Quote from Kai: Why am I learning Internet Security from them, when their security is compromised ?

GONG XI FA CAI HAPPY NIU YEAR !!!

CNY Eve

Morning is busy cooking and preparations for praying. Then its cleaning, washing, wiping and repeating again.

We had steamboat for dinner while watching CNY programmes on the tv.

When the clock strikes 12, its time to usher in the year of the OX. That night my sis broke record slept at 430 while i slept at 5.

Chu Yi

My cousins and aunties came over.


Xuan Xuan and Chong Chong playing my toy cars, Which was handed over by their father.
Yang Yang enjoying his 3rd cup of Coca Cola. I think Coke should find him to be their endorsement LOL.

Pre- CNY

Thursday 21st Jan 09

My finance manager spoke to us individual with regards to bonus. The bonus comprises of Company's performance and Individual's performance. Damn my bonus halved as it's prorated for half a year. Late noon, Boss gave us oranges and ang pow, our wish for CNY is for company to soar higher !!!
First ang pow collected ! My Sri Lankan colleague ask me what to do with the oranges and paper. I told him eat the oranges and check for money inside the paper. If there is money give me, else you keep the paper.

After work met Kai as he still yet to shop for CNY clothes. We headed for Marina Square. We were hungry, so went for dinner first. The recession was so badly hit that MS was so quiet and some restaurants had no patrons, pity!!

We decided on Carl's Junior as I had yet to try. Every time come MS with Jim and XX is Cafe Cartel. The burgers are expensive, the cheapest with drinks and fries costs around $8. Kai ordered portobello mushroom combo while I just order bacon and chicken sandwich only.
Look at the size of my burger in comparison with Kai's fist humongous !!! The burger taste good not too salty with just enough mayo sauce.

While refilling his drink, Kai spotted some special and unique sauces.
Some Mexican sauce cold and tasteless. Abit like Prego's pasta sauce The green chili like stuff just like zi char green chili but mexican style. Cold, sour and alittle hot.

Here comes the test, Kai took another yellow pepper/chili like stuff and dared me to ate it. I nibbled it bit by bit, it was more hot than the previous green but managable. Kai did a kamikaze move and ate the whole stuff in 1 shot. The next moment he was crying and finished half a cup of coke LOL!!!


Kai challenged me to eat another piece and finished it 1 shot. I was silly and took up the challenge. The next thing i know my tongue was burning.
Kai after the kamikaze move

My rating of the hottest stuff i ever eaten
1) Ma La Steamboat 5/5 absolute madness. I only dip my chopstick into the soup and taste it and I knew thats enough
2) Level 4 spicy chicken wings near Seletar camp. The wings are tasteless but the moment you ate it, it attacks your lips forever. Drinking 1 jug of water is not enough to subside the effects. The aftermath you look like an african. There are a total of 10 levels for you to try.
3) This yellow pepper/chili stuff eaten 1 shot, but that's stupid


After doing stupid stuffs at Carl's Junior, we walked around MS, Suntec before heading home.

Friday 22nd Jan

Took leave today to help out with CNY cleaning.

Morning let my mum nagged as woke up late and she worried nothing left to buy. We had breakfast and bought some veggies, meat, oranges and stuff for praying.

Clean the altar and my room today, extremely tired.

But its all worth it.

