Old SMRT bus

Yesterday evening, as usual, I walked to the bus stop near my office to wait for my bus. The digital bus arrival time board showed that my bus will be arriving in 3 minutes. Normally it is very crowded, especially around 6-7pm, I hardly get seats. But, out of my surprise, the bus was almost empty, with only 3 passengers in the bus.
The bus is so OLD but the air-cond was kind of strong, I felt so cold once I got into the bus. I have chosen a seat near the the Exit, and I started to observe the bus. Old bus, a really old bus. I feel scared. The driver looked scary too.

Inside the bus


I felt even scarier when the exit door opened for passenger to get down from the bus. The door is the sliding type. I managed to record it.

Junk food shopping...

My weekly junk food...


I finished work very early yesterday, around 6.00p.m. Everyone started leaving the office. I also left as I do not want to stay in the office alone, in the evening. So, I went to do my "weekly junk food shopping".
The two bottles of Minute Maid orange juice - my favorite drink. $2.20 each (1 littre).
Minute Maid is under Coca-cola company. But, I have no idea why it is not being sold in Malaysia.
The rest of the tidbits are some peanuts, mix nuts, kuaci and also gummies.
Spent total of $6.50.

Times Bookstore warehouse sale



Reached KL around 12am++. It was a tiring journey. Then, I drove to dear's house to have dinner. Some of you might ask: What? dinner around 1 a.m? Yes, dinner at 1 a.m. This is my Friday dinner time. By the time I reach KL and by the time dear close his shop is will be around 12 a.m. - 1 .am.
I reached his house before him. Then I parked my car in front of his house. BANG!
"What was that sound? Did I just hit something? Am I too sleepy?"
Then I walked out from my car and checked what actually happened. Guess what? Nothing happened to my car, but just right before I wanted to get back into my car, I was actually stepping on some "ashes". Oh god! And I also saw some bricks with joss sticks!!! I quickly get back into my car, and locked myself inside. Seconds later, I saw 2 cars were heading to dear's house. Thanks god, dear and his father were here!
After dinner, we went for a drink somewhere near his house. And I told him about that incident. He asked me not to worry, nothing will happen. Wish me luck ya, I hope nothing will happen too.

Had breakfast with mom and sis at Kim Gary in Hartamas shopping center. The main purpose of taking them there was because of the Times Bookstore Warehouse Sale. I bought 6 books for RM57 only! Cath, thanks for the information!

Clinique 3-step

Clinique 3-step


I have very oily skin. Months ago, I had suffered with hormonal breakouts, my skin was never clear and it left me lots of dark spots (Acne scars) on my jaw line. I have tried all type of products, especially those with Vitamin C or lemon juice in order to clear those dark spots but nothing seems to help. I also put sliced cucumber on my face every night, but still, I did not see the result.
So, I decided to give Clinique 3-Step a try. Since it is recommended by CLEO. I bought this 3-step system which is suitable for combination skin to oily skin type. I can see the result after 3 days! My skin is not that oily anymore! All I need is 3 minutes and the morning and another 3 minutes in the evening!
  1. Cleanser - what you need is just a small amount, says half of a 5 cents coin? It gives you a clean face without feeling the drying/tightening effect after wash.
  2. Toner - I love this toner, it clears my dark spots! Remember, Exfoliation is the engine of skin renewal!
  3. Moisturizer - I have chosen the gel base type. It is oil-free. My face feels fresh after applying it.
Clinique 3-step, my special companion forever!

Singapore Bak Kut Teh

Singapore Bak Kut Teh...


I like the rice with dark soya sauce


I think Rinnel (my lunch mate) will be very happy if I declare Tuesday as Bak Kut Teh day.lol. Other than Laksa, Bak Kut Teh is also one of our Singapore favorite foods. But, I still prefer Malaysia's Bak Kut Teh. As you can see from the pictures, the Singapore bak kut teh soup is 'clearer', in fact, they only put pepper, pork ribs, garlic, salt and water. No herbs and no "fei chee yoke", and that's why the soup is not oily.
Can't wait to have Bak Kut Teh for lunch...

Price info:
SG$4.00 for the Bak Kut Teh
SG$0.50 for the rice
