  31 Oct 09, 06:24

  got a call on wed that the doc summoned all my family members to the hos.  i  booked the next flight out same day.  can u imagine leaving toronto on wed and only arriving in sg on friday?  wah lau eh.....gruelling hours inflight leh.  sit until ka chng tia also.

  anyways, i have arrived in sg.....was shocked to see the crowds....and pretty hot, after enjoying fabulours fall weather conditions in the teens and now being greeted with the heat here.

  okay, guess what i ate first?.................anybody?............give me 1, give me 2, give me 3..............give up?  okay, the answer is (are) :

   

   

   

   

   

   

  1. popiah

  2. indian rojak

  3. jiu hu eng chye

  4. sugar cane with lime drink

  i felt queasy after eating tho'.  stomach too clean liao?

  aiyoh, the effects of international dateline travel.  i succumbed to jetlag at about 7ish pm.  woke up at 10ish pm.  went back to bed at 11ish pm, and now up at 4ish am.  wanna go back to sleep but can't, so here i am....writing this.

  so, what's next?  what shall i conquer at the hawker centre?  my fav local flare is char kway teow?  where to eat?

  end of day 1 i sg......conclusion : beri hot, thank goodness for air conditioning. :)

  I'm confused. Are you in SG to attend to a sick family member, or to eat? Or both?

  Welcome back to Singapore!

  Sorry for the reasoning that you have to do the flight.

  Avoid the peranakan restaurant at Vivo City but do check out the Japanese store 'Daiso'.  Its a $2/- shop and their stuff to fill lunch boxes is really good value and interesting.

  And oh....get some sunlight on you or at least a foot massage to stabalise your body system.

  how about lavender road wanton noodle or the kitchener road chinese kambing soup. What about race course road bak kut teh or the the muthu curry fishhead? There's this Thomson Rd prata store and the Hainan Street chicken rice too.

  thanks 7-11.......it felt kinda strange.  it's been EXACTLY 3 years  since i stepped soil.

  oh yah?  okay, we are going to have seafood on sunday, i'll watch for it.  no, not yet.  CKT is my most fav local/hawker food.  i wan the best 'cos i ain't going to eat twice eh?  i'm just going to have a taste of everything like once ar bo i will need a new wardrobe.  kekekeke.....  sotong mee?  hmm....i disklike sotong.

  wanton noodles?  hmm....we have the hkg style in toronto.  i may skip that.  BKT is not my fav 'cos i am not a meat person.  alamak...i sound kinda picky eh?  sorry. :P  but i must add i am not a fish head person. kakakaka.....
