Heading off to Shanghai and my final post in Singapore.
It feels different this time round compared to the last time I was on an extended trip to Shanghai.
This time round is indefinite.
No matter, I know that whenever I return to Singapore, I know that family and friends will be here for me as always.
I forgot to turn of the headlights this morning and the car battery went dead!
My mum was trying to get into the car at Tiong Bahru but was unable to open the car with the remote control. She thought it was the remote control at fault, however, later when I joined her from my dinner with my grand parents, I realised that the car battery had ran dead due to the headlights being left on.
We both did not know how to rectify the problem, so we called Automobile Association of Singapore for help. They sent their personnel within 15 mins to jump start the car. We were told to leave the car on for at least 1/2 hour to charge up the battery again.
At least now we know what to do in the event of a breakdown. AA is indeed very responsive.
It’s durian season and I am eating quite a bit of durians. 
Have you gotten your iPhone 3.0? It’s great, just that the video function should really have been turned on. oh well …
2 egg prata, 1 cheese prata, 1 ice milo, 2 teh halia cost S$ 8.40 at an Indian eatery near my office.
I knew Indian food was expensive, but it is increasingly becoming high-value food!
The cost of the food is pathetically minimal, yet the amount they charge is so high. Perhaps, we are paying for the rare skill of prata flipping and frying. Quite a dying trade, considering the many hawkers out peddling their “wares” of flimsy and soft prata with watery curry stew. blah!
At least the one I ate this afternoon was of decent quality, unlike a certain prata shop at the northern part of Singapore near the Kayu area. Beats me why the crowds continue to revisit that place.
Instead try out the prata shops along Thomson Road. There a number of prata shops along that stretch and although there are specific ones which are really good, you can’t go too wrong with any of them.
By the way, while you are at Thomson Road, be sure to try out the Kampong Chicken Rice, too. Yellow skinned chicken rice is succulent and goes wonderfully with the fragrant rice. Aw … this is making me hungry at such a late hour!!!
