Live reporting from Changi Airport

Will be boarding plane & flying to the land of rising sun in an hour's time.
Sleepy now as i woke up early for work today.
Guess i should be able to sleep onboard unless there are spoilt brats crying & disturbing.
I shall give them my infamous stare & "tsk" sound. =p

Btw, my mood is damn damn good now! Not just because i'm traveling, got some other happy news. Will share with u peps when i'm back. Don't want to jinx it for the time being.

Shall do live report again if i have access to internet in Jap.
Till then shall we meet.

All set & ready

PS Cafe - - -> Perplexedly Substandard Cafe

After the much unhappy encounter with PS Cafe @ Demspey last year, it sort of given me pretty bad impression.

For those who don't know what happened, let me recount again:
Me & frenz had wanted to go PS cafe on a Sunday.
My gf called dayz in adv to reserve a table. But was told they do not accept reservation. Gotta go there & queue.
>.<''' Ok fine.
We reached at noon time & realized the whole place is packed with Ang Mohs.
Before us, there is another couple in the queue only.
Told the girl we have 3 people, she noted down & told us they are full so have to wait. >.<''''
While waiting, another Ang Moh group arrived & was shown in IMMEDIATELY.
When we question the girl why was that group given special treatment, she say they had already reserved table! >.<''''''
The next group of MTV VJs arrived, & again they were shown in IMMEDIATELY! >.<''''''''''
By then, we decided we had enough. This place is racist.
So we changed our luncheon venue.

Fasttrack to Thur night, it was Ms Reporter bday & she wanted to go PS cafe.
So i just went along.
& i think, this should be the last time this place earn my hard-earn money.
Reason being that:
- to reserve table for weekdayz dinner, there are only 2 time slots u can choose: 6.30pm or 8.30pm (it's almost impossible for general working adults to reach that damn place at 6.30pm coz normal working time is till 6pm. so u can only starve till 8.30pm)
- On the menu, there are like less than 10 main courses for u to select (my Coq Au Vin Pie is just a pie with chicken dice & mushroom stuffing).
- the starting price of dessert is from $12. Now i really don't mind paying that kind of $ for a decent dessert. But not for a slice of cake! So there was no dessert for the night.
- Half way through our meal, the waiter requested to replace the 2 chairs (sat by our bags) for our table with 2 stools. Coz another Ang Mohs group just arrived & there is not enough chairs.
- Outdoor seatings will get to enjoy crickets "singing", not in normal volume. It's in damn loud volume that seems like there are millions of crickets surrounding u. (i hate creepy crawlies fyi)
- We were told by the waiter that we are NOT allow to take photo of the architecture & food. (in case u're wonderin so how on earth i managed to take those pics above. Cos i don't give a damn to their silly ruling). If museum can take photo w/o flash, why can't this damn place with just zinc roof top, dim lightings, brand-less furnitures & greenery.
- There are only 2 damn small cubicles for ladies restroom (so there is always a queue, don't wait till it's urgent then visit. Your poor bladder will suffer)
- While settling the bill, they added 3 never-ordered items to our bill! (imagine if i did not check through the bill but just sign blindly)
>.<'''''''''''''''''''''''''''' by now, the no. of sweat on my forehead has grown to as many as the crickets "singing" there.

In general, PS Cafe is just a Perplexedly Substandard Cafe.
Don't waste your time, money & stomach for this place.
There are much better similar cafe out there. Trust me.

When i have too much time. . .

A classic. Watch it. It's definitely worth waiting for it to load.
ken leee.......tulibi dibu doucho....


This is cool! Reminds of the constant nagging of my mum! Oopss!

十年的difference

10 年前, @ 16 years old, we look like this:

4B Class photo
East Coast Picnic

The topic that we chat are normally about school, about the puppy love issues, about some kiddish stuff


至今， 10 年后的今天， @ 26 years old, we look like this:

omg! what happened to the guys??? lolx
发福的发福， 变美的变美
& now the common topic are about who is married/ getting married, where we are earning a living & how's life recently.

i wonder 再过 10 年 how everyone will look like?
By then, i assume the topic will be who is not yet married, how many kids we have & how is our marriage life!

Chin Cheong Shopping Mall

Was in orchard last sat to do some shopping for my Jap trip.

