Bestest Lunch in SG!

When I woke up this morning, there are 3 email waiting at my mail box, two regarding to Mission X and one Blog comment.

Then I went on discussing some stuff with pastor, and later found out that I had this urge to go out for lunch. Where to? Since pastor ask me to drop by Christian Bookstore, and I did manage to find one at Simei, and so my plan for today's lunch is to drop by Tampines.

After all those business, I find my self at Tampines, going around from Tampines mall to Century Square, and back to Tampines 1. On the way I saw some places that interest me, and I also saw Starbucks. At the end of my round, guess what I found at Tampines 1?

Jeng Jeng Jeng... Carl's Jr!!

Knowing that CJ in SG has PORK, I walked in without hesitation!
And had myself order the most luxury meal at the moment; The Western Bacon ThickBurger®, top up to Beef Chili Cheese Fries.
*Click here to check the menu on Carl's JR web site.

It was a SUPER AWESOME burger, layered with Charbroiled 100% Angus Beef Patty, Three Strips of Bacon, Two Slices of Melted American Cheese, Crispy Onion Rings and Tangy BBQ Sauce on a Toasted Sesame Seed Bun, and my personal favorite self add on free Pickle.

The Fries is totally OWNED!


And you gonna have to love the thickness of the ThickBurger®.

I felt like I'd 3 person portion after finished that single meal. But nothings stop me from going to Starbucks, again!
Today's order would be, Caramel Mocha serve hot. Just have to like that place, Quiet, Soft Music, HOT Chick (Tampines famous for a lot of SIA air stewardess living there), and, I just love the Soft Atmosphere there, can do some serious thinking. =)

And today's bill is, SGD15.90 for CJ, and SGD6.30 for Starbucks. Again, dollar to dollar, this meal might cause me RM50++ back in Malaysia

Two interesting site to share.

As you know I am in SG and will be here until this Friday.

Loads of free time, due to the facts that I am too lazy to go out, plus I'd already done with my shopping list.

And because of all these free time, I actually browses a lot.. a lot! and also blog a lot.. a lot!

Come back to the main point:
Site #1: Twitter Twitpocalypse Status
Synopsis: Some of your favorite third-party Twitter services may not designed to handle Twitpocalypse, the sequence will suddenly rollover and restart from zero. At this point, they are very likely to malfunction or crash.

But Twitter is safe!

Check the site out to see the real time statistic of Twitter, you may never cease to be amazed.

Site #2: 15Malaysia
Synopsis: 15Malaysia is a short film project. It consists of 15 short films made by 15 Malaysian filmmakers. These films not only deal with socio-political issues in Malaysia, they also feature some of the best-known faces in the country, including actors, musicians and top political leaders. You may think of them as funky little films made by 15 Malaysian voices for the people of Malaysia.

Outing in SG. 22/09/09 (Continue)

*Continues from the previous post.
At around hour 1930, Ying Xi came pick me up at Pasir Ris, together in the car is Adda, and Friend (I know your name start with G, I just couldn't recall now >.< ).

Everyone, this is:

Ying xi
,
Adda
,
and Friend.


I find ourself heading toward Geylang, and I was soon told that our dinner is Frog Leg Porridge. At first they were worried, asking me whether I eat Frog or not? Well, as a reply, "I eat everything!", and also because I am from Ipoh!


As a person who love FOOD, my critics for the porridge would be... I like the Frog Leg, together with the sauce it is actually very nice on porridge, but, it just that the porridge is a bit rough, need to smoothen it.


After dinner, I find that we are heading straight for dessert. For once I must say, the 豆花(Tou Fu Fa) is very smooth, the sugar water is also ginger-ish, it's a side by side compared to the one in Malaysia. The 油条(You Cha Gui) is huge! That's why it can't fit in my 35mm lens. It is also very nice if to dip into the Soya Bean drink!

During the dessert, Ying Xi found out that the Starbucks in Malaysia is ridiculously expensive, dollar to dollar comparison. To avoid confusion, she work part time in Startbucks. And as we were finishing up at the dessert place, she realized that there is a Starbucks opposite this shop, which is at Wilkie Edge.

Without hesitations, we actually head to Starbucks straight after we finished.

