Did you guys miss me? Well, I apologize for neglecting you folks, I've been working my ass and blah blah blah with no time to breathe, let alone blog. On top of this, it almost a year since I started writing, I truly deserve a break. Hey, I promise that I'm going to try to be a little more active here, ya.

And YES, it's good to be back.....wowoo. To be total honest, I'm busy with my leisure stuff....not work.

However no matter how busy I am, my family always come first.
It's family day again.

Time: 9:30am
Place: Red Star Restaurant
Location: Chin Swee Road

Went to Red Star Restaurant to try authentic Cantonese tim sum. Here, dim sum is still served off push-carts in the traditional way. You have to chase after all those carts for the dim sum items you like, for chances are they either miss passing by your table, or by the time the carts reach you, the items you want are all gone.

The ambiance is in typical Cantonese fashion and the liveliness of this unpretentious restaurant will excite your appetite and prepare you for a sumptuous feast. If you're the type that enjoys browsing through a menu, then a dim sum restaurant is not for you.

They even served hot carrot cake on the cart.

For the novice, the noisy atmosphere in a dim sum restaurant can take a bit of getting used to. But it's a great way to sample a large variety of tastes and flavors without feeling overly full.

Damage: $60/- (4 persons)

After our “yum char” session, went back our old block which is just across the restaurant to take a look.

It's like a tour back to the past. Some of our old neighbors recognized mum even though we shifted out 11 years ago. I learned that there this kid, we used to play together. I remember when I last saw him he was just in primary school.

He died last year of an bike accident. He was just 26 years old.

Life is so dynamic and so unpredictable.
