Unique seafood

My family and I went to old race course at Bukit Timah for dinner. This is to celebrate my brother's birthday. We went to Unique seafood which is quite famous. At first, I tot Unique Seafood is a restaurant. But later found out that it is just a seafood market but supply some seafood to the restaurants on the same level. So we end up in Owen Restaurant for our dinner. It is quite crowded for a weekday night. We order a 8 dish course and one Alaska crab. The 8 dishes are from the restaurant and the crab is bought from Unique. Overall, the food are quite nice and service quite good lah.

Oyster Omelette (蚝煎)

Today I am craving for Oyster Omelette (蚝煎). The reason is that yesterday I watched a show talking about oyster omelette by Kym Ng. This made me suddenly feel like eating oyster omelette. Haha. I also long time did not eat that is why I have a sudden craving for it. Finally, I have it for lunch and satisfied my desire. Ha..

霸王餐

Today I went to canteen for lunch and buy chicken rice. My friend did the ordering and I just stand one side and take some soup from the container besides the store. So after the food is ready, we left the stall. Then, the store owner keep shouting for us. Then, I ask my friend:"Have you paid?" Then he replied"Forget." Then, I went back to pay up. But guess what? The store owner said sorry to us! Haha. Weird. Any way, I feel quite malu but it is my friend fault so he more malu. Haha.

Red Cliff 1 (赤壁1)

I just came back from watching Red Cliff 1 (赤壁1). After reading reviews and strongly recommended by my friends who watch it, I raise my hope high before watching. However, after watching it, I feel it is only so so for part 1. Maybe it is because I did not read the book before. So I dun really get to enjoy. There are many talking and have a few occasional jokes. The war scenes looks nice but the fighting and killing all looks too familiar which can be found in other shows. I like Cao Cao (Zhang Fengyi) and Sun Shang Xiang (Zhao Wei) the best. The acting is more natural. The rest are so so and worst is Sun Quan (Zhang Zheng) . Overall, I feel the show is more on the boring side. I hope Part 2 will be better.

The Regent Hotel

Today my company has an event at the Regent Hotel. I was assigned to the help out at the reception counter. The registration went on very smoothly and finally my job is done by 8pm when the event started. So the rest of the time is to sit back and relax and enjoy my 8 course dinner. Haha!!

Woodbridge Hospital

Today I went to Woodbridge Hospital (IMH) for an event. This is the first time I went there and the place is not quite I imagine. The place is quite quiet and got a food court. In fact, it is just like any other hospital. Best of the all, the car park is free. Haha...

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

I just caught Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. I feel it is quite nice though many might disagree. This time round it has many creatures and actions. However, I feel there are still certain parts need a bit of improving. Like the angel of death, it is very obvious that it is recycled from Pan Labyrinth. Though the final showdown is not bad but I feel more it is more like kung fu fighting. Not very mystical. Ha..

Hancock

I just came back from watching Hancock. I feel not really that nice. The story plot I feel nothing much. I feel it can be better. The villains in the show is far too weak. So overall, this show does not live up to my expectation. It is not as fantastic as I tot it would be. One good thing is that Charlize Theron acts in this show and she looks good.

Reunion Dinner

Today I attended my secondary school 45th reunion dinner. It is a rather last minute decision as my brother who is also from the same school told me he got an extra ticket. So dun waste loh. This is a rather huge event as I think got more than 100 tables. Really can say it is a 1000 people dinner. The guest of honour is Minister for Finance, Tharman Shanmugaratnam. The caterer who did this dinner is quite lousy. Food not nice and service bad. Hope the next one would be better.

Lazy Susan

Lately I attended a meeting and learn a new word. Do you know what is Lazy Susan? I have asked many people and only about 20% of those I asked know what is it. Impressive. Ok, Lazy Susan is the revolving server mostly found on the table in Chinese restaurant. So did you got it correctly? If you did, good for you!

The Incredible Hulk

I just came back from watching The Incredible Hulk. It got nothing to do with Lee Ang's version. Actually I dun really feel it is better or worse than Lee Ang's version. Both got pros and cons. The Hulk still looks very CG. But their other special effects are not bad. But I feel the story a bit slow as there are many talking. It only becomes nicer when the male lead becomes Hulk and starts destroying things. Overall, still not too bad.

Starhub points expired

Today I just realized that my Starhub points expired yesterday. It is quite a lot of points so I called up Starhub and asked if they can give me back my points. Usually if credit card points, banks will give them back to you. But the guy I talked to initially dun want to give back my points and tell me many things I already know. So I said:"So there IS NO WAY I can get back my points?". The guy keep silence for a while and said:"I can give it back half of the points." So in the end I accept cos actually they can dun give one mah. Haha. Any way, the moral of the story is keep track your points!

