Mmmm, i'm horrible! I woke up at 6pm! This is what i get for making up for lost sleep during the weekdays. Ahaha. :DMy mom's birthday is tomorrow. Since it coincides with the reunion dinner, we're celebrating it earlier. And yep, it's a Chinese restaurant because she only likes Chinese food. We went to Dian Xiao Er at Causeway Point.
We had the yu sheng, Mongolian pork ribs and some vegetables. I'm not fond of pork ribs and i definitely don't like sweet and sour food. Still, the only food i throw off my plate are celery and meat fats. So yea, i forced myself to eat the ribs. Lol. ;/
After a bit of shopping around, my parents couldn't get what they need so we had to go down to Khatib.My dad and i were grumbling about the lack of atmosphere. The biggest reason is probably the recession. When we were walking past some quiet HDB blocks in Khatib, i told my parents if i were a resident there, i would have deliberately blasted noisy Chinese New Year songs just to break the monotony. Heh!
I haven't been to Khatib for years after moving out nearly a decade ago. The place has changed so much. I miss the markets and neighbourhood atmosphere. It's a stark contrast from my serene Sembawang.
Went to the Sheng Siong supermarket there. They had a large variety of seafood. Tanks after tanks of live fishes. There were live prawns being scooped onto the iced display (ok lah, i know they were dying there) and jumping off the ice and onto the floor. And woohoo, the huge crab on your left! :D
Like i said, it's a huge variety!
Fishieeeeeeeeeeeees!
I was fascinated by the way the innards are sold. Just bag whatever you like and have it weighed. My mom was like, why do you want to take a photo of such disgusting things? LOL. I can see hearts, livers, intestines etc being sold in that photo. Urrgh.
A outskirts of the Khatib neighbourhood. It's only lively on the inside.
My parents bought me this wallet at Metro while we were at Causeway Point despite my saying that my current one was perfectly ok. What's wrong with using a $10 hot metallic pink wallet?! D:
I had a strap made for my PSP. Shiny red and personalised. :)
