Today,I had the privilege of meeting Candra.She was born and raised in Australia and came to Spore when she was three.She is now 7 years old.She is a super hero in my eyes.I was close to tears when I finally got to pat her.She is awesome! I will never forget our meeting.
This afternoon,we went shopping for Dabo's belt.Because I just received my bonus,I decided to splurge on one for him.He wanted one that he can wear for office and casual.We went to Marc Jacobs,Roberto Cavalli,Yohji Yamamoto Y3,Versace,Emporio Armani,Hugo Boss,LV,Gucci,Bally,Hermes and I've lost count here.But, he still couldn't decide which one.Looks like we have to continue this sat.
We stopped for a break at Canele.
Immanuel ordered the New York cheesecake and apple juice for himself while I had the macaroons.The cheesecake was great but I find the macaroons too sweet for my taste.
I'm usually not keen on letting Immanuel play at public playgrounds but this one here seems clean enough.We chanced upon it while having a coffee break at the food court.It is just conveniently located outside the area where we were sitting.Even Dabo and I enjoyed playing here!
During Chinese New Year,we usually have a lion dance performance.They will play loud music with drums and gongs.The lion is believed to frightened away the evil spirits and bring good luck.
A pair of lion heads.
Auspicious chinese characters 'spit' out by the lion to bless our office. Some people can even see/guess the numbers and use it to buy lottery! I bought some and hope that I'll strike it BIG ; )
Today is the 1st day of the Chinese Lunar New Year and also Valentine's Day.It is a very hot & humid day! But we still had to leave the comfort of our home to visit close relatives.Immanuel is all dressed in his new clothes and carrying mandarin oranges to present to my mom upon arriving at her house later.He can even say: "Happy New Year, Granny! Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

This evening we had our annual Chinese reunion dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel chinese restaurant. Bless by my dear brother Wilson.
Tonight we went to Uncle Leong's cze char stall at Ang Mo Kio for nothing else but crabs.This is chilli crab.
This is the fried buns (man tou as we call it in Mandarin) is best eaten when soaked up in the chilli gravy before eating it. 
This is butter-black pepper cream style crab.
And lastly,this is fiery hot black pepper crab.These crabs are Sri Lanka crabs so they are quite big and costs about SGD50 each.
I like to patronize this stall for their crab dishes coz they are honest and the food is very yummy.
This early evening we decided to bring the dogs to K9 cafe for a run n fun.
We also brought Immanuel's tricycle along so that he can ride.
