Brought Keven to Orchard on Sat to have a look at the xmas lightings. Landed up at Tanglin Mall as we were attacted with their cutie design. Unfortunately, our camera ran out of battery, so we end up having to rely on Dear’s handphone for the pictures. Got a pleasant surprise towards the end – SNOW! Kids were enjoying themselves with the foam while we ran as fast as our legs could carry us.

New shopping mall near to Balestier – City Square Mall. You will find restaurants almost on every floor of the shopping mall, so there is a wide variety of choices if you are looking for eating places. We went to Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant (Level 4) and their food are FABULOUS! We tried their hot and soup sichuan soup, prawn with salted egg, cold chicken, fried rice and Ja Jiang noodle, all tasted great. Note that they do not serve white rice though. Pricing is at about S$7 – S$14 per dish.

Glamour name – SIM. But no clicks, no mentor, snr mgr simply got no time to guide and brief me and having to wake up so early everyday and reach home at about same time as last job. I dont feel ‘welcome’ or useful at all. Am I better or worse off? Could be too early to tell, it’s only my 2nd day but if things continue this way where I dont learn much, may have to move on soon… Yawn. Got to sleep soon again, zombie.

Officially it was 05 Oct 2009, unofficially it is 13 Nov 2009. I have finally left my comfort zone. I thought I will be thrilled but sadness overwhelms me now. Guess it’s due to my slogging and hardwork for the last 7 (coming to 
years and having to leave all my work behind. My almost 2nd home (office), my slogging mate (laptop) and a bunch of really nice team mates… I will miss all these for a while. 18 Nov 2009 shall mark a new beginning for me. Pray hard.

Restaurant with nice ambience at the basement of Anchorvale Community Club. They also serve drinks with a pool table outside the restaurant for people to chill out. It’s actually under the same management as Jack’s Place.
Dinner is at avg price of S$13.00 – S$18.00 with top up available at S$4.20 – S$8.80 to include soup, dessert and drinks. Their specialty is in grill and BBQ stuff. I didn’t know that and ordered seafood spaghetti which I don’t find very tasty. Service is also of average standard, room for improvement. But generally quite a nice place within a neighbourhood setting.
P.S: No photo to share as I didnt have my phone w me.

New ‘toy’ for Keven. Brought him for a ride in the park downstairs and he seems to be enjoying himself. Unfortunately, the leg-rest is too short for his long leg, he has to go into a ’squad’ position in order to rest his legs on it, so he choose to stand rather than sit most of the time. Shall train him to paddle when he is slightly taller…
