Missing Module

You are not going to believe what I’ve went through today. I receive an email from my school General Office, telling me that I’m short of 1 module to complete my degree. In all, you are not going to graduate without this missing module.

1 module shouldn’t be much of a problem. But the truth is: I have missed a month long of class, there are limited classes to attend and I have the heavy load FYP. Haiz…

I’m glad that I am accepted by one of my professor. It’s really a lending hand to the helpless me.

[P/S: I am going to be in same class as Kader again. Fun babe!]

Glico Festive Gift Packs

In the recent few Chinese New Years,  Glico launches Pocky Chocolate and Strawberry in a festive gift pack. This year, they offer you with more choices.

You can now buy the all-time favourites, Collon and Pretz, in a festive pack too.

The festive packs tell an old Chinese folk tales, the Nian monster, in a series.

Collon festive pack is the first episode: Nian monster invading the village, forcing the villagers to run for their life with their valuables. Pretz festive pack is the second episode: Villagers realised that Nian monster is afraid of loud noises. So they raise the Pretz sticks to beat the drums for noise, chasing Nian away. Pocky festive pack is the finale: Celebrating the coming peaceful year.

This year’s Chinese New Year coincides with the western Valentine Day. Another reason to give a gift? Probably.

Glico gives you Almond Crush and Almond Crush Bitter to sweeten up your family, friends or love ones’ day. Calories and weight control? Maybe another day…

But what I really want to say: ALL THESE ARE DESIGNED BY ME. Hahaha~ Support huh. Check out First Food Pte Ltd for more products and updates.

So, I Didn’t Know

Browsing the interior design, always admiring the clean, simple and large amount of space given. Seriously, I don’t know it is a Scandinavian style that I fall in love with.

“Scandinavian style combines the neutral colors of the Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish landscape. The long winters and lack of natural light in Scandinavia created a need for sleek and airy interiors that made the most of the available sunlight…”

Found a mind blowing site, The Cool Hunter. Encompasses strong visuals and colors. Why am I just studying graphics? This site is a really cool shit!

Straits Chinese Nonya Restaurant

A random meet up with my girlfriends at this Nonya restaurant, Straits Chinese Nonya Restaurant.

It is an à la carte buffet, with lunch starting from 11 am to 3pm and dinner from 6pm to 10pm. The waitress will pass you a slip of paper with the dishes names in all text to tick on. You probably need some patience to go through the list because most of the dishes name are in Malay. Get help if you can’t figure out what they are.

We came a little late, because I overslept, so we only call for 1 round of food. Portion i guess is determine by the number of people seated in the table. Blurp~~~

Will I come back? Yes. I think this place is not crowded, food is generally quite good and worthy for the amount of meats and curry we have. It is ideal for big eaters too. For people who still want to keep the dishes oriental yet adding spices in the cooking, you should try Nonya food.

Most of the food have been tampered.Meatball soup.We didn’t know we ordered another salted vegetable soup because menu has no picture.Sambal Prawns.Otah. Ate half of them liao.Eggs with long beans and chinchalok.Chicken curry.Satay babi… Yee~ Only Bong and Qin ate.Salad.Curry zhab cai.Ngo hiongs. The left over.Durian puree. Ok only.Refreshing chin chow.Chendol chendol.

The Everlasting New Year Resolution

I just realise what I really wish for (subconsciously) in every New Year is to stay beautiful, youth, slim and slender always. I am indeed shallow.

This is especially true after seeing some good old friends not maintaining their look well after their few years of slavery at work. Not an easy task? Probably…

But this is like our prime age. I don’t want to look back at my pictures, see myself (at my prime age) in a haggard stage.

So, let our achievements in career do some justice. Be it botox, laser, slimming center or personal effort: I want my beauty!

2010 New Year

Spent our first day in 2010 at Alvin and Jie Ling’s house. I kinda like their house, very near to Choa Chu Kang MRT and it is big!

Steamboat time! The hosts do all the choppings and cuttings, chasing me and the guests out of their kitchen.

The rest of the time, we are glued to their Starhub TV channels, Iron Man, Power Sunday and 麻辣天后宫. Talala~

IMG_3507Going to start.IMG_3508SoupIMG_3527Funny eh?IMG_3520Girls in the house. We all have some kind of red, i realise.IMG_3525Ah beis in the jail.

My new year resolution is to 减肥.

Sapporo Ramen Bishamon

This is quite sometime ago. Thus, I have forgotten most of my thoughts then.

Anyway, we tried  Sapporo Ramen Bishamon at Raffles City. I was disgusted with the ramen presentation when it is first served to me. Can’t see the garnishes that make up my ramen. It just look crap and messy before I even started! There is a rim of bubbles form around my bowl. Did they shake my soup before pouring in? Errr…

I don’t remember the noodle is exceptionally nice. The egg is not impressive also. Bamboo shoot got one smell… Can forget about going there again.

The Handburger

Finally tried The Handburger at Raffles City. I love their typography and their window display, paper crafts!

The store works more like a restaurant, waiter takes your order, bet it’s because of the small walking space. On average, each burger set costs $12 onwards. Each set comes with either fries or tomato stuffed with coleslaw to choose from. Unfortunately, the set does not comes with drinks. They do serve plain water.

I ordered Chicken Caesar Burger ($12.80), thick chicken breast topped with sauteed mushrooms and cheese. Lester ordered The Work Burger ($16.80), beef burger with sauteed mushrooms, 3 onion rings, eggs and cheese. The burgers are served on this wooden serving tray, with die-cut for cutlery, plate and your sides.I love their system of organisation.

I realise they don’t use the same bread buns and greens for each burgers too. Burgers are generally big, patties are juicy. I struggled with eating big burger even with fork and knife, but I overheard another diner requesting his burger to be cut into half. I kinda like their BBQ sauce, not too saltish. We also order some chicken strip sides. It is lightly flavored, not too saltish. Ain’t that bad.

Calefare-ing

I have been calefare-ing for the past 2 days in my friend’s final year project.

Have to wake up damn early to film site for preparation. Wear the same clothes for 2 days. Yeww~

What I really really want to show is the majestic-ness of the film site, an ultra big villa. But the owner imposes ‘No Photography’ rules, I only have photos with my friends in actions.

The house is 3 storeys high, with private lift, a swimming pool, games or gym room, open concept kitchen and blah blah blah. Imagine U-shape 3 blocks buildings: the main house, the swimming pool area in between and another house. The main house is already very big on itself. That ‘another house’ is a smaller domain, but big enough to duplicate another living room, kitchen and rooms in it. There is also a separate shaded glass house in the garden itself. I love the sunbed at the highest level, I believe it will overlook the greens.

We can’t access other levels in the house. So, we’ve been stationing in the gym room for the entire 2 days. There are gym equipments, 2 pool tables, sofas and a little bar counter with sink. That room is about the size of a 3 to 4 rooms flat. Outside the gym room is the swimming pool.

The owner has 2 Ferrari sports cars… This is how close I can get to Ferrari.
