ladies

parkson has recently received fresh stocks of stuff from malaysia. u can get bee hoon there - abt 12rmb/pack and plenty of other stuff. be prepared to pay though. their sardines are at 42rmb per can!

as for tau foo, go to the wet markets and get them. they are more suitable for tahu goreng. for those who dont dare venture to the wet markets, there is a korean minimart at gubei that stocks tau foo. the store is facing mandarine city.

uishh....then cannot happening already? hhahahhaa

anyway....coming up this weekend, Japanese Buffet.
Next week...the Lace & Leather Night


can, can still happening, just be more careful lor. Avoid dark / lonely streets, etc etc. Also remember to carry your talisman / amulets with you all the time. Most importantly, dont talk rubbish to offend those "good brothers & sisters", hahaha.

Woah! Japanese food! I love those raw sashimi, and without wasabi!!! Wasabi just spoils the raw & original taste of those sashimi. Hee hee, I'm hardcore. My all time favourite Japanese Buffet also, when I was in Thailand (Oishi Sushi). Raw sashimi + sake, simply shiok, sedap!!!

Might either be going to ChongQing or ZhuHai this weekend, not sure / confirmed yet (directions can be quite apart / diverse). If in Shanghai, will definitely join u folks for the Japanese food!

Lace & Leather? SM?

eggy: Wanted to ask you ... I've been seeing an Oasis Riveria mini-bus moving along our neighbourhood. Do they bring you to places like Carrefour and nearby subway stations etc? So envious if it's true ... Yanlord doesn't seem to have such facilities.

Dear all,

Here's another night event, Lace & Leather Night
It's a multiple birthday celebration for ChunHao, Nor and Jannifer.

This time, we're going to Bling....above Naked Cow.
It's located at 66 Danshui Lu by Jinling Xi Lu.
We got the place and it's RMB150 per pax...AGAIN, free flow!
But, RSVP needed as we have limited place.
Date of 'havoc' is on 25th August 2007 and we'll start at 10pm.

Attached is the notti+kinky graphics that might trigger the brain on how the night would be!! (click the link below, thanks!)

*please do not hesitate to get back to me for further inquiries.

So, if one can't wait for the next trip back to SG (or the next friend coming here), where can one find kaya in SH?

Count your blessings that your daughter is excited to go to school.

The only prolem with your "company" is that you're probably 70-80cm too tall.

So, now if you have some free time during the day you should do something just for you.

wah, that is something like 10 years ago!

Wasn't really into Velvet, not really into Zouk kinda club, though I was a Mambo Jumbo regular at 1 time. Though I love retro, I'm still very the ceena, so I not really into those "ang moh" or "atas" class or type of crowd.

Me more into Canto type of crowd.

Actually, I quite like ang moh retro too. Just that, I find the crowd in Zouk, especially Velvet, too "ang moh class" (though my ang moh language is no less inferior).

Not only ceena, can also call me Ah Beng!
