The kids
Yesterday was at Lubby’s house to have the crabbie dinner.
Ryan reached Lubby’s house in the afternoon and played with him.
As I had an event at 7am yst and woke up at 5.30am, and then went for a short cycling trip at ECP, I was super tired and slpy. However, Ryan wanted to play with me, and so I played with him. But he was also slpy and thus being lazy. We were playing the car racing track and whenever his car ‘flew’ out of the rail, I will have to help him put back coz he just lie there not moving. Haha.
Then Averil came and so I went to rest in the room. But the kids played in the room a few times and thus they wanna come in to play too.
And since it’s not very nice to reject the kids, we let them bring the lego into the room and played. But it was noisy! Lubby was there playing his online game and I was there entertaining the kids though I was still slpy and tired.
Then it was dinner time, the kids finished dinner before us and wanted to play in the room again but since we were still eating, we told them later. And then we were watching TV in the room when they knocked on the door over and over again. Then suddenly Ryan shouted, ‘Auntie Vivian, auntie Vivian, can we come in to play?’ How to reject them? So there I opened the door and allowed them to come in.
As there were many relatives outside, we could hear them talk even though the room door was closed. The naughty Ryan opened the room door and said, ‘shhhh.. lower ur voice! Uncle Kenny and Auntie Vivian watching TV!’ And he did that a few times. I couldn’t stop luffing at him coz we nv expect him to have such action!
And coz they were kinda noisy and I was really tired, Lubby asked them to go outside and play so I could rest. According to Lubby, Ryan’s face was very sad. I dun wish to ask him go out also, but I was really tired and I really couldn’t entertain them. Esp when they keep saying, ‘Auntie Vivian, Jie Jie push me just now.’ ‘Auntie Vivian, didi bully me.’ Usually I will be ok and just tell them to play nicely but yst was really tired and terrible. Even Lubby ‘scolded’ them a few times. And I think it was because we let them play in the room b4 and thus they wanna be in the room again. They gave reasons like ‘it was warm outside.’ Coz Lubby room air con was on.
They are really cute. Esp Ryan. It’s like the moment u see him u will wanna play with him. He is also very well behaved and guai. When u tok to him nicely, and asked him to be gd boy and dun do this and dat, he will listen even if he dun like it. And that’s why I try my best to play with him and sayang him as much as possible. But yst was really too tired.
Anyway tonight I will be able to play with him again coz I’m going to Lubby hse to celebrate his mum’s bday. J

Rajah Inn
Was at Tiong Bahru Plaza yst to catch Transformers. Before the movie, we walked ard the place to find dinner.
Saw this restaurant at level 2, Rajah Inn. Heard this restaurant b4 abt their cheap wkend porridge buffet. Took a look at the menu, they haf steamboat buffet but we only had one hr of dinner time before the movie started so we didn't try out the buffet.
I ordered a hot pot set (beef slice) and I was able to choose what soup base I want. I ordered the herbal one and it's nice! Even lubby who always dun drink soup drank 2 bowls~ haha. And the beef slice are very thin and thus tender. The other ingredients include vege, mushrooms, toufu, crabmeat, fishball. The hotpot set is only $8.80 (other than beef set, they also haf seafood, pork or chicken set) and I would say it's quite worth the money. Lubby didn't order any hotpot set but he ordered a stuff chicken and sweet and sour pork dish, not as nice as the hotpot I felt.
While we were eating, more and more ppl came and very soon, there was a Q outside! wow.. the steamboat must be good. So we have decided to go back and try the steamboat one of these days. :)

