Alamak... ok, I surrender!
By popular demand, here's a photo of THE toilet cum bathroom, taken before I officially moved in.
My apologies to the keen toilet peeps that the toilet bowl is out of view in this photo! Need me to take an updated toilet shot or not?
Anyways, that space beside the shower stall has since been taken up by my washing machine cum dryer liao. -

The tram is kinda like those in Hong Kong
But HK's are double deckers -
Sometimes, if you watch the trams when they pass by, there'll be ZZZzzzzzt!! Piak!! ... sparks of electricity coming out from the wires on top!Originally posted by sbst275:The tram is kinda like those in Hong Kong

Are they the only mode of tpt there?

For public transport, the trams and trains are the main modes. The trams are safe lah! Not to worry! I LOVE to see the electricity sparks! They're like mini fireworks! Sometimes orange, sometimes blue, sometimes blue then yellow and orange!Originally posted by sbst275:OMG...

Here's the first meal I cooked in my new kitchen!
In case you can't guess what was in my lunchbox, it was chai bor ng (Preserved Turnips Omelette) with Stir Fried Broccolini and Oyster Mushrooms!
Broccolini is one hybrid veg (Kana Chai married da Broccoli and gave birth to da Broccolini! ) that came out in the US about two or three years back and I've been DYING to try it and FINALLY, I got to eat it! I love the broccolini! The stems are long and slender and tasty like the kana chai whilst the heads are like mini broccoli! Brilliant! Easy to prepare too! Just cut a bit off the ends, and cook whole if you're lazy to cut them up!
BTW, is the Broccolini available in Singapore yet? -
do they still have the "roller" types of the thing on top? or are they all rails now?
the roller ones keep falling off the cable and the driver or the conductor (they had them in the past) had to come off the tram and put it back with a nylon ropeOriginally posted by Rhonda:Sometimes, if you watch the trams when they pass by, there'll be ZZZzzzzzt!! Piak!! ... sparks of electricity coming out from the wires on top! -
How much have you spent on making life comfy? Believe me I've been there far too many times.

Broccolini
I thought we already all along have these on the markets? -
I don't think so but it sounds like something from monsatan

Only have pics taken when the bedroom was still unfurnished. Alamak! Haven't taken a photo of my bedroom after the double bed's been moved in!Originally posted by elindra:What about pics of your bedroom? Will do so tonight, k?
Bear's sis commented when she went into my bedroom, "Boxes here and there, just like my apt!" (Because I still haven't bought all the furniture I need so the boxes act as tabletops for my heaters.
