Kung Fu Fighting...

I always wanna try Muay- Thai or even the traditional kung-fu...
But before getting all bruised up...
Taking it easy is the very 1st step...
And the only way to really take it real easy is...
Understanding it by not using your bare hands/leg but your stomach...
Hehe...
Humans always love to take the easy way out...

So here's the unusual Kung-Fu encounter...

The only way to learn, is throught the secret 武林秘籍... Or should i say the Menu...

Think its a nice concept by the boss...
Let you immerse into the swordman's era...
The whole place was what you could only see on Tv...

Almost everything was bamboo-made...
With chinese drawing and weapons of different tribe hang all over the walls...



I dreamt myself being a swordhero, enjoying a sumptuous meal...

And indeed i did, almost turned from a 孫悟空 to a 猪八戒 with the crazy amount of food...

Kick off the appetizer was the rice dumpling...

Smooth glutinous rice on the outside...

Compounded with lean minced meet on the 2nd layer..
Finish off with eye yolk to add the overall taste...
One mouth and its gone...

The "saliva fish" is their signature dish...

And no doubt about it...

Slice and slice of fish just naturally swim down your throat at incredible speed...

Then came the rest...

The only bad thing is that they all tasted a tad salty...

Now to my Kung-fu...

Capsuler...

It used to be $0.20 for small capsule & $.050 for bigger one...
Then it shot to $1.00...
Now its going at $2.00 - $4.00...


How many things changes...
But seems like i haven't...

Hello Ho Chi Minh...

Till date, still debating what took the fiestamania crews so long...

Long for???
Our 1st oversea trip...

Cracked our brain for a bit and decided on someplace relaxing yet adventurous...

So here our journey began:
As fiestamania step foot on the crazy street of vietnam...
Its not exaggerating when you see the number of motorbikes...
You might mistaken it as any grandprix race...

Yet the surprise was that they actually give way to pedestrian...
If it was to be in Singapore, i might have been made-deaf by the horns or knock down in the process...

Hello to the bustling city:

That aside, have to say everything in HCM seems so vibrant and colourful...

Yet most lead life not many desires...
Plain hardship yet bearing little fruits...
Yet most of us are complaining how hard life is...

Being the fiestamania we are,
No journey is complete without FOODIE...

The very 1st must try but not so nice must be *drumroll* the signature spring roll...
Looks damn appetising... But...

The expression tells it all...

The mixing of lotsa vegi + peppermint just dont blend...

So decided to skip that little part and have a feast, vietnamese style...

Everything comes to senses right after that...

Stomach were filled to the throat level...

Anymore would have cause an almighty eruption...

Spicy for most, similar to thai...

But an undescribable viet taste in it...

The night tookover...

The whole street were lighted up...

Metamorphose into another form...

Turning into a gigantic pasar malam...

Flies started to settle on the light bulbs...

Pushcarts & mats of sellers were placed all over...

Where all the bargaining begans...

The city life...

Basically everyday we were hunting down the streets finding for more nice makan places from travel guides and our own judgements...

Here's the other foodies we adored...

The famous hue noodle aka pho...
Dont know how the name come about but i truly fell in love with it...

Its like the guo-tiao here but with more tender and smoothness to it...

BBQ Garden is the place all tourist goes to...

Hided at a tiny dark corner of the street...

Its like a totally different place once we entered...

All brightened up and packed with tourist from all over...

Assemble Seoul Garden during the popular days when i was a teen...

And the cafe session after exposed by the hot sun...
Plus factor: The cosy ambience and nice setting caught our attention...

Back to business...

The trip can never be complete without all the historical visits...

The Notre Dame Cathedral:

Fingerprints the French left in the city of Saigon...

There's just a Magical feeling to it with it's coloniel feel mixing with viet flair...

Central Post Office:

Situated just beside the Cathedral...
Even if you are not sending anything, you have to visit it...

Gigantic overall with a history backing...

Funny shot:

War Museum:

Basically, you can sum up viet being a "war" place...

Not a dangerous place to be, more of one that values its past...

An educational hub for the other generations...

And you can judge by that with the number of museums available...

Cu Chi Tunnel:

Just put it this way, the landmark of the viets...

Nothing can beat it...

Not even the Americans...

First off...

We learnt about how clever and crafty the viet soldiers can be...

Digging tunnels and forseeing war was hereabout...

And then living in it is a totally different story...

Tried...

And almost stucked...

Saw one caucasian almost got stucked in the process...

Tunnel and tunnel we went...

Even saw bats in it...

We even did a "Blair Witch" project of our own...

Mekong Delta:

One of the largest river in Asia...

Inter-linking between continents, its like a mini maze in water form...

Its also HCM's main source for employment...

River linking to small streams...

From there, we were brought to different farms and productions...

Every stream always bring something exciting...

From bee farm to fruits & coconut candy production...

Snake encounter...

The conical hat'ters...

Living in a world of their own, the people are contented...

Seeing the simplicity of humanhood...

We encountered and met their way of life...

Family photo to end the trip...

What's next fiestamanic???

I Wanna Grow Strong...

Gold Transformer: Revenge Of The Fallen...

Catched Transformer: Revenge Of The Fallen with a twist...

My very first gold-class movie entry...

Its assemble very much like a first class business seat in SIA...

A food and drink menu catered just for it...

Service were very there throughout the entire 2hrs +...

Automatic stretchable seat with blanket...

And with one of my favourite cartoon show turned into 3D...

Jammed packed effect all round...

Accompanied by the super hot Megan Fox...

Perfect!!!

But i think Fallen did fall abit too fast...

The ending was like its trying to finish the show...

Nevertheless, still a must watch...

Brio...

I am a nocturnal...
10% awake in the morning...
Restless during noon...
Sleepy after dinner...

But hyper-active after midnight...
What is wrong with me!!!

Anyway...
Buffet always make me happy!!!

Was surprise by the full-house...

Typical Singaporean i guess...

Who doesn't go for 50% off deal...

Philatelic Museum...

When i was a kid, i remembered vaguely i would cut off every of this stamp on the letters posted to the house...

Thereafter i would collect every single stamp i can find and using my hard-earned pocket money to buy stamps...

But after primary school, interests were diverted and subsequently my only stamp book was lost...




So it was like taking the ride from back to the future...

Going through from the past to the present of the small tiny piece of print on the right hand side of the letter...



Don't we just love to post letters...
Can't remember when was the last time i posted a letter...

Maybe in the old age period when the dinosaurs still existed...

Letterbox itself have changed so much...

Was surprised by a lampost letterbox that was about 2metres tall...

Or even a drive-though letterbox...

Over time, stamps have flourished, undergoing many changes in terms of shape, size, content, colour and even purpose..

Now, in their own little way, they carry cultura, economic and political messages between countries they travel, depicting the history, the successes, the hopes and aspirations, and the unique traditions of their country of origin...

After the history about stamps & mails...
We were intrigue to stamps from across the region...

Brought me back to the days where i was facinated by the degree of detail on everypart of the stamp...

I got the urge to steal all the stamps and paste it all over my room...

Then everything i got to know about Singapore Post...

Somehow being a postman in the past looks everybit like a boy scout...

Funny hat, greenish-brown uniform with long socks that run all the way to the knees...

The only cool part is that they ride a vespa...

Apart from being all stamp-y...

The cartoon and action hero stamps kicks in...

Everyone wants to be a Superhero...

It naturally became a playground for us...

So here is how the clowning went...

Everyday we walk through life, overlooking about the little things in it...

Its just like a stamp...

Small but mighty...

Without it, a letter is just a piece of paper with words on it...

The Ship...

This might just be Captain Jack Sparrow's territory...
Treated to a shippy experience...