Koi Cafe
Have heard abt how delicious their bubble teas are, have read on iwkly abt it too and since Lubby and I were ard AMK area yst, we (or rather I) decided to go and try it out.
Lubby is a milk tea lover and thus he ordered the Bubble Milk Tea. And when I was making the order, I was kinda surprised that we can still choose the sugar level. 100%, 70%, 50%, 25% or 0%. And Lubby chose the 100% sugar level (expected one..). He wanted a Large size one as he was really thirsty (I think?). It costs $3.50.
For myself, I ordered a Honey Black Tea. And I wanted to ask for less sugar but somehow the guy didn't ask me how much sugar level I want. Would it be the case that the sugar level is only applicable for milk tea? can't be right.. anyway the small honey black tea costs $2.40.
We usually see the guys from the bubble tea shop shaking the container for the bubble tea. But Koi does not do that. Instead they use machines to shake the tea! Cute!
After drinking the bubble tea, I can only say that they are really yummy!
The pearls that they use are the smaller ones and they are very gernerous with that. The pearls fill up to almost half the small cup. And the pearls are very very QQ, not like some other bubble tea where the pearls are so soft. But yet the pearls do not get stuck onto your teeth, so dun worry. And the they do not add ice into the tea, unlike some other bubble tea stall. According to Lubby, the milk tea is super milky and that is the reason why it is so yummy.
However, if you are very very full, do not buy a big cup coz after eating all the pearls, u will get even more full.
Though the bubble teas cost more than some other brands, but it's worth the money. I would rather spend a little more on this than those cheaper ones. :)
Koi Cafe are located at TPY. Marina PArade, Chinatown and AMK. I'm sorry that you will haf to search for the shops as I do not have the address. However, for TPY and AMK, the outlets are located at the TPY Central and AMK Town Centre.
Go try it if you have yet to~
The Gamer
Being his playmate, Ryan always looks for me when he sees me at Lubby's place. He will shout for me every now and then. 'Auntie Vivian, come here.' 'Auntie Vivian, where are you?' 'Auntie Vivian, what you doing?' etc.
And of coz I enjoyed playing with him all the time. :)
Yesterday he was using his mummy's laptop and he asked if he could bring the laptop into Uncle Kenny's room. So that he can be with me? :P Then yah he was there in the room using the laptop to watch youtube on cars. And yes, the 4 years old little boy can type what he wanna search on google and youtube. And what he will see everytime will be his Honda Jazz/fit. Yes mind you, he knows all the models of all the cars better than any of us. Just by seeing a small picture, or catching a glimse of the car on the road, he can tell u immediately what model it is! Unbelievable. Anyway I was playing on my DS Lite at the same time and as usual he came over and asked 'Auntie Vivian, what you doing?' And then he wanted to play too. Thus I let him try Mario Kart since he loves cars so much. And he was so excited over the 'F1' (coz it was a racing game)
After teaching him which button to press and after a little while, he was on his own, being able to control well most of the time. I was really impressed with his speed in learning. Then he told me 'Auntie Vivian, you play mummy's laptop. I can play on my own' Haha I was like omg, this cheeky boy~ But I chose to sit beside him and watched him play. Sometimes I walked away and he would say 'Auntie Vivian, come sit here' and patted on the space next to him. :) How not to love such a boy?
And he changed so many position while playing the game. Sometimes sit down, somtimes kneel down, sometimes crossed legs.. etc. And then after playing for abt half an hr or more, his fingers were tired and pain, because he was pressing the buttons too hard and kids do not know how to control their strength, esp when he was so excited while playing the 'F1'. And the next thing he did was changed his fingers to control. From thumb to index finger. And then his index finger was in pain too and thus he used his middle finger. Haha. So cute! We told him to rest a while first and then continue the game since his fingers were pain. He listened and rested for like 5 sec and said I'm ok. Haha. But as we could see that he was really in pain, Lubby told him that that would be the last game and we will play again next time. And he was really guai, he stopped and went to find his mummy. But we all knew that he wanted to cry. But he controlled well and after a while he was distracted by laptop and TV (Playhouse Disney channel).
The thought of him playing my DS Lite just sends smile across my face. I managed to capture some photos of him playing DS Lite yst. :)
position 1: Big boss pattern.
enjoying himself and realxing..
position 2: Yoga. Stretching while playing. 
Position 3: cross legs. (He was aware that I was taking photo and thus looked me.)
position 4: another stretching with soles of feet touching each other.
Thumbs were painful from the game, change to index finger!

