Today we woke up with aches, except for Jaylen, who was still energetic. We decided to go for leisurely Dim Sum Lunch, followed by a trip to The Peak and then shopping around Causeway bay.

We took bus no 1A to the Star Ferry Terminal. On the way,

Jaylen learning Cantonese on the bus

Jaylen at the Star Ferry Terminal @ TST

Seated inside the ferry. Who knows, maybe the next time Jaylen comes to HK, there won’t be anymore Star Ferry

We made it to Central

After we alighted, just a few steps away to the shuttle bus to the The Peak Tram Terminal

Before the bus arrive, Jaylen got restless.

Jaylen fooling around @ The Peak bus stop and fell down!

That’s the bus that will bring us to the Peak Tram

The Tram is here!

Basically, the whole afternoon and evening, we went about shopping around causeway bay.

In the night, we ended up at Temple Street. Saw a anti-piracy team of officers nab a poor guy selling POLO clothes.

2010-12-05T18:24:00.001+08:00

As today is a purely 迪士尼乐园 day, we had all our meals at Disneyland. Before entering the park, we bought this.

HK$98 for 1 lunch set, 1 Dinner set and 1 Drink/Popcorn set

Beef Cheeseburger and Fish Burger with Fries @ Starliner Diner for Lunch! Each set cost about HK$55 if ala-carte

Beef Ball and Won Ton Noodle Soup. about HK$55 if ala-carte

Char Siew Rice. about HK$55 if ala-carte

DIsneyland Popcorn. about HK$28 if ala-carte

Oh, we redeemed 1 Coke Zero bottle drink at Tarzan area. Didn’t take any picture though.

On the whole, this meal coupon is very worth it. The only down side is that it doesn’t come with drinks. But, there are plenty of water coolers everywhere so just use your bottle to refill. Don’t be like me carry 5 bottles of 800ml mineral bottles to Disneyland. haha.

After the whole day, Mrs Cheong and Jaylen also enjoyed this bubble tea called “Gong Cha”. Very famous and very nice, one of Jaylen’s favourite!

Today is a Resting day for us, after the exertions of Ocean Park yesterday and yes, the trip to Disneyland tomorrow. Today’s agenda is to make a trip to Wong Tai Sin Temple, have a hearty DIM SUM lunch and to do some shopping and have an early day in preserving energy for tomorrow.

We started the day with a hearty Traditional Hong Kong Local Breakfast. (Which will be covered under What we ate in Day 3). After that, Jaylen suddenly said he wanted to Poo!

We went back to our room for Jaylen to poo. It was a relief cos he didn’t poo yesterday (Ocean Park) and won’t poo tomorrow (Disneyland)!

Snippet of his “Big Business”

We reached Wong Tai Sin Temple but cos there was a ceremony, we didn’t manage to get in.

Jaylen posing with Doraemon Christmas display @ 龍翔中心 next to Wong Tai Sin Temple

He insisted on taking photos of Mrs Cheong and myself. Nice?

Jaylen saw the 大闸蟹 for the 1st time

After 龍翔中心 , we went to Festival Walk (又一城)

Jaylen playing with a mini Dinosaur @ Page One Bookstore

One of the attractions at Festival Walk (又一城) is the ice skating rink

After Festival Walk (又一城), we went for a good Dim sum Lunch at our hotel, 旺角維景酒店. (Which will be covered under What we ate in Day 3).

After that, we went to shop at Argyle Centre (旺角中心), as Mrs Cheong wanted to do some shopping. But Alas, it was so crowded. Maybe it was a Sunday that's why the crowds were in full force. It was almost impossible to shop, especially with Jaylen around. we end up giving up and left, buying a pair of leggings for my MIL. We proceeded to Ladies Market and decided to proceed back to hotel due to the huge crowd and our next day’s programme.

The 1st full day in Hong Kong plan was to go to Ocean Park! Yeah! Its been 10 years since Mrs Cheong and myself been there and its a 1st for Jaylen!

We woke up early and rushed to Admiralty to catch Bus 629 to Ocean Park

We have reached and waiting for its door to open!

