Do I have a twin sister ?

I know I shdnt be watching such kiddy show every Sun (10am, Channel 8)...but I just cant helped it cuz this little girl look abit like the younger version of my sister....though she looks fleshier (slightly bigger face)...hahaha....no offence but both are bui bui cuties

Take a look at below pics and maybe you see a slight resemblance...



By the way, I already gotten my sister permission before posting her pics :P



This Little Girl frm Channel 8 show

Forbidden Kingdom

Went to watch the Forbidden Kingdom with Mrs Tootsie yest evening. It was a OK show. If really no other movie to watch it is worth to watch.


Mrs Tootsie is really cute. She laughs at the un-funniest of joke.


There was a scene where this monk say "I'll get a walking monk"


And Jackie replied "Can you get a running monk?"


And she just keep laughing and laughing.


I especially like Li Bing Bing as the White Hair Bride. White is my colour for a girl. Girls wearing all white just attracts me. And now white hair.. absolutely cool!!





Is she cool or what?!?


It reminds me of another show where this girl has white hair too. I still love her role up till today. She is Pinky Cheung and the show is my date with a vampire and her role is Wei Lai. I actually had a crush with her for that show. Everyone was watching Ma Xiao Ling but I was watching Wei Lai.

Ain't she cool with her white hair?


This show was the one which made me notice Pinky.

isn't she cute?

Free Burger

I want!

Mohan Mulani, my inspiration.

My second day of idling at home, after my last day at work last week. hehehe
As usual the first papers I picked up is LIFE Straits Times and the front cover captured my attention. I love to read articles on successful ppl and that is it ~ MOHAN MULANI (the man who met Harry's)

Till now, did I know that the bar was not related to any Harry's bar in London or New York, and none of the original owners was called Harry.

So Mohan Mulani discovered the first Harry's Bar in Boar Quay, when it first opened in 1992 which was then owned by an American expat. Being a regular patron himself, he persuaded the american expat to let him buy into the company for $300k in 1993, so that he could "get a piece of the action"

Well to get a "piece of his action" and how he become so successful, read the Lifesection on The Monday Interview larr :P

I learnt something from Mulani and that is;

* Be focused. Dont try to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. When all hell broke loose, you will have no strength.
* Pick one business and you stay really focused on it.
* Success is a by-product of passion. Be passionate!

Already going public listed, Mr Mulani has proposed to his shareholders to build a four star Harry's Hotel in the CBD area, to appeal to business travellers seeking Harry's style bars and restaurants under one roof. And also other plans like going into catering business.

We shall await for that :)

Cheers!

My god! It would be better to be abit flabby.

My god! Take alook at that!

Helo, do I look "Macho"


Do I look sexy

Woo "sexy"

I am simply disgusted by their "ugliness"

I am simply disgusted by my working colleagues...those ladies / "ah sohs", always like to take advantage of our overseas colleagues.

That period of time they are crazy over the Naraya bag from Thailand, as its cheaper to get from Thailand...so sway ...one of our Thai colleague came to SG for training, these "ah sohs" email her the design and ask if she can get for them. Of course, our poor Thai colleague can only say YES...

This time round, they are crazy over the Blue Label Burberrys bag from Japan as this brand is not found in SG. Today I just overheard one of them asking our Japan Male colleague (he is in SG for training) to get for them, if available...as this Jap colleague will be back to SG for training...

I still rem that time when my boss went to Japan for holidays, these ah sohs also buzz my boss and ask him to help them buy...too bad not one of them are available.

Why take advantage of ppl? So rich, buy an air ticket to Japan and buy the bag lar...why trouble ppl to buy for you...not heavy meh?

To be frank, I am simply disgusted by their "ugly" behaviour.

Nana (this is a good comment) : ask these ah sohs to return a favor to those overseas colleagues; ask them Singapore market have Fish /Cai Xin..they wan anot

hahahaa

Swiss Roll Me O_O

Thank you Mrs PDA for the wonderful spongy swiss roll....I think that is the best swiss roll I have ever tasted.



Look at that ...so spongy..." der-oink der-oink "

The usual and normal swiss roll coated with sugar is not as spongy as the one Mrs PDA has bought. My oh my O_O. I shall look forward to the durian flavor swiss roll from Mrs PDA
keke if you pass by that cake shop again :P (**drooling)

Here's a little story behind Rich and Good Cake Shop.

