FOC FOS Blanket

Three weeks ago when I was having dinner at Umai Fine Japanese Cuisine, Alice Hiew mentioned that Factory Outlet Store (FOS) has opened an outlet at Centre Point Sabah, a floor below Palm Square. In conjunction with the opening, the public is entitled to get something FOC from the outlet while stocks last.

On the 13 May 2009, there was an advertisement in the Daily Express and Overseas Chinese Daily News offering FOC FOS Blanket. One just had to fill in the form, go to the outlet and exchange the form for the blanket.

After I came home from the dinner, I instructed Chloe to find for me among the piles of newpapers we are reserving for mum to come back to read, the advertisement.

Chloe found the advertisement.

The next day I took it with me to Canaanland Celebration so that I could ask Alice to help me to exchange it for the blanket since she is working in Warisan Square.

A week later she brought the blanket to Canaanland Celebration to give me. Thank you Alice.

The blanket is made in PRC and indeed it is supersoft as it claimed to be.

I hope the red colour would not smudge when I wash it. *finger cross*

Shortbread

I do not like to eat much biscuits but this is one of the biscuits which I could not resist when I was in Down Under.

Four weeks ago when I was in F.T. Labuan, I bought two packets.

I like the crumbly feeling in my mouth when I bite on the biscuit.

I think it would be quite easy to bake the shortbread but I am simply too lazy and opt for the easy way out.

Anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre

Today marks the 20^th anniversary.

On that day twenty years ago I was in Wollongong, Down Under and mum was in Hong Kong, on transit to visit me if I remember correctly. I watched in horror as the news unfolded before my eyes.

On this day twenty years later, approx. 150,000 people held a candlelight vigil in Victoria Park, Hong Kong to commemorate the event.

I am wondering whether Uncle Hoi and Aunty Anna attended the vigil.

Mum in UK

Mum is off to California, USA today and will be returning to London on 8 July 2009.

Harvest Festival Day 3

Woke up at 8.15a.m. after having seven hours sleep. Alarm was set an hour later but I woke up earlier.

Elizabeth Chung came to fetch me at 10.30a.m. and after that she fetched Monica Leong and Sharon Lai. We then proceeded to Striker’s Bowl, Sutera Harbour Marina & Country Club (SHMCC). Arrived there after 11.00a.m.

All throughout our three games of ten-pin bowling, we occupied the whole place except for when a couple came but only the man played for fifteen minutes.

Sharon was the top bowler among us, followed by Monica, Eliz and yours truly. I knew I would not play well (as in the past) but I joined in for the fun of it. We really had fun, good laugh at and encourage each other. My combined scores of the three games were only 133. Our three games lasted for about two hours.

(I first played bowling on the first Friday of high school in Down Under for Friday afternoon activity. I scored 133 and that was a complete fluke. I never scored that ever since and I hardly played the game after that first semester)

We then had lunch at Marina Café. Eliz is a member of SHMCC and therefore meals are charged at half price of the published rates on the menu.

Monica and Eliz had Nasi Goreng Nenas. Sharon had Nasi Goreng Asam Pedas while I had Fish & Chips. Everyone was satisfied with their own selection.

Half way through our lunch, Sophia Tsen arrived to join us. She ordered Korean Style Beef with Rice. The beef were too salty.

Monica and Eliz could not finish their rice and I finished for them.

After lunch, we went out to the marina to look at the ship that had just docked. The sun had been kind and hiding almost the whole day.

This is what Sophia wants for her upcoming birthday. *argh*

After our walk, Sophia and I went for dessert at Kak Nong, Bundusan Plaza while the rest went home.

I did not get home until about 5.30p.m. and therefore it was too late to go hiking at Bukit Padang. Instead I had 55mins of brisk walking around the neighbourhood and sweated a lot.
