Finally after a month of agony waiting, the verdict is ...

After a month of waiting at 3pm the exam results are out. However I only managed to check the next day as I need to go to customer place to work. The next morning i login to UniSIM website and view my score.



Pass, I am impressed and satisfied with my efforts put in for my exam despite, busy work schedule and family. However the grades could be better. 1 more year to graduation

Saturday 19th Dec 09

I went to the electronics fair @ Suntec to see if there were any good bargains, however none attracted me. Then its off to AMK HUB to catch movie. 2 chinese movies "1645 Bodyguard & Assassins and 1940 Feng Yun 2



Bodyguard and assassins was nice with many HK actors and the replica scene of old Shanghai.

Mark my words Feng Yun 2 is the worst movie i ever seen. Wind and Cloud both fighting for the past 30mins. I yawned a couple of times and nearly fell asleep.




A small reward for myself. Bought this game as the rating was high and animations were good.

Boy ! this is the best game I ever played. A combination of James Bond + Tomb Raider. Hero vs helicopter, tanks ... just buy and play no regrets !!!

Horoscope is so damn accurate, to be errie !!!

Your Daily Horoscope: December 15, 2009
Scorpio Oct. 23 - Nov 21 (Wrong Sign?)
Guard against becoming entangled in the lives of others today, Scorpio. It appears that there are things going on around you that are getting more complicated by the moment, and others want you involved. Even if conversation with another about their problems seems innocent and simple enough, things will get complicated for you almost as soon as you get involved. Today you need to be really careful about money matters. It is good to find something special, but social behavior will empty your pockets if you're not watching them. Advice from someone in management will be helpful to you.

Worse day ever

I cannot sleep well

I feel so sick and confused

Somebody please guide me

People now had lost their sense of basic courtesy and outright rude

Joke poly gathering yet only 1 turned up

Saturday met with Kai at Kallang and went Queensway to get my running shoes and bag, then went down HSA as I had an appointment to donate blood.
Reached HSA and surprised to see so many donors , think I will donate another time and walked to Chinatown as Kai wanted to get his facial wash.

We then headed to SLS to look around, checking out the prices as Kai is still building his rig. The ati 5870 graphics card had been snapped up by gamers on the market, due to its performance and price. I don think a $600++ graphics card is cheap. We inquired from many shops and this card was sold out.

Finally in one of the shop, we saw a guy snapped 2 cards off the counter. The shop allowed credit card payment with no charge too poisonous for Kai. Lastly we went to another shop and was quoted $30 lesser on cash terms. Off to the nearest ATM machine to withdraw money.

630pm

We were waiting for the rest of the guys at Bugis. Soon Leonard came , then we called Mr S and was informed not coming. Leonard called Mr PL and did not answer. Mr PL then smsed busy would call later. We had dinner at MOF and later went to Tornado @ Iluma to play lan game. On the way to Tornado, Mr PL called and say his car broke down and left his handphone inside the car. He only managed to contact us when the technician returned his phone, how irony !!! The systems at Tornado are not bad with headphones, make playing game very KPKB LOL ! We played L4D2 and had many hilarious moments.

On such was while escaping to safehouse, Leonard fell down and got lost. Kai and a public gamer were outside the safehouse. Being band of brothers, i braved zombies and went to rescued and escorted him back to safehouse. I not sure how did all the 3 of them got into the safehouse without letting me and having to be surrounded by zombies. I tried to open the door, but don't know which idiot closed the doors. The sight was damn hilarious. Our game lasted 2hs and left for home around 11pm.

I reached home and check my email and saw message from facebook. I login facebook and saw message by Mr PL

Long weekends

27th Nov, Friday

Since its holiday, off to eat breakfast outside. Think the previous night Channel U was showing Singaporean cuisines sold overseas like Beijing, London, US, Japan, Mumbai, Australia ...

The theme for that week was "Hainanese Chicken Rice". The host Mark Lee had a shock with the way the Australian chef prepared his fusion chicken rice. The restaurant which they showed in Beijing and Mumbai, I did tried there but not chicken rice.

My mum wanted to eat porridge and the stall at Maxwell is her favourite this is good as i can fulfil my chicken rice addiction.

