I love Taiwan and i will be back

Our trip to taiwan was fantastic, the food was good too. Cheap and nice. I really miss the food there. After you taste taiwan food, you wont want to eat singapore food at all. Just look at the price! Below are the pictures of the food we ate. I only post some pics as i have too many pics. Taiwan is such a nice place, you will fall in love with this country.

I love the food, the people, most of them are very friendly. Transport wise was cheap too. I am not going to compare, no point comparing. So far their mrt was good, so much better! Its the 1st time in my life seeing poeple queueing up to board the mrt, they REALLY queue up. 1st time seeing people wait for others to alight the train before boarding. 1st time seeing the priority seats empty even thought the mrt was packed with people.

Their bus was good too, helpful bus driver, you will be surprised for what you see.
Anyway enjoy the foods there....

Our simple breakfast. Very nice and cheap.

Ding Tai Feng, actually not very nice. Not recommended.

Big hot dog.....

The food below you cannot find it in Singapore, Zhu Xue Tang. Singapore no longer have this. I remember when i was small, singapore still got sell this.

Ah Gai...heehee actually nothing special. Taste wise ok lol.

Table full of food!I didnt dare to eat the above...so smelly. My hubby loves it.

I bought so much things.... happily shopping...eating...sight-seeing....

Look at the thickness of the chicken! Its worth the price!

This is my favourite...... althought singapore have 1 stall now, but we only ate it once...quite expensive. I will go taiwan again. I love taiwan! 8 days in taiwan wasnt enough! Dont really feel like coming back, i feel so sien when i reach singapore.

I must visit taiwan again....I Love Taiwan!

I am 1 month plus old

Time really flies...soon i am going to enjoy my Public Holiday on this coming friday haha. People will feel whats so special about it. To me is my 1st public holiday which i am able to off, do not need to go back to work. We will be going to desaru early morning and back on Sat night, Sunday will have a good rest. I kind of looking forward to it, 3 days off. But Monday i sure will be moody.

In this company for 1 mth plus, people tent to ask how lal...blah blah blah...my ans alway "OK Lol"...i dont really know what to say, so far so good. No good nor bad...most important everything peaceful.

My ex-colleauge will be joining me in this company, i of cause will be happy. Although in different department, but if possible we could go lunch together. Could even meet her for breakfast at sengkang, than proceed to board the bus provided by company.

Back to my company, i have heard some scary stories about staying till too late, they will feel very eerie. I was feeling rather scare too, alt wed i will be staying back to help do reports. Lucky is that there are some other staffs staying bacl, but they will go off early. I will go off with them, usually by 9pm all will go off. It can be very scary to be in a office with not even a single soul except you!

Told my hubby about it, he will say Whats there to be scared about? He ask: " Which is more scary? No $$ or ghost?" I said no $$ is scary but ghost more scary.... His reply is: " There nothing to be scared of, no $$ is the most scary thing. Ghost, if see one, chat with it lolx! Ask for number than go buy 4D, win liao burn many joss paper give the ghost." Me: "@.@"...

Talk to ghost...dont dare wor...wapian call me ask for number! I think i will faint. I tell myself not to think too much, cause it will make you more scare. But its really quite eerie when the office has no people, only you, so quiet. Anyway max for me is to stay till 9pm, i told my hubby, i can stay till 10pm if he could come and accompany me wahahaha...as my OT pay is 1.5....He :"....@.@" wahaahha

What i have bought and going to buy next

We knew our flat wont be ready in the next 6 months, maybe around Oct than we able to get our keys, but we still want to go shopping, trying to see whats out there. We call Jiaqin and went out hunting.... went to furniture mall, went to some shops to look around. Wanting to know the price range of sofas, coffee tables, dinning tables.

There is this shop that caught our attention and went in. We fall in love with this sofa. We were tempted to buy, but hold on to it. The price was $2K and above, wasnt very cheap. We gave ourselves 1 day to consider, went to other shops to compare prices. Price range was between $1.8K and above. We actually still like this sofa set the most, in the end we went back to this shop with Jiaqin and her hubby, we bought it, Jiaqin choose a different design, while we choose this design.

