Remember Barracks Woman?

Visited Dempsey for a movie screening in House, which consists of the nostagic barracks.

I have nothing much to say really, just that woman will know what an unforgettable experience this place held eh? haha

Make and Made

Atteneded Xingyu Huda and Lee Kai's art exhibition about the mask workshop that we did while we were in Philippines.

It's really simple and nice, definitely brought back many memories of that unforgettable trip.

The faces of those who went for the trip.

Me and Me
Make and Made

Life is indeed more complex than it should be now
The insatiable greed for even more material possessions have made us oblivious to the simplicity of joy
Looking back at their faces, I should really cut down on the excesses
I miss the simple life

In the Mood for Snacks

The amount of work that has been piling up simply whips up my appetite for snacks.

Here's some of the snacks that i am gonna try out.

1. Chocolates

What else could make you happy other than chocolates?

Decided to try something new for a change instead of royce, and the Godiva shop was just staring at me, so i decided to give it a try.

These are the new pearl chocolates. Little pearls of chocolate with various flavours such as coffee latte, mandarin orange, white chocolate. It comes with a pretty can and the packaging is great too. A lil pricey at $12 per can but its really really good. I recommend the mandarin orange flavour.

2. Marks and Spencers

Redcurrant puffs!! For those who have yet to try this crispy and tasty puffs, please go get them now! they are on offer. They are crunky and flavoury. 3 boxes at bout $8? Definitely value for money!

Sea salt chips! if you have a craving for chips, this is the place to get them too. Pretty pricey at $2 per pack though

3. Appetite

There can be no better company for these snakcs than a good magazine and Appetite is simply the right mag for me. Food, wine, luxury, period.

$8 a book 8 times a year. Grab yours today for good recommendation on food in Singapore

Lastly, wally has disappeared. sigh. what a dramatic change.

2008-10-11T23:44:00.002+08:00

I have been busy.

My apologises for the lack of yummy food for the last few weeks. I have been packed with hall stuff and school work. Nevertheless, don't worry, more good food to be up soon, especially now that i have found a great magazine, called Appetite.

anyhow, porridge buffet at suntec city convention.

Great price and variety for a decent meal. Worth the try!

2008-09-12T14:52:00.004+08:00

Now that i'm slightly over my loss of items... well, i can share with you some exploration of food that I went to last week.

Well WORLD FOOD FEST was in town last week. and i was like WOW. WORLD FOOD FEST LEH! So i dragged poor woman to suntec and i was greatly disappointed.

Firstly, it was like the common foodstuff. wheres the world's food???

In the end, lunch ended up at the Ship instead.

The Ship

I prefer the one at kl better. and i realised that i have not recovered from my losses yet. So i shall end here

2008-09-08T02:34:00.000+08:00

bad day.

lost my watch and my oakleys.

very bad day

2008-08-30T20:41:00.001+08:00

i think the loss of my handphone has made me a very lazy person.

Firstly, no handphone with a decent camera = to no pictures.

Which translate into asking dear woman to take them for me.

ie. supper at old hongkong last night.

Thus, having taken the pictures, she will post them on her blog,

which makes it redundant for me to post it again.

Hence, no new posts.

2008-08-22T00:54:00.002+08:00

the iphone is out today. and i cant afford it. sigh

why must it be so expensive.

ugh. damn singtel.

Christmas in August.

What a weekend eh. Busy shopping shopping, with groceries and a new bag, plus a new pair of shorts from woman. Our lifestyle in 10 years perhaps?

Congrats to dear shanice for finding a wonderful job with a great bunch of colleagues. Wishing her all the best yea!

Back to myself, school has been packed to the brim with lessons ending at 830pm on monday, tuesday and wednesday. What a timetable.
Deadlines are coming in everyweek and a paper is due tml as i type.

2008-08-14T17:28:00.004+08:00

The things that teachers have to do nowadays.

Not only do we have to teach, we have to sing, dance, act and look like we're having a ball of a time. Oh my!

2008-08-10T00:31:00.001+08:00

The bad luck continues.

I still cant find my fridge in 5 different stores.

With the last one being the most unlucky.

I entered the shop, saw the fridge and then was prompty told that it had just been sold to the man standing in front of me.

Damn.

Anyway, pictures from the AYF race

2008-08-04T23:16:00.001+08:00

NTU Convocation 2008.