Thinking and Thinking...
Am at the workshop now coz lubby's car DVD player sumthing wrong, so is under repair now and I've got nuthing to do so come to blog.
This morning when I left my house, I met someone in the lift which made me feel down and I dunno how to describe the feeling I am having.
After I moved into the HDB block that I'm leaving in Sec 3 til now, I bumped into my primary 4 form teacher, realising she stays in the same block as me. But I didn't 'acknowledge' her because I'm worried that she doesn't remember who I am or we have got nothing to talk abt or she might not want ppl to know that she was a teacher. But I knew that I am just finding excuse for myself.
Anyway everytime I see her I just treat her like a normal neighbour and didn't go forward and call her. And she also doesn't seem to realise that I was her student before.
Today I saw her at her floor and the lift door open. I was shocked. Or rather stunned. Her upper body including the head is tilted to the right. I dunno if she had a stroke or what. But her face looks normal, her hands can still move, she can still walk, but her upper body are just tilted to one side. She was pushing a marketing trolley and had difficulty walking into the lift. Another neighbour helped her and asked her what happened to her but I was listening to music and not able to hear anything. By the time I pull out my earpiece I can only hear 'nowadays medical are very advanced so no worry. Must go for therapy.'
Then when we reached the first floor, I overheard their conversation. My former teacher pushed the marketing trolley not coz she wanna go market but coz she just need some form of support.
Then I feel bad for not 'acknowleging' her. But if I go say hi to her now isn't it weird too..
And I'm feeling down after I saw her. She is always very very thin and has hunch back and she is a bit weird to me. But I nv tot that she will become like this.
Life is so fragile. We really dunno what will happen to us, to our loved ones, to our friends, or to all the passerbys in our life the next minute.
Also health is so important. Illness come without warning. We can nv predict when we will be sick too.
Suddenly I remember the scene from Ghost of Girlfriends' Past, where there was no1 to attend the main character's funeral. And then I think, when I die, will I have any friends to attend my funeral? Maybe I will still have a few people to come, but will there be a lot? Somehow at some pt of time, I just feel that I have no friends, really close friends. And I'm not someone who will take the initiative to say hi to strangers and get to know them. Sometimes I will even keep myself away from them. For some stupid reasons like worry people heck care me, worry this worry that , scared to be paiseh etc.
I think it's time for me to open myself up more to everyone ard me. Though I know it will be hard, but I guess I just got to try.
Jia you!

Gummies
Got these orange, pink and brown yummy chewy gummies from Lubby some time back. He ate some and found them nice and thus asked his colleague to get one packet for me. :) 
We walked past the shop and he wanted to buy somemore to replenish his stock in office and I suddenly saw bear bear gummies in the same form! And Lubby got tat for me so tat I will think of him everytime I eat the bear bear gummies. Hehe. 
Chip and Dale Seatbelt Cushion
Saw this pair of super cute chip and dale seatbelt cushion online, and asked Lubby to buy. :)
Dale had got some really long hair on top of his head and I felt that it looked really disgusting somehow. And so Lubby gave him a haircut~
And anyway since Lubby likes dale more and I prefer chip, we have the respective chipmunk on our seatbelt~

Lubby's Birthday
Had a mini celebration with Lubby after work yesterday.
Ordered cupcakes from my colleague, meant to be a surprise but the box was tooooo big to hide and thus he saw it when I walked to his car. :(
Went to Modesto's for dinner coz Lubby is their mem and he can get a free meal (appetiser + main course + dessert) on his bday. We got to sit next to the window where we can see the waterfall outside. But I think the weather outside is too hot and the aircon inside is too cold so the glass is so blur tat we can't see anything!
Had our dinner and Lubby commented that I look like the bday girl more than him coz I was enjoying my food to the max. I had this seafood linguine which is FULL of seafood! Everymouth I take will have sotong, clams etc. And there was also a flower crab, mussels, prawns.. Yummy! If you are a seafood lover, u should go try it! It's worth the money!!! Lubby wasn't as lucky though. He wanted to eat steak but out of stock liao so he ordered lamb chop instead. We were too full to eat the complementary dessert Tiramisu, as we wanna save our tummy for the cupcakes too. And they actually ta baoed for us. :)
Then we drove to ECP to have the bday cake session. I forgot to ask for candle from my colleague and because there is no candle, I didn't bring along the lighter that W lent me. But who knows Modesto's actually gave candle for the Tiramisu and wasted la coz I din bring the lighter. Anyway the cupcakes were nice. Not too sweet but nice enough.

