A Day as a tour guide

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

When we were kids, my sisters and I always hope that my cousins will come over to our place and play with us. We were closer to them as compared to my paternal family. We will usually be the ones who visit them in Malaysia. My maternal family is a big family that they can't really afford to make passport (300 ringgit for each) for everyone. So now those who are already working will get one for themselves.

And.......after a REALLY LONG wait, my maternal cousin, Kit Yeen and her bf, Desmond finally came to Singapore... for just ONE DAY. Haha!

Thank God! The arrangement wasn't as bad as I expected. I was so afraid that they will arrive at Woodlands or Tuas then I don't even know how to direct them. They reached Queen Street bus terminal on Sunday afternoon. Kenneth and I picked them from there and started our tour guides' day. Haha!

Seriously I don't know where to bring them... But Desmond who came to Singapore many years ago suggested us to bring my dearly cousin to see the "Durian". I was like "Huh??" Durian??... which one??... then OH! ESPLANADE!! Good, cos it's near Queen Street.



We had our lunch first, then to Esplanade, to Merlion and even Fullerton Hotel for rest and "air-con". Kit Yeen isn't really used to walking long distance cos they drive in Malaysia wherever they go. They got to see Singapore River, boat quay, clarke quay and visit Asian Civilisation Museum for free! We even went to Chinatown to buy souvenirs to bring home for friends.

Last stop ~ My parents' satay stall to have their dinner. I nearly got the chance to go JB with them but sigh... we cannot confirm the hotel's availability plus the next day, they will be leaving for home in the afternoon. So it's not really a good time. I'm quite disappointed though cos it's not easy for my dad to allow me to go JB. To him, JB is a risky place.

After dinner, we took a cab back to Queen Street and sent them off. It's really hard to enjoy in just one day. There are places I haven't got the chance to bring them. So hopefully they will come over again for a longer period if they don't mind staying in my house. :)

Lawrence and Qin Ying's Wedding

Friday, December 12, 2008

Before my trip to Malaysia, my family attended my cousin, Lawrence's wedding on 2nd November. It's really embarrassing to say that we are not close. We don't even visit or see each other during Chinese New Year, see... not even once a year. Sad right?

So when we met that day... it's like "Wow! We have all grown up!"

The wedding was held at Mandarin Oriental in a very cosy ballroom. I like the ambience, not very crowded, gave me a warm feeling. It was a lunch reception, having the tea ceremony before the lunch. I remembered it was raining that day...

Sad moment

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

You wouldn't believe this... I don't believe it either. Yesterday he was so active and playful. Vivi passed away last night. We were so shocked. I didn't expect that my first blog entry of him will turn out to his last entry. I even created an album for him at facebook. Already feel quite attached to him, now that he is gone, I feel lost. :( What a day to start with...

New Little Addition in Ho Family

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

We had a BABY RABBIT! It's from Lee Ting to Jane as a birthday gift. It's a BOY and we named him Vivi or Jane called Tutu. Well, I also don't know what's his official name.

For the past few weeks, I was so stressed over this little addition. Yes, it's cute and lovable. But once you own one, it's not as cute as you think. We got no experience of taking care of a rabbit. Jane is also puzzled why Lee Ting will buy one for her. Sad to say, it's somehow become a burden. I had to read up and search the internet to find out more about rabbits. We spent about on buying rabbit's needs. Thanks to Cindi for the cage, we saved alot on that. Cages can be quite expensive.



The first week, this little one is having runny stool. I was quite worried. Nothing serious, Vivi is actually stressed over the new environment. It's not my rabbit yet I worried too much. Haha! Then last week I think he injured his eye... not sure what happen. His eye was red and swollen. But next day, his eye got better. Now his face is "black"... cos we used newspapers as his bedding. His paws are also very black and he likes to rub his face. That is how the black face come about. It's good that he is not a white rabbit.

He has been with us for almost a month already. I believe he has adapted to our environment and we are also used to having him. No more runny stool or injured eye. Now he is really active and very greedy. He likes his daily food but not his hay. This is the only thing I'm still worried.

Family Dinner @ Jumbo

Friday, October 17, 2008

Joawen treated the whole family for dinner on Tuesday. Because mum has to cook for Di Kor and sends to hospital on weekdays, we didn't have the time to gather and had dinner together. We had seafood dinner @ Jumbo (East Coast Seafood Centre). We ordered two crabs (both cook diferently ~ chilli and creamy), scallop yam rings, sambal kang kong, Jumbo's signature tofu and fried hongkong noodles.





I realised I always love to blog on food. Judging on my size (more on the plump side), I love food and love to eat. I love to buy sweet snacks, chocolates, cakes, kueh and many more. Usually got nagging from my mum... cos sometimes we cannot finish the titbits and snacks. So wasteful. I really spent alot on food. How to cut down? Too much temptations. Hee!

Di Kor's Birthday

Thursday, October 16, 2008

I know a number of October babies... there are my Di Kor, my sister ~ Jane, my Baby, Ah Dan, Yali and Ci Hui.

I still remembered we celebrated Di Kor's birthday last year at Quentin's ~ an Eurasian Resturant. Anyway the resturant is no longer located along East Coast Road. Time flies faster each time I grow older.

This year, it's different. Due to Di Kor's health condition, she suffered stroke and was admitted to hospital in July. She is still in hospital, going through rehabilitation sessions everydays and gaining her confidence back day by day.

To me, Di Kor is always a strong and independent woman. She loves sport alot and execrise regularly. Now she is learning to walk and moving her left hand. Everyday she never fails to show us her improvements. We were very happy for her. She will be discharge soon. Things will sure be different in hospital and at home. We also hired a maid for her. Do pray for her. Thank you.

And yes, we had a mini makan session with her at the hospital. This is all she wanted. She doesn't want cake and presents. So Jane, Baby and I went to buy KFC and Pizza. Joawen bought sparkling juice and drinks and Uncle William bought some NICE nonya kuehs.

Di Kor, did you enjoy? :) Take care!
