Just a week before Chinese New Year, Jasmine dated GF and I out for a lunch gathering at Skinny Pizza. Despite the heavy rain, the three of us still went on with our date.
This is my first time trying out Skinny Pizza. Let's see how skinny is their pizza:
We started off with Truffle Fries.
Our first pizza: The English Breakfast.
Wow, an unusual pizza. This is my first time seeing an egg on top of a pizza. So interesting.
The crust is really thin and crispy, you will hear the crackling sound with every bite.
Our second pizza: Ginger Butter Pizza.
The pizza is served with healthy lashings of greens topping and juicy strips of curry chicken. Yummy and delicious.
Thanks Jasmine for the lunch treat, I enjoyed it very much.
We walked around Plaza Singapura after the lunch as it was still raining heavily outside. To our surprise, we saw a huge crowds gathering at the atrium of Plaza Singapura. So we decided to check it out. Look, TVB stars had came to Singapore:
Meet the TVB stars Kenneth Ma 马国明, Edwin Siu 蕭正楠, Nancy Wu 胡定欣 and Ron Ng 吴卓羲.
Ron Ng.
Each of them sang us a song.
GF and I were discussing below that Ron's dressing today resembled our friend, TZ.
Nancy Wu.
She is so pretty.
Edwin sang us the song - 十年.
It's a very nice song, I love the lyric.
十年 之前
我不认识你你不属于我
我们还是一样陪在一个陌生人左右
走过渐渐熟悉的街头
十年 之后
我们是朋友还可以问候
只是那种温柔再也找不到拥抱的理由
情人最后难免沦为朋友
Everybody is waiting for Kenneth Ma.
Even uncles like him too.
Recently just finished watching the TVB drama - Three Kingdoms 回到三国. I loved his character, it's so hilarious, especially the part where he taught Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei how to use the word "死八婆". Damn funny.
Kenneth Ma is 39 years old this year and he still look so young.
I also want to look young too.
It was a fruitful trip out. Not only do I managed to catch up with my girls, I get to meet the TVB stars.

In a blink of an eye, we had come to the 15th day of the first lunar month which was also known as Yuan Xiao Jie (元宵节). Yuan Xiao Jie marked the end of our Chinese New Year celebration. On this special day, I had a great family gathering with my relatives.
Chinese New Year become the only time where everyone will come together and communicate with actions. Maintaining strong family ties is important, they are the ones that will always be there for you when you need them.
One thing I had noticed during this Chinese New Year between the older and younger generations:
For the older generations like my parents, uncles and aunts, they were so happy to see each other when they met and had endless topics to chat about. Whereas for the younger generation, throughout the house visits, their eyes were fixed on the phones.
This make me realised how scary the world has become. Though technology has greatly improved our lives and standard of living, but it is also reducing the opportunity for face-to-face contact with people. I remembered how I used to look forward to Chinese New Year when I was young, where we eat, laugh, and play together. Now I am missing the old good times, I need to get myself more engaged in family involvement.
Went to my cousin's house early that day because my parents wanted to go over and play mahjong.
While the adults were playing mahjong, we entertained ourselves with car racing.
Learning from Yong on how to master the gear and mix like a DJ.

Yong had this DJ set at his home.
Hmmm, why are there so many people gathering at the table?
Oh, it's a gambling den.
Place your bet now.
Big or small? Odd or even?

Time for dinner.
I did not have lunch today, so I had more for dinner. Hehe..
Finally the adults left the mahjong table for dinner, we had the chance to take over now.
See my winning tiles. I got a "Xiao San Yuan".
We played "in between" too.
Hope you don't see us as gambling addict, this only happen once in a year.
New year brings in new luck.