Was 'volunteered' to help out in some of the ushering for today's event and it wasnt that bad of an experience as i thought. Seeing all the fresh grads made me for geared up for the next semester and i wanna be at this event too in 3 years time.

President was there today, and a certain minister, whom i do not know the name sadly. Quite a grand event i guess but there was something else that was good bout it.

Well the other thing good is the food!! Ushers get to eat at the VIP food line. woohoo

now i know which caterer i want for my birthday. hohoho

If you still do not know. Miss Venezuela has been crowned Miss Universe 2008.

But the funny thing is how do you judge the contestants from let's say, the swimsuit category.

All of them look great, have you seen the abs on Miss Columbia? But other than her, how come some can get a 7.3 when others can get a 9.4 in like 10 seconds?

But the thing is that don't you feel like the competition is always rigged.

The host nation always qualifies to the second round at least, which in this case is Vietnam. and the usual flock of countries are always there.

Oh well. at least they had a great song for the swimsuit category, but hideous dancing by the contestants!!

In case you missed it. Click HERE

Aston's Express

Tucked away in a coffeshop in Serangoon Gardens, is the branch from the original at upper east coast. i finally had the opportunity to try it with beloved woman before she left for australia.

Sadly though, it was really not up to expectations. The fish was decent enough, though i think the stall at the NIE canteen would give it a good fight.
The steak was really just bad. Had this weird taste to it, and it was a bad experience overall.

Think you should just stick to the orignal. Sigh

2008-07-06T22:00:00.002+08:00

i feel horrible. like seriously.

the feeling of hot and cold is definitely not a nice one.

having a fever of 38.8 deg now.

why oh why!!

Boanopstekker

The primary 4 kids were having dance lessons for PE today.

The dance is called Boanopstekker, which is a Dutch dance.

When asked what flower was Holland famous for? guess what was the answer that they gave,

The Holland Flower.

Anyway, take a look at the video. When we initially showed them the video on the dance, the 3 boys in the first video were screaming that it was lame.

But look at them now... haha

1. Instructions on how to do it

2. In small groups

3. Altogether now

Usher His mistake

2008-07-03T13:47:00.006+08:00

The adorable ones.

This kid told me a joke.

cute kid: Teacher, why did tigger put his head into the toilet bowl?
me: why?
cute kid: because he was looking for pooh.

They were acting out a scene from captain buckwash, this cartoon and they made their props and stuff. Really really nice for primary 4 students to do these kind of stuff. I don't even remember doing anything this fun during my primary school days. Oh well.

2008-06-30T19:35:00.002+08:00

Hello school.

First day of Hougang Primary. The kids are so adorable, unlike the kids that i will see at monfort next week i think.
The school is really cool i tell you, with outdoor adventure education as its niche, the kids have been up to mount kinabalu and dunno what other mountains, when even i have not.

In addition, high elements course such as the flying fox and rockwall facilities are available in the school.

Machines used for maths calculations. Inspired from the DDR no doubt.

It's going to be a fruitful one week. I can feel it.

2008-06-28T23:13:00.009+08:00

Japanese food galore.

1. Sushi Tei

It was my first time there today and thankfully it was better than sakae sushi. Like way way better. I think almost any place beats sakae sushi right? ok. now you know my dislike of a certain place.

Not only was the food better, i guess the ambience was better too.

Pricing was definitely worth it. bout $20 per person

4 stars for this promising jap restaurant.

Thanks for being there for all that has happened! haha

2. Shokudo @ Raffles Place

Japanese styled food set in a marche inspired concept of buffet dinning.

Food was decent. Reasonably priced and there were a wide variety of food.

However, food quality, was rather decent. Not wonderful, but decent.

3 stars :)

The Paradox of Love

This post is about some random thoughts which crossed my mind at 3.22am.

I will not call myself an expert or anything, but having just experienced the sadness that 2 of my friends had about their relationships, it has got me thinking.

When two people are in love, actions become irrational. You would start doing things that you would not normally do. Sacrifices have been made all for the sake of love.
You would do anything to see your partner happy, or am I wrong?

Another question for ponder, where is the fine line which differentiates being in love and being used to someone because you have been with him/her for a long time?

My stand is a simple, as long as she is happy, it's all worth it.

Any love gurus around to provide some answers?

2008-06-22T21:55:00.002+08:00

Sometimes, I really like the lifestyle newspaper on Sunday.