25岁以下男人必读

http://www.5time.cn/show/2685.html

1. 男人是社会的主体,不管你信或不信。所以男人应该有种责任感。
      
  2. 25岁之前,请记得,爱情通常是假的,或者不是你所想象的那样纯洁和永远。如果你过了25岁,那么你应该懂得这个道理。   
    
  3. 吃饭7成饱最舒服。对待女友最多也请你保持在7成。
      
  4. 30岁之前请爱惜自己的身体,前30年你找病,后30年病找你。如果你过了30岁,你自然也会懂得这个道理。   
    
  5. 事业远比爱情重要。如果说事业都不能永恒,那么爱情只能算是昙花一现。   
    
  6. 不要轻易接受追求你的女孩。女追男隔层纱。如果你很容易就陷进去,你会发现你会错过很多东西,失去很多东西。   
    
  7. 请你相信,能用钱解决的问题,都不是问题。如果你认为钱索王道,有钱有女人,没钱没女人,那么。女人不是问题。   
    
  8 . 请永远积极向上。每个男人都有他可爱的地方,但是不可爱的地方只有不积极面对生活。   
    
  9. 不要连续2次让同一个女人伤害。好马不吃回头草,是有他道理的。如果认真考虑过该分手,那么请不要做任何舍不得的行动。   
    
  10. 如果你和你前女友能做朋友,那么你要问自己:为什么?如果分手后还是朋友,那么只有2个可能:。你们当初都只是玩玩而已,没付出彼此最真的感情。或者:必定有个人是在默默的付出无怨无悔!   
    
  11. 永远不要太相信女人在恋爱时的甜言蜜语。都说女人爱听甜言蜜语,其实,男人更喜欢。   
    
  12. 请不要为自己的相貌或者身高过分担心和自卑。人是动物,但是区别于动物。先天条件并不是阻挡你好好生活的借口。人的心灵远胜于相貌,请相信这点。如果有人以相貌取人,那么你也没必要太在意。因为他从某种意义来讲,只是只动物。你会跟动物怄气吗?   
    
  13. 失恋时,只有2种可能,要么你爱她她不爱你,或者相反。那么,当你爱的人不再爱你,或者从来没爱过你时。你没有遗憾,因为你失去的只是一个不爱你的人。   
    
  14. 请不要欺骗善良的女孩。这个世界上,善良的女孩太少。   
    
  15. 不能偏激的认为金钱万能,至少,金钱治不好艾滋病。   
    
  16. 请一定要有自信。你就是一道风景,没必要在别人风景里面仰视。   
    
  17. 受到再大的打击,只要生命还在,请相信每天的太阳都是新的。   
    
  18. 爱情永远不可能是天平。你想在爱情里幸福就要舍得伤心。   
    
  19. 如果你喜欢一个认为别人应该对她好的mm,请尽早放弃。没有人是应该对一个人好的。如果她不明白这个道理,也就是她根本不懂得珍惜。   
    
  20. 不要因为寂寞而找gf,寂寞男人请要学会品味寂寞。请记住:即使寂寞,远方黑暗的夜空下,一定有人和你一样,寂寞的人不同,仰望的星空却是唯一。   
    
  21. 任何事没有永远。也别问怎样才能永远。生活有很多无奈。请尽量充实自己,充实生活。请善待生活。

Birthday analysis in Chinese

Mine

11月11日 神秘者


11月11日出生的人谜团般难以了解,他们的外表经常呈现出一种生气勃勃、甚至欢乐的感觉,使旁人误以为他们的真实本性也是如此,事实上他们的性格却是猛烈、矛盾不安且神秘晦涩。由于擅长控制周遭环境,所以凡是对他们具有重要性的人、实质物体或活动,他们都强烈地想要占有。他们与阴沉为伍反倒增添了他们的幽默感,并且赋予他们一种喜感(和大多数好的喜剧片所具备的要素一样)。此外,这天出生的人天生是恋家顾家的人,是家庭的捍卫者及供应者,喜欢将自己放在家庭聚会或郊游休闲的中心位置。一般而言,他们相当有组织的才华,能够帮助所属的任何事业机构或社会团体推动系统化的工作。

11月11日出生的人全身上下皆散发着一种性感魅力,也很懂得如何利用这项致使的吸引力。不过,负面影响却是容易迷上同样具有独特吸引力的人。他们男女两性的人格特质通常都平衡得很好,所以他们的朋友也是男女各半,相当均衡。即使如此,这一天出生的男性还是得小心防备大男人主义倾向,而女性则应该避免过于领带他人或过于专制。

这一天出生的人擅长使用极具诱惑力的说服方法去阐述自己的意见。他们凭着直沉就能知道如何达到目的,有时候还会运用软硬兼施、攻守互见的策略来加强效果。同样地,他们也能够暂时压抑住自己的活动力,耐心地静观其变。不幸的是,当面临急需做成决策的状况时,耐心等待对今天出生的人来说可能就是一项拖延耽误。另外,他们也非常容易陷入深思之中,因而导致行为懒散、情绪低落。

