Being the middle child...

2011-11-23T19:37:00.002+08:00

... is not any better than being the 1st or 3rd.

As a child, you wear hand over clothes. When you are a grown up, your elder or youngest siblings always get what they want, what they wish for.. but nobody really care about you, besides yourself. Everyone in the family is always showering their other childs and you are always the last on their mind. Be it business, money, car, food... you need to use you bare hands to own it.

Let's talk business. Wanting to quit my job, but look here.. that's what mum say.. your brother is coming out from army soon.. so he needs a job more than you. Its like i can't even work in the family business. I have to continue working outside.

Fine. I got a business which i wanna set up. Knowing my family doesn't have spare cash for me. I will get my own capital or business partners. But when my brother say... i want to own a business. The thing that they thought is how to get the capital for him. I was stupid enough not to open my mouth to ask. And here.. what my mum say... you are a girl, you study so much, you should just stay, work and be an employee. What a thinking?! at this era? Just because i'm a girl, no.. lady means i can't be my own boss? I have to be under the nose of others?

Car... i don't understand why when it comes to you being involved in an accident, they will say.. i buy you a car. don't ride. but after the accident, you asked for a car.. and they said 'take bus'. So why is ita 18 year old boy who just passed his licence got a car? Why is it when my sister got out from poly got a car?

Why is it when its even furniture, tv.. i need to use 2nd hand while my siblings get the best or the newer one?

life seems so unfair. but being the middle child, i learnt of independence. although i kept quiet as i don't wish to see unhappiness, but this doesn't mean i don't care or i have no feelings.

Strangers from the past, present & future

2011-02-28T23:09:00.002+08:00

Almost everyday I will see you, see your blond hair, see you with other people. I do admit that i could not forget but thinking back of you showing concern for someone more than me, buying bags, passing your credit card to her, cleaning & tidying her tables, going on holiday. The actions to me were all one side Love. I feel sad because you are involved with someone that you shouldn't be with in the first place, breaking up people's family, happiness or not I don't know, but it kinda disgust me.

Although we work in the same premises, walk past each other, we are transparent. No smile, no hi, no bye... All we are... strangers.

A fruitful Saturday

2010-11-20T23:31:00.003+08:00

went shopping for oven. baking equipment, cookie cutters etc.. cool, gg to bake next week. went for harry potter show, but before that.. i went to shop for bike, finally manage to get.. im getting it next week.. yayy!!

Unsure

2010-08-30T21:26:00.002+08:00

saw that you got a ring, and don't know why you got it? And then you didn't wear it, was it even yours in the first place? And it was at your 4th finger. not forgetting you didn't wear the watch i got for you. you have forgotten about everything.

enjoy what you are having now.

goodbye.

priorities changed in life

2010-08-22T12:39:00.002+08:00

if you happen to read this, this post is for you.

i was thinking back the past, running through it. i realised that its not difficult that people tell we broke up. i asked my friends, why would they know?

because...

1) you used to comment back in fb or join me for our outings
2) you been hanging out with your friends as much as you were with me

friends, when i meant not really friends but colleagues. that people think its way too close. hanging out wherever there is a chance together.

and if you remember, what i meant by i was disappointed over one thing. and this one thing is still clear in my mind. remember, we watch this movie, "letters to juliet" at cathay, rem what you told me? i pass you the money, go home after the movie. i go look for xxx. on the whole journey home, i asked myself if that xxx is so much more important than me? if she is just your friend, and if i am your girlfriend? it seems like otherwise. that you have cross the line to become more than what you should treat your girlfriend n friend. that's when i realise i was not in the 1st place anymore, that i was in somewhere below. and that's when i felt that things really changed, and i couldn't accept anything like this.

but well, breaking up really makes you happier now, and me too. i won't dwell on the past, although there are times i think of the memories we had together. i will move on, and as you're moving on, i wish us all the best in whatever we seek. take care.

Dear friends

2010-08-15T20:15:00.002+08:00

I was reading the letters, cards from the past. These letters are more than 10 years old. Was touched, amused, surprised by the content. that was very very funny. And i think that writing letters should still be practiced, because it's a memory that we would always remember, and is much more personalised than writing on the internet.

i will always remember and cherish what was written, because it marked a difference in our past.

Yesterday class gathering, for a group of people whom have never met each other ever since we graduated from SJC. With friendships as old as 12 years, or even from primary 1. we may not be as close as what we used to be, but i will always remember you although i didn't express out, it doesn't meant that you are forgotten.

THANK YOU friends of mine for bringing me those valuable memories of my past.

loves today

2010-06-24T11:42:00.002+08:00

today is just thursday, but finally i could lay my hands on my favourite books. i'm only at chapeter 3 of the Vampire Diaries The return: Vol 1. Nevertheless, I am very confident that i will finish this book by 2nd week of July.

I always wanted to read a book by the beach, suntanning. Ok, is my imagination but it seems so cool. Or maybe travel the world with my storybook. ha, another imagination of mine. But if my bag space isn't a concern, i will bring it around.

i got myself a hair dryer, philips brand. Hmm.. i like the color, it isn't expensive as compared to Braun. It has this big comb kind of thing to attach to the hair dryer. but its for wavy, curl hair. Too bad, i do not have curls anymore and my hair is short. But this is way much better than my sister's Iona.

Oh, i manage to strike out alot of items in my to-do list this week! Woohoo..

I need my pay, i need my dear to buy me gifts. Shopping, honey?!

I wish myself the best of luck. RWS on wednesday? LOL. ;)

Today, not a really fantastic morning

2010-06-22T11:44:00.002+08:00

I woke up early, but still late for work. Still thought of leaving on the dot today, so i can do my shopping. On my way here, i realise.. i didn't bring my "sandwiches" out, and i will be out for the whole day.

Luckily, i found some spare sandwiches in my drawer, that saves my life. it's the 3rd day. And i lost my hair clip, which i only used it for like less than 3 weeks.

A whole lot of 'to do' list
- Hair clip from HELEN
- Hair dryer
- Dress
- Repair my heels
- Waxing
- Diet list
- Movie

TGIF

2010-06-18T15:31:00.003+08:00

I love today, today is not an ordinary normal friday. hmm.. 2 more hours before i knock off. how i wish everyday is like today. :)

was surfing for GTS300, a lovely bike. fast speed, it only takes 4.3 secs to reach 50-80km/h! woo, im getting excited already. i should ask for quotes first. and get my bike once i pass my 2a.

Craving for

2010-06-16T09:47:00.002+08:00

the bed. is a very nice weather to sleep in. now i miss my bed, my bolster, my pillow, my smell.

i'm getting sleepy in the offc, after eating dumplings. the tea just make me more thirsty. i kept drinking water. don't tell me my pms is coming soon? but aint it like.. on the 21st? soon indeed. no wonder my temper & my tiredness.

gosh!

at this moment

2010-06-15T18:00:00.001+08:00

my life sucks big time, having to protect myself in this unfriendly world. how scheming can people be. telling out loud that i sent to the wrong email add, but in fact i know i didn't. so no matter how hard it goes, what impression people get. i will still fight and stay true to what i feel is right.

i need someone to talk. where are you? when will you see this, and even call me & ask how i am? xxxten......

Stay away

2010-06-15T16:19:00.001+08:00

Now i do know the feeling of being rejected. Thanks.

So much for my concern and initiative, this is what i get in the end. I'm telling you now, my mood is screwed. for the time being at least, so stay away from me.

Bora Bora

2010-06-09T14:46:00.000+08:00

Let's go there next year.

i will

2010-06-09T10:29:00.001+08:00

i will rather write and not post.

embarking on a new journey

2010-06-06T16:17:00.002+08:00

i got the courage, finally to enrol myself for class 2a. yes, yesterday was the 1st time after 7 years riding a manual bike. thanks, i was the only female during that session, and for the theory too. so as usual, the guys all went for the further bike, and me ended up being the 1st one in the row. so gentlemen of them.

the weight is heavy. i have a lil problem at first lifting up the bike. almost fell of my bike during the narrow plank, i was the first to make a fool of myself, and i miss quite alot of cones for the smalon pylon. But of cos practice makes perfect right. so end up, i have to repeat my lesson 1. hmmm.... gosh. 2 more wks to lesson 1 again. =)

i must tell myself,i can do it. cos i have already aim 1 bike. and is VESPA GTS 300. omg, so cute & chic. Red is the color to go.

Time

2010-04-29T15:57:00.002+08:00

It has been 3 months since i last update this blog, since i have amended anything. guess these songs are outdated already.

was watching defeated queen or my queen, finally spend nights to finish watching the 21 episodes. the story was touching, Ethan looks good in that movie because of his character. Well, i am now watching Fated to love you again. Wonder 10 years down the road in the future, will i be like Shan Wu Shuang. Hey! I'm thinking too much, really too much. It seems like this only happens in drama, and not reality. Let's just face it.

10 years have past, and yes.. we are having a sec 2 class gathering. The memories will bring us back together. and what will it be? comparing, when getting married, the job etc? Ahh.. its always the same old questions. But still, I am looking forward to the gathering, which was supposed to be in May, then Jul and finally Aug. And hopefully it will be in Aug. 10 years later, what are we going to talk to each other? About old school days? Maybe.

Suddenly, i saw flashes of my dream. Funny, but the dream to work in starbucks came back. They are hiring now, so should i leave and start over again?

Do i sound sad? It must be those emo songs that i am listening to right now. 2 More weeks, and I'm outta here.

My sponsored child

2010-01-02T14:01:00.002+08:00

it's a new year, 2010. And i had received letter from Worldvision Sg to inform me of my sponsored child. It's successful, and i managed to sponsor the one i wanted to. It was 'love' at first sight, i knew it was him that i had to sponsor. he is 7 yrs old now. i must remember his bday, so that i can send him birthday cards etc. I will visit him at his hometown in cambodia, maybe a yr from now. Wondered if i could bring him out of his community for some traveling?? hmm... im going to crack my brain to write a letter to him.. now!!

November post

2009-11-14T23:29:00.002+08:00

Well.. indeed i did not post anything up in such a long long time. now here i a.. writing something. it was my birthday, and i had fun. went to zirca, wasn't very fantastic, is boring in fact. nothing much. But i do have my surprise. my gf came, with a bouquet of flower, roses in fact. my friends threw me a surprise, a slice of bday cake. well.. i knew about it, but only when she was stopped by the bouncer.

the actual day was lunch at wild rocket.. well, i simply guessed that, not sure why.. but it seems like i could predict that. it was great lunch, although is raining very heavily. the place is small, i could just count the no of tables. not sure why there were many people having lunch, cos its located away from the city. i had a 3 course lunch, with soup.. the cream of carrot. yummy. they had this few drips of olive oil on top. i could just taste that. and the wild rocket burger. yummy juicy beef. i love their dessert, the milk ice cream with caramel. i'm not a caramel fan, but that caramel is nice cos its something different. different from what we usually have.it had this pinch of salt thingy. and you can feel the raw sugar in it. so after lunch, we went to the cathay to watch 2012!! Finally, the show is out.. the grand cathay cinema was packed, and when i bought it @ the counter, the digital only left the 1st 3-4 rows, compared to the normal movie, left the 1st row. not sure why people didn't want to watch the digital. i thought it is better than the normal movie.

the movie, was about the world coming to and end in 21 Dec 2012. the earth destablising. i love the effects. and those action. i often wonder.. maybe bing in the sky is better, at least you won't get killed. people got hit by the rocks, the buildings and then the tsunami.

I needa lose some weight

2009-09-29T14:35:00.002+08:00

I realise although i skip those oily food during lunch, my weight didn't seems to get any lesser. Maybe i didn't skip dinner, i still eat as usual. But still, i need to limit myself, and start running weekly. AT LEAST ONCE! i'm seriously writing this blog entry just to remind myself that i need to shed some kg. i need to visit the salon more often, and i need to eat subway more often minus those cookies. Also, i need to play mj, so that i won't have lotsa time eating, or sleeping early. Maybe that's a good exercise too. Whahhaha... excuses.

Movies

2009-08-13T11:01:00.002+08:00

Wow. There's so many movies i wanted to watch this month. Hmm.. Bruno, a frozen flower, GI Joe, where got ghost, the proposal... I had just watched UP, a cartoon by Disney & Pixar. I would say its average, although is touching. Not much of funny part, can watch on weekdays as it is not really worth on weekend. =) I'm going broke by visiting the cinemas...

I'm so hungry right now. Waiting for lunch time!!

That good o' times

2009-07-10T14:59:00.002+08:00

I was reading through the messages, and always realise the past is better. Maybe not all, but at least some. The sweet old good times. it wasn't that bad last time, sometimes i just couldn't stand. so i rather sit.

i read that message dated 25 mar 09.

it isn't worth

2009-07-07T20:53:00.001+08:00

I realise i wasn't been put in the 1st place, and i'm not even sure if there is a place. I was like the last to know, or i have to find out myself. why? why is this happening? why didn't you even send me an email, although it maybe a forwarded mail. why is her name 1st, rather than 2nd/ or 3rd or even in the list?

I've curled my hair

2009-06-21T15:02:00.002+08:00

Friday my off day, i waited for that day for very long,since like 2 wks ago. ppl say is nice,i think is ok, it indeed make me look older.

i've just watched ghost of girlfriends past, just yesterday. the show was funny, you can expect the ending anyway.

my gf bought me a pc during the fair to play my sims 2, but i don't seem to love it as much as the past. maybe sometimes when you get something, you just have another kind of feeling.

so fast, mon is approaching, another week...

Back from Japan

2009-04-16T21:34:00.002+08:00

8 days just pass so fast. I took JAL to osaka. is like 7 hours journey.

day 1:
went to osaka castle. the sakura is nice, beautiful. its like a street full of sakura.. the castle is grand, they have this capsule which stores what the people used now, and then the capsule can only be open in like 100 yrs n 500 yrs. thus, the future generation know what we used in the past. and the great thing about this capsule is that even bomb can't destroy it. after the osaka castle, we head straight to shinsabashi, the shopping st in Osaka.. ate ramen as my late breakfast. I forgot that sin and japan has an one hr difference, so of cos met my tour members late, as i'm still searching for majolica mascara for my sis n friends. next up is universal studio.. yayy.. there is hard rock beside it. and we live next to universal studio. i can see the roller coaster from my room view. The rides are similar to what i took in US, but still i like to play the jurassic park. its scary still, you drop from high above. Bought sharkie bed room slippers. Saw fancl being sold at Lawson, and some cosmetics. had dinner buffet @ hotel and then off to bed. gotta wake up 630 the next day.

day 2:
has breakfast buffet @ hotel before heading out to textile centre to watch the kimono show. then to kiyomizu temple. is a temple that has thousand yrs of history. they are renovating a lil right now. i like the streets along the temple, they sell alot of food. and japan spend a huge effort on the food packaging, which looks very pretty. i learnt how to pray like a japanese. throw a coin, clap 2 times, make your wish, and clap the last time with thanks. sit the trolley train to see the scenery & sakura. is beautiful, looks like those chinese action movie that film in those bamboo place, mountains, hills etc. after that, drive through gion to see maiko and geisha, their entertainment district.

day 3:
set off early to go mt fuji, but of cos there are alot of stopovers. took the bullet train to go to hakone, the boiling valley. walk up the hills, to smell the sulphur. this place has the famous black egg which people claim that your life will be extended for 7 yrs if you eat 1. max is 2, more than 2, it will backfire. the egg is cook in the sulphur water that was left by the volcano eruption many years ago. after that, we head to mt fuji, went up to the 5th station. the weather is like 9 degree there, freaking cold if you stayed up there for like more than 15 mins. took pics on the ice. after that head to hot spring inn to soak in their hot spring.

day 4:
leaving the mt fuji region, moving on to tokyo. went to red light district, shinjuku and then to the asakusa kannon temple. took the tokyo bay cruise and pass by the rainbow bridge, saw the 'statue of liberty' and went to odaiba shopping centre, deckss. odaiba shopping has aigner b, which we bought bags from there. they have coach, lactose etc.went to venus fort for shopping too, they have burberry blue label, and toyata showroom. head back to sunshine city prince hotel. going to stay there for 3 nights. the hotel is located in ikeburuo, has the shopping centre beside it, and located nearby is mitsukoshi, seibu, parco etc. has louis vuitton. =)

day 5:
Disneyland.. sat the space mountain, waited that for 2 hours, lucky there is fast pass, so i can sit other rides. besides that, took the grandprix, 3d show (honey. i shrunk the audience), canoe, haunted mansion, startour etc. after that, went for a 9 course dinner together with the rest of the tour members. head straight to LV, they close early like 730, the outlet near my place. finally bought my neverfull damier. muacks, i love it. thanks to my gf who help to chip in a 1/4 of the price.

day 6:
when people fly back, we are still here to shop.. bought clothes, bags. went to ginza, mitsui factory outlet, which is located at outskirts, need to take like 30 mins train from tokyo station. went to ameyoko for a morning walk. also, to shibuya and harajuku.. i walked like more than 10 mins to go to harajuku from shibuya. manage to get ettusais, is cheap. wipe off their refill from the counter. is like half the price of what sin is selling. H&M, GAP, accessorize etc... legs are aching after a full day of walking.. oh ya, their fast food is expensive. e.g: kfc, mcdonald, lotteria, wendy etc.. is like $10 a meal. hmmmm.... end the day with ramen.. yummy.

day 7:
went for shopping at the nearby area. the seibu, where we bought burberry black label shirts, aigner b shirt and clothes.. then went back to hotel to take the airport shuttle, is 1 hour. fast. so when we reach the narita airport, we check in, had meals, walked around and do some last min food shopping!!

day 8:
back in sin!

photos are uploaded in facebook.

next holiday... many choices.

Fooseball

2009-04-03T18:28:00.003+08:00

These past few days, at work.. during lunch or even after work, i've been playing fooseball. It's fun, entertaining. It's nice to play with colleagues, striking and defending. Suddenly, i was having a weird idea, to purhcase 1 & put at home and play. ahha.. Suppose to go off at 5.30pm today, but stayed back since dinner @ clark quay is at 7.30pm. have lotsa time, like 2 hours to waste. good thing that lina is meeting her friend at 7pm, so she can acc me for a while.

4 more days and i'm flying off. alot of my friends have asked me to buy for them mascara, cosmetics etc. since japan is selling good quality one @ cheap price.

i've change money twice, and it should be enough after the deduction of tips etc, and my bag $$!

mr. curry.. i'm feeling so hungry. just had japanese food @ 1 of the restaurant in central today, and later going back to eat again.

yummy

Yesterday

2009-03-28T10:40:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was the past, that's why its part of memories. remember i went to eng hoon st to pick up my gf, and saw people filming. the road was block, i gotta come in by another way. there were 'police' blocking the road, diverting the traffic. i think they didn't know how to stand. when i want to turn right, at least move away. still can stand in front of me. well, i suppose its easier for him to move, rather than for the bike to move. he can just step to where his colly is standing, but nope! he stand there like a statue, me n him looking @ each other. what for?

went for a jog around the new achorvale cc, and realise they have this indoor swimming complex. Good!! they have slides, jacuzzi. think is more for kids, but looks good. i don't think they have wave pool. hmmm.. shall visit there 1 day.

it was a pity that L word is out with their last season. That means, there is no season 7. how i wish they can write more. its nice. i was watching the 1st few episode, and i like it. i miss it alot, its like having to wait for a year before it released. kinda disappointing to find out this season has only 8 episodes. means is very very short. i can just finish it in a day if i want to. well, just as i expected, that jenny & shane should end up together. and they did, in episode 3. not so sure about the rest of the episode.

i'm counting down the days.. getting more & more excited. dbl o tonight!

Hotel for dogs

2009-03-25T11:49:00.003+08:00

Manage to catch it only yesterday. Didn't know the movie was out. well, i realise i've been missing out on quite a number of movies. This movie has not failed to meet my expectation. I'm entertained throughout the whole 100 minutes. It's nice, especially the part where they accept more and more dogs, and you can see all the different breeds, a 3-legged dog, make me recall of an email that has been around for long time (a dog that has 2 legs). That part is where the social worker called out the names of the dogs, and the history of each. and each of them appear when their name was called. Another one is the creations of those automatic machines, like they have their own toilet, entertainment, meal @ table etc. Fascinating to see what those dogs can do.

I'm happy for another reason, which my Japan tour is confirmed, means i'll be away for 8 days for my holiday. I can't wait for disneyland, universal studios, hard rock cafe, the sakura, temples, bullet train ride, hot spring bath, the food, the shopping for cosmetics and lastly, my LV bag! Hopefully, the Yen become weaker, so i can change more Yen with my that amount of SGD!!

And another reason is... i manage to get my hell kitchen game. Sims 3 coming up? or is it out already? argh.. a desk top needed to play that game. and then i'll be home for the rest of my life! hee.

Marley & Me

2009-03-05T11:21:00.002+08:00

Manage to watch it last saturday, didn't have the time to blog about it. My schedule was kinda tight lately, have been sleeping early like 11pm, i can't hit over 12 or 1am already. But today will stay up late to watch Hell's Kitchen. Nice.

Marley & Me has a sad ending, bcos marley was put to sleep due to stomach being twisted. He was a clearance puppy, which was offered cheaper than the rest, i guess the lady who sold it knows his character. He was a disater at home, often chew on things, and can't be off leash. well, he sounds a little like goofy i realise. can't be off leash. he poo at the beach, after many years when the owner decide to take off his leash. Nice movie, worth to watch! there are many funny parts also, like attacking the trainer, and was banned from the training class. he wasn't really acting like a dog, even if he is.. he was a family dog, so sweet waiting for the kids outside of the house near the road. he just know.. i wonder how dog knows what time you're back? bcos of the sound?

How i spend my Sat

2009-02-22T10:22:00.003+08:00

Woke up early in the morning, went to acc dear to her office to pass some things. Then, to suntec to buy BK Breakfast so that we can enjoy when we are at Sentosa, since we are taking taxi, going straight to Palawan. Reach there @ 10am, the sun was good. Bright then dim a while, but still there is sun. Manage to tan for 2 hours only n left bcos of a noisy group beside us, which make us difficult to sleep. hmmm.. but we felt there was a drizzle too, so leave before it gets bigger. When we were showering, thank god that we are already in the shelter, n not escaping from the beach to the sheltered area. Left sentosa early after fixing lunch/ shopping date in town. Town was raining too. omg, we didn't have an umbrella, and luckily we didn't buy one, or else it will be wasted. Cos the heavy rain was just a short while. Manage to wrap my phone @ g-mask. seriously, it is ex & they didn't wrap it very nice. i told the girl that my camera is a pull out one, and show her. She nodded. But then, when i picked up my phone after lunch. hmph!! i can't pull my camera. obviously,she taped over. and she wasn't @ her desk. she went for break.

We walked around town, went to eat ayam pentyek @ lucky plaza. Went to LV, gucci and DFS. Well, her friend (ade) manage to get a cardholder. I was still thinking of which LV bag to buy. But then i think, i will be determined not to buy until i go japan & see the difference. I'm still looking @ the LV Neverfull Damier which is only available in Japan & Hawaii. Sephora, a new shop was opened in Taka. well, is like Sasa, selling perfumes, make up etc etc. So we just walked and shop around, up and down in town until 11pm came and there is when we watch the movie..

Watched outlander. It's a nice movie, i wouldn't say is fantastic. but it's worth to watch! fighting the alien.. About this guy 'outlander' crash into the human land, after his people are attacked by the 'mauiian', whose family was killed by them, as they in search for the land, and killed these beasts with fire. Unluckily, 1 didn't die. That's the cause.

Effect is that the mauiian was on board of the ship, and ship crash. And feast on the humans there. Well, most of the people (king(s),other tribes etc.) died. There were 2. 1 big & 1 small. i suspect is that they are father & son. Well, i don't know how there can be a small one, but i guess was given birth in the human land? and to cut things short, he became the next king.

Rise of the Lycans

Happened to catch it last week when it's out. didn't have the time to blog about it. I think the movie was a lil too confusing, as it should begin as part 1, instead of 3. kinda short movie. after watching for a while, then i understood the storyline, quite slow ya?

That isn't any kate beckingsale. seriously, i thought that was. But anyway, the girl looks like her, a lil. so the story goes way back, why victor was asleep in part 1 or 2. And the lycan breed. They were being treated as slave, working for the vampires. and the vampires are the noble one. Victor never like the idea of his daughter failling in love with the lycan. Then she was punished to be burnt. I like the idea when its time for the vampire to sleep, it happens every century.