There are some really good articles regarding food, and today, it is bout european cuisines.

Anyone wanna explore them with me?

The KL trip

It was hastily planned and was about 2 days after i had returned from the Philippines.
Essentially, the aim was to climb and have good food and i guess the aims were met.

Firstly, as introduced by dear qilin, THE SHIP steakhouse.

Reasonably priced (astons pricing) and yet delightful on the tastebuds!

French onion soup was rich and tasty.

I have no idea how these tasted. Hate oysters

Grilled Chicken Chop

This is the prawn and steak combo

Minute Steak

Steak with oysters in it

Spag! with steak sauce! Unique and taasty!

To ask for your desert or bill, you just have to press a button.

u-hu-hu-hu-hu cheesecakes!

This is one disappointment. KL street food is definitely not as good as our hawker food. It was expensive, tasteless and repetitive.

Someone should really bring this back to singapore!

A&W !

The Malaysian version of Kenny Rogers, Nando, Nando!

Finally, the wall.

2008-06-17T22:05:00.002+08:00

To my team of 13 wonderful people.

It was really really really really sweet.

Having a cupcake that was baked by you guys was sweet.

The additional initials of our names made it even sweeter.

The card was just amazing.

Learnt so much from each and everyone of you during this trip and I really hope that I was up to your expectations and had managed to ensure that all of you had a great time.

I don't really express much i realised, BUT that does not means i'm void of feelings ok?

It was really such a moving gesture. You have no idea how much this means to me.

Thanks once again TEAM Affinity. Even though you might not actually read this post, but Thank you for everything!

2008-06-14T20:54:00.008+08:00

Aloha Philippines.

Sorry this took a little long, but after this trip i was in KL too. Henceforth the delay.

Many have asked how was this trip of my, and i have always found it difficult to describe it fully.

Well this is basically what happened.

Day 1
Departure

And we finally met them, with both parties surprised at how each other looked like.

The school that we worked with. Played some cultural games with them and conducted a mask workshop!

Don't they look happy?

The next day, Educator's Congress 08.

Gawad Kalinga (www.gawadkalinga.com)

The highlight of the trip. We didnt really contributed much to the building of the houses sadly, but the people there definitely touched our lives.

At the incomplete building site with the George Town University students that we met.

The finished product

Visited a viillage that was completed and we were in awe.

What was even more touching, were the people and the kids. We really ought to be thankful for our lives in Singapore and complain less, where other people in the world are living such a drastic difference in the living conditions and environment.

Cultural Exchange Day

We were also joined by Profs from Troy University

The end.

Well i did left out most of the details, but after reflecting through, I can safely say that it was definitely a life changing experience for each and everyone who was there with me.

Go team affinity!

A positive review!

Thanks to xing yu for this delightful place.

Located at Tanglin, near to Tanglin mall, hidden away in a corner is

The chocolate cake that we came for. Really Really good. The chocolate literally flows out of the cake.

Ok i gotta apologise cause i have no idea whats the name of the dish exactly. But the cheesy sandwich, which was delicious by the way, is the one created by the Hediard guy himself and its written on the menu.

here's the webby for those interested. Enjoy!

A New Grading System

This stall looks good ain't it. Shows you what good marketing can do.
This stall can be found at Lor ah soo, under woman's block.

While arriving for it to arrive. I was saying it is sure gonna be good. Hence, melissa gladly and gamely posed a good sign.

Then we realised something. What happens if the food is bad.
So we snapped another one showing that it is bad.

Then we realised, "what if its just so-so". Hence.

Finally the food came. And it was

The Verdict

Would use these to grade future food. I think its easier compared to stars =)

Zouk Yard Sale

Helped out with woman for this one.

An unexpected finding?

Stay tune for the chicken chop! Sorry bout the delay but have been really busy with the overseas trip planning. sigh. !

2008-05-18T11:11:00.004+08:00

The new canteen at can A has opened. Totally different from the old can A, this one looks more like a foodcourt, complete with aircon and fancy furniture

Tried the dish below, and it was pretty decent. However, prices have increased for the majority of the stalls. You have been warned.

East Coast Park Supper

New York New York

Figured that since the was a 'hip' stall in kovan, i had better try it. Sadly it was rather disappointing. Firstly, the mushroom soup was alright, but slightly on the salty side

Then we had some cheese fondue (pic not avaliable) which really wasnt my cup of tea, and the fish bites was simply ordinary.

