Woke up this morning, the sky still dark, it’s still drizzling. Why why why??? I want to go VIVO city! Please don’t rain anymore! I’m coming here not to see you rain…… Anyway, I will still go out no matter you rain or not.

Rain Rain go away, come again some other day. I think I should change it to, Rain Rain go away, come again by next Thursday. Hahaha.

Find out from Wikipedia, there is an additional or longer version for this children’s rhyme:

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.

Rain, rain, go away.
Come again some other day.
Little Arthur wants to play,
In the meadow by the hay.

Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again.

Rain, rain, pour down,
But not a drop on our town.

Rain on the green grass,
and rain on the tree,
And rain on the housetop,
but not on me.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again on washing day.

Rain, rain, go to Germany,
And remain there permanently.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come on Martha’s wedding day.

Additional Verses:

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
If you don’t, I will say,
Rain, rain go away.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again some other day,
We want to go outside and play,
Come again some other day.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again some other day,
If you don’t, I don’t care,
I’ll pull down your underwear!

I reached Singapore early in the morning, around 6 something. Before reached the checkpoint, it was so jam. I was out from the Woodlands checkpoint at 6.40am, got into the cab and headed to my aunt’s place.

My aunt waited for me since I don’t have small change, she helped to pay for the fees. It costs $10.70. It’s consider cheap! If you take the cab after 7am, you will need to pay additional $2. Lucky me, the bus reached early. 🙂

The first thing I have is the Gardenia Banana Walnut bread. My aunt knew I like this bread so much, she bought it for me. How nice! I took 2 slices. But you know me la, still feel hungry. We decided to go out for breakfast. Before we going out, the sky become dark, seems like going to rain.

We managed to go out and have breakfast in the cloudy weather. Guess what I have? Hehehe, I’m sure most of you will know this time. Yes lo…. Correct lo…. My all time favourite! Wahahaha.

After breakfast, we walked to the market nearby. Hoon sms me at 10am and we walked back to home. Hoon took me to her house, then follow her round here and there from 12.15pm until 1.30pm. After she settle her 2 lovely daughters, we went for lunch.

Hoon suggested Pastamania but when we went up on the escalator, we saw Sakae Sushi. Hoon keep asking what I wanted to have for lunch. I cin cai one mar…. In the end, we walked into Sakae Sushi. 🙂

I ordered Teppanyaki Chicken Set Lunch while Hoon ordered Soft Crab. Before the main food arrived, we took some sushi from the sushi conveyor belt (I asked Hoon, she said it’s called conveyor belt. I have no idea). My Teppanyaki Chicken Set Lunch came with many stuff: Chicken (Of coz got chicken la…. if not why call Chicken set??), Vegetables, Cuttle Fish, Rice and Miso Soup. I’m so full after having all of them. Hoon only ate her soft crab and one plate of sushi. Tell you one thing, Hoon was really good in eating wasabi.

I’m going to Singapore later at night, by bus. The last time I went Singapore was back to the year 2005. 2005 was the year I got my permanent job in current company. In 2005 itself, I went to Singapore for 3 times! Just imagine that. First time was in Jan, before Chinese New Year, went with a gang of friends. 2nd time is during May. I went with my mum. 3rd time was during Christmas, went with 3 friends of mine.

2 years back, the MRT was still not yet go into Sentosa, we still need to take the MRT to Harbour Front and take the bus from there. 2 years back, there is no VIVO City. 2 years back………. I cannot think of others now……… Hahaha.

I checked back my previous post on the Singapore Trip (in Chinese), it’s so funny written. Sometimes, when u read back all the stuff that you wrote, you will say to yourself, why I will write like this? But on that time you are writting, you will not think of that. Weird right? So, another good thing about blog, you can write down all the good memories or even bad one and keep it forever. After few years later, when you looked back, you will feel funny like what I feel now. 🙂

Back to Singapore Trip, I will be there for 8 days. Don’t worry, my laptop will go along with me. My laptop is my life now. No laptop, cannot blog! Nightmare for me!! I will keep you all posted with delicious food and Christmas decoration photos!

Stay tune~~~

(continue from the previous post)

For own domain, first thing you need to do is buying a domain (Of coz laa….. if not buy what?). You can get lots of sites for buying a domain, if you search through google: MadDogDomains.com, Register.com, buydomains.com, active-domain.com and many many more. For me, I use Godaddy. Once you got the domain name, you need to have a web hosting server. Again, there are a lot. If you cannot decide which one to use, you can go to Hosting–Review.com, Top-10-Web-Hosting.com or webhostingbluebook.com to check them out. Before you can start to blog, you need to do some configuration. the setting is depends on which web hosting your are choosing. Normally, the web hosting site will provide support for the users. You can contact the customer support to help you out.

From what I noticed, most of the people feel excited when they see their friends have a blog. They also want to have one. This is very common. They are like small kids, when see something new, they want to try out. So, they started theirs. At first, they are writing everyday. Slowly, the post become less. Sooner or later, they feel bored and stop writing.

My recommendation: Beginners can start with a free blog hosting. It’s easier. Not much setting need to be done. If you want to stop anytime, just stop, no need to pay any single cent.

What do you think about blog? Any comments?

Before I start, let me talk about what is a blog. To me, a blog is some thing like your own diary or a platform that can let you write almost anything you want.

From Wikipedia:
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) and are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.

I started my blog in 2005 after get influenced by my brother. I have posted my blog history before, so I’m not going to repeat here (You can click HERE to read about it). The main topic I want to share is, How to Blog.

There are 2 options for you to start your blog: Register to a free blog hosting OR register your own domain and web hosting server.

Register to a free blog hosting is the easiest way ever. They are so many free blog hosting out there. The most common will be the blogger.com. Besides blogspot, wordpress, myspace, xanga, typepad, livejournal, vox and etc are also available online. This is base on personal preference.

Free blog hosting embed most of the stuff inside, you can start to write in just seconds. It’s pretty straight forward. Just go and register an account, login and start yout posting. Of coz, you can change the template as you wish. You also can attach additional stuff into you blog like videos and photos, with just a simple click. For the intermmediate level, you even can edit the coding inside.

For the 2nd option, post it tomorrow. Too lengthy………

My mum cooked Huan Zhu Ty’ng yesterday. At first, I planned to buy the “Tong Sui” (dessert) near my house but then my mum said she has cooked the Huan Zhu Ty’ng. OK, great, let me save my money.

I like all the desserts. From Ang Dao Ty’ng, Lek Dao Ty’ng, Bee Kor Moi, Bubur Char Char, Kan Tung until Tor Dao Ty’ng, all I like. 😀 You can know that I’m a Tam Chiak person.

Ham Chim Peng 2

Overall, the Ham Chim Peng is nice. I only manage to eat the one with red bean. The one with glutinous rice, I took it home for my mum. You need to eat the Ham Chim Peng when it’s hot. It’s not that nice anymore if it becomes cold.

The Hua Chi was only so so. Other stall one will put sugar and you can feel the sweetness and crunchy when you bite on it. Too bad I didn’t take the photo. It’s already inside my stomach when I took the above photos.

If you want, you can go to Batu Lanchang market to try it out. It’s selling at RM0.70 each (Previously is only RM0.60. Price just increase recently due to the flour). The stall is closed on Sunday and Friday.

Hello.. This will be my very first post in this new home. I have spent almost whole day to configure and play with it. Now, I can consider familiar with some of the settings. But I still need time to edit some of the stuff.

Basically, this blog will be more on Food (yes…. food!!!), Travel (places that I have visited to), Technology (IT gadget and some tutorial like how to start a blog) and Make Money Online (I will let you know how to earn money online, sounds interesting?). Other than this, it will be posted in My Mood, My Feeling.

Please stay with me for the update. I will try to update it as often as I can.

Last but not least, WELCOME to my blog – BLOG it with ALLEN!!
