long weekend no long enough

....the last long weekend has passed....sad....our next PH is in Aug...and i think its not long wkend.
it was a nice easy weekend but too bad i nearly caught the flu. started on thurs...already sneezing whole day and felt weak but still nie nie go for yoga class. its like that once you paid up for something, u tend to want to make yr money's worth. end up did half hearted yoga in class. waste time:(

Fri- Vesak day! lots of interesting Vesak day activities at various temples...wanted to go to one in Aljunied where their had a Nepal fair....but weather started looking gloomy and didnt go out cuz scared rain. still feeling weak and ended up sleeping 6 hrs in afternoon.

Sat - woke up and still not feeling too good. sore throat and cough......drats got ktv later....luckily cleared up. a bit worried that i booked expensive ktv....dunno why i decided on Party World instead of K-box...guess i wanted a change......ended up fren got discount coupon. so happy for that! funny thing is that there was a black out at the KTV...first time encouter this. mgt only gave a measly 30mins more. but overall experience ok lah......sound system i think better than k box. only thing i dun understand why KTV toilets never clean!? this is a big mystery.
later when to Food Republic in Wisma......this is really one of the better food courts around. its clean and has a nice concept, the food is pretty alright too...BUT...yup...all these comes with a higher price tag. i was craving for something soupy and also the korean food there. heck about the throat, i wanted the spicy soup. while waiting for the rest to order, i also got "sucked" into buying snacks from the travelling vendors, they had this dim sum girl going around with a trolley and indian guy walking around selling papadum. end up buying 2 baskets of dim sum at $3 each and the papadum. later also bought a ribena drink at $1.80 and barley/ginko dessert at $2. ...all in all $17.80 at the food court! ....ok...lah, i guess feel good can already.
wanted to also buy the famous fried hokkien sotong mee wrapped in leaf....but queue is too long. my fren who just came back from HK, naturally had some craving for wanton mee and they had the HK type selling too.....$4.50for the noodles....and the seller asked "xiao mei, yao bu yao jia char siew?"...she happily said "yes!".....ended up $2 extra! haha...she couldnt stop grumbling.

stayed there until 10pm...and then moved on to cineleisure for coffee. one fren who now worked with a record co joined us. she brings pple like A-Do and JJ around.....asked her who is the handsomest singer she has seen, and really wanted to faint with her answer!! it was A-do! siow. anyway, maybe becuz its her artiste. say he is very generous and chin chai. hmmm....

Sun - Mother's Day! that time of the year again...although everyone says its commercialised but still mums will be mums...they wanna be pampered on this day. if give ang pow lagi better.
brought my mum to eat the nasi padang at Rendevous....long long time never eat there .....yummy. i guess they hold secret recipies. u will end up eating lots of rice here cuz the curry is so good. after that watched Mi3 at the newly revamped Cathay. sound system and seats are excellent. movie so so..ok lah quite entertaining. there wasnt much plot actually. but nice to see it filmed in Rome and Shanghai. mum said tom cruise is very handsome and charming when he smiles. the new cathay building is quite nice, exterior a bit plain though...but hrd its done by famous japanese architect. same one who did Vivo city at world trade centre.

for dinner, went to my dad's fave part of spore - race course rd area to eat at a coffee shop. this coffee shop got a china store selling Guo Die and china noodles. the guodie was excellent! the meat not very oily and skin very thin and crispy. not starchy at all. there is also a white rojak store. they dun use prawn paste but rather malt sugar (mai ya tang) to make the sauce, so it ends up light and refreshing. prawn noodle store also not bad. generous with pork ribs, prawns and got thick soup.

Monday....ahh . NO MOOD TO WORK. took mc....was feeling real bad in the morning. body was aching and felt feverish. went to Dover clinic....nice feeling to walk around on a weakday ....everything is so peaceful and quiet. ate soup fish ball kuey tiao at one of the coffee shops. $2 only, one big bowl! so cheap man......only can find in this type of old estate. definitely taste better than any foodcourt.

and thats the end of the long weekend......
