Da yee is recovering!!!

Yuppie!
Received sms-es from xiong, mavis and a phone call from mummy delivering the good news that da yee's condition has improved!

After the ops to remove the source of infection from her body, the antibiotics are finally working for 2 conservative days! *3 cheers*

Even better news, the wind pipe has been removed from her body and she can now breathe on her own! what great news!

Life is so unexpected like what dear said.

Just on Saturday morning, the doctor was telling us that da yee's condition could not have been worst off and that we should all prepared for the worst. Even the turn of the weekend might be a uphill task.

We are counting our blessings!
That God has answered to our prayers and she is finally showing signs of recovery!

Life is really fragile...isn't it?
It really has a lot to do with will and determination.
One moment, you could be up.
The other moment, you could be down.
And the moment can occur very suddenly.

So, why the endless chase for material gains and wasting your life away?

Of cos, no money also die lah.
But if you set your sight and chase endlessly for material gains, what are you actually losing?

Your health.
Your family bonds.
Yourself.

Life can be so fragile..

Last weekend was a difficult one.
Instead of being able to laze as usual in my bed, I fought hard to wake up at 7am to rush to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

First aunt is being admitted to ICU. What first started as a stone in the liver worsen. Her fever was probably the first sign of an infection but none thought much about it and after visit to the GP, it didn't improve and yet worsen. By the 3rd day, her condition was so bad.

By the time she was sent to the hospital, her condition was so bad that she was admitted to ICU.

Her diagnosis: Blood infection and failing major organs.

Blood infection. It spur off from the infection in her liver. Apparently the condition was so bad that thus infection spread to her blood and causes blood infection. Her diabetics didn't help the condition. It became a multiplier.

Septic shock causes dipping BP and this sparks off a chain of corresponding vicious reaction. One of which is a heart attack.

Doc have given aunt antibiotics but due to the closed circuit of infection, the medication didn't work. Finally an ops was done today, to remove the infection source and hope that the antibiotics will work.

The ops is the first step to recovery.
Hopefully first aunt will find the will and power to fight against the illness.

Life is fragile. The last I saw her on deepavali when we went to pray to grandma, she was still normal. Now she is lying on the ICU bed with machine supporting her.

I recalled someone telling me this- health is something that is precious only after u have lost it.

Start treasuring your health and enjoy of indulgences before it's too late. When u are sick, the whole family suffers.

Praying for da yee, please be strong and recover!

[Eat] Dining @ Kim Gary

Have you been to the Kim Gary Hongkong Cafe @ Vivo?

I remembered my first visit was with my bestie 2 years back!

*Wow*

And after that, it never did tempt me to go back again until today.

One of the reason might be there is no need to queue.

Cos we were there around 5.30pm!

Sauce chicken wing with rice

Luncheon meat with egg instant noodles

Assorted mushroom with cheese

Appetizer wise, we chose assorted mushroom with cheese.

 I was really hoping that this dish would be full of enoki mushroom but no.... =(

There was only a handful and the rest was other mushroom.

It always appear very weird to me, why is it so difficult 

to have a just a pure enoki mushroom dish?

It seems that only a visit to Taiwan night market could 

satisfy our tremendous craving for enoki mushroom!

Well, a dish cooked with cheese can hardly go wrong.

Except for the lack of enoki mushroom, i must say that this dish went down very well with us.

*thumbs up*

Main course, i went for their instant noodle with luncheon meat and egg.

This is better than Xin Wang as the latter is quite tasteless.

But, if you dont hurry up and save your luncheon meat from the soup, it will soon be gone!

Soggy... =(

Dear went for a rice dish with sauce chicken wing.

I took a bite off the chicken wing and its good!

*slurp!*

The food is really much better than most HK cafe in Singapore.

Problem is, their ordering is so complicated. 

Instead of having a single piece of ordering form, 

they have many pieces for different types of food like appetizer, main course, etc.

*So environmentally unfriendly!*

When we eventually left the restaurant at 6plus, the crowd are already building up!

As popular as it can get!

Check them out @

No. 1 Harbourfront Walk, #02-128, Vivo City

And of cos, when you are craving for dessert after your main course, head down to Gong Cha for their delicious authentic Royal Milk Tea with Alisan tea base!

**Slurp slurp**

I am never a lover for Yong Tou Fu but i love this one.

Presenting Fu Lin Tou Fu Yuen!

Shop interior

Delicious bak chor thick mee hoon

Our yummy selections!

Our yummy selections!

bird eye view!

Sour plum drink

Delicious otah!

Since my ex-colleague introduced this delicious outlet to me, 

i have been going back there whenever i am in the East. 

I love how the shop presented the bak chor thick mee hoon instead of the usual rice as a staple food. 

And the fact that minced meat is added to the noodles give it a nice texture. 

The shop stated that there is no pork or lard so i guess it has to be chicken minced meat.

I am seriously thinking, why exclude PORK?

By stating no pork or lard doesn't make it HALAL.

So why not just cater to the palette of the pork lover?

But well, the boss must have a reason...

Among their niang tou fu selection, a MUST TRY is their cheese sausage! *yummy*

Everything among their selection adds up nicely to a great combination. 

And their selection has a very huge range.

But because its still fried food after all, we still choose a lot of greens..

The Otah is another must try!

This otah consist of prawn and mackerel and i love prawns!

So its ultra-ly delicious!!!

Its really not your typical otah.

Same goes to the pricing which is almost $5 per piece!

So if you think you love this kinda deep fried yong tou fu, please check them out @

MINDBLOWING THOUGHT PROCESS!!!

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?

I wanted to ask:

what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York CityGarden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1. Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2. Which age group should I target?
3. Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls  who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry  rich guys.
4. How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? My target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

Awesome reply:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours.

Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.

However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".

Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me...