Lucky there was no sea sick...

And i just remembered my cruise trip when i was a mere teen...
Can say it was a boring trip...
Maybe its because it was all about going arcade and pretty much that only...

Its like wine...

As you grow older, you enjoyed the slow pace on the deep blue sea...

I will definately give cruise another shot...

But for the meantime, this is good enough to retrace some old cruising affair with my parents...

Hay Yeah Captain!!!

The Way I Am...

It always makes me wonder...

My 1st impression given is always a big bad X...

Playboy, Gay, Womanizer always seems to be tagged onto my skin...

Am i really that bad?

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love...

Its the big day for Damien & LPC...
It comes as quite a big surprise...

Seeing LPC grown from a little girl to one that now having a heavy responsibility...

It has come a long way and a clear justification that we are getting old...

Marriage is a knot that ties two string together...
I got goosebumps when they were exchanging vows...

And who says its always the case of the girl getting nervous...
Damien was literally shaking during the whole process... Who doesn't...

Throughout, everyone was just snapping pics with the couple...

Guess we have cultivate the Art Of Camwhoring...

And you can indeed see a glow in them that is undescribable...

Indeed, marriage is the milestone journey of one's life...

The happiness and experience can never be put into words...

Eagerly waiting to meetup with little Damien...

I am a Steamed White Dog...

I am totally addicted to getting steamy...
Locking myself in a steam room every other day is my latest hobby...

Its way better than sauna...

I feel totally relax and detoxed after that...

And here's...

My...

Other...

Indulgence...

My sleep clock have totally been haywired...

Getting restless in the day...

Sleepy right after dinner...

Hypeactive after midnight...

Need to be re-adjusted badly...

Cracking up Art Fest...

The Art Fest ended in spectacular fashion pulling through to the heartlands...
Trying to woo the mass crowd and broaden people's perspective of the 3 simple word that is so hard to decrypt A.R.T...



It was not the usual fireworks that u see, where u embace from the moment it started and then ending in spectcular style...



Started with videology on the centre tube...
The heartlanders were already waiting impatiently for the flamboyant fireworks...
But it was the unexpected flames and little firework here and there that was brought along with the story...



Then the finale...
With the firework was right on top of us, we were tossing and turning finding the exact location of the firework...



By far the weirdest but complete firework display...
Mixing music, video, acting, fireworks, crackers, sparkers all together...

Peaberry & Pretzel...

Came across 'Peaberry & Pretzel'...
Caught my attention but my mind was brought into a state of confusion...
What's the connection between them...
I googled to really find out the answers...

Peaberry - Coffee beans that are grown alone in a single cherry that had a very concentrated aroma and flavour.

Pretzel (or bretzeln) - Traditional German baked snack twisted into a unique knot-like shape, to liken the arm position taken by monks in prayer.



They seems so distant...
But they do have a common interest...
That is......
They satisfy my sweet-tooth...

Caged...

I am feeling breathless & lost...

Handbook on JB...

Being a mountain tortise...

I always thought JB is just about city-square, the mall that sell tonnes of dvds in hideout clothing shops and taman garden for their seafood...
Finally beside the cheap movie tickets and food, there's more than JB that meets the eye...

Starting my tour in JB:
1st stop: Jusco...


Anyway its just a department i didn't knew existed in JB...
Typical department that holds brands like topshop, CK, etc...
Still i manage to get some great steals before heading out...

Left the over populated city to the suburb area...

Was kinda excited...

Seeing how its like to be a "NSF" in Malaysia...

And they only need to serve for 3 months and thats it...

And there are girls too...

Here's Ivan in the "cool" uniform...

Simply because i don't know how to describe it...

Haha... Kinda cute in a way...

More suitable for the navys...

The bunk:

Which look more like a chalet...

Dim sum time on a scorching hot day...

Authentic with home-cooked taste...

Somehow caught in the mind why dim sum push trolley is getting lesser and lesser...

Finally its shopping time...

I know not alot of guys out there likes shopping...

But i am a shopholic...

Was bought to 2 contemporary shops, that don't just sell clothing...

Where you guys bringing me???

That Cafe lo...

Which one?!?

Thats' Cafe la...

I was like ".........."

Finally i understood...

By far the best cafe in JB...

Maybe its my love for vintage...

Maybe its the place where you can chill, eat or shop all in one time...

Its amazing how the owner bring Art+Music+Food&Drink + Shop together...

Everything were pretty much vintage-inspirated...

It gives you this nostalgia feeling...

Laid back with its signature smoothies and jazzy tune by your eyes...

Its the perfect weekend mood...

There is also a monthly mini flea market...

I always thought people in JB doesnt know how to dress (Ops...)...

Finally found the place where the well dressed gathers...

Its almost identical to That's Cafe but Roost is divided into 3 parts...

Its like a old run-down shop on level 1 & 2 where you can eat noodles you find in the coffeeshop and drinks served in mini buckets...

Yet when you proceed in, you will find a slick little shop that sells one of a kind stuffs personnally picked by the owner...

What's more, there is a mini-hair saloon in it...

So now you can eat+chill+shop+trim your bang all in one...

Maybe i should be a boss one day and open one here in Singapore...

It might turn out to be a hit...

End of tour...

Shall visit it real soon...

The Path...

Where does this lead to???

My Read...

Yes i know...
Its damn bloody time i read it...
Simple truth about humans...

Are Rabbits White???

The whole aspect of great food is no longer just that of fresh food and the best cook...
Now its all about collateral design both on and off the food...

Now i must say the gorgeous exterior/interior of White Rabbit definately deserved much 'Wow'ing...

Transformed from a church to a eatery inspired from the cartoon 'Alice in Wonderland'...

I encountered split personalities in/out of the restaurant...

Inside old Ebenezer Chapel , its a nice cosy dining setting...

Tall ceiling with large stained glass windows accompanied with dimmed lighting plus a little candle by the table...

Outdoor is a chillout by the bar or they called it the Rabbit Hole...

Be it by the swing or just admiring the greenary...

For me, its a nice place to unwhine or goof around after a splendid dinner...

Ramen Boy...

The standard seems to have dropped...

:(

This Is Not A Print!!!

New contemporary art space, 8Q sam...
No idea how they derive the name but it used to be a classroom now a showcase a diversity of artworks...

I don't know why but i just love art exhibitions...
Maybe its the smell of old painting being hang on the wall...
Or the touch of uniqueness and sometimes out of the world design that you don't get to feel in our almost routine lifes...

This is Not a Print!

Its like back to Art lesson in class...

Every room have a different identity...

I am like a kid again...

Eagerly awaiting whats installed in the next classroom...

One by one, I entered...

Each amazes me with a totally different feel...

Bring myself into the foot of the artist, i try to visualise what they are trying to convey...

Then was brought to a total new level of art...

That is.............. Sound Art...

I got no idea this truly existed...

Appreciating sound like what it is in music...

The sculptures that are made from daily recycled items...

Viola...

Nights folks...

Help Fire!!!

Another new place on the block...

They have turned church then pier, now a firestation to a neat and cosy restuarant...
Next time we might be dining at cemerty or on the flyer...
Thats how tiny Singapore utilise its spaces...

Gastrobar is born...

No air-con was require, dinner was cooling enough by the nature park...
Live band on the weekend on one side, the sound of toads & cricket chanting along on the other...
Its a nice blend if you tell me...




Doesn't assembly much of an old fire station...
Perhaps just this tap and basin left...




Mojito met my day...
Mint just suit the mood...




The firestation wings,,,
On Fire...




Sausage lover...
Tried 5 different sausages on a single plate...