就11月11日出生的人而言,他们部分的问题有时似乎是出自于他们内在与外在间的交战和冲突。亲朋好友们或许会瞪着大眼,不了解为何像如此天资聪颖的人,到头来竟滥用或漠视他们的才能、积极的进取心及事业,而落得一路下滑的地步。这一天出生的人原本是可以大展鸿图的,但最后往往变得默默无闻,最主要是因为潜藏的恐惧感以及一种对安定的强烈渴求。有鉴于此,他们必须培养自己的意志力及构筑未来蓝图的目标感,来推动自己往前迈进。长期间温无方向的探索必然只会造成挫折感,以及饱受压抑、如火山般的怒气,让他们随时都可能当着最挚爱的人面前爆发。不过,一旦这些11月11日出生的人真正地痛下决心后,他们也能够自行处理所有一时的失败和灰心气馁,而他们的火爆脾气也很少会再度发作。

幸运数字和守护星
11月11日出生的人会受到数字2(1+1=2)和月亮的影响。受数字2影响的人通常作为共事者及拱档比担任领导者来得合适。在月亮的影响下,他们丰富的想像力与温文儒雅的特质更形突出,同时冥王星和火星(分别为天蝎座的主宰行星及共同主宰行星)两者的结合亦增添了一种强势的力量。然而不变的是,这些性质相同的行星只会使得11月11日出生者所具有的火爆脾气与潜是的控制欲望有增无减。数字11则主导了朝物质发展的路线(就今天出生者来说,由于冥王星的影响而着重在性欲方面),以及显示出一种对各式各样的相似物可能产生的兴趣,如巧合性、成对物、对称图形、映像等等。

健康
11月11日出生的人相当注重物质生活的享受,并且常常过分沉迷于性欲之中。虽然他们在任何纵情享乐的时刻,都有可能觉察到自己不当的行为,但他们偶尔还是会太投入自己及家庭的娱乐玩闹之中。此外,因为他们很容易受到别人的影响而动摇,所以必须切记不要过度想念桥师或是某些最新的治疗方法与药物。可以获得充足活动量的运动是他们的最佳选择,譬如:有氧运动、跳舞、跑步和体操,不过属于竞赛性质的活动可能就得多加三思了。由于咖啡、酒和各种刺激物似乎是这一天出生者无法抗拒的诱惑,因此抑制对它们的渴望将是件极为重要的事。

建议
有时不妨暂时忘却自己的欲望。学习无条件地付出,但绝不做被人踢来踢去的玩物。尽量表现出自己的才华,以免徒留遗憾嗟叹。撷取你所需要的东西,但命中无时则不应求。

名 人
中国京剧名伶梅兰芳,创立梅派,名下传人无数。

莎拉伯恩哈特(Sarah Bernhardt)法国戏剧演员、导演,有"女神莎拉"的美誉,以优美的容貌、出色的演技和嗓音成为历史上著名的舞台剧演员,也被誉为当代最伟大的演员。

美国爵士乐先驱吉莱斯皮(Dizzie Gillespie),也是小号手、作曲家、乐队指挥,与萨克斯管演奏家帕克合作,开创一种名为"比波普"的音乐,一反摇摆乐的风格,寓和谐于不和谐之中,并采取多种节奏。

匈牙利作曲家李斯特(Franz Listzt),也是钢琴演奏巨匠,以技艺高超、风格华丽的钢琴演奏驰名,退休后成为重要的钢琴教师代表作为《但西丁交响曲》、《浮士德交响曲》、《匈牙利狂想》等。

俄裔美籍小担家史而德(Alexander Schneider),也是"布达佩斯四重奏乐团"成员、马可波罗音乐节管弦乐团指挥。

以色列总理内塔尼雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)。

塔罗牌

大秘仪塔罗牌的第22张是"愚者"STUPID ??? 。图案是一个人快活地站在悬崖边。有的解释是他十分愚蠢,STUPID AGAIN ??? 缺乏理性判断的能力;有的则指出他极端崇尚精神层面,不在乎现实。总括来说就是凭直觉行事、没有拒绝和抵抗的能力;同时,民代表了愚蠢、冲动和虚无。不过他们之中较成熟的,则会从生命的历练中学取经验,然后成为自己理想中的人。

静思语

魔幻和问卜带有潜藏的危险,而它们其实与真正的灵性无关。

优点
魅力、迷人、刺激。
I boring guy and not charismatic leh !!

