Sunday = Family day. K and I had breakfast with my parents in law and K's grandma at Chinatown this morning. The plan was for my to buy some ingredients at the wet market for the BBQ party at K's auntie's condo tonight.
We had chwee kueh, chee cheong fun, fish porridge, you tiao and soya bean milk. How i miss the you tiao here! K and I had such a hard time looking for you tiao while we were in NZ..
The wet market shopping wasn't too appealing for me. We walked around the various stalls selling live and dead fish, meat, live frogs and crabs in cages.. it was lively, but i didn't really like it. Plus, the smell kinda makes me wanna puke.
After our little adventure in Chinatown, K & I headed home and took a nap. This was followed by lunch at my parents' place. Mom had cooked black chicken soup and fried bee hoon for lunch. Not forgetting the various accompaniments for the fried bee hoon such as fish cake, prawn balls and tofu cakes..
We hung around at my parents' place and chit chatted till about 4plus before heading to K's auntie's condo for the BBQ. To me, the BBQ was quite a failure.. Firstly, the BBQ started too late, so when everyone arrived, the food was not cooked yet and there was a long wait. Secondly, the food wasn't too nice. And there were no curry or fried bee hoon, which usually comes with a BBQ.. = )
Anyway, we played Taboo again with the cousins after we have had enough food. That was when i got my daily dosage of laughter. The family also went up to the condo to tour the place. It was huge, about 2000 sq meters i think, but K and I didn't like it. We feel the bedrooms and kitchen are both too small. Whereas the living and dining is too big. Plus, the place had no privacy at all cause the blocks were so close to each other that we can watch the TV of this unit in the block next to us! To me, the kitchen and bedroom is the most important in a home, cause that's where we spend the most time in. But nowadays, the condos and HDB flats seem to emphasize on big living and dining rooms. I guess some people prefer to have more "face" with a big living room to entertain their friends and relatives.. I rather have a big bedroom and kitchen for myself.. = )
