Asian delights: One

So we are finally leaving Singapore in exactly a week now! :) Honestly, I'm pretty excited although there's so much here to give up.. JUST LIKE ASIAN DELIGHTS! So my siblings (including my brother) and I came up with this list in which contains places and food to eat before we leave. So we are currently fulfilling it in this week by having breakfast, lunch and dinner. Trust me, I'm feeling such a fatty.

So first thing on the list which have been strike out: MELLBEN SEAFOOD

If you haven't tried this yet, you're totally missing out in life. A definitely must-eat-food in Singapore. Let the photos speak before words do..

P.S: Pardon the stupid captions below the pictures. I've no idea why blogger is doing this to me. :(

Where Mellbone Seafood is.

The exact location and address. GPS it! :) 

Look at the damn queue! :( 

The amount of food we ordered for 8 people and 1 baby! :) Obviously we are a fatty family that can gobble down any food that comes in our way

Look at the amount of people that were already eating dinner! This is taken at 6pm. Typical Singaporeans trying to avoid the dinner crowd. :D

My little niece all excited for her favourite crabs. :)

Bamboo clams! 

Their all-time favourite and best thing ever crabs. I honestly can't remember what's the name of it, but trust me it's the biggest picture on their menu, so it's very easy to spot. :D 

Ordered 2 bowls! Woohoo.

The girl who was taking our order recommend this - Strawberry prawns, or something like that. It's super weird, but I guess it's an acquired taste. I feel the prawns itself it good without the strawberry thing. :D 

Salted egg coated pork ribs! This is not too bad. 

We missed out 2 photos of tofus. One tofu is their signature dish which is like, probably, handmade tofu with some gravy and there are pork floss on top. We didn't really like it, so I guess you can not try it. And there's another which is some deep fried tofu thing. It's rectangular in shape and you can find it on the menu of the top right of the 2nd page? I think I'm pretty creepy by memorizing their menu.

Anyhow, if you haven't tried this, YOU MUST!

We started queueing from 6pm, and as you can see from the photo, the queue is horribly long. But trust me, it's worth the wait. We waited for about an hour plus before we can finally have a table, but 45 minutes more for the food to be cooked. The bad thing about this place is that you cannot call up and reserve tables. It's a must to queue. You can only call up to order take aways (if I'm not wrong).

We ate on Sunday night thus the waiting time is so long but obviously the queues for weekends are far worst than weekdays, but you still have to queue no matter what. Let me tell you a secret though! If you intend to eat there, go in big groups roughly about 6-8 people. Because they have more big tables than small ones. People who comes in twos or fours have a higher chance of waiting for a table than to groups. :D

You can follow our Asian delights for this whole week! :) I've placed a tag on the right borders!

Puzzle

Hey! I haven't been contributing to the blog for quite some time! So I will be posting today's post! Anyway, we have been dying to do a jigsaw puzzle for quite some time now. And finally daffy bought it  when she went out last week! :) Buying a jigsaw puzzle is PRETTY expensive!! $60+ for the jigsaw puzzle and $70+ for the frame! Wow!

Okay so here's the picture that we are suppose to get to at the end! You think it looks simple? It's one of the craziest puzzle to do. The borders are all white. The clouds looks exactly the same. The grass and flowers looks exactly the same too. :(

Close up on the 4 characters! BABY WINNIE THE POOH CHARACTERS! :):) Baby tigger, baby piglet, baby pooh and baby eeyore! :):) The actually represent the 4 of us. Hehehe! Pretty cute eh? :D

Okay so let's go! Step 1 to solving a jigsaw puzzle: POUR THE PIECES OUT!! :):)

Step 2: do the borders first! This jigsaw puzzle's borders is super crazy because it's totally white, so we literally just tried every piece to each other, hoping they will fit perfectly!

Step 3: Do the obvious pieces first. For this jigsaw, it's definitely the 4 cartoon characters! For your information, the 2 pictures below were fixed within less than 24hours since the unwrapping of the jigsaw! Aren't we fast? :D:D Hehehe.

Okay, so we finished everything but the clouds. Seriously, the clouds is INSANE. We gave up doing for afew days but finally we took time to sit down and stress over the clouds. And we managed to fix all within a week! That's pretty impressive by the fact that we had our own lives and we didn't do much for the first few days. Hahaha :):)

TADAAAAA!! We finally finished the entire jigsaw puzzle! WOOHOO! Oh by the way, it's 1000 pieces! I'm so happy!! :D:D So step 4: Take the glue that they gave in the jigsaw puzzle box and cover all over it! Make sure that you cover the ends too! :):) REMEMBER to put something underneath it or else it will get stuck to the floor or table.

Step 6 (Last and final step): After waiting for the glue to dry! Take the whole jigsaw puzzle and put it in a nice frame! :):) And ta-da! Our masterpiece! :):)

So there's something we can tick off the list now - doing a 1000jigsaw puzzle! :):) Good bye and sorry for the crappy posting :P

I would give it all to not be sleeping alone.

