Ha!Ha! It was national day yesterday and the Cheoks had a pot luck at Poh Choo's house to watched the parade. The fireworks could be seen from the flat. Seems that HDB Pinnacle in Duxton Plain is charging $4 to go up to the bridge, following Marina Bay Sands which is charging $20. The Blogger has problems in uploading pictures so you need to go to Flicker to look at the pics for the meantime.
Wallow! Look at the first pic! Why is Mybakuteh so pleased on Sat? Well she is having a free chicken rice meal with coke from Jetstar whose plane to the gondola ride is 4 hours 15 min late. First time stranded in Singapore! But lucky Changi offer free movie theatre so went to T 3 and watched free movie. But alamat... 45 mins more can claim insurance...Any way Jet star give a nice both way flights and all is forgiven! Read in the papers that Tiger Air had the same problem with their flight to gondola land too on Sunday. They offer Hong Kong in replacement.
Back to Vietnam. You can see video of bargaining on the boat. The big ticket item was the embrodiered table cloth which started off at $30 US. My bakuteh knocked it down to $10 but she wanted $13! After hearing her story of buying the boat for US$500 and only able to do three days work here due to queue and spending 3 weeks to sew the cloth, we had to relent. In fact we we told to give $2-3 tip so we settled for US3. Then the young 21 year old mother of a seven month baby said nicely, Mister give $3 and Missy must give $2. We obliged of course until she asked for anothe $3.
Some action went on in Perth last weekend.
Happy birthday to Lins who had a little celebration at Margaret River. May the year ahead be a happy and memorable one! 
It was or choot night at the National Day pot luck - that was what Mybakuteh cooked up with nice coconut gravy. Was a sold out for sure.
Today is Tuesday and this will be a short week as the Indianboyfriend will be heading for Kuching for work on Thursday.
Have a Great Day and keep on looking at the holiday pics!!!