缺点
分裂、不平衡、支配欲。eh ... ???

how bad is your temper according to your horoscope

Found on the net

ARIES MARCH 21 - APRIL 20

Nothing seems to ruffle you more than a lack of discipline, disloyalty
and decorum. But Arians are also known to go into a rage very easily when
challenged. Those of you who have been on the receiving end of the
Aries temper know that if not calmed down they can even get violent. But one
thing is certain if the opponent remains calm and does not react to
their outburst, Arians cool down very fast. They are also the first to
apologise, which makes them easier to forgive.


TAURUS APRIL 21 - MAY 20

You are generally quiet and have control over your emotions. It is
difficult to predict what will upset you, so when you do lose your
cool, people don't know how to react. Your temper is like that of a raging
bull, and anyone trying to pacify you will be the first one to get a verbal
bashing. You generally get upset when you are concerned or when people
accuse you of doing something wrong. You also hate being reminded
about mistakes you've made in the past. You also have the potential to be
terribly vindictive if rubbed the wrong way.

GEMINI MAY 21 - June 29

You are recognised by your cheerful disposition and your jovial nature
is easily susceptible to anger. In fact, you are the best person to have
around when there is an ugly scene at a party you can bring the warring
factions together quite diplomatically. But when you lose cool, you
yell and scream and will not listen to reason. You must have the last word
in a wordy duel. Your capacity to argue aggressively is matched only by
your seductive charm.

CANCER JUNE 21 - JULY 21

Considering how charming, caring and kind you are, you dislike
unpleasant scenes, much less creating one yourself. You have great tolerance and
rarely get provoked into losing your temper. If someone is
unreasonable or trying to create trouble, you are more likely to walk away quietly.
But that does not mean you do not have a temper. When angry, in your
effort to control your emotions, you tremble, your hands get sweaty and sometimes
you fumble for words. Tears roll down your eyes easily and the opponent is
touched by your innocence and will seek an apology immediately.


LEO JULY 22 - AUGUST 21

If anyone has total control over their emotions, it is you. But then , you can be described as stiff, cold and uncaring. You are known to lack spontaneity but you really don't care about opinions. You don't like to create scenes and will never accept invitations to a party where you suspect the presence of an unruly lot. But your very presence seems challenging to some and they take vicarious pleasure in your disquiet.
When angry you can use critical language. A dressingdown can humiliate your opponent, causing a strain between both of you forever.

VIRGO AUGUST 22 - SEPTEMBER 21

Most of you are gentle and have full control over your emotions but those of you given to temper tantrums can certainly get violent. When see things with rage, you yell and shout and tend to break things lying close at hand. You can even harm yourself by banging your hands on a glass top table
or wall. You should never get into any argument, for you are a sore loser. You feel that others are trying to persecute you and don't quite respect your opinions. When hurt, you can also hold grudges forever.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 22 - OCTOBER 22

Did someone say that you are the charmers of the zodiac? Well, it's true. Few have ever seen you ruffled or angry. You are very conscious of your image, and you believe that anger distorts your face and personality.
You also think you are above things like anger. But wait before you get into self-congratulatory mood. Your family or those very close to you know you better. You have an unmatched temper amongst all the zodiac signs, and what makes it worse is your capacity to justify it.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21

Of course you don't lose your cool. But your very demeanour (manner) projects hauhtiness (arrogance, pride), pride and grand disdain (disregard) for lesser mortals (human). Others are often found saying that anger sits on your nose and you are raring to give your piece mind to the first person who try to be funny with you. You are selective in the choice of your friends, and have a low tolerance for the superflous (extra) types.
Your tongue-lashing (attack) is generally in a soft hissing tone for when you scream, your voice tends to get shrill and loud and you do hate drawing attention to yourself! When upset, you are angrier with yourself for having shown weakness, for the last thing that Scorpio wants to show is being out of control.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 20

