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

Best Crab Beehoon Soup !!!
Thursday, Eve of Good Friday
Champion the sports shop is having a warehouse sale. Their office is located near our office. So during lunch we went to take alook for bargains. The basement carpark had been converter to a warehouse displaying the items for sale. On sale we shoes, shorts, jerseys, socks, soccer ball , golf clubs ...
In the end got this Adidas tee which suits as a cycling jersey, but its labeled for tennis. It costs only $25 after sharing another purchase with my colleague, 2 for $50.
Friday, Good Friday.
Went with my mom to have breakfast and didn't realised the gathering was at 1pm. I presumed the gathering was at night, and had to rush home and change before meeting them at Marina Square.
Reached Marina Square and saw some familiar faces and unfamiliar faces. I was the only 1 from my class, but always hang out with them together. Most of them are still pursuing full-time studies. Good to see everyone is doing fine.
Sunday,
Managed to find time to pray my father at Brighthill Temple. Surprisingly there was not much crowd in the noon, due to the early rain. Then we decided to go my grandma house to look at my uncle's puppy.
Meimei, 4 month old female shih tzu looking fierce, but actually very silly.
Do not mistaken it as a floor rug and step on her.
Reached my grandma house nobody was in, but saw the puppy greeting. The dog is so well-behaved and didn't barked at us, my uncle and grandma were in their room. The puppy is a 4month old shih tzu named MeiMei (chinese for pretty). It looks intelligently, cuddly yet silly. I like to cover his eyes with his fur, and look more like siao gao (crazy dog). We had alot of fun playing with Meimei and had to leave for dinner.
As the next day I was flying to Mumbai decided to give my family a good meal. Since last year I had not given them a treat yet. After Kiat Loon's strong recommendations, we being crab fanatics headed to Nomin Seafood to try the heavenly crab bee hoon soup. Previously i brought kiat loon and his sister to another outlet near Simei ITE. After trying many stalls, they recommended me to Nomin at Kovan which is definitely better.
Reached Nomin Seafood, though it was dinner time, there were not much crowd. Guess the economy is really bad. Placed the order and the lady boss asked me to take 2 crabs for the soup and give me a good price. I said ok!
Numerous accolades on the wall.
First order, mum was craving for coconut, so ordered 3 young coconut. The flesh is so hard to scoop and my hands ached.
Large tray of bee hoon, veggies and pork lard. Bee hoon and crab stock is free flow !!! Other places charge you for additional.
Before adding this shot of Martel liquor, the soup already tasted heavenly !!!
Dish of frog legs, not very nice.
The star, claypot with 2 crabs HEAVENLY TASTE MUST TRY !!!
Dish of butter prawns not nice
GPGT Martell Crab Bee Hoon Soup.
The damage. The 2 crabs are special price !!! Else it would costs minimum
$3.20 per 100gm
Assuming 2 crabs at 2kg = $64.
I strongly recommend this place for cheap, delicious and good service.

Bartley Secondary gathering 9 years later
Good Friday lunch at Marina Square's MOF.
Stomach wasn't feeling well so had desert. Macha ice-cream, azuki red beans with muah chee. Yummy.
As everyone had appointment after lunch most of them left. I walked around Suntec. Managed to find a money-changer with good rates to exchange to India Rupees for my trip the following Monday. Then went Carrefour to see what things to buy. Got my favourite sushi and some honey glazed pork ribs.

4th April Saturday Ex-NOC steamboat gathering
Friday sms and invited me to join for dinner with the rest of the ex-colleagues, though it was alittle impromptu, I agreed as I was free.
Saturday meet the guys at the steamboat above AMK this fashion. Already present was John and Rovin. Later David and Weng Fai came. Weng Fai staying the nearest was the last to come. It's good to see everyone looking well.
- Rovin charmisatic looking and successful
- David degree graduate and converted to perm staff
- Weng Fai looking on healthier
- John kinda of very stressed as compared to I last seen him on new year.
We chat alot over dinner, reminiscing the old times.
As the dinner is cheap weekends $15 + free flow drinks, I cannot complain much, but too few variety. However this place still attracts a crowd.
After dinner, David had to buy dinner for his GF so he went back home.
We finally decided to go play LAN game Left 4 Dead (L4D), and headed to Katong on Rovin's Swift Sport. His car is a little beast, guess he got zhng engine but nv reveal LOL. Well he got carbon fiber hood and spoiler, told us the next upgrade would be rims. The car is very small and the rear is tight compared to Hyundai Coupe i sat in.
Soon we reached Katong and parked at Katong SC. Then we headed to HIGH to play game. The placed had changed quite a bit since I last visited, no more free viewing of soccer. They now had a DIY membership application system. As Weng Fai and my member had expired, had to renew it for $10, but comes with a drink worth $4 of our choice and gaming up to $4. We wanted to play L4D and was informed by the staff the L4D server is having problem and may not be able to play.
We found our seats and try login. Indeed there were problems with the game even via LAN. Finally after much troubleshooting and pure luck, we are able to play L4D together.We left the place ard 2++ after playing L4D for more than 4hs sick !!! Then Rovin sent us back and I was first to reach home.
Thank you Rovin for organizing this dinner for us to meetup and thank you for the ride home !!!
