i love daiso

One grouse.. why is Daiso so damn far away from civilization?!? Haha, IMM for me is quite far la.. since not accessible directly via MRT. Hmm.. the one in Plaza Singapura is too small... so that's left with one in Vivo. Maybe I shall try that next time.

Anyway, yesterday went to the one in IMM. Bought the plastic rack and tray for placing the dishes after washing ('coz my place doesn't have that!), also added in one to hold the spoons and chopsticks and what not. Then bought a table cloth (more like PVC version). Each for $2 only. Wahahhaha!

Just the other day I was at Great World City. And there's this lifestyle shop that was having a promotional sale. Stylo-milo and very expensive! Designer-ware. The placemats that they had were quite cool.. but all costs something like above $10 per piece.

One day if I ever strike lottery, maybe can buy a house to decorate... heh heh.. probably only 1 room can have designer-ware and the rest of the spaces.... Daiso furnished. Hah!

masak-masak

I have always wondered how does a lemon merringue pie taste like ever since I saw one Donald Duck comic and in it, they had lemon merringue pie. Heh, my childhood stuffs. So Gina graciously baked some (after like 1000 times of pestering her).

The taste is not quite like what I imagined it to be though...

Gina had also prepared some dough 'coz she wants to bake some buns. Obviously, I also want to join in the fun and made funny shaped buns!

Heh, Gina.. maybe I should upload the video too! ;P

ugly duckling

a sole duckling amongst a pack of chicks...


closer view of the elusive duckling


Apparently these birds are reared by the Bangladeshi workers behind my house back home in Kajang. The chicks and the duckling are kinda cute when they come round the house. But everytime I ran to get my camera, they'll run off so quickly! But of course, probably I was slow la...

what sense of direction?

It has been proven, once again! I definitely have NO sense of direction!

My colleague wanted to send me home after Ade's baby shower since my house is nearby. By right la.. it is supposed to be nearby. Because I am coming back from an unfamiliar place (never took cab from Ade's place back to my new home mah...), so I can't possibly tell the bus route. But we trust SG's road signage and manage to get to Yew Tee, but thereafter, we went circling looking for my flat.

To cut story short, finally came to the familiar road so I said, "Ah, can stop me at the bus stop." Because indeed my house is behind a bus stop. So I got off, said my byebyes. And then I looked at the block. Hey, it doesn't look familiar. Faintz... I actually asked to be dropped off at the WRONG bus stop. My house is at the NEXT bus stop. Ha... ha...

i've moved!

Yup, it has become a yearly exodus. Oh, how I wish it wasn't so...
Haha, lamenting the fact that moving house every year depletes your energy and your money!

Anar... because owner say wanna raise $50 per month, we decided to MOVE! But then, move house so easy meh... must call movers (have to since now got washing machine, 1 single bed and 1 PC table + about 20 medium sized boxes). So movers cost $320, take taxi to new place is $20. Pay agent's fee is $820 (got GST siah). So all in all... bo hua also lo.

New place considered not bad already, spacious and at least now have wardrobes and a storeroom! Something that was sorely lacking previously. But then, I got an icky toilet. Hardcore yellow stain.. Don't ask. I scrubbed as much as I can but can't really bring myself (nor my bum) to touch its bare surface. So I got a new toilet seat (those PVC kind), that costs $8. Now I can really 'rest' in peace...

And so I thought.. toilet water tank.. leaking water siah... Problem liao liao.
