And they EAT DA POO POO....

Life as a retiree

Introducing my latest additions.... 3 SBS Volvo Double Deckers.... the yellow bus is a replica of SBS7204J.... which has been sold over to the UK First Bus... Its a replica of Singapore's last non-air con DD...

The 2 others you know lah... the livery you see everyday on the roads... bought the SBS Twin Pack at $120.. had always wanted to collect the set... since secondary school... finally got it! =) The First Bus collection was cheaper... bought it at a bargain online at about $30....
























LOL... Its been close to two months since my exams last ended... and I have been leading a life just like a retiree!

LOL... Everyday's routine is like waking up at 11am.. going out for a nice lunch.. and den leaving home for a afternoon walk..... LOL... and then back home for dinner.. Sounds cool huh???? And then watching TV at night... and then surfing net from 11pm - 2am and then back to sleep... and a 9 hrs sleep and the same old thing happens...

OH NO.... I am 24 and I am living a life of a retiree. Fear not. I am not obsessed with working and working for more money like I used to do. OH MIND! What a change! Perhaps NS has made me realise, money isnt about everything.. Having a relaxed life is just what I want? LOL...

Anyway, believe it or not, after graduating.. it seems like one has gone into the next stage of life.. which is unemployed.. imagine filling up UNEMPLOYED for lucky draws??? Sounds rather cool...

And its best.. to fill up as unemployed.... nobody will call you up and buy insurance or invest in new bonds.... which i apparently havent been receiving recently... Except for the Singapore Casket... and a property management seminar from a Filipino... and today a china woman scam.... asking if i was interested to pay attention to her a few minutes... probably i won a few million dollars again and she needs me to send her a cheque to process my winnings to my account....

Met tim last sunday together with shaun and all... had lunch at Han's Park Mall.. The meal was pretty justifiable.. The steak portion was extremely big... and comes with a soup... and a drink.. costed like $15... but its restaurant style.. they serve u... the steak was just nice... though not premium.. but its enuff for me... =)


They have cheaper items though.. i happened to order the most expensive set... Steak costs a lot more in Singapore than other meats.... lol... shaun and kenneth ordered the hainanese pork chop wich apparantly looks quite good too... at less than $10 a set... =)

We then went over to selegie to chill dou jiang you tiao.. and then went over for a game of counterstrike and left for dead 2? . wah.. my 1st time... i keep dying and losing... anyway, once in a while.. its ok to cross the boundary.. lol... surprisingly its $4 for 2 hrs of game! So cheap huh?

Anyway, had lunch at Soup Spoon, Raffles City that week. My first time there... had always wanted to try as i walked passed... ordered the beef soup.... didnt really like the beef soup... taste weird.. -_-" ... i guess a chicken cream soup would suit me better... =)

Met up with Tsian this Wednesday... we had a late lunch at VivoCity... I am starting to love Kim Gary liao... =) They have a variety of different interesting food items.. and lots of menu....

Ordered their korean ramen... tasted OK bah.... a 7/10.. i like the sunnysideup.. =) the beef meat was nice.... and the soup was unique.. =) The yuanyang was OK.... the bread was presentable... good to eat.... nice honey syrup! =)

We then went over to catch the movie... sex and the city 2.... not much of sex scenes... suggestive sex messages kept coming out though... unlike sex and the city 1 where there were many sex scenes.. but not much implied sex messages... overall the movie was funny.... and we can see some scenery of abu dhabi abu dhabi.... which is quite good... its quite nice somehow... and its great to watch it for couples... =)

RATINGS: 7/10


Dinner with Tsian was char kway teow and char kway at Seah Im food centre... this whole table of food costs $6! =) Its cheap... and good to eat! =) Definitely worth the value! $2 per plate! =)

Last was supper at Lot 1 with Tsian... ordered our favourite... "Dun Dan"... Boiled Milk and Boiled Egg... =) Its a nice Macaunese dessert... cold and hot... both available.... with ginger or no ginger.. Available in Singapore too... Best one is at New Bridge Road though.... the dessert shophouse next to Lucky Chinatown =)

Realised I havent been blogging of late.... Really beri paiseh abt this... haix.... actually i have been so bored these few days..... juz dun feel like blogging.... laptop's spoilt for a month by now.....have to use the main desktop in the living room.. juz lost appetite for blogging... kinda.. lol....

Anyway, its the world cup season.... i see heat everywhere.... everyone's busy betting.... like singapore's a betting country.. lol... have to queue 30 mins to bet at choa chu kang singapore pools today...... at 7pm somemore... lol.... yesterday saw a girlfriend asking her bf.... i got $100... bet which one! u choose for me... lol....

Went out with Tsian today..... went for lunch.. oh mind.. seriously... xin Char Chan Teng, operated by Banquet holdings... suck! They have this outlet just outside Jurong Point.. having a promotion of 50% for all its dim sum during lunch.... and it sucks big thumb.... the dim sum wasnt nice at all.... they look ok.. but the skin of the har kau and the deep fried prawn coin bag sucks.... the xiaolongbao was ok....

Service wise was bad... as in management style... YOU MUST BUY DRINKS from them.... and the cheapest drink costs $2.50 (mineral water)..... -_-" .... worst still.. they insist i pay $2.50 for the mineral water when i requested for plain water after eating all their dry and oily dimsum....zzz..... pls leh.. i bought a mango milkshake liao... no need so stingy rite.... not as if i didnt order any drink.... had to buy a drink at Sweetalk after which...

