Mrs Ng SK's Vanilla Butter Cake

I was craving for Butter Cake and came across Annielicious Food blog with Mrs Ng SK's vanilla butter cake recipe,and thought i try it out.  As my fridge left with a block of butter which is less that 250g (around 190g),  i thought i try out using half the recipe and make it into cupcake.  Makes 7 cupcakes.  Gave 4 of it to my friend and the remaining 3 goes to my stomach.

Singapore Turf Club (20th April 2013)

This is the 2nd time that i went to the Turf Club, not to bet on horses, which i do not know how to bet, but to watch getai.  The first time i went there to watch was last year on 29th Dec. That time admission to the Turf Club is $5 if pay by EZ Card/Cash Card, $6 if pay by cash. But  to watch the getai is free and admission is only after 5.30pm and those with kids under 12 will only be admitted after 6pm as Horse Racing ends at 6.15pm (That's what i heard when i went there the first time last year). 

This round, i reached at around 5.20pm, getai starts at 7pm,  and was told that can go in already.  And i can also go loitering around the place to look see look see.

Was curious how come never see any horses, went to ask the staff, was told that day it's Malaysia horses, so can only watch the horses on the TV provided there.  Singapore horses run on Friday and Sunday.

Kazokutei (10th April 2013)

Was meeting my friend for dinner and friend was suggesting going to Tsukado Nojo to try out the foods there, but when we were there, there was no Q, but was told to leave our contact no. and the staffs will call us when there is availability of seats which we were to wait for around 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours.  We went to walk about and in the end, we didn't eat there and went to another place to eat.