Its nice to have a nice breeze across your face...
Rocking on a swing...
Stomach fulled...
Maybe staying in a firestation could be fun...
Some1 please call 995...

VIP...

Certified Junkie...
Slowly I am gaining weight...
Good or Bad...

Creatures In The Sea...

Fish farm tour for a day...
The largest amount of living creature in the world...
The ocean is just that big...
I wanna go diving again...



Was pondering^ Since i can't keep a dog, might as well have a fish...
Was looking for one that have my character...

1st up:
Finding Nemo...
Crown fish...
Definately have some similarity...
Extremely active and never die spirit...
But extremely hard to keep...
Shall give it a miss, don't wanna risk killing a innocent life...




2nd up:
Polka dot Stingray...
Suave and calm...
Plus the fact that i adores polka dot...
Its retro fashion which keeps coming back...
I scare i will cook it up with samba chilli once it have grown big...




Lastly:
Rainbow Crab...
Strong willed and cool...
Its something i wish to incurred...
Plus the fact that it is so colourful...
Its so me...
Minus point: My finger might get snapped...



Maybe i should just opt for something easy...
Guppy???
Betta???

Till then...

Amici...

Was in the mood for some good ole authentic pasta...
Fascinated by the sculpture and culture after watching Angel & Demon...
Finally, the show did some justice to dan brown's book...
Urging me to visit Italy and explore the wonders...



One of the best starter and desserts i had...
But the in between could have been better...

Starter: Fleshest prawnand salad blended nicely with sweetness from the sauce with a trail of sour in it...

On yeah and the tiramisu cake literally melts in your mouth...
One of the best i have tried...
No wonder it have won some aclaimed awards for it...



Della Buonanotte!!!

On Hold...

Lost in what the future holds...
Like a chess...
I don't know what's my next move...

Shy Or Shine...

Its alcoholism from the alcoholic...
Downing have become a routine...

Absolutely crazy but oh so addictive...
Here's one with the boyz...

KL...

Short weekend getaway that took place awhile back...
Have been on the road pretty often lately...
Spontaneous impromptu trip: Was like hey lets go KL over the weekend and there!...

Put up at Florence's makeshift crib...

Its have one of the nicest view...

Being 20+ storey high...

You have a "mini lake" right at your feet...

And when you look up in the middle of the night, its like a milky way due to the uphill lighting towards genting from afar...

I could stay up whole night stoning upon the "stars" with a cup of tea by your side...

The funny thing about the trip was that i totally missed KLCC...
It was the most unusual of places that we visited...

But of course, the usual pop in and there...

The place where everyone petal...

Hearts the longan drink that was introduced... Addictive indeed...

Cool little Cafe where you pen in your thoughts...

It was much like the school days where you hang out with your buddies...

Expressing your defiance and curious in life...

Drinking bubble tea and gossiping about girls and what to do over the weekend...

School days were fun...

See you Again Cafe...

Seriously trying to express my thoughts...

Ice skating arena smacked right in between shopping mall...

Was missing the defunctioned MOS...

So here we are, trying to revive the once reknown spot in Clark Quay...

To my horror, MOS or i shall say most clubs in KL close at 2pm...

I was just in the mood for dance, and when the alcohol kicks in, the lights were on-ed...

So the girls just went nuts in the car...

And i can tell you, i almost went deaf crazy with all the shouting and crazily high pitched glass breaking singing or more like screaming...

Crazy night for the girls, even at such early hours of the night...

TGIF...
So it was a nice long weekend indeed...

Casting all work aside and just let your brain/body have total relaxation...

I realised i have not write my entry on my japan & vietnam trip...

Shall do it real soon...

BotanPicnic...

As far as i can remember, haven been to botanic garden for as long as i can rememeber...

Dusk was settling in...
Inch perfect timing for picnic and just appreciate the beauty of greenery...

A kinda impromptu preparation:

But it was nice enough to fill the tummy...

For dessert: Strawberry blended with chocolate syrup of coz!!!

Dogs running around the field...

Birds chirping...
Butterflies transporting from flower to flower...

Picture perfect...

Chucked at a cosy site...

Acknowledging the semi-nature of life...

With magazine on one hand and food on the other...

When sun fall...

Another side of life arises...

Night is the most amazing thing you encounter...

Silent it can be...

End of the day, everything just fall back in place...

Will be there again...

Maybe longer duration this time...

Seasons Of Foodie...

Everyone tends to have a momentary mood swing once awhile...
Be it PMS or some lame excuses just to cover ourself up...

For my case, I just have a humongous stomach for foodie...
Never one to count my calories or fats...
I dig what i dig...

The reason for every season...

So is there really a preferred choice every season?

But wait... Isn't Singapore just SUNNY!!!

How i wish for sakura, aurora or even just snow falling down on orchard road...

The season for ME:

Much Ado About Nothing...

Mat placed on a moisted grass with the sun setting...

Perfect weather for an outdoor event...

The more when the lucky me got a good viewing place...

Fort Canning was like a fortress...

Fully Packed...

Everyone (minus us) were all with baskets full of food...

A stunning play excelled in its comedic aspect...

Wendy Kweh & Adrian Pang are just brilliant...

Immensing into the charactor and bring them out like it was theirs...

Wannabe...

Acting is tough...

Treetop Adventure...

Grabbing the chance to be Superman for a day...
You don't get the chance to fly across a river that often...
Even though in this case, its just bedok reservior...

Flash back of the adventure camp back in secondary school days...

Here i come to save the day!!!


The organiser that is scared of height...
And what way to overcome it...



With a total of 4 sites...
Each having different levels of difficult...

Its as if the human ape have been revived...
We were constantly climbing and struggling to the unfamiliar surrounding...
Who say it was child play...



And the best part of all the UPs...
The DOWNs...

By the end of it...

Sweat and sands all over...

We swing, We crawl, We Jump, We Fly, We Conquered...

I Wish I Could Slow Down Time...

We are always contantly rushing...

Being a robot from 8-5 trying to finish up tonnes of work that is always piling...

Pondering... What life am i leading....

Sometimes its just nice to stop at your feet...

Slow down everything that is in process...

How i wish to have more that 24hrs a day...

The Perfection Of ImPerfection...

Everyday we walk through life...

Trying to perfect the things in it...

Can everything be perfected...

I must agree i am a victim myself...

Trying to seek the truth of perfection...

Sometimes it makes me wonder what I really want...

For now...

I rather enjoy a nice night out...

And I was hoping this was my House...

15 mins mobile massage as an appetizer???

Thats something new...

And i fell in love with my drink...

Sweetness of the lychee with a pinch of herbal mint...

Food seems delightfully lavish afterthat...

With the world in such turmoil...

It is giving out newspaper for updates...

Recession have hit us one way or another...

This time round, its the placemat...

Witty indeed...

Lets admit that there is no perfection in life...

Deal with it...

On Top Of The World...

Nothing beats a night of drinking+snacking+chit-chatting with a sight thats right in your face...
Hasn't seen anges for the longest of time...
Maybe dated way back to the school days...



Its definately a far cry from her past...
Gone was the blubbly and clumsy little ava girl i used to know..
Now all career-minded and future thinking...

Finally the turtle have turned into a swam... :P

Everything have change so much that once you slow down,
you might never able to catch up...

But according to her, i am still the same...
Good Or Bad???

Jacklyn's Bday

Its more like a wedding dinner...

Happy Mother's Day...

I know we don't often say it out loud...

Marina Barrage...

Just a calm + peaceful night...

Where your mind go in peace...

Trouble pass out and your mind just blank off...

Danga Bay...

Was brought to an unfamiliar place that seems so familiar...
Everything stood still in an tranquil state...

