Bugis again...

Choy Shen Yeh @ Bugis


I found it cute...


Chi Phiang


Pistachio


Chloe wanted to buy Chi Phiang, so we went to Fu Lo Shou Complex near Bugis. Found the Chi Phiang in one of those 'Hoi mei' shop. Saw all kinds of dried things like sea cucumber, dried abalones, all types of nuts, sour plums, sweets, herbal....... But she bought 500 grams of Chi Phiang only. And I did not buy anything since mama said she has already bought a lot. OK, 'han fan'. After that we walked to BHG. I was thinking of getting a new shirt for my dear, but then none of them attracted me, so I decided to buy it in Malaysia - Cheaper. Then we went to have Kimchi Ramen for dinner.

Catching a 8pm bus tonight. Yeah! Josephine is heading back to KL tonight. Can wait to see her boy boy, and her beloved family members. For those who are traveling back to home town, have a safe trip ya...

2 more days to go...

Lost weight... But sure will put on weight during CNY...
Look thin in this photo rite? Did not photoshop this photo, in fact I don't have Photoshop installed in my computer.




Counting days... 6,5,4,3,2
2 more days to go before I balik kampung!

I am already in holiday mood. Gong xi gong xi gong xi ni... Just can't stop thinking about celebrating CNY in KL. Can't stop thinking that I am going to have 2 Reunion Dinners! One in my house, another in my dear's house... I want to go to the temple. I want to welcome the God of Wealth. I want to eat Bak Kua, mandarin oranges, biscuits, Nian Gao, Peanuts.......

CNY checklist:-
  • New clothes - Bought quite a lot this year
  • New shoes - mom bought me a pair of sport shoes, i think i need to get a pair flats or heels
  • New Hair style - Too stingy to do rebonding. But my dear ordered Philips Hair curler + Straightener for me... Yeah!
  • Ang pao - Don't expect ang paos from me, I am not married! But I am expecting ang paos from those who are married.
  • Reunion Dinner - Hmmm, considered gao tim. Already bought Abalone, 'cong xiong dim'?
  • Gathering - I will be lonely, family members going for a short trip. My dear will be working. Maybe I should follow my family for the short trip... For those who are free, find me yum cha ok?
  • House hopping - Not going to do that lah. Feel shame. It is like begging ppl for ang paos...
  • Food - Ya, going to eat non-stop! For sure will gain at least 2 kgs...
Haiyah, Gam fei after CNY only! I am going to enjoy myself during this coming CNY! 9 days OFF! YEAH!

CNY products @ Cow, Car, Water (牛车水) a.k.a. Chinatown

Lap Cheong...
A big "Product of Malaysia" sign is being displayed in this stall. Meaning? Singaporeans do not trust China products anymore...


Kat Zai...


Handmade Decorative - Made from Ang Pao


Another handmade lantern. They also sell the 'mini pineapple' separately. $2 per one 'mini pineapple'


I forgot what is this. They are either Nuts or some fish.... from Taiwan


I love this. Jelly from Taiwan, they taste like Japanese Konniyaku Jelly.
Kinda expensive. $15 per box if I am not mistaken. Last year I bought 3 boxes for $10 - on second last day, because they want to clear the stock ma... Told u guys, don't buy now, wait till last minute...


I think this one is cheap. 5 for $6 bottles only.


Neh~ This is the 'Chee Sin' expensive Gua zi that I said in the previous post. 500 Grams $6...


Anyone know the price of a can of New Moon Abalone in Malaysia? Please inform me if you do, thanks... I need to get it from SG if it is cheaper in SG.
