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.

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.