This was one of the reason we are here – Panda! (This is 安安)

Nice shot of the Panda. (This is 佳佳)

Mama and Jaylen enjoyed this ride so much, they went for it 3 times!

Look at how much they enjoyed it!

We caught this show on “Victory” the Sea Lion. Very Nice show compared to others i seen.

Mrs Cheong playing a ride which is not suitable for children

Jaylen giving Mrs Cheong moral support while she play (Hilarious)

Mrs Cheong also played this “Abyss” ride. Too bad no other photos/video is clear.

We proceeded to Pacific Place, home of the Sea Lions. Out of the blue, Jaylen seems to like them very much.

Here you see Mrs Cheong and Jaylen feeding the Sea Lions

With that, we left Ocean Park. We covered almost all the sights but not all the rides as the crowd was getting bigger and bigger as the hour go by. We left Ocean Park and proceeded to Dinner (Which i will elaborate in the “What we ate in Day 2” post. ) After Dinner, we rushed to Victoria Harbour (On Tsim Sha Tsui side) to catch the Symphony of Lights Show. Its on daily at 8pm.

So this was the end of our Day 2 in Hong Kong. Ocean Park on a Saturday can be really crowded and packed to the brim. Well, this was a rehearsal for the bigger theme park, later on in the trip.

It’s been 2 years and 9 months since Cheong Family went on a Holiday. The last trip, in Feb 2008 was to Perth. This time round, Mrs Cheong and i decided to go to Hong Kong for 1 reason. To bring Jaylen to Disneyland! And the other programmes will also be all for Jaylen.

This was my 5th Trip to Hong Kong, Mrs Cheong’s 2nd (1st time flying Singapore Airlines) and of course Jaylen’s 1st time for both Hong Kong and Singapore Airlines.

It’s been 10 years since i brought Mrs Cheong and her sis to Hong Kong and it took me quite awhile to do some research before heading there.

188 SQN Family Day 11 SEP 2009

2009-09-12T16:00:00.001+08:00

*Copied from my wife’s blog* http://memoriesofgrowingup.blogspot.com/2009/09/188-squadron-family-day-11092009.html

So many years since the first day we together, I yet to see Hb’s working environment! There’s open houses on some occasions but I was not keen coz of the crowd! Imagine under hot sun with tons of people! pengz

This time, it is different. Coz today, it’s specially for the family of 188 Squadron crews! Less people BUT restrictions can be a bit turnoff.

Initially I was still thinking whether to go or not. Coz if we go, J would have to skip his class at Zoophonics. Then again, I want him to see where his Papa works and the environment.

It’s all worth it! We left home at around 7.45am to hitch a ride from Hb’s colleague. This way, we need not to queue for the chartered bus. *Thanks for Leow*

Weather was bad coz it’s drizzling when we left home. While waiting at the auditorium, we were told that it was raining outside! So we stayed in to watch a movie.

It’s not a bad thing for the wet day. Coz afterwhich, it’s cool and breezy! Thank goodness!! Hb showed us around on 88 Victory.

I was pretty shocked to see how limited space room be it the corridor, the rooms, kitchen. The most surprising would be their sleeping dormitory! These guys are really superb! I wonder how I can sleep there.

Overall, I really enjoyed myself and seeing so many things. I bet J also enjoyed himself too! He played some games, had candy floss, Polaroid in the Navy Number One uniform and of coz, the many kor kors and uncles who chatted with him!

Pictures time!

J with Papa at Echo Pier

Papa pointing out 88 Victory

Victory, HERE WE COME!

Hmmm….howcome these two ‘lollipops’ so BIG?

Papa: J, these are not Lollipops. They are called Ceremonial Buoy.

We didn’t go anywhere today except for J’s class at Zoophonics. Hb intend to prepare dinner so we went to NTUC before heading home.

I wanted to buy a Dark Chocolate Truffle Cake for Hb but J insisted on a THOMAS THE TRAIN cake! Haha…he said it’s his birthday today! pengz

Birthday boy*oops…should be man* busy in the kitchen

Yummy dishes whipped up by Hb

I love our 全家福 aka family picture! But was telling Hb that the brightness from the ceiling fan seem to spoil the picture. We took a few more attempt but still prefers this.

