Busy Sept to October (1O/1O/1O)

Things haven't been going well for me these 2 weeks...

Had been busy, my Gonggong(Mum's dad) passed away on 22 Sept, at the age of 83...

And then dad's hospitalisation last week.... burst-ed another vessel... Thankfully my dad's OK now and resting at home.

Today's 1O/1O/1O. I hope everything will be well and perfect this month.. and for the rest of the year... Lets hope everything will be 十全十美 (Perfect 10).

Taiwan Food Fair @ Clarke Quay The Central

Went to the Taiwan Food Fair @ Clarke Quay The Central ytd.... Went there for dinner.. wanted to try some Taiwan Specialty... About 15 stores there....

Ordered the Orh-jian (Taiwanese Oyster Omelette)... its the one with the longest queue... but kinda disappointing though.



Its a lot different from Singapore's Orh-luak... which is Teochew Style .... Theirs is hokkien style.... with lots of muahchi sticky paste.... eggs... oysters.... beanspourts.. vegetables... with a salty sauce...

Overall I prefer Singapore's version... LOL.... Anyway... it wasnt worth $6... the portion was too small (as seen in pic)... And I think the taste doesnt really tally with the one in Taiwan....


Also tried the Durian-Mango Ice.... i tink it is quite good.. the ice.. and the mango/durian paste.. a combo dessert.... but $5 is quite expensive.. lol....



Also tried their Meatball Tzu.... Er... You can see it .... I have posted it... but basically its filled with sticky sticky gluey like substance.. with not much of meat inside.... the salty braised sauce... with some "san-chen-rou"... I think this is the most worth it must try when u go there bah.... its quite nice and unique... though there wasnt much meat inside... $5 for this dish....



Tried their camollie tea. i tink overall the drink was nice... refreshing.... at the bubble milk tea store.... overall spent $20 for 5 items...

Perhaps you can try it.... but pls plan before you eat... lol.... their coupons are worth $10... so if you happen to spend $11 like me.. you gotta buy one more $10 coupon.... $6 (orh-jian) + $5 (meatball Tzu) + $5 mango durian snowshake + $2 camollie tea + $2 (Pork dumpling 1 piece) = $20



Walked through the decorated lanterns along the heart of Singapore River.... okay... overall there is some ambience of the upcoming mid-autumn festival...


Had a $10 voucher for New York New York... so went in for a lunch alone at Lot 1.... Ordered a $9.80 Sweet and Sour Thai Chicken Rice Set... and ordered an ala-carte Banana Pancake Ice Cream...




The Sweet & Sour Thai Chicken Rice set ok only... for $9.80 i wun order it next time again... lol.... as for the ala-carte banana pancake at $6.80 i might consider eating again... the banana cake was nice... toppled with ice cream....


Overall I paid $9.66 for the meal after $10 voucher... so it wasnt really cheap... got a shock of my life when i got the bill.. expected $5 - $6.. forget there is one thing called 10% service charge and 7% GST.



As for job applications... I am getting sick already... Applied for so many jobs... but everything seems so silent... my handphone record broke its record for the first time.. Total Received 50 minutes... Total Dialled 70 minutes... Total SMS sent: 80.... -_-" Lowered my expectations in the latest walk in interview for Popular job on Saturday... asking salary was $1800-$2000, down $400 from $2200-$2400.




Popular tells me they will get back to me by end of this week.... I hope they do. Positive please.. =)

Long Weekend ... Or was it not?

二缺一(國語版) by 蔡卓妍

LOL... The long weekend will be ending soon... Much to many disappointment... Same for me though... Public holidays or not, I am still free.... Unemployed... LOL.... Just that the roads will be filled with lesser people... LOL...

Anyway, these few weeks I have been going out with Zen and Tsian... but no pics.. lol... Last weekend was steamboat dinner at Tiong Bahru .... followed by the movie Grown Ups... =)

This week was a dinner at PS food court.... LOL... Damn... Nowadays PS food court so crowded... looks like everyone is as broke as me... LOL... The Cafe Cartel... which used to have queuing crowds is now one full vessel without queues... LOL... But I know why... The food quality has dropped tremendously... as I ate with my family on Sunday... The food quality has dropped... and the food is getting too oily.... =X
We had tau-hway for supper after the movie Vampires Suck.




Anyway, Saturday was having dinner with family at Aoha Japanese Restaurant...newly opened in IMM.... Oh my.... FOREIGN TALENT order taker again... This time... the staff is JAPANESE!!! Which is quite cool.... the politeness and hospitality culture of Japanese is something that our service quality seriously needs improvement... at least 70% of what Japanese should be. Before every dish is being served.. she will say.... Excuz me.... Bla bla... aka the dish name..

Seriously, if restaurants want to improve their service quality.... pls do not save costs and hire those cheap china prcs or filipinos in a bid to save costs.... filipinos though better and friendlier... sometimes they take very long to complete a request.... -_-" .. should get ang moh or japanese.. =)

The food at Aoha wasnt good, however.... it serves hokkaido ramen.... which has a tendency to have ultra strong soup base.... which i find it too salty.... my brothers find it ok though.

MOVIE REVIEWS


Grown ups is an American comedy.... where you know the jokes can get a little bit more dirty sometimes... Overall, its a nice comedy... with storyplot and all... some bits were funny.... nonetheless, its a nice weekend movie retreat....

RATINGS: 7/10



This movie is a remake of the feminist Twilight movie.... LOL... it appeals more towards the male audiences... with sarcasm and criticism to the Twilight movie... Overall the movie does not have any real plot... but its EXTREMELY FUNNY.... The scenes and all.... Even females enjoyed it.... Its a perfect movie... to cheer u up for the weekend. One funny thing is the half naked scenes in Twilight.... In this movie.... they add in some salt about why there should not be so many half male naked scenes...

Anyway, the amazing thing about this movie is the ability of the producer to find casts that looked almost similar to the cast from Twilight movie.. which i find it quite amazing. =)

RATINGS: 8/10

Oh army!

LOL... I oso aint getting a cent from it. Lau Peng liao.... LOL...
