, a friend since secondary school, and found out that she actually only invited 3 secondary school friends… dunno whether that is good or bad.. But nevertheless.. was honoured by the invite.. and coincidentally was on the same table as her cousin which she introduced many years back.. Food was not bad, but the performances were interesting ! my table was just behind the VIP table.. plonked in the centre.. Don’t play play ! And seriously speaking.. was an inspiring marriange.. so really wish you all the best Hazel ! After which myself, Kaiqin and Yanpei… took almost 2 hours to get a cab… wah lau.. never ever wait for a taxi at Park Mall !! Will pose the dinner photos if have the chance.. but this is Kaiqin and Yanpei… also known as Celeste and Jillia…(aw.. whatever..)Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