Saw kuanyong there too, and his meat platter didnt look much better. Looks good but taste soso only.

Spaggedies at Marina Square

Another of my fav italian place.

Banana Crumble from Swensons!

To be continued, a new rating system that i will adopt to rate food! do stay tune!

2008-05-13T20:50:00.005+08:00

The story continues.

Decided not to put up pictures of the people involved. But anyway, think the man got caught

Food Galore

1. Geylang Supper

They are known as tau huay king for a reason, as the rest of their food. well, let's put it this way, is not too tasty.
Cockroaches were also spotted in the vicinity. Cleanliness is questioned.

Next up D88 Durian. One at $12. and it only had like 6 seeds. Definitely tasty though, however, i still think you are able to pick up one of this quality in the $2 basket.

2. Pasta at ambush: Taka food square, ambushed in one corner

3. New York New York has arrived in HEARTLAND MALL

Can you believe it? it's located on the second floor. Ok. heartland mall is slightly cooler now.

4. Katong Laksa

I don't know if this is the original one. But it sure tastes good! Best laksa i have tasted thus far.

5. Chewy Tart @ Bugis

Those who have not been there for a long time, will be shocked to find the number of changes it has, with emphasis on the food.
This is something new i guess. Its like bread papa but more chewy and more flavours. Worth a try.

6. Nomin Seafood Restaurant located opposite Upper Serangoon Shopping Center

First recommended by Mr Tay, this has indeed become one of my fav eating place. Food is great especially the soup!

7 727 Durian Puffs

After dinner at Nomin, pop by highland center, bout 5 mins walk, to savour the great durain puffs.

My fav puffs of all time. However the prices has been increasing. For a box of 6, it is now $4.20, when it was previously $3?

8. RK house at Serangoon Gardens

Not really fantastic or tasty. It is also rather expensive. Two pratas with egg and cheese and 2 teh bing, amounted to $8.40, but its RK house. It's famous if u know what i mean. Pork anyone?

2008-05-03T22:49:00.001+08:00

i have been lazy i must admit.

Have a camp next week which stretches from monday to sat,
from pasir panjang to pulau ubin.

Holidays officially start after that i guess.

sigh.

2008-04-27T23:16:00.005+08:00

Supper Last Night

First, choose your flavour. They have milo peng la.

Next, choose ur "mixes". Ranging from snickers to gummy bears.

Then, they will mash and mix it up as seen in the video

Then ta-dah!

Anyway, I had an eventful day, involving a molestation case on the bus. shall update tml instead :)

The Amazing Pen

Introducing the amazing pen that my fren gave me.

Firstly, at a glance it looks like an ordinary pen, but it is also a ......

Laserpointer. Fine, it's quite common for a pen to be a laserpointer. But it is also a ...

THUMBDRIVE. How cool is that la. haha.

The start of the exams.

Unlike last semester, this sem i have been doing some studying in the library. I was greatly appalled at certain things. Firstly, the library opens at 8.30 and people que at bout 8 to get into the scared heaven of As. No pictures of the crowd as obviously i will still be sleeping. Secondly, to get a seat is so difficult that even after you get one, you have to safeguard it. sigh. some people are just so . ugh.

2008-03-27T16:12:00.002+08:00

The NIE western food stall has opened a branch at Hall 11 canteen.
Not only do they have the usual stuff, they have added new items, such as the beef steak as shown above.
However, do note that the pricing for the food has increase by quite a bit. so prepare to pay more for it.

2008-03-21T22:29:00.002+08:00

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

cute song

Tree Hugger

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.

And the rattlesnake said,
"I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man."
And then the cactus said,
"Don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes."

What a good way to start off a week of intense studying and clearing of assignments and exams or mock exams for some.
Had dinner and shopping with woman in town at our fav pasta place. pasta cafe at take b2. and the all time fav slipper lobster fettuccine. I was just wondering and i realised it has been like 7 years since i first entered this place in sec 3? well, the food is great but the prices has been increasing throughout the years though.

Anyway, being an addict of meat now, i decided to try out the grilled combo, where theres fish, chicken and beef which is served in 3 different sauces. The fish was delightful, the beef was decent, too small a portion though, and the chicken is chicken.

Round 2 was at bartwurst where we had a salami and ham sandwich at ps. Pretty good i must say but not enough meat!!!

