The lunch affair!
** Photo on left: My eat-in lunch (called ka-pow bought at NUS PGP & my Watermelon-Orange freshly squeeze fruit juice!) today at office!
Today's lunch was eat-in again! My 3rd lunch food pack from NUS PGP this week.. I have been buying from NUS PGP (and ONLY the Thai Muslim store which fry the ka-pow which you see on the left!) like on Monday, Tuesday and today! Yesterday was at NUS PGP, but at different food court.. the reason why I keep going back there? Not many lunch kakkis.. and again, the happy one.. if the happy one is not here, then my lunch wld be eat-in or NUS PGP.. not that I'm complaining though!
(Btw, I've learnt to eat this ka-pow dish when I was in Thailand during 2004 for mission trip!.. so ya.. now you koe why I was so attached to this dish?) =)
Today I went back to the NUS PGP Thai Muslim store, and when I go back there, both aunties in the store see me so happy, and machiam like old friend.. hahax.. just on Tuesday, she thanked me for patrionising at her stall.. so I think I went back today, she felt happy.. and its like now I'm a regular of her stall liaox!.. I go there, and shout "Aunty" with my megawatt smile, and then they both like greeted me like old friends.. hahax.. then I told them wat I wanted (which I tried almost everything there liaox, and decides tat their ka-pow was the best!), then last time, I order the ka-pow with chicken wing and hence, instead of $3.50 for the ka-pow set, I paid a dollar more for my chicken wing..
Today I go back, the aunty automatically ask me whether I want to add chicken wing.. I actually didnt want to becos very hard to lose 3kg leh, then now eat chicken wing, machiam like I'm going to die liaox lah! But I cldn't reject the aunty becos she like ask me so earnest and sincere, so I oblige in the end lah..
Then I got the shock of my life.. she said she give me discount, $0.50.. by right the ka-pow set + my chicken wing shld cost me $4.50, but becos I was her regular customer, she only charge me $4.00! So good right! =)..
Then after which, went to my office canteen and bought a cup of fruit juice.. I always drink the same combination: Watermelon & Orange! =).. so ya.. tat costs me another $2..
Though my lunch is expensive, but its worth it lah! Yummy.. thinking of my ka-pow, I'm drooling again lah!
** Photo on right: My new form of entertainment! Starhub Cable TV! I'm lovin it!
Today I got a call from Starhub Cable TV Sales Consultant, becos a few days ago, I made an enquiry about their new package (the lifestyle basic group + the various basic upsize package!).. and guess wat.. I actually upgraded my package and man.. I got lotsa channels on my TV now.. even my family is enjoying it, esp. my mum! Ha.. So here is a breakdown of all the channels (both new and old) that I have on my screens now:
