"Meh Meh" Steamboat

ever spent an hour crackin ur head..all becos u jus wan to find a good place for dinner?? we were stuck at Balestier not knowin wher to go for dinner...started driving off when the idea of Bak Kut Teh popped into my head..so off we went to Beach Road...went in rounds looking for a carpark space...bumped into Derrick (my tattoo artist) along the way...come to think of it...my tattoo is still incomplete...better try get it done asap!!! ok...now wat...its obvious we cant get any carpark lot for at least the next 1/2 hour...tats if we get lucky...so heck!!! we decided to give it a miss...continue to drive heading towards Ang Mo Kio cos Kor suddenly suggested we should go for Dim Sum...went pass Balestier again?! thn we spotted IT....a shop selling mutton steamboat!!!! Woohoo!!!! right in the middle of Balestier...

looked at menu...standard sets for 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 persons...but there's only 3 of us...guess its most logical to go for the set dinner for 4 persons...and tats precisely wat we did!! soup base came shortly after we placed our order..

mutton soup with herbs (understand from the waitress tat this soup is boiled for 6 hours to absorb the essence of the mutton and herbs)...sounds super good but we wont know for sure until we tried it...

the rest of the dishes were served...mutton shabu shabu...mutton dumplings...mutton spare parts (liver/kidney/organs blah blah blah)...straw mushroom...tofu...vegetables....mutton ribs...


as usual...some nice pics first before we tuck in...


and a toast to our GREAT dinner!!!!

the dinner was really superb!!! soup base super POWER!!! peeps...if u r lookin for a great steamboat...u can definately try this one out!!! THUMBS UP!!!!

Grandma

woke up pretty early today..bout 1 plus..haha...well, for the past few days i woke up at 3 plus can...ever since Grandma was admitted into hospital on Wed...we have been running in and out of TTSH everyday...after receiving the sms Mummy sent knowing that Grandma had a stroke and admitted into intensive care...my memories took me back to the time when Tereave called me to tell me tat Grandpa passed on...i was out at Beach Road wif some frens...not tat i had anything important to do...just havin dinner...but the fact tat i would rather spend time outside wif my frens thn to visit Grandpa...even after Daddy informed us tat Grandpa is very sick...i was still thinkin tat i could spare some time to visit him over the weekends...i was wrong...very very wrong...Grandpa didnt wait for me...or maybe i should say...he tried his very best to wait for me...but i still didnt turn up...

i held back my tears in front of my frens...but as the guilt set in...and memories of Grandpa flashed in my mind repeatedly...i couldn help crying...tat was my biggest regret in life!!! i really hated myself thn...i promised myself from thn on...tat i would cherish every family member and will never allow this regret to happen twice!!! on my way to TTSH to visit Grandma...i was really quiet...guess i was really scared...afraid to receive any phone calls...when i finally got to the hospital and saw Grandma...u cannot imagine how relieved i was to see Grandma...but she was sleeping...Mummy told me tat one of her blood vessels in the head snapped and she was half paralysed...doc advised tat she's too old to undergo any surgery...medication was her best remedy...there's nothing we could do...only to watch Grandma suffer...she tried speakin..but none of us could make out what she was saying...besides the only "language" Grandma ever spoke..Hainanese...without Daddy as my interpretor...there's no way i m able to converse wif Grandma...through the years...i have been trying hard to learn my own dialect...but becos i was brought up by my maternal Grandma...understanding wat they said in Hainanese was as far as i got...its really difficult to communicate wif Grandma...

now tat i'm living on my own wif Princess...we don't have an alter table...i can't relate my problems to GOD as often as i did in the past...the only thing i could do...is to pray in my heart...hoping tat GOD hears my prayers...bless Grandma a speedy recovery...Grandpa! Please watch over Grandma...dun take her away so soon...let her witness her first grandchild...