Actually considered very well taken. Coz with a kid and a dog, picture taken by a self timer camera can be quite a challenge!

Here’s another attempt with me sticking out my fat butt :(

I love My Family!

2009-04-08T19:49:00.001+08:00

Look at this photo. Look how happy they are. Almost everyday, you hear people complaining about this and that. Not enough money, Pay too low, Bonus too low, No job, Retrenchments etc. People always look for material gains. But they always forget about what is important. Family. In life, what’s most important? Is it the chasing after of the latest gadgets? A car? A private property? A dream job that pays a lot with minimum effort?

To me, This is what is important. My Family. No matter how hard life is at work, how stress or how irritating, looking at this photo always brings a smile to my face.

This is why i say i am a lucky man, lucky to have an understanding wife behind me with my erratic work schedule. Lucky that my son is healthy and cute with lots of fun in every new day.

I love My Family, Do you love yours? If you do, tell them. You will make their day.

Jaylen's 2nd Birthday Celebration 13th March 2009

2009-03-15T18:36:00.001+08:00

13th March was Jaylen's 2nd Birthday. We were there at around their tea break time. However, they were still singing in class. So we waited outside. Once ready, we started off with a surprise for him while he was at his playgroup.

Halfway through enjoying his cake, his teacher wanted to show us what jaylen can do. He is able to distribute waterbottles to all his friends by himself. Im so proud of him.

After that's done, he can finally enjoy his cake in peace

Papa, i'm starting my 2nd piece liao

Family candid shot

When it came to taking a group photo, our birthday boy don't want!

After school, we went to Marina Square. The plan was to make him fall asleep and then Mrs Cheong and i can have lunch in peace. He was having a good time at the John Little Toys Department that he didn't want to leave!

Papa, i want car car.

He likes the car so much that he don't want his mama!

Soon after, he fell asleep. But alas, halfway through our lunch, he woke up. We chose to eat at Hot Pot Culture cos of the great price and of course the chocolate fondue which includes strawberries and bananas. He loves them!

I want Strawberry and Bananas!

I also want my strawberry ice cream

Mama, quick, after i drink water, we go Singapore Flyer!

There was a slight drizzle and Mrs Cheong put on the raincoat for him.

So cute!

See how excited he was!

Once in the capsule (We had the whole capsule to ourselves), he was curios. Looking around the place.

Trying to understand the audio guide

Family Photos

Still trying to figure out how to use

Barefooted? OMG!

Wow, the new IR!

Actually, throughout the 30 mins, Jaylen was running here and there, without any restraint.

Before we alight, we quickly take another Family Photo, which i like alot

Once out of the capsule, we took another one for memory sake

Then we left the Flyer.

Isn't this shot nice?

Next, we went to Make a Bear Workshop @ Suntec City to get him a birthday gift.

2009-03-14T11:00:00.001+08:00

After a 5 hour of sleep (Ya, we wandered in casino till 1 am plus), we woke up at 7 plus to have our breakfast. Breakfast was included in the package and its at Happy Valley Restaurant, located at the hotel lobby. Btw, it was the worst hotel breakfast i ever had.

2 cold hard sausages, 1 prata that is bought off the shelves, 2 sotong ball, 1 hard boil egg

Dhall

Plain porridge with lots of spring onion and salted bean fish

Curry chicken (Taste not right), cold baked beans and another cold sausage

The only eatable "Honey Stars"

Fruits that looks soggy

Coffee (No taste) and grape juice

I think Simon also feel the same way as he didn't eat much as well. While we were walking out of the restaurant, he suggested to go back the room to drink coffee (Yes, he must have his Super 3-in-1). I told him why drink instant coffee when there is a coffee bean at the hotel lobby? So we went there for a good cuppa. Guess what? Simon ordered a cheese cake! haha. That shows how yucky the breakfast was!

