11/05/2003, Sunday. Mother's Day



today is Mother's day, also my mother's 55th birthday... (crashing of these dates occurs every few years.., so we no need to celebrate twice.. hehe..) ...we original want to go Yum Cha Restaurant ( at Chinatown) t ohave lunch..but there is full house.. so we went to the nearby hawker centre at Niu Che Sui Da Xia (Chinatown Complex), we ate a lot of dim sum there..... some deserts and a dish named "Zhu Jiao Dong", where pork legs are put in pork oil to solidify in the fridge.. looks like jelly... but it's too oily, and not tasty.. but my father likes it.. don't know why also...



then my mother pulled my sis and me to the nearby Chinatown Heritage Centre (Yuan Mao Guan), located at Pagoda Street.. It's a place where 3 shophouses are being restored to look like shop houses of the past... We took a look on the ground floor, outside the entrance.. there's also a restored coffee shop where drinks like milo and horlick are served, most of the furniture are restored from the original old furniture.. quite a good place to visit...



I went to West Mall alone after that, planning to shop for a pair of earphones to spoilt myself for the month... i went to Harvey Norman and bought a pair of Panasonic Clip-on earphones, for $22... although the quality is not as good as those $80+, it's already good enough for my music enjoyment..