We reached Maxwell around 11pm no chance to eat the porridge. The queue has already reached till the opposite end. Then I queued for 15mins for the chicken rice. In the queue was tourists from Hong Kong, Caucasians and Japanese, think this stall world-renowed.

While queueing i saw a familiar face, Makansutra's Host Seetoh. Apparently he was doing an interview with a few Caucasians.

28th Nov, Saturday

Second trip to JB this month, but this time not for groceries. Kai need to buy Windows 7 as though it was made in Singapore, Malaysia is selling much cheaper how contradicting.

Met up with Kai at Kallang MRT then went Queen Street to take bus in. Surprisingly the traffic was smooth all the way to JB. Unlike when I went in with Jimmy and co jammed like f**K !

The new JB Kastam is very well designed, like an airport terminal. The only thing I don't like is the complex is designed like a maze unlike the old complex where you just walk straight

Soon reached the familiar sight City Square and we went to Jap Restaurant Kinarashi to have lunch. After lunch we headed to Landmark, their local Sim Lim Square to look for the Windows 7. Due to holidays, the complex is like a ghost town with only a few shops were open. Luckily we managed to find the intended store and bought the Windows 7.

Then we head back to City Square to walk around and kpkb. Soon we had early dinner at the back alley of the shophouses. One side is selling Muslim their end is selling Chinese food. Eating there brings a very nostalgic atmosphere. Think you can no longer find such eating places in SG.

After dinner headed back SG then walked around Bugis before going home.

Long post

19th Nov Thursday

After 4mths of evening lessons every thursdays, it boils down till today. My last exams for ICT203 and ICT205 subjects on Object-Oriented Design. Kai had warned me prior that this module is not easy.

Only when I went to my exam hall that i understood what he said. When i am doing my paper the questions set had no relevance to my tutorials, assignment and past years paper which I revised.

THE PAPERS WERE SO DAMN DIFFICULT !!!
Please let me pass.

------------------------------

20th Nov Friday

It had been a long time since i brought my mother and sister out to eat. Today brought them to eat dim sum at a old and famous establishment in Singapore. Red Star Restaurant @ Chin Swee Road

The decor still looks the same with the nostalgic feel. To order your food, staff with different trolleys would move from table to table informing customers what they had inside the trolley. Then the staff would remove from their trolley and indicate on your table list. Whereby this list would be used to make your final payment.

I assumed it was buffet and ordered alot of food. Overall the quality and standard of food is good. My favourite dish is a cold dish consisting of seasoned jelly fish with chilled pork. The texture of the pork is fantastic !!!

After brunch we walked around chinatown before heading home.

-------------------------------

21st Nov Saturday JB TIME !!!

I met with Xiang Xin around 3pm at his house. Then we went the nearby Mac as he had not have his lunch. Soon Jimmy came and fetch us and gf before heading to Woodlands.

Yesterday's traffic jam was terrible with the weekend crowd and rain. We only managed to reached Jusco @ 630pm and the first thing to do is go toilet. Then we went to buy tickets for Planet 51. I told them the trailer was funny and we bought the 11pm show.

Next it time for our , opps mine objective LOL.
Shopping groceries. I bought alot of stuff most of which are tidbits and snacks. After loading the groceries in his car, we were off to have dinner at the Sha Bu Sha Bu restaurant. This is the second time I visited and third time for Jimmy and Jasmine.

The staff intitally got us a very cosy place, which Xiang xin mentioned like KTV. Though it was a crescent shaped sofa, it still felt squeezy. Then we requested another place near the window where its more comfortable. I told them sit here is like we were animals in the zoo. Shoppers were walking past the window and looking at us eating.

A pity they do not had the Sukiyaki broth which they mentioned not popular with the customers. That broth is very sweet. As usual we would order the softshell crab sushi and another sushi which I could not remember. However the standard seems to has dropped. Soon our Sha Bu Sha Bu came with 3 bowls of rice. We ordered the same Seafood and Meat combinations. Only difference is that both Xiang Xin and mine had beef replaced.

We finished our dinner close to 11pm and left to catch our show. We were still not the last customers. The show in my opinion not too bad as I loved to watch animations and I needed a good laugh after under stress for so long. Then we headed home.

Thank you guys for the dinner treat !!!

Jimmy so when go in again LOL
