'Joey's Blog'

Starting of the day, we have dimsum at the nearby Yishun coffee shop( Blk 925) where they sell their famous chicken rice there. However, the chicken rice stall didn't start off their business early in the morning so we ordered their dimsum instead. These dimsum stall here sells affordable price and all of the food above cost us $8 only. Fairly enough to fill our small tummy. Saving the best for tonight!

Back from home from our groceries and Bf's cousins came over to join us. I introduced one of his cousin my newly bought fish eye lens and she was fascinated over it. She even asked her mum to get one for her. HAHA, my bribe worked though. Bf's mum was interested in this lens too! I think I can be a good promoter!

And finally it was dinner time! Bf's mum specially fried chickens for us as she knows that all of us are die-hard for her chicken wings. I even stole 2 wings before we got our steamboat started. Fairly enough for a person who loves chicken wings.

My steamboat never failed to have cheese fish-cakes, hotdogs and meatballs. Just these 3 ingredients are best enough for my meal. However the rest would buy their favourite bacons that I refused to touch on that. Too fattening!

Aunty Jojo being the sweetest Mum for her 3 children decided hand-made her daughter's birthday cake. Not the real sponge cake that you have seen everywhere. This is made from love and sweat!

She self-made her own creation of cake which consists of mango pudding and logans. Setting aside 21 small little jelly pudding as decoration that surprised us with her effort. She simply got it from facebook and watch and learn a few times. But nevertheless. her first attempt was a success.

Everyone goes like "hmmmmmm, very nice!" but aunty's sister thinks that its too sweet to her liking and feedback to cut down the sugar level. For us, we feel its alright but can be improved by putting more fruits in the pudding. After all it was a first try and it came out beautifully (:

Last for all, gifts time. Bf's family tradition goes by opening up the gift infront of everyone which I don't find it a must. Not saying it is rude to do that but im a more secretive person who doesn't want to expose everyone's gifts. What if someone gets their gift that is cheaper than the other party? How will the first person feel? Its all about noticing one another's feeling and also to "give face" to them. So I rather be the selfish person and hide inside the room to unwrap all the presents and share my joy only to myself. Hehe. After all the gifts are all mine (:

But of course everyone has their own traditional ways. Good or bad, we have to learn to respect and accept it. In anyway, it marked down a happy occasion for her 21st birthday.

Till then.

If you are still a student, this is perfectly for you: 

Student Lunch Special @ $9.50 nett. Weekdays only, 11.30 am - 5 pm. Free flow of ice lemon tea or lime juice with 1 main course (to choose from 5 options). For Primary, Secondary, JC, ITE and polytechnic students only.

Other than that:

Happy hours. Enjoy 20 % off your main course from 3- 5.30 pm (Mon- Fri). Exclude eve of public holidays and public holidays.

We all topped up our dishes into sets, with cost us an extra $3.50. They would add in their daily soup, garlic bread and drink.

Today’s soup was tomato soup. This was alright. It’s more on the watery side in western soup and it has a hint of pepper in it already, so there wasn’t a need to add more. The garlic bread is served beside it. In terms of portion size, both our set meals were just right. The tomato soup was served piping hot and it was flavourful, just the way I like the temperature of soups to be.


Bangers and Mash ($9.50)
Why do they call the sausage “Bangers” you ask?


The term banger is attributed to the fact that sausages, particularly the kind made during World War II under rationing, were made with water so they were more likely to explode under high heat if not cooked carefully; modern sausages do not have this attribute. 

These relatively humble ingredients, combined in just this way, are transformed into something truly amazing.  Definitely comfort food in the extreme!  If you have never tried it, you’re missing out.


US pork chop with sausage at $11.50.

This picture was pretty much just eye candy. I have tasted the sausage and pork chop. They go well with the sauce but it would have been a lot better if the pork chop was softer.The spaghetti has its own flavour too but this definitely didn’t fill my Bf up.

All of us gathered at 7.30am but I know my friends well that they will be late (most of my friends are not a morning person!) so in the end, we reached the parade at 8am sharp. By the time we were seated, the program has already started, We didn't manage to see our friend marching in but we sat somewhere near him, hopefully he will be able to feel us. Hahaha!

When they finally did their BMT cheers and roars, that's when my camera was on standby mode to capture this beautiful moment that were led by them.When they announced their graduating speech, 'POP LOR', you can see thousands of caps flying up in the air and everyone was so happy hugging one another despite knowing that they STINK alot. Hahaha. The happiness lies in them is worth capturing and witnessing. This reminded me of Bf's POP too when he first saw me among the crowd, he was excitedly happy and that moment of memories do flash through me every now and then. By the way, his POP was the first and ever time that I attended.

I knew some of my poly-mates were having the same POP as Nicholas, especially Poh Chin when I told him that I will be there to take photo with him but unfortunately, we didn't. He left earlier than what I expected. Was about to look for him at the platform but he was no where to be seen, then I knew that he was on his way to the exit. 

But on the other side while i'm on the way back to look for my clique, I saw Joel and Kimberly and we quickly get a good shots. Just when I was about to leave the premises, I heard someone shouted my name and when I turned to look, MARCUS & Bjorn was there!!! Its been really long that I have seen Marcus ( i think there's like 4-5 months, ever since we graduated from Poly). But he being a 'Hot star' that day, I didn't manage to catch up with him as I have to leave with the rest for lunch.

Lunch was surprisingly Nicholas's dad treat and his dad was so generous to bring us to Din Tai Feng all thanks to Nicholas who is craving for Xiao Long Bao, we got the luxury of dining there.

With a purchase of $80 if you are a OCBC card holder, you will be entitled for a free hot and spicy soup. We opted for a less spicy soup so the spiciness level is 0. No kick at all!

And lastly, a bowl of Tang Yuen which represent 'Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan' ( harmony). So traditional kind of dessert that you often see around in the hawker centre, Chinatown area.

Spent half of the day with classmates and the half with Bf which will be coming up soon (:

Till then.
