Chicken pox during pregnancy

In 2005 I contracted chicken pox. I continue to consume Bing Han ginseng and even applied the powder on my sores and amazingly I was cleared of chicken pox within 3 days.

Unfortunately I was pregnant at that time so my gynecologist recommended that I aborted the baby as it is highly likely that the virus would have affected my unborn baby.

However I insisted on carrying through with my pregnancy and again I was blessed with a healthy baby boy.

Wallet Friendly Public Transportation in Singapore

I really liked Singapore's public transportation cos it has gotten better over the years.

A very good example is how the fare is now calculated based on your JOURNEY, meaning you can go from point A to point B with various modes of transport (bus and MRT) and the fares are adjusted according to your final destination, which is seen as a whole rather than individual trip.

EXAMPLE to travel from Harbourfront (Sentosa) to Bedok blok 534 I would need to take the MRT then change to bus.

Under standard fare calculations it would be SS1.66 for the MRT ride and then S$0.73 for bus ride BUT under the new system the total fare would be S$1.70 only!! Wow!!

But note that you'll need a singapore EZ-Link card to enjoy these rates.

Another cool point is this system is that it allows you 45 minutes of transit time between stops.

The full terms of the TRANSFER RULES are:-

1) Maximum of 5 transfers within a single journey, with a 45 minute allowance between each transfer.
2) All journeys must be completed within 2 hours.
3) Single entry and exit for rail travel.
4) Same bus service number must not be taken more than once in a journey.

Can we have cleaner highways please!!

Was in Bangkok last month and the moment I was in the taxi I noticed something which I never see in Kuala Lumpur.

Highways which are "posters-free"!!

There are NO
Bank Lelong (bank auction of properties) or
Ah Long (loan sharks) or
Urut (massage) ads..

Nothing!! All the pillars and road signs were completely "clean", devoid of any stickers or ads!!

Compare these with what we Kuala Lumpur drivers face everyday...

What have the Thai government or local authority done differently?? Hmm...

KFC Egg Tarts

Had dinner in KFC, KLCC recently and was tempted by the picture of the Blueberry Cheese Egg Tart. At RM1.90 each, heck why not give it a try!

VERDICT:-
The actual product is really short.. I meant caved in.. but taste wise.. not bad considering the pastry is quite fluffy.

But if you expect a tart that looks like the picture, well you need a reality check =D

Asiathique Riverfront Night Market

A funny thing happened during my trip to Bangkok, Thailand.

We were happily walking around this new night market venue called Asiathique (for how to get to Asiathique, jump right to the bottom half).

We were happily exploring Asiathique especially since it's quite big with a few buildings which they numbered as  "Warehouse 1", "Warehouse 2" and so on.

Then we came to the eateries or restaurants section when we saw this guy and girl standing about 10 feet across each other, motionless.. looking at each other.

We were stumped.. like.. what is happening?? Is he proposing to the girl or something cos they were like exactly across each other, not moving and standing still.

But when we look around us, we noticed the same thing with everyone around us.. Then only we noticed the place was playing a song.. Thailand's national anthem!

Wow!! Such respect for the national anthem! Not sure what will happen in Kuala Lumpur if the shopping malls like Sogo played Negaraku (the name of Malaysia's national anthem), would anyone notice and show respect.

Kudos to the Thai government for instilling love for all things Thai!

ASIATHIQUE Riverfront
Getting there:-
You can take a cab there but the best experience is by FREE shuttle boat just adjacent to Taksin skytrain (BTS) station.

Note:-
1) The place is only open from 5pm so the boat only starts about 430pm. We were there early so we killed time at a shopping mall nearby Taksin BTS station. The boat ride takes about 30minutes.

2) Go there early as there can be quite a long queue for the boat ride from Taksin station at night.

3) A good itinerary is to go Asiatique, then take the shuttle boat from Asiathique to Taksin boat station, from there change to another boat to Chinatown.

The boat ride from Taksin to Chinatown station by boat costs 20Baht per person. It takes about 3- 4 stops to reach. Ask around for help on when to alight.

From the Chinatown boat station, take a tuk tuk to Chinatown to eat at the famous T n K seafood (their staffs wear green shirts).

I tried to walk from the boat station to T n K - it's too far and felt dangerous since it was already nightime. Plus there are plenty of tuk tuk waiting at the boat station and they are quite cheap.. so save your energy and take tuk tuk.

The food at T n K is quite good but definitely cheaper than KL and the plus points are the prices are already written in the menu, so you wont be overcharged later.