So thats about it, coupled with a few perfumes that i bought, it was pretty decent night. pretty decent.

oh ya. clam chowder is gross. never ever gonna touch that stuff ever. hum soup. sheesh

So what did the participants feel about the taste?

"pleased"

"anything but this"

anyway. Singapore won. woohoo! yog!

Well not exactly the same as the upcoming movie. well, poor classmate of my who was strap on to this mean machine i must say. basically, this machine measures ur vo2 max and analyse whether you are using your fats or the other systems. (cool huh).

After every like 5 mins, the speed will increase and not only that, the machine will become inclined!!! sheesh, if a marathon runner like him can last 20 mins, i have no idea how long i could have lasted.

anyway, did you know life sucks?

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

Valentwine 2008

Well, this year has indeed been different. firstly, sorry to disappoint woman. it was the first year where we did not make the trip to orchard for wrapping of presents of any sorts. well, no date for me this year, which is what i had wanted i guess. valentine's is overrated anyway huh. $199.50 for a usual $29.90 trip. sheesh. (yea check the singapore flyer). Instead i went for the free wine sample session in sch instead.

Anyway, so this year i've decided to make something for my friends instead. learnt this about 2 days back. and to the fortunate few who received it, be grateful k. haha its nothing expensive but at least its nice, i hope.

So alone in the room, waiting for ppl to send me presentation slides so that i can sleep. having a bad sore throat and cough. it will indeed be an unforgettable v day.

Kids on the street

As i approached my block, i saw 3 kids
aged about 8 - 10 the most, they looked at me, terrified
i looked at them
into their hands
and i saw cigarettes
is there nothing we can do to prevent these things from happening?
at that moment, i really felt like going over
flashing a card and then pretending to be a cop
hoping that this experience will stop them from growing into becoming a smoke
not that i have anything against smokers
but at such a young age, how can he knows what he wants?
alas, i walked past.
and sadly i saw them trying to light up the sticks of poison.
the power of peer pressure
if only someone could do something
if only

Bring it On

Hall opening aka cheerleading competition was on last wednesday.

firstly, didnt expected it to be so so so so crowded and filled with so so so so many people.
It wasnt to shabby anyway, they had practised on every other night la.

The Crowd

My hall came in 4th

The naughty teacher

Fairy god mother. my fav mascot

Work has been stacking like crazy and as i'm in hall as i type this entry.

and happy birthday wang yu!

sipahh is available in singapore! grabs urs now! saw it at ntuc.

Caught in the middle

Due to the many complains, i decided to visit Irene (the person with the scissors) at skizzors at serangoon gardens

however, just when i was about to say, " chop my hair and give me something short!!" her first reaction was, "wow, you look better with long hair"

moral dilemma, as i have no idea what to say now. So i told her bout the complains, and she asked me what i wanted. and i didnt noe. so i told her jus do as you deemed fit. and the results

Before

After ?

pls keep the harmful comments away!

2008-01-15T20:44:00.000+08:00

School has indeed been busy. But still i still have to share with you all my fav bak kwa!

pardoned the bad pictures, due to a lack of camera, hence i have to depend on my mac.

This was dinner a few days back.

Gary's imperial bak ku teh delivered !

As another festive event passes, yet another memory returns, and then fades away into the darkness.

2008-01-06T15:35:00.000+08:00

even though this came a little late, samsung finally called me after like one week after i filed a complaint.

and they made me an offer to repair my phone, but the rest of my warranty would be void.
long story but at least i can now trade it in! yipee

2008-01-06T01:35:00.000+08:00

what do you get when you have an alien + an alien hunting alien, with humans who cant defend themselves and start bombing themselves?

a lousy show. yes, even though i declared that i will not watch it, i had no choice due to me having caught the other movies on show already.

sorry if i spoilt the show for those who have not and will not watch it.

2008-01-04T22:12:00.000+08:00

Post Number 100 Sipahh Special

wow. this is post number 100 already. and to mark this special occasion, we have sipahh! the thing which i have been talking so much about these past few weeks.

But first, we have to thank the little girl and her brother for the sipahh!!

ok. firstly, many think its a milk.
But no, it's a straw! but a flavoured one

Today, i shall try the banana flavoured one.

First, you take a sipahh

Then you get a cup of milk

And you drink!

I feel like a kid again!
Cheers to school next monday!

