So sweet...

Weather:

One of my junior bakes some apple cupcakes. It was really sweet of her treating me. It really smells good and taste really soft on the inside. Not really that sweet which is good cause I like it that way. Should have gotten the recipe from her.

The part that are slightly lighter brown is the apple.
After eating this, makes me feel like making some cupcakes too.


Anyway, Swee Lin was back at work today after her 9 days holiday trip to Hong Kong and Taipei. Aw man~ So envy her. I shall save a good some of money next year and make my trip to Hong Kong and Taiwan too. She bought some little snacks back for all of us.

Each of us got 6 small packets of snacks.
From mochi to sweets to chocolate to cakes.
From the top, pineapple cake, orange sweets, two packet of fruits mochi, cherry cake and milk chocolate.

Of all those above, my favourite would be the orange sweets and the pineapple cake.
The sweets look so small and cute.

Dinner @ Jumbo

Weather:
We went to Jumbo Restaurant at East Coast Park for dinner today. It's been years since I last visited this restaurant. There is alot of changes to the outlook and feel of the restaurant. I wondered what kept them going after so many years. I won't say that all of their seafood are fantastic. Anyway, let's enjoy seeing the pictures of FOOD...

That's mummy with her new bag that we bought for her.

This is 象拔棒 (Geoduck Clam). When I first ate it, I fell in love with it.
This is an expensive dish. There are two ways of eating it.
One is sashimi style and the other way is to slightly cook it in soup.

The shell of the clam. This clam weights about 1.3kg.
It cost about $103 but it's GOOD.

Brother ordered this abalone for mummy in additional to the present.
Quite soft and tasty though it's small in size. We ate the gravy with a bowl of white rice too.
Just simply delicious.

麦片虾 (Cereal Prawns).
Ehh...the cereal smells good, taste good.
Think nothing about the prawns cause my mind is still with the Geoduck Clam.

A dish that will not be missing for celebration is Crabs.
We ordered two different-style-cooking Crabs.
Singapore famous Chili Crab and the not so famous Pepper Crab.

Both crabs that we ordered are with crab roe. Yummm.
And how can we eat chili crab without 馒头(bun), yeah.

That's little brother who requested me to take a picture of him eating that crab roe.
And that is the end product. Lol. It looks like some neo-print.

This baby squid is not as nice as the ones at Newton Circus.

A complete meal comes with vegetables.
On the left is 豆苗 (don't the name in english) and the right is Kang Kong.
豆苗 is well stir fried, not so salty. Yay yay! As for the kang kong, not spicy enough.

扬州炒饭 (Yangzhou Fried Rice).
Dad and dearest needs rice to be full. lol.

Me and mum on the right photo and a family photo.

After dinner, we went to Toa Payoh Central cause mum wanted to get herself some hairdye and at the same time I went to NTUC to get some cold fishballs (Longan). When we got home, we use the homemade ice cream cake that brother and me make to celebrate mum's birthday. Alright, I only did the crust and I had some complains about it. Hope mummy really enjoy this day and hope she will be happy always.

The ice cream cake was so hard that the whole cake can be lifted without a plate support.
Dearest illustrated the hardness of the cake in the picture on the extreme right.

Mummy's Birthday

Weather:
It is mummy's special day today. We bought her a pink Guess bag which she saw it some time ago but didn't buy it. The little one went down to OG to get the bag. Didn't manage to plan her birthday dinner today cause me and dearest have to attend Cecilia and Huizhen's choir concert at Victoria Concert Hall. She represents her secondary as alumni. We sat 2nd row from the stage cause we want take some pictures of them singing. Managed to take only a little cause we are not allowed to take any pictures during the whole concert. Oops~

Most of their poly mates went to watch to give both of them support.
Aww~ How nice of all of them.

Both of them walking in and singing afterwards. They looked so cool up on stage.

One of them caught this guy (extreme right) from the alumni not dressing appropriately for the occassion.
My dearest felt that he don't have money to cut hair.

Dearest and his friend, Kelvin, was laughing almost through out of the concert cause one of the conductor was wearing quite a tight pants which will show her sexy underpants. Then they also saw a few "cute" students. It's either the student can't take properly or the student didn't sing as his mouth is like mumbling. I think enough talking about the students. I think i would prefer listening to muscial instruments.

Not forgetting most importantly:

Happy Birthday to Mummy!
Happy Birthday to Mummy!
Happy Birthday Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to Mummy!
