BMW Exhibition @ MSB
Last Wed, we went to the BMW exhibition held @ MBS convention centre. A grand exhibit, it attracted lots of rich men and avid photographers in love with cars.
As this is my 1st time to MSB, i went to the entrance of their casino for a photo :P
Look at this 1960s antique, the surface is well polished, where it shines at the entrance of the shopping centre

Sweeties for Birthday
Dearie surprises me with balloons at my doorstep last Sunday evening. I was so overwhelmed by the huge balloon floating outside- they are so lovely. At that instant, i wondered back to my childhood days where it dawn a carefree and relaxing moment on me.
Me & dearie with the balloons
They floats!!!
Huge balloon with printed hearts....
That night, we had cake at this lovely English Victorian cafe next to the Cathay. Was treated to a sweet scent of vanilla and dainty rose tea
This dark choco raspberry mud cake is indulgently sinful. Rich with chocolate, it melts instantly when you put into your mouth!!!

Dinner @ Tetsu
Had a sumptuous dinner @ Tetsu last evening. Located at Tanglin Mall, the restaurant is some distance away from the wkend crowd, making the dining experience more relaxing as you will not be pressured by the crowd waiting for seat.
With soft warm lights, the dimly lit restaurant gives a sheer feel of romance and you will feel very comfortable having your meals there. We order their specialty - Tempura and Grilled pork tenderloin. They are heavenly delicious. MUST TRY, especially the grilled pork!!!!
Grilled pork tenderloin
Tempura
Their specialty - teapot soup was marvelous too. It gives off a light sweetness that will tantalize your taste bud in the most wonderful way you can imagine..... Had hot soba as the sharing main food; was simply delicious that you will ask for more after tasting. The soup base was lightly salted, with a tint of sweetness in it, making the soba blends well with the soup.

Remember to speak proper English at all time
On one of article, it discusses that we should not degrade our English levels even when placing orders from the hawker stalls. Good English can be simple English too and it can be easily understood.
Although most hawkers receive little education, they must not be deprived of the chance to learn and speak proper simple English. One learns the language by listening and through frequent use of the particular.
I concurred the above as I had mastered my English through frequent usage in my daily lives too – listen more English channels, and write and speak more of the language. It is a habit which everyone should cultivate as proper English will be easily perceived when we are conversing with other counterparts outside Singapore. I doubt they would be able to understand our Snglish and it is a disrespect to the language itself if not use properly. Hence everyone- let's try our best to speak proper English to our peers!

Distance Fare System- A fair structure?
How fair is this new distance fare system? I was apparently disturbed when I discovered that my fare has increased from $0.69 to $0.71 today, contributing an increase of $0.02 for every single short distance trip I travelled for. I am definitely not among the commuters who have benefited from the implementation of distance fare. It was clearly not a fair practice.
The increase of $0.02 had raised this sensitive question in mind on whether if the increase was used to compromise for the lower fares which some commuters are paying for. If not, why does the system not benefited all but only some? The transport authority should have designed a system that is fair and flawless. This structure greatly disappointed me when i was among the majority who is looking forward to a lower transportation cost; instead my monthly transport fee has increased by between $0.60 and $1.00. Some may think that this increase might be insignificant but to me, it means alot because i do not see my wages increasing while my expenses are getting heavier every day.

A Day At Singapore Universal Studio
My second ride - @ Jurassic Park
This ride is fun! the bumper boat hits down the rapid fall, sending sudden jerks left and right to the bumper! The sudden plunge in the cave is awesome, sending some of us soaked from head to toe.
Scenery from the theme park
The thrilling high speed roller coaster located indoors @ The Mummy - Entrance to its ride
The 4D movie of Shrek! Great to try out! Having the 4D effect, you seem to be transformed into the show, where you will feel what the character is undergoing - water rains on you when the character sneezes and when webs of spiders falls right in front of the character.
The enchanted castle
Hahaha! That's my drink