I've just got a new phone! Is SE C902, in red! Nice & sleek. My old one has retired.

Tonight, shall visit the white partY! Happy valentine!!

Seafood feast for the past week

2009-02-10T10:44:00.002+08:00

ever since cny, i don't know how many times i have been lo hei, guess like 5 times this year? and twice in a day? i had prawns, crab for every meal. how much cholestrol i have been taking in? yesterday lo hei with my colleagues, and feasting on the chicken rice, cereal prawns. yummy yummy, not forgetting 1 kind lady made almond logan. it was sure delicious.

Last week, i just had crab feast with my secondary friends at House of Seafood. There were butter crab (yummmy) chilli crab (i think ban leong is much nicer), and loads of dishes.

Yesterday dinner was at bottle tree park, is about $50++ per pax, had yusheng, shark fin soup, steamed garoupa, brocolli w/ scallop, butter cream lobster, roasted chicken & crispy duck,oyster & mushroom, chilli crab & mantou, braised pork, watermelon sago. my gf wasn;t there to help to deal with th crabs & lobsters, so of cos i just dig out whatever i can for the lobster, but for the crab, brought to the next table, and got my mum to do it for me. It was sure filling.

Thursday another feast waiting for me, at ahyat seafood restaurant. bamboo clams, yummy & crabs..

The daughter also inherit and discovered she was a silver tongue, when she started reading the wizard of oz. Then toto come alive. Adventure starts off, and is between the good and evil. The comical thing is Fari (the 40 thieves), and one of the henchman of capricorn exchange role. Worth the $$!

A fruitful weekend

2009-01-19T10:03:00.002+08:00

friday, was a day when i go dragon boating with my colleagues at kallang. the water was dirty & salty. can you imagine, it stinks of fish? overall, it was quite fun, especially its like a once in a lifetime, trying that. After the dragon boating, we went to sakura at safra tampines to eat buffet. the buffet is getting better than what i had with my family many years back. but then... if you eat like once a while, the taste should be still quite fine.

in the evening, wanted to go cookie museum to try out their cookies & tea, but it was fully booked, and even though we reserved a place for a later timing, there are no seats still. so i don't want to wait for one that is impossible, went to max brenner instead. tried the chocolate fondue, and the neapolitan cheesecake. it ahs raspberry sauce on top,and also dress with strawberries & apples. what i like most about the fondue is their dark chocolate, there are 2 dippings, the dark & the milk one. but the dark choc taste nicer. it goes well with their banana muffin bread. hey..i hate to eat banana the most, but then the bread taste really good when dip into the dark choc. yummy yummy. service is good too, especially they are observant. there was this incident, when there was no fire on the tealight candle, the guy immediately came over with another lit one, and change it for us. pictures can be found on my facebook photos.

i manage to watch the whole of tang xin feng bao, ka ho yuet yuan.

saturday morning, woke up early to go to palawan for some suntanning. so me & my gf basked ourselves under the morning & afternoon sun, after 4 hours of tanning, i manage to get slight sun burnt. after tanning, decided to go imbiah for the sentosa 4d magix & cineblast. the cineblast was good, but the 4d magix was boring. and wearing the 3d glasses for long time, you feel dizzy. i don't know why, but we felt dizzy. had sarpino pizza, their pizza was ok. and the cabonara spaghetti.. after imbiah, was to go vivo city for some shopping. she manage to get all her stuff for the cny. lol..

Heavy lunch

2009-01-14T16:03:00.001+08:00

I had my yummy spaghetti (potato & bacon in cream) & curry prawn rice @ waraku de pasta. very full. it's only $9.90++. Their curry is nice. Haven't try Mr. Curry though, cos is expensive even there is promo voucher.

After lunch, we head for some desert, ice cream at azabu sabo..i had the dark choc..is yummy..n stuck to my hair when the wind blow. but too bad the ice cream melt so quickly. still the dark choc is sweet.

ok..im so bloated, till i can't think and i wanna zzzz.... 2 more hrs before knock off but gotta go somewhere..so can't watch my serial tonight

Milk

2009-01-14T10:26:00.001+08:00

Catch the R21 movie about this gay supervisor 'milk', a politican in the late 1970s, finally manage to be the one who start change, bringing gays to the world.the whole story was kinda draggy, is about 2h show. it talked about his rs.... then to the politics he was involved in.... then he knew he will be assassinated. the assassination came after he became the supervisor, and was shot dead by another fellow supervisor.

well.. but still he brought joy the gay community, and taught us to be more open minded.

Red Cliff 2

2009-01-11T11:36:00.003+08:00

Woo.. it's a nice movie that worth the wait. When it was released on the 9 jan, the cinemas were all packed, so i managed to get a ticket 1 day later. great seats too & nice pop corn.

the best part of the movie is kinda funny, not that gruesome. don't be fool when liu bei break the alliance with sun quan. it's just a plot, so that cao cao will believe. same, when zhou yu faked a letter and bluff cao cao, and then he believe by beheading the 2 naval admirals. well, he wanted to stop, but it was just too late. and another that brought the fall was cao cao desire for xiao qiao (zhou yu wife). The arrow gifts from the enemy was a good scene, when zhuge liang thought of that idea. Another was the wind changes to the advantage of Zhou yu & its army, and make use of that to burn cao cao naval army. it is a 2h 2mins movie, worth pop corn & money.

i've got myself a wii fit & raving rabbit 3. the raving rabbit looks good, i haven't manage to try out the wii fit. well, since cny is coming, i do have the extra cash.

Movie Week

2009-01-05T23:01:00.002+08:00

Watch Ip Man, is a show i didn't want to watch in the first place, but since i have so much time to waste, decided to watch it. well, its not that bad as i assumed it would be. Given that Ip man did not die, and manage to taught Bruce Lee, whom i guess everyone in this world know who is he, a legendary kungfu celebrity. Well, at least the story tells you who is the guy behind the star. and of cos japanese occupation in china at that point of time.

Another movie i watch was a movie that was exclusively shown in 3 GV theatres. Well, Plaza, Vivo, Grand has that show. It's M18, cos you can see keira knightley boobs, 2 scene i think. It's something like the other boelyn girl, but much better. and it's based on true story, i think the storybook is Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire. The movie takes place in London, talking about Duke, duchess, sirs and ladies. It's about Georgina, who married the duke, and bore him 3 girls. but of cos, the duke has many affairs. and 1 was affair with her friend, bess. i wondered if Bess make use of Georgina by getting close to her, talking about her old flame, charles gray, and have an affair with her husband. At least her husband Duke William did not kill her and her lover. I thought he would. Still in the end, Bess became the next duchess of devonshire. she don't really deserve that.

Red cliff 2, coming up in few more days.

The last movie of 2008

2009-01-01T17:52:00.002+08:00

The last week, i managed to watch bedtime stories, on boxing day. bought tickets in advance, and got the same couple seats that we got while watching the previous movie. anyway, this movie is entertainingly good. adam sandler acts better than the previous show(zohan). I'm waiting for red cliff 2..

Movie Weekend

2008-12-21T01:31:00.002+08:00

Went to watch movies on friday & Saturday at the same place. cathay cineleisure. a good place to watch, bcos movies are cheaper with UOB Cards. anyway, nowadays many credit cards are having this kind of promotion, e.g.: DBS fresh card.

watch twilight on friday, i would say out of 5 popcorns, i will give 4. it's nice, though vampires only exist in reel life. but i thought it was really cool and nice movie to catch, especially is hard to find vampires show nowadays. but not to worry, underworld 3 is coming out soon. will wanna watch that too. twilight is about vampires existing centuries back, and had a treaty with those indiana clan to stay on the land but not hurting the humans. but of cos, there are the good & bad ones. some parts are funny, especially the home has a lot of graduation hats. is about a vampire n his family protects the girl (human) that he likes. that's kinda amazing..

then yes man, wasn't very fantastic show as the starting is a lil long n boring. well, i would say is only worth 3 pop corns? because 1stly, im not a really jim carrey fan, though i know his movies are funny n lame. this one turns out to be lame n funny in a lil bit of parts, so you can't really hear much laughter. but it's about this guy (carl) who say NO to every single thing, and finally attend a talk, which is YES! so after the talk, he say yes pratically to everything, and ended up being known as terrorist to the airport crews, just bcos he takes up Korean, and learn how to drive a plane, and dates a persian? or... i don't know, the girl looks like from middle east. and goes on last minute trips. that concludes it. so the girlfriend finds out about him saying yes to everything, and realise maybe he doesn't like her at all, just becos he say yes to everything people asked him. so the ending is the same as any other plot. well, is easy to guess.

next movie will be bedtime stories? i'm waiting. adam sandler, hopefully he's good at this one, as the last movie i watched isn't very nice.

should i confer you as the....

2008-12-16T00:44:00.002+08:00

most outstanding liar?well..i didn't see someone so shameless, giving so many lame excuses, and lies just to default on payment. oh c'mon, is your dog. your duty to take care of it, if u do not want to pay, or wanna give up, just say so. well, don't have to waste each and everyone's time to play your stupid lil game. lies and lies were heard over n over again. pls come up with better excuse. we just didn't wanna expose you and your bf lies. so don't test our patience.

excuse 1:did not send her dog back in the morning, which requested. but apparently, called her n she say she left. but told me another story. (a round of applause). excuse 2: pls send back at 10.00-10.30pm that night (but her bf called n say send back at 11pm, will inform you). excuse 3: give me a breakdown of the bill (well.. what for? when she don't even intend to pay), & send back in the early morning tomorrow. but we went to the place in the early morning, but only found her bf there with NO CASH. & reason being... i wasn't with her yesterday, therefore no $. how can that be, when the guy called me up after the girl hang up, and they were just side by side on the same train, using the girl hp to call my no. excuse 4: pushing the blame to us, claiming that her bf did not receive the vaccination card, which is a bloody lame excuse. cos the receipt is given, n she can check the record at the vet clinic as its under name. hw can it be we didn't give? i personally attached it to all the invoices. so if she recieve the invoice, y nt the card? i stapled it. excuse 5: say the dog got a lot of ticks, when is her place haven't de-tick clean n proper. well, luckily, we check the dog before we send back. excuse 6: claim y didn't we shower the dog, when we showered a couple of times before the dog going back, but always didn't manage to go back due to the owner postpone time n time, saying they have not detick the place, or detick just the day before. still have the cheek to tell me to understand where she is coming from, n asking us to waive her boarding fees, claiming its always our fault and not hers. well, in this world, not all customers r right. the salesperson always give in bcos they give you face, n benefit of doubt. but that doesn't give you the right to take advantage of the person.

hmmm... then giving excuses to default payment, say coming down to settle the balance payment, but did not turn up. n then say will transfer the $ over by tonight, but didn't receive any. so, just save us the trouble, n stop playing your lil games. if you think earning $ is hard, n u don't wish to part with your money. pls think of other ppl who is also running a biz, as you pay for what your dog has received.

so pls beware of this customer (whom i shall not named) with her great dane, she is still looking for some place to board her pet.

well, its not going to be over. if you make the hell out of us, be prepared.. you will receive the same treatment- the hassle.

Bolt

2008-12-07T00:25:00.003+08:00

Went to catch that movie @ my favourite cathay cinema. i just love uob card, which allows me to watch movies @ $6 on weekday, well.. i save about $1.50 per ticket stub, which is good, though the pop corn is not as fantastic as the GV one, same for the nachos.. but still quite alright. Manage to watch Bolt. well, it was thursday & the movie had just open, and the theater was quite pack when i tried to buy the tickets at the counter. hmmm... the movie wasn't that fantastic. i felt it was boring at the 1st part, the middle part. it was only till the end, i felt it was interesting n nice. so its not a really nice movie to watch on weekend. not worth it. Twilight.... coming soon

How i spend my weekend, was having botak jones @ toa payoh with my gf and my family and now, gonna go back n play my pet society.