Forcing you back the childhood memories...




The funfare we all adored...

And the 6 pax rally along the main street...

Causing mayhem along the way...

We just laughed at our silly self...

Don't we love to be a child all over again...

Big Prawn Small Prawn...

Was bragging about trying prawning for longest time...
Not someone who is keen to wait hours just for a catch...
Luckily, it wasn't to be...
As i was busy tussling with the prawns and learning "The Art Of Prawning" on the way...
All in all, it was a nice experience with plenty of catches along the way...

Ended all by BBQing...

Salted Ultra Flesh Prawns...

Nothing beats a nice meal that warms the heart...

What Drunkard Do...

One thing you should NEVER do on your day is to hold yr bash in a club...
The moment you are issued a glass in your hand...
It seems like the most magical auto refillable glass ever, its even better than any 5 star hotel services...
What's best is that by the end of the 1st round, you lose track of what's what in your glass...
Be it wine, volka, tequila or champagne...
You just down everything that is handed to you...


The face tells it all...
And its was just start to begin with...

Coincidental WHITES...

Ended the night with over-limited booze in the tummy...

Action scene outside the club that should be kept just for that day...

Conclusion, Never and i really mean never host your birthday at clubs...

Tested and proven...

OSH...

Attended a 3 day course on Occupational Safety and Health...

Its about time the emphasis on the well-being of the workers is look into...
Instead of just the $$$...

The course is to somehow give you a headsup on the Safety aspect and mould you into a Auditor the future...
I somehow find Auditor making easy money out of it...
Maybe its something i should look into...

All in all was quite an enriching course, where you witness all the funny things workers do...



Nothing beats a nice tea session at Royal Copenhagen after lesson...
Being a tea-lover, i am following into my mum's footstep...

Cicada...

Not that insect with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings...

More of having a nice chilled out dinner deep in ulu portsdown...

Recently, have M.I.A.ed for quite awhile...
Busy with work, concerts, relays, courses or maybe just plain lazy...
Life have been good to a certain extend...

Finally i will be done with my studies, after appeals...

And when i thought the bonus will be doing my already emptied wallet some good...
My apple have rotten, and seems like my handphone is also showing sign of aging...

Before i become a hannibel:

Realise Wagyu burger seems to be all over the places now...

Sometimes i wish to be just like an insect...

Not worrying of getting lost or what's ahead...

Where do i head to now after my convo...

Better Than KFC...

Food critic is back...

Being a Total Food Junkie, everyone knows Kentucky Fried Chicken is the only Chicken Fast Food Chain in Sg...

Yet nobody could bring a fight... As a result of the success, instead of better crispy and juicy chicken, most have shruck...

Lucky for me... This is what i call a real Chicken Fast food joint...

But why are there just 2 joints here...

Maybe Popeye forgot about spinach...

Back...

Recently, have M.I.A.ed for quite awhile...
Busy with work, concerts or maybe just plain lazy...

Finally i will be done with my studies, after appeals...
Maybe all good comes with some deeds...

Defend Of Singapore...

Educational Trip to the War Memorial, Fort Canning and Old Ford Factory...

Being a history student once, WWII still vividly remained in my head...

The museums are not for us to bear grudges, but more of a learning process so that mistakes will not be made again...

But somehow, human still don't learn from past mistakes...

We are indeed the worst creature of our form...

We induced Hatred to the world....

Why we humans just don't understand the term "Forgive & Forget"...

Annals Of War...

Poppy for remembrance of all the brave soldiers...

人日

Super late post on ...

Invited over to Ray's place for a lavish meal...

I always have a kick for homecook delight...

Shall hone my cooking skill again...

Anyway the food junkies illustrating the need for digestion after meal...

BEN & JERRY... 

When will the Ben & Jerry Flagstore be opened???

Thereafter, rounds of blackjack...

Belinda was on a row...

Even James Bond would have been shivering with "777"...
And I was the banker... (-!-)'''

Hair Check...

Was thinking of a new hair style...

Dozo...

A Private Dining Haven...

Immediately, was drawn to the intimate stylish setting..

Basically its a complicated mixture of simplicity, sophistication and elegance jap-french fusion cuisine...

Once seated, you will be served with a chilled sorbet drink to quench your thirst while they introduced the variety to choose from each course catered to your liking...

I was relatively impressed by the presentation and knowledge of the food from the waiter serving us...

 

Kick-off:

Beef Tataki with shaved parmesan and truffle mayo mosaic...

The name itself was pretty impressive and the same goes for the food...

Everything was freshly served...

Beef lovers must try the Beef Tataki which was finely sliced...

Its like it immediately dissolved once inserted into your mouth...

Side Dish:

As your taste bug starts to rumble inside your stomach, Tempura battered soft shell crab on galette of mash and Foie gras chawanmushi topped with black truffle slice were served...

Soft shell crab tasted pretty much soft shell crab... 

Luckily, the chawanmushi did manage to pull everything back with its smoothness...

Topped with Foie gras, nothing can go wrong and that little truffle adds a pinch of bitterness sweet in it...

Soup:

Followed by Crab bisque and Infusion of cepes mushroom and truffle...

Main:

So finally to the main cast of the night...

Beef tenderloin on "pu-ye" & granite hot stone and Baked Atlantic cod fillet on puff pastry...

The heat penetrating through the beef was nicely timed, coupled with the sauce and some crispy mushroom looking veg... 

Soft and tender, no wonder its their signature dish...

The cod fillet tasted wonderful as well...

Not over fishy but still retain the freshness in it...

Having it slice by slice and accompanied by pastry gives you a tingling sensation...

Dessert:
Was moved to the lounge for the final course...

What better than to enjoy Mo-cha creme brulee and warm chocolate cake with ice-cream and refreshing drinks after a delightful meal in a cosy upholstered armchair with boudoir-style chandeliers and fountain by the side...

All the nice food makes your head go round and round...

Its like ecstasy...

Bon Voyage...

Mini Farewell & Birthday dinner for Glenn...

The 1st to leave us for 2 good-o years...

And there will be more leaving...

By the end of the year, few more of my 46ST will follow suit...

My buddies are leaving me all alone here...

Maybe the saying " There is greener pasture at the other side" is pretty true...

Picturing myself being in the states, would have given me a greater exposure and experience...

Good luck my friend and enjoy your trip there...

Its probably the best time with the weak US currency...

Cooking Lesson...

Always wanted to dish out a simple meal...

learned the ever popular "Breaded Pork Meat" from Shi Fu...

Indeed i can't stop gobbling them down...

• Pork meat (Head portion)
  
• 3 x eggs
  
• Smashed Biscuit
  
• Pepper + Light Sauce

Crispy on the outside...

Tender on the inside...

Crewroom

Teenager phase was the wildest...

A world where pubs was the hippest thing...

Smuggling in before i reach 18...

I was fascinated by the pubbing world where all the ah beng & ah lian ruled...

Now with the extinction of bengs and lians, pubbing is now more of a chill and relax playground...

It has been awhile...

My friday nights with EOians...

The usual poker game and beers(Yucks)...

Trap on an Island...

Decided to stay clear of the supposingly loving street...

Its more like a competition out there...

Every couple dressing to the occasion and glazing around to see which lucky girl is carrying the biggest bouquet of flowers....

So is love just about a big bouquet of flowers and some fancy restaurant???

Decided to live out of it...

Was kinda last min thingy plus the fact was extremely busy with presentation...

Somehow luck was on my side...

Manage to book eveything in discounted rate even on such peak period...

Everything was pretty much in tact...

Was shaking throughout the presentation...

But all went well...

Got Gold for it and off days too...

Rushed back to do some last minute packing and we are off...

