Here's a start.

Well, today is a significant day for me. The last of the eggs have hatched and are ready to leave the nest. I've watched them grow, learn and be real people. Well, real enough at least for the real world. Through the highs and lows, frowns and smiles, scolding and laughing, I have shared with at least 70 people. Somehow, they have not figured that my bark is not as bad as my bite. And definitely they did not realise that I would never bite them. Such darlings. I already miss them. Though I'm glad lessons are over! Sighs. Will tell you more about them in time to come.

Babies! Love to hold them, love to feed them, love to cuddle them but hate to bring them up. Just saw a precious today. Such a sweetheart. Her parents cut off her hair to make a kinda brush? I miss my nephews and niece when they were babies ( less than a year old) After that, they get all bratty and noisy and I can practically hear them screaming in my dreams! But I love them anyway.

Japanese food. Ikoi Japanese Buffet at Miramar Hotel. Verdict.
Food: Tempura was good ( Was because the 3rd order was soggy)
Seat: Criss crossed or normal benchstyle, either way it was hard to get up after the dinner
Price: $30+++
Menu: Not super varietal. Nothing exciting. Nuf Said.
Return factor: No
Comments: Chawanmushi- 3/10, Tempura 8/10 (first order) 3/10 (subsequent orders), Sashimi- very good (from sashimi lovers)

Sashimi lovers. Ha ha.... ha ha..... Sashimi lovers..... hmmm..... did I have dinner with sashimi lovers?...... Ha ha... Only I laugh and u watch okie, cos you wouldnt understand. Ha ha

Well, latest craves: Miniatures.
You know, miniature toys eg cups, pots, pans, tables, benches about the size of a 10cent coin. Its so cute! I started in Tokyo Japan. There is this building in Harajukku called Kid's World. A 6 story building full of toys for men, boys, women, girls, babies, grandmas etc. From disney to pikachu to strawberry shortcake, dreamworks and all the latest toys from the latest movies. And, on one of the floors they display this miniatures which i went gaga over. Like really gaga.... it didnt help that I was kinda encouraged or at least, not discouraged from buying. A box of 10 sets cost about sing $120. When u are gaga, price usually does not matter......much..... I would just fly all the way there to get more toys. Just to get more toys..... The brand is Rement. ( So , if you are going, do drop me a note if u dont mind buying for me) Great stuff. Found some on my recent trip to Bangkok at World Trade Centre, rather near Isetan. Quality not as good but it was miniature and I went gaga anyway. There's a shop in United Square, Singapore too. And one dealing with porcelain miniatures in Penang, near Komtar.

Star Wars. Love it do you? I have not met anyone as fanatic and devoted as a friend of mine. He has arranged star war figurines in like complete scenes from some episodes. I havent seen all of it yet...... soon i hope. I have met fans of the quintology? is it? All loving the plot and the character and the out of the world names. I like how Tony Parson's wrote about it in his book, Man and Boy. Its funny. I like how my friend does his Jedi Silence hand motion thingy in an audience of 300 unknowingly. To me, this friend of mine, I call him Darth. He kinda walks like one.

BDC. As president and co founder, I must make special mention of it. There. Its mentioned. Nuf said. (for now)