Sprained My Ankle
Clumsy and lousy me.
Was playing Captain's Ball yst at the field when suddenly I just sprained my ankle and landed on the grass. All thanks for the uneven ground. I was in pain that my leg can't be straight and my ankle is numbed.
After a while, tried standing up and den walked around. Took quite some time for the pain to go off and I joined in the game again. But dun dare to run too much just in case history repeats itself.
I thought everything is fine. But after the game, as we walked up to office and walked ard, I started to feel the pain. And when I went for my meeting at night, I was kinda limping.
When I went home after the meeting, my ankle is a little swollen. Applied some medicated oil. hoping I will be ok the following morning.
But I couldn't sleep well because my feet is always in a position which will cause the pain. The only position that I can place my feet is sideways. And it's very uncomfortable. Everytime I moved or turned in my bed, I will feel the pain or I will wake up because of the pain. :(
This morning the pain is still there and my ankle is still a little swollen. Will continue to apply medicated oil, even in office. And hopefully I will walk normally soon. I can't afford to limp my way to the event ground tml morning for the set up, and I can't be limping at my event on Sunday!
And we have not cycled for a long long time. We planned to cycle this Sat but... all thanks to the clumsy me, looks like we have to postpone our exercise again.. :(

结婚 -- 离婚
那天下午5点多，在电视看到了一则广告，让我觉得百思不解。
我只记得那则广告的内容，它所用的词句，我也不大记得了。那是一则某某律师行的广告，主要要传达的讯息是若要离婚，不要吃亏，拨打它们的电话，他们会帮助你。
看了那则广告后，我觉得有点奇怪。我看过的律师行的广告，通常都是说若有法律上的疑问可向他们寻求帮助。但是这个却是以离婚后不要吃亏作主要信息。
是的，也许刚好有要离婚的人在看电视，刚好他们不知道离婚的法律知识。但是，我却觉得那则广告似乎有在“鼓励”别人离婚。是的，也许当夫妻不再相爱，即使继续生活下去也没意义，反而会让两方都痛苦，那离婚也许就是较好的选择。但是，我想他们还是会自己寻找律师，毕竟离婚并不是很“光荣”或值得骄傲的一件事吧。
最近听电台，听说在某国家，因为经济不景气的关系，离婚率下降了。不是因为夫妻更珍惜对方，而是因为没有钱离婚，所以双方就只好暂时忍气吞声，忍耐对方，离婚就延迟了。然后同样的，也越来越少人结婚，而选择同居。因为结婚需要钱，而现在经济不景气，大家口袋比较紧。而且他们同时也担心，结婚后没有钱离婚。这是什么道理啊！婚都还没结就已经想到要离婚了？他们的脑袋究竟在想些什么啊？
对那则广告和某国家人民对婚姻的态度，我真的不能理解。