45mins ferry ride isnt long at all...

1st time on Bintan!!!

The resort was pretty isolated from the outside...

Goodbye to the bustling and nosy streets...

Once footed on the resort, we were greated by a tradional dance...

There seems to be a AW to everything...

Nice Bali setting, massages by the sea, clear blue sea and of cos the PRICES...

Everything was overly commercialized...

Even more $$$ than those in SG...

There wasn't much to shop except chains of Polo Ralph Lauren...
Real or Counterfeit...

Its up to your eyes to decrypt...

Bandung Factory Outlet, the only place that sells in Rupiah...

And Pasar Oleh Oleh...

Pretty most for dining and grocery...

Thats about everything they have there...

Goofing around the serene and beautiful golf course...

One of the sports which i yet to master...

Anyway being a total noob...

We just hang around the golf course...

Watching time pass...

And of course, being in an island...

What most people did, was to have your sunglasses on with a nice magazine and a cool cocktail by your side...

But sun was not on our side as my tanning session was shortfall...

Nevertheless, a total detoxification for your mind with the nice sea breeze blowing pass your face and messing your hair up...

Capped the trip with a sumptuous feast and "live band" by your side...

A nice short getaway but maybe my first and last time there...

An Hour

Gonna start on this soon...

Is 1 hour really enough to do everything???

Gift from HK...

Love them...

YCS Meetup...

Decided to write a grandmother story of my secondary school life...

I was a transferred student during my secondary school days...

Its hard especially when you have to blend into a totally new environment...

What's worst is that the class have already known each other for some time...

Despite being a introvert...

I was lucky enough to have a group of dedicated teachers and spendid classmates...

Not forgetting the terrors of the class( Yes! i was one of them after that)...

The "Terrors" were even classified as the "F4" in the school...

Maybe for all the wrong reasons...

Till date, i still have vivid memories of the days...

• Playing badminton with our teachers after class...


• Extra remedial classes after school...


• Roaming around school during lesson time...


• Drawing on tables and throwing chalks...

Introducing one of the Terrors...

Weiqiang is too shy to be proclaimed as one...

Could never miss catching up over dinner with your bestie...

As we get older, people tends to drift apart...

But for us... Its like we always think alike...

Surprise of the day...

The special guest appearance = Siming...

One thing that truly surprises me...

After all these years, she hasnt change that tiny bit...

At Jack's...

Marine Barrage...

Gone were the steamboat and BBQ...

For now, the only thing left at Marina South is the barrage...

Basically its all good and no bad for it...

Being not just a flood control but also water catchment area...

But the ultimate wonder of it, is to convert it into a relaxation place for everyone...
Then a concert venue in the future...

The moment i stepped in...

Its like i was "WOW" by the Architectural structure...

Hitting the Roof...

Green Roof to be precise...

With its large spacious field, an ideal venue for picnics and kite-flying...

And i begin goofing around...

As the night went quieter... 

We went crazy...

Its one of those days when you just let loose from the busy world...

and ENJOY...

Last note of the day...

SAVE WATER...

Maybe not this way...

Ah Ting Ah...

The entry got nothing to  do with Vespa...

Spotted at the backstage of Ting Tings concert...

But on the other note, don't you wish to ride one with your love beside you instead of behind...

I was so tempted to steal it...

Back to the main...

Tings Tings was in town awhile back...

They removed the old pop and rewrite it into theirs...

Many might argued about their funky style...

But i never seen anyone which dared to make music their own like they did...

Unique Vs Weird...

Its just a thin line from it...

They make repetition sounds so fun...

Found out that the group name comes from a Chinese colleague of theirs who told her the name sounds like "听"... 

Way Cool...

Swweeet!!!

Awfully Swweeet!!!

It puts a smile on me...  =)

Actually...

There can be so much "Actually" in one's life...

Many things are not meant the way it is...
And dreams you dare to have but not to take...

Who doesn't want to be Superhero...

Life isn't perfect...

But im embracing every moment of it....

太岁

Didn't never realise i was having 太岁 year... 

Meaning all the bad things will fall all over me...

And it have already showing many signs of more to come...

My health have been at the worst state ever...

Injury all over...

Coughing my heart out...

Compiled with my study issues, uncertainties and $$$...

To think that i was going to have a great start to 2009...

【小娘惹】 My Version...

The【小娘惹】hype have gotten into everyone...
Though i have to confess i haven watch much of it...
But its always interesting to know the different cultures...


I always find myself intrigued with culture, lifestyle and history behind it...
This visit was way before the show started...


PERANAKAN MUSEUM...
Bet more of ya didn't know it existed...

Setting foot in the Museum...

I was like a school boy having an excursion trip...

Running around in the fascinated world that i knew little of...

Overload with pictures:

Once inside of the exhibits...

I was immediately stunned by how detailed and nifty their baskets were...

Came across this conventional ang ku kwa maker...

Its exactly the same that my aunt used to make...

The jewels department...

The Perankans love anything GOLD like nothing else...

Who doesn't love BLING BLING...

The fashion statements...

Its like a mixture of Chinese+Malays style...

Check out the scandals...

Thats where LV got his monogram inspirations from...

The dining set...

More than just a dinner...

The engraving and art on the porcelain...

Pure beauty...

Narrative story about the Baba & Nyonya...

Bringing you closer...

And all the other stuffs...

Interesting day and an enriching one indeed...

Know the culture before it disappears...

Sing Out Loud!

Fiestamania crews reunited again for one of our fav past-time...

Its our way of relaxing after a hard day's work...

This time round we tried TOPONE KTV...

Almost everything from sing lists to drinks were second rated...

But who cares...

Its the company that matters...

And we fight it out to see who pitched the highest... 

Clear winner by a mile... Mr James!!!

With his unique style...

Here he demonstrate how it should be done...

Then he turned Teenage Candy Pop Idol...

Spotted with a flower on this head...

He wooed us with his cuteness and innocence...

#Puke#

Everyone LOVES James...

And if you still wanna sing somemore...

You can hone your skill online now at Karaokeparty...

Cool webbie... 

If not they have Chinese songs as well...

Its A Beautiful Day...

Clear Blue Sky...

Smell of clear wind blowing across...

Took a nice stroll...

Sometimes all you need is standstill and admire the wonderful scene...

I truly believe picture speaks more than a thousand words...

Should i get a SLR???

Yummy Muffin...

Finally... Its like forever...

I got to play with Muffin...

Only one word to describe = CUTE!!!

My house is sandwiched by dogs...

Cause both side of my neighbors have them...

Envy...

How i wish to have one too~

Moo!

I adore Chinese New Year...

Not just for the excuse of getting yourself new clothes + bedsheet or whateveryoucanthinkof...

Or the massive attack on Bak Kua + Pineapple Tarts + everyotheryoucannameof...

Maybe its the hustling air that submerges me in the memories and colours of a playful childhood...

Happy memories awashed in smells and nostalgia...

I love visiting my granny's place for one...

Nothing much have changed...

Isn't it amazing how somethings can stay intact for so long...

This year's preparations were late, by normal reckoning: causing a mad rush of buying and cleaning and wiping mere days before 年除夕...

My Dustless(for now) Crib...

Routine visits to auntie's place then to granny's...

As usual the cousins went for movies thereafter...

Totally forgot to take pictures...

Was too busy MunchingTalkingGambling...

By the time i knew it...

The holidays are over!!!

Feasting On...

Eventful New Year...

My bad again for the back dating...

Its like audit...

Back tracking and amending all the old records...

Events on new year eve...

Beside the resolution & not working for that day...

I have never really anticipate the last day of the year...

All more with crowds all over...

But this year have all gone well...

