Hello ladies.
Since we are on the subject of food today, can anybody tell me where I can find chicken rice ball in SG? I had it in Malaysia once and I been having craving for that lately but dont know where to find....
Ya teatree, I been to coca in taka and wasn't too impressed with the food and service too. Good idea we should have steamboat gathering.

Hi teatree, oraia,
Isn't that international building? *confused* Didn't know there are things to see in there, doesn't look nice from outside.
Teatree, its like normal chicken rice except the rice is not served in a bowl but made into small balls like fishball size, dont know why but somehow it tastes much tastier!! Yum yum...

Hey Ladies,
Reading the replies on this thread makes me DROOL. I am awake at 4 am in the morning to catch my 6:40am flight today... and am REALLY hungry.
Oraia, The steam boat place I mentioned does not use charcoal. Hmmm... I think it uses the normal equipment as any another steam boat places. I jus love that place alot for its chicken rice. Plus, I have been eating there since 6 years old. Hehhehee....
Very satifised with my new e-ring setting. However, I have big knuckles... so not sure if I should resize the ring although it fits really well once it pass my knuckles. Anyone with the same pblm?

good morning ladies,
sweets, you're in china? cool.... are you working there?
leeds, that building is just next to isetan scotts. very old building
. have never seen a chicken rice ball before but it sure sounds yummy. would love to try it sometime.
canny, if the ring fits nicely on the finger after it passes through your knuckles then it should be okay. if re-set bigger it might fall off more easily. anyway, big knuckles = extra protection. hehe..

sweets, i see.... hhmm, i think it's nicer to be a lady of leisure. hehehe... can always start working when you're back in singapore. in the mean time can just go shopping, pamper yourself with treatments
. my dream lifestyle.
oraia, me will try that happy pay and chef this saturday. hubby seems pretty interested when i told him about it.

Hello ladies,
Sweets, didn't know you're in china. So how long have you been there? Intending to stay there for long? Btw, whats SO? I studied in london and fiance studied in leeds, met him in Brighton during college...
Were you studying in england too?

I also think if it fits nicely don't resize it.

hey leeds,
my SO and I met at Bradford when he was in final and I was a freshman
but I was there for only 3 sems , went to US after that to complete my studies
So u schooled at Uni of Leeds I guess ? I've been in China for a few weeks LOL, SO has been here nearly 5 years already
Nope, he's not China Chinese.
SO = Significant Other
Teatree, ok lar..its a nice break as i was working very crazy hours in a crazy industry for 3 yrs
Not really nice to be lOL now...esp when I want to work hard now...
and I miss my income a lot ! Wouldn't be back in SG for a long time (prob 5 - 10 yrs) haha
so don't think can find work in SG. NO money so no dream lifestyle too
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side
Phep, that's sounds like a good deal u got there

Hi sweets,
Wah bradford... We used to drive to bradford for the curry and naan. Really really good!!
No I wasn't in Uni of Leeds, my fiance was, I was in London.
How you enjoying life in china so far? No wonder you got time to masak masak there... Better enjoy it, you'll miss the free time next time when you're working. Me don't mind being a tai-tai too

hi sweets,
yeah, one thing about not working is not having an income of our own. anyway, looks like you're going to stay there for quite a long time so all the best in your job hunt
. sent in applications already?
leeds, seems like we have that in common. i don't really fancy working and would prefer becoming a tai tai. hehehe...

hi leeds
i must first mention that i'm not much of an expert on diamonds...jus picking up along the way
the table of the diamond is the top surface. the carat of the diamond essentially is how much the rock weighs. so let's say if we have two rocks of same carat...one with bigger table/surface area, it may mean that the height may be shallow or even too shallow so that light escapes before reflection (this is how we see the brillance). likewise, if a stone's depth is too high, light may also escape such that there's not enuf "internal reflection" (goodness this sounds so physics!)
imho, i would go for a well cut diamond i.e. with a good table/depth ratio. but it really depends on your objective which is better. my aunt has 70+ pointer with a big table but a not so good colour at $4k plus and it's good to her, so....
but the bigger the diamond, the easier it is to spot flaws and colour...and of cos the brilliance. i would go for a well cut diamond with good colour and clarity for my solitaire ring and settle for an ok one for solitaire pendant.

Hey all
teatree...looking for jobs lar..but responses very slow..been here only for few wks actually and going to US next week Thanks for the best wishes.
Pheb, IMO, since diamonds have nearly 0 resale value and most flaws are not spotable to the naked eye...I am ok with any as long as its a decent color and clarity. My SO will tell u otherwise haha But I understand your logic, my jeweller was telling me about the same thing too...
Leeds, oic...so u are moving to Brighton then ? Intending to work there ? Or have kids ? Seaside town should be quite nice
Wish I had enough money to go study in UK again
hehee ... ok lar...time now used for myself lor..to make myself happy ...whenever I don't drive myself nuts over loss of career building time hehe

Sweets, I envy you... Look at me still in the office and its almost 10pm!
*Stress*
Me not moving to brighton lah, will go to leeds cos he's based there. But I absolutely LOVE brighton, was there for a year and I enjoy it so much. Ya seaside town is great.
Pheb, hmmm I think I prefer brilliance to size, as long its not too small.
No wonder sometimes those really big diamonds look very dull, probably not enough depth? hehe... I'm getting better at my knowledge of diamonds now.

sweets...hehe...agree abt diamonds having 0 value...but being the irrational woman that i am...i insist on having them even tho the $ can be put to better use...hubby thinks diamonds are absolutely a scam...but he's getting them jus cos he knows he can't get away/can't bear the consequences of me not having a presentable one hehe
*bad ger*
leeds...yeah...for some the bigger the better, but for the discerning, a brilliant diamond will attract more attention
glad to share whatever i know with you gers
leeds...yeah...for some the bigger the better, but for the discerning, a brilliant diamond will attract more attention
Hey Leeds, I used to do worse hours
so cheer up hey but you get paid ! So its a trade off
Anyway, you intending to work in Leeds too ? I'm actualling missing 24/7/365 those kind of work hours haha...my frens and SO thinks I am a bit mad...
Leeds is nice too
though the shops in UK close a little too early for my liking ;P So how long will you be there ? or issit a permanant move ? Next time can visit you there then. My BIL and SIL are on projects in UK as well...more incentive for us to make a trip over maybe next year.
Hey Pheb
yah...diamonds are one of those irrational unexplainables hehehe
Leeds is nice too
Hey Pheb
Hahaha... Sweets,
I understand what u mean.
Me too... sometimes, I complain about the biz travelling. However, if I stop doing that for a month or so... I feel kinda of werid. Farny hor?!
Pheb,
You looking for diamonds? I can relate to your train of thoughts. I am a prefectionist by nature... thus, am very A on everything including the things I get / purchased. Good luck in diamond shopping.. it should be lots of fun.
