Went to changi village for lunch yesterday cos we felt like having the famous nasi lemak. It was cheap & the fried chicken wing was good. But the rice was sadly lacking...not lemak enough. No smell, not enough coconut & pandan. The chilli also not so good. The otah was ok, the ikan bilis is not fresh crunchy. Quite disappointing. Sarah tried the Anything drink. It was like a coke flavour but dam lousy. Was like diluted coke & this we tried before pouring into the cup of ice.

These are the signs we saw at changi village. We were trying to figure out if "queen" was misspelt ?? The singh tailor sign very cute, proprietor baboo singh :>

Then there was a new shop which was selling army stuff. Hubby says not genuine army stuff. Then we saw a M-16 rifle on one of the shelves, priced at $318. And get this, PLASTIC !!!! So obvious !! We weren't even close enough to touch but can see its plastic. Wah liao...like something from some toy shop ! Incredulous that would be priced like that.

Headed to ikea, loads of parking space...we like ! But when we got inside the store, it was pretty crowded. Ordered the tables, shelves, drawers & bought some other stuff. The goods arrive on Wednesday. Picked up a pack of swedish meatballs from their market corner, plus the sauce for the meatballs & the jam. Fixed that for dinner. Yummy & quite filling. Got sauce leftover, froze it & will use that for mash. Can have bangers & mash.

Working late tomorrow, gala premiere & official opening. I need to take care of the board & media.

Sarah needs to fix her hair colour back cos school starts on Monday. Her highlights will be too obvious.

On Saturday went to dyran & carol's place for dinner. Dyran's birthday & to celebrate father's day. I brought a yummy mango cake from prima deli...all overlaid with fresh mango. Dinner was simple, chilli dogs, lye chee from cambodia one of the friend's brought, chips with onion sour cream dip. Booze of course.

Then the rain came. So we all went under cover.

After which we lazed & the boys started to jam with their guitars. Ryan brought his amp & electric guitar. For the first time he joined in to jam. And he had fun. Now he knows how fun it can be rather than playing alone. He learnt to follow nick & dyran cos he didn't know alot of songs, cos he only plays rock. Now he knows that to jam & really have fun, must improve on the repertoire, some old songs as well as the new. And the classic evergreen songs which every guitar player must know.

Over the weekend in the newspapers, a bulgarian busker was arrested for immigration charges, not for busking. A blind busker in the same location as the bulgarian complained that the public gave the bulgarian more money than to him. Errrr hubby say...he blind how he can see the other guy got more money ???? So true lolol

SCV kena from me. On Sunday morning I called cos our new package of channels were not activated. I rang on Friday evening & was told would be activated within 24 hours. Long phone call with the customer service who was very helpful in assisting me to tailor our channels. Anyway, I called on Sunday morning before heading out to lunch.

Boo Boo One : The customer service staff asked me what packages I want & I am like HAH ??? You dun have our history meh ?? Dun have. Grrrrrrr so I repeated the convo I had with other customer service on Fri nite.

Boo Boo Two : This girl then says, due to technical problem that's why not activated. Wtf ?? If she doesn't have my record of request for change, how to have technical problem ?? So I tell her exactly that. She says she will get customer care consultant to call me. For what ??? She kena me blurr oredi lor.

Boo Boo Three : Anyway, someone did call & said will activate it by that night "since this is an urgent case". Well hellooooo...I didn't say it is urgent. I asked for it on Friday night & was told 24 hours but it wasn't done. Told her that.

Boo Boo Four : Then she says that they have record of my request for change but the customer care staff's system can't retrieve all the info. HAH ??? I said that is laughable becos SCV is cable tv, broadband & mobile.

So so laughable cos they have all this technology & they can't get simple info. Just say that it was a mistake & overlooked. Why try & slip in those SOP answers here & there. Don't gel maaaah ! Sigh sigh sigh...

Caridee won America's Next Top Model !! Yaaaaayyyy ! I dun like the other girl cos of her personality.

Long post...making up for the days that I haven't been on lol.

Lament for the day : arrrghhh I watched Congo again cos kids never watched it before. Amy is cute though.