My Imperfect Eyes
Am off today, so went to my optician to do my contact lens as I only left with one month stock.
Ever since very long ago, I have this problem whenever I wear glasses. I will feel giddy. I can't adapt to the glasses no matter how long i wear them. And so the glasses always ended up lying at one corner of my room, collecting dust. And I will always wear contact lens ( I only need to wear for my right eye and my left eye is perfect eye sight) and I would rather go without any glasses and see things in a blur state than to wear my glasses and get giddy and headache.
And so today my optician found out the reason behind the giddiness. He said that my right eye ball tend to move futher in (towards the centre) whenever I look at things. Put it in simple words, I have minor cross eyes. Yes because it is a very minor one, and thus no1 actually will notice if they look at me and talk to me. But it is because of this problem that's why my right eye cannot adapt to all the glasses. And thus, he will change the lens for me to a specialised lens which can then correct my right eye ball movement and make it straight and not move towards the centre. But he said that coz I'm not a young little kid, thus it might take longer for it to be corrected. And contact lens are not able to do this correction because contact lens move together with the eye ball. Thus, I will need to wear glasses more often I guess, in order to correct my minor cross eye problem.
The last time when I went there to get my glasses and contact lens done, he told me that my left eye ball is smaller than my right eye ball. Not very obvious but there is a difference in size. Well, all the while I only thought that my right eye double eyelid is much deeper than the left eye and thus the left eye look smaller. And no matter how i look at my eyes, I feel that the eye balls are the same size. Anyway no1 pointed that out until one day Lubby actually asked me, 'your left eye ball smaller leh!' WAH he is the first one (other than my optician) to realise that lor. And so, todae I got myself the cosmetics contact lens for my left eye which will increase the size of the eye ball. Will ask Lubby again to see if it is of the same size as right eye after I wear.
My optician told me to take gd care of my eyes and do not ever ever go for lasik. He said that my eyes are ok, left eye is perfect, and as long as I maintain this and wear the glasses to correct my right eye ball movement, I will NOT need to wear glasses after 40 years old! haha. Isn't that a good news? People always have prob with lao hua and short sightedness when they get older and have to get progressive lens. I really hope that what he said is true! :)
Anyway I love my eyes and I always feel that the best feature on my face are my eyes. But little did I know that they are imperfect, with cross eyes and smaller eye ball on one side.
Am off today, so went to my optician to do my contact lens as I only left with one month stock.
Ever since very long ago, I have this problem whenever I wear glasses. I will feel giddy. I can't adapt to the glasses no matter how long i wear them. And so the glasses always ended up lying at one corner of my room, collecting dust. And I will always wear contact lens ( I only need to wear for my right eye and my left eye is perfect eye sight) and I would rather go without any glasses and see things in a blur state than to wear my glasses and get giddy and headache.
And so today my optician found out the reason behind the giddiness. He said that my right eye ball tend to move futher in (towards the centre) whenever I look at things. Put it in simple words, I have minor cross eyes. Yes because it is a very minor one, and thus no1 actually will notice if they look at me and talk to me. But it is because of this problem that's why my right eye cannot adapt to all the glasses.

好久不见
今天和好久不见的Agnes, Shihui, Renee, Siyi, Juli和Huijiun吃晚餐。相信大家已经有半年、一年，甚至是两年没见面了吧。
到了Tamp 1的店小二吃晚餐。还蛮喜欢那里的食物的，然后就到了Teadot喝茶聊天。
发现身边的朋友有些变了，有些还是和以前一样。最令我们觉得变了的人是我们的Renee。自从她当老师后，似乎话变多了，脸皮也厚了！哈哈！但是我们还是一样喜欢她的陪伴啦~ 然后觉得SH也越来越美了，可能是因为她在穿着与化妆方面下了更多工夫吧！Siyi还是差不多，那些小动作还是在哦~ Agnes还是一样，总是让大家嘻嘻哈哈的，有她在真开心。Juli也是老样子，没什么变，而她的笑声还是一样特别。哈哈。HJ呢，还是一样，常常一幅“我在深思，不要吵我”的样子。
这些朋友，有些是从JC就认识的，有些则是大学的同学。好想念以前的日子。现在大家各忙各的，很难能够聚会。而且也很难迁就到每个人都到齐，所以总是很珍惜每次相处的时间。
我们一定要多多聚会ok？

