18/11/09 - Ocean Park / Symphony of Lights / Avenue of Stars

We went to watch Symphony of Lights too.. but was kinda disappointed as it wasnt magnificent enuff.... the lightings were much better at normal time rather den during the show when everything was flickering at different intervals...

19/11/09 - Langham Place / Convention Centre / Causeway Bay

The final full day liao... Ate breakfast at the tea house next to our hotel... This breakfast okay only... guess i didn’t really like soup base noodles.. but nonetheless for HK25 ($4.50) its a hell lot of food... with free coffee.. LOL..

Headed for Langham Place at Mongkok... It was the place where one of the Hong Kong dramas was filmed ... remember the escalators and the information counter the 2 actors usually meet? LOL... Nothing much leh the shopping centre.. expected a lot more... its like a 14 floors shopping centre... but not many shops on one floor...

We had mango dessert there...mango puree i tink... damn nice... LOL... and yam egg pudding.. quite nice oso..
Of course, my main purpose is to get hold of the 80M bus models.. had been wanting to add in some bus models to my current collection since my last visit to Hong Kong. Mission accomplished. LOL... I swiped over HK12,000 ($2200) there.... tink i bought 30 over 1/76 models and a few mini QQ buses... have them delivered by air .... should be here earliest tml or next week...

Think i stood at the shop for around 3 hours... really paiseh tsianhwee for wasting his time there... really sorry... cos the staff was busy looking for the buses i point to her... den she look up and down for boxes and the buses... and den we had to come back later as they calculate the delivery costs....

We had lunch later... quite ordinary fare... average to below average... Den we headed down to Convention Centre at Hong Kong Island.... Had a nice view of Kowloon Island... lol... from Hong Kong Island.... quite a nice timing... it was 540pm.. we snap some shots of the afternoon view... and by 545pm the sky was getting dark...we took night view...after the police raise down their flags at 6pm at the centre.... we then headed down to Causeway Bay to see what human traffic is like... lol... we took tram there... haha... reached liao.. the SOGO junction is as usual damn crowded... with loads of people walking in high speed.. lol... as you can see the pictures.. as if a car just passed by.... lol... the traffic was closed for humans to walk... lol... we passed by a lonely street and saw people queuing up to buy “la chang fan”.... so we decided to sit down and order and taste... wah... the smell really nice... food oso... “shi quan shi mei” lor.... den we oso ordered some fisheggs (fishballs in Singapore) and siewmai.... eh... their siew mai not as nice as the ones in Singapore leh.. same taste as the one we had in the hotel... a little bit small.. full of flour.. and then dipped with soya sauce de... -_-“

We then took a tram to see Hong Kong Island once more before we head back to Kowloon.... It was their TVB station’s 42th anniversary show tat night but too bad the show ended 15 minutes after we reached our hotel.

Can look at their 42th anniversary show here though. Just found it on tudou.com

Oh ya... we had dessert at Hui Lau Shan (Xu Liu Shan) .. Their desserts are darn nice.. Go Hong Kong never eat their desserts = Never go Hong Kong.. even their guided tours bring you to one of their outlets when you visit Hong Kong. Its quite nice.. and there is a variety to choose from... I tink mine was with gui ling gao ... and their mango.. NICE DAO... lol...and i ordered a mango tang yuan oso.. lol...












From my observation in Tokyo and Hong Kong, people of both places seem to have better customer service, treating customers better compared to Singapore. People are also generally more polite, even in Hong Kong. Singapore kinda stinks now. Everywhere you go people are quite rude to each other. Their bus and train services come faster than those in Singapore. Even for these two busy and crowded cities, their transport services seem better than those in Singapore. We do not have to wait as long as that you can get in Singapore.

20/11/09 - Hong Kong Airport

The next morning.. wah... like beri “ke xi”.. never eat dim sum.. GO HONG KONG MUST EAT RITE? So we found a restaurant and went in to eat... lol.. ordered a table of dim sum.... porridge and all... couldn’t finish the food.. lol.... but the food was nice... crispy and all for its bbq pastries and all... we each ordered a staple food (for me porridge, tsian noodles) .. for breakfast cum lunch.... lol... HK135.50 for 2 persons ($25).. cheap rite.. somemore the restaurant look quite class de... lol.... many local elderly also frequent the place.. i guess its pretty Hong Kong elderly style there... as they love to drink tea eat some dim sum and talk thru the morning... lol...