Dinner with the little kid

2008-12-01T17:43:00.005+08:00

over the last weekend, catch a no. of movies, just didn't have the time to update my blog. well, i watched beverly hills chihuahua, is not a lame show, in fact, i think is worth paying $8 to catch that movie. is nice, there's a good story plot. besides that movie, the latest one i had watch is four christmases, if u asked me which is better. i will say is chihuahua. four christmases is a movie that ends up pretty funny. i'm waiting for Bolt to be released in the cinema this week, and then twilight the next next week.

went out with christen and 1 of her niece for dinner. well, didn't wanna bring too many, cos it will be very noisy and hard to control. see how photogenic is the lil girl, hazel.

christmas is coming.. well, present for the kids!

going off work, off to lil india for my fav north indian cuisine.

yummy yummy.

Birthday Dinner

2008-12-01T17:29:00.003+08:00

Had a late birthday dinner with family @ weiners (german restaurant) off upp east coast rd. meant having to eat german sausages etc. I had garlic sausage & grilled fish (is nice), both are nice. and the pretzel, i think their is plain, so i prefer auntie annie. not forgetting, we had other appetizers, like potato skins with bacon (it's not what i thought), so it isn't very fantastic. then we have this corquette, is cheese and their cheese isn't very cheesy (so even though its their chef recommendation... hmmm)they had pork knuckles..but i don't like.. hmm so BIG.and the german speciality hmmm.. not very fantastic. the stew beef. yucky.

after dinner wanted to go old town coffee, but too full, since we ordered extra main course.

here's the pic:

Happy 23rd birthday

2008-11-13T23:50:00.000+08:00

It's my birthday once again, well.. it seems like so fast right? but i waited for a year. So it was movie, i catch madagascar 2. its cute, funy, heart warming. and my lunch, omg. i had chicken roll, from the kebab shop at park lane, bcos i went to wild rocket, they said the kitchen is close. I saw the website online, it stated till 12- 3pm. If the kitchen closes early, well.. i think they should indicate on their website, like some other restaurants do. Rather than me, having to make all the way down to the place, and they tell me its close? and i still do have like 5 more mins. Manage to get 1 sandals that i like, got it from far east. comfy? hmmm.. i don't know, its still my 1st day of wearing, since fri is casual wear. after catching movie, its almost lunch time, then decided to go wild rocket, but they are fully book, m hotel 'the buffet' is also fully book. well, i seems so unlucky. then we just headed to cuppage.. and i saw angela @ centre pt. so ended up, my gf and i had north indian food @ maharajah. hmm.. its nice, but service was good @ first, but when come to refilling of water, its bit slow. it never came at all. the portion is small. and its expensive. but is okay for once in a blue moon kind of eating. and we found hair in the chicken masala. we had tandoor prawn, garlic naan, chicken tikka (which is also tandoor). yummy. and their basamati rice. to end off the day, i blew the candles @ home. bought the mango mousse from rive gauche. not very fantastic. the other cakes taste better. should have got their oreo/ chocolate.

thanks baby for all the things....

Hooray~

2008-11-12T16:02:00.003+08:00

hello.. you are back in like another few more hours. well, finally the days pass. and it gonna be my birthday just tomorrow. great, but i've got to work the next day, so i couldn't go out and play till late, that's a lil boring. but it's ok. i'm waiting to see what you've got for me... hahah..
see you tonight/ early morning.

Home alone on weekend

2008-11-08T19:38:00.002+08:00

my gf is out of town, won't be in till like a day before my birthday. boring. didn't go out, cos it's the last episode of the 7pm show. internet was done for a couple of days.

gf, i'm counting down to see what you've got for me. lol..

When nobody is cooking

2008-10-31T21:00:00.006+08:00

the last week, no one in my family was in except me, my bro, my sis bf.. but of cos for those who stayed with me was my gf, n bro, n my aunt, maid etc. so i decided to choose what i want to eat for the week. i planned the 'menu', and was all my favourite dish. i whipped out tom yam soup with seafood (sotong,prawns etc), hot plate beancurd (wasn't really a succcess, cos kinda dry), prawn paste chicken (yummy), spaghetti w/ minced chicken, tomato bruschetta.

here's the pics:

Max Payne

2008-10-24T10:12:00.003+08:00

As my internet has been down for many days.. i spend my time at Mcdonald surfing sites. so i got all time in the world to watch a movie. i chose max payne, bcos i wanted to watch it , but it wasn't very nice as expected. i thought supernatural in the sense of really supernatural. this is only hallucination, so is not real at all. hmm... guess quite a no of people has watched it since it looks good on trailer and out in the theathre for quite a while.

now my hp is at sony ericsson. hmmm... it will take a long while before i can get it back due to my keypad problems, couldn't press some numbers. anyway, its gonna be deepavali. and a long weekend. great...

Happy deepavali to all who are celebrating, the rest i guess they are enjoying their long long weekend.. so this weekend, i'll be looking for people to play mj with. and i got the days to show off my cooking skills. lol..

changes in my holiday plans. hmm.. guess i'll be going away only in june/ winter, and away to aussie for winter?

About last weekend

2008-10-20T12:59:00.002+08:00

went on a short holiday trip to the nearby island, tioman. it was the monsoon season, but yet there were quite a no of people going over. it was our 1st time stepping in there. arrive early in the morning at shaw center to have our mcdonald breakfast and headed to dfs entrance to wait for our bus. can't remember how long was the total trip cos we slept throughout.. incl bus ride, i think is about 5 hrs to the resort iteself. i stayed in berjaya. the room is clean, small, cosy. we do have couple of people knocking on our door. is very irritating, group of army guys came knocking twice. we rot and sleep for a lil while before checking out the area. had our lunch at the resort, hmmm.. the food was alright. my gf had her redang beef, and i had fish n chips, but not forgetting the soup.. it was potato, with calm chowder n chicken? but is creamy n delicious. the pool is smaller than bintan lagoon, but has 2 slides.. too bad, only 15 yrs n below are permitted. hmph.. but it was nice seeing those kids, caucasian kids running and going down the slide. 1st day nothing much. we walked out, which was about 15mins from our room to the guardhouse, and they have food stalls there. well.. its so much cheaper than what we had ate in the afternoon. had a taste of their local food, n not forgetting my tom yam. we just ordered 3 dishes and we are so full. so head back to the resort gaming room, and then off to our room to zzzz...

the 2nd day, seriously.. we woke up late. suppose to wake up at 7am? but we slept till 9.05? which means we are late for our snorkeling. but well.. we thought gotta change our plans, boring.. fortunately, the guy call us up and ask if we are joining, and say will wait for us like 5 mins.. then we ok ok.. hurry up, forget our breakfast, bought some snacks n drinks from the resort, and eat our way through the boat ride. we visited 3 places. the 1st island was coral island, spend 1 hr there snorkeling. then to the marine park, where the fishes are all so big, like those i saw at the market. lol.. i was quite scare, cos they tend to bite me after feeding them. they thought i still have food. then on the way to renggis island, we saw dolphins? i saw 3? haha.. and is under my boat swimming. very very nice. so when there are dolphins, means there are sharks too.. hmmm..scary. after all the snorkeling, we had pizza by the pool side, and swam for a lil while before freshening up and took a cab to the local village for some shopping. nothing much to buy, just some tibits.. our dinner was cereal prawns, thai style chicken, and hot plate beancurd.. yummy yummy. it was more ex than what we had the day before, but it was worth it.

the 3rd day was breakfast day, since we missed our breakfast the day before, we had a lot. well, the range was good, the chicken sausage wasn't very nice. i had their uttapan? i think it taste a bit like indian pancake? thosai? and roti prata, chicken congee, the fruits, hashbrown (soso), baked beans, pancakes etc. and we fed the cat with chicken sausage, he had 3 or 4. hmm... and wanted more. so we headed straight for the sun, since we only have 2 hours to spare before leaving the island. so i managed to get tanned, since the day before we went snorkeling. on the way back, i saw my friend on the same ferry as me. coincidence.

nice trip, planning... redang? maybe.

tioman~

2008-10-14T15:53:00.002+08:00

i've decided... that will be the place i'll go for my weekend trip. was thinking of other islands, but i think since it will only be a 3days 2 night, that should be the ideal place. for the past week, i did nothing much except shopping.. and now my bill is here. gosh.. i got to puke all my savings for what i've spent. and now i'm back to square one, being broke again. so sometimes having credit cards aren't that good. cos it makes you spend more and more and more. i've just got my dividend card. and i was happily swapping it already. this week, i did not catch any movies as i've already watched what i want to watch, so just waiting for max payne to be shown. well, i guess its another 2 weeks or so. i cleared my cake mania, and now i'm halfway through my sims2 castaway. it's a tough game. i play till 3am every day, and end up sleeping till late. lol.. tomorrow, another clubbing day @ zouk.

That Sliced fish noodle

2008-10-06T13:44:00.003+08:00

My office has a sliced fish noodle stall, quite famous, cos you have to queue about 30minutes to eat that bowl of noodles. but seriously, it wasn't that fantastic it turned out to be. i think the one at the army market hawker centre taste so much better, cos that one i had was a bit bland. but something unique is that, they have this omelette in the soup, and i am an omelette person. but still one try is enough. i wouldn't wanna queue so long for that again. the stall is located in the coffee shop, which is along aliwal st, and opp concourse, is shop houses kind, and near to those shops selling fishing stuff.

here the pic:

Another movie weekend

2008-10-06T13:13:00.004+08:00

So these few days, i spend my time watching movies again, i guess i already watched like 4 movies in a week. Over the weekend, i watched Vicky cristina barcelona, M18 movie, but they don't really have much sexual scene, maybe because of the tiny lesbian bit, but other than that, is really nothing much. the movie is all about the girls spending their holiday in barcelona, and met a guy, who is a painter, who has a messy relationship with the wife. the 2 girls, who has their differences when it comes to love, both fell for the same guy. and went to bed with him. and then cristina changes her mind about being in the 3 person r/s, with the guy and his wife (there's where the lesbian act comes in). If you asked me, i would say other movie is better. maybe painted skin is so much better than it.

Painted skin, is something like liao zai. i didn't wanna watch that movie actually, but got zhao wei, i like her since she starred in the Princess Huanzhu. That movie is quite a romantic one, it seems to me like testing the couple's trust in their marriage, to see if the guy would really fall for the demon. well, the guy did in fact, with dreams about her every night. The cast also include Qi Yiwu, he didn't really get to act in alot of parts, so its a pity he can't show his acting skills. It's a touching love story, cos of how much the wife can do for the husband, just to lessen the burden of the husband, and let the both be together.

The last show i watched for the week is Connected, by Barbie hsu and Louis Koo. well, its based on 'cellular'. i didn't watch that movie, cos i thought it was scary. anyway, that movie was okay. well, like panic room etc, but just with a different cast and setting of cos, but plot is the same. wanted to watch big stan, but is m18, my bro n his gf couldn't get in, so we watched connected instead, or i think big stan would be a funny show.

and of cos besides all the movie, i had some shopping and coffee drinking every night just to keep myself awake. i bought the new lanvin perfume, jeanne or something? its sweet n nice. and not forgetting, i went to waraku de pasta at the heeren. wow! that place really change alot, alot of nice food like waraku, fish & co, thai express etc etc. but if you ask me, i think Central one is nicer than the one i had at heeren.

Movie week

2008-10-03T09:57:00.003+08:00

Let me give an update on the movies that i had catch lately. Disater movie, wasn't very fantastic. is lame, super lame, worse than scary movie. so is a nono show, unless you're really bored this weekend and had watch all the movies in the cinema.

House Bunny, heart warming movie, is about this girl, who turns 27 years old and was kicked out from the playboy mansion, is an evil plot. but anyway, is a comedy, so is funny and you'll love it if you like legally blonde etc type of show. the girl manage to be a house mother, and found a family outside, which is the 'zetas'. i wonder why they don't have all these in singapore. it will be so fun. and the girl chose to be with her new found mates and the guy she like, so in the end she choose what she wants and go back to them, rather than staying in the playboy mansion as Ms. Novemeber. worth to watch.

Eagle Eye, is another type of movie that has the same storyline, can't remember the title, but is a good action movie, worth to watch. is about the computer, controlling people to get what she wants, to protect the nation. very smart show, and you won't know is the computer, until you see the later parts, all along you thought is a lady, or maybe an organization controlling them.

next movie i wanna watch is vicky cristina barcelona, Nights in Rodanthe, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and Sing to the Dawn.

Final sprint at Gallery Hotel

2008-09-30T11:25:00.005+08:00

Left early from work to have hi tea at hotel intercontinental. Had cakes and latte. well, the cake i had was raspberry bla bla. is like strudel, i like the crust. yummy. been a while since i last ate apple strudel.

