When two hobbies combine! (Update)
It’s been long since I touched my camera. So while looking at my fishes last night, I got the sudden idea of photographing my fishes!
All the other fishes except my Ram are too way too fast to be photographed, at least at my skill level. So, here’s the photo of my Ram.
The Ram
The Amano Algae Eating Shrimp
I particularly like how nicely the macro mode of the camera works, capturing all the details almost very easily.
Mind Cafe (again)!
To make use of our membership cards, The Mafia Family went back to The Mind Cafe yesterday night to enjoy the members’ night free boardgaming!
On top of that, a surprise birthday celebration was in stall for my brother and yanwen. Yanwen thought at first that it was only a celebration for my brother, and got so shocked when she heard her name in the second birthday song! HAHAHA, she even sang along until she heard her name! Wah seh, big success! HAHA.
The two Leo babies
We took quite alot of pictures and even two videos of us playing the “Jurrasic Jumble”, a hilarious game that gets very noisy! HAHA.
For Family Members who want the pictures, here’s the link for the self extracting archive of all the pictures and videos. Just download and run the file here.
41 Days
is how long we delayed the celebration for Boss’ 22nd birthday. So long that she never suspected a thing when we planned the gathering, thinking it was just any other catching up session. HAHAHA!
The Family met up at The Mind Cafe yesterday evening to celebrate our beloved Boss’ birthday very belatedly. Although it wasn’t my first time there, the rest of the family members were surprised at how comfortable the place was. Good ambiance, loads of games and world class service! The staff there tended to all our ridiculous demands promptly and with a smile the whole time!
It’s been long since I had such senseless fun! lol. Hope boss enjoyed the evening, and we are definitely going back there again!
Like it’s my birthday sia! HAHA

Shimbashi Soba Restaurant
You haven’t tasted the best soba (japanese buckwheat noodles) in Singapore if you haven’t been to Shimbashi Viagra Soba at Paragon basement 1.
The moment we pass by the japanese restaurant, we saw a japanese soba master making fresh soba noodles by hand, meaning we will get the freshest soba noodle right from the shop.
While waiting for a table, the friendly japanese manager even came out to bow and apologise to each and every customer in the queue. And on top of that, he gave us a small booklet introducing the soba noodles and the origins of the shop which retails at $12, free.
When we got in after around 10 mins of waiting, the friendly waiters gave us ample time to decide on our order and came immediately when we were ready.
I ordered the Shoukadou Set A which came with teriyaki chicken, salmon sashimi and fish fillet.
One thing worth mentioning is that the salmon sashimi is really fresh and every bite was a total enjoyment! lol.
Yanwen on the other hand, ordered the cold Seiro Soba.
IT WAS HEAVENLY! Alot better than the hot soba i chose for my set. The hot soba i had was quite normal but the cold soba is really really good! The noodle is cooked just right, neither too soft nor too hard and the springy feeling you have when you chew it is indescribable. I will definitely choose the cold soba over the hot one next time.
We ordered a side dish of tempura soft shell crab as well, and this was how it looked like.
On the overall, we really enjoyed the meal and the very good service although it was rather expensive. All that we ordered cost around $45 in all! But really, the quality of the food and excellent service somehow justified the high price.
Tempted? Go try go try! You will be planning another visit even before you finish your food. HAHA.
P.S: This meal was made possible by Yanwen who paid for it in celebration of our 6 months together. Thanks Dear, for such an enjoyable night!

But now, ORD LOH! Finally, the wait is over!

I’m BACK!
Hello everyone! After 3 days in Malaysia (of Viagra cheap which 1.5 day was used for travelling), your beloved JiaTao is finally back! I’m sure you all missed me badly, I miss you guys too! lol.
The trip was generally not bad, mainly because of the super nice weather (ALWAYS cooling!), the picturesque landscape and of course the beautiful plants! We visited the famous BOH tea plantation and its factories, various strawberry farms, a bee farm, went into the clouds at the local meteorological station, prayed at the temple, ate more bacon than I ever eaten my whole life during the breakfast at the hotel, ate steamboat with super fresh vegetables for two freaking times, went to the night market every night and finally visited a waterfall on our way down. (lol, I hope I didn’t miss out any places)
I think the most interesting place would be the meteorological station on top of a hill. Because it is so high up, the station is actually inside the clouds! So when we got down from the van that ferried us around that day, we were all on cloud nine! lol.
Really gotta thank my forth uncle for organising this trip, can tell that he really did alot of research on the places to visit and all, from sourcing tour buses right down to our accomodation, it’s hard work!
