Stuck on a slow moving packed train with a wailing baby is no joke...
Mild headache has evolved into a throbbing one...
With no service announcements, I can only guess that the rain has affected train service to such an extent that we are stopping for a few minutes at each station.
I just wish some brilliant scientist would improve the teleporting process to include human beings. The possibilities are endless!
Bought prepacked Korean Ginseng Chicken from Jia Yen quite a while back as emergency supplies on days that we are feeling lazy to cook.
The portion is just nice for 2 of us with half a chicken and three glutinous rice balls.
Just empty the contents into the cooker (rice cooker with soup function/pot) and cook it for around 40 mins.
For me, I put the rice cooker to soup function for 1 hour so that the glutinous rice gets infused with the ginseng soup and turns into a nice gluey texture.
Selling at around 10 over bucks at NTUC or Cold Storage. Worth a try especially on cold rainy days!
Jio-ed HIM for supper and he agreed!
Bought mutton murtabak, egg prata, dim sum and teh tarik from the prata shop and dim sum stall at Upper Thomson for supper.
So hungry even though we just had Mayim a few hours ago!
Everything just taste so good!
Went to this "hidden" bar a few hours back.
Very dim atmosphere which makes reading the menu a challenging chore.
It was quite crowded towards the end and I can't wait to get out of there.
Service was alright though it was verging on the rude side at some point in time...
Drinks was alright...
Don't think I will be back anything soon.
First time cooking this dish based on the following newspaper cutting.
Chicken fillets was already marinated using italian herbs instead of what was recommended in the recipe. My tiny attempt at fusion cuisine.
Added mushrooms to the above recipe with the end product below.
This dish is supposed to be good for people with weak constitution or people who tends to "kill" alot of their braincells.
Remaining amount of Wai Shan aka Shan Yao will be used to cook this Wai Shan minced meat porridge for tomorrow's breakfast.
Having this family steamboat gathering later and was happily planning and buying the various ingredients the past few days.
Bought 2 sets of chicken bones from Jingshan wet market downstairs on Saturday and was happily boiling water to rinse the chicken bones to prepare the chicken soup base when I realized it has gone bad!
I whiff at the bowl of raw chicken bones so many times to be certain and even asked HIM to do a whiff test to be certain.
The raw sourish smell plus the roasted chicken rice we had just a few minutes ago was enough to make me feel nauseous :(
Got to depend on my trusty pork soup powder for the soup base later...
Felt so cheated sia...
Bought for less than 3 days and the chicken bones had gone bad? Keeping in mind that I washed the items and freeze them on the same day before defrosting them this morning.
Should have just bought the items from NTUC etc.
Bought this oxygen based washing machine drum cleaner from Daiso to try for fun.
Chinese New Year is coming and it is time to spring clean the washing machine too!
According to the instructions, pour the entire contents of 1 sachet (2 sachets in a pack) into the washing machine drum and operate the machine for 2-3 minutes for the water to fill up and mix the cleaner uniformly.
Thereafter, switch off the machine and let the solution sit for 2-3 hours. Final step is to operate the washing machine as per normal for 1 cleaning cycle to enable the solution to wash out.
One thing to keep a lookout for as a gauge that cleaning has completed is when the sitting solution changes from light green to white.
Personally, I think it helps to remove the musty smell which might lingers around the washing drum if we didn't manage to 'air' the drum thoroughly after each wash.

It has been close to half a year since you have left us...
Although we have not been really close, listening to this song on YES 933.3 FM just brought back all the memories...
I am just glad that you have moved on to a better place...
RIP
Went to JB earlier today with the parents and traffic was horrible. Clearance @ JB Checkpoint was a nightmare. Queues for all counters were snaking almost till the end of the arrival hall.
Renovations at City Square seems to be completed for the lower levels. Saw this famous Hong Kong dessert outlet Xu Liu Shan inside the mall. There is also this new xiaolongbao restaurant called "Long De Chuan Ren" in Chinese. Lots of people queuing at both restaurants.
Walked past this new bakery called "Lavender" and bought some stuff to try. Their tuna bun tasted average. It has this weird red powdery topping which tasted slightly pepper-ish. RM2.90 lo! Also bought their pandan cake (RM7) and kaya jam (RM5) to try. Personally, I feel that their prices are catered for Singaporeans.
City Square is rapidly turning into another Singaporean style mall. It would be better if there is a decent sized supermarket there. The auntie cells in me!
One word of caution though, please change currency in Singapore (RM248.50). Rates were super low in JB (RM244.20).

Watched JUMP previously in Korea during our honeymoon.
It was quite humorous and entertaining.
When HE saw the advertisement on FLYING the other day, it was decided that we shall get our tickets too.
The 1.5 hour show just flew past and we were vastly entertained.
Tinges of romance, humour and action...
So far, we are quite happy with this purchase. It might not be the latest model with the latest technology at mapping its cleaning path (compared to LG Roboking) but it has certainly lightened our housework load.
Although there are areas that the Roomba is not able to clean, eg: under the sofa, tv console and tight corners, it has served its purpose well. Vacuuming is still required for squeaky clean floor but at a lower frequency, perhaps once a week.
At least we come home to relatively clean floor everyday with our current cleaning cycle every 2 to 3 days. Just set it to 'Clean' mode before we leave for work and come home to clean floor.
I admit Roomba has made me even more lazy but with the current heavy workload, I am just glad that I have an extra helper. HE is even more glad as no one will be nagging at him to vacuum the floor.
More importantly, I am sure Roomba will be even more essential when construction of Cheng San Court commences.

This Tonkutsu ramen was one of the best item on menu.
The prawn and chicken tempuras are quite nice too.
Sushi spread was quite limited.
Having weekday buffet lunch which totaled up to be around $20 per pax including free flow of drinks.
But I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon...
Haiz... If you want to rear a dog, please try and take good care of it.
The howling is quite loud and it sort of echos around the quiet neighbourhood.
Every other day, i will hear this howling dog.
Reminds me of a werewolf... Too bad there is no full moon tonight.