That talk lasted for 4 hours, long enough, tiring enough. the food was alright, cos not all courses are nice, but we do have alot of meat. like chicken, lamb, beef, fish etc... prawns spaghetti (a lil dry but the prawns are huge), and vegetarian fried rice. i couldn't have alot, since i had cake earlier. and i saw their oreo cheesecake, i was thinking.. i didn't have any. cos i was so full. Prudential invited adam khoo to be the last speaker, the motivational speaker to motivate us, since the eralier parts are all about new products, and changes to medishield plans.

After the talk, we decided to go somewhere to chill out for a while, since it been a while all of us hang out. i don't know who got that idea, so i just go along with it. and we ended up at m studio, which is just at the hotel. still manage to get home by midnight.

back from co retreat

2008-09-22T14:43:00.000+08:00

spend 3 days in bintan island, the 1st night was with my group of peeps at banyu biru villa, the beach is fantastic, i can see fish in there. is clear as compared to Bintan Lagoon. the buffet lunch wasn't very nice, they only have beef redang, tom yam noodle, deserts, rice, veg, fish, squid etc. we had that as is $22++ and is buffet compared to a plate of fried rice that cost $15++. we head for beach after that, and then to the jacuzzi pool. we spend some time swimming while waiting for the rest to arrive at a later timing. the sun wasn't very strong, maybe at some point of time as we started suntanning about 3pm (sin time). after tanning, swimming.. we decided go back shower and have dinner. went to pasar oleh oleh to eat a 10 course seafood dinner, which cost about $108++. took a shuttle, that is free as we just have to spend min $36, of cos we can do that cos we have like 8 people? the food is rather cheap, compared to hotel, although its still a tourist spot. is just like 15mins away from the banyu biru, and the banyu biru is 10mins away from the ferry terminal. so if you're traveling from the ferry terminal is like 25 mins. so after dinner, we settled down waiting for the rest of group to arrive and start our theme party. the theme is to cross dress, and i think we did pretty well, cos the 'girls' are kinda hot, and the guys.. i shld say 'manly'? the party ends with drinking as usual, and playing drinking games. for those who are drunk or soon to be drunk, off to bed earlier than the party ends.

the 2nd day, was suppose to reach bintan lagoon at 3pm. so we decided to have our morning breakfast, the breakfast was so much nicer than the lunch, the chicken sausage is good,omelette(mushroom taste like it still has water retain in it). then we head off for some suntanning,and leave for the next hotel. so we reach there like 2hours early, decided to walk around and explore as we can't check in early. so we went to their terrace cafe to have some drinks after when we found there is slight drizzle.hoping the weather sucks,so we don't have to play team bonding game. but nevertheless, we played. THE PD amazing race, kinda lame, but we were all busy running around that we don't even have much time to interact with new faces. we ran like mad, from north to south and back to north again. not easy especially you have to compete with 9 other teams. but the prize wasn't that amazing anyway. but the forfeit is terrible, so i'm kinda lucky that we are not 1 of the forfeit teams. dinner was buffet, with crayfish, prawn, minestrone (sour, so is nice), fried rice, kway teow, mackerel, grilled chicken, sirloin steak etc. free flow of bintang beers. the dinner lasted about 2 hours or so, then off we head to my colleague's room to play drinking games again. woke up rather late compared to the day before, and head to the pool for some suntanning (but there's no sun), and we played water polo. the teams were even, so we decided to take a break and then go for lunch. and after lunch, some slacking around and chit chatting, off we say good bye to bintan.

suprisingly, i didn't have any bubble bath this trip. too tired.

bintan bintan, here i come...

2008-09-18T10:48:00.002+08:00

i packed my bag, still short of a few stuff. let me think.. suntan oil (my colleague will settle), sun dress (ok, i need 1), playing cards (got it), mahjong (too heavy), these are the few that i miss. and i manage to squeeze everything in a haversack. hmm.. can't wait to hit the beach tomorrow with my friends, gosh, it will be fun. we've got our hotel booked, is a villa that able to house 10 of us. and not forgetting to buy chivas n vodka. drink, drink, and get drunk. for the next 3 days, please give me a break!

happy

2008-09-17T13:27:00.004+08:00

i was told i look fresher today, ok.. why? i don't know myself, but maybe holiday is coming soon, i can have another long weekend again, chilling out with my friends, hitting the beach and the pool. it can also due to me having a better diet, like less oily kind of food, and not drinking when eating? my colleague say i should feel lighter that way, or else i feel sleepy, v sleepy after lunch, which is indeed true. i'm repeating 2 songs and i think my colleague got kinda fed up and went out of my cubicle already. ha..

i'm looking forward to friday. woohoo..
it contradict. save me from what i'm feeling now, i need to get it straighten out.

anyway, the past day, my boss treat the whole team for dinner. well, once again, we've hit our RS target. and this time is ichiban sushi, somewhere near our office (starhub centre). i had.. chicken katsu toji (fried chicken cutlet w/egg in hot pan) + beef wazen set (but i shared with my male colleague). on diet..

Make it happen

2008-09-16T13:30:00.002+08:00

the movie, is absoultely fantastic. if you like step, stomp the yard, you will like this show. its about a girl from a small town moving to chicago to fufill her dream. and when she couldn't get into the dance school, she worked in 'Ruby', where she learn and meet friends along the way, and work her way through those moves and then.. of cos, the happy ending, she got into the school. great moves, better than step 2.

What about mama mia? is a muscial, fun loving, light hearted kind of movie. i love the songs. watch it, is worth the money!

Hmmm...

2008-09-11T16:57:00.003+08:00

i just spend my money online. got a laptop. this month my expenses are higher, not forgetting i'm always spending my future money. I was searching for the LV neverfull damier canvas, but couldn't find it online. maybe, i should set foot in the LV store and see how i can get my hands on it. i just got myself the brikenstock sandals, arrive already. it cost so much more, kinda regretted. but is nice, though the material wasn't that fantastic. it cost me like $175 for it. i better treasure and cherish it. hmm.. but lucky my gma doesn't know, or else ahem.. i was lucky also, cos i didn't wear it earlier to vietnam.

a night of relax, and entertainment, and not thinking about work, or not even talking about it. i'm looking forward.

here's that sandals w/bling bling..

Family Portrait

2008-09-06T00:06:00.006+08:00

went to return my graduation gown at serangoon broadway, at the same time, we chose to take a family photo. we took a family picture and picture of the 3 siblings. it cost about $1100 total. they are really good at upselling. they took many shots, at 1st.. we all laugh non stop, because is so funny, till we couldn't take any picture. the pose, the smiles.. i don't even think is natural. but anyway, is once in a life time. after taking pictures, we go for a dinner, at north bridge road (my office there again) for fish head steamboat, and zi char.. i ate again, very full n bloated but still manage to eat. after dinner, we went to joo chiat to eat 4 seasons durian, the durians cost about $80++, we ate 4 huge one. but i only eat 1. well.. thanks to the new car that my dad just bought, that's why we keep going out. nope, is they.. i only sat in there once, and which is today. i still miss the old one.

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)

2008-09-03T15:20:00.004+08:00

my last 4 days was spend there, to give myself some time off to start the new month. hee. why i chose there? well.. it happens that the flight journey wasn't long, and they have flight to there cos i can only make it at the last week of august and i didn't been there before. so is our 1st trip, and we don't have any idea of where to go. as usual, i visited the online sites, to check out the fun places. well.. come to think of it, the places of interest are those war museums etc. so be it then. the flight was early, reached there like 9.25am (their timing), its slower than us by 1 hr. checking into the hotel, there's a bit of problem. the girl at the front desk, can't communicate with us. well, we can use dong or us$ there. so ask them what currency they are talkin about before making any payments. the ride from the airport to our hotel is only like 20-30mins? the cab fare, is about 200,000vnd (s$18+). if go by the meter, it should be cheaper. but beware, there are many different cabs over there, like 6-7 companies at least? take the milinh (something like that), or vinasun. they are the cheapest. i took a cab back to the airport and it only cost 100,000 vnd. tey have like 3million motorbikes, and 1 million cars. so can you imagine how crowded is the road? not forgetting, they don't really use traffic lights, unless its in the main district of the city, or else cross at your own risk. well, don't expect them to stop or slow down. cos you have to cross n wait, n cross again. though, they sway and avoid hitting you, but they are really good at that. it was raining heavily when we were on the way to chinatown (cholon), we took a cab, it cost like 300,000 vnd (cos we took the wrong one), is very ex. and so we got cheated. lesson learnt. so we decided to take a bus up, try our luck. and the bus ride cost only like 3,000 vnd, and we realise they go to our hotel nearby. great!

i stayed at dainam hotel, book thru asia rooms. is cheap. but they run out of standard, so upgraded us to superior instead. since we arrive early, we have to pay in order to check in early, ok.. since is only another US$20, we gave in. we've got a level 6 room, there is a balcony, and our view is the road.. well, i saw reviews that it gonna be noisy. but luckily, we can sleep with noise. those ppl honk everywhere they go. so is noise pollution, but i guess they are used to it, cos you can hear honking nonstop. we walked to ben thah mkt, which is like 5-10 mins away from the hotel. the places of interest and shopping closes kinda early, like 5-6pm? and they have little shopping centres in singapore. we managed to find like 3-4. but nothing much to buy, since my taste is different. ate my lunch in ben thah mkt, had pho (beef ball noodles), is nice. then we headed to chinatown. did i say i stand for 2 hours just to wait for rain to stop? well, we bought the poncho, after standing for like 2 hrs? and the rain stop. gosh. the rain is very heavy, the roads flooded. and i have to wear my sandals to cross the road, and the flood was like above my ankle? and its very dirty.. imagine is black?so i think is better to wear rubber boots there next time. so went to binh tay mkt, nothing much to buy too. but is cheaper than ben thah, cos i think is not in the central area? they sell almost the same thing, coffee, tea, goodies, bras, undergarments, clothes, hat, shawls, souvenir etc... after walking around, i went back to ben thah mkt, they have a night market there, so we walked around there for a while. went for dinner at the roadside, since not all stalls are open. i had fried calamari (58,000 vnd), rice, grilled pork, morning glory, strawberry shake. all cost less than S$20 for 2 persons. finally, i picked up a bikini, it looks like my NUM one, but cost 8 times cheaper.. haha.. almost the same design but just different color.

the 2nd day was to mekong delta, woke up early in the morning, had breakfast. their breakfast is pathetic, they have fried rice, noodles, veg, steam n fried dumpling, cornflakes, porridge, chicken corn soup, fried egg, salted egg, peanut, bananas, pomelo, orange juice, tea, coffee, milk etc.. seriously, the breafast is the same for the next 3 days, just that fried noodles will be fried bee hoon, and noodles soup will be won ton soup etc? after breakfast, went up to the bus, and we were the 1st group of ppl they pick up, there are many ppl from different countries? so we set off, is like 2 hours ride from the city, very long. there's a stopover, toilet break before they contd the journey. upon reaching the ferry terminal, we have to take a boat, then transfer.. can't remember what islands we went, but i remember unicorn island.. visit the coconut candy workshop, the local folks village, fruit orchard (is very cheap, the rambutan, 1kg= S$0.30), have lunch at their local village, the bee & honey area, you get to see the real bees, 3 types of bee (queen bee, worker bee, and maui bee?) the whole trip already cost you a day. we decided to walk the malls since market closes at 6pm, so we wander about, and manage to find the place. ha.. i'm a genius, cos i know my maps and location well. went to saigon square (2 level shopping centre, with air-conditioned), saigon tower (mango is available), diamond plaza (they have dept stores, food etc) and i had KFC there, yummy yummy. the hot wings are not as spicy as bangkok, but the wrap is not bad. then we walk back to ben thah market, where we took a rickshaw ride.. n it cost 20,000 vnd for a short distance. but it doesn't matter, cos you don't see them around at other places.