The whole meal costed us $14. Tsian didnt finish his rice... which only has 3 main ingredients... cheese, chicken and rice... -_-" .... he couldnt finish it because the taste is just too bland to eat too many mouthfuls....

The mango milkshake was terrible. Didnt quench my thirst... made me more thirsty instead! Not much smell of mango.. lots of pulp... -_-"

Seriously, for the meal... EPIC FAIL! 4.5 / 10....


Watched Karate Kid after tat at jurong point.... the movie was pretty long... some parts are funny.. but i feel the atmosphere wasnt too much there... jackie chan's last movie as a spy agent was better... more funny... this one he doesnt really fight... the black child was good in his moves.. look cool... but overall... i could not get the gist of the movie... what are they sparring... chinese kungfu... japanese karate or just street fighting?????

RATINGS: 6/10



Went out with Weida last week.... havent met him for like half a year already.. =) He celebrated my belated birthday.. wow... so long yeah? Anyway, we had a dinner at Jacks Place... ordered the Mixed Grill combo with set meal and includes a chicken soup and a mango dessert.... the mango dessert looks nice.. but doesnt taste as good... the crust is just too hard to bite off... overall the meal was good.. =)




Catch the movie, A Nightmare at Elm Street after which.. seriously speaking... i hate to watch horror movies.. haha.. cos always lame endings and stories without much plot... this was pretty interesting... horror with some anticipation going on throughout the movie.... i give it 7/10. =)









Went out with Shaun and Kenneth last week too.. we went to Kim Gary Char Chan Teng @ VivoCity .... had always wanted to visit them.. but always put off by the long weekend queues.. finally had a chance to enter it without queueing up... cos its a weekday at 6pm....











Shaun and Kenneth ordered a set meal... which actually had almost the same items i ordered ala-carte... just that my drink was a little bit different from theirs... and the utensils and cutlery were different... should have ordered the set meal.. save me like $6... lol.... cheese beef baked rice for me.... =) mine was with curry... theirs was without..

The curry baked rice doesnt look appetizing at all.. but it taste pretty good... =) The mango milkshake was extermely appetizing and good! =)

We later went over to chill at Earle Swensens.... ordered my fav sticky chewy chocolate and a softee yogurt ice cream... =)

Where the bloody hell are you?

Finally graduated....

LOL... received my results on Thursday... Passed everything.... Finally out of school... but going to the next stage of life, which is RETIREMENT! LOL...



Yeah.... On a holiday mood right now.... Probably for this weekend. Have to start editing my resume next week before I send them out. Anyway, kinda sucks.... The weather is freaking hot these few days.... Kinda giddy now after a morning out eating Kway Chap at Toa Payoh and joyriding bus...



Den joyriding Non-aircon buses... Haha... love the breeze when it moves... but not when the bus stops at the traffic junction. Thats when the heat starts to kill you off.. lol...

Went out with Tsian on Monday to watch Ip Man 2 at PS.... Overall the movie was quite good.... a lot of kungfu fighting and kicking by Donnie Yen... action packed thrilled and all.... storyplot was interesting..... =)
Had ajisen for lunch b4 tat....



We then headed down to the expo... which is freaking far... lol... we went there for the food exhibition... and also visited popular and john little fair....


We chose to go home by bus... lol.... travelling on the double decker all the way from Expo to New Bridge Road Terminal via bus 12 ... and then taking 190 all the way... took us like 30 mins more.. but it was more worth it.... den being cramped and squeezed on the MRT! LOL.... I prefer double deckers... anyway, there was practically nobody at the time .... as it was headed for the city at about 9 plus...
So we took a chance to take pictures on the bus! LOL...
RATINGS (Ip Man 2) : 7.5/10


Tuesday outing was with Shaun How.... lol... to watch Prince Of Persia.. as usual... he is late by 30 mins.... -_-" ... when can this person ever be early... had lunch .... before we watched the movie... the movie was good too.... a 2 hr long movie.... but it is quite an imaginative story that kinda amazes me.... cos i dun really fancy such movies... lol... not my type.. but then i managed to keep my eyes watching on the movie... the background of the movie was good... sceneries and all... coupled with good sound system and good plot... Overall i enjoyed it....

RATINGS: 8/10





Last saturday went out with family for lunch at lot 1.... went to this eatery called Jalapeno's Peppers at the basement.... They have set meals going around $8.... comes with soup and ice cream.... and a pasta... tink its pretty worth it! =)

The food serving was also quite a lot... better than those food court stalls where they give no quality and no quantity food.... =) The food was also quite nice... look forward to dining with them soon....

The apple crumble with ice cream was nice! =) Hot and crispy!...



Watched Shrek Forever After with Tsian in the evening at Marina Square.... the movie was kinda short... but cartoons being cartoons... always shorter cos of the production and drawings needed to get the storyline done... anyways, its a nice short funny movie that keeps me laughing through the 1.25 hrs... =)

RATINGS: 7.5/10



Went to eat La Mian Xiao Long Bao at Marina Square in the evening with Tsian after the movie..... like to eat xiao long bao lover... i would say imperial treasure's xiao long bao is the best in Singapore... always liked to order one tray for myself! LOL... =)

Lately, Singapore's security just bothers me.. it seems like this is a week of constant unrest...

Robberies here and there... with weapons somemore... oh no... when is this going to stop.... kinda scary.. =X




Anyway, heres an update on buses.... China Made Fuel Cell bus will be coming to Singapore on service for the upcoming YOG Games..... a tie up apparantly with NTU and China's bus company.... Here's how the bus would look like... the bus looks weird... lol...
