My reward from the arcade

Recently "two old kids" got hooked to the UFO catcher at Jurong East arcade "Zone-X". Whenever we go out for dinner, we would ended up heading for Jurong East. Why? The answer is above, on the first line. Our main motive is not to have dinner there but to go arcade to try our luck!

Last week, both of us were very impressed when we saw one uncle who is in his late fourties hooking up a toy. He aimed one of the hook into the neck of the toy and he manage to hook up the whole toy! It was so amazing!

SGMale decided to give it a try! But ended up losing his "hard-earned" $50 bucks to the "hungry" UFO catcher. As for me, I became bored after standing beside him, doing nothing, just watching him donating money into 'nothingness'. It was truly a very discouraging sight...;(

After much hesitations, I decided to give the one other machine a try!
With $6 investment, I got two cute little toys for our son.
I am sure he will like it.


Aren't they cute?

Lady luck is with me!

Today is a very special day for me. Know why?
Is it because I don't have to work today?
Is it because it's my "tai-tais" life again?
No, no, no.

The answer is: I finally passed my final theory evaluation today!
I have suffered 8 failures altogether friend R! Both of us were so close to passing every time, making us very 'Twee' and angry with ourselves with each failure. Would anyone out there know about our feelings?

But finally I passed it today, with a score of 92%, although it's wasn't a very good score cos the passing score is 90%. But who cares! SGMale was very happy for me, and gave me a treat at Yacht Club together with our son. Both the 3 of us ended up going home with a bloated tummy. Painful but happy bloated!

Dinner at Republic of Singapore Yacht Club

SGFemale finally passed her final theory evaluation test..she was so so so happy. As a reward for her, I decided to give her a treat!

After fetching our son from the childcare centre, we drove down to the Singapore Yacht Club which is somewhere near West Coast. The food there is good and to some extent economical. This is already our 2nd time eating dinner here.








Below are some of the dishes we have ordered.


Wharf platter



Spicy otah wings

Losing money to UFO Catcher

Went down to arcade with SGFemale last evening, I spent more than $50 bucks on playing the UFO catcher and guess what, I did not manage to catch a single toy after 'donating' more than $50 bucks.

Lesson learnt: Playing the UFO catcher at the arcade can be highly addictive..why didn't anyone set up a hotline for rehabitating those addicted to the UFO catcher...