We had a steamed fish, seafood tomyam, grilled prawns, kangkung vegetables, rice and coke for 700 Baht. What a feast!

Tips on choosing Bridal Bouquets

Just a simple tip..

Below is photo of the bouquet which I chose from a flower shop in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur. Note it's RM100.

And this is what I get!! First and foremost it's looks completely different. So managed to reduce it to RM80.

Notice the withering flower on bottom left

Total paid for the bouquet - RM80

Secondly the pink casablanca lily flowers were withering... Cause of it? The stalks were too short! Turned out the stalks were too short for all of them.

So halfway through my wedding registration, I plucked out ALL the lilies and left with a rose bouquet :(

Moral of the story? Next time you want to choose a bouquet, DO NOT choose with one with casablanca lily cos naturally florist would want to maximize their profits so they will use all the blooms in one main stalk, meaning you'll end up with short stalks for each bloom which will wither in matter of hours since the cut stalks are too short and unable to get any water.

Sigh.. had it been a good and honest florist, they would have pack some cotton and water for each short stalks.. but this was not done in my case.. So sad.. :(

So brides-to-be out there.. Be smart and choose your bouquet and types of flowers wisely!!

Scholl Party Feet - Soft Touch vs Ultra Slim

I had this killer heel at home which I planned to wear for my wedding. Since I'll be up on my feet for long hours, I best prepare some soft cushioning for it.

Tried two of Scholl's products => Party Feet Soft Touch and Ultra Slim

Supposedly only for closed shoes and boots
but front opened shoes are ok EXCEPT it's too slippery :(

Helped to remove the pain but good only for
a few hours on killer heels.
Would definitely work longer on normal heels!

VERDICT:-

1) Ultra Slim gel is nice and not slippery. Soft Touch is way to soft and slippery.

Trust me - your feet will inadvertently slip down to the front, adding huge pressure to your feet and crushing all your poor toes at the same time.

Soft Touch only works if it's flat shoes.. but then who would want sole cushioning for flats??

2) Soft Touch is more difficult to use as there's no direction on the cushion itself - whether it's for the left or right side.. You have to use your brain and try to understand the english direction:-

"Peel protective film off cushion. Insert cushion into front of shoe sticky side down with the pointed end facing the heel"

Err... come again??

3) Ultra Slim is slightly cheaper than Soft Touch

SO there you have it... Need I say more? Ultra Slim wins hand down!!

My "Taken" experience

Recently watch the movie Taken on DVD.

Very good movie as I feel this kind of "taken" situation could happen to anyone since people like to travel nowadays and generally when you are on vacation you are not that alert to strangers whom you meet especially good looking ones ;p

Me and my friend recently had.. well almost encountered a "could-have-been-taken" situation.

What happened was when travelling in Jakarta, Indonesia, people always recommend taking Blue Bird or Silver Bird taxis but sometimes, it's not that easy to be choosy especially during rush hour.

So we hopped onto an unfamiliar brand of taxi. Normally we would not be bothered at all except the fact that:-

1) the taxi driver kept turning back and ask us where we are from, where we are staying, when are we flying back to Kuala Lumpur.

2) then he turned and asked whether he can send us to the airport. We promptly answered no and lied about a "friend" who will be sending us off.

3) later, and this was the one who made us alert and real suspicious, I saw him texting on his phone a short message but I couldnt understand his lingo but I distinctly read the word "Kuala Lumpur" in the message and that made us really worried.

Instantly many thoughts raced through our minds, including him maneuvering to a deserted spot where we can be easily "taken".

It didnt help that prior to boarding the taxi we saw a leg-less female beggar at the side of the road and me and my friend talked about a scene in "Slumdog Millionaire" where the bad guys intentionally blinded a perfectly healthy boy just to make him pitiful and qualified to be a beggar.

Naturally we felt the urge to jump out of the taxi but then we thought that we could be making a mountain out of a molehill.

So thank God at that moment I received a text message.. I used the opportunity to pretend to pick up the phone and to speak to a "friend" who was waiting for us at our destination at Plaza Senayan. I then ask when we will reach Plaza Senayan and the taxi driver answered 10 minutes.

We were so relieved to finally reach Plaza Senayan. And we were pleasantly surprised to see Hong Kong actor Michael Wong in one of the shops, obliging photo opportunity for those standing around. Such a nice guy and so fit for his age!

A very fit and slim Michael Wong @ 47 years old