The bakery is now in its 16th year of business. Owner Lily Liu, 63, plans to pass on the shop to her children, in true heartlander fashion.



Must try Durian swiss rolls, of course. Made with real D-24 durians, you can taste the durian fibre as you bite into it.
THIS shop isn't in the heartlands, but it's still not where you'd expect to get such delicious durian swiss rolls. Customers come from the far ends of the island to buy them.

Enjoy,

Mrs Tootsie O_O

Is in Melbourne..Was in Perth..

So here I am in Melbourne. Finally.. after spending 3 days in Perth. So I've explore, brisbane, tasmania, perth, sydney and of course melbourne. I have to say Melbourne is still the place I want to be if I had to stay here.

There is no internet connect in my hotel in Perth so I had to make do with a 5 min call everyday to Mrs Tootsie. Anymore my Dad will kill me. My parents already suan me.

"Need to be so sticky one meh?"

Aiyohh.. our generation different from your generation mah.

Anyway.. We reach perth in the afternoon but by the time we reach the hotel, it was dinner time. So we spend the time searching for dinner than looking through some brochures to see which day tour we wanted. End up next day my dad didn't want to take any.


So Day 1 we went to walk in the city. Spotted a tour agency and went right in. Settled for a Wave Rock Tour and a Pinnacles Tour.

After that we just walk around the city.




And spotted this creature diving for a fish. At first I didn't know what it was. I told my mum "what is this creature? Doesnt look like a goose but can dive so long underwater. Looks like that loch ness monster leh."



End up, it was one of those duno what creature that the chinese train it to catch fish and before it swallow, they tied the neck.



"Mr Tootsie where are you going? Don't leave me alone"



"sobsob"


This is Swan Bell Tower which holds duno what bells which was given to Perth by England. The bells hold quite significant thing which I not very sure. Can't really remember what I read.





So Day 2 the start of our 1st tour.. Wave Rock..




Stop by this duno what town for tea break.





And drank at this *cough*Lan*cough*Jiao*cough* Cafe..



Before moving on to see this Dog Cemetery. You know, tourism is really a bullshit business. They can make a cock and bull story about something and make the place seems tourism-y.





Supposely someone wana buried his dog with humans in human cemetery but was reject so this rich guy donated a bit of his land to be a dog cemetery.



We came into this cave..

Where they have stories like this:

Legend of Mulka.. which talks about a illegitimate child of a aboriginal whoc kill her own mother and hide in the cave and lure people in and eats them as well. He grew to 7 over feet talk and can touch the top of his cave. So the moral of the story is.. If you wana grow tall you gotta eat your mum.

Some drawings of the aboriginies. The drawing means 1 fish and 2 moons. Suppose to walk 2 moons to the west for good fishing.

Finally the Wave Rock.. This is cool. Again.. through thousands of years of rain on this stones(limestone or granite?) until it became like that.


Cool huh?

Its +2 hours or 1+am now so I'll cut short my entry and continue tomorrow on Day 2 and 3 of Perth.


I have finally found the title of this song !!!

So nice by Christine Glass





If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
When there's only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home,
Boy, my love will get you home.

(Just for fun) What if.....the person whom you are talking to....has BAD BREATH

I mean what if.....

How would you politely tell the person whom you are talking to....that he/she has bad breath:

1) Casually ask what brand of toothpaste he use while you find an excuse saying that you thought of changing to other brands of toothpaste....

2) Ask him if he's thirsty and need a drink?

3) Pop some sweets/mints first (if you have) before offering to the person who has bad breath?

4) or Maybe just casually bring up something that you know or read from an article/mag? ....on the method of scraping your tongue...as part of the daily morning routine when brushing your teeth?

5) or Keep rubbing your nose when u talk to the person (trying to hint to him maybe that his breath errrr)...?

6) or Ask whether he has been staying up late recently as he look "tired" and suggest to him to buy "liang teh" to cool down the body heatiness (this was suggested by Mrs PDA hahaha )


Hmm these are all I can think of....but I would use option 3 as its the most polite and non-offending method. Any refreshing ideas to share?


Well actually I have used option 3 before ....popping Clorets to my mouth before offering to my friend...clumpsy as usual, I have accidentally pour out quite an amount of Clorets on her palm instead of just 1-2 pieces....she jokingly commented: I got very bad breath meh...need so many Clorets....

