Another exciting weekend

I had another exciting weekend.  On Saturday, K and I went car testing and shopping again.. I saw this interesting car at one of the dealer showrooms and thought i should put it on my blog cause it's just so cool.. Even the insides of the car are decked out in leather design that's so "LV" inspired.. I can't help but wonder what kind of person the owner is.. = )






B and J came over in the evening for mahjong.. J was late, so the 3 of us headed to Kembangan for dinner first.  We had delicious pig liver mee sua, yummy pork floss beancurd and a thick piece of fish otah.  We finally started our mahjong session around 8plus, and played until about 12 midnight.  B crashed over at our place, cause we had planned to go to JB for breakfast the next morning..

On Sunday morning, the 4 of us (K, B, J and me) left for JB around 730am for my favourite bak kut teh.. This time round, i had my fill cause there were less people, and i could order what i wanted.. We even bought our own you tiao cause the one that they served isn't as fresh. = )  After breakfast, the 4 of us went shopping at GIANT.  K and I bought plenty of fruits: Watermelon, coconut, jackfruits and grapes!  We wanted to buy some Vitagen too, cause it's much cheaper there, but to my surprise, Vitagen was completely out of stock.  On the shelves instead were all the Yakults, and a little booth with a sales promoter promoting Yakult.. Hmmm.. stupid Yakult must have bribed GIANT to carry only their drinks and force my Vitagen out of shelf space!

We had lunch after GIANT, at this chinese restaurant that J recommended.  We had bittergourd soup, dou miao, cod fish, and chicken.  Food was so so.. but i especially like the "Yuan Yang" cod fish, cause the dish is prepared such that there are 2 pieces of cod fish, one steamed and one pan fried.  Thought that was pretty
interesting..


After our hearty lunch, we headed back to Singapore, pumping petrol and washing the car before we hit the causeway.  We were lucky to sail pass without any traffic jams, and was in Singapore by 2pm. 

Before heading home, K and I took J and B for a ride to Takashimaya to buy our baby cot.  It was the natural wood 4-in-1 cot bed by Roccio, that allows the cot to be converted into a single junior bed up to 6-7 years old.  Good investment.  Even comes with free bedding, pillows and bolster.



We finally headed home at around 3pm, dropping J and B off at their homes before hurrying back ourselves.  We had one hour before we had to rush to Indoor Stadium to catch a live basketball game at 4pm.

It was Singapore vs. Brunei for the Asian Basketball League (ABL) game.. Turnout was pretty pathetic, so i am not surprised professional basketball is still not a big thing in Singapore.  How good can the players get if they are not being paid well?? 

Nonetheless, i enjoyed myself thoroughly.  I think baby did too, cause she kicked and moved a lot during the game.  I guessed it's been a long time since she heard so much cheering and clapping. = )

Singapore won the game, so it was a home victory.  Next Sunday will be Singapore vs. Philippines.  Critics have predicted the Filipinos to be the ABL champion this year, and more than 3000 Filipinos to turn up for next Sunday's game, so i'm sure it will be even more exciting!
