Marina Square Outing

女校男生 by 林峯 & 謝天華 (Laughing Gor)
This is so funny! =)








Went out with Zen on Friday.... We went to sing KTV at Marina Square! =) $8 nett for 3 hours.... I think Kbox gonna close shop soon.. seems like their business has been affected a lot by the recession... plus there were not many new songs coming out from Taiwan / Hong Kong lately... plus their arrogant service has put off many from coming in to sing.... plus their fabulous pricing on weekends... fabulous as in.. $50 bucks per person, anyone?




Haha... anyway, we got a DEAL! LOL... $8 nett for a weekday afternoon... 3 hours of singing... with tidbits and yougurt drink each.... =) Nice time spent there.... and oso listen to zen's singing... haha... er... i tink i gotta listen to more songs... keep singing just a few songs.. lol... We got a photo souvenior too.... but you gotta pay $2 per photo ... KBOX so desperate to earn $2 nowadays.. lol... but the quality kinda sucks.... haha.... a bit blur leh! LOL..

We had lunch at my favourite Xiao Long Bao Restaurant before that.... =) and La Mian...





We walked around for a while before we head down to Swensen's for dinner... lol.... Had a $20 voucher... So each of us saved $10.... I ordered the Chicken Baked Rice and a Mango Yougurt Ice Cream to eat... Overall was good....





Went out alone in the last Sunday of January.. Watched "My Ex" at Toa Payoh EW Cinema... lol... Had a $2 voucher and wanted to use it.... lol... there were like 10 person in the cinema on this weekend.. lol... initially i tot i will be alone.. wich would be rather freaky... lol... wanted to watch on weekday.. but i dared not watch at ew cinema as there will be noone in their west mall outlet.. lol....








Overall, the movie had an obvious storyline... NEVER FLIRT... lol.... it showed you how this TV actor got himself into trouble with his ex, whom he dumped after the ex got pregnant... the ex wanted to commit suicide by getting herself knocked down in a lorry accident.. but the lorry ended up killing the gf that replaced the ex.... the gf is also another ex whom the tv actor dumped again....

The most scary scene was the pregnant ex den went to commit suicide in her own room.... kinda scary but a bit over.... the pregnant woman went to take a knife and poke it into her vagina.... pull the baby out and den slammed it on the glass partition... den the baby went crying and den "piak".... like some orange juice died...




Overall, its good for a weekday movie... not too much of a weekend movie getaway...

Went out with Kenneth and Shaun at Jurong Point for beef noodles ..... lol... we had a $5 voucher and wanted to use it.... Shaun was implemented with the new Late Taxes... lol.... as an avid latecomer.. he was imposed Late Taxes.. 1 minute late = 1% of the restaurant bill... lol... he ended up being late for 29 minutes.... and we requested that he paid 29% of the restaurant bill....

Met up with Weiqi, Roger and gf after tat for the match Albirex against Home United...

2 Men Fighting in the middle of a busy road in Malaysia

Wah liao... these 2 people fight until dun care about their lives liao.... what the... =X

Finally start my MC Project....

After one day of hesitation to do my MC project, I finally touched my MC assignment on Thursday... didnt do much though... but I managed to do somemore on Friday... its like less than 300 words as of now.... Haix.... Gotta try touching up at least 50% of it by Sunday.... =)

I didnt realise I have not blogged for over a week. Had been so slack... huh? LOL...

Probably the best way to motivate me is to look at this bus picture "DIRT!" .... LOL... Saw this cool ad 2 weeks ago and took it down.. i tink if i am lazy... look at it... YOU ARE DIRT!!!... eh no... i not dirt must continue doing project... lol...





Went out with Shaun and Kenneth last Thursday... We had beef noodles at Lai Lai, Jurong Point... I love the beef gravy soup and noodles! LOL... and it comes as a set at about $16 if i didnt remember wrongly..

















one noodle + one tofu + one milk tea (600ML)... quite expensive actually but i will visit them soon.. because they gave us a $5 voucher... and we intend to eat it next thursday! LOL...



















We then proceed to watch "Tooth Fairy". Tooth Fairy quite nice.... I give it 7 stars... its funny and you laugh through the movie. The idea of the ROCK being punished to become a tooth fairy is simply hilarious... fit fit guy wear wings behind and taking away children's tooth to get money from fairy god mother... quite funny lor...
RATINGS: 7/10



Went out with Zhenhui and Tsian Hwee on Saturday! We had dinner at Lerk Thai. Tsian say its Jerk Thai at first reading.. actually to be fair... the logo seems like Jerk Thai to me too at the first reading.... Wonder what is the meaning of Lerk...



haha... quite sad they didnt sell the circular otah fish cake wich i liked. cos sold out... haix.... had tom yum noodles and some pandan chicken... overall the food is ok... soso.. i give it 6 stars out of 10.




The price is one factor that brings the grading down... cos its quite expensive in my opinion... they count the pandan chicken by piece ($3 each) the lemongrass drink was unique...

We then proceed to watch "The Spy Next Door".. its actually one of the movies i wanted to watch most.. because it seems like its going down soon and i havent watched it.... expect it to be soso to 6.5 star show.. but it turned out to be a 8 star show....
RATINGS: 8/10






LOL... I liked the movie!!!! Enjoyed it! Jackie Chan is back with his action packed thriller.... and he displays stunts again! LOL... its unlike his previous Shinjuku Incident where he act like some big kungfu noob.. lol.. The movie is also funny and we laughed through... =) If you havent watched it, please do it this weekend before it goes down! =)


Had Mac the other day... and was pretty pissed off with the pricing... I liked Prosperity Burger very much actually... and used to patronise them like once in a forthnight to eat this burger.... i saw the price lately and was quite surprised it costs me a bomb.... didnt eat it until one fine day i couldnt resist the temptation to eat...



