I want to go Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy to visit Lamborghini Nuova Automobili S.p.A.
Recently Starhub cable tv is showing the series "Mega Factories".
It had shown Ferrari and Porsche factories, but however after watching Lamborghini factory, Lamborghini is a brand that truly hand made sport cars.
Porsche had over 100++ stations with thousands of workers. Workers are responsible for fixing up the car at different station. The cars are moved on a conveyor belt to the next station. The episode on Ferrari i can't remember.
Lamborghini on the other hand had only 14 stations with less than 150 workers. Maybe due to having a smaller factory, work on another Lamborghini starts when one has ended production. The manufacturing of the engine and components are by machinery. But the mounting and installing of engine block, components are by hand. The staff interviewed takes pride and devote their soul when installing a Lamborghini.Each Lamborghini built is unique from another car and produced in limited quantities.
Valentino Balboni has the best job in the world !!!
From another cable show "Rides" on channel 72 Discovery turbo. This gentleman is the chief test driver for Lamborghini.
His job is to test drive each completed Lamborghinis before handing them over to customer.
More on Valentino Balboni http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentino_Balboni
To give tribute to the most faithful and hardworking test driver, Lamorghini produced the 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni. More info below.

Wendy's but no big deal
Last Saturday after my class, yes class on Saturday 9am -5pm, decided to try eating at Wendy's Restaurant to see whats so special.
Met Kai at Lau Pat Sat, then had dinner at Wendy's. The outlet was quite small compared to the other fast food restaurants with only 2 counters. Their specialty are beef burgers, but I don't take beef, so I ordered the ultimate grill chicken.
Tasted the burger, nothing special consisting of just grilled meat, lettuce and mayo sauce. Kai commented the beef was juicier compared to the rest.
So in my opinion if you are a beef lover give it a try, otherwise go Carl's Junior.
Coke is coke
Fries lose Macdonalds
Chicken meat rather dry but because using thigh meat taste still ok.
After dinner, we walked around Chinatown to get into the festive mood.

Childhood luxury taste that never changes
Last Wednesday brought mum and sis to eat at Fatty Weng near our place.
Used to remember only get to eat here if only my dad strikes 4d! So in those days, when Singapore wasn't flooded with so many eateries, this was the best in the category.
Its a pity that the restaurant at Singapore Badminton Hall had closed down, not sure the reason but nevertheless, the original coffeeshop is still operating.
Chili Crab Do not be mistaken this is only 1 crab!
Fried garlic frog legs
Sambal Kangkong
Spare ribs King
Sweet and sour pork the best i ever tasted, try to believe !
Quality : 4.5/5 (I cannot give full as there's no such thing as perfect.)
Service : 4/5
Ambience : 3/5
Price : 4.5/5
All for less than $100 where to find !

Finally after a month of agony waiting, the verdict is ...
Friday 18th Dec 09
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 !!!