3rd day, i went to sight seeing.. since i didn't go to anywhere the 1st few days. we decided to hire a taxi, paying by meter. this time, the taxi fare is cheap. it brought us around city for half a day and it cost like only 400,000 vnd. we visited the war museum, hcm museum, saigon zoo, history museum, reunification palace, city hall, notre dame cathedral, post office, the vin nghiem pagoda, tian heu pagoda (was recommended by the bell boy), still got 1 more pagoda, an dong market (is good, bought many cheap goodies there) etc. the saigon zoo (entrance fee only 8,000 vnd), well.. a place where you can see animals.. like lion, tiger, many different types of cats, monkeys, wild boars, bears, different types of crocodiles, hippopotamus, rhino, elephant (i fed the elephant sugar cane) etc etc. the war museum, where they have alot of war pictures, i was wondering which country conquer vietnam? wasn't it the dutch? or is it the americans?? then they show pictures of prisoners, people being tortured, the different ways, the prison they live in. is gross. the reunification palace, is big.. they have like 100 of rooms in there, like the conference room, cinema, map rooms etc etc.. so we end our day at an dong market by doing some shopping for food, and then since we have time, we went to try highlands coffee, cost about the same as starbucks, i don't know if my taste buds failed, but i couldwe head for zen plaza (this is the place where i spend all my $ in, bras.. they having 15% discount), i only got 2 sloggi panty for myself, cos either they don't have my size, or color.. our meal was the lottera (the fast food in vietnam, seems like owned by korean or is a korean kind of fast food), they serve bulogi, and sells lotte chewing gum. so i guess so. i had their teri burger (is just normal hamburger), their fries make me cough.. i don't know why, but they do have nice shrimp balls.

4th day, which is the day i gotta say goodbye to HCM, went out after breakfast, have only 1.5 hours to walk the market, and walk to a street where we have no idea what's the street name, to buy the waffle. and after walking a few streets, finally found the place, i was quite smart, cos i remember the waffle place is in front of sax n art (which is a popular jazz club owned by the godfather of jazz). and i sniffed and smelled, and yes, we finally got it. is only another 15minutes before we have to leave for the airport.. and i haven't showered. but of cos we reached the airport in time, because the ride is only 20mins.. while waiting for the plane, the HCM airport has nothing much to walk, so we headed up for food again. we had japanese food, tried to spend all the vnd we have.. and the mail cost about S$50++.

next time if you need ppl to join amazing race, ask me! hahaa..

finally done, after typing for 3 days.

Food @ Delifrance

2008-08-28T10:38:00.005+08:00

Today i went to compass point for dinner, after being put aeroplane a few times. besides, i need to have dinner right? and i've got the free vouchers. so we ordered like... actually the food variety is not that huge, so have very little choices of what to eat. i chose the poulet chicken and spaghetti w/ tomato herbs, that's seem healthy, and their soup of the day. let me comment on those food. SALTY, and OVERCOOKED! i think those stall in coffee shop cook better than them. but of cos only the garlic bread is nice.

i also bought a SD card, is getting cheaper nowadays, well.. that's IT. 2gb enough to let me take 300+++ pictures. i'm counting down for my conferment. hmmm.. what should i have for dinner today? gosh.. getting fatter le.

Past Week Events

2008-08-25T13:14:00.007+08:00

let me recall where did i go.. especially last week n the previous week was all full of RS. so tired, but after working shift hours in the last RS, felt so much better and relax, though there is still a little stress present.

I remember eating (from the pics):

Ma Maison (Hamburg Steak n don't know what, but is a set)

Not forgetting, having to work on the next sunday. we had some drinks at Ice Cold (SMU, and beancurd+ soy milk + you tiao (yummy) for supper. i thought of the times that we had, it was so funny. me and my batch mates. LOL. and especially after talking about it, i think we all laugh like mad. that day there's soccer match and my mate (Clar) love liverpool so much, that he was screaming away. lots of expression. but before meeting up with them, i went to try brazilian wax at strips, quite nice and comfy environment. and i sign a package with them, so will be going back soon. and the package can be shared by my mum, and sis, and gf. most importantly, is nice and not that painful as some had claimed, and of cos the cream to 'prevent' ingrowth hair. and i've got angela to buy the kose massage gel for me. i'm going broke.

Then... sunday, i have RS in the am, so we had our usual breakfast at toast box, i love their otah bread, and most of them say their eggs are really nice, i think is big and round. i think my snacks are always from dong dae mum (breaded dog with mayo). and we went for some shopping, i bought a black heels for my graduation on thursday but i'm already wearing it. kinda pain after wearing for long (like my URS, damn!). and angela manage to buy something she like from bugis st, after walking there for 2 days. we had dinner @ koo kee. then headed for some coffee after work.

here's the food.. is good at least. i like what i've ate (the tofu, xiao long bao except the wanton).

i've been staying out late almost everyday. my eyebag..

shopping time

2008-08-20T23:00:00.002+08:00

i've got my pay, seriously it came late, a day late. i think we are all kinda dry, n have tons of bills due soon. well, i today manage to pay off some bills, and calculate my expenses. and also bought a few facial products to encourage myself. i was looking at dress when i was out today, i still have like perfume, and mask gel to buy, but i think those can wait, cos not that urgent. those urgent on the list is like achieving my wants. i saw wee ling at suntec, so 'qiao', seeing patrick n her. i had my dinner at shokudo bazzar, well.. i had chawanmushi( its quite hard), beef bolongese pizza (ok), rosti w bacon (i think the best of all), omu rice w/ hamburg (ok), tofu w/ wafu sauce (salty) milk tea (taste alright, cos is bottled). so what my comments? overall, ok only.

well well..you're happy wih what you have now too, so is better off this way. smiles & pictures, they meant a thousand words.

wish me luck. i need it badly and always.

Meet Dave

2008-08-16T13:31:00.002+08:00

Dave Ming Chang, a comedy starred Mr. Eddie murphy. i do love him, i think he is the funniest guy that i like. most of his movies, or maybe i should say all i had watch it, ever since i went to the movies. but it isn't really as good as what he acted last time, but this movie is witty. i like the last part n is a lil bit silly. still, there is laughter in the cinema, but not that loud. or maybe i wasn't paying much attention to the rest of people. it was my 1st time at the gv vivo city, the seats are bigger than the rest. well.. i'm not really going to tell you what the story about, i guess you guys should watch it, since there isn't any nice shows in the cinema this week.

i had my favourite snacks at the B1, the dong dae mun, yummy yummy, corn dogs & meat ball. a late dinner at marche, had kinda lil, like rosti w/ onion & sour cream, mushroom soup, and the pasta with chicken in cream, and they don't have my strawberry smoothie anymore, so just the usual bundaberg. comments, sucks, the more i go there, the more i think the food can't really make it, the standard really drop big time, from the HMV till the suntec n then the vivo. i'm so tired, so tired that i wanna sleep.

and then i scald my hand with that stupid rice cooker. now i've got a big bilster? and it hurts, but i've already applied rosewater, i thought it can help to smoothe it, but it is not working.

Herstory @ Boiler

2008-08-15T10:25:00.000+08:00

it isn't a really nice place, is not that big, not that fantastic. i wouldn't go into much details of what happen there. i realise actually not my 5,10 lousy, is the person beside me too smart, well... is actually more like lucky? haha.. i should push everything to that. i manage to see my colleague there, surprising, cos he is at reservice. anyway, we had our dinner at vivo, well.. real budget, but the food was nice. i didn't wanna eat that full, so i was just nice. i posted some pics of me n my friends in my facebook. but some butch are really cute. there are guys too. i'm looking forward to the next herstory, at zouk. is so much better there i guess. n i do enjoy my company much. thank you!

National Day

2008-08-10T18:15:00.006+08:00

happy birthday singapore! i've lost count your age, but i guess is 43. should be! cos singapore gained independence in the 1965.. ha, i'm a history student.

the place was crowded as usual, the mrts, the roads were block. but still you can manage to walk. s'pore flyer is busy too. there were queues and many people. so restaurants, cafe were packed. well.. we went for the 830pm slot, cos the 8pm were full. but if you manage to get the 730pm, it is good too, cos by the time u board n on board the flyer, is already coming to 8. so nothing much to see at night, will go once more during the day time. hmmm.. i should say is reasonable for the price, bcos if you've been to london, it cost so much more for us, cos of the exchange rate.

there were many bodyguards, of cos.. to shove people off the road. and you will feel safe too. fireworks were a short while, didn't manage to see much as we were indoor. but is ok, every year i see fireworks, so it doesn't matter much. then we had our 'light' meal at popeyes. is pop-eyes. what a name, their set comes with a drink, burger/ chicken, cajun fries (i like), bread. ok, their bread is like muffin soft type, but it taste like flour. of cos, it is made by flour. erm.. but still, is nice due to its softness. so up the flyer, took some pics, forgot to bring camera, so just gotta use our mobile phones. hmm.... after the 30 min ride, should be. then we head to waraku to have a dinner cum supper. hey, waraku pasta is open at marina square, ohh.. i didn't know. yummy.

few more days n i will be able to collect my gown, n i forgot i still need set some $ aside for my family potrait. finally, we are getting one done, but when its done, where we are gonna place? i've gt no idea, my family doesn't know too.

i'm gaining some weight

2008-08-08T11:11:00.002+08:00

suppose to lose weight, but guess im putting on more weight.gosh, thanks to all the food that i've been taking in, i better start weighing myself and control my diet. everyday, i spend my time eating. well, hopefully, when next wk get busy, i have no time to eat.

yesterday was dinner at suki sushi, well.. you know it been raining the whole day, so today weather must be gd, but yet i'm not out suntanning, but at work, working my ass off. actually, not really la. heehee. ok, my dinner at suki sushi, seriously i don't think that i really eat much, i just had tempura prawns, hey is only 2 or 3 you know, and a few slices of beef, and tofu? of cos the dragon mentai sushi. ok, it taste nice, but after knowing that the top is made of roe, actually i know, i just don't wanna be reminded. but yet i was. thanks yeah. n i stop eating after that.

here the pic:

i went to the airport, Terminal 1, and send my maid back to indonesia. Then, i went to watch movie at marina square, 'money not enough 2', well.. the show is really great. sad, upsetting, i cry, and not tear. god, is very very heart warming, touches me, and make me think what if this happens to my family. hmm.... after that, went to spore flyer, well... seriously, i didn't know that there is a session. so gotta wait.. but i decided not to. so we headed to town instead. i thought takashimaya still have the brikenstock, but they don't have it there anymore. so went to wisma to buy a nokia charger, then to sony ericsson to change my ear piece, but can't. the last stop was black angus, where we have dinner. i had my ribs and chicken with mushroom soup, mash potato ( i order mash, but they come baked potato), so they come another mash. seriously, i had less than half of the meal, maybe ok.. half. and couldn't finish the rest. i had their wild wild west onion too.. and we could only finish half of it. hmm... small appetite.

well, the day ended when we walked from orchard parade to cairnhill and off we go bac to changi. boo..

my sat night

2008-08-03T00:42:00.002+08:00

today, i went for a trade dinner, once a yr event. seriously, we were very late, by the time we were there, is like already at the 3rd course. so i don't know what's our 1st course, 2nd course, 3rd course. i know there is a platter of food, soup, steam fisg (no fishy smell)... there is yam basket with prawns (yummy), roast duck (i hate that), vegi abalone (i only take the veg), noodles (yummy yummy), chin teng (i took 1, cos i ate very lil). so, my mum went to auction this 24k gold dog, is a retriever, at $688, cos its her year, then we all went for it, and said that $688 is the max, nothing more than that. so someone paid $698 for it, and is that bitch. well, suits her much better. suppose to meet my friends at chijmes for drinking session, but then my dad got swollen feet, can't drive. damn, make me can't go. cos by the time i send them back, and take a cab down, i think i just go warm the seat and then they will go back soon. boring.

The mummy returns

2008-08-01T10:08:00.004+08:00

the mummy is in cinema, and i watch it. well, my review about that show is that, if you watch part 1 or 2, this can't really compared to it, even there is jet li, michelle yeoh. i thought part 1 n 2 is so much nicer, bcos is really lyk mummified kind. but this is not like one of them, but the place is very nice, like the shangri-la. if that place really exist, is heaven. i wonder the china shangri-la is it like the one they film in the show. is about the war of an evil emperor who wanna conquer the states, but i like the part when it shows about raising the dead army just to fight that war. alot of effect, as the emperor can change to whatever he want. there is this part about the animal in the plane, puke. ok, that is disgusting, but is funny.

after movie, went to ikea to eat my favourite meatballs, chicken wing. the soup taste delicious ok, the poached salmon is damn smelly, pls if u don't like fishy things like me, don't ever try. hey, the drink is refillable, i didn't know. lol.. anyway, went there walk walk, i like the decor. i always think if i have my own house, own room.. hmm.. how will it be. hmm.. dreaming dreaming..

im waiting to watch money no enough 2...

