Peppa Pig Figures

Sera had wanted to get the Peppa Pig figures for quite some time but we were not able to find it in any of the toy stores that we had visited.


Today, she finally found the Peppa Pig figures in the toy department of Metro. It seemed that these were new arrivals. The figures were sold in sets of two and there were many different combination sold: Peppa Pig and George Pig, Mummy Pig and Peppa Pig, Daddy Pig and George Pig, Peppa Pig and Zoe Zebra, Peppa Pig and Danny Dog, Peppa Pig and Candy Cat, Peppa Pig and Pedro Pony. Peppa Pig and Rebecca Rabbit as well as Peppa Pig and Suzy Sheep. She chose the set that contained Peppa Pig and George Pig figures.




She was very happy with her purchase :) .

Quotes from Episode 14 of 《球在你脚下》("World at Your Feet")

《球在你脚下》("World at Your Feet") is a MediaCorp production and is currently airing on Channel 8, from Monday to Friday at 9 pm.

I like these lines from last night's episode (episode 14).

梅仁信: 其实人生就像喝这杯茶一样,会苦一阵子,可绝对不会苦一辈子。

叶来香: 因为会越冲越淡。

梅仁信: 淡一点好啊!人生就是要简单,太浓的东西对人生不好。

Which can be translated as:

 Mei Ren Xin: Life is like this cup of tea. It may taste bitter for a while but it won't be bitter forever.

Ye Lai Xiang: The more water you add, the more bland it becomes.

Mei Ren Xin: The more bland, the better! Life should be simple. It's no good if it gets too complicated.

3-in-1 Tea

At times, I like to drink milk tea. By this, I meant the type found in Ya Kun Kaya Toast and coffee shops. I particularly like the one in Ya Kun Kaya Toast as the standard of the milk tea is consistent. 


One day, I had the chance to try Max Tea Tarikk. The flavour and aroma of tea was quite strong. In fact, a bit too bitter for me. With a teaspoon of condensed milk added, it was quite good. I was quite happy to be able to find this. I could finally enjoy a good cup of milk tea at home.

Some time last year, NTUC had an offer on Old Town White Coffee products and we bought 1 packet of Old Town White Coffee 3-in-1 (White Milk Tea). We were glad we bought it. We just needed to add hot water to it and the taste was just right. The taste of this milk tea was different from Max Tea milk tea. Nevertheless, both were good enough for us.

So for now, these two brands of 3-in-1 tea are my favourite. The only problem was, not all NTUC supermarkets sell them.