Of cause buying such an expensive sofa sure kena nagged by asingaporeanson heeheee, my hubby give him such a nice excuss that he didnt nag anymore wahaha.... I plan to buy too expensive coffee table and dinning table... NOTTI sure scream at me wahahaha.....ok lal notti... i wont buy too expensive one...heheee
Next, went to look at stove. Actually dont really know what brand too get, dont need branded one, juat want a normal and wont spoil too easily one. Still thinking to get a 2 or 3 stove. Still searching round.
Washing machine, i decide to get this brand, but wont get it from Courts, will look around to see where we can get a cheaper washing machine.
After much decision, we decide to get this fridge, my hubby love this fridge, samsung 2 door fridge. But will also search around, to see other places and compare the price.

The following items below are already bought. People are saying, wow...you so fast buy ar... actually i buying some of the things bit by bit. small items can buy first. Last min, will have too many items to buy. At least when flat ready i already have some items on hand.
I am buying all he colorful items... think my hubby will faint... mutil color wahahaha. But i love it so i believe my hubby wont mind.


Of cause my shopping wont stop here, i will continue my shopping, this time will look for coffee table... Notti...dont nag ok, i not buying expensive things...heeheee...cheap cheap only. :)

HDB Re-sales Unit

Saw this in HDB website under Sales of balance flats. Till now my blk got 3 units availble. When we saw all are high floor unit, we feel sad. At the time of applying, we left with no choice. We wanted this blk, but highest floor at that time was Level 7. We wanted our unit facing main road, we do not want flat to flat view. If we choose unit facing inwards, sure got high unit. So no choice, we take Level 7 unit since we prefer facing main road units.

If we have this 3 units to choose, we will take the #13-595. 2nd choice will be #10-597. But too bad, there wasnt much choices. Our queue number was almost the last fews. We keep thinking those that get good numbers were damm lucky. This was our 2nd bto we are balloting. The 1st one we dont even have a queue number. We are 1st timer, 1st time applying, so hard for us to get. We were so happy when we have a chance to go down to choose a unit. Of cause the units we wanted was all taken up. (Which now available as people gave up their units) We were thinking if they did not apply, we might have a chance to choose...

When people give up their unit, they have many reasons. Decide not to marry anymore, change of heart so give up, even though paid 10% fees, still have to give up. Maybe gave up cause they have better offer? Or feel they can't affort? Or they decide to give up their citizenship?

The one to gain will be HDB, they wont refund you, you can only forfeit it. Of cause the price of these units now is far more expensive compare to 3 years ago, should be at least $60,000 more than we bought in the past. Prices of HDB only increases... I began to wonder, when our kids grow up, will they be able to affort to buy a flat?

My answer will be "NO"! I dont know how are they going to survice in Singapore. Like singaporeanson plan, to help Albany save $1 a day. Its a good idea, i will follow too heheehee... To save for my kids if i have one in future.

I will die early

I believe i will die early, so i dont really need to worry when i grow old i cant get a job. Who can really understand my agony? Why do i say i will die early?

Every single day, i am facing Singapore Number 1 transport problem. Travel by bus, it will jam till i want to scream...blood boiling to the max, travel by mrt worst! You have to worry hearing this:" Due to a track fault again, the train will be delayed." And i happily waited 25 mins for A TRAIN to arrive!

This is really ridiculous. Forever like this, when than can have no train or track fault? when can MRT goes smoothly? Still dare to say is world best transport? I waited till my blood vessel going to burst! I really will die early if this continues everyday. Seriously, i began to think if i should continue to stay here anot. I don't wish to die early.

Today, just travel from loyang to Pasir Ris mrt, took me 40 mins! A usually timing of not more than 15 mins trvelling time, today travelling time 40 mins!!! Can you imagine? Jamming all the way, whole Singapore route jam! If you think travel by mrt will be the fastest solution, you are DAMM WRONG! You can wait for up to 30 mins for a train to arrive!

When i move in to punggol, i need to check if there is any bus travelling from Sengkang to Punggol, although travelling by mrt is only 1 stop, what if i need to wait 20 to 30 mins for a train to come? I think by bus will be faster. It seems like every month mrt can break down 3 to 4 times! Bus the most jam ba, no matter how, there is no best transport.

They keep saying wanting to improve Singapore transport. How to improve? come on lal, its impossible! Looking at this situation, its impossible. I don't trust them at all! Never! Only know how to kill my cells! Suck my blood! Taking my money!

1) Two service disruptions on the North-South Line (NSL) that took place on 15 and 17 December 2011 caused major disruptions.

2) On December 18, 2011, all MRT Stations on the North-South and East West MRT Lines were not opened at the usual 5.30am, to perform checks on all trains and tracks. The MRT service will start at 10am instead.