2008-01-04T12:47:00.000+08:00

never have laksa (especially if you finish the soup) and kickapoo after which. you will have a bad tummyupset like i did.

Nevertheless, i proceeded on to Newyork Newyork for dinner. (sorry for the lack of pictures, havent got a new phone yet)

So basically, small serving, decent food, expensive price. 3 stars .... sigh. on a brighter note. across the universe was really good. really good.

2008-01-02T00:18:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year. yes this is xmas pictures, a little behind times but still i have yet to rave bout my xmas dinner.

Headed over to Tcc circular road, it has a gallery and nice seats.
TCC finally changed their menu! but not for the better. They removed my favourite mangolian chicken chop! ugh..

Anyway, i think they have definitely improved on the looks of the food. 5 stars for food presentation. taste wise, they were above average definitely.

But thats not the main highlight. main highlight is deserts at the chocolate factory, robertson quay. ok its called laurent something now . cant reali remember the name. Maybe u can zoom in on the first picture, the turquoise bag.

Crispy chocolate tart. Delightful

Chamomile tea

I love this the best. !! chocolate souffle. and guys, it takes half an hour for them to make it. so cool. they bake it for you on the spot. and its reali yummy. i seriously recommend this place to anyone and everyone

Ice cream was alright.

And the scary thing is... miss xingyu, yes cadbury's owner (exposed finally) said that there are two more places which are even better? oooo, robertson quay is my new hangout spot.

Happy new year once again! all the best for 2008!

2007-12-31T00:50:00.001+08:00

Oh Maria Maria

Tonight was me and danny's date with maria.
It was definitely a great experience. Top players playing in front of you don't really happen everyday and this will inspire to train more i guess.

She's real pretty by the way, and gigantic. at 1.88m she totally towers over everyone la.

And anyway, little girl passed me SIPAHH already!! yipeee. shall post more bout it when i start using it k . curious little boy signing out. Till 2008!!

2007-12-31T00:39:00.001+08:00

Ocean's 14. Yea the biggest con job of the year for me. only woman know what i mean eh. It ended with this packet of carrot cake. Geylang fried carrot cake at heartland mall hawker centre. Despite me going there at 645 am in the morning, i still had to wait for like 20 mins! Anyway, just to let you all know, my 2nd fav carrot cake after the changi village one.

2007-12-29T02:34:00.000+08:00

little girl forgot all bout my sipahh. so sad la. bad little one.

caught national treasure. give it bout 3 stars, not as good as the previous one though. but thats jus me.

Saw daniel twice today with someone. double dragon eh ?

school's starting in 2 weeks, and my timetable is almost complete, hopefully it remains a 4 day week. pretty pretty please.

2007-12-28T01:35:00.001+08:00

Little girl I want SIPAHH!

It's so cool, check it out CLICK HERE FOR SIPAHH

The link was actually a link to little girl. but she demanded it to be removed. and still refused to giv me a sipahh. sigh. horrible little girl !

2007-12-27T18:58:00.000+08:00

this is so infuriating. i have to pay $198 to replace the LCD screen for my handphone. Like what the fuck man. it's apparently corrosion which is not under the terms of the warranty.
what an unlucky end to the year and now i'm not getting the iphone. i have no idea what handphone to use.
ugh the beginning of the nightmare.

2007-12-27T17:07:00.000+08:00

Post Christmas

This December has been a memorable one i guess. There was my birthday, the beach party, Christmas, results. Genting was forgettable though.
Had a great Christmas dinner on the 24th. Hopefully i would be reinvited next year? (*winks)
A equally great dinner on the 25th (pics to come soon)
Spent loads on shopping and presents which totally blew my budget. Back to savings from next year onwards.
Has really been a hectic and busy holiday and weirdly, i cant wait for school to begin. My partial timetable is out and i'm all set for school i hope. but before that, new years eve party at indran's! the last event to cap a year which hasnt been too good i guess, especially in terms of people relations.

Anyway, pictures of tang yuan my grand aunt made. Traditional and nice, just the way i like it.

Woman's christmas card to me. i'll promise to be nice. i guess and it started last night! haha

2007-12-22T14:01:00.000+08:00

Dinner at Post Museum with woman.

Imported Drink

Free Bread with olive oil. (eeew?)

Pumpkin Soup (yucks!)

