新加坡Xmas游-Day 1 (Bugis。Orchard)

话说虽然我和Darling在一起已经接近四年了，不过我们从来没一起度过圣诞节这个浪漫的节日。之前几年我不是回家乡就是去旅行，而今年我们终于有机会一起庆祝圣诞节啦。今年的圣诞节由于Darling的家人全都在柔佛州，所以我们也到柔佛一起和他家人团聚啦，毕竟他们基督教徒总希望圣诞节可以团团圆圆一家人聚在一起。虽然他们一家是基督教徒，不过今年的圣诞节我们也是简简单单的一家人一起出外吃火锅，过后回家吃蛋糕喝红酒，并没有去教堂。

难得来到了柔佛州，又遇上圣诞佳节，我们当然不忘过去新加坡看看Orchard的灯饰咯~ 星期五从KL驾车到马六甲，过了一夜后星期六吃饱就继续开车去柔佛啦~ 虽然路程比我回槟城的短，可是就是不知道为什么我总觉得回槟城好像没那么累也没那么远的感觉，可能是自己家乡的关系吧，而且半路可以停下怡保买我最爱的盐焗鸡~

这天我们一到柔佛后，休息一下再去游泳后，就搭得士去JB CIQ然后坐巴士Causeway Link CW2 去新加坡Queen Street (车费两人RM5)。到达后，最靠近的MRT站其实是Bugis站，就在这间McDonald's旁边直走就是了，而有ERP的这一条整条都叫Queen Street，之前不知道巴士停在Queen Street哪里，先上网查到Bras Basah这个MRT站就在Queen Street，我们不知道怎样走就直接开GPS找Bras Basah MRT，其实应该找Bugis MRT才对，因为Bras Basah在Queen Street的尾端，而巴士停在Queen Street的前端，最靠近的站应该是Bugis。

累透透游新加坡-Day 4 (Bugis/Orchard/Flyer/China Town/Clarke Quay)

今天是在新加坡的第四天，行程是去游新加坡的几个主要名胜地，包括乌节路、新加坡大型摩天轮Flyer、牛车水和Clarke Quay。同样一早从柔佛出发，得知Bugis是个很好购物的地方，所以我们的第一站来到了Bugis，这次我们是乘搭从柔佛到Bugis的巴士直接到达的。可能我们太早来了吧，很多店都还没开，走走一下眼看卖的东西都和马来西亚差不多可是价钱更贵，所以也没有什么兴致去逛了，直接走到Bugis MRT Station搭地铁去Orchard。

在新加坡的几天，只买了一双Esprit的袜子，因为实在有需要，过后就没买任何东西了，果然新加坡不是什么购物天堂咧~留着钱去香港这个名副其实的购物天堂大买特买好过~在Bugis走了一下，我们就前往乌节路，因为要去看4层楼的Forever21（在313@Somerset）。

UNIQLO again at Paradigm Mall

Uniqlo has its new outlet opening at Paradigm Mall recently. I always wanted to buy their checker flannel shirt but it was sold at normal price whenever I visit Midvalley outlet, even during the opening promotion of Sunway Pyramid outlet. Since I am not in rush to wear that kind of shirt, I delayed my buying until yesterday when we visit the Paradigm outlet. In my last visit of Uniqlo, a tote bag (which I don't feel I need anymore recycling bag) is free for every RM200 spending, while this time they are giving out fleece blanket for every RM200 spending, of course they did giving out free for the first 500 customers on Thursday opening day also. However, I was not alert with the opening date and not planning to go alone too since Darling need to work. Even if I do so, I am not able to grab the free blanket as well, knowing that a customer reached there by 9.30am also could not get one. Yesterday, we actually went for the free fleece blanket and the checker flannel shirt even though if it sells at normal price. Surprisingly Paradigm Mall's Uniqlo has exclusive discount for that checker flannel shirt, what a gain (But other clothing we bought last time in Sunway Pyramid were neither having discount nor in stock)!

Men's flannel check shirt (Was RM79.90, now RM49.90!)

煎烤萝卜肉丸

家附近有间Jusco，我们一个星期肯定会去逛至少一次，因为我们常去它对面的饮食中心吃晚餐，有时心血来潮吃饱后就会去Jusco走走。而每一次去Jusco就算只是要走走消化消化而已，到最后我都会买一两样东西回家，有时是Watson的东西，而多数是买杂货，像蔬菜水果牛奶等吃的东西。那天我就买了一大堆蔬菜，有Brocolli、萝卜、咸菜、豆腐、冬菇等。这些都吃得七七八八了，唯独剩一条萝卜，我又不想直接水煮吃掉因为很难啃，刚好冰格还有剩一点Ramly的鸡肉碎，所以就弄了肉丸。第一弄肉丸，出乎意料的好吃，Darling一向来对我厨艺没什么信心的也赞好吃，呵呵呵。

