This Is Jesse

  

Jesse. ChiChi's brother. He had grown so much. Three months ago, he was sooooooo sticky to his dad. But now, he is a bird set free. Playful and talkative.

Comfort Food

 
  

Lim Joo Hin. Teochew porridge at Havelock Road. 'The braised duck tasted like the days of old'. It was as good as we had when we were young kids. You can taste the caramel and fragrance of good quality dark soy sauce. The Teochews are known for their 'clear' dishes. Minimal oil. Teochew porridge warms the soul.

For those overseas. Yearning for a good meal?

You Light Up My Life II

  

You Light Up My Life

  

ChiChi. Jireh and Joram's cousin. Jonathan's sister. Francis' daughter. My niece. This would give you an idea who she is.

Warm. Fun. Loveable.

Die Die Must Try - But Cannot Find

Got this outside Far East Square. Reminded me of my Block 13 days where I clearly recalled a man from Block 13 selling a creamy terigu dessert. He peddled his dessert like the man you see here. Though not in this custume as this was probably from the 1950s.

Till date, I had never been able to find a terigu dessert that good.

Ah So's Goal

  

Even Ah So wants a slice of the Germany World Cup 2006. Chocolate World Cup 2006 cake from Spinelli. Great with the Americano. Ah So watches football with Leonard and only stays through when there are goals.

What a day at Spinelli. Courtesy of Elsie. Ernie was lamenting that World Cup is over for him. England and Brazil are out of the game. What a shame. No more sleepless nights.

Brazil is out. No more samba football. Out goes my Converse green and yellow polo T.

Stupid Game

"Ernie. Gilbert here. We are coming over for the Germany and Argentina game. Will you be back by 11:00 pm. Ok. See you then".

What a lull! Lifeless game. Had been looking forward to an exciting game but it is a letdown.

The host is making coffee for Andrew and Joram. I had mine. Andrew is reading a book and Joram somewhere talking to Jeslin.

Second half better be good. Cos tomorrow is England's game.

Yawn.

Picasa

You asked for it. Yes. I use Picasa to manage my pictures. For each assignment, about three to four hundred pictures were taken. This is the beauty of a digital camera. With no film, you can go on and on. The only limitations are battery life and memory.

Picasa is a great freebie. Manages your images with a breeze and comes will features to fine tune the pictures. The people at Google did a good job with Picasa and I can't wait for the next release.

Scroll down to the end and you will find a link Organize and share photos with friends. Google's photo organizer to download Picasa. Give it a try. I'm sure, it will make digital photography enjoyable.

Earth is Sick

25 million. Number of full-grown poplar and birch trees felled in China in order to produce 45 billion pair of chopsticks a year. TIME April 3, 2006

Earth caught a cold
No antibotics can cure
Soon and very soon
Earth will break down
Global warming
Earth is feeling the heat









Let's do our part.
. Stop using disposal chopsticks.
Turn off the light when not in use.
. Turn off electrical appliances when not in use.
. Use the fan instead of the airconditioner.
. Don't stay in the shower for too long.

Save Earth for the next generation.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.-

I Can Smell The Flowers

  

Not really.

The aroma of freshly baked bread filled my senses as the escalator brought me down to Tampines B1. Seeing Four Leaves' bakers pulling the racks out of the oven brought joy to my heart as I savoured their works. Competiting for my attention was Famous Amos. The chocolate chip. I missed the smell. Free smell of Famous Amos.

A week had passed since my nose surgery and nose is starting to work. Had not been able to smell for a long long while. And this is going to be new adventure rediscovering all the fragrances and aroma.

Went to MOS Burger for lunch and had to walk pass the smoking zone before entering the restaurant. Yes! the smoke was awful. The good and the bad of getting the sense back. But the good news is that come 1 July 2006. New non smoking zone law in food courts, centres and coffee shops come into act.

Long Live Non Smokers.

World Cup Coverage Bullshit

  

You can't sleep and you can't watch. Without StarHub World Cup cable TV, sleepless nights were nightmares. You know that Brazil, France and Germany were playing and yet you can't get into the action.

What an irony where the national TV channels don't carry the matches. And yet on their advertisements, they were shouting that they are providing

C O M P R E H E N S I V E C O V E R A G E!

What a claim!

Households pay TV licenses and yet they don't get the telecasts (except four matches). Tiger Beers, MacDonald, Adidas, Puma, where are you when the sponsorship were required? Or was it Fifa? Or is it me looking for a cheap deal?

Happy Birthday Lady

  

Oh my gosh. Twenty-one years had gone by. Happy Birthday Phebe!. It was like yesterday that we were carrying you in our arms. Wishing you everything beautiful and nice.

It was great to see you back in Singapore. How time flies. Now you are pursing an education in US, and soon you will be working and settling down. Looks like everything has been planned out for you. Keep trusting, the Lord will grant you the desires of your heart.

Today, we are celebrating Kiara's Birthday. In another twenty-years time .............

Girl of The Year

  

This lady is camera friendly.
Anytime. Anywhere.
Really really camera friendly.

Boy of The Year?

  

Always smiling and playful. Boy of few words. Just like the dad?
Always singing and dancing. Boy of talents. Just like the dad.
