Pasar malam at my neighbourhood

Turkish chicken kebab stall

It's pasar malam (night market) time at my neighbourhood. Toys, household products, cooked food and many others are there as in a typical night market. But this vendor selling turkish chicken kebab caught our attention. Maybe we don't frequent these places often. Margaret checked the price which is at $5 per piece and ordered one to try.

Rating: So so only and it's exorbitant.

The Great Wall of China

Smily, Margaret and Fyn at the summit of the Great Wall of China

My late father once said, 'You can only be considered a hero when you have stepped onto the Great Wall of China'. Today, I can proudly say that my family conquered and reached the summit of it in 2001. The scenery at Badaling was breathtaking. It was winter and the steps were wet. We had to be careful climbing the steps. For they were young, both kids were ahead of us. Margaret was puffed out by the time she reached the top. As Chinese, all of us felt a sense of achievement and fulfilment in the end. Long live the Great Wall of China, the pride and joy of the Chinese.

Tebrau City again?

Dr SoHo foot-treatment section at Tebrau City

Margaret, Fyn and I went to Tebrau City Johore for our monthly visit. As usual we headed to Jantzen Salon to have our hair trimmed and after which Margaret would visit Dr SoHo foot spa. We returned to Kinsahi Japanese Restaurant for lunch as the food there is value for money. For dinner, we decided to try out a Hong Kong cafe at JB City Square 2nd Storey. The food isn't good. Full stop.

Meantime, we bought a East India Company polo shirt for Patrick as he will be celebrating his birthday later this evening.

Latest: Arsenal 1-0 Man City

Arsenal missed a penalty but managed to break the stubborn Man City defence in the end. Well done!

Evening edition

My family just attended Patrick's birthday dinner celebration this evening. Also invited were my mother and my 2nd brother Roger. It was a 9 course dinner at Swee Kee Cooked Food Restaurant at Toa Payoh. Understand the boss is Kam's secondary school classmate. Anyway, Happy Birthday Patrick!

A pair of shoes for my mum

Margaret bought a pair of shoes for my mum. Yes, that's not a big deal. But it took her about 2 months to look for the right pair that fits her. It must be light, stretchable, comfortable and trendy too. Fyi, my mum is in her eighties. She is pleased after wearing and test walking with them. The joy she expressed really makes my day.

Winter holiday in South Korea

Stock Market



Singapore shares dived a few per cent for the past week. Sentinments will continue to be weak for the next few weeks. Look out, stormbringer coming!!!

Durian session

Me and Margaret had a durian session with Thomas, Patrick and their wives at Rochor a few nights ago. It cost $10 a kg for this 'cat mountain king' durians. Verdict : It's not the best we have tasted.

It was not until the last 10 minutes that they scored 2 goals. Final result : Arsenal 2 Fulham 1 What a way to start the season! Ole...ole ole ole.... ole...... ole....
