Eventful Friday

Well, it all started when i wake up....
"oh oh oh woke up today, feeling the way i always do, oh oh oh.... Good Morning Baltimore..."
Oh crap. I didnt really wake up tat early today too. lol
Well, i jus went for lunch with josh n xinrong @ the Pasir Panjang Yess Centre For its BBQ buffet. :)
This is wat we had...

Opps, apparantly i posted another of my breakfast photo, please read on n i will tell u where is it taken.


Ngee Ann Poly FC 2 i think. The one facing the busstop one. Was there on Mon i think for breakfast n we decided to have "yong tao hu" They dun have very fanciful stuffs, jus the usuals but one think worth commenting was the use or fryer to fried the "fried stuffs" as u can see. I feel its pretty worth it since they put in extra efforts to fry them n it makes them really nice.

This one from Ajitei at IMM, after wolfing down the ramen n side dishes, (notice there is no picture coz we were "wolfing" down the ramen.) we order this to sweeten up the meal. Looks nice. The top was chestnuts finely smashed n whipped into a cream form. the pink n white balls were glutinous rice, i think. It taste like "tang yuan". The peanuty stuffs behind is actually some gultinous rice again, coated in peanuts of course... Lastly the brownish cubes are honey jelly which is very nice n cooling. Machiam herbal jelly. :)

Oh, another breakfast my buddy and i had at Jur West St 51. We were there coz he needs to send something to his cousin house which is round the corner. Recommend him the chicken porridge with raw fish "yu sheng". This is the stall who inspired me to make my yusheng the other time. Though big bear dun like to eat raw fish nor ginger in it, i still order coz i think its really nice. End up he feels so too, but if only there is no ginger inside. lol Maybe special order for u next time. :) Well, he did say the porridge was smooth n the chicken was nice. *Yeah!

Ok, finally we are at "Ju Shin Jung" liao. This is wat we had. The grill n the varies side dishes n sauces we had.

The saba which i ordered. It not fishy n nicely grilled.

This is the chicken. Looks nice hor. Of course la! N taste nice n juicy hor! We end up eating 7 portions of chicken n pork. They were all very nicely seasoned. Turn up Xinrong is a good eater too. :) More buffet with him the next time. lol


Beef soup that josh ordered. Very tasty.

Cold noodles that xinrong ordered. Its cold, of course, der... The noodles is mixed with the bibimbad sauce. It tangy n soft. Very highly recommended. But beware, the serving is pretty big.

The huge plate of greens for u to wrap the meat. Well, i think the meat taste pretty well without the veges. lol

Err... Those who are actually thinkin wat food it is pls slap urself to wake up. Dun dream about this restuarant anymore. lol Its actually face towel. Y i tok this pic coz initially it was shrink wrap n u need to add water to make them expand. Pretty interesting for me. p.s. i know there is such thing around ok....


Pic of josh with his fav rabbit character at the IT show. Actually was intending to go IT fair after lunch but was called upon by my lecturer to attend a seminar. Because a whole lot of us was intending to skip it coz we find them very boring. (It really very boring in the end... ) But the lec call, so give him face loh... lol
IT show was a boring place for me, coz... Well, asus had a better offer for the lappy that i m using now, at the same price... Sianz... But in the end i felt better coz i went to sign up the starhub maxonline where i actually save 10 bucks of the current price i am paying. I am paying the full price now n without a contract. Apparantly starhub dun allow u to get a discount unless u recontract. So i waited pretty long before this. N end up i got a 26" samsung LCD TV which will only come at may... so long... n a wall calender which u will see later n 40 bucks robinsons voucher. Not bad la. Consider that if i jus recontract without the free TV n get a 25% discount instead, i would save 300 bucks. So TV better worth ba. :)

Dinner is "Teahouse" at City hall with compliments from sean. Thanks! Ww had this "mala" duck. Duck is actually my fav food. Roast one esp. :P n "Teahouse" nvr fails its customer. :) Though the food took a real long time to come...

Seafood "Taohu". Not bad, batter is good n lite with a soft mixture of prawn n carrot n celery n taohu, i think :)

Claypot chicken. Well i find they cant be lousy whoever cooks it. The mushroom is great n the chicken jus tender. Simple n nice dish over rice.