Laughs Mrs Tootsie

...Part 2...Little Horlick Doggies vs Little Milo Doggies

A breezy lazy saturday afternoon, I lazed at home and have the urge to bake cookies...so I tried my first attempt to bake these little milo doggy cookies that I have got the recipe from a blog. Thanks to Mrs PDA.


Before baking...






Tadah ...mmm smells good...look at these doggies...they look so alive and crunchy after crying in the oven for 30 mins ..



Judge 1 (my bro) : mmm smells nice but the taste is bland except for the crunchy ears...6/10 for taste, 7/10 for appearance. Arrggg...say bland already still continue to steal my doggies... :P

Judge 2 (mum) : not bad. 7/10 for taste, 6/10 for appearance..my mum dont quite like sweet cookies..so a PASS for these doggies.

Judge 3 (sis) : crunchy ears but abit not sweet.

Judge 4 (dad) : abit not sweet

Well I shall leave my comments open to my friends and colleagues :) and I shall improve on the recipe again to welcome dear dear who is still touring in Aust (Perth & Melb).

Colleagues comment (Mon 14th Apr):

Judge 5 (TQ & Mr L) : nice 7/10. ** Thanks to TQ, he pointed out one of my mistake which I have left out from the recipe...I forgot to put three choc chips in the dough :) like what dear dear said...I read too fast at times

Judge 6 (Ms. L L) : very nice but abit not sweet...

(that's becuz of the mistake that TQ pointed out)

Judge 7 (Ms. S.J) : out of 10 pts, u've achieve 8 pts 2 pts for improvement good try. Many thanks for sharing.

Judge 8 (Ms M) : nice 7/10 for your cookies

Hansel and Gretel


I am looking forward to watch this movie :P though the story line doesnt seem to be the same as what I have read since young from the fairy tale story of Hansel and Gretel...





It brings back my childhood memories though....I still remember I would hold a giant book with all the fairy tales stories inside and I can read many many times :)

Opps I caught the Lady Bird Virus!

I was having lunch with my usual lunch Kakis and today we decided to have a Nihon lunch at Ichiban Sushi.


One of my colleague Ms SJ ordered a tempura set.



Ms SJ: "Mrs Tootsie", do you eat Ladybird



Myself: (Abit shocked) HUH ?!? Ladybird???



At this moment, Ms SJ laughed out : Sorry sorry, its Lady Finger. Sorry ah...this morning I have been reminding my kids to bring their Ladybird story book, so this word is always in my mind...



All three of us laughed.



So I took the tempura Lady Finger from SJ and took a bite.
Just then, I blurted out fluently and naturally without realising I have caught the "ladybird virus" : hmmm nice Ladybird....



Both Ms M and SJ burst out laughing again and looked at me: LADY BIRD???!!!

Woo cute guy :)

This is cute :)

">

Have you ever wonder??

When I saw the news on the Indian baby born with two faces..




and little Lakshmi from India with 4 arms



I start to wonder why do there seems to have more deformities in babies in Asia (esp India, M'sia, Taiwan) as compared to Ang Moh countries. We asian have so much beliefs and superstitions as to what not to do before and during a pregnancy. The Ang Mohs don't have such superstitions but it seems there are less cases of such deformities. Or could it be the cases are less reported?

This actually rings a bell to me when my aunt who was carrying my little cousin during her 10 months pregnancy, she was gift wrapping for her Xmas party....in fact our granny actually nagged at her saying that she was not supposed to do such stuff (superstitious??) but my aunt din heed her advice.


so when my little cousin was born, his eyes are closed for almost a week..until a week later, his eyes opened (the doctor explained that its due to eye shit) but even when my little cousin's eyes are opened, one of his eye lid is abit slanted. Poor Little Malcolm got to undergo a plastic eye surgery to pull up his eye lid. Ouch! He will need to go thru a second op again at the age of 6. He is 3 yrs old now..


Hmm...Should we believe or not on such Chinese Beliefs and Superstitions. Even if we dont, why does such thing happen to us...u see those ang mohs...even when they dont have such beliefs, their babies are still so pinch-able and such a cutie.

omg so embarassing!

Was in the lift with this girl.. she pressed the 19th floor and I pressed the 23rd floor.