The prosperity burger meal was $9.85... The burger costed like $6 ala carte... and den u have to top up ur fries... and auntie upsize my green tea without telling me the price... only realised it when i sat down to eat.. burger quality same... except the price is now $9.85.. was $7.95 last year with an orange tea.... A 23% increase in price!!!... Sent it to stomp anyway... Hope Mac can lower down the price next year...

Recession over doesnt mean we are rich by over 20%....





Had lunch alone on Thursday at Bishamon Ramen Restaurant.... The $9.25 set meal lor... Gyoza+Ramen+Green Tea....




Went to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre today.... to eat my favourite Wanton Mee.. i tink its rather good... and its finally opened..... Hup Kee Wanton Mee ... #01-02... they close for about a month the other time... dunno why... i love their chilli, wanton and char siew... LOL.... This is the $4 version... I think the $3 version looks more appetizing to me... next time order $3 version..haha...

Liang Court KTV Outing

Went to Liang Court with Zen and Tsian on Sunday...

We wanted to try the KTV facilities in one of their newest outlets.... Anyways, these days we prefer going to Partyworld KTV rather than Kbox that acts like they are the only KTV in Singapore and always charges us extra costs in the bills. And oso Partyworld has a lot of toys that you can play with while singing... its come with massge chair somemore in a room... though we didnt use it...



Sang a lot of songs over the 4 hour period... and enjoyed 2 bubble teas each for the songs.... quite like their bubble tea... soothing for the throat as u sing! =)

But kinda sad.... we seem older these days... we are still singing older songs in the late 1990s to early 2000s....



Walked out of Liang Court after which, and we walked across Clarke Quay.... Reached Central... Oh my.... The shopping centre, not opened more than 2 years... is deserted already.... about 40% of the shops are not operating .... and its like a complete maze... walking around the shopping mall... not able to find an escalator or an exit out of the shopping mall.. juz like the ion... seriously... the design of the shopping mall sucks....


I wonder if Ion will survive 2 years down the road, especially when a food court stall in their basement is $10,000 a month and its a shopping centre tat i dread most because I feel trapped whenever I step in.... =X




Had Sakae Sushi with Weiqi and Roger after school.. we went to West Mall for the buffet... Youth Student Buffet.. (3-6pm) on weekdays with student card.... The bill came up to $17.50 per person after taxes... =) Pretty worth it...



They have a free side dish worth $5.59 and 1 red plate.... and 3 mochis included apart from the free flow of $2.29 sushi....




Probably we havent been to Sakae Sushi for a long time bah... tats y we managed to order more... Though i still prefer Suki Sushi overall....

Public Bus 138 gets hijacked in Singapore

Here's a new way to get a FREE Maxi Cab in Singapore. Hijack a public bus in Singapore.




A PRC couple together with a 90 year old granny, a female friend and a maid boarded a SBS bus without wheelchair accessibility at Mandai and was told by the bus captain that they were not allowed to bring the wheelchair up the bus due to safety reasons. However, they insisted on doing so and sat on the bus for 6 hours, refusing to leave!

The bus captain has no choice but to stop the bus along the road and after informing the SBS’s headquarters, transferred the other passengers alread aboard to another bus, but still the PRC family did not alight from the bus.

The police were alerted to the scene to settle the dispute to no avail. The five of them continued to cry, wail and scream on the bus that they want to go home.

They kept complaining to the policemen:

“We want to go home! We haven’t had lunch yet or gone to the loo! There are no buses now to go back, what should we do?”

When interviewed by Lianhe Wanbao, 48 year old Madam Lin who worked in the media industry said angrily:

“The bus did not put out any sign that forbid wheelchairs to be brought up and we did not commit any crime. So why was the bus stopped by the road and refused to fetch us home?”

It is not revealed if Madam Lin is a new citizen, PR or foreigner, but since the couple are together with a maid, it is likely that they are PRs or new citizens living here in Singapore.

Madam Lin eventually requested SBS to call a cab to send them home which it did by arranging a Maxi Cab for them free of charge which ended the 5 hour fiasco.

This is the second time within a week that PRCs found themselves mired in controversy due to their public behavior which does not quite fit into the usual social etiquette of Singaporeans.

Two days ago, Shin Min Daily published an article about an unruly PRC lady customer who walked off without paying her fare upon calling a cab and even lodged a police report against the taxi-driver who tried to ask her to pay up.

She subsequently made a formal complaint to the taxi company which terminated the services of the driver a few days later.

On 16 January 2010, we reported the story of a PRC woman staging a solo “protest” at the Ministry of Education Headquarters at Buona Vista for the last two days to demand that MOE transfer her child to a top primary school in Singapore.

Though MOE has already offered to place her child in another school in the vicinity she lives in, but she continues to insist that she be given a place in the school of her choice.

She was reported to be in the MOE building till 12 midnight last night and only left after the police threatened her with arrest if she continues to loiter in a government building.

According to the latest update from our source:

“The saga continues today too! Still hanging around with child in tow!!”

Due to the ruling party’s liberal immigration policies, foreigners now make up 36 per cent of Singapore’s population with the significant proportion coming from mainland China.

Singapore’s strongman Lee Kuan Yew said in a recent interview with The National Geographic magazine that it is a “good thing” for Singapore to welcome so many Chinese immigrants as they are more “hard-driving” and “hard-striving”.

For once, Lee’s “prediction” is accurate: they are indeed more “hard-driving” than Singaporeans as the above examples have shown.