Hong Kong relatives

I got some relatives living in Hong Kong and recently they flew over to pay us a visit. There are 13 of them. Yes. It is a big family. Many of my aunties and uncles went to airport to welcome them. For the past 4-6 days, they visited many places which I did not even went before. Like the Singapore Flyer and Ducktour. Hmm... I think it is time for me to try them out. Haha.. We have a big dinner gathering on Sat and Sun. I only manage to talked to them on this two nights. Other than that, I did not get a chance to talk to them. Hope that we can meet up soon either here or in Hong Kong again! Hee...

One man show

Today there is an event in my company. There are suppose to have 3 ppl to take charge. One is me plus another 2 more people. Who knows one of them MC for 1 week! Then another has to attend another event. So suddenly I become one man show. I run up and down, left and right. MC is me, tour guide is me, everything is me. Really superman. Lucky I think everything went smoothly with some minor hiccups. Yeah!!!

The PC Show 2008 Part 2

Yes. I went down to The PC Show again. Haha. After the purchase yesterday, I feel like spending a bit more money (as if) and went down again. Any way, yesterday was a bit too rush. It is more like a grab and go trip. I did not really explore fully the show. So this time I wanted to slowly see what are the latest products there. My friend's sister also wanted to get more things too. So I company them loh. This time round I feel the main buying frenzy is on LCD TV and AIO printer. The price of the LCD TV really down quite a lot. 32" LCD TV can go for less than $700! Really quite a good buy. Also this time round many brands also showcase their UMPC - Ultra Mobile PC. There are two kinds. One is laptop based and the screen goes down to like 8" or so. Another kind is PC based but all processor are built behind the screen and the design is quite sleek. I am actually eyeing on one of these PC. However, now is still not the time to go in as the specs are still quite lousy and price still too high. Next show is Comex at early Sept. Still got 3 months to store up ammo.

The PC Show 2008 Part 1

I just came back from The PC Show 2008. As usual, the parking is very scary at the carparks surrounding Suntec City. So my friend and I park at a slightly further carpark. It is about 10 mins walk to Suntec City. It is better than wasting time hunting for a lot nearby. The show got many people. But when inside the hall, I feel quite ok. Not that packed.

Carpark full around PC Show venue

Crowds at PC Show

One of the things we got is a digital camera from Panasonic. It is Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX520. It is their very latest product. I have read many reviews and they give quite a good feedback. That is why I know what to get when I reach there. Business must be very competitive as the sales guy offer to throw in another battery. So I feel ok lah since I wanted 2 all along. Haha! So I bought this. All this takes me less than 10 mins. After that my friend and I went walk walk some more and then bought a few more goodies. Not bad. This time round saw many nice items and fuel my next buying interest. Oh no!!!!

My digital camera

Kung Fu Panda

I just came back from watching Kung Fu Panda. This is quite an interesting animation. This show is about 1.5 hours long. The drawing is nice and the show is quite funny. However, the story line is very typically. Bad guy comes back to take revenge and the chosen one has to deal with it. Though the story plot is simple, it is watchable. I wonder why the snake and tiger are female in the show. It is because of the chinese saying "最毒妇人心" and "母老虎"? Haha! So make a guess who is the voice over for these two characters? Maybe you feel they are well chosen? Any way, remember to stay back after the credit roll cos there is a short clip after it.

Executive Cafe

Today is the last day of my student attachment. So I decided to give her a treat as appreciation. My colleagues and I plus her went to the latest opening restaurant in NTU called Executive Cafe. It is very empty inside though lunch time. I guess as much cos most people wun spend this kind of money during lunch unless they have a good reason. We ordered a 8 dish set and plus drinks etc.. for about $150. It has roast meat, soup, prawns, cot fish etc.. I feel the portion of the food is generous and fast. Staffs are attentive and friendly as well. Best of all is there are no service charge and GST!! So I think it is good to give people a treat here. Haha!

Scratched shoe

Today I accidentally scratched my working shoe! My shoe is less than 1 month old only!!! So heartache. I just alighted from my car at my office. Then dunno how on earth I kick onto something and left a permanent scar at the tip of my shoe! So careless. Sigh.......

Nike iPod workout kit

I just came back from my night jog. Today I try out a new gadget - Nike iPod workout kit. It consists a sensor and a sort of plug in. Just plugin to the iPod and put the sensor in your sneakers. So you can set whatever calories you intend to burn and it will beep you when it is reaching the target. When you finished your workout, it will tell you how long you have run and how many calories you have burned. I am a bit of skeptic though cos I ran about 3km and it told me I burn 250 calories!! A bit too much I feel. Dunno how it calculates one. Any way, just in case you are wondering how much the set cost, let me break it down for you.

Nike Armband - $55
Sensor holder - $21
Nike Sensor and Plugin - $55

iPodBots.........

Transforms!!!!
