it was THE trip to City Plaza yesterday, we took a half an hour bus ride on Bus 51 straight to the doorstep of City Plaza. We had lunch at Arnold's Fried Chicken Outlet, and had to queue because of the lunch crowd. We din even know to take number first or to queue to take number. In the end we took No. 16!!! and they were only calling No. 10... so we just stand around in the crowded doorway to wait for our turn... We keep telling ourself that it better be good!! Wah lao!! In the end, it was damn good lor.. like way better than KFC.. I mean not to say KFC is not good lah, it is finger-licking good after all mah!! LOL.. But this Arnold's fried chicken is like even better than finger-licking good!!! so after a satisfied lunch, we started on our adventure.. We KIV-ed so many items and in the end never buy much.. I mean Pq bought lah.. I din even buy ANYTHING!!! Come on lor.. where got Wholesale price sia!! everything that we ask for price is like $30+++ region.. although can bargain but at most the price came down to is like $25??!! I might as well shop at Bugis Street.. Yea so the place for a great disappointment for me and Pq..

We den left at ard 4+ to head to Queensway Shopping Centre cos I wanted to buy my green (YES IT'S GREEN AGAIN!!) Nike water bottle.. and also get some sports singlet.. the bus ride from City Plaza to Queensway Shopping Centre took another 35mins plus.. so we were quite tired when we reach there.. Luckily I got wad I wanted.. But there was this really lovely female slip-ons that I want... But there wasn't my size anymore!!! HMMPH!! and it was only $18!! Since I din wanna buy pink colour, Pq bought her second pair of shoes that day LOL.. And is I hai her one, cos actually will not pass by that shop.. We made a detour cos I wanted to go to some "Classic Primitive" shop... hahah!! So sorry man Pq!! So I bought one of my singlet from an Indian shopkeeper with a weird accent while telling me "the price can be cheaper"!! lol.. he was like half-singing... and I bought my green water bottle with a lime green singlet at another store together.. The store-keeper was very burly and fierce. I tried to ask for discount mah, so he say the water bottle he can give me for $21.. but the singlet no more discount.. And I was scared if I say dun buy, he will whack me lor!! So i guai guai took the money out la..

Den we head to IKEA for meatballs!! they were damn good!! LOL.. like some sua gu!! we were both very tired already but STILL wanna go take pictures hahaha!!! and den i suddenly rmb!!! I paid $10 less for the water bottle and singlet!!! OMG!!! means my water bottle only cost like what $11!!!!! it's even less than the small water bottle lor.. but I not gu-yi one... it's he never count the money lor... and I really really really din noe I gave him short.... But anyway I am still happy!!!!!! cos I got a bargain!!!!

Hahaha..going for overnight stay at school later... im so tired!! from the consecutive trips out everyday...







u noe why i put collage? ahahahha lazy to upload so many picture.s.


Soy-based foods linked to low sperm count










took a trip to Labrador Park..
tot could have a good picture-taking session..
but the place wasn't very scenic..
just lots of trees...
and lots of mosquitoes!!!!!!!
until buay tahan...
faster run..
never going there again..

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

to satisfy my craving, dear and I went to Chin Huat Steamboat at Thomson Road..
easily accesible by the North-South MRT line..
Yes, this is the one previously located at Marina South..
But it has since re-located..
For a flat fee of $18.90 for dinner buffet, u get a spread of seafood, meat, starters, appetisers, dessert..
and unlike the past, where u have to sweat under the heat of bbq on the dirty and oily aluminium foil,
it has all changed..
now u get an air-conditioned place, and u only need to choose what u want to eat..
cos they have personnels to either bbq or do the teppanyaki for you..
so all you have to do is basically eat..
and the service is quite good, with ppl refilling the soup for u every now and then..
the steamboat is the yuan yang style, with normal base and tom yam base..
well dear did a pretty good job of cooking the soup..
he added lots of corn into the soup and made it super duper sweet!!!
and the dessert was quite good..
dear like the eclair..
and the banana was damn shiok!!!
free flow somemore..
dear even da baoed one banana to eat on the go..
after being totally full, me and dear started going crazy..
tried to talk loudly above other ppl's voice..
lol.. trying to be annoying..
when waiting for the ever long 72 queue at YCK interchange, we were reminded of our times in AJ..
and dear said that ppl waiting for 72 all had the same face..
all had the waiting face lol..
there's also this couple sitting behind us..
their conversation kept us entertained all the way home..
plot even better than the tv serial drama lol!!
yeap.. pictures pictures pictures..

