Bad Maintenance of Baby Care Room

Spotted at BHG Departmental Store (Formerly Seiyu) at Bugis Junction. Tiny Cockroaches running everywhere!! I was washing Callum's face towel at the sink and I saw almost 10 roaches! I have feedbacked to the sales staff and she just said, ok I will call the cleaners. Maybe she thought is a dead cockroach. Sigh. Hope they solve this pest problem soon.

Happy Birthday Singapore!

Happy 42th Birthday Singapore!

Rainbows!

Saw some rainbows as I was driving back home.
Think this is the first time I ever see 2 rainbows together (the other rainbow is not that obvious). Click on picture for larger size picture.











A clearer picture of rainbow but just one rainbow.

Inappropriate but so cute!!

Check out this video.
The little girl name is Pearl, she is so cute in this video, co-starring with Will Ferrell. They taught her to swear but fortunately, she is too young to remember those words. Also check out the out-takes on their website.



Also check out a very pregnant Jenna Elfman (Spoof) video where she plays street basketball. Hilarious!

A Phone Call

"BBBbbbrrrrrr"

Realised that my mobile phone is vibrating.
Thought to myself, "HHmmmm ..... this number has been on my phone before as a miss call. Wonder which pesky bank, health spa place is calling again."

Me: "Hello?"

Sales Person: "Hello! Is this Miss Audrey See?"

Me: "Yes, speaking"

SP: "Oh, I'm calling from XXX Studio, Blah Blah Blah ..... yadi dah.......!, we are interested in inviting you down for a free makeover photo shoot."

Me: "It's ok, i'm not free. I just gave birth, don't think i'll have the time."

SP: "Oh ..... so sorry. It's okay then. Thank You! Have a nice day!"

*Click!*

Me: *???!!!!!!!*

IKEA Tampines

We decided to drop by IKEA at Tampines after our dinner. We been to Giant (across IKEA) twice but this is the first time we going IKEA. I was expecting large crowd of people but to my surprise, there isn't really alot. I think most of them are at Giant.

We were told that there are carpark lots that are meant for families, and we kept a look-out for them as we are looking for parking space. We found them near the entrance. I think its a pretty cool idea and its the little thing like these that make you appreciate them more. I just hope that there are no selfish Singaporeans (with no real use of those parking lots) that parked there just because its nearer to the entrance. Sigh, guess its just wishful thinking?

Family-Friendly Parking Lots
























Hmm.... there are even parking lots for trolleys and shopping bags. Nice.
























Very large self-service section and that's just half of it.























All-in-all, I think that IKEA Tampines is really big since it took us about 90 mins to walk finish the whole place and all we got was a basket and a towel (which we use as floor mat). But I still prefer IKEA Alexander, I think it provide me a more cosy feeling.

Btw, do you know that IKEA is top 5 richest people around?

The Five Rules of Money for Children

Came across this article on BusinessWeek.com, called The Five Rules of Money for Children. It offers methods of communicating the concept of money to children. Basically, this article touches on:

1. A penny saved is a penny earned.
2. Stick to the budget.
3. Learn the power of interest.
4. Stay out of debt.
5. Giving back is the best gift.

I think even adults can learn a thing or two from this article.

Ramen and Night Photography

After work today, Audrey and I took some time to go do our photography class "homework". We are suppose to take some photos during the evening "magic" hour (roughly around 7.30pm). We are suppose to take some night shots too. Well, we decided to take scene around Gallery Hotel cause we can go eat ramen after that.

Well, got to work before getting the reward.
Here are some photos we took, look good?

Photo is taken outside 'Book Cafe'.













Photo taken of 'Gallery Hotel' near to the magic hour.
Photo is framed by Audrey.


















The picture (below) is taken outside of
'The Quayside' which is near to Gallery Hotel.
It happen to be a full moon night too....

After an hour of photo taking, we were getting hungry. We wanted to try the ramen at 'Miharu Japanese Noodles' which is located at Gallery Hotel but it turns out that they are closed on Wednesday. Never trust all that you read on newspaper! On one of the Sunday Times, they reviewed this place and states that they open daily.

Luckily for us, there are several other ramen places around an d we decided to 'Ichibantei Ramen (The Quayside)' which was also reviewed by the same article in Sunday Times.

I can't remember what noodle we ordered but it very good.
Each noodle cost under $10 which I think its quite reasonable.
After dinner, we went to take a stroll and also take more photos.

We spotted some interesting buildings across Gallery Hotel.
(Below) It looks like some new shophouses that got refurbished and looking for new tenant. Look good in the night.. abit gothic?

A new condo behind those shophouses.
The moon was partially covered by clouds but I like the effect.

Look forward to more of our photos...