The menu is somewhat different from in Malaysia, and I find my self ordering Hazelnut Latte, recommended by Ying Xi (Though both the girl said they don't like coffee), and not to forget, she has staff card, and I got 20% off because of that!

We had a very nice time chatting at Starbucks, topics start from 1 to 10. And with that, we conclude our night outing!

Fact #4: Just in a day, I actually had two cups of Starbucks, dollar to Dollar comparison, I can have 3 cups of it in SG a single day, but in comparison, only one cup in Malaysia

Work 2k in SG and work 2k in Malaysia, I'm starting to draw my future path.

Outing in SG. 22/09/09

It wasn't a good day to go for outing at the beginning, the rain started to pour at hour 1200, and it's a very heavy one. But after that, it turn out to be just a passed-by rain, which ended approximately at hour 1330, when I was about ready to go out. It turn out to be a fine day, and well spent!

First off, I head to City Hall by train, it took 12 station before reaching. Once I set my foot out of the train, I head toward Peninsula Plaza and Got my self Item #1. Then I head towards Bras Basah and found my self buying Item #2 & #3.

Further Explanation and Introduction on Items:
Item #1:
Before we welcome Item #1, we should give a farewell to my current Baby Sitter;
It's been nice to have you with my baby, you have been handling things around her very well, providing her security and every time making sure the temperature is tuned. You've done a great job!

And by that, let's welcome the new Baby Sitter for my baby;
Item #1: Tamrac Adventure 7 - Photo Backpack.
Cost: SGD115 Conversion: RM276
Fact #1: Try find me the same thing in Malaysia, see if the price lower or higher.

Item #2 & #3:
Item #2: D'Addario EXP15.
Cost: SGD15 Conversion: RM36
Fact #2: I can confirm that in Malaysia, this Item is selling at the price RM45.

Item #3: Planet Waves - The Circuit Breaker w/ Right-Angle Plug
Cost: SGD35 Conversion: RM84
Fact #3: A Classic Series of Planet Waves in Malaysia cost around this price too.

And after spending so much money, I decided to drop by Raffles City Mall Starbucks for a drink; and coming up, Fact #4. And after a cup of coffee, I headed home to rest before meeting up with Ying Xi, Adda and Friend.

This post is a bit too long, I shall continues the rest of it tomorrow morning, I mean afternoon.

My Tribute to 'Yoshito Usui'.

*Yoshito Usui, person on the right.
Yoshito Usui(臼井仪人), the creator of Crayon Shin-chan(クレヨンしんちゃん[Kureyon Shin-chan]). Went Hiking alone on Sept 11, reported missing by family members on the same evening, was found and confirmed dead on 20th of Sept.

The world has lost a great/hilarious cartoonist. I might not have all the Shin-chan collection, but for those that I had, I really enjoy all those joke from him.

Yoshito Usui may leave us, the readers, in tear and sadness, but his manga will live forever.

I have no regret in buying another 5 packs of Crocodile Chocolate Biscuit, Which Shin-chan always like to eat, and I'm glad that I got it before I heard the sad news.

Farewell, and peace be with you Yoshito Usui Sensei.

CANDY EMPIRE.

Today after church, my sister and brother-in-law decided to drop by VIVO CITY because we found out a competition about photo shooting.

SO we decided to go try it out, maybe I can caught something in my camera that can send for the competition. The theme for the shooting is: VivoVity: Make It Your Place.

But sadly I only had one shot due to the fact that, there is nothing inspiring, and, I don't feel good in delaying the time there because it is with my sister and her family.

Nevertheless, guess what I found?

CANDY EMPIRE
Introducing to you, MARS - Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Bar, and CADBURY - Pinic Twin Pack. The whole shop is fill with Candies, that some you might not even know of, but this is the two that caught my attention away.

Sorry for not taking photo of the shop like I might usually did. Now a days when I tried to take out my camera in public, I feel very shy, because people keep looking at me like I'm some kind of reporter. Even Rev. Susan Tang don't allow me to take photo (*Those who know the story, you can laugh now XP) during her sermon.

By the way, just got my SG number, you might not wanna save it down but here goes: +6583674287.

That's all for today! =)
