Random Update

It's been quite awhile since we wrote something on our blog. Miraculously..time seems to be propelled by a pair of wings.

ADSL at our apartment is down at the moment, we are trying very hard to get it fixed (you need extra calories intake to handle the frustration of setting things right here). Our neighbour Rosy has gone back to Spain so the option of connecting to her ADSL line is out as well..

I am still chuckling whenever I heard this from the Egypt tourism advertisement on CNN :
" Egypt offers you their most precious treasure , THE SUN ".

Most of the Egyptian that I spoke to didn't seems to aligned to that statement, they dislike the heat during summer and prefer winter. July's weather is hot but still bearable. I heard that the August heat is the most punishing, we shall see.

I am actually quite fascinated by what Egypt can really offer me, aside from the SUN and some annoyances. I would say so far I am enjoying the life here and I didn't miss Singapore that much!

There is still so much for me to explore in Egypt. We shall be more active travelling around when the summer is over and the weather is more accommodating.

We are expecting a few groups of friends to visit us, we will try to travel with them whenever my work schedule permits...Red Sea, Mt Sinai, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, the desert.

We also has the luxury to visit the neighbouring country across Mediterranean Sea..The Europe..Spain, France, England, Turkey...it's going to be fun!

Here's the official website of Egyptian Tourist Authority: Here here here....

We went to Wagamama restaurant at CityStar for our dinner. I supposed it's a Japanese restaurant even though their menu is not convincing enough.


Chicken Ramen. Eve ordered this and was surprised to see the ramen was served in dry. Haha, she didn't read properly....as usual lah :p


This is my soupy ramen! The soup was quite standard and the rest was just barely edible. I only ate 1 piece of the meat and the rest "ta bao" as a supper for PiPi.

My company laptop is less than 6-months old, and start to give shit. Strangely though, it has stopped giving shit for 2 weeks now. I suspect it got something to do with the electrostatic charges. Due to the dry weather, static shock is actually quite common here. During the winter, I actually developed a minor phobia whenever I want to wash my hand :"Shock...shock...and more shock."


PiPi is growing healthily and exponentially. He was last weighted yesterday at 1.75kg, gaining 150g in just a week time.

He's the sleeping champion in the house, and also a whining king. He will whine and whine whenever he is hungry. He also want a bite of everything that we eat... Spoilt child!