Tempah Burger

Red/white Linguine

Ok, the main discussion point at this dinner was what kind of food is this? Mediterranean?
well, acquired taste is definitely the best word to describe it. Edible still though. 3 stars.
but its quite afforable. all the above for $27.50. i think theres no gst and service charge.

2007-12-18T23:22:00.000+08:00

genting is an evil place.

2007-12-18T15:24:00.000+08:00

i am in genting once again. nothing really much to do over here. just taking a break from the hectic holidays i guess. Sorry i cant upload any pictures currently, stupid samsung phone broke down again. FOR THE 2nd TIME! my god. thank goodness my iphone will arrive by the end of december.
Anyway, wish me good luck as i hit the casinos. posted a small profit last night. =)

2007-12-14T12:12:00.000+08:00

i need help.
Thanks for the harddisk guys, but now, i jus realise that you can only use it on a mac OR a pc.
Which more or less defeats the purpose, because what i wanted to do was to transfer the files on my pc onto my mac.
Is there a solution anyone?

2007-12-13T14:41:00.001+08:00

Korean food with the little girl today. She has hence become my korean food mate.

BBQ pork belly!

Some traditional rice bowl thingy

"Nian Gao"

Wrap and eat.

The shop is situated in Chinatown. Its a lil small, but has a home feel to it. The boss is Korean and the food i guess is authetic korean food. Price is reasonable, our meal cost bout 43? However, BBQ could have been better, but then again, they dun specialise in BBQ. So Chang's BBQ here i come!

2007-12-12T15:21:00.000+08:00

Dinner with danny on Monday at Ding Tai Fund

Followed by drinks at timbres. Take care during your 2 weeks to yunan! remember my presents!

And since cadbury has not eaten at soup restaurant before, these are some pictures!

2007-12-10T16:14:00.000+08:00

what a busy week. and it is just about to get busier with me having to organise a trip to vietnam next holidays.

Sat was zoukout, and probably the last one, both for myself and siloso.
Here are some of the weirder pictures.
Check my facebook for the rest, which includes my birthday. So sorry to have increased your hit counter woman

Staying rooted for mambo

I had to try the food. sadly, its overpriced and it tasted horrible. Fancy using campbell's cream of mushroom as sauce.

He was wearing this oversize, Qoo (remember the drink?) shirt. What was he thinking?

Ah, the end of the night.
Oh well, that's daniel above upon the dawn of day, which signals the end of zoukout.
and we saw his cousin, who actually thought that the 3 of us were gay.
Unbelievable!

2007-12-06T23:08:00.000+08:00

Firstly, i like to say big thank you to all who came. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves, enjoyed the food and had fun. Thanks for the lovely gifts too. I apologise that the birthday pics are not up. But do visit woman if you wanna see some pictures.
But nevertherless, there are other interesting pictures too.

Today, was the first day of the CPR course.

I hereby name him anna sharapova misha burton.

Anyway, just realised that so many things have happened within such a short short time. People getting attached, and breaking up, and some stuff which i guess i cant post.

Ending with what JD said in Season 2
I usually don’t like thinking about the future. I mean let’s face it, you can’t predict what’s going to happen. But sometimes, the thing you didn’t expect is what you wanted after all. Maybe the best thing to do is stop trying to figure out where you’re going and just enjoy where you’re at.

And thats what i'm gonna do.

2007-12-02T23:55:00.001+08:00

It has been a busy busy weekend. hectic really. been helping out at the it fair on thurs, fri and sat before heading down to town with eddie today.

*Viewer discretion has been advised. This post is gonna be long.

The title of this picture is "who's who". Guess the seller and the buyer.
Yes, the two little kids in the pictures set up shop and sold their toy helicopter all by myself. My cousin and i were so impressed la. Seriously, we stood there for like 10 mins, and no adults came to help them la. Thats entrepreneurship

Dinner for today. Ambush. ok, its at the b2 of taka food square. All the way to the back. It really 'ambushes' you i guess. Have always wanted to try out the food at the area and today i had the chance to.

This is what i had. Its dory fillet something. Cant remember the exact name. I think its the Japanese fluffy rice. Simply excellent. 5 stars!! It has really been such a long time i tasted something this good. The flavour is rich and tasty and even though i'm not a big fan of the dory, it tasted fresh to say the least.

