Weekend

Weekends – a two day break from the usual work week.
Work last week had been hectic. My last weekend was burnt, trying to rush a paper out for the Board of Trustees. The few days of reduced sleep left me feeling very groggy and lethargic throughout the week. So I am very glad for this weekend. In fact, I cannot wait for it to come!
It finally came! I wanted to start my weekend on the Friday night catching up on housework. But sad to say, I slept while putting Isaac to bed as well. Sat came. We started the day with breakfast (as usual) with 4th auntie. We went to Chinatown. Had a variety of food (wanton mee, porridge, yam cake, chee cheong fun, braised chicken leg, siew mai, har kow, carrot cake, etc) which led Isaac to make this comment:” Wow, are we eating buffet?”
After that, we decided to go to RWS to take a look. None of us had been there, so we all decided that we do a boardwalk, pay $1 each for admission and then walk around RWS.

Took some pictures of the place. Majority are picts of this chocolate shop which made me feel as if I am up in the Candyland of Magic Faraway Tree.

Good friend came back for 2 week holiday

Met up with my tail who came back from USA. We went to this eatery at vivo -黑色会. I had been eyeing on this restaurant for ages and finally got a chance to try out the food there. The snack - fried fish skin was superb. Crispy n lighted salted. Pure addiction! I think this was the only food worth mentioning as the rest were just very usual dim sum taste. In fact I thought their 凤爪 was terrible n paled in comparison to Happy Joy restaurant. Here are some pics taken....

A big welcome back to myself

Ever since we left for Shanghai two Decembers ago, I have not been updating my blog. Mainly cos the great firewall of china blocks out blogspot. Thus I had shifted to sina blog to record my adventures in Shanghai. After coming back in Nov, I was so caught up with work. Now that I am miee settled with work, house and daily life, I shall begin blogging again.
