Young looking

Today got a supplier came to my company. I never met him before and only communicate to him thru phone. So when I went to the company lobby to meet him, he looked at me with big eyes and asked:"You are a Dr?". I said:"Yes. Why?". Then, he asked me how old I am. I told him I am 30+. He said:"You look like 23 only!". Then, I joked with him that I have to buy something from him liao. Haha!! Any way, he said he is serious and not to make me happy so I buy things from him. Hoho.. So must take care some more.

Yunnan Garden Restaurant

I went to Yunnan Garden Restaurant at One North in the afternoon. It is a quiet place where no queue and no crowds. I think this is due to the fact that it is located inside NTU club where no many people know. I went for their dim sum lunch. As there are not many people, the service is quite good as it is fast. The staffs that attended to me are quite polite. The food serve up quite fast too.The setting is typical chinese style and the aircon is rather cold. I ordered porridge, dumpling etc.. where I feel you can find it elsewhere. The food is nice but I feel not much diff as compared to other dim sum restaurant. The good point is it is quiet and no kids to disturb when I was there. Overall, not bad but price I feel might be on a high side. NTU members get 20% discount.

Uncle

Today 2 primary school kids approached me and asked me for the time. After telling them, the first kid said:"Thank you.". The second kid said:"Thank you, uncle.". Though my age qualifies to be uncle, I feel kind of not used to it. Haha. Any way, the first kid quickly told the second kid:"It is better to say sir than uncle." Then, they quickly said:"Thank you, sir." So who say kids nowadays no discipline? These two kids show that they are well-mannered though I was called an uncle. Hahaha...

Nearly scare to death

Today something happened to me. It is due to my negilgence. But luckily nothing is damaged or injured. Or else I dunno how. This is really those never happen before incident and should not happen one. Well, now I will be more careful.

Ikea

I was at Ikea Alexandar at around 11+am and surprising it is not crowded. Gone are the queues towards the carpark. The carpark is also very empty. I guess many now turn their aim towards the Tampines outlet. Free parking and more spacious. Any way, now Ikea having sale and I bought a few good things. If only got 3rd Ikea stall. Haha!!

Sushi Tei

Today I went to Sushi Tei at VivoCity outlet for my dinner at around 8.45pm. Though there is a queue, I got my seats within 5 minutes. The setting and lighting in this outlet I feel is quite nice. There is a corridor that leads to the inner restaurant so people walking by wun see u. The service there is quite ok. They are not particularly very friendly but the response is prompt and fast. Food is served rather quick too. The food is rather tasty. It is served hot and smell really nice. The sauces are all there. Take whatever u want. Some of the food is quite exclusive meaning I did not find it in other Japanese restaurant. One fine example is their cheese scallop. The pricing there is affordable. A ramen is about $10 and chicken stick is about $6. Overall, I think it is worth a try.

Transformers

I just came back watching Transformers. I am looking forward to this show ever since it started showing here. Finally I caught it on the cinema. I, a non Transformers fan, went to watch this with a Transformers fan. The verdict is that if you are a fan, you will feel the movie somehow did not manage to capture the essense of the original show. For non-fan, I feel quite nice. Overall, I feel the flow is good and special effects are very nicely done. The transforming are very detailed. However, the fighting is a bit messy and ending I feel a bit stupid. Overall, still a nice try.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I just came back watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This time round the story is darker and has lesser jokes. Maybe it is to unfold more details, the show is a bit slow throughtout which tends to be a bit boring at times. I am not a Harry Potter fans but I am fans of special effects. The effects I feel is quite nice. On the whole, I feel ok. The best grace saving part I feel is the showdown at the end of the show.

Friday the 13th

Today I got a presentation and everthing looks well until the Q and A part. The questions throw to me actually not difficult but somehow I just answer stupidly. Must be Friday the 13th at work!

Friend's wedding

I just came back from a friend's wedding. She specially chose today cos the date consists of all 07. Her wedding is held at Suntec City and today has National Day rehearsal. So I decided not to drive as I scare got traffic jam. My friends and I took a train down to City Hall. It is quite fast actually. But one thing no good is have to rush to take the last train. So cannot stay back late. My friends also too stingy to catch a cab. Any way, sometimes taking a public transport is not bad too. Ho ho..

My specs is ready!

After waiting for a day, my specs is finally ready for collection! This time I called them up to make sure. Any way, the specs fits quite nicely to my face structure. The lenses which I told them to shape it more nicely are very nicely done. Overall, quite satisfied. Heee...

My specs not ready

Today I rush home from worked so that I could go and collect my new specs. So when I reached there, the guy told me my specs not ready as they spoilt it! So angry. He apologised and promised sure ready by tomorrow. So I guess I have to wait then.

Swensen at Westmall

Today I went out for lunch with a long time friend to celebrate her birthday. We went to Swensen at Westmall. It is around 2pm and to my pleasant surprise, there is no queue. So I waited at the entrance. But no one come to serve me. So I walked in and then stand just next to one guy who is cleaning the table and stare at him. He was startled I guess and serve me. Then, we sat down and start to order our food. I ordered a chicken set and wanted to change the side dish. The waitress ran into the kitchen to check with the chef and told me it can be done. After we finished our meal, we ordered the ice cream. Then, I suddenly remember got one more dish not serve. I asked the waitress and she told me she forgot to enter it into the system!! So I told her to forget it and she apologised to me. Overall, I feel the service lack a bit cos it is not very busy in the restaurant. But overall, still ok.