Glorious Cheese Cake

My Tall House Blend coffee

After that, we checked out and proceeded to KL. Our next and only destination was KLCC. Well, cos i have never been there since it opened and second, its a beautiful day to take photo of the Petronas Twin Tower! While walking around, we spotted this chinese restaurant that has this 50% off promotion between 3 to 5 pm. The decor looks good, the dim sum looks delicious so we decided to take up the offer!

kitaro Live in Concert @ Genting Highlands 7th Mar 09

2009-03-07T22:53:00.005+08:00

Before i begin, i want to thank Mrs Cheong for allowing me to make this trip to Genting to catch Kitaro in action. You know how much i love his music and you understood. Thanks Lao Po!

Im just out of the Arena of Stars abt 10 mins ago. Its raining cats and dogs with Simon and me stuck at Coffee Bean @ Theme Park Hotel. The concert was a huge huge success. I have photos and videos. The Arena was packed and Kitaro duly delivered. Its been 14 years since i caught him Live @ Indoor Stadium during my year 2 in Poly. Such a long wait till today, i finally saw him in the flesh again. He was just like before, passionate about his music, and his professionalism was clear to see.

Kitaro have now flowing long hair with much visible white hair, signs of ageing. I sat there, looking at him, thinking if its going to be my last time attending his Live Performance. I hope when jaylen grows up, father and son can enjoy his concert.

The concert started with a number from his 1st ever album. It was so emotional, i sat there, eyes watery and goosebumbs all over. After that, he gave us a preview of his upcoming CD (in mandarin its called Du Jia Shou Bo), 3 pieces of music dedicated to Mother Earth. Wonderful music. The highlight for me was the medley of his all time hits, esp his re-mix version of his Oscar winning track, 'Heaven and Earth'. I was eagerly waiting for the moment when the horn come in. In the original version, he and another guy blew 2 long horns together. However, today's performance, he was a One Man Show. And he didn't disappoint. Even from far, i could see him controlling his Dan Tian to blow the horn. That was impressive and it drew the entire audiences' applause. At the end of the concert, the audience gave him a standing ovation. While he made his way to backstage, we didn't want him to go. Cries of 'Kitaro Kitaro Kitaro' went round the arena followed by our applause. After a moment, Kitaro re-appeared and bow to us, just like how he started the concert. He gave us an encore of 2 more songs. 1) The very 1st piece he wrote in his life (Such an emotional performance) and 2) A individual solo piece that he wrote in 1995.

After that, another round of standing ovation and he left, bowing and thanking us while he retreated.

Marina Barrage and Melting Pot Cafe @ Holiday Inn Atrium

2009-02-27T22:03:00.001+08:00

Today i applied leave to bring Jaylen out to Marina Barrage. This trip was long overdue as i was always being recalled back to work whenever i applied leave. And after the recent trip to Pattaya and exertions during the R1, i hardly had time to accompany Jaylen. So, the earliest available opportunity after the grueling R1, i took a day's rest to spend time with my family.

See how happy Jaylen was!

Marking Attendance

For Dinner, we went to the Holiday Inn Atrium Melting Pot Cafe for buffet dinner. Till 31st Mar, there is a 1 for 1 offer for MINDEF/SAF personnel. Weekday Dinner $30.50++, Fri - Sun $35++. Consider a good deal as i paid $35++ for 3 of us. If there was no 1 for 1, i don't think its worth it as the variety not attractive although there were some stuff i didn't try such as teochew porridge, Pasta, Popiah, Kueh Pie Tee, Rojak and Waffles.

Waiting for food

Starter was chilled prawns on ice

Clam Chowder Soup (Can be better)

Mutton Masala, Fried Fish, Chicken Cutlet, Veal Sausage, Roast Beef, Baked Seafood, Roast Duck

Valentine's Day Dinner @ Penang Place Restaurant

2009-02-15T17:20:00.001+08:00

This Valentine's Day, to make it a more uncommon to what everyone else is doing with just 2 people, i decided to rope in my in-laws too. Who say old people cannot have valentine day celebration? For us, we had our little jaylen with us. The venue was at Penang Place Restaurant. This is a small little restaurant located at IBP (International Business Park) just opposite The Chevrons. The food was wonderful and the ingredients fresh and plentiful. All the different authentic Penang local fare to savour. For $23.80++, it was a steal. Maybe for our next Department Makan, i will recommend this place.