You are insensible and generally have no complete control over your emotions. You do get angry quickly and others marvel at your anger levels even when provoked. Actually, you get tongue-tied when angry and you
will remove your anger waiting for the other person to calm down. Then you
will reason with your opponent and convince the other person in a very
gentle manner that the whole thing was just his mistake. You're also likely
to totally sever ties with someone when you're upset with them.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 19

Few will believe that a hardcore practical and materialistic person
like you is capable of sensitivity and genuine emotions. You project a hard
exterior but are actually very sensitive, a trait you successfully hide
from others. You can see thing with anger but will not betray your
feelings. But then, there are times that even you cannot control your
temper. Under such circumstances you can shout and scream, more with
frustration at the situation than with anger at any particular person.
Your outbursts can shock others and can make them feel guilty too.


AQUARIUS JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18

You are noble and kind and dislike losing control over yur emotions.
It is very rare for you to get angry. You are also the pacifier in
situations that involve arguments. It is always your endeavour to be perfect and
socially correct in your behaviour and attitude, but if misunderstood
and slighted you can give in to an angry outburst. You will shout and
scream and then walk out from the scene. You cannot easily forget the
situation and will be bitter about it for a long time.


PISCES FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20

The only thing that can be said about you dreamers is that you appear
even more attractive when angry. You are very sensitive to others'
feelings, so you rarely hurt them. But when others tend to hurt you, then things
take a nasty turn. You will yell and use harsh words and feel inclined to
shake everything and everyone up. Your creative imagination is at its best
when angry, and you tend to get pretty dramatic. When upset, you refuse to
listen to reason and wish to be left alone. But once you calm down ,
you repent your tantrums and seek forgiveness. SO nobody can be upset with
you for too long.

Red Cliff 2 and hor lan

Jimmy called to eat dinner and watch Red Cliff 2.

Met Jimmy, Wilson and XX at PS.

We had dinner at Cathy basement the Indulge Restaurant. There served a mixed of fusion cruisine and won many culinary awards. The $13.80++ Lobster Pasta attracted us !!!

Gold ingot holder for toothpicks, salt and pepper.
Wilson's order beef and pasta.
XX's lobster pasta.
XX posing with the lobster.
Wilson and XX.
Jimmy's order beef and fried rice. Good for hungry people!!

My order, their signature dish Chicken is special herb and vinegar sauce. That black sauce looks like chocolate but its a very appetizing taste. All of them loved this dish.

After dinner went to watch Red Cliff. Got lousy seats 4th row from front extreme left. I had to slant my body to watch the show. The show is very nice with all the action-packed scenes.

After show they suggested to go somewhere chillout. I suggested and guided Jimmy to Dempsey. Reached there and surprisingly Dempsey is so quiet. There were hardly anybody. Then we decided to go Holland Village.Indeed we were Hor Lan !!! Lost our way need to consult the map. After much hor lan managed to reach Holland V and suprisingly also very quiet. We then had supper at Breko and back home again hor lan.

3137 Gathering and Dinner

It had been a long while since the guys in army had a gathering.

Nelson organized a dinner for us at Bugis.

I thought i couldn't make it, as might need to remigrate the servers in our office. Luckily rescheduled to Monday.

I reached Bugis and waited for nearly 1h before noticed some familiar faces. The guys were late trying to find a car park. So much inconvenience for paying such a big liability. As we were in a big group, its difficult to find an eating place without reservation.

Then we decided to eat at Fish & Co.

Giant seafood platter with pizzas.
Group photo from left: Eric, Wilson, Jimmy, Me, Benson, Nelson, Jasper, Chee KeongNot inside, Rui Ming

After dinner went to TCC beside to drink something.

Thanks Nelson for taking effort to organize this gathering. Hope we can have another soon !

Disappointing Buffet dinner at Hotel Rendezvous !!!

After much delays and nagging finally managed to use the voucher I bought to eat buffet.