Maybe its a sign of a great year ahead...

Start of the day with FCs at CSC...

My 1st visit to the clubhouse and its a great place for family outing...

Bowling session...

Nothing beats striking down a pin with your pals...

Dota was next...

I feel like a total stranger in a LAN shop...

Gone were the school days when you skip lesson just to play CS with your friends...

It definately brought back sweet memories...

Then its dinner time with 46st (Wenxing, Xuchuan & Vincent)...

Surprisingly, Suntec was like a weekday night...

So much better with just the 4 of us having nice quiet dinner...

As usual the gossip and fun talks...

Then swifted to Maybank Tower...

All for a good spot to catch the fireworks minus the crowd...

Indeed everyone from the bottom looks like ants roaming around trying to get the best firework viewing spot...

We had the luxury of being air-conned and having home-made yummy milky fruity dessert...

And here's the majestic view before the countdown...

Hello 2009!!!

When the clock strike 12...

I stoned upon this view...

Its like life, having different views...

Bird Eye view...

Ended the night at Gallery Hotel with the fiestamania crews...

And all thanks Damien again for all the prep...

Yet again its drinks drinks & more drinksss...

Funny incident of the night is when some stranger crashed into the suite and keep saying...

"F#*King New Year" "F$%King New Year"...

Evidence of a drink too much...

Thats all folks...

How i wish everyday is like that...

Bo Buffet!!!

So much have changed till i couldn't recognize...

Jurong Point is becoming the next 'IN' place...

Yeah!!! Now there's a venue to supermarket at wee hours...

Love the Jap themed sector...

So its dinner with my crews...

Kuishin Bo...

1 0

Despite the current economy turmoil...

With Lunar New Year approaching...

And Sales all over...

Its another great excuse to SHOP...

Exploring and covering almost all entire nation...

I got myself some neat buys...

After all this...

I shall really just camp at home and meditate...

Meetup with Yiling...

She bought me to this nice shop...

Its like a paradise of Mirrors...

Almost every single deco are Mirrors...

Just be trying your clothing and see yourself in all the mirrors, would have made you happy...

Always the little girl...

Yet its this innocence that i learnt from her...

A perfect place for narcissist...

Then its dinner-time....
Shabu Shabu...

Nothing beats having a great retail therapy plus a nice meal right after that...

Dart

Tried It...

Bing's Wedding

"A marriage of two
Is for love that is true"


Always the most memorable night you will never forget...

My cousin definitely remember this for the rest of his life...

Here's the loving couple on the 1st march in...
Always the case of 白马王子 and cinderella combination...
Nothing can go wrong with this match...

The memorable event was held at The Legends...

And no there is no photoshop editing on the pictures...

It just turned out to be a NEON wedding...

Its by far the best wedding i have been to...

Purple backdrop makes the ballroom cosy...

Bossa nova tune smoothen the mood...

All the lovely wishes from our table...

Just love how the elderly uses 4 worded chinese wishes...

Not forgetting the food...

Goodbye to the traditional 8-course...

Hello to fusion and fine dining style...

The wasabi-prawn that makes me drool...

Here's the lovely couple getting ready for the 2nd march in...

Hands up for my cousin that held his thank you speech so well...

And not forgetting the nice wedding montage...

Colbie Caillat's song still appear now and then in my head...

And of course the toasting and yum seng...

Of course the family photo...

And my bro dressed exactly like Dan Humprey from GG...

Cousins Unite...

We purposely stand behind our Ah Kim...

Like the saying "Behind every successful guy is his lovely lady"

In this case... Without her, there wont be us now...

It was really a hard time back then with us turning the house upside down...

With Love

18 Grams Of Love...

Probably one of the best local film last year that didn't make it in the big screen...

18 grams of love is rich in both in setting and production values...

I didn't know a simple plot could be this good...

Its about 2 friends writing anonymous love letters to each other's wife to test if their wives are faithful...

When their wife actually respond, the two are left in a fix of what to do...

Pamper Myself...

Start the New year...

Relaxing and thinking of the next step to move in life...

Every year without fail, i would have set my goals and target...

But somehow this year...

I am pretty LOST...

Sometimes you just need to sit back and get my inspiration running...

What better ways then now...

National Geographic...

Something that caught my eye...

Great idea to create awareness right at the heart of shopping mall...

What's it like to have dinosaurs in the Zoo or Night Safari...

Now all we are left are bones...

Save Gaia

Everyone should do a part...

RECYCLE... REDUCE... REUSE...

Black Ink...

I finally tried it...

Its not as bad as it look...

^But do remember to rinse after your meal^

DnD

This year's DnD was by far the best... 

The place couldn't have been better...

The company was right just that a few of my crews never came...

The idea was there to be felt...

Ritz Carlton

How i was this was my ride...

The only weird part of the whole even was the theme...

One Beat???

Is that even considered a theme???

But who cares...

We are just there to enjoy ourselves and "let our hair down"...

Started with free photo-taking and bunny girls to entertain the crowd at the reception...

Followed by sumptuous feast accompanied with some tribal dancing, games, lucky draw and magic show by Singapore's only female magician 'Ning'.

Far from impressed, was looking for more than your average chain and hook magic...

With the EOians around, there's definitely plenty of drinking...

Think the waitress is more busy serving us drink than food...

Be warned: Stay clear of them, if you want a proper liver...

The alcoholics...

Drinking always make the world go round...

I love seeing people get drunk and do all sorts of funny acts...

Oh did i just tell you i won a lucky draw...

Its not the 1st prize: Trip to Europe...

But who cares... 

A lucky year ahead, i hope...

As if the beers and wines were not enough...

Headed down to Zirca with my 46st for more...

The thing with mixing club and circle just don't click...

Maybe it will soon follow suit with MOS...

Hello 2009!!!

2008 have been more of a crazy year for most...

- Sichuan Earthquake and Myanmar Cyclone that shaked the globe...
- The peak and collapse of the financial markets...
- Bankruptcies of centuries-old companies,
- Eye-opening Olympics in China that got eveyone glued to the tv...
- The first Amercian Black President Obama...
- First F1 night race here in Singapore...
- Mas Selamat mystery & Terrorist Threat become a norm all over the world...

The list can go on & on...

On a personal level, 2008 have been quite a year...

I have seen many blessful marriage of friends and relatives...
Maybe its partly due to the auspicious year (08)...
But have also witness failed relationship and marriage of some of my closest friends...
Love can bring so much happiness but yet sadness to some...
Love have never been at my side...
It takes 2 hand to clap...
Maybe the other is unwilling to respond...
That one hand might just be use to give yourself a tight slap...
And say "Love is not that great afterall."

Work have become far too overloaded and stagnant...
It comes to a point that you just wanna put everything down and run...
Is it time to look for greener pasture?

Studywise has been alright...Considered that this might be my last semister if everything goes to plan...
Then i can close shop...

Family have been always very nice and supportive...
Just that i hasn't been spending enough time with them...

Nuff said...Time to pen down all the new goals and resolutions...May 2009 be better if not the best...

My Bash...

" When i was young...

I always wish to become an adult...

Where i can do whatever i wish/want...

Now that you're one yourself...

How you wish to stay young forever...

A pure and innocent life with no worries" ...

Like any others...

Super duper late entry of my BirdDay...

Happy Birthday To Me

Who say one is too old for celebration...

Crazy night

Us usual with all the cam-whoring & singing & drinking &&&...

Life couldn't have been better...

This may sound mushy...
Really like to thank my loves for always being there for me no matter what...
And of course all the lovely wishes & pressies...

And a Belated cake as well...

May all my wishes come true...

Paint Like Michelangelo...

Not exactly painting like Michelangelo...

