I always wanted to go Hong Kong via cruise because the piers are really happening, I always wanted to go Hainan Island because I myself is a Hainanese, I always wanted to visit Ho Chi Minh and Danang (Vietnam) because I have never been there before.

Hmm, Ben is not in town and tonight, M & D went to WaRaku. Sorry for the lousy photos, it was way too dim to take good one.Service is bad, nothing to rave about. Maybe because it was only 2 of us, the seating is pathetic, don't think I'll come back to this outlet at Heeran, still prefer the one at The Central and now, regret for not ordering their pasta..With this charges, I was expecting the

Given 3rd dose of Dora yesterday.Ever since we started s/c Dora, I noticed that Twistie is getting more and more timid and requires someone to be with him 24/7. It becomes a problem for us as we do need to leave a house at time, for a 2 hours lunch and of course, approx. 8 hours when both of us need to work during the weekdays. Twistie becomes nervous easily and he drools a lot as well, not when

As expected, these guys went for Japanese food and Ben shared with me about the dish he ordered today, Oyakodon 親子丼.When comes to "don", everyone knows it has to be a bowl of rice but what is "oyako"? Katsuki said it means "parents"or "親".See the egg? It represents the child and the chicken

for outerwear.... When we went to Shanghai during winter seasons, we didn't bother to check out the types of outerwear in the market. We got only a coat and down jacket as we were told to. This time round, we were told there is no need to prepare a down or thick heavy coat but a stylish outerwear so we headed down to the city today to get them. Most boutiques are displaying fall/winter outerwear

Out of curiosity, I asked Kasey about Twistie's age. Frankly speaking, I was a little bit upset when Kasey told me Twistie is estimated to be 9 years old(human age), so if you calculate, he is 63 years old - more health problems as ageing. Sigh. In

When parents are not around, we have to eat out at either restaurant or food court but tonight, Margaret suggested to cook pasta. As mentioned, I am already 3/4 dead after work, how to cook pasta? Our Pasta with Bacon & Asparatus -First, cook Thai asparatus in boiling water for 5 minutes.-At the same time, cook the pasta in boiling water for 6 minutes.-Heat the wok/pan, add chopped garlic into 3

I still remember wishing all nurses " Happy Nurses' Day " on the 1st August. I was at home and this year was the first year for not celebrating it with my fellow colleagues, because I've resigned in Nov 07. I thought I was left out...until Sister Lee says," Diana, this is for you. I've kept it since Nurses' Day, been wanting to pass you this pouch but I kept forgetting."It was only a pouch to her

"Honey, can I hire a part time maid?" "Of course you can, baby!" Please do not scold me for intending to hire a part time maid because I am also working part-time currently. You know, after a week in the clinc (9am-6pm), I kinda regret. Why did I promise Sister Lee that I will be there for 4 months? 3 months, to be exact as I will be away from mid Nov till mid Dec. I should have told her I can't

I remember promising my readers to post my "72kg look" photos once my site traffic hits 5k, I know it hits 20k now but I just couldn't find my photos... because I (am very sure I)didn't even dare to take photo in that year. BUT, not to disappoint all my loyal readers (who keen to know how fat I was in the past)... I found 2 photos... very gross, worst than those photos I posted last year. STAY

Of course, I will be the one cooking. Ben was very kind to accompany me to do some marketing at Cold Storage and NTUC as he knew I can never carry all the bags on my own.

"Instead of normal polishing, we send them for deep polishing and it will be 90% new but then again, it will still be oxide and you must wrap them up with tissue paper before keeping them individually in their pouch." Damn, Ben is paying $60 for polishing these 3 pieces and polishing used to be FOC, yeah, 3 years ago? No way, I got my bean in year 2006 and another one in year 2007. Bullshit!

Okay, no more delay. After Ben assured me that he is feeling much better and wanna go out for brunch, we hopped onto a cab at 1040am and we were the first customer who paid at their newly opened branch at The Heeran.

Each doll imparts her own life message and has her own personality. There is also a hole in the base of each Momiji contains paper for your own secret message. Interesting, right?

The pain was unbearable and I hate that feeling. Thank god I didn't throw out. SSN Chua immediately got me panadol and my pain score went from 8-6. I took a cab home eventually. Ben quickly rushed home with dinner and he fed me with piriton. Yeah, that's the only sedative I have with me. Don't worry, it is a super mild sedative but good enough to terminate the pain -sleep.

And one more thing I admire the most - they speak very good English!

This is the first time I am paying the renewal fee for my practising certificate 2009because I am no longer working under any institute/hospital. Without it, I can't practise as a nurse and if I don't renew it, it will be invalid after a while and to get the license activated, I need to go for a 4-6 months programme. *which silly will do this?*Ok, I am goin' to write my cheque soon.

Sister Lee called me at my mobile asking me if I am willing to go back to her clinic to work for 16/52. Yeah, another short assignment. I thought of resting a week or so before starting and she is quite flexible and said I can come back anytime I want. Hmm... how?

Suddenly, there was sound coming from the roof, I mean from the ceiling. *something is walking* and my mind went wild *something is crawling!* I quickly got up off my chair and walked towards the door.

The main reason why we were here. Ben was from Yuk Choy High before he came to NUS.