Hidden somewhere in the West

I started with a DIY 'Cuttlefish with KangKong'. As you can see, the cuttlefish portions were huge and the kangkong fresh. This is 1 of 4 DIY stations which you can eat from.

2nd dish : Stir Fried Broccoli with mushrooms, Century Eggs, Steam Fish Cake, Fried Fish Cake, Beef Rendang, Fried Chicken Wing. Why i loved this place was that it has some of my favourite food which i am very picky about. e.g. Beef Rendang, Chicken Curry (Coming up) etc. This place has quite a good Beef Rendang and i believe if you eat it with their Pandan Coconut Rice (I try not to take rice so i didn't try) it will be perfect!

Curry Chicken thats creamy, thick and very delicious. Taste like what your mum will serve at home. Authentic taste unlike those you find at Foodcourts or Chap Chye Rice stalls.

Penang Place Restaurant Famous Char Kway Teow. And its really nice, To be Honest! The taste is unforgettable and its flavourful although there wasn't any pork or lard in it. Look at the prawns. So generous servings. One of the best Char Kway Teow i ever had and im not even a huge fan of it. I read from the newspaper clippings that it was voted the best in Business Times.

Huge Mussels and prawns in 'Chilli Crab Sauce' together with Broccoli and Fried Chicken Wing

Herbal Duck Soup. 2nd of 4 DIY station.

Penang Laksa. 3rd of 4 DIY station. Not what i expected as i ate before in Penang that's more spicy and sour then this. This version suits me as im not a guy for sour food but the condiments need some improvement. Also, for someone who doesn't eat it often, we wont know how to blend the condiments to make a perfect bowl of this famous laksa.

Hokkien Noodle Soup. This, to me was not only the best of the DIY station, but the BEST of the lot in the buffet. It's been a long time i had prawn noodle soup that thick and flavourful. The broth, i believe, took many hours to boil. The thickness of it reminds me of the Jack's Place Lobster Bisque. But this was much much better. Try it to believe!

Bur Bur Cha Cha. Too Bad it was the warm version and not the cold version i fancy.

Various kuey (Why is the siew mai doing at the Dessert corner?)

Papa, the Food taste so Good! When can we come again?

Lunch @ The Square Restaurant 1st Feb 2009

2009-02-08T18:35:00.001+08:00

Today Mrs Cheong had an appointment with her 'Bros' for dinner. With me stranded, i called up my "Boyfriend" and see if he wanted to do anything? At first it was suppose to be in late afternoon cos he got to go Bai Nian but he sms at abt 11am and asked if im interested in going for a Buffet @ 50% discount! Wow! Without any delays, we were on the way there in a jiffy. The buffet usually cost $50+++ per pax and $79+++ per pax with free flow champagne. Thus, we only need to pay $25+++ per pax after the 50% discount!

I started with a sashimi platter

then with raw oysters, seafood lasagne, shishamo, baked whole salmon, chilled prawns and scallops

then Roast Beef, Ox Tail Stew, Roast Duck, Black Pepper Crab

then Lamb Chop, Sausage

then the day's highlight! Foie Gras! Its my 1st time tasting this and it was so nice. Melts in your mouth with you asking for more!

then Thin crust pizza, mutton satay, various sauces

then Fish Maw Soup

then Smoked Salmon, Tuna, Raw Oyster, Salami, Som Tham before i end and start for Deserts!

Coffee cake, Chocolate mousse cake, Mousse, Orange cake

Oneh Oneh, Strawberry cake, Chocolate mousse cake, Apple crumble, Chocolate cake, Chocolate cheese cake

S'pore and Thai navies conduct combined missile firing

Email Article Print Article

Posted: 20 Jan 2009, 1800 hours (Time is GMT +8 hours)

Report by Sheena Tan

The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) participated in a combined missile firing on 12 Jan in the Gulf of Thailand, off Sattahip, Thailand.

The missile firing in the Gulf of Thailand was a first for the RSN, where harpoons were successfully fired by the RSN's missile corvette, RSS Victory and the RTN's frigate, HTMS Naresuan.

RSS Victory successfully firing a harpoon during the combined live-firing in the Gulf of Thailand. (Yeah!)