While passing by the infamous Civic Plaza, the semi circular outdoor area outside Ngee Ann city, i heard some chanting. It's the sort of Chinese chanting that u normally hear during some prayer session or funeral.
So out of curiosity, i walk nearer to check it out.
Apparently, the Ngee Ann Kongsi foundation which is the owner of Ngee Ann City decided to hold a 3 days Thanksgiving sort of session for the good business of the mall.
& at such event, besides the normal chantings, how can u forget the burning incense paper part!
Gosh! It's really my first time witnessing such event in Orchard belt!
U don't see such activity even during the CNY or 7th Month!
Did a brief research on Ngee Ann Konsi & found out that this Chin Cheong Co. has got their hands on lots of businesses - School (e.g. Ngee Ann Sec, Ngee Ann Poly), TCM (Ngee Ann Traditional Chinese Medicine Centre) & even a Ngee Ann Cultural Centre!
Really fwah fwah leh this Teochew foundation group!

历史又重复了！

Today received a call from a long time friend.
a friend whom i treasure dearly since schooling dayz.
When i was in my down period, feeling deserted;
he sat by me & made my schooling dayz more endurable.

After graduation, we kinda lost contact as we went to different poly.
On & off i gotten updates about him; shifted house, changed girlfriend, switched career path.
Today, his unexpected yet familiar voice through the other side of the phone is to invite me to his wedding! *happiness for him*

We chatted happily about the past & the present; the feeling of talking with old friends (coz we did a 3-way conference call with YH) is so heart-warming.
Then, i did a check of the date of his big day & realized that i will not be in Spore! *thunder + lightening* (Recap: my Japan trip is from 27th Mar to 4th Apr)

Now, those who remembered, i missed 玲‘s big day 2 years back cause i was in Hong Kong.
Now history has repeated again!

Aaarrrrggghhhh. . .
just when i’m full of anticipation of meeting all the old friends again, this has to happen. Shit!
Anyway, i’m looking forward to this Sunday meet up which is supposedly to pass us the invitations.
i think if this goes on, 1 fine day if i decided to get hitch, none of my school mates will be coming cause i've been missing out on their big dayz! :/
Pls don't do that to me ok! lolx
i think to be safe, u peps should give me the date of your big day way way in advance so that i can block out any traveling plan or work schedule or whatsoever!
i really don't want to miss out such event again.

The addictive Game

i'm never a gamer person.

But a few games that i do play are:
bubble puzzle, brick game, "spot the difference" & mario!
Cute mario figurine with cute background with cute music & cute enemy!
So it's no surprise that i only play Super Mario Bros & "Spot the difference" with my sis's N妹.
The kick of "crossing" stages after stages & discovering the tricks of each stages is so freaking addictive!
How i wish i can have all the time to stay at home to play games, watch dramas, scrap book, accompany toto & SLEEP! esp for such wet & cold weather.

念念不忘。。。

遗憾啊！

A trip to National Museum

Can u remember when was the last time u visit National Museum??

Mine last visit was during sec. school dayz!
So this should be considered my 1st trip there ever since the 3 years redevelopment from 2003.
Now this iconic architecture site has blossom into a modern classical European style building. Besides the usual exhibition halls, there are now various chic F&B outlets within the compound too.

The main purpose of this visit is because of this:

This is a rare opportunity to be able to appreciate the Greek masterpieces in S’pore, unless u have been to the renowned Louvre museum in Paris. These 130 exquisite pieces are really fascinating! The whole exhibition gallery is divided into 4 sections – Athens in the Classical Period, Living in Ancient Greece, Agon: The Spirit of Competition & Religion: of Gods and Heroes; using detailed marble sculptures, figurines, vases & jewellery.

If you are like me, someone who is mesmerized with Greek mythology, then make some time to visit this exhibition. It is only till 16 Mar hor.

Fun with Lomo

These days whenever i go out, there are a minimum of cameras in my bag. . . sometimes up to 3!
Besides my usual digi-cam, there will definitely be another lomo cammy, be it supersampler or holga or my new toy fisheye aka fishy!

Yeah! i'm hook with taking pics using these toy cammys to capture images in different modes.

See! These are some pics from Holga:

my perfect model for all shoots - toto
multiple exposure - u should see 2 different person in this pic

my fav. vintage tinted mode. Don't it reminds u of the pics from olden dayz

Another multiple shot - mahjongs & the 4 players

p.s.: Ms Ong, i realised my holga is creating the "circle frame effect" juz like +Diana!
wahahaahhaha

And now. . . here come the results of my 1st attempt with Fishy

The reason this cammy is called Fisheye is because it sees a sweeping 170-degree view – compacting everything around the fixture into a compact circular image; majiam a view out of a fish's eye.
Izin't it cool!
