Dinner at Yaki Yaki Bo

Met up SGFemale at Jurong Point after a long squeezy ride inside the MRT. The company transport sent me to Jurong East instead of Jurong Point and I have to take a train back to Jurong Point...sucks man!

Anyway we decided to have Japanese food for dinner as we walked past the Shokutsu Japanese dining area. After much hesitations, we decided to have Japanese Tepanyaki for dinner and so we went in to the Yaki Yaki Bo restaurant.




We ordered a seafood set for SGFemale and Chicken-cum-Seafood set for myself. The ambience is smoky but food quality was good in my opinion.





SGFemale: OK, time to go home, hmm dun feel like taking bus
SGMale: I dun mind taking cab if someone is paying
SGFemale: Ok...Ok...

Sarpino's Pizzeria at Singapore Discovery Centre

We had a very disappointing lunch over at the SDC today. Their discovery cafe only has 2 stalls, one selling Nasi Lemak and the other selling pizza. The stall selling pizza was man by a young lady who was more busy playing her PSP that to serve customers. Service was pretty bad and we did not even know who else is working in the kitchen after our order. We suspect that staff working in the kitchen could have fallen asleep long time ago.

After some 20 minutes of waiting, the food finally arrives. The slice pizza was acceptable, but the pasta were horribly done, both serving of pasta were probably the worst we have eaten so far..;(









Never will we attempt to eat from Sarpino's pizzeria again..one bitten, twice shy.

Visit to Singapore Discovery Centre

Since weather was good, we decided to visit SDC with our son. We took a cab there as it was rather hard to get a bus on a Sunday afternoon.




Very nice place to ride along with your kids





Videography is not allowed within the exhibition premises so we took quite a bit of pictures. The place is a bit like Science Centre except it is smaller in scale and number of visitors is very much lesser than that of Science Centre.






There are many variety of discovery games that are suitable for both the old and the young. Our son especially like the stepping game where one needs to step on the whiteboard in order to execute actions like kicking virtual balls, chasing virtual butterflies etc.

There is a giant sphere that emits many varieties of colors that never fails to catch the attention of our son. There is also a free 2D movie called Great North, a documentary on how people living there survives on the extreme cold weather and very scare food resource. The people living there has no internet, radio, entertainments like karaoke, movies. They have no Orchard to go shopping, all they have is very hermit-like type of life style where SGFemale and myself could never ever imagine living such simplistic life, we will probably go crazy in a day or two..;)






Great North also shows us unique ways of living that are perfectly adapted to extreme environments. Patience, a respect for nature's lessons and the bonds of community are what's needed. Inside their snow houses and tents, we watch the Inuit and Saami passing on what they know to their children, making sure that their way of life will remain eternal.



After the show, we took a 30 minutes free tour on a Safti bus that goes around the camp. We were briefed by the tour guide how the many aspects of the camp and their respective functions and history.


There are also many art and craft displays that caught our attention. All very nicely done, wonder who does all these...















There are quite many things that are very state-of-art and we greatly enjoyed ourselves. But to attract many more visitors, they may need to consider lowering the entrance fee.

Dessert at MOF [Ministry Of Food]

After a heavy lunch at Ajisen, we decided to have some desserts. We travelled down one floor and we walked past MOF [Ministry Of Food]. The place looks nice and unique and price is reasonable and most importantly they are not charging GST and Service Charge yet..;)





We ordered 2 desserts to share among ourselves. Will be back for try out more varieties soon.

Lunch at Ajisen Ramen - CCK

After delivering our son to my parents' place, we decided to take the LRT to Lot 1. We decided to try out Ajisen [Japanese Ramen] since we have not taken it for a long time.



This branch over at Lot 1 is rather new and the ambience it not too bad.





We ordered a few dishes that we have not tried before..mine was a bit spicy but nice.

Bukit Panjang - Light Rapid Transit [LRT]

It has been over 3 years since we last took a LRT from my parent's place. We were not even sure if we still have our EZ-link card available...luckily we still have one each in our wallets..;)






We decided to send in our car for repair yesterday since it's collision with a mini-van 2 weeks ago. I was sending SGFemale to her work and whilst I was reversing out towards the car park exit, my car accidentally collided into the left side of the mini-van. Since it was my fault, I decided to bear all the repair expenses.




It's really kinda of hard when for one to revert back to taking public transportation after many year of driving. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it..;) Our son was very happy and excited whenever we take public transportation...not sure why...I will check with him again when he grows up a bit more..

Modern rubbish bin

Saw some interesting and nice rubbish bins at United Square when we had our lunch at Vienna International Buffet on Monday. It was so cute that I decided to take a few pictures of them.

If only we could have one at home, our son would be happy to see that.
He enjoys throwing away used tissue and wrappers for us, with this cute rubbish bin, we believes he would even signed on to become our full-time errand boy.