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>




walking round and round in Far East Plaza, having nothing in mind..
troubled by module stuff..
walking into shops and browsing in nothingness..
lost at what to buy with the increasing inflation..
keep stopping in shops to talk about our own issues..
think we should stop doing that to avoid the anger of the shopkeepers..
since it was gloomy and rainy..
we braved the rain to wisma..
there I got the Perfect deal for a chiffon skirt at only $15.90!!!!
after lingering about a little longer, we made our way to Bugis despite the rain cos we seriously needed to get something decent..
at last our effort were not wasted and got everything within our budget comfortably!!
call me the Shopping Queen!!
Nicely done Auntie Von!
so after some logistics and admin work done, we made our way to city hall to meet the Tai-Tai..
Sakae had such a long queue.. had to wait for like 15mins to get the seat..
It was the most difficult meal we had in years..
I always hated when we had to decide wad modules to take and drop despite the lack of choices..
so after some self-convincing act and dis-illusion..
we finally came to a decent plan..
hopefully all goes well..

it has been long since the last meeting which was er...

Listening to: Blur - Coffee & TV
Thinking about: the race tonight and how unprepared we are.
Consoled by: telling myself that i will have fun tonight!
Unhappy about: missing the last episode of The Legend.
About to: fill in my indemnity form for the race tonight.
Waiting for: Nicholas to reply me on msn.
Maybe going to: re-print my notebook cover, the last print job was a little too dark.
Read about: The fact that we actually see with our brains and not with the eyes.
Wondering about: how true is this: Global Warming is a Swindle. An anti-globalisation propaganda.
Watched: Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Felt that: it was a 2/5 movie. to me its nothing more than a downhill-brainless-rollercoaster ride. Not worth the watch.

Well, its pretty obvious that with the lack of action and camera, there isnt much to blog about.

Bintan trip!!!

had to go on a business trip with Wenting on Friday.. It was some kind of corporate team-building trip.. so we are the facilitators to go there and help out.. the activities were carried out at Loola Resort.. We set off early in the morning to Tanah Merah ferry Terminal to catch the 8.50am ferry to Tanjung Pinang at Bintan.. the ferry ride was almost 2hrs and we had to take another 1 and a half hour car ride to Loola Resort. The road was really long and winding, with only occasional vehicles zipping by on the country-side roads.

when we finally reach Loola, we were welcomed by the staff there, all local Indonesians.. The served us home-cooked lunch.. before we know it, the food was all gone!! so the friendly and ever-helpful Dodi (our guide cum instructor) offered to cook us noodles! so me and wenting were so grateful for the noodles, although they were just some eggs and vegi in it.. but when u are hungry, it's heavenly!! HAHA!!

so after lunch, we set out for the activities, we had ARCHERY.. many of them never did archery before. so it was really an new experience for many.. since we were all newbies, we had arrows flying everywhere during the trial.. some arrows landed in the grasses, on the ground and even high on the bark of the coconut trees!! but the local helpers picked back all the arrows for us without any complain, so nice of them!!

Next activity is kayak formation.. many of them were not keen on kayaking since it sounds dangerous. but after much persuasion from BOSS and the locals telling them that the water is only 1.2m deep, the group set off for their first kayak experience. the feedback was that although it is tiring, it is very fun.. we had them to kayak to the island located around 600m offshore and do a kayak formation there before they could return..

