Happy National Day!

I may not be a big patriot, and I am always complaining about something or another, but I do love my sunny little island. The developments in the past few years alone is really something to be proud of! We have our own casinos, theme park, will be hosting the Youth Olympic Games, and is the venue for the first ever city night race, among other achievements.

We are turning out to be the quite the metropolis, considering our humble beginnings. Majulah Singapura!

Thank goodness for long weekends! Nothing like a lazing around at home on a Monday afternoon to make you feel rested and cheerful! I am all geared up and ready for the short work week!

I've been having these mad cravings for vegetables recently. It's quite strange. I am usually not really a vegetable person, and would only eat whatever legumes that somehow lands on my plate. But I was at this fantastic buffet at Marina Bay Sands the other day, a nice treat from a friend, and I kept wandering to the salad bar, ignoring the tempting calls from the duck confit, the fresh seafood, and the absolutely mouth-watering desserts.

I am officially an old person now! Since, to my knowledge, only old people likes vegetables.

I always remember my Ah Ma eating loads of vegetables, leaving the good stuffs like meat and seafood for the kids. But that DOES NOT mean I will give up my meat and seafood for anyone! NO!

Xiao Long Bao Steamboat this Friday to celebrate Ah Yun's birthday! First time celebrating her birthday in two years! Looking forward!
