    Le Le Pot

    Recommended by Joyce and Nick, we decided to try out this laksa steamboat at Tiong Bahru. It’s easy to locate the place but parking needs a bit of waiting.

    The ingredients are very fresh. The shop offers 6 different soup base, laksa is a must try and if you are bold enough, can try the coconut chrysanthemum soup.

    大中国年糕

    Every year, our family will buy this 年糕 from 大中国 along Bukit Pasoh Rd in Chinatown district.

    Before you start to think what is the big deal, I have to first say we eat the 年糕 as it is. I know a lot of people eat it fried with egg. If that is the case, any 年糕 will do cos once fried there isn’t much difference le.

    This is how we eat it!

    大中国饼家 is one of the oldest shop selling all the specialities for CNY, Mid-autumn, etc..

    Check out the shop for yourself. I’m sure you will find something you like.

    Year of Tiger

    I was born in 1974, that means I am 36 years old now. Maybe because I was born in the year of Tiger, I really think Tiger is one of the most awesome animal. Handsome and majestic!

    36 years is a short time. Cos I feel I have just started in my life.

    Today is my birthday. Thank you everyone for the well wishes and gifts. I thank God for all of you and really appreciate all your friendships.

    But the person I want to thank most is my wife. She has been my supporter and friend all the time. Everything I am able to do now is because she has been there for me always. When I am down, she is there to silently help me up. When I am happy, she will be doubly happy for me. You are the best!

    Love you Dear! 2011 will be BETTER!

    Buckaroo Restaurant

    I can’t remember who recommended this restaurant to us, but since the first time we have been there, it has become one of my favourite!

    It is situated at Andrew Ave near Sembawang Beach. Not an easy place to find but very worth the try.

    IMG_3702

    The deco is not too elaborate, but just gives the warm feeling of a home. Probably because the restaurant is just among houses and the staff are very polite.

    They have a few good beers and this is my choice, Erdinger-White.

    A must try chicken wings at Buckaroo. Just 6 of them will be good enough as a normal meal.

    IMG_3716

    Our ‘must order’ Greenhouse Salad. Superb! Huge portion and filled with all sorts of veggie and fruit.

    IMG_3715

    If you like soup with bread, try this. Either Mushroom Soup or Clam Chowder, both are equally nice. As you can see, it’s Joey’s favourite.

    IMG_3714

    The portions are generally big, if you are a small eater, can order a main and share. But the sides are not to be missed.. Yummy!

    UP Retreat @ Bintan Lagoon Resort

    Truly blessed to be part of this amazing retreat! From the planning committee to the details of rooming, everything was superb! A really BIG CLAP to the all who made it possible!

    IMG_2796

    A total of more than 200 staff and spouses, children and workers were present. For such a crowd, we were able to charter a ferry just for us. Cool!

    The room we had was fantastic! Totally exceeded our expectations..

    IMG_2811

    There was a tatami style bed by the windows, this is where Joey and me slept. It was just slightly smaller than the double bed you see in the photo above.

    IMG_2815

    The bathroom was okay, clean with a bathtub, obviously the girls loved it. Jayne didn’t want to leave the tub most of the time.

    Balcony. Klessis’s favourite. And the view was great.

    Bintan is really a very relaxed place. The greens just creates that feel good feeling.

    The sessions with Pastor Kong were the best of the 3D2N stay. It was a time of refreshing and strengthening. Nothing beats that!

    IMG_2807

    This has to be the best Retreat I had in a long long time. Hopefully I won’t have to wait so long again before we have the next one.

    UP! UP! And Away!

    On Hari Raya Haji

    Have I mentioned this before? I am really blessed to have this group of very close friends whom I always am very happy to spend time with them. Regardless of what we do or where we go, we had tremendous fun. Thanks for the fun!

    Took some random photos before dinner. The place is China Square.

    Feel by Jeffry Lim (from EdwardFoo.com)

    I can't help but re-blog this entry from my cousin's blog (sorry Edward, didn’t get your permission first).

    It doesn't matter if you like photography or not, these pictures are simply awesome!

    I know all the shots have been edited before. But the real amazement is how did Jeffry managed to capture those moments. I truly understand what it means when people say every photo tells a story!

    Just one of the few photos to entice you.

    You won't regret spending a few minutes looking thru it. Just click on the following links.
