Happy Birthday 3

The night of 6 October 2009. My son and Yvonne surprised me with a Ben &Jerry ice-cream. They even sang a birthday song to me. Felt so blessed by my Father in heaven.

On 7 October, my actual birthday, In the morning, Yvonne and I went Queensway Shopping Centre to alter my pant. While waiting for the pants is ready, we combed the shopping centre I once was familiar with. Yvonne commended that they sell mainly young men clothing and sports apparel. We also went Zhou Kitchen at Anchorage for our lunch. Both food and services were ok only, I expected a higher standard from Tung Lok Group leh....

After collecting the pant, we proceeded to Orcahrd Hotel to park the car since we have complimentary parking coupon (Eng Wee's wedding rehearsal was there in the evening). After that was shopping and more shopping....

We decided to eat at Tony Romas for dinner. Oh boy, I missed that place so very much....Have not visited there like 8 yrs. The last time was with Russ Hurst and pastors from Planet Shakers. Still remembered how I queued up to get when I was a teenager. : o )

After dinner.....Eng Wee's wedding rehearsal lor.....

Seborrhoeic dermatitis

For quite some time I was having this rash on my face and neck, I can't even remember when it started. All I could recalled was when I was suffering from my throat ulcers and after the medication, it all started.

The rash turned "red-er" 3 days ago, like sunburn. I went to see Dr Hiak at HL clinic, he concluded that the rash could be allergy to the antibiotics. Came home with some anti itch medicines. However the rash did not turn better, instead the skin started to dry and flake.

This morning went back to Dr Hiak, he diagnosed that the rash is not allergy but seborrhoeic dermatitis. Now the inflammation of the face sought of better but flaky skin still continue...

Not sure how long this will last...brothers and sisters, please pray for this condition to be healed soonest, in Jesus Name. ...otherwise birthday take photos not nice liao.....

What comes into your mind when Geylang is mentioned? Right Light district, messy traffic, food heaven....

From the report in Straits Times, it will likely become the new generation Chinatown. Maybe in generations to come, Chinese New Year celebration will be held at Geylang instead....

Dimsum Delights

Supposed to let Nathan learn how to cycle at T3 bicycle at east Coast Park (the old Big Splash) but they were fully booked till next month. For information, they guaranteed student can learn to ride bicycle in 45 mins or less.

However, we did not wasted the trip; because we came upon this nice little dim sum place there. The shop name "yi tian xin yi"..Dim sum Delights.

Nice food, tasted great...at least from the dishes we ordered.

This is the bigger version of xiao long bao...need a straw to drink the juice from the bao first

Yvonne said the noodle was very nice...and the fried dumpling were tasty too...

Nathan eating the macaroni...he said the soup is good. Yvonne said the soup was those of the lighter version...yummy....

The services was prompt and friendly and the young boss is very helpful. However, the place was a little too hot for the afternoon. And the place could be quite noisy if more people there are talking at the same time....due to the "enclosed" surrounding...some carpet or fabric should help to absorb some echo....hehehe... the "lamp" in the middle of the place is also strangely out of place....

You can see the overall decoration this place in my yoyo entry earlier...hmmm the simple HK street noodles setting...with a European 'lamp'...

Yo Yo Time

Bought 2 yo-yo for Nathan today. He said I am the best dad...lol

The black yoyo is $24.90, the black yoyo $15.

Father and son trying the new yoyo....

Mom could not resist but have a hands-on

Son showing off his skills...actually he is quite good leh....

Father showing off some simple trick....
