Car Display - Final Episode

To those who have been following my ranting on the car display project that Mr J and I had been slaving ourselves to for the past 1.5 weeks might be relieved to know that the car display is up!!! I have photos to prove too!! See……….

Anyway, Mr J swore not to do anymore such displays cos getting the licenses from the relevant government agencies are enough to kill anyone who’s dumb enough to try getting them in the first place!! (Confused? So am I) So we’ll have to really consider if we are offered a similar job.

The Search for Food Episode - Part 1

I told Mr J about me not being to Amoy St Food Centre. In fact, I didn’t even know of existence till I saw an episode on “Makan Lost & Found” on Ch 5, recently. He laughed at me, saying that it’s such a famous food place and that everyone knew where it was – let me ask you, do you know about Amoy St Food Centre? OK, maybe then it’s just me….

So, this morning Mr J was feeling magnanimous and decided to bring me to this famous food place which I have been deprived of for 27 years of my life. I was feeling quite excited at the prospect to be able to visit a new place (since Singapore is so tiny!). We took a cab to the food centre.

Upon reaching there, I noticed that most shops were closed and those that looked open, did not seem to sell anything. The vendors were sort of sitting around with piles of crockery, etc. I confided to Mr J on my observations and he simply said that it being a Saturday, most shops might not be opened. I was puzzled. How can it be? This is a freaking famous food centre and don’t operate on Saturdays?!!!

Then, I stumbled upon this!!!! And I almost cried of disappointment.

Alas, there’s 365 days in a year, and 9885 days of my life and assuming the food centre has been around that long, but it has to be closed today!! What are the odds?!!

Anyhow, we went to the nearby Maxwell Market to eat and the only Muslim food stall opened is an Indian one (at the corner). I ordered Roti John and it sucked big time!

So, in the next few weeks, I simply have to drag either Hubby or Mr J down to Amoy St Food Centre for a food fest! Yeah…
