Today was payday for me and it meant that I was supposed to pop to a nearby branch of POSB or DBS Bank to put in my pay cheque in the Quick Cheque Deposit.

The bus ride took me to Suntec City, which was perfect as I needed to get a birthday card for Darling, my long time blogger friend, as her birthday is coming on Tuesday. I have arranged with Stephanie to pay her a visit on Monday evening, so I should pass her the card then. I hope she likes the card, as I liked the words that was written on the card, which really describes our friendship in the close to 4 years that we know each other.

Since mum said that she was not cooking for the night, decided to walk around & search for food. MOF- My Isakaya, a Japanese resturant that was recommended by Wendy mei on her blog. I was surprised by the big serving of the salmon bento that I ordered. And I had the opportunity to try the desert as shown in the picture. I thought that the glutinous rice balls and the green tea ice-cream was great, just that the red bean was a tad too sweet. You will be surprised that there was no wasabi found on the serving, instead I had to dip the salmon in hot water to enjoy the real taste.

I felt that the price was reasonable at about $25 after POSB/DBS card discount, where I had the bento set, green tea, hot tea, & the desert. It is certainly worth a try for this.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