生育率全球倒数第三名
今天听新闻，新加坡生育率全球倒数第三名。生育率比新加坡还要低的国家是香港和澳门。
为什么呢？
政府不是已经有baby bonus，childcare leaves 等等，为什么新加坡人还是不想生？
不，应该是为什么大多数的新加坡人都不想生？
是因为生孩子很贵吗？是因为养孩子很贵吗？是因为大家都为生活打拼，希望能够有足够的钱成家，买自己的房子、自己的汽车，然后就没有钱养孩子了吗？是因为大家从早上到晚上都不停地工作，和伴侣相处的时间不是越来越少，就是越来越有压力，做了一整天的工，回到家就想倒头大睡。而且和家人一起的时间已经够少了，若有了孩子更不会有足够的时间和他/她相处吗？
但是，为什么那些较贫穷的新加坡却生了又生，明明知道自己没钱养家，甚至连工作也没有，却一个接一个的生。然后又因为这些不懂得family planning的人民，政府有不同的援助计划，劝他们不要生太多。
但是，却有一大票的较富裕却有超级family planning的人民，不想生。
而我，一个这么喜欢小孩，并被别人认为好有母爱的人来说，生儿育女是生命的一部分。是的，要生孩子，要养孩子真的不简单，花费一定很高。毕竟，我们把孩子生下来后，一定想要给她吃最好的、穿最好的、用最好的、住最好的、读最好的，总之，什么都是顶尖的就对了。而大多数的最好，都是要花比较多的钱。
说真的，要结婚就已经要花一大堆钱了。拍婚纱照、喜宴、喜饼、礼物、房子、度蜜月等等，就已经要用上很大笔的储蓄了。然后，就要开始存钱，才能给下一代好的生活环境、好的教育。并不容易啊！
虽然我总是渴望能够早点结婚、早点生小孩，虽然我知道我应该能够尽全力给宝宝有很好的精神生活，能够给他/她足够的母爱与关怀，但是其他方面我能够给他/她最好的吗？我有这个经济能力吗？要考虑的因素还多着呢。
那么，要怎样，新加坡的生育率才会提高呢？

一品排骨饭
4、5年前，曾经在Shaw Tower的食阁吃过着排骨饭/面，在我的脑海中留下深刻的印象。但是后来随着食阁的离开，他们也就不见踪影了。
无意中在网上找到了有关一品排骨饭的讯息，得知他们已在21 Middle Rd开了一间完全属于自己的店铺。于是放工后便和熊熊到了那里吃晚餐。找了好久好久都没有停车位，只好停在图书馆那里。所以奉劝驾车人士，若要到那里去吃，请把车子停在Bugis、图书馆或Shaw Tower，然后步行到一品。
我们叫了排骨饭、排骨面和鱼柳薯条。
他们的排骨不会太瘦，也不会太肥，肉也不会硬。炸过的排骨外脆内软，加上他们自己的辣椒，真的是越吃越好吃。我尤其喜欢他们淋在饭/面上的酱料，让那一口口的饭/面在口中流香。
我本身不是很喜欢在外面吃鱼，即使是炸鱼，我也很怕会有腥味。但是这里的鱼柳相当新鲜，没有什么腥味，却吃出了鱼的味道。炸鱼也和排骨一样，外脆内软。相信他们都是等顾客叫了后才下过煮的，才能那么脆，那么热腾腾地端上桌。
原以为他们有了自己的店，价格可能会比以前昂贵。虽然我也忘了以前是多少钱，但是现在的价格非常大众化。有自己的店，有冷气，每盘排骨饭就只卖$3.50，不就是普通购物中心食阁的价格吗？值得值得。
期待下一次再去吃一品排骨饭/面！
The Importance of having a HP with a GOOD camera
Especially for ppl like me who loves to take photos of everything I see, everywhere I go and everything I eat.
Wanted to go a cute café after work today for dinner, but I didn’t bring my camera with me, and my HP cam is kinda lousy, thus wun be able to take photo of the cute place if I go today.
Thus postponed it to next wk and I will definitely bring my camera along.
And so I been looking at phones with GOOD camera functions for my next HP. So that I can have a ‘camera’ with me everywhere I go.
I concluded that other than FM radio which has been must for all the HP I have, good camera function is another important factor that I am looking at. And next in the list will be wifi function. I used to feel that I do not need that as I can live without internet when I am out. But I realised the importance of it when I was in Hanoi 1.5 mths ago. With a wifi function HP, I will be able to go online anytime I want in Hanoi as there is wireless everywhere. And also being a frequent blogger, I can blog when I’m not at home also~
And thus, one of the HP that I’m looking at now is PIXON. I have been aiming that HP for months ever since I first saw the cute advertisement in cinema just before movies. And now they have metallic pink!!! (totally match my DS Lite) But my contract only ends in October and thus I need to tahan another 4 more mths! And who knows, by then I might change my mind to another HP (as long as it meet all my criteria) as new phones might be out by then.