Headed for the airport....Ate Hui Lau Shan at the airport again... cleared our coins and small notes.... for dessert... cos we had an early lunch... had a nice dinner in flight, tink it was chicken rice again... but nicer... i dunno why.... lol.. more oriental... the Japanese chicken rice i had earlier in the Tokyo-Hong Kong route was kinda salty it ink...

Reached Singapore liao.... The $529 air ticket to Hong Kong/ Tokyo was a nice deal.... =)

Enjoyed my trip.... Although wad horrified us in Singapore was the warm and humid weather.. OMG... we need to adjust... Just finished adjusting to the hot temperature today... I know Singapore is cold these few days... but then.. to me its still 10 C more than wad i experienced back in Hong Kong/ Tokyo.

Back in Singapore

YES! Returned to Singapore on Friday night.

Still adjusting to the weather. Heard that Singapore has been cold recently, huh? LOL... Raining and raining. Thank god its cool! If not I would have died of heat here in Singapore.

Still adjusting to the hot weather here in Singapore. Singapore is no matter what hot and humid to me, as I am still adjusting from the 10C weather I had been in for 2 weeks. Guess I should feel normal by tomorrow or day after. LOL...

Week of Studying

Have been studying for the past week, in preparation for my exams. (Or rather, slacking quite a lot and doing nothing efficient? LOL...)

Anyways, had my 1st paper today. It was a DISASTER. My 20 mark question out of 50 I went out of context. This is SERIOUSLY SHIT. But i checked, i might get some marks to get me out of FAIL. I guess I will pass marginally for the paper bah.

Hope I can do well for the other papers. Aiming a good grade for Distributions Channels, DI (dis) to HD (high dis)(Must shuang one time, lets give it a try). For EG, I hope to get a CR (credit). For Human Resource Management, which may sound poly stuff, i desire for a CR, but i should most probably pray for a PAP (pass).

MOST IMPORTANT AIM: PASS ALL AT THE MINIMAL. =)




Anyway, had lunch with family last Saturday. Ate at Lai Lai Beef Noodle Restaurant at Jurong Point. Always wanted to try their beef noodles. I like beef but I dont like bloody red beef. Theirs was ok. Quite cooked. The soup was GOOD! Really enjoyed it. The noodles was nice too!

RATINGS: 8/10






Then comes the side dish for the set. Intestines. OMG! I tot it will be like those kway chap kind.. end up its only steamed type.. and they didnt remove the fats from the intestines. It was horrible. Seriously they shouldnt serve this dish to spoil your appetite. Only had 2/5 of the dish.

RATINGS: 2/10






Then comes the drinks.... mine was included in the set.. pearl milk tea.. less sugary... more tea taste.... lesser milk... might not suit all... but i find it better den those sweetened milk tea from sweetalk.

RATINGS: 7/10



The other drinks are my parents' de.... I think its ok for the kiwi... (i didnt really like kiwi juice ... would prefer strawberry) didnt try the strawberry....

RATINGS: 6/10



The egg pudding with red bean was a PLUS PLUS... nice...! =)

RATINGS: 7/10


Had a durian donut at night from Donut Empire at Causeway Point together with my favourite Mushroom Swiss Burger for dinner. The durian donut is nice... but too expensive to savour the $2.50 taste. Guess normal donuts would be good enough.

RATINGS: 6/10

Jesmen Birthday

Jesmen's birthday is coming! Went for early celebrations, thanks to me! Really paiseh... have to make it up for me.... Anyway, had crystal jade la mian xiao long bao at taka.... havent had good impressions of crystal jade after 3 unhappy dining experiences at Changi Airport (disgusting food) , Woodlands (30 cent charge for water), Jurong Point (substandard food). Thankfully, its still CRYSTAL JADE at this outlet. The standard hasnt drop and it was quite good.