This photo was taken on daffy's mac photobooth like a week or two ago, when daffy was giving tuition to her tuition kid, and me and dulcy just sat on the floor, watching Big Bang Theory in the room. I know, it is awkward that we're interrupting her tuition, but it is cool!

Honestly, this photo gave me a scare. Haha! I know how many people think that we look super alike and all, and I disagree with people saying no we don't really and all sorts of nonsense on how we look totally different, or how we do not feel each other pain when someone whacks one of us physically, or the different face shapes we have, or even to the most detailed points on our face - the moles.

But in this photo, I shocked myself. I thought I was dulcy, and dulcy was me! Well, the first time I looked at it I guess. But I burst out laughing and started sharing this fascinating (well to me) photo to my brother and mother. Well, as usual, the more I look at it, the less I think I look like dulcy. But then again, this fascinates me! :D

I'd cross the world for someone like you.

All my life, my room has been a pretty big room. Or rather, I shall rephrase "re-sentence/re-structure" that sentence. All our lives, our room has been a pretty big room. Yes, we have been sharing a room all the time! And obviously, putting three beds into a room is not joke. But since our both parents are engineers, they always found a way of fixing up the room such that even a small room looks huge and spacious. Honestly, they are awesome engineers. :)

I don't really have photos of our previous two room concepts/layouts, or even the current one. But honestly, if you take a look at our room, you will be freaking amazed, and I am proud to call it our room! Hanging beds from the ceiling and no-legs-with-swinging-extension-tables. It is going to be pretty weird, that once we enter university, we will be having our own single rooms!

But nevertheless, I am pretty amazed by these two room concepts that I have seen on the internet. Well, by internet, I mean tumblr. Haha! It is really nice! :) Have a look. All three-bedder rooms! :)

I always want the top bed. :)

Flea as vendors!

We are crazy over fleas, since we started blogging because fleas have the cheapest things ever! Everything is on clearance sales, and everything is cheap! But this time, we turned things around - we were the vendors! We had our first flea market yesterday, Sunday at Scape park from 2pm to 8pm! Yes, we decided to sell some of our clothes, because we can't bring them to Scotland either. It is too cold up there! Pretty sad, I am going to miss all my summer dresses.

But back to the flea! We took one day to clear up our wardrobe and decide what we would want to sell! Our wardrobes are pretty empty now, which is quite sad. The whole room was in a big mess, no joke. So daffy was appointed to do the hanging of price tags, dul was appointed to hang the clothes, and I was appointed to write the price tag! Yes, division of labour applies in this family. :D

My little niece who entered my room and saw the shoes. She just put them on and started walking around.

All tidied up! We were pretty much looking forward to this day and was excited! So after our weekly Sunday morning marketing at Chinatown, we packed everything and headed down to Scape around 1pm plus! Thank goodness we had the big car at home to use to transport everything down! :)

How the back of the car looks like. Hahahaha.

Dulcy, our driver there! :)

Our supporter, Brina aka dulcy's boyfriend! :)

My rice krispies box that I used for these signs! :(

Thank goodness for a guy like Brina! Strong guys here is an advantage to us! :)

daffy with the luggage! :)

Setting up the store! Super warm!

My pink penguin, our only source of wind there!

So we spent like 7 hours at Scape, that humid place. We literally perspire for 7 hours there. It was an experience I guess! Thank goodness we had friends there who set up their own stores also, so we hopped to each other stall, caught up a little and all! Dulcy and Brina were our logistics/welfare people! :D They bought food and drinks for us - 2 bottles of mineral water, a box of honey stars and 2 bottles of pringles! They got french fries later! Daffy was the one who kept organizing the clothes each time some one looks through the clothes and messes them up! Well I was the one promoting the stall.

So this was my standard phrase that I repeated for 6 hours. "Hello, everything in the luggage is $5. If you buy 3, it'll be $12 only. All the pairs of shoes are at $10. And everything at our stall is below $20. So please have a look through the rack and everything. Thank you." It was a really long promotion that I had to keep doing, and hardly anyone stopped to look anyway. I think we are the horrible stall promoters. Haha! We kept pushing clothes to them, asking them if they think it looks good on them! Hahaha!

So we didn't sell much clothes, and mostly our customers were all from the Philippines. I can't believe one of them did the China method on me - the walking away if you don't meet my bargain price. What a bitch. & hardly only one bought things that are above $15. Sigh. It is pretty disappointing, but I guess it is okay!

Packing up!

Drove home and we were seriously pretty exhausted from everything! But I guess it was quite an experience! Not sure if we're going to do another to try to clear again, but honestly it is not cheap renting the stall and trying to break even is really hard. :(

So that was our experience with Fleas! :D
