Rosy Business aka 巾幗梟雄 Official Promotional Poster
I stayed at home for my Sunday to watch TVB drama serial. I watched “Rosy Business (Click on the link for Synopsis) aka 巾幗梟雄”, it is currently the top rated TVB drama serial but I think most probably it would be for the year 2009. If I have indulged myself with 17 episodes in a single day, it somehow informs you how superb and intriguing the drama serial is. It is really very intense especially the acting by Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang. This drama serial revolves around this family being the biggest export in rice business and how rice business defer from other businesses. As rice is the daily need of foods for human thus, they could not afford risk anyone with evil intentions from taking over the business. Sheren Tang in the show has the obligation to stabilize the sale price of the rice and keeps it affordable for the public. If not, the public will have to buy expensive rice and leads to serious consequences. Before she can achieve it, she has to overcome the overwhelming obstacles to protect her family and the business. It is a witty drama serial that portrays the scheming and benevolent aspect of humans. Just prepare a lot of tissue papers as there are many scenes that can cause you to be emotional and maybe you will end up wailing. I have finished the serial yesterday and it is definitely a must watch TVB serial drama of 2009.

I went back to NSC in the morning for our annual Community Outreach Programme. The purpose of this programme is to assist our needy patients and hopefully by doing this small act we can help them to tide over their deplorable state. As I reside in Hougang therefore I was assigned to visit those patients staying in Hougang with my colleagues. It was quite a fulfilling experience, witnessing everyone coming together to give something back to the society and of course our recipients were very appreciative, which made our time spent even more worthwhile.
At night, we celebrated Jia Wei’s birthday in advance at Empire State at Iluma. Empire State is like a cheaper alternative to New York New York. There is quite a lot of similar between the two, from the décor to the foods. Fortunately, Empire State can be considered as a good alternative to New York New York. After the dinner, we went to Minds Café since it is within walking distance and even though we spent an hour there but it was definitely an enjoyable moment.
Jia Wei's Sweetheart Birthday, because of the cake that we bought for him. Strawberry Sweetheart from Four Leaves

After work, I went to meet Samuel, David, Chris and Wen Jie for dinner. David introduced us to a Zi Char eating place called “Chin Eating House” at Purvis Street. Initial thought was it would be quite impractical to eat Zi Char at town district because our neighourhood’s coffee shops have it and there is no need to travel to Purvis Street. Haha, that kind of mentally, but it was a good recommendation, the foods are reasonably priced and even though the place was fully packed with people the servicing of foods are relatively quick. The service is quite good and the foods are scrumptious. Definitely, I would want to visit there again.
After the dinner we located ourselves to Minds Café which is a few shops away. I love their brownie served with vanilla ice-cream and their earl gery float.
The games that we normally play are as follows:
Jurassic Jumble
This game is something similar to heart attack. The first player to collect the cards with the same colour will take the bone discreetly. The rest of the players will have to snatch the remaining bones. The player who did not manage to have a bone will lose. Prior to that, you can exchange any amount of cards with any players to get the cards of the same colour. In the midst of exchanging there will be a lot of hollering because you need to get the attention of other players to exchange with you. It is a noisy and heart racing game.
Saboteur
For this game, there will be two groups of people the Saboteurs and the Miners. Saboteurs’ role is to prevent the Miners for obtaining the gold and they have to go all their way to destroy their paths. It is a mind game as you will not know who are the Saboteurs. It is all about plotting and framing other players to make yourself less suspicion if you are Saboteurs. As in the game, there will be more Miners than Saboteurs and everyone seems to be your friends.
Uno Stacko
This can be sabotage game; because you can allow the next player to draw cards and eventually making the stacko to collapse.
Uglydoll
This game is all because good eyesight and attention span. You must be able to spot 3 identical figures and stamp on it with the shouting “Ugly Ugly”. If anyone is able to fulfill the criteria, you can take the cards.
Taboo
You need to think on your feet for this game as you are given a limited time to help your partner to guess the word by not verbalizing those help words found on the card.
Sleeping Queens
This game is actually quite relaxing to play, just wake up the Queens and you have some power cards to help you to win. Quite an easy game that is not brain draining.
