Good Weekend!

17 April

Went to the airport in the morning to pick up Yanti. Informed her to get mum's room ready as mum would also be back. Have also bought her (Yanti), new mattress, comforter and pillow. She has worked for my family for a few years and its time to get her a new set.

Mum discharged from GH today and was back home before noon. At least, with the maid, there is someone to keep her accompanied. Honestly, without Yanti, its going to be a big problem taking care of mum, even with a new maid!

Was to meet up with Nic for dinner. Nic would be going to Kuantan to work and decided to catch up first. Managed to get Alan Gerald and Raymond to join in. Dinner was at Crystal Jade @ Toa Payoh. The restaurant serves steamboat after 8pm. After waiting for a while, we finally got our table.

There were lots to eat! We have many balls - fish, prawn, pork, squid and beef, wanton, meats slices, lots of mushroom, tofu, and even live prawns! The prawns were still alive...before they got into the hot stock...... Raymond reckoned that it was so cruel...but he also commented that the prawns were simply delicious!

Glad to have met up with Nic and his friend! Certainly wish them all the best in their new endeavours!

18 April

Was to catch up with Nelson and Alwin for lunch. Nelson said that they would be in SG and have suggested to catch up for lunch. It''s been a long time since Nelson was last in SG! He finally got his passport done! Hahahahahaha!

Tim Sum lunch at East Ocean restaurant. It's been a long time last I was last there. The queue was long, even with reservation, but we finally got our table. The tim sum was quite good.... cannot say much about the soup (lotus root with pork), though! It was quite expensive but for my god brother, it's definitely worth it!

After lunch, we went over to ICON to have desserts (香港茶餐厅). The desserts were delicious!

From Orchard, we went over to Chinatown where Nelson and Alwin picked up some stuff at the wholesale place - swanson..got some perfume stuff at a good deal...also some skin care items! Then to Vivocity to take a look at the Mall. Managed to grab some snacks at the basement where there 's lots of eateries.

Decided to show them Marina Barrage and managed to find our way there. Due to threatening sky, we could not get up to the top to see the view. It was a pity. Still, Nelson managed to get some nice pictures ...

Dinner was at the popular Fish Head steamboat place at Jalan Sultan. We ordered the famous fish head steamboat, sambal sweet potato leaves, prawn omelette, 南乳花肉 and 虾酱鸡翅！It was a good meal! It was good because Alwin treated us! Hahahahaha!

They drove Raymond back to the East, alighted me at Queensway, making their back back to JB!

It was really great catching up with them in Singapore! Have always hope to see them here and finally got the chance to play host to them! Thanks for making the trip!

Know that the special someone is having steamboat with his good friends........ wish I could be there too!