Met Kai at Redhill Mrt and we had a selection of Fairmont, Carlton and Hotel Rendezvous. Initially wanted to try Fairmont, though the address was Bras Basah it was beside Raffles City. We passed by Carlton but saw nobody. In the end decided at Rendezvous.

There were some people eating there so we presumed it would be good but we were wrong !

Other than, oysters, mussels, salmon, and durian desserts there are not much to eat.
Dinner buffet $42/pax very expensive

Oysters, mussels, salmon, some white fish, baby octopus and kim chee.
Jelly fish in sweet and sour sauce.
Limited variety of sushi. Lousy standard, the rice got no vinegar smell and hard.

Desserts worth dying for !!!
Rich and creamy durian cake !!!
This small shot of Durian Pengat" smells and tastes better than the cake. No wonder its served in such small serving.

After dinner went to Plaza Sing to walk around and happened to see our polymate Leonard. He had changed alot since i last seen him. Seems like Australia is a very relaxed place.

Busy year end

For work

Had been alternating between office and schools. School as your customer is the worst. Pay you so little, extremely demanding, want everything, the best and the impossible !!!


Xmas eve

Had a wonderful xmas cum bbq at Kiat loon house

Xmas day

Relax at home

Boxing Day

Work while most of my colleagues on leave

New Year Eve


Never go out/ any countdowns. Such events are not my cup of tea, squeezing with people. I would prefer hang with group of close friends doing simple things. In the end also never watch countdown on TV. Played MGS4 bought earlier. A must buy for PS3 fans !!! Faster buy PS3 then we can play game together , play online is FREEEEE !!!

New Year Day

John, Boyin and I attended my ex-colleague Amin's wedding. Its my first time attending a malay wedding. Met John and Boyin at Tampines interchange before headed to his place.

We reached the place and there was a crowd. The pity was as we just came he left back his home. So the 3 of us sat at one corner having lunch and talking, gossiping and complaining about work. Lunch was Nasi Briyani, Mee siam and some desserts buffet style. After around 1h with Amin not in sight, we decided to leave and left our angpows with his mother.

Then we went to Century Sqaure to watch IP MAN !!! Only left with front second row seats, no choice. Damn its one of the best kung fu show after Huo Yuan Jia and Ong Bak !!! You see how fast Donnie Yen punches the Japanese General, lighting speed. The show is not all violence, the first part is very funny when Donnie Yen and Master Liao having a duel at home. His son cycled on his tricycle to tell his Dad to stop fighting else everything in the house would be broken. Everyone in the cinema laughed till their stomach hurts

After movie, bid the guys farewell as was heading for BBQ with Kai's friend at East Coast Park. Met Kai as he cycled there. We were the first to reached the BBQ site, where is the organizers? Soon Hong Jing, his gf, Zhao Hong, his gf, Zhi Qiang and another girl Xiao Feng came. It was a small scale and healthy BBQ. First time i ate such dry satay. Only the chicken wings are worth mentioning, however most of the wings are charred.

Most of the food are finished except for otahs. Then they decided to play a game, the loser would have to finish the otahs. We played zhong ji mi ma. There were 8 players with 12 big otahs. The game seemed to be predestined. Xiao Feng, Kai and Zhi Qiang throughout the game did not eat any otahs. Out of the 12 otahs, I ate 3. The otah was big, spicy and salty had difficulty to even finish 1.

That night could feel MSG attack, i felt so thirsty and kept drinking water. The taste still lingered till the next day.

2nd Jan Fri

After work was having my dinner when XX called me. He told me was with Jimmy and wanted to come out to watch movie. I say ok and met them at Plaza Sing's Cafe Cartel. As usual, talk cock, gossip and complaining. There was not much shows to watch as Ong Bak 2 not out. In the ended bought tickets forBedtim stories The show was hilarious with Adam Sandler being a cock !!! Can i have the cherry red ferrari for FREEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we called Kelvin and Garrad out for supper but they were busy. Then we headed to HK Cafe at Katong to have supper. Damn there was no customer an the service was damn slow !!! Reached home at 4++

3rd Jan Saturday


The next day felt so tired and woke up at 230pm. I was supposed to help Joyce settle her computer which I fixed for her. Kiat loon came to pick me up while headed to Joyce's office with Xin Hua and his mother. Joyce's office is located near Ubi and was rather big compared to my current office. Damn the new Kingston RAMS i bought were faulty couldn't believe it !!! In the end installed Vista for her sis and now running on 1GB of memory.

