Rifle and stuffs

so hubby and I went to Science Centre for the Defense TechX exhibition. We played with the SAR 21 rifle in a tactical game. The rifle is heavy, we aimed through the scope and shoot. Only hubby is wearing the vest, so when he is shot, the red light in the vest will be lighted. But since I am an immunity, they can't shoot me cos I got no vest, I get to shoot 2 cutouts and warned hubby of civilians around the corner.

we went IMM (Burger King and Diaso) and I had a massage by the OSIM uPapa at Best, then to Bt Timah NTUC Finest to shop.

I like the uPapa, relieved my aching back.

Cost of scallops

Before I forget, the scallops at Isetan cost approx $35 to $50 for 100g to 200g respectively.

Bento and Wine

So hubby and I went to ICA today He to collect his passport and me, my new IC. Yes mdm! It;s my coming of age IC. I'm 30! Woohoo!

Anyway, Isetan Scotts is having a Jap food fair and off we went to see what can we buy. We sample a couple of stuffs, most worthwhile scallops! It really ex.. I have to ask hubby exactly how much, he's sleeping now.. ssh. So we sampled and bought our dinner.

Here, before it's open..

and here.. yummy looking isn't it?

Hubby had pork don bento and me, crab don meat bento. It actually looks better then it taste, just so so, but hey, cheaper than eating at a restaurant.

Really love how the Japs packaged their stuffs, I'm a sucker for packaging!

Apparently rice is harvested in Autumn in Japan (early Sep), and they are called "shin mai" aka new rice. It is sweeter, chewier and softer. I can't taste the difference between that and Jap usual "old rice", they are equally soft. Well, maybe the "shin mai" is slightly sweeter. I believe the water used in various countries affects the taste of food. Hokkaido's rice is very tasty whether they are old or new, Australia's coffee is definitely better than home. It's definitely the water!

We also had a bottle of wine, I'm actually attracted to the cat on the packaging.. (see? I'm a sucker!)

Cato Negro, Cabernet Savignon Rose 2007

Central Valley, Wine of Chile

It taste good though, light, fruity with a hint of strawberry. We can't finish it, so it's in the fridge now.

Autumn 2006

In Oct 2006, 2 years ago, mummy, hubby and I went to Hokkaido, Japan.

It was cold! I love Autumn, the colours, the food (salmon swim upstream in Autumn) and the layering of clothes that can never happen at home.

I miss Japan already.

Having curry chicken for dinner tonight

yums! It has been almost 7 years since mummy cooked chicken curry.

I have the cravings for it. I even craved for bean sprouts with salted fish! Yup, she bought salted fish, so we will be having that for dinner son!

Having fun

haha.. 

I'm having fun changing the layout! Things have improved so much since the last time I blogged.

so many gadgets to choose from. I can't seem to find the site statistics gadget. Do you have any idea how to add it on?

We saw sakura in Hokkaido!

 Alright, I know .. it's old news and it's now November. But it's really hard to maintain a blog! There's FB which I can upload pictures and add comments and stuffs. it's really good!

But I have seen so many beautiful blogs that my friends have maintained really nicely and I feel inspired to do the blogging stuffs again! I will try... (heehehe)

Japan is so beautiful.. I want to travel again! Soon! But then there's the money issues.... Recession.... oh boy...

Have you met my friend?

okay.. I know she doesn't look very hot .. that's because I woke her up from her sleep and she is glaring at me...

Anyway, just want to introduce you to my friend. She has been loitering around for many years and hubby and I had not got around to naming her.

All she is officially known is "My friend".

So there.. her name to us is "My friend" or "Your friend" when hubby sees her.

He would say things like your friend was sunbathing outside the lift this morning... heheeh

She would greet us with a meow (hello, good morning etc).

She is cute but getting on in ages. More of her when I take more pictures. She will sit outside my gate and meow for me lah.. so I don't really want to get too attached.

Totoro car!

Just saying Hi!

I'm lousy at maintaining my blog... =p
