Life is a bitch, so we should be bitchier;

Haven't been blogging for the longest time. Seems like everytime I start a post these days, that is what I always say. Somehow, I think I feel pretty guilty that I rather facebook my time away than actually updating my blog. Not really for anyone to read but probably just for me to put my thoughts down, in the event that my memory starts failing me, I have somewhere to refer to for past events.

Anyway, did I mention that the F1 Rocks concert really rocks? Oh, I know that was like eons ago but hey, there are after-effects! Although the sound system sucks and the time management probably wasn't too good either, the performers at least were great. A*mei and Jacky Cheung rocked the entire concert and man, when they were on stage time seemed to pass really fast.

SO, the after-effects of the F1 Rocks concert is that kutu is going with me to A*mei's concert next year! Yay yay yay!

And of course, my concert kaki for the previous William So and Ronald Cheng's concert was also kutu! I had indeed trained her well. She said that she is finally appreciating all these entertainment experiences. Even so, the W-So and R-Cheng concert was abit lackluster in my opinion. There was nothing much that was really interesting and was just an OK performance. If not for me having listened to W-So's songs half my life, I would have easily forgo this concert.

Oh, went to M'sia last week with lh, wisely and ber, finally fulfiling our KTV/seafood 'date'. We went for a movie, dinner then KTV. Pretty cheap considering we did quite a few things there.

Caught 2 movies over these weeks and both were quite good. The first one was Cloudy with a chance of meatballs and the second one is Tsunami at Haeundae.

First one was animated comedy. Storyline was relatively simple but not too stale. At least there was never a moment when I was actually bored with the show. Everything was nicely paced and the character buildup was done quite nicely too. Of course, it doesn't hurt that it is a show mainly about food falling from the sky. It's everyone's dream!

Second one was surprisingly good. I had expected the show to start out with the huge tsunami killing plenty and us having to go through their ordeals and how they survive that. This was a different kind of disaster movie. Instead of spending 3/4 of the time showing us how the characters manage to save themselves and strangers from the disasters, this show was spending 3/4 of the time building up the characters' stories. How their stories were related to each other (since they were all living at the same island) and how they eventually reconciled with their past horrors. Funny and very touching too.

OK, no photos to upload for this post because all my photos are uploaded in my office computer. My laptop is totally going to die on me very very soon.

Random Photos

Since I had logged into my Blogger after 10 million years, and these photos were already pre-loaded by me 100 million years ago, save me the trouble to continue loading my Japan photos. I can clear some backlog too. :)

Some dim-sum that we had some time ago at Ah Yat I think (don't even remember when, and with who!). I just remembered that I thought these balls look so globby and gooey, looked that they were going to jump up and eat us all and take over the world after that!

Our Karen-jie and Alan Shin from office. Taken a few days before he left. Hope he is doing so much better now! (And Karen is as black-faced as ever!)

See, we take photos so happy!! And that was when I still had my long hair.

Day of our Quarterly Department Lunch @ Garuda. Serves Indonesian buffet style food. Pretty decent spread and quality is not too bad for the price.

Ok, this is really testing my memory skills since these photos were uploaded eons ago. Can't remember where I took this but I thought that the weighing machine was damn cute. Looks like a robot!

Mango cake-jelly thingy from Cafe Brio @ Carlton Hotel. Looks pretty good but tasted pretty awful. Part of the buffet lunch spread when I went there for a PR/EQ course. Course content wasn't half too bad, if only the instructor was less naggy and irritating. He had all sorts of funny habits, for example kept on asking rhetorical questions and kept talking about the past, or rather his past. BORING!

Some pumpkin bun that we had at Ah Yat during one of our lunches. Looks pretty cute, doesn't it?

The chocolates, flower and cup that we bought for 2 colleagues' promotion! The cup is so cute!!

One of our outings to Clarke Quay, I think, because this looks suspiciously like the Liang Court Starbucks. Somehow, we will always end up in Starbucks. Whatever that I earned from them, I had returned to them x 10 million!!

This I remember! It was lunch in Malaysia with my parents, around Chinese New Year time. Gosh, that was like 6 months ago!

Anyway, this is yam paste. Damn yummy! One of my favourite desserts of all time!

This place that we had lunch has a very strange tradition. The boss will make decisions for his customers. Basically, if he says the chicken is good today, you can't say no. And if he says there is no fish today, he really means it. And if you try to over-order (like how I always do), he will refuse to take your additional orders.

Apparently, the day we went it was fried spring chicken day.

And noodles too! Looks gooey but yummy!

And since it was around the CNY period, he 'nicely suggested' for us to 'lou hei' too.

The sister.

Xiao Long Baos from Beauty World Plaza. The stall is sort of tucked in a corner at the top of the plaza, which is a hawker centre. Pretty cheap (I think, since I didn't pay for it) and nice too I recall, although there has been mixed reviews on this. Go try it out yourself!

Ok, first set down. Many many more to go! Argh!!

Okok. The intruder was bored and was bugging me to update my blog, so I asked her to update for me. Come on, who would seriously believe that she was not bored?

Anyway, I figured it's time to catch up on my blogging too, not that I need reminder from her...

So, here are photos from A&W trip some time back. I have been saying that I want to eat A&W ever since they closed down here and so, the next nearest place is M'sia. And off we went searching for it in M'sia.

Abovementioned is the story that the driver would want others to believe: that we went in purposely to look for A&W, but it was not the actual story. The actual thing that happened was...

I wanted to eat cheese balls that used to be manufactured by Planta, remember when you were young and the balls were in a cylinder-like container with blue and yellow colours? Well, I've searched well through the supermarkets here and found none of those. The only Planta item I could find was, you've guessed it, margarine. So, the driver cleverly suggested we go to Jusco to find it, since he claimed that he had seen it there. And, off we went to Tebrau City, supposedly. But I don't know why, it just seemed like we couldn't get to the place. Everywhere was really unfamiliar territory and the signs were pointing us to KL, which is not a very good sign. So, we got depressed and finally admitted that we were lost and turned out of the expressway and voila, we saw A&W in the Petronas petrol station, opposite a Jusco, though not our intended destination.

So, if we try to find the place again, I guess we will have to try to get lost again, and feel depressed enough to turn out of the expressway and hope for the best. Either case, I finally had my long-awaited A&W, though it doesn't seem to be as fantastic as I remembered it to be. Maybe now that I've become older, my expectations of food has increased too. :(

Root beer float

We already had lunch before we impromptu-ly decided to leave Singapore so I had initially just wanted a corny dog. But of course, the greedy driver HAD to order this huge meal, just because he wanted cheese curly fries.. Can't he had just ordered the fries??

Since we had already ordered a feast we most probably cannot finish, we might as well add more items to the wastage. And there's the waffles. But it is just normal. Waaayyy below expectation. Boo.

I guess the best thing of A&W is the root beer float!

And we left A&W in search of my cheese balls in Jusco and I bought some fake Planta cheese balls, which I've still yet to try. While we were deciding if we wanted Starbucks, we were attracted by this un-eye-catching man, doing an extremely eye-catching thing, peeling coconuts. Just trying to describe his actions is not doing justice to him but I still have to try.

Basically, what he does was to peel the coconut flesh off the husk and put into a plastic container, with the juice and sell to others. And he was super skilful! But the tools that he used somehow looked like the thing that I used to use to wear shoes.

Tadah! The whole coconut flesh and juice. In one complete piece!
