Mum's 60th Birthday

On fri 27th Mar, Mum celebrated her 60th birthday. I decided to take leave that day to spend time with her. In the morning, we go swimming @ Yishun safra club. Few years back, she have took up swimming to reduce her back pain but i have never go swimming with her before. I am impressed by her professionalism, cos she was wearing a swimming cap to protect her hair and she offer me the sun block lotion =Oo .... I did not prepare all these at all...lol. And, i am more impressed when she managed to swim a very short distance ~ abt 2m and always try to keep close to the side, but is really not bad already..cos i wld never imagine mum can swim!

After which in the afternoon we go shopping @ Jurong Point in Boon Lay. we try the dessert @ "Ji De Chi". The mall get very crowded near evening time and we didn't see anything that we wan to buy. Abt evening time, dad, my bros and anne joined us for dinner @ a seafood restaurant. I surprised mum with a bouquet of red roses (this is the lst time she rece a bouquet of flower :p) and a birthday cake. The dinner is filling and nice too :) She seem very happy with the roses cos she hold on close to her thereafter :D

Prison Break

Another weekends spent on facing the LCD....being catching the American serial drama televsion series ~ Prison Break dvds. Is about this bro who plan the escape from the prison to save his elder bro who had been frame for murdering the vice=president's bro, fight for their iinnocence & how they try to get the organisation down who have support from the govt. The show capture our attention from the start, is excited, makes one want to keep on watching. One season have about 22plus episodes, there are 4 seasons and im only half way through season 2. This is the first english drama that have made me want to chase after the show, great show.

Online games

Recently have hooked on to a new game in facebook ~ rock legend. Sometime game can be additive, This is the second game in facebook i have addicted to, the lst one is "Bowling Bubby". I have spend some late nites & whole day trying to level up, solving quest & battle against the other bands. It can be quite frustrating when the band members you have recuited is bought away by other band....etc. Is fun but i have to try pull away from the game else my panda eyes will be getting deeper & my household work will be piled up..ha. Finally today managed to work on the housework, having a clean house make one feel good too =)

On fri, have watched the Oscar winning film ~ Slumdog Millonaire. The storyline is unique, interesting and one that would make one feel good & happy at the end of the show. I like the Indian's dance at the end, very organised and fun.

Dinner on 24 Feb 09

On Tues, 24 Feb, zq decided to practise his cooking in my kitchen again. =p He prepared the Herbal chicken, Steam Fish & Vege. Though the chicken not as fresh...think is cos didn't have time to let it de-froze, the vege a bit salty, fish is gd. Good attempt :)