When with Kiat Loon and Joyce's worker to help with their project. We were supposed to fix the banner for CK Department store at Chinatown. Damn the police had closed the roads leading to Chinatown due to the lighting ceremony tonight bad news for us!!! We had to carry the banners and ladders across the crowd as the police had also blocked the access to overhead bridge. With the increasing crowd, work for us was more difficult luckily managed to settle it. Then we headed back to his home before going out with dinner.

They were deciding what to eat for dinner and mentioned about crabs. Then my itchy mouth mentioned to eat the crab been hoon my cousin brought me previously That taste of the heavenly soup can never be forgotten. Off we headed for dinner with Kiat Loon, Xin Hua, Joyce and her colleague Denny.

Surprisingly there was no crowd and managed to find a place. Joyce ordered:

Si Ji Dou
KL Hokkien Mee
Fried Chicken mid-joints
Some fried prawns VERY NICE
1 Crab Bee Hoon Soup add soup and Bee Hoon


This time the soup did not taste that heavenly and rich. It tasted more diluted apologizes to Joyce. After dinner went back home. Then Kiat Loon asked me wanted to meet Chong Kai who came back from Australia since Xmas. Arranged to meet at Siglap the HK Cafe. I asked Kiat Loon if I can drive his car , he agreed.

Another nerve-wrecking experience cos this car is much bigger than Avante but auto so not much worries. First time drove on expressway and hit my personal highest 80km/h, we came out bedok, PIE. Then gave up as I was unable to judge a 3-point turn need to hand-over to the lao jiao.

Reached the cafe and soon Chong Kai and Yong Xin reached. Chong Kai seemed to be doing well and would be going back Australia during March, wow such a long break ! Talk cock, gossip and complain till around 1++ then headed back home.

Thank you Joyce for the dinner !!!

4th Jan

Soccer at CCHS. Met Jeremy and gang around 11am and was informed that the school had changed the security guard and we were unable to enter to play ball. After much discussion they decided to play at Cage from 1-3pm , 2hs for $90 instead of $180. Then we headed to Kallang Mac for breakfast and talk about soccer. Around 1230 left for Cage. We had a total of 9 players so its 4 V 5. A real taste of skills, stamina and endurance. For those who played at Cage before you know how tiring it is, even worse with an unbalanced team.

Left the gang at 3pm and cycled home waiting for Jimmy and XX to come over my place to play PS3. Sadly XX swam too much last night and could not come. Jimmy came over played soccer had dinner together before leaving as he had to send his brother back to came.

Jimmy thank you for coming !!!

Dinner at Shoukudo @ Raffles City

The Saturday after Christmas meet Jimmy and Xiang Xin at Marina Square.

As usual walking around, but XX and I managed to get a shirt at very cheap deal.

Then they suggested dinner at Shoukudou @ Raffles City.

They told me its like Marche but Japanese style. The area is quite big and many people were queuing. They had gates to allowed only patrons to enter and leave. Before entering you are given a card for you to order your food.

Inside there are various stalls selling different food. So if you want any food, just pass the counter your card and you can collect your food after 10mins.

As it had been raining for days and the weather is cold, I decided to order the pork shabu shabu. OMG from the picture it looks nice, but when i tasted the soup it tastes like water !!! I wonder how they prepared the soup ?
Ordered my favourite baby octopus, it states $2.50 per bowl and I was hoping the chef would gave me more servings.
Jimmy ordered a pizza for us to try another disappointment, the pizza was tasteless !!!
Jimmy ordered pasta, OMG another tasteless dish !!!
XX's order rather interesting those are not noodles but sliced potatoes then fried. Don't taste good also.
The most flavourful or salty dish

Overall Comment
Ambience: Like food court 3/5
Pricing: Like food court 3/5
Quality: WORST JAPANESE OUTLET I EVER EATEN 2/5

Don't come here and waste money !!!