More of eating like him...

Love the entrance with paintings all over...

It set you back to the 

Wide variety of wines...

If only so for the food as well...

" I feel as lit by fire a cold countenance

That burns me from afar and keeps itself ice-chill;

A strength I feel two shapely arms to fill

Which without motion moves every balance."

Its an indulging experience from the moment i entered...

This is the place to be with your loved ones...

Its like teleport to an Italian town in a slow & quiet night...

Santa Come Knocking At The Door...

Addicted to House Party...

Its the best way to avoid the crowds...

Yet you spend quality times with your buds...

This time round it's Hyu's place for Christmas...

Started off by filling our hungry stomachs with BBQing...

And we held it at the most unusual of places... 

Spoilt for choices...

Followed by fondues and logcake...

By the end of it, we were fulled with joy or rather food...

Crazy amount of food we gallop in...

When the clock strike 12... 

Merry Christmas!!!

1 by 1 we took turn to draw our lucky number...

The theme of the gift is RED or GREEN...

And most of us were in RED Or GREEN too...

So here are the participants:

Wenxing Vs Jon

Qingzhong Vs Yida

Hyu Vs James

Jacky Vs Dexter

Jolin Vs Tracy

Damien Vs ME

Then its just snapping away and catching some odd DVDs...

Crazy people love NUTS...

Ended the night playing Uno Stacko, Party games with the companion of wine and liquor...

The remaining of the Fiestamania crews...

Where have the rest gone???

Don't everyone just love Xmas...

Carnivores...

Have been having too much of buffetsss...

But how can i not...

Its the festive...

Being a meat lover...

Canivores is the one stop to encounter all the meatsss in a single meal...

Brazilian Flava

Meaty Affair...

The only ingredients to blend with all the meatsss...

By the end of the meal, i was feeling like a lion...

Then came the digesting part...

Gift xchange...
Agnes B have become my ultimate bestfriend...

I have received the most from it this year...

And brudder with his Osim Love...

Merry Xmas...

I Love Christmas...
Its the time for meetup...
Cracking the head on what to give on Xmas...
And all the nice decos around town...

Last Birthday update (I guess)...

Peiqin's Smashing 21st...

Venue: Marina Mandarin Suite

Immediately the huge chandelier at the lobby caught my eye..

The Hotel combines contemporary elegance and modern efficiency with asian grace...

Balcony view of the bustling city...

Its the best way to escape from the intense pressure of life...

An ideal venue for parties...

All her friends were there...

There were about 60++ pax in the room...

Yet its still so spacious...

How i wish to owe a penthouse...

So here's the birthday girl making her wishes and blowing off the candles...

Her expression says it all = HaPpY...

Hell break loosed when her parents left...

But before that...

Cam whores all the way...

A proper picture of the misc groupie...

Who say guys don't camwhore...

We are the HIAOsss..

The undisputed HIAOest of all...

Me & my Bro...

Putting on Tinkerbell and star earrings...

The Narcissist

Then came the drinking...

Quite a few casualties for the night...

By sunrise, the room was filled with puke smell...

*Yuck*

Lucky the birthday girl was spared...

Here's one classic example:

Indeed 21st is always the most joyous and memorable...

Time to grow up le PQ...

And yes you can finally watch RA movie legally...

Rayman's next...

Double celebration...

Liang court Partyworld is the favorite singing spot...

Wireless Mic + Laser Lighting + Less Sleazy(Most important)...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMO BRUDDER...

Always like a young brother that doesn't grow up...

Naggy, he can be...

Emotional is in his blood...

But he is the most truthful there is around...

And he values friendship like no other...

Angela being sandwiched by the MENS...

Yet there are more female dedicated songs...

Part II
We are crazy Foodie Lovers...
Was deciding to have french or jap...

Why not have the better or both world...

What to do after meal???

DESSERTS!!!!!

Perfect way to end the night...

One Shot...

One Shot...
All the intriguing birthdays makes you tingle...
No wonder its celebration all year round...

Big O Jon's Day
Spontaneous as ever...
The guys headed at newly discovered singing spot...
With no bloody idea where for dinner...
Mad Jack came out of no where...



Waahh LaaaH!!!
Here's the Birthday Boy and Qikang...

Happy Jerry...

Even his food is smiling...

I had the so-called "Tallest Burger"...

Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs...

Not your typical childhood tale...

So here's how the story goes...

SNOW WHITE

Once upon a time in the Eternal Kingdom...

There lived a Queen who wanted everything and everyone to be perfect...

So, when her subjects turn 18, there are sent for "Enhancement" - a program to correct their flaws...

The Queen holds a beauty pageant every year where she crowns herself the winner...

One day, her Magic Mirror, who cannot lie without literally cracking up...

Reveals to her that a new beauty has come of age - her own stepdaughter Snow White...

Snow White is ordered to undergo a nip-tuck by the creepy Royal Surgeon...

But she run away to the Outer Limits...

Where she encounters junk, vermin and the rapping, breakdancing 7 dwarfs...

Prince Charming went in search to rescue Snow White...

While the Queen turned herself into a old Karung Guni hag...

Collecting junks in exchange of poisonous apples...

Hungry Snow White atethe apple...

The story goes on with Prince Charming LCing Snow White to bring her back to life...

And they live happily ever after...

Mirror Mirror On The Wall... Who's the Chio`est of them all!!!

Yet again... Sebastian Tan prove that he is the meanest broadway ah beng around...

Hilarious, Heart-warming musical comedy with side-splitting gags, snazzy song and dance...

Just the bedtime story you need...

Sport's Day...

Edwin is having holiday break before all the LEVELs come knocking at the door...

Benjamin will be shaving bald and trap inside Tekong for months...

Brother is clearing leave and nua`ing...

I am happy that project is finally done... And getting on with LIFE...

So its time where the cousins declare a Sports Day and just hangout...

Amateurs skaters...

Lucky it works just like blading...

Taxing for those who don't know...

Floating in the sky for the PROs...

Bowling next...

2 Vs 2...

Turkey eluded me once again...

End up trying this "BOMB"...

It really tasted atomic...

1 mouthful and got my tongue burnt...

Try it if you dare...

Biennale Finale...

Finally the last act of Biennale'08...

Hit it at the last day of the whole event...

Hope to see more the next time round...

South Beach Development

Were greeted to a Teh Tarik experience at the entrance...

Just love the way Biennale turn this old building into an Art gallary...

Its a nostalgic hint at a bygone era...

100 Years Of Solitude
Based on a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez...
Chronicles a family's struggle over hundred years...
This major artwork recieve quite a fair bit of critics...





Sticker Collection
In this room...
Everywhere you see adhesive stickers on the wall to create a spontaneous visual response...
Shed of stickers also covered the entired floorarea...
Repetition all over...

Swing

Its an empty, neon swing installed in a disused room...

It reminds us of the flow of time and memories in past...

Somehow it symoblises loneliness...

But if you think in another point of view = Creepy...

Address

Its a reminder of things transient as the building itself is earmarking for massive development...

Everyone is living within a box...

Let's reuse+recycle...

Thinking out of the box is never this hard...

Stone to fill the sky
It showcase an oddly shaped steel rock suspending in mid-air...

It arouse wonder...

Mysterious + Surrealistic scene...
As if alien have given us a place of gift...

Drill Hall
Dont really understand this artwork...

But its said to adapt to the space as it present itself and therein lies the wonder of the making...

and the seeing...

Private Moon

How nice if everyone have a moon of their own...

What's the need for lights then...

Everyday how be romantic...

Everyday would be dinner under the moon...

OK!!!

Rnough for all the exhibits...

Till then...

Time to visit the saloon...