Eddie had the sweddish meatball pasta. Another delightful pasta. Even though they said sweddish, i think it tasted like my mum's meatballs. In the sense that, you can really taste that it is homemade. probably not made in Sweden but Singapore. Nevertheless, the sauce is somehow sweet. the garlic used were perfect as it was in the right size. oh my, i dun really noe how to put it in words. Try it to understand.

Overall, a must TRY. meal for 2 at $20.80. Affordable, no service charge.
HOWEVER, one down side, is that you cant choose where to sit, and we sat facing the wall (imagine the traditional jap rest) and being in the middle of nowhere, the ambience is probably lacking. But good food and good price = must try.

My mouth was still itchy, and this looked not bad. I wanted to try the chicken cheese balls but they were out of them. So yea, next time perhaps.

Ok, now is onto shopping. Saw so many nice nice stuff today. First up, espirit bag.

Guess shirt. ok. maybe it isnt that nice after all.

My FAVOURITE WATCH in my life. Issay Miyake. Simplicity at it's finest. Beautiful i tell u.

CK by edward. =)

2007-12-01T23:52:00.002+08:00

This was supposed to be up 2 days ago, but blogger would not let me load the pictures.
But anyway, if you have not realised, this is ding tai feng.
Xiao long bao is a must try. Sadly despite patronising them for such a long time, they have not even added any new dishes to their menu, which is rather disappointing.
Perhaps the amazing thing is the hairy crabs as seen in the photos below (you would probably have to zoom all the way to see it) at $40 per crab i wonder how does it taste.

Anyway, everyone was looking at them eating, coz they were like the only ones who ordered them.

and the christmas stuff are up. Hohoho. a chocolate santa!!

2007-11-27T23:04:00.000+08:00

all my stuff for sem 1 has been cleared. suddenly you feel so aimless again. i have been rotting in hall for 2 days already. jus busy exercising, playing tennis, running, etc.
IT show is coming out and i guess i'll be helping out.
Interhall tennis is up next week, and dumb gesl (my final final module) which i so love my group members.
Then, there's CPR course from the 6-8.
Well, guess it isn't that aimless afterall.
Dinner and movie @ town tomorrow! havent been there for ages.
and Christmas is coming!

2007-11-26T22:12:00.001+08:00

Before

After

Woo hoo, exams are over. Its a strange feeling this. But have since packed all my stuff and cleaned the room.
anyway, christmas spirit is in the air. woo hoo

2007-11-23T12:43:00.000+08:00

One more paper to go on Monday.
So we decided to head out for dinner. (Thanks for the ride)
and catch like the best movie of the year, ENCHANTED

It was simply like great, and exciting, i mean its like a fairy tale turned to life.
Absolutely off the seat action (i wished i was really off the seat)
oh well, i guess its the amount of war films i have watched.
which made me unable to forget the grim of reality

Till monday!

2007-11-21T02:22:00.001+08:00

Cadbury wanting to look unique (not that he isn't already)

His ever fantasy to be a mouse

and a dog

2007-11-21T02:19:00.001+08:00

meet cadbury :)

2007-11-21T01:30:00.000+08:00

ever told your friends "happy studying!" ?
i was asked by someone, (we shall call that someone cadbury) on how is it possible for such a phrase.
Upon further thinking, i think Cadbury is right, how could one be happy when studying, especially when you're studying on a man who supposedly killed 80 million or did i get my fact wrong?
so, please stop telling me to study happily.

back to studying, sadly.

Flying is Overrated

Got this idea from the tv. it is funnier on the tv though

2007-11-16T22:39:00.000+08:00

i was talking to my friend who is abroad currently and suddenly he mentioned christmas.
he started to say like all the decorations are coming up over there an he could "smell the spirit"
naturally he asked what i would want for christmas from dear santa (him most likely)
casually said a lv card holder, a new backpack perhaps how bout the iphone, then he stopped me.
and said,
"i want whatever you want plus additional. so whatever you wanted to buy for yourself, you could give it to me. =)"

dear santa. need some help this christmas. and hes so gonna get it when he's back

2007-11-15T19:46:00.000+08:00

It's funny but i think my computer played god today.
I had to clear my data of my firefox due to the error i get when accessing my school website.
And when i clicked the button
I realised that all the history and past stuff suddenly disappeared.
then, the stupid website loaded
Tried to retrieve the data, but it's lost
All i'm left is a nie website
a sign?
perhaps.
me thinking too much.
definitely.
