dim sum anyone?

hohoho... i had lunch eating dim sum at FortunAte Restaurant in Toa Payoh. with my parents, & bro+family. ryan was the usual riot. XD we ate loads!!! and i shared a bowl of frog legs porridge (田鸡粥) with my bro n parents. that big bowl alone costs $10. =_= ok la not too exp. the rest were quite yummy. but i believe all of us felt they threw in too many prawns. almost all the dishes came with prawns. and lots of them too! and to top it all off, i'd foot the bill! *beams* first time using my credit card. wheee... =x

next stop we headed to suntec. we were in search of MY present! a jacket! i think we hunted high and low for it. really. i was pretty sweaty on my back real quick. most of the shops had barely 1 or 2 options available. U2 had a few, Dockers had some variety, Giordano cleared their last design of a jacket i liked, G2000 only had one not too nice one, TopMan had nothing good for a jacket, Timberland had the fisherman type that makes you haggard and old. we concluded at Winter Time, beside Harvey Norman.

The jacket costs $159. there were other cheaper options too. but i liked this one. and they bought for me. *spoilt+touched* my sis-in-law paid for it. however... they didn't have stock there! so we left after paying. my brother was gonna collect it at their hougang mall branch. =x

oh yeah... when i got home, the first thing i did out of the blue, was to give my terrapin a rub down bath. it was getting all mouldy on the edges of its shell!!! i took it out for a walk first. it was in the sun for a while before it decided it was safe to move around. then it proceeded to crawl back towards the general direction of its blue watery home of a plastic box. but he picked up some dirt and stuff along the way so i decided to just give him a bath for his algae-ridden back. so cute when i was rubbing its belly near the head it was opening up its beak! it was either ready to bite me in retaliation or feeling so shiok its mouth opened. LOL... so i rinsed it and placed it back. i dun think it will have this luxury once i'm away... i might not see it alive again by the time i'm back! :(

oh well... one down, 13 more to go. xalmon's a no-show.

• oh here's a revision of my budgetted wishlist:-
• travel-sized speakers
• SD/MMC card holder for at least 3 of those cards
• tie clip?
• travel-sized mouse
• a wallpaper CD holder(i think i've got that in my thinkgeek wishlist)
• portable harddisk (gawd you can't be serious... these things cost $)
• pencil case?
• stationery?
• *NEW* breakfast-in-bed tray

oh i dun intend to have breakfast in bed all the time. the tray can allow me to use my laptop while i'm between the sheets comfortably. i can prop the lappy up on the tray and save my own lap from overheating and stuff... smart huh!