Well we had donuts after that. A new one n pretty nice one at city hall. J.co donuts. Check it out at www.jcodonuts.com. Had half a dozens n some drinks. Forgot to take photos coz its gobbled down pretty fast. lol. Anyway the photo above was because i was overcharged for the donuts... they should cost $7 bucks for 6 but the lady didnt give me the discount. Maybe she calculated the donuts in threes n the computer didnt realised. Since we were leaving when i saw this, so i didnt pusue them. But was disappointed ba...
Anyway, the donuts were fantastic! I tried a few, like munchies n such but i think they really make them good. The crust were crispy, (maybe we had them jus out from the deep fryer), the cream was jus a dainty too sweet. I would really recommend this. Its at City hall basement 1. gogogo!!!

Lastly i took a pic of the calender from starhub. Interesting one as u can write on the plasitc using a white board marker. But the one accompanied was lousy, couldnt even write! end up i use my red marker n kinda improvised it a bit. :)

Nice!

OK the end, sorry there is no jap pic yet...

Yusheng at CC place

The whole lot of us gathered ourself at cc place for Yusheng the other day. I made yusheng for the day. It was jus lettuce as the main ingredient. No fanciful coloured stuffs. Other ingredients were carrot, jap cucumber, spring onion, salmon (self sliced by me :), jelly fish from cold storage. Crackers n sauce from market n a special sauce made by joshua.

Turn out it was a great yusheng, everyone praised the fresh n crunchy lettuce. (The trick is to store it really really cold.) The jelly fish adds tangyness in it. Salmon was fresh n the crackers were nice too.

In between we also played marjong n poker n i won a total of $30 over bucks. :)

After tat Adeline cooked dinner for us n it was impressive.

Great day!

That's the Yusheng i made! With the yuppies gang. :)

Wah... "Hao Xin Fu wo!!!" the lady master making dumplings for the hungry men.

Master Chef at work, Stir-fried pork

A whole table of food cooked by her. So homely.....


OK enough blogs i guess, hopefully i have time to post my japan photos up...

Was eating this tat day after i got sniper, the whole shop sells curry stuffs. Which was interesting. On the whole, the food were nice but tends to gets "Ni4" towards the end. Not bad for a try :)

Curry rice with slice pork

Curry rice with button mucroom n beef

Fried pork fillet with cheese

Congrats Kiran

Our classmates got married over the weekend at the Singapore Association. It was my first indian wedding dinner n we got him a few precious moments and a huge card which we signed on it. They have potato wedges n tantoori chicken for starters. As we were pretty hungry then, we took kinda a lot for all to eat. N i mean ALOT! lol End up when they really start the dinner i was pretty much full le. Dinner is buffet style, so as they announce the start of the buffet, u could see a whole lot of people rushing over, including me la! :)

Food were not bad. They hav dry n tough nann, brayani rice, dal (which i did not touch at all!!) papadum, chicken curry, fich curry, mutton curry. Wat else do u expect? lol

Photos of my class mates


There is wine... yeah!
See how happy i was with the tantoori chicken?!?


The souvenirs looks good.

This is the only pic i got, the couple is standing on the stage.

Look at the food we hav above!!! They are nice man!


At the end of the day, we went for a bowling session. :)

Crazy lunch

Got ourself into some crazy lunch these days,

Crazy lunch at SP FC4 - Triple chicken rice add fish fillet. with fish soup. We end up eating $7 bucks worth of fruits.

The next day we went to SP FC3 for another crazy lunch, this time more people. Eating black pepper chicken rice with mutton steak, wantan soup, fried wantan, waffles n icecreams, prata and thosai.

Shokudo Japanese Pasta & Pizza

Had our dinner with joshua that day when we go watch the dimsum dollies. They kinda mixed up my order, i actually ordered linguinie instead of the spaghetti but i didnt realised it untill after a few bites. So i was evilly thinking of grabing a few more bites before telling them. Then josh's came n i told the staff about my order. Almost half the main ingredients were eaten up le, so the staff looked stunned n unwillingly took the place away. He brought the plate to the manager who was at the cashier, then a few of them were staring blindly at the place, not knowing wat to do. I got a little impatient after the wait n got them to bring the plate back looking unhappy. I was still thinking that the manager will offer discounts to my meal but in the end... NO...
On the whole, i would say that the restuarant is pretty decent. Food was decent. If not for the service i would go again. I think Warraku de Pasta at marine square is better with better service.

Unagi n prawn spaghetti in basil sauce

Fried chicken n asparagus linguinie in tomato cream sauce

Their pizza, crust is super thin, like crispy nann.

