Brunch

I was thinking of cutting my hair nearer the date to Chinese New Year, but then, my cousin is getting married in Mid-January, and my fringe is getting long and giving me the hint to have my hair cut.  My mum went to have her hair permed.  Before that, we went for a brunch.  


(1) My mum had the Century egg minced pork congee @ $2.20


(2) I was craving for Chee Cheong Fun with Prawn filing @ $1.90

 

(3) Ordered a Siew Mai @ $1.60 to share

The saloon i went to, the hairdresser who cut my hair is a Malaysian lady.  She travel every day to and fro across the causeway.  Recently i read from newspaper about jam at the causeway, so i ask her about it.  She mention that that she woke up at 4.30am and left her house at 6am and reach home around 11 plus.

She ask my mum if she goes to Malaysia, my mum told her she didn't go for a long time and then the hairdresser ask her not to go as now the trend is to kidnap elderly lady and force them to become maid.  I was surprise to hear her mention that as from what i heard is that the target is child.  I do not know, can anyone advise about that?

    I wanted to die laughing at your hair dresser's mouth saying the old ladies are being kidnapped to become maids. This is the biggest joke of the month.

    Nope, never heard of it. Sounds like BS to me. Bull Sh*t. If I am a crook, the only reason I would aim at old women is to snatch their purses. Old and weak, easier targets.

    If I wanna kidnap, I would kidnap kids or teenage girls. Selling prostitutes is much much much more lucrative compared to selling old maids.

    Not that I am a kidnapper lah. Just saying... :|

    Porridge is best taken on a cold day. Chee cheong fun looked good here.

    Hmm. I am not so sure about the kidnapping but better be safe. The world is no longer safe.

      Usually, i won't take porridge during cold day, as it makes me go toilet more often...

    My friend who stay at Johor and work in SG also the same, wake up 4:30am everyday, so pity.
    Never heard abt kidnap old ladies, but always heard abt snatch theft, kidnap children case. Very sad and shame to say always becareful when you travel to this country.

    I like century egg and minced meat porridge with lots of ginger. Hmmm kidnap old ladies? Maybe they will target and cheat old ladies of their money.