Ajitei

2008-07-30T12:39:00.005+08:00

was my 1st time tryin there, seriously. waraku the food is so much better. thumbs up to waraku. well, but ajitei food is cheap, so i think u pay for what you get. i had a hot plate egg n chicken, well..i think my old school, nanyang poly the jap food stall does it so much way better. and of cos other stuff like curry fried calamari, potato skin, the cheese has roe in it. when i took my 1st bite, hmm..not v nice, but the 2nd bite taste much better. if you're a citibank card holder, you get 10% off the bill.

here are what i had....

Wedding Daze

2008-07-27T13:10:00.002+08:00

Saw wedding daze, by jason biggs, you know that guy who act in american pie? the show is about marrying a stranger, someone you don't know and you just propose. the movie is funny, heart warming, seeing family go all lengths to get the marriage done. the 1st part is about jason proposing to the girl and the girl got a heart attack and pass away. then he didn't know any girls or date anyone until he just happen to ask the girl who works in the diner. and they of cos have their marriage done. the end.

Hefty bills

2008-07-27T12:53:00.002+08:00

i receive my hp bills and my mum got a shock, she open my letter. hello?!i was suppose to get angry with her, but i think she wanted to pay for my bills, but it over exceed my $100. is like just 5 days in bkk, it cost me $250. the per min is kinda expensive, is like $2.40, and not forgetting that i have to pay the pay as u roam subscription charges, i came to realise, the auto roaming services are much cheaper, at least, you pay a registration fee of $10 and a monthly subscription of $5? gosh. this month, my savings will deplete by half or maybe i will have to touch my savings then. aug, i will be going for a holiday. did that come at a right time? hopefully, by then my hp bills will not be another shock. still in debt, owning my sis money. but i think the bill is not here yet, that's why she didn't ask me for it. and so did my mum. but i took my wallet into calculation for this month. and when i calculate, i realise i only left with $40 this month to spend. lol.

The dark knight

2008-07-25T13:37:00.002+08:00

went to catch that movie yesterday, hmm.. its my 1st batman movie. well, i didn't wanna catch it in the 1st place because i never like batman, even if i watch it yesterday, this can't change my opinion about him. maybe, because he is an aloof kind of guy, too muscular, not very humorous, and his costume looks scary. the whole movie seems to me like betrayal , hero, corruption etc. the effects were good, but the joker look scary, like a psycho.

so i'm not going into the detail for this movie, because i didn't really understand or even catch it. is kinda boring for me actually although many of my friends say is very good. hmmm.. judge it youself. is not my cup of tea.

something about red cliff

2008-07-22T15:26:00.003+08:00

i catch that movie already, well.. i should say there's no ending and i have to wait for another year or so before they come out part 2. DAMN! the movie is about war, very smart moves, esp the Zhu Ge liang, talking about history, war strategy, very interesting. well, another so called war lord kind of movie. got the xiao yan zi who i like very much in that show. well, still not that bad, $7 for 2 hours! :)

Perfect cut

2008-07-20T14:16:00.002+08:00

i was watching perfect cut on tv everyday, sometimes mobtv. well, the show is nice, the songs are what i've been waiting to dl everytime. the 2 songs, was sang by her. Yi qie wan mei and 我知道我变漂亮了. hmmm.... thomas ong still look as handsome as ever. gosh!

flashbacks to days i spend in BKK

2008-07-15T16:26:00.002+08:00

Hello, peeps..I'm back. offically back to work tomorrow cos when i'm back in my home is already like 2am? there's some hiccups, here and there, that explain the lateness. anyway, let me bring you throughout the whole 5 days.

day 1, upon reaching the changi airport, i was waiting for the gucci to be open, they open from 6am to 12am, the items were not alot, therefore the sale items too. i didn't really get to see the bags that i like and i was thinking, that's no much of a difference bcos is just a 7% tax. i always thought my flight was 7.50am in the morning, but i think it was actually 7.10am. since i was there early, i had my breakfast after checking in, got the window seat. there were many people, i think the flight is actually full. the O' brien wrap was hmmm.. the ham and cheddar, wasn't very good. it came with chips, and i ate it almost all up, which i wasn't suppose to, esp having the sore throat etc. upon reaching BKK (it was raining), i went out to get a cab, it cost about $320 (including the 65baht toll fee & svc charge + tips) to get to the hotel. i got the cab from outside the airport, not at the airport counters itself, that explain the savings. the hotel i stayed in was a lil hard to find, but manage to find it. the room was small, but cosy. i like the lighting, the aircon bcos i can adjust to the way i like it to be. the hotel (grand watergate) was located in pratunam market, it is dangerous walking alone at night esp, bcos dark alleys and sometimes you may get to see people peeing along the stretch. i experience once, when i had to go out to get dinner bcos the hotel stop the rm service at 8pm (BKK time). I decided to drop my bags off and walked along pratunam, and then manage to walk to the 4 face buddha at central. i manage to get some cheap stuff along the way, like clothes at pratunam market, it cost 20baht cheaper than platinum mall. so after walking to big c and had my lunch there, i went to central etc, and back to pratunam. thinking its still early, i decided to walk the 1st and 2nd level of platinum mall, i went to patnip plaza as well to see my wii game but unfortunately, they don't have. so got some tops from platinum mall, whole sale. so my late lunch at black canyon, i had pad thai, the famous local noodle and their hot latte (all cost less than 150 baht). when it comes to night, i decided to pay a visit to silom, where patpong is, after i walk and realise.. i manage to get my wii game there ( for 150 baht, they quoted me 2400baht). i walked and walked, and got lost, and it was getting dark, there are many japs, jap restaurant in one of the street i walked in, i was terrified of cos, hoping and praying nothing will happen, and i manage to find my way back and had my dinner at 1 of the coffee shop. food isn't that cheap, i had fried rice this time, and a coke. and i took a cab to go back to the hotel to rest for another day tommorrow.

2nd day, i went for breakfast, seriously i was shock to see so little variety, but what can you expect for what you're paying? so i had their sunny sideup, rice, sausages and a piece of toast butter bread, and of cos 2 cups of hot tea. that settle it, alot? actually compared to last time, it was considered little already. set off later as my sis arrive in BKK, this time, i am not alone. i went to platinum mall to walk all the levels, bought many stuff and in the end, i'm like left with 3000 baht, after spending half of my fortune there. gosh. many bags, clothes and stuff, their fashion is like big, flare type of clothing so it fits me well, most of them. bought some dresses too. so we had crepe, late lunch again, noodles, rice etc at the mall food court. you've to buy cards, and we have to make sure is the exact amount, so that we don't pay extra or have excess money. some shops in platnium mall start to pack up around 6pm, so of cos we got to hurry through our shopping. at night, we went to suan lum, surprisingly the place haven't close down, though there are not as many shops left compare to 2 years ago. we had dinner there, i had tom yum fried rice, the rice had curry leaves, basil leaves that make it tast horrible, even though there is strong tom yum taste. and some duck neck, noodle soup, etc etc. we went shopping about, and i bought t-shirt from there. is about 200baht.

3rd day, i set off early to visit chatchuchak, gosh that place is hot, but it never fail to make me keep coming back. as it is a weekend market, it only open on sat and sun. we walked along the streets, but what did i get there beside pet stuff? some clothes, aromatherapy burner (i've got 2 for 200baht), a dress etc. and went to the restaurant to have our lunch, as usual the same old spot we went each year in chatchuchak., but food menu seems limited. after shopping, i went back early to the hotel since they have plans to go to banyan tree 'moon bar' and patpong, which both i visited before, i decided to stay in to watch HBO instead. so that's when i have to walk out to get dinner bcos of the rm service. i had spaghetti meatball and bread in dips from the pizza company. well, they do FREE delivery, if i know, i wouldn't have walked out myself and get myself sweaty after bath. that night, there is ocean 13, i watched and dooze off after feeling that the movie is quite slow. CMI!

4th day, i went over to pratunam market again to walk, and buy some ointment for my family. manage to get it cheap after walking many places. well, an advice to you is get those ointment from pratunam market, chinese drug store, they are always cheaper but of cos do some shopping around 1st. again, we went to BIG C, to buy some potato chips, lays.. they do have the brand here in sin, but not the flavours. and bought some sweets, gums etc. evening, we went to siam square to get our levis jeans, the same thing, i got patty anne, over an over again. i think i got 3-4 pairs of that particular jeans. then off to MBK Tokyu to buy some undergarments. ohh.. we shop like mad, and i bankrupted myself over there. so decided to do some signing instead. after that, we walked to the restaurant that serve thai food and thai music, they waited 30mins for the table. and bcos i was sick throughout the whole trip, i didn't get to eat my fav tom yum kung. but i manage to get it there anyway with the fish cake. my fav!! and their thai milk tea. they do have bubble tea there, and is like 20baht, but i didn't wanna try. i've been drinking like latte bcos they say coffee can help to lose some weight!! :P

at last, the final day. i went to bobae market, bcos we don't know where to go, and it was kinda boring place, although it only cost like 50 baht from our hotel to go there. we went to bobae tower, and chance upon 1 shop that sells t-shirt, okay, i got like 4 t-shirts from there. the owner is a taiwanese, he was from kaoshiung, and set up his own factory and shop here like 4 months? its whole sale, so was pretty cheap, the cheapest t-shirt i ever buy and they come in sizes like m, l, free size. many colors and designs. so is worth to visit. esp for guys who like unique tees. they do ship out to sin, taiwan, hk, china etc. after that, we went back to the hotel to do some packing up, seriously, we have a lot to do. bought a real big runaway bag even i brought 1 from sin. and our luggage, sure exceed the limit. lol.. went to mbk to do some tibits shopping there and spend our last dollars there and had some kfc before we leave BKK. then is time to say goodbye to BKK and off to the airport. the underwears that we bought, forgot to claim for VAT, bcos we came in without having the seal stamp, so that goes my 340baht. i manage to get myself a gold gucci wallet there. looks small, but classic and it can store coins, and 6 card compartment, cost me almost 1/3 of my pay. i'm officially poor again.

you have no idea how much time i spend on blogging this down.

1 more day to BKK

2008-07-09T11:36:00.002+08:00

Ohh.. finally, i'm going off but then i am still sick, wonder can i even enjoy as much as i enjoy last time. every time go holiday with noob, i'm always ill. hmm... what does that leave me? no more holidaying with him? i remember the last time to HKG, i am sick, and now.. i am also sick. guess i can only go near by, which is like malaysia with him, because i went there and i wasn't sick. lol..

okie, i' going off to do some money changing. boring! i miss not working. soon, it will end and i have to go back to work. haiz...

sick, very sick

2008-07-08T12:48:00.002+08:00

it's been some days since i'm down with the stupid sore throat, cough and viral infection that makes my blood vessel under my face burst. first look, the person may thought, oh shit! so many rashes. hmm.. i took many cough med and lozenges but none help. but today recovering, getting better a lil. well, hopefully will recover by thursday. i'll be off then. anyway, these few days, i'm on mc so i should say, i didn't work for a week or more already. :D the medicine making me feel drowsy. and i'm so tired..

i made myself my favourite choc chip cake. i miss eating ice cream, i miss eating my fried stuff and i miss eating whatever i want to eat. so in every event that happen, there are always loss or gain. it is just a matter of which is more (i'm wondering).