And doll yourself up for the Year-ends...

Time for some resolutions to be put in place for next year...

Signing off...

...

...

Finally...

Finally scrap through papers...

What's next from now???

President's Design Award...

The Prestige...
As the award suggested --> S.R Nathan was there to witness the whole event...
Its not your average award...
Guys were donning the perfect suit/ blazer with sneakers to kill...
Ladys were in their chic dress and fancy heels...
Fashion at its BEST...

Just look at the Landscape and structures...

How i wish to study here...

It definately make studying a more pleasant one...

No i am not one of the award recipient...

How i wish...

I shall live my dream...

WaterBoy

I got one of the weirdest hobby...

And its like occupying 2/5 of my desk already...

Bottle collections

Its hard to explain the logic behind it...

Be it the design prints or the bottle shape...

Its a fascination that makes water taste "not so plain"...

Agnès b. + Perrier   B Wild!!    and Give Love!! 

Its like a ballet, they are inseparable...

B Wild! features Agnes's emblem lizard against the famous cult sailor blouse design...

Give Love! comes with Agnes's favorite pink rose motif...

JPG Vs Evian
Evian teamed up with fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier for yet another collectables...

Its just set the Xmas right with its flaky prints around the bottle...

Its has been a nice long weekend...

Retail therapy+Board games+Blood donation+Cousin's wedding+Mahjong+Movie...

And today's like the best day to stay home and rot...

One whole day of rain...

And i checked my thermometer, its like 24 degrees...

Cool~~~

The legendary Yong Tau Fu...

Platelets next???

Anyway took this opportunity to sort, and i really mean sorting out all my notes...

Its like all wired up...

followed by other stuffs (bills, policy and every other thing)...

Its like treasure hunt...

Found lots of hidden "treasure", that i didn't know existed...

In the meantime, I am clearing my piles of Dvds at my disposal...

1 Stone Kill 2 bird...

I shall carry on what is left...

BBQed

It has been awhile since i chalet'ed...

During the school days, it almost like every holiday you will be in one...

As usual, downtown was full housed...

BBQed with the EOians...

Beside the normal wings, sausages and satays...

Jackie just caught 3 huge fishes from Pasir Ris Park...

Sambal Grouper

Its just a lazy night of nice food, booze and friends...

够力 Birthday...

Birthday celebration continues...

No complains...

Its always a joy to witness the beaming glow in the face of the birthday'er...

Happy people all year round... Especially November...

Its my Birdy day too...

Mooolaaahhh!!!

The only setback is after that =  getting old...

Shit... Time flies before you could catch hold...

Here's Florence's Big Big Day...

Private dining at unknown Jap Resturant...

Its always nice to have a nice meal with yr love ones...

Then headed down to Eden for celebration(pt II)...

Lounging + Clubbing...

Cake cutting session...

And the Favorite time = Make A Wish...

Triple the joy...

Birthdays falling one day after one another...

And its even better when they are your buddies...

<Toto number>

Wish you forever 够力...

Oh yeah so cool to have a pet like hers...

Chef For A Day...

Since Mr Shawn is kinda free now with holidays and year end mood...

Its time to un-dust the apron and chef hat...

Cooking have always been something i love to try...

Tag teamed with my bro...

D.I.Y.ed with our own cream sauce...

Whipping Cream + Egg White...

Creamy Beacon Pasta...

And dessert creation from me...

With what's left in the fridge...

Mix & Match (Ice-cream, brownie, cereal, nuts, kit-kat)

Surprisingly, the end product looks decent enough...

Manic Street Preachers...

Manic Street Preachers was down for a one day showcase...

I got no idea who this groupie were beforehand...

But the MSP fans were in full gear...

Slowly but gradually Fort Canning were packed...

Seen like For Canning is the ultimate maybe only outdoor venue...

Its a night of booze, sing-along & sweat from the unbearable heat...

Yet no complains as its a night full of heart-thumping tunes...

They even sang the hard-rocking cover of Rihanna’s Umbrella...

I was already in full sweat by the mid of the concert...

So here's the MANIC crews...

And us signing off a sweaty and tiring night...

Porky's Day...

Tucked away at River Valley in a tiny corner of Stardus...
A simple and great tasting modern bistro fare in a casual but chic cafe bistro.
Great for a laid-back dining pleasure...


HaPpY BiRtHdAy PoRkY~!!!

Anyway back to the foodie...

Wagyu Pattie made from Wagyu Beef which is chopped by hand...

Yes i say HAND!!!

Got no idea how they do that...

Enticing or what...

Finish off with equally sinful and dedicated desserts to oww at...
I always have a thing for dessert...

Its like Honey & Bee...

"Smashing" Birthday...

Biennale@ Marina Bay...

Container that erected into a Art Pavilion...
Art finds its place at the heart of the business district...
But how i wish the place were air-conned...
Everything got so much hotter and sweater...


Before you enter the container, the majestic sight of bamboo and slippers...
4000 slippers perched on poles...
I was checking them out if they are havaianas...
Aquilizans...

The 1st installation almost transported me into another dimension...

Nostalgic...

Its like bringing you into another world...

A world one feared...

Cold & Lonely...

All hope is not lost...

The next one is like the opposite...

2 light projections emanating from the ceiling...
Rays of hope...

Which somehow concluded that doesnt everyone hope to live in Utopian...

Its the escape route from the banality of the commonplace...


Ended off looking at the sight we gladly miss in our everyday life...

Chao Recruit...

Life have become pretty monotonous...

Exams are over and being tight on the wallet...

Most of the time, its a tug of war with Ben & Jerry while catching up with the latest series and Dvds..

Its the life i am enjoying now...

Have been hunting around/indulging  for foodsSs & dessertsSs...

Better start skulking in the gym and work my ass off, before i become mild-obese...

Anyway was at Barrack House with Phy...

Etched amidst greenery and themed with original barracks layout in place...

Everything was served in mess tin...

Flashback of my life as a recruit...

Thinking back... I miss Army Life...

Like they say = You only become a man after NS...

NS really thought me alot...

1 FULL WATER BOTTLE, DRINK UP!!!

Yes being a adult, i always thought i could handle things indefinitely...

But...

No life is perfect...

Hello Teddy

When i was young...
I always wondered...
How's it like to be surrounded/sleep with thousands of Teddies everynight...
They are like the guardian angel that looks after you in the night...

I did not have that chance when i was young...

Anyway its like too girly a thingy for me now...

So maybe this exhibit is more practical...

Surprisingly, the exhibition were packed...

I thought teddys were like "yesterday's toys"...

I beg to differ after this showing...

Many were so exquisitely hand-made...

One a piece collectibles...

Then comes those more the the huggies...

Ended with some knitting exhibitions at the main of Art House...

Some hefty craftwork i must say...

No String Attached...

Melancholy

I tosses and turned...

Everything starts to settle in...

Till a point...

I can't handle...

Maybe escaping is the only choice...

Series

Birthday of my Fiestamania Brudders and Sister...

The festives started earlier than expected...
The brain started cracking on what presentsss to buy...



Handmade Cards...



Surprise... Surprise...
A plot set by Ah Ma...
Suppose to be a meetup with Dor needing help on her project...
And the ever-helpful Dor grately did...
To her surprise, everyone were already waiting for her arrival...



Followed by all the crazy photo-taking, food...

And yes, grate that all the assignments and exams are over...

Its the time of the day which means dinner with family...

In short - N.I.C.E...

Genius to the organizer for converting the Old Supreme Court into a large exhibition space...

Its about time ART is really appreciated and showcased more here...

Biennale at Cityhall...

Pretty sight to hold...

Wouldn't it be cool to hold a party in there...