I even ordered an extra xiao long bao to eat.... anyway, after the meal we went to take neoprints at cineleisure.. its been a while since i last took neoprints le... wow... it costs $11 now to take neoprints.... i remember it used to be like $10 max, and you can even find some at $8?

Also took some crazy photo shots as usual.... Oh no... bus also have... and regarding the 1st photo.. its actually private property... we were quite noisy outside and then the auntie say "can lower down your volume" .. lol... the picture was taken at devonshire road... just a road across youth park..






Kinda rush the outing. They went clubbing after wich i guess, but i have to go home... if not no energy to study for my exams the next day on sunday! -_-" .... Really paiseh... hope jesmen enjoys the day bah....

Food Outings across 2 weeks

Last week, went out with Shaun for lunch at Mayim at West Mall... Liked the food to a certain extent.... ordered some dim sum ... "lok mai kai" "chee cheong fun" and the "Ok-only" xiaolongbao....




and my favourite soup...overall enjoyed the meal.. and especially nice to go out with shaun.. lol.. cos i always bully him de..haha... bad junyang hur... LOL...


































































Watched Haeundae after wich with Shaun at West Mall... Movie quite nice... quite funny from the start.. surprisingly huh? Its kinda korean humour...



Den the end of the story was quite scary... watching how people die... but overall the movie was quite nice and there's a climax there.... =)


RATINGS: 7/10







My family went out for lunch on Saturday, dine at our family favourite restaurant, Swensen's... as usual i will order the same sticky chewy chocolate ice cream... and wads different today is i ordered a new item from their new menu... wich is the curry (soft-shell) crab pasta....although not a seafood lover... i do like soft shell crab.. (but must drink a lot of water if not i feel choked)... taste wise OK only.... prefer the usual chicken baked rice best... =)

RATINGS: 6/10






Last but not least, this was the claypot rice I had with my parents last last Sunday.... I love claypot rice... i love the claypot rice from this stall... cos they make it only when you arrived.... unlike those fake stalls that only heat it up for you... ITS REEELLLLL.... and i love "la chang".... and the nice smell of the rice from the claypot...they make it when u order!!! NO WONDER I KEEP ON "CLAYPOT" (For "bet-ters" you know what i mean) .. lol.... This is from one of the coffee shops at Bukit Batok East... Take 176, 188 or 941 can reach... Blk 15X. =) Near St Luke's Hospital I think. Also liked their tom yum soup.

RATINGS: 8/10



Dine at Bonjangles Pub with my parents yesterday... at Woodgrove Shopping Centre (I guess only... at Woodlands Al'meen (912 can reach)). We decided to give it a try... at a pub for lunch... the service was excellent... not many patrons... the food was good.... special in a way... black pepper chicken.... lol... with potatoes.... once in a while, its good to try something different. Guess the meal was like $9.50 per person on average... with a drink and a jelly.

RATINGS: 6.5/10








Dine at Fig & Olive last last Saturday with family at Jurong Point... had always wanted to try out their food.. looks creative... service was a big dissapointment... the staff were quite blur and took wrong orders.... -_-" ... and den they had quite a lot of staff.... 2 managers and 4 waiter/waitresses... 1 standing at the entrance to stare at you (more like driving customers away rather than asking them in) .... most of them were phillipinos and i guess they didnt know singaporeans like to look at the menu, decide for themselves and walk in ... instead of being pulled in through persuasion bah.... as u know singaporean are beri timid.. everything must read black and white den can decide de.. lol....



The food wise was great... the chicken i had was tender and the spaghetti was nice.. the overall taste is unique, special and delicious. My mum's fish n chips and my dad's chicken with rice i tink... was nice too.... the soup had its taste... quite good also...

Ambience was good.. cos we are the only family apart from one table of a single customer.... Save for the staff, i think the management needs to train the staff to be more proactive... they were proactive... but empty talk... my mum asked for pepper and the staff politely say yes... and den went on to talk to his colleague... den it was only until the 3rd time did the staff, after asking his colleague to bring the pepper to us.. -_-" ....
