Dear met me at Jurong Point and we went Christmas shopping. The day before, I went with colleague and gotten presents for Mum and Dear's Mum.

Dear and I were awestruck by the sheer "massiveness" of Jurong point, especially when I have seen Jurong point developed from a mere single building to this great complex now lol.

Dear treated me to Dian Xiao Er. Cause I said I wasnt eating much in school then he said he will "replenish for me" -_-
But that is still so sweet of him.


"xiao er tou fu"

"ginseng duck" SOLID

"kai lan with salted fish and lime"
this is very interesting, salty and sour at the same time, refreshing

Dear and I took bus to Marina Square for the show "YESMAN" .
We had brunch at Marina Square foodcourt before the show and ordered curry noodles which I feel is one of the specialities there.

"YESMAN" is really a nice comedy but underlying those laughters are more "motivating factors" to experiencing life.
Like when you say "NO" to questions or opportunities, you are not experiencing life etc.. which is so true.. though you dont have to say "YES" to everything, open your heart to more of what life can offer to you. How can anyone live like the "old Carls"? Just TV and video store only..

I took this from CNA and I feel that his words are encouraging:

(Carrey said he hoped the film would encourage people to "engage in life". "If there is a message, it's just engage in life," he said. "You know, say 'Yes' more than you do 'No', maybe a little bit more than you did before, and life kind of turns out all right. Usually you regret the things you say no to."
It's a philosophy Carrey has tried to follow in his own life. Asked if he considered himself a "Yes Man," he replied: "I would say yes, even when I say no because sometimes saying no is saying yes to your own self worth.)

I feel so thankful for having dear who shares the same view as me.. "engaging life" hahah cheesy maybe but its true..

BUT I had one of the worst movie experience ever, marred by two couples beside us.
On one side was busy making out, the other was going hysterical shouting "oh shit" too frequently with a volume loud enough for the whole cinema to hear.

Nonetheless.. still had a good time watching.

After that, I bought more nail stickers lol then we went Carrefour for some grocery shopping and dear's mum picked us up for dinner at Kallang Leisurepark.
We had Japanese "marche style" :) then it was back to dear's place.

Morning dear woke me up at 8am -_- and we prepared to have breakfast with his family at Old Airport food centre. We had the Whitley Road Prawn Mee again. Seems like dear's family members love prawns hahaha

Then dear dropped off his sis at Bugis and the rest of us had a little excursion at Pasir Ris farmway looking at fishes, pets and I bought more pet food for Snoopi. Dear said he will bring me and snoopi to the Pet Mover's Dog Run next time. It was so cool! with so many other dogs and obstacle course and even a wading pool for pets.

After that Dear drove us to Pasis Ris' ELias Park to chill out by the sea and then it was to Yishun to look at his fishing gear.

Had Botak Jones at Yishun and I tried their MINI BOTAK BURGER which aint really mini considering it's like your usual "FIllet o fish" size. I dont dare to think how the "Normal" burger looks like.. another must try of BOTAK JONES, their JALEPENOS~
with cheese inside.

Dear dropped his family back home then fetched me back home to pick up my Mum and sis and we went Jurong Point again.
We all did alittle shopping again and I gotten more Christmas presents.
Then it was back home and Mum had prepared a 5 course dinner and not forgetting "tang yuan".

A tiring weekend but like the Macdonald commercial
"I am loving it"

MINI botak burger, meat patty is juicy, not too dry, real minced meat with no fats/tendons etc and not too burnt
