... and also with the whole village which included the 2 Grannies, Grandfather, Grand uncle, Mommy and of course, the fishball head (Justin).
Jaslynn was really excited and was badgering the Mar Mar (Grandmother) to let her wear the uniform since morning. She was also asking every 5 mins when the school bus would be arriving (I'm exaggerating of course!)
The time finally came to get ready for school and Jaslynn couldn't wait to put on her brand new socks and school shoes courtesy of Mommy.
And off we go !!
Where's my school bus ?!?!
Jaslynn sends out junior recce to check....(Junior recce reports : not here yet !)
Not really trusting the junior recce, Jaslynn sends out the senior recce after 5 mins (Senior recce: dunno where this junior recce was looking..... anyway, still not here yet !!)
Leon, Terence, Wendy and I took part in the Caltex National karting challenge last Friday, 5 Oct. We were all very excited as it was the 1st time that we are taking part in an official competition. The most I had done was karting at Genting Highlands many years ago.
The track was at East Coast carpark E1, near the Ski 360 and East Coase Seafood Centre. When we were about to reach the place, got a call from the organiser asking if we're there. Wah, so good. Or so I thought.
When we reached the registration counter, the organisers told us that "due to some delays, could we come back tomor (Sat) for our slot." We were like "Huh?" Cannot lah. You think we so free meh? Somemore I took leave leh ! Then they said, in that case, we would have to wait for them to call us. Boh bian (no choice) lor, can only sit around and wait.
Waited until about 5.15pm (our slot was 4.30pm, we were there abt 4pm) and my cousin (Leon) checked with them regarding our slot. He came back and told us that it was not possible to kart today. Just when we were about to leave, the organisers called us and said they managed to squeeze us into the last slot for the day. Great !!
And we were off !!!!
It was really fun. Much better than Gentings definitely. And the kart we had were also better than the one we had during the practice session at Taman Jurong.
When we were on our last driver (Terence), an accident happened. A lady driver crashed into the tyres. The back of her kart was lifted off the ground momentarily. Think she was quite shaken. There were some confusion as some of the marshals were asking people to slow down, and some were asking people to stop.
In the end, the safety marshal blew the horn and everyone had to stop and the race was ended prematurely. Anyway, we didn't really do badly. Our timing was 13m 46.7s. The fastest team clocked 11min flat. Most of the teams were doing on average 14 - 15 min.
As we were about to leave, there were 2 cars (a nissan dunno what and a toyota altis) doing some drifting demos. So much rubber burnt !
Came across this video on Youtube. This guy called buffalax creates his own subtitles for foreign films. Result is simply hilarious. Reminds me of the subtitles I see on pirated English language DVDs from China.

For my Dad's birthday dinner, we were actually looking at a few hotels that had international buffets. But in the end, Daddy chose the steamboat restaurant at Golden Mile Complex, which we often go to when we were young.
It had been quite a while since we last went there for steamboat. Things didn't really changed much. Especially the delicious chicken rice, which I used to gobble all up before the food was even ready :)
We invited Daddy's brother (Sa Chek - no.3 uncle, as he's no.3 in the family) and his family along for the dinner too. The food there isn't exactly cheap, but not too expensive also. I'm sure those of you who have been there would agree that the price is reasonable.
Anyway, Jaslynn and Justin had loads to eat, and the 2 oldies (my dad and Sa Chek) had a lot of fun playing with them.
Jaslynn enjoying her steamboat with her 'mahz mahz' and kenny 'shu shu' (uncle).
Justin telling Chek Gong (Grand Uncle) how many fishballs he wants. Actually, Chek Gong also dunno what he's wispering.

After dinner, as we were walking to the carpark, one sharp eye observer (who is it?) noticed a cafe with this signboard. Guess you can tell its significance?
After the sumptous steamboat dinner, we proceeded to the Singapore Recreation Club (SRC) for some karaoke session. The room was quite big and had a very nice view of the padang and Supreme Court. Wasted my mom's Olympus (u740) camera couldn't take a nice night scene pic.
Jaslynn and Justin telling Kenny what songs they wanted. Justin tot it was a touch screen. Me too.
The Wong oldies belting out a duet. Anyone knows why is Leon laughing so heartily in the background?
The highlight of the evening. The cake was made of very rich chocolate. Almost like eating a chocolate bar.
Oi ! Who pushed me ! Tot should be saboing (sabotage) the birthday boy?
To end the evening, we had Jaslynn showing off her dance moves !!!