After this we had tea break where the cakes were catered from a family.. the cakes were OOOOOOOOishIIIIII!!!! so traditional and home-made, flavouring is the real taste!! muhaha!! after this is the grand FInale! where we had the four direction tug-of-war. must really thank the locals for helping us set up the game logistics.. seems like they enjoyed the tug-of-war the most!!

we had the locals to bbq for us in the evening, so after dinner, we sent the group to Agro Resort. after that, Dodi brought us to a local restaurant to have some supper.. we then headed back to Loola for a debrief session. it was raining the whole nite. me and wenting was hungry the whole nite, so we woke up real early.. had breakfast and admired the scenery.. the wind was really awesome!! we waited for the tide to come in before we kayak out into the sea.. it was so fun!! i think I will go kayaking in Singapore too.. hehe..there was another singapore couple and also a French couple.. they were so looking forward to all the activities also.. because actually Loola also provides alot of other activities such as Flying Fox, Rock Climbing Obstacle course etc... soon we had to leave the place and take the ferry back to Singapore. Really tired.. but it was really a great trip!!!

Happy Robot, Happy Days








Still Chilling..

Yup, today i turned down all outings just so that i can fully spend the day at home. Was checking out the latest toy releases on my favourite website Toysrevil , when i stumbled upon an equally cool website. So i thought i share this find with ya'll.

A website where people can share their playlist with the world. But this is the catch, i browsed around a little and i found no stains of mainsteam rock/pop music. Yup thats right, no familiar trashy songs that you hear on the radio everyday. Thats because most songs are all hand-crafted mix. Thats how i like my music. . . different

So only if you are interested, the site is : Muxtape.
And heres is the playlist i had playing all day long today: http://tre.muxtape.com/ (take a listen to this, chill-lax to the max)
Yup, so the internet is the new radio.


I Love Fish!


Thanks dear for the sushi yesterday, was still eating it this morning. For the last few days i have been out till late, even auntievon called me " the boy who vaguely lives at Blk 624". So i decided to stay home for the next few days...



salmon avocado temaki... and also Black pepper tuna temaki (not in photo)..


see daddy with the Temaki.. looking so happy.. and yes he ate it straight after this photo was taken!


the Black Pepper Roll..


and the all time favourite Salmon Nigiri SUSHI!!!


yea and all the rest is the wrapped up Maki sushi...


Currently waiting for dear to finish her lunch so i can go over to visit her...

Yesterday's meeting went smoothly, though we did not clinch the deal. We realized the potential of our products. Our client wanted to make us their suppliers, but we are running short of time.
With 3 of our members entering University and 2 of them enlisting this Friday, we cannot agree.
So we died trying yesterday... But on a whole it was a great experience. We will be trying another outlet soon. Good job team! probably after 3 years we can still come back to finish what we started.

So after a tiring day yesterday we went to Upper Thomson Rd to have Ba Chor Mee. Nice!
And we failed to birthday rape Kang Chng again! Went all the way to Punggol End just to find that place unsuitable for the rape...

Oh yea for the record, we spent the whole of yesterday waiting for the meeting with our client. Great job asking us to meet at 5pm only to push the meeting back to 7pm. So we spent 2 hours chatting about army, all because KC and CY are enlisting this Friday.
And before i end this post i must say this video cracked me up man. Its from Battlefield: Bad Company. For guys, i think its a worth a view.




A Happy Forest.



Hey mummy, hows your fever today? Get well soon, so you can come over to visit our "babies".
Got a presentation today! Yup, going to present our product to our cilent.
Im having a pretty bad feeling about this. Anyway after tonight its either we got rich or we died trying. I'm heading over to chee house at 11am to prepare.

Damned. Guess im not selected for nbsfoc. haha, must have failed the QC!

Get well soon dear!


PhotoShoot!