Than when 19th floor opened, I actually step out with her. Than I realised.. Oops.. wrong floor. At the moment I had to think should I just walk up the stairs or go back inside. But at that split second I thought: pretend to walk up the stairs also paiseh.. go back the lift also paiseh.. both option I also can't save my face.

So I made the decision to go back into the lift.

As I walk back into the lift, I think I saw her turning her back suspiciously looking. I bet she must be wondering: "why is this pervert following me?"

So embarassing.. Where can I hide?

Do you dare to eat this banana

My oh My.....this is disgusting....wat if his "sai" also come out...YERRRRRrrrrrr Feeling disgusting Mrs Tootsie :S

The cold joke

Its been a long time since we went out with the PDA couple. We went for Dim Sum at the Victor's Kitchen at Sunshine plaza. We order ice milk tea and today they seem to short change us. It is like 3/4 cup. If you include the ice, I think its only half cup! Anyway, the Dim Sum is ok. Not bad. I don't usually go for dim sum in Singapore but this is quite ok but not comparable to the ones I had in Melbourne. After that we did a little window shopping in Raffles City. Raffles City has changed. The middle portion has been renovated and brands like coach, bally, topman, agnes b has been added. The renovation actually made the place seems more high class, in my opinion.

Anyway, back to the cold joke..we were at Robinson and we came across some umbrellas.

The salesgirl pointed out "These umbrellas are automatic one"

Then Mrs Tootsie turned over to me and whisper "I like manual one leh."

I just keep smiling. I'm like errr.. what should I say.

Chinese courier service

Have a good luff :)

Enjoy its innovative delivery method, the Chinese way...forget about DHL, UPS or even FedEx!!! IF U DARE...

A family in the Southern Province of China, were puzzled when the coffin of their dead grandmother arrived from the States. It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was so tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space left in it! When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top; which read as follows:

"Dear Cousins, I am sending Ah-ma body to you since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in Tung Shin. Sorry, I could not come along as all of my paid leaves are consumed. You will find inside the coffin, under Ah-ma's body, 12 cans of Yohmeitsu, 10 packets of Swiss chocolates and packets of Chinatown Lap Cheong.

Please divide these among all of you. On Ah-ma's feet you will find a new pair of Nike Air shoes (size 10) for Ah boy. Also, there are 2 pairs of shoes for Ah Mei's and Ah Lien's sons. Hope the sizes are correct.

Ah-ma is wearing 6 CK T-Shirts. The large size is for Ah Bak and the others are for my nephews. Just distribute them among yourselves. The 2 new Armani Jeans that Ah-ma is wearing are for the boys.

The Rolex watch that Lee Ah Bai wanted is on Ahma's left wrist. Kiasu Aunty Pei Pei , Ahma is wearing theTiffany necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them. The 6 white Polo cotton socks that Ah ma is wearing must be divided among my teenage cousins.

Let me know what else you need as Ah Kong also not felling well nowadays. I can send all required things when our Ah Kong goes back too..."

GIGANTIC Collar Bone Fish....Yewwww

So yesterday Mr Tootsie and myself decided to redeem his krisflyer points in exchange for tickets to Bali and Hooray we are gng to Bali for 5 days in May :) I am looking forward to this trip :)


And there we were, at Fish & Co Paragon for dinner. Looking at the memu, I saw this crispy fish and though mmmm this look delicious...and so I ordered this dish (Collar Bone Fish) and Mr Tootsie ordered Seafood Platter.

Waited for almost 15-20mins....here comes our dish....I am a small eater so in fact after taking the soup, which I must say is very nice....I feel rather full..however when I see my Collar Bone Fish...I was like telling Mr Tootise, OH NO....HOW AM I GNG TO FINISH 3 GIGANTIC COLLAR BONE FISH...



THerr...u saw 2 on the pan, but there's 1 more on the other small plate cuz it looks so ugly and huge on my pan...as if I am a BIG EATER...in fact some female waitresses were looking at me....maybe they thought this dish is meant for Mr Tootsie...but WRONG!!!!


Well in fact one lady customer came in and took a glance and saw my dish...and her expression was like OH MY GOD! hahaha


Though these 3 fishes are just deep fried and basically are collar bones only, but I can only finish one while Mr Tootsie help me to finish another one. I was asking Mr Tootsie...can ta bao anot??!!


After footing our bill, Fish & Co always has this complimentary sweets that I love it alot! Cuz its mint! I am a minty girl :P