第一步，鸡肉碎放了一点五香粉、薯粉、酱油、糖、绍兴酒、麻油来腌一会儿。腌的当儿我就把一点洋葱和蒜头切碎，也把萝卜切成碎粒，过后搅拌均匀。由于我切东西有够慢的，所以这些肉碎也至少腌渍了半个小时。

KFC a.m. Multigrain

Happy Friday! A wonderful day is not started without a good breakfast! Of 3 main meals, I love breakfast the most because it signifies good beginning of a day, and most importantly I always feel hungry when wake up in the morning. What is better than having a nice and satisfied meal after wake up from long night sleep? I especially love western breakfast, may be just a bread or egg could cheer me up for whole day. Today, darling initially planned to bring me go for McDonald's breakfast, but when we were on our way, OneFM DJ kept promoting KFC a.m. multigrain breakfast and claiming that there is 50% off for it! What to ponder about again? We straight drove to KFC just for it! 

Not many people queuing as like McDonald's breakfast promotion, in front of me just have 2 customers but still we have to wait 15 minutes for the burger

累透透游新加坡-Day 3 (Sentosa。Marina Bay)

那天在Universal Studio玩一整天后，我们隔天一整天都没有去新加坡，因为太累了，再加上Darling姐姐和姐夫休假，我们就一起在柔佛吃吃东西、逛逛街、游游泳，晚上Darling还请我们吃海鲜大餐呢~ 过着休闲的一天~

而第二天呢，我们也是同样一早出发去新加坡，只不过今天比较悠闲，由于Aunty要去她妹妹家做客，我们也没什么地方要去，就比较迟出门，这天算是我们在新加坡的第三天。早上和Aunty搭地铁去Yio Chu Kang站，等Darling表弟CK来地铁站接我们搭巴士去他家，在他家做客一下，顺便一起吃午餐后，我和Darling两人就自己跑去Sentosa Island走走啦，留下Aunty在她妹妹家打牙胶，谢谢Mary阿姨的招待，午餐好好吃，尤其是烧鸭~

长那么大，我从来没去过Sentosa Island，这是我第一次去呢（可能有不过我有记忆以来不记得有去过）~ 昨天去环球影城玩一整天，今天就继续去走走圣陶沙的其他地方~ 里面有很多Attractions（每一个有自己的收费），包括海边啦、Flying Fox啦、高尔夫啦、骑脚车啦、蝴蝶和昆虫公园、缆车、水族馆、像云顶的空中飞人体验、鸟园、Siloso堡垒等等的景点，不过，这些东西马来西亚都有啦，又不是特别好玩，我们就不想多花新币去玩了，纯粹在里面走走不用钱的景点。当然，我们还是付了S$3去搭Sentosa的LRT，一整个下午就花了S$3走透透圣陶沙。

今天同样去了Vivocity搭Sentosa LRT去逛圣陶沙的其他地方，今天我们的目标是要逛完Imbiah 和 Beach Station 的景点~ 新加坡的海岸都有满满的运输工业，连海上都是一大堆运输船，要看一片宁净又一望无际的海真是难~

累透透游新加坡-Day 2 (Universal Studio)

今天是去新加坡的第二天，我们决定花一整天在Universal Studio玩~ 今天是马来西亚国庆日，不过不是新加坡假期，自以为是地以为会没什么人潮，胆粗粗的一早从柔佛出门，出发到Sentosa去。我们也没有事先买入门票，因为怕遇到下雨天，打算去到那儿才买。

今天Darling妈妈和我们一起同游游乐园~ 一大早搭巴士去Kranji站，再搭地铁去Harbour Front~

累透透游新加坡-Day 1（聚会日）

我真的很糟糕，去年8月去新加坡的游记现在才要开始写，如果不是这个2012圣诞节要去柔佛和新加坡度过，我可能还提不起劲来写游记吧。还有好多好多游记在等着我呢，离现在最久的有沙巴游记，很想写，可是记忆越来越模糊了，希望真的可以完成吧，因为那是我第一次和中学朋友一起去旅行。

言归正传，这个新加坡之旅真的是累死我们了。原因是我们并没有订新加坡的酒店，反而是住在Darling姐姐柔佛的家，每天一早搭的士和巴士过关卡，到了新加坡后也是全程乘搭交通工具，不然就走路，晚上又排队等巴士从新加坡回柔佛，每天这样日出晚归的游了新加坡5天。

每天七早八早醒，然后搭的士去关卡，再搭巴士去新加坡~ 累是累，可是可以省下在新加坡的一大笔住宿费

CAFEi Conference

Last week I was attending a conference with theme "Bringing Engineering to Life", it was an international conference of agricultural and food engineering, held in conjunction with MAHA event. This was my first time really participating in conference as presenter. I never had a chance to attend a conference (try to recall one but failed to), previously was just some seminars, I thought. Attending such conference is basic to postgraduate student, although I feel quite reluctant to join, but no choice because I was hoping my paper could be published.

The day 1, after registration and collected the goodies bag, the event is then all about eating and boring speeches.