Such a big fat me

2008-07-02T20:32:00.006+08:00

went to eat vienna yesterday with mr. noob, hmmm.. i should give some comments. ok, the price is like $35 per person after all the taxes, well..i should say its not really well spend, because i ate very little, not all is nice, but maybe the dessert and the chocolate. Cafe Brio is giving a 1-for-1 buffet, and if you calculate it wisely, is actually cheaper than vienna. but after eating, i decided to puke to make myself feel better. so you know how much i eat. i can actually count, so i'm aint eating much.

anyway,i went to catch 'Wanted' by angelina jolie after my heavy meal. kinda like her, so i decided to support her show. there's many nice movies coming up, like The mummy? hancock? hmmm... thanks to UOB, which makes movie tickets cheaper. :D

7 more days to BKK.

what a day at work

2008-06-11T17:21:00.002+08:00

gosh, is already coming 6pm, and i'm going to leave soon. been so busy searching for flights and places of interest in texas and thinking of where else to go beside that.so we planned to go florida, to visit the disneyland, since i only been to the anahiem one, and found out there is universal studios and 4 different disney theme parks there. ohh.. and the tickets cost, US$200+++, hopefully, the US currency doesn't incerase that much in july. so in july, i'm only working like 2 weeks, and working another 2 weeks in august. i'm sure i'll get warning letters for not hitting my target just because i'm not working. boss was here the whole day, i was so damn bored of not being able to do my own stuff, and research. i think i need to get a travel insurance. cost of going, high. i'm having a headache with my leave too. and when i used that all up, i have no more leave until the end of this year.

months of saving

2008-06-09T10:09:00.003+08:00

It's been 4 months since i started working, and just only this month, i manage to spend what i've been saving throughout those months. was eyeing at a gucci bag, and maybe burberry bag. now, i'm short of some cash this month to buy these. spend half of my savings on the stupid wii which make my arm cramp but hopefully can lose some weight and do some toning (lol), and i wanna get the wii fit, which reviews are really good. i guess each day i'll be staying up late just to play those games. nonetheless, i'm calculating my expenses for this month, and the reamining since i will only get paid in mid of the month, so got to suffer for while, maybe after i am back from thailand, cos it's another expense. so less shopping and going out. gosh.

im so tired.

Dinner @ Dempsey rd

2008-06-06T13:29:00.005+08:00

Yesterday was my 2nd time there, i think i've been there when i am very young, to see the antiques. but anyway, it was my dad early birthday celebration since my sis will be flying off the next day. so we went to Samy's curry. okay, seriously it's not a very nice place, the interior is normal, the food i should say taste spicy and salty, i think that got to do with the indian spice. we had naan, fish curry (the small was already so big, and we had 2 small), tandoori chicken (my fav), rendang chicken, mutton, spicy sotong, potato (taste like there's pork floss, but i believe is the minced meat), and the crackers. the rice is like free flow, but the dish was too much for us to finish it. anyway, the place was crowded, is like weekdays, but still there is people, many, same goes for long beach.

After dinner, we visit Oosh, which is very near there too. the service, i should say.. hmm.. if don't have iced latte, why can't you add ice to the hot latte? or even bring a cup of ice? so there's this live band yesterday and the guy has a nice voice.

here's some snap shots.

Ohh.. Narnia

2008-06-05T10:27:00.003+08:00

Well, the title say it all. Narnia, i catch that movie yesterday. IT WAS GREAT! i love it so much, to the max, i think those who haven't watch it or don't intend to, maybe you should change your mind about that. It was a 2h25mins movie, so its very worth the movie price.

the story is about these 4 kids, went back to narnia after being called by a man, prince caspian using the horn so that started a war. and there came back the evil witch, i thought she was dead from part 1, then aslan, the lion. anyway, the story is bit sad, when you see your soldiers trap in the enemy's kingdom, when you see each one of them dying there and not doing anything. Then again, in the movie the narnia kings ain't really the one who won the war, is aslan. but still a good nice classic fairy kind of story.

i'm waiting for the next narnia.

Just some family dinner

2008-06-02T13:30:00.004+08:00

As for today's dinner, my family and noob went to sembawang to eat, well.. we couldn't afford anything more expensive, because is like 18 of us. and dad's birthday is coming. he was kinda pissed off as he couldn't find the place, so during the whole dinner his face is black. anyway, he decided not to celebrate his birthday. so i don't know if we still have anymore celebration. but anyway, we had a number of dish, had to clear some before others can arrive.

here are some pics.

Counting down to July

2008-05-29T14:15:00.002+08:00

I wish it will be just another week, but well... it is another month or so away. i applied my leave, and now left with only another 11 more days, which i can use it all up for my US trip, or just save it for the end year holiday.

July will be a shopping month for me, so i can't have a good rest again. well, be going off to bangkok with mr. noob and will be staying at a new hotel, which is highly rated as good place to stay by some of my colleagues and friends. so let me see if they are right then. I want my 5 days to be worth of shopping and food!

Shokudo (Japanese Food Bazzar)

2008-05-28T18:56:00.005+08:00

Here's my day off, and went to try shokudo, the japanese type of marche. so the food are like, they have salad, soup, pasta, rice, hamburger, okay whatever you cna find in marche, you can get it there, even rosti.

The way they cook is very simple, and marination wasn't really there. the mushroom soup lose abit to marche one.

here's what we ate.

Fun day out

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

So we went to Mind Cafe, the games were great, and we paid like $15 for dessert, drinks etc. And we spend 2 hours there, managed to play 2 games. we've got the staff to explain to us 1 game, which is ticket to ride, which i thought was pretty interesting. but my friends felt it difficult to understand. so we played i'm the boss instead. the staff guided us for the 1st round, and i make the 1st deal. lol. well, is a 45 minutes game, so we spend some time on the good old jenga. and forfeit at the end. Since it was still early, we thought of going for a glass of wine, at i don't know where or ktv at kbox, but you know the price is really ex on saturday right. so we skip that and went for movies instead. watch the maid of honor, is nice sweet kind of romance comedy.

Well, so i think the next time to chill out is next next week, hopefully.

Mummy Day Dinner

2008-05-12T11:32:00.003+08:00

So we went to Canto Wok by Chef Kang for mother's day dinner. We ordered a set for 10, although we only had 8 people. The set contains most of their recommendation. For people like me who doesn't eat brinjal, actually ate brinjal. is deep fried, coated with pork floss, but doesn't have the normal brinjal taste. The 1st dish was a shark catridge soup, taste like chicken broth to me actually. But is nice, not as bad as i expected. Then there are prawns mayo wrapped around bacon, double tasted pork, which was advertised on the makan sutra, seriously it wasn't that fantastic as they recommend. but the food there is not cheap, and is limited. We had their steamed crab with the sticky rice, i think the crab was normal. The freshwater fish was ok. something good is their chilli, that was spicy and sour. The tofu was smooth, cooked in black bean sauce, you can taste a bit burnt, but is still nice. and end the day with bee hoon, which all of us are too full to finish, and the papaya fungus desert.

anyway, the service wasn't that good, and place looks bit run down, but then it was full house. yet again, they don't charge you for service.

What a suay Day

2008-04-18T16:19:00.004+08:00

Okay, today i went to the bus stop, flag for a bus, was searching my bag for my wallet as usual. well, i couldn't find it. not in my bag, or my laptop bag. its like gone. its not at home, not anywhere that i know. well, i just hope and pray that the good soul will send my wallet back with my cards intact. That's all i ask for. How i got to work, seriously this affected my mood. i didn't have the mood to smile, or even talk to my colleagues. i have a serious headache, just thinking where and how the hell i lost it. I AM NOT HAPPY! can you imagine the hassle of getting your i/c and driving licence done? well.. you have to go down to ICA and Ubi.

Please kind soul,send it back to me.

One last saturday

2008-03-29T00:05:00.002+08:00

Was told this is my last saturday to spend, and i have to cherish it. Yes, in fact i've to work my ass off for the next few weeks, month. whatever. So away from training, away from my beloved friends. i kinda miss them. We have a small catch up today, while waiting for the laptop to be okay. Didn't get to talk much, at least we get to see each other, and find out how they've been. I miss the times we had at level 2 for breakfast, the lunch breaks and short coffee breaks, the time when we were less stress and waiting to go out. well, when the time is here, everything changes of cos. But i will get to see them again soon!! :D

So i went for suki sushi buffet today, and i managed to watch meet the spartans. C'mon, its damn lame. a movie worse than epic. I wonder if the directors were even putting in effort, because it's like a waste of time watching it. So now you know how stupid that show is?

Okay, got to go to zzz. well, been very tired for the past few days. and friends, see you soon. my schedule not out yet.

The Rule #1

2008-03-21T14:13:00.003+08:00

Well, i catch the show. is scary, suspense. and i didn't really know what the show thing is about. but you know horror movie has never good ending. is worth to watch, the sound effect really make the whole movie even scarier.

I've recieve my pay, and i spend most of it, after allocating it to my savings, shopping, misc expenses etc. I need more, maybe next month, i can get a wii machine. Then i have to put on hold my Gucci bag. I manage to do some savings, and i need more money. soon to come!

Movie Week

2008-03-17T23:30:00.004+08:00

after a day of work, catching a movie is some sort of the best activity to relax one mind. well, i watch the spiderwick chronicles. is a nice show, is worth the movie price.

the show i about magical, fairies, bit of suspense and it kept me excited during the middle part of the movie, though the ending, i guess everyone know it. the good never die. is like fighting the ogres and stuff. bit of chronicles of narnia type of movie, so if you love that, you should love this too. however, narnia is better of cos, follow by this movie, waterhorse is also good. but talking about magical stuff, waterhorse isn't one of that.

next movie..maybe meet the spartans/ rule #1? lots of my colleague say is good. well, i don't know. =)

i've got a new laptop. and i make some muffins for myself.

Over the moon

2008-03-12T00:20:00.000+08:00

Finally, i've clear all what i needed to, and i have the whole week to rest after struggling with all the papers and the stress level that i need to handle. i'm happy because i have time to myself now, and tomorrow will be a day that i'll be out with my colleague for some shopping. yes, shopping.. a reward for ourselves during office hours, get paid to shop. well.. not exactly. but still, we don't need to face the books for a day. yeahhh...

i went for movie today, catch step up 2.. well, its not as nice as 1, but the story is about the same as step up 1. just that this time is a girl, instead of the guy.

dear friends, hang in there. don't give up.

I need 8gb

2008-03-10T00:19:00.000+08:00

Most of my colleagues are stress, same as me. we talked about work, study, test, and hard disk. lol. I had a long weekend, and i'm dread looking forward to tomorrow anyway, where i got to manage my time really well, and flip through the pages of the file to find my answers. well, the passing mark is 70% at least, so i have to get 14 correct answers in my 1st round, and 35 in my 2nd. and not just yet, not forgetting about tuesday, another terrible day.

i'm looking forward to tuesday more than monday anyway, no wonder people also say the word 'monday blue'. and i'm trying to find my L word season 5 online, but couldn't so there i go blogging. Anyway, it been a long while since i last blog, maybe about a week. okay, i heard good reviews about Leap years, i was thinking if i should miss it or so since there's so many new movies i wanna watch but i didn't have the time. My pocket's empty again, same goes to my savings, its decreasing everyday. gosh... how many more days to pay day? so long.

Crunching theories

2008-02-27T23:17:00.000+08:00

Whole week of crunching, i can't wait for my exam to be over. Well, a job that require so many paper. What for? well.. just look at the number of figures that i may earn the next time. Well, hope my effort pay off. Few more weeks to go before pay day.

Many nice new movies are out soon. Like the leap years, well.. is a romantic sweet movie i guess. The movies that i really really wanna catch is the 'meet the spartans', i saw the trailer, is funny, something that i really need to perk my days up. Oh ya, not forgetting the 10,000 BC, i can't wait to watch that too, is opening on march 6th! I haven't watch Kung Fu Dunk, but 10,000 BC and Meet the spartans come first of course. :)

Birthday Dinner @ Fairmont

2008-02-25T00:22:00.004+08:00

It was my mum's birthday, and she has a craving for Sez chuan food, so i went google, search a whole list, actually the repeated ones are the one at Park Royal, Goodwood, Fairmont, and some other places. So we went to Fairmont, seriously, i didn't know they change the name to Fairmont, i was still wondering where is it. For those who are wondering, well.. is at Swissotel. Anyway, the place looks good, is at the same level where we had our teppanyaki that time, but this sze chuan food is so so much cheaper.

So we had the usual, hot and sour soup, peking duck, prawn with dried chilli and peanut, string bean w/ minced chicken, cereal beancurd and e-fu mian. The food size was just great for all of us, what i like most was the cereal beancurd and the prawn. Well, the peking duck looks a bit too overpriced, it was just an average size duck. the hot & sour soup was really that hot that make my tummy uncomfortable. the chinese tea was hmmm.. you have to put sugar in yourself and i don't really like their starter. Anyway, the string bean was quite too soft, the crepe was bit too thick. But overall, we wipe out the whole thing.

Here are the pictures. I didn't manage to take a lot, cos i was more engrossed in eating. lol.