Bacon n cheese in wasabi mayo

Marksman evolved to Sniper!!!

Well, went out to get sniper over the weekend as marksman was replace. It was a bitter sweet story. I initially got marksman as i didn't think that i will use it for gaming as i hav a desktop at hme. Recently my desktop got haywired and i was pretty frustrated about it. End up i was without game for more then a month which kinda drove me crazy...

On the other hand, my class mate were complaining that she wants to get a lappy but wasnt really willing to spend much on it. She also comment that my laptop was pretty nice. I actually got this idea of selling it to her at a low price so that i could get a new one too. One stone hit two birds huh? I tot that if i would have sold my lappy online, i would priced it $1200 but since i am kinda helping my friend n she would be helping me in another way, i decided to reduced it to $1000. Which i feel its kinda a premium since i got it at $1599 off the $2299 price tag in the market as i paid as a student. And it 6mths old. I could also throw in all the accessorises that i am not using anymore which would add up easily to another $50 bucks. But, as i was discussing it with big bear, another classmate of mine overheard it n expresses he interest in the lappy at $1000. I told him that if the other class mate didn't wanna buy, i would sell it to him.

So, with two buyers on hand, i decided its time to get a powderful lappy to address all my needs. :)

Turn to Lenovo Y510 initially. A T7500 2.2Ghz processor with 3Gb ram n a Geforce 8600 GT (256mb) n 200gb HDD. I power machine at the price of 2499. Was thinking of buying this as i feels the price over spec is great. But i hesitate when i saw the MAC...

Was shopping at IMM looking for this lappy when i chance upon the mac shop. Wasn't really eager for a mac initially as i find that i knew nuts bout mac, n it would be difficult to use without Microsoft stuffs. But there was this sales guy who was very helpful. Brought me thru the uses of a mac n i was amazed. Most importantly, the mac can open 52 windows of the "safari"!!! Try doing that on ur PC n i guaranty ur PC will lag. But the price was sky high.... $3452 for the mac bk pro. This cause much unhappiness over my friends as they are all very annoyed that i couldn't make up my mind... Sorry guys!

Eventually i got over the mac diesease n decided to get a PC. untill my friend told me the Lenovo Y510 dun look that nice, n its a china brand... Man, this greatly decrease its "appealing index". Imagine if i would to hold a mac bk pro outside, the "appealing index" would be 10 "WAH!!!" But if i hold a Lenovo, it would be a 5 "Chey a lenovo, lousy one..." So i decided to select ASUS, coz its business class lappy is pretty neat n they are actually the oem makers of SONY, so it cant go wrong buying it.

That y i end up with this...

Sniper, notice the revolving video cam. Watchout! i can shoot from behind too!!!

Sniper when closed. Nice piano black with a small sliver line to add to the classy factor. lol

Dim Sum anyone??

Went to see the Dim sum dollies yesterday with josh to celebrate his birthday. It was a hilarious evening with them, cracking joke of the founding of singapore. It started with the dollies siting on a huge clamshell singing away. Then Hossen Leong came out as Alexandra the great. Funny! He walked to the small miniature of singapore, see see look look, typical Hossen, then exclaimed, "too small" then walk away. Alexandra style. lol Next he appeared dressed up as other characters like, Ceasers, Genhis Khan, Gandi, Indian chief a alot more. Jus a few minutes of his appearance already made us all lauf like mad!

Well all this laufing n clapping lasted throughout the show. With shows of Sang Nila Utama (Hossen) and Spice girls, (Selena as star anise, Pam as black pepper, Emma as ginger, Hossen as chilli, as he is "hot" lol. The last one was actually Cinnamon, which was quite a statue. Then they start singing songs,spice girls song but spoofed of course. lol. Next was a spoof of Pirates of the Caribbean, Selena plays "Jack Shadow" n Hossen Leong play the a captured lady but ends up bargaining for the pirates loot.

There's a lot more like the "Samsui" (Some sui <--- pretty) woman, kamakazi pilots, mata in shorts, where they spoof a song for Mr Lee (u know who la) The songs have lots of words like "professional-lee", "Obedient-lee", "xxx-lee" well u know know wat ba. :)

After the wonderful show, we managed to get a picture with the dollies. :) N bought their CD too. But i personal-lee feels that watching the show is far more entertaining then listening to the cd.

Triple meat risotto in cream sauce.