On board RTN's helo-carrier HTMS Chakri Naruebet, Admiral Soopakorn Booranadiloak (left) presents Rear-Admiral Ng Chee Peng with a memento to commemorate the successful combined missile firing.

Witnessed by the RSN's Fleet Commander Rear-Admiral Ng Chee Peng and the RTN's Admiral Soopakorn Booranadiloak, Command-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Fleet, the missile firing provided the opportunity for both navies to enhance interoperability and mutual understanding.

The RSN and RTN participate regularly in joint exercises, underscoring the warm and long-standing defence ties between the Singapore Armed Forces and the Royal Thai Armed Forces.

Pre-Reunion Dinner on Eve of Eve of Chinese New Year at Sizzler, Suntec City

2009-01-25T13:38:00.001+08:00

Since i'm back from my trip to Pattaya, i heard Mrs Cheong craving for Sizzler. In fact it was last Sunday where we were window shopping at Jurong Point. And so, i decided to bring her and Jaylen to Sizzler for our Cheong Family Pre-Reunion Dinner on Eve of Eve of Chinese New Year yesterday, just the 3 of us.

Sizzler Clam Chowder Soup

Salad Bar selections. There are many kinds of pre-mix salads such as Waldorf Salad, Squid salad, chicken and mango salad, seafood salad, potato salad, white potato salad etc available and also the all time favourites such as mushrooms, egg mayonnaise, ham strips, broccoli, potato skins, pasta with tomato sauce etc.

In fact, above the salad bar counter, there is a signboard that say "The Best Salad Bar in Singapore" (Didn't manage to photo it as no photography is allowed)

Grilled Salmon and Chicken Combo

Grilled teriyaki chicken and Ebi prawn fritters combo

Fruits from the salad bar.

The restaurant has been renovated since the last time i was there, together with the food prices. It used to cost $15.99 for the Salad Bar but not it cost $19.99. But then the price hike is justified. There were many varieties of salads available and i had a hard time sampling all of them.

As for the main course, Till the month of May, if you are a VISA card holder, you can order a combo meal at $26.99 and get the second one at 30% discount ($18.89) That's even cheaper then ordering the salad bar so its a real good deal.

Overall, we enjoyed the food there and so did Jaylen!

Bread for starter

Pasta in tomato sauce for my main course (Took from the Salad Bar)

What i ate during Pattaya 2009 Final Day

2009-01-22T19:35:00.001+08:00

Lunch today was at the super cheap steamboat i found on our first day at Pattaya.

Starter Dishes of the Steamboat. Local Favourites such as fatty pork stir fry, minced meat with basil leaves (Spicy and non-spicy), Seafood salad and Chicken stew.

The main characters of the Shabu Shabu. Thin slices of pork, fish, squid and prawns.

Fruits after the heavy meal. The pineapple were so sweet!

As we had a really heavy lunch, i didn't feel hungry for dinner. we went to Pattaya City Walk again for the Chang Beer Tower and needed stuff to munch. So i ordered desert pancakes from this stall. i ordered banana, corn, raisin flavours.

The way she did it was exactly the same as our roti prata. but its very very nice, many layers of carnation milk and scoops of sugar on top! Yummy!

This is the end of the What i ate during Pattaya 2009 series.

Watch out for the next series, "What i ate during Kaoshiung 2009" which most likely to be posted in Apr/May 2009!

What i ate during Pattaya 2009 Day 7

2009-01-22T19:24:00.001+08:00

For some reason or another, i didn't manage to photograph my lunch. But i did photo the stall and the som tham.

Noodle stall along a street at Pattaya (Very near to the Mariott)

The som tham mobile stall

Finished Spicy Som Tham. (Look at how red the sauce was)

This stall also sell Salted Fish BBQ but i didn't have the chance to eat. (Or did it afraid to eat it? Haha)

After lunch and a long walk, we sat down at Swensens and i ordered this. Chocolate Sundae.

I also had a piece of fried Beef at this Fried Meats along Pattaya Beach, Thailand

For dinner, i finally had the opportunity to try the Samurai Pork Burger that Mr Leow have been talking about non-stop. It was so-so. And 2 piece of Macdonald Fried Chicken which wasn't that far away from KFC.
