2nd stage of Circle line opens

SMU Campus!
Bras Basah Station. It's like so huge (& beautiful). Why the big space?

I took the Circle line from Paya Lebar to Bras Basah yesterday. Wow, the names of the stations are Esplanade, Dakota, Promenade etc. Bras Basah Station stops right in the middle of SMU. Yayness, but it's a longer route for me to take the circle line.

The Great Move Carnival











How can I explain it? Knowing you'll never step foot into the auditorium that you've been faithfully going for 21 years. That the rooms you danced and sang in as a child will be bulldozed over. That all the nooks and crannies of the church I've complained about will no longer be.

But Ps Chia, our senior pastor, was right in quoting Ecclesiastes: There's a time for tearing and a time for building. This is our time. Goodbye, old building of Bethel. Pray we see you tall and beautiful come Christmas 2011. All glory to God.

Check the switch

There's nothing wrong with my camera!!! Yay, apparently there's a switch on the SD memory card. I must have accidentally switched it locked. How did I know that? I went to Canon Singapore website and emailed my enquiry. And a lady from Canon called me the next day at 8.30am.

I need to be more proactive about taking care of my tech products. For e.g. I can't hear through the personal speaker on my iPhone. So for the longest time, whenever friends call, I always have to put on loudspeaker, and get the whole world to hear my conversations. But I have to go down to ST Com Centre to get it repaired.

So usually how do I deal with products gone wrong? Buy new one lor. But that's not the way anymore! While I'm tempted to ask my father to do everything for me, I shall not. Cos I suddenly realise I'm turning 21, so need to have an adult's perspective. :D Gosh I feel older already.

I cooked!

I and Mum made Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes yesterday. It was kinda fun, except the part about rolling raw meat in your hands to get the ball shape.

The mashed potatoes were made with parmesan cheese, cream cheese, hot milk and butter. Woohoo. Swedish meatball were made with minced pork and beef (kinda weird, next time just stick to beef) and onions, flour and fried in lots of butter. Mum and I were debating, should we go with the recipe and fry them in butter, which is infamously unhealthy but a lot more fragrant? Why heck, let's do it in butter as the recipe says!

Didn't take photos, cos my camera has some problems (It says CARD IS LOCKED!). We ate the meatballs in Pasta tomato sauce. :D However we weren't very satisfied with the meatballs though. It could have been chewer, so we decided we're going to try a different recipe next time. We used the one from IKEA, DON'T USE THAT! The mashed potatoes came out great. Yays.

Things to know about the iPad

Nope, I didn't get it la, but others did!


Although the sale of iPhones are skyrocketing, I don't think it'll be the same for iPad. For me, the combination of my 2-year-old-and-really-scratched-and-laggy 3G (no S) iPhone and wonderful lightweight Mac Air will do. In fact, they do real fine.

My Dad said I could change my 3G one to 3GS in June when my contract expires, but I'm like... Is that necessary? Argh, the draw of materialism.

Nothing is so dear as family

Dear cousin Hayley, you are soooo cute. I want a daughter just like you. :D
That's my whole family! Taken on CHU YI of Chinese new Year 2010. It's tradition to take a family photo on the first day of CNY. Dan, Gab and I do look quite alike!