3)MRT services down again...this time due to ' a signalling fault' in Jan 2012

4) Last: Singapore MRT North East Line Breakdown 15-03-2012

5) Today 27 Mar 2012,: Due to track fault again, Pasir Ris mrt delay 25mins.

Did i miss any dates out? I believe i did, but cant remember when haha. SMRT Jia you! Continue your good work in breaking down ya. Singapore route all continue to jam ya.

Encourage hiring for 45-54 age group Letter from Yoon Wai Nam 04:45 AM Mar 27, 2012

I refer to the Manpower Ministry's letter "More companies here tapping older workers" (March 21), which pointed out that 61.2 per cent of residents between the ages of 55 and 64 were employed last year. This means that 38.8 per cent of them were not employed. More importantly, the next cohort in line, between the ages 45 and 54, is a bigger age group (16.7 per cent of our population). This group has a high chance of being restructured out of work or may opt for early retirement. Any failure to keep them engaged in employment would lead to a population that is more dependent on economically-active and typically younger workers. We need to formulate the best way to harness the accumulated experiences of this cohort, persons highly qualified in their traditional industries. This group has witnessed the opening-up of China and the challenges of globalisation. There would be missed opportunities if we do not capture their experience either as mentors or as strategic hires in corporations and within the non-profit sector. Local companies and non-profit organisations should step forward and lead the way.

I got this article from ONLINE TODAY. I began to wonder, what will i be when i reach the age of 50? Am i still healthy enough to work? What about my hubby? We cant affort not to work as we still have a house to pay. Even you reach the age of 60, you might have to continue work, in Singapore, no work = DIE!

When you look around, actually not many old people gets a job, in hawker, i see young FT clearing the plates (Cant our uncles aunties do it, or they refuse to do), i see FT selling foods, selling drinks in kopitiam (Cant our uncles aunties do? Or they dont want to do), i see FT sweeping the shopping mall floor ( Why not our uncles aunties), i saw FT washing toilet (Why?). I saw FT working in ntuc (I think our aunties will be able to learn or they refuse to learn?)....

If i reach 55 years old and still need to work. Will they rather employ a young FT than me? They are cheaper and can learn faster. Compare to me (age 55), slow and may not be as cheap as them. I told my hubby to learn play guiter, in case when we are old and jobless, he can go play guiter and sing, i will go fight with FT to sell tissue paper, collect cans....cardboard.

I began to think of nottis, now they work hard, but when they are old, will they have a much better life than us? I believe they will, when they reach 50 plus, they might be able to retire while in Singapore, ifs impossible to retire ubless 1 million dollars drop from the sky. Really must consider get out of singapore. Really dont know, can only try to save more $$.

Why do i start to write blog

I started having my own blog long ago, before asingaporeanson even started. I realise i don't really know what to write so i stopped for a time being. Till the day he started to have his own blog. From there i slowly started to write again. Of cause cant compare with notti, i enjoy reading his blog, while reading i might either laugh or cry. Notti inspire me to try writing my own blog.

I never share my blog with others, nor did i post my blog in my facebook. I believe my english is not that good, alot of grammer mistake, who cares, i not going for competition. But i just dont like to share it in fb acc for everyone to read, its really nothing special about my blog. I cant write like notti, his english was bombastic, i believe his blog have more than 500 people reading it. So i am low profile, i dont need many people to come and read. I believe only afew like nottis, my hubby and some of my friends will read, thats enough.

Until recently, my hubby was the 1st one to post my blog in facebook, and people start reading, than notti post my blog too in his facebook, more people click to have a look. I know everyone's opinion are different. IF unrelated people want to come kpo and read my blog, and YOU dont like what i write, thats your problem. In the 1st place i never INVITE you to read. I NEVER FORCE you to read, so dont read ya. I dont welcome different channel people to read. (Alan, i am not talking about you ya, but i have to say your english damm powerful heeheee.)

I dont write everyday, dont actually need to write every single day. I only write when i have something in mind which i wish to say it out, happy, angry or sad. I am free to write whatever i want, whatever i wish haha. I wont change because some unrelated have too many opinion, non of my business.

Till now i only read 1 person blog, thats asingaporeanson blog. I like reading his blog, others, i am not interested to look or read. I dont care what they write or think, i just not interested, they are unrelated to me. So why read? I read notti's blog because he is my good friend, i would want to know hows his life is now and hope everythings good will come to him.

I hope to see him back for a visit soon....hubby and me waiting to treat notti's family ICE KACHANG!
