Beakfast and the View

Feeling hungry before I really start my work today.

I went down to grab myself what most typical Singaporean will get.
A cup of hot Tea and Kaya Toast from "旺".
I like their Kaya very thick but not too sweet! Yum Yum.
My cup of Tea-O and Toast!
The Bread
As I enjoy my Breakfast, I looked out at the seaview that I have. Indeed it is a very nice view especially with today's weather.
Take a look for yourself (view to afar)

The NEAR View
Spoilt the nice skyline that I used to have before the construction of the Condo, "The Sail"
Yes it is a freaky expesnive Condo but hey almost any Condo now is expesnive due to the sky rocket property prices now.
Yet amongst all this ugly construction I get to see what the Sail can offer to their to be owners.
From the Bird-eye view, one can see the tennis court and the swimming pool!
Now when will the Bikini babes starts to swim and tan down there??

Harold & Kumar - A Poetic approach

Quiet Please as Kumar recite his

Square Roots of 3

"I'm sure that I will always be! A lonely number like root three.

The three is all that's good and right.

Why must my three keep out of sight. Beneath the vicious square root sign.

I wish instead I were a nine. For nine could thwart this evil trick, with just some quick arithmetic.

I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321. Such is my reality, a sad irrationality.

When hark! What is this I see!

Another square root of a three . As quietly co-waltzing by,

Together now we multiply. To form a number we prefer,

Rejoicing as an integer. We break free from our mortal bonds.

With the wave of magic ands our square root signs become unglued

Your love for me has been renewed. "

Labour Day is a Work day and a HAPPY DAY too!

Yes I worked on Labour Day and I'm damm Happy about it!

Did I have a nut screw off my head! NO my head is all good!

I worked on a Public Holiday while others enjoy theirs

Why am I happy?

Because today is an easy day. Not much work for me as most Market is close beside Japan.
So When Japan market closed I can go also go off!

But that not the perks that I'm happy about. It the Off that I get and the meal allowance that I get. Yes it might not be a lot but it did make my day.

And here is why. with that allowance I managed to treat my friend and I to a nice meal at Diao Xiao Er. Ok did not managed to cover all the cost but about 80% was covered!

And then we went for a movie, Iron Man. Btw the movie was free too due to the free movies passes I won!

So overall I did not spent much at all today for a fun Evening! It almost FREE!

The Food was great and the Movie was good too. The company I had is PRICELESS!

Thanks Lobster!

Ma. Maison


Ma.Maison

A Fusion of Japanese and Western food. This is my first time trying this while we explore Central for a place to chill and dine.

The place is small but cosy. Ambiance is nice and the service is more than excellence!

Many Japanese patronise this place. I see a 50% local and 50% Japanese in this place during my hour stay

.

I order a Burger Steak. The portion is just nice for me and it taste something like Ramy Burger to me but with better texture.

Halfway during the meal, this nice Japanese lady(i think is the boss) came to us and gave us this solid key.

The key is my BILL. Yes they gave me a key as a token for my Order. By the end of the day I just need to go to the counter which they design it like a check in counter. I just put the key on a bronze bowl and wait for my actual Bill.

Total Cost $20 per person(main dish plus an appetizer)

Very interesting and novel won't you say?

Life I see it now

My current life at this age revolves in mainly 2 things....

Getting Wedding Invitation. Yes as each year passes I am getting more of such invitation.

Getting news of someone's parents/grandparent passing away or your teacher.

Then When I look at my DAD's life....
He told me that he is attending more funeral. Funeral of his friends and he wonder how many are left out there living now. Everytime he comes back from one of these he will tell me he is getting more lonely.

It must be such a pain to see one by one your close friends leaving you first.

Yummy Yum Yum

Yes it Yummy and Yes it good!

Kimchi, BBQ pork, Chicken, beef and many more.

Today we have a feast at an authentic Korea Restaurant.

The staff are friendly and the service are good. They arranged for us to sit in a room rather than outside with the general public. Really feel like a special guest!

Ok back to the food. We order a buffet set which is at an affordable price I will said.
It is very different from the usual BBQ steamboat we have. usually we have hot pate then in the center is a pot of soup. This time round the center is the hotpate and surrounding is the soup. The soup based is kimchi too!

And beside the BBQ buffet they gave us a lot of side dish. We have Tofu, Kimichi Cabbage, Kimchi Radish, Ikan Billis, Hot dog and one more vegetable. Oh yes we order their Korea Pancake too!

Spent 2 hours eating and chit chating. It was a great time. And to end it off with a birthday cake for dessert!

Oh Yummy Yummy!

Handbag for you SIR?

Has Singaporean men been doting/caring and kind to their female counterpart?

I think pretty much so. Yes, at times we won't be pulling chair out for the lady and standing up when the lady leaves the table. But that does not means we are not nice or caring.

I think Singaporean guy has done fair share of opening doors for the lady and help them carry heavy stuff. That is gentleman enough.

But to carry a Lady's HANDBAG!

The latest talk and sight about MAN carrying their GF's Handbag is creating an interesting topic.

I hear some comments that it is okay for a guy to do it if he love his GF/Wife. Or this is now an equal status world and it a gentleman action to do so.

But the strange thing is that this is occurring only in Singapore!

You don't see our neighbour countries having this phenomenon. You don't even see this in the western country where they pride themselves to be a gentleman.

Let's define what is a lady handbag...

It is an accessory to complement their clothes rather than what it can do. A bag's original intent is to carry and hold things. Therefore they have that many handbag. Same logic for having that many shoes but hey that another topic to blog next time.

So since that is the function of a lady handbag, then man should not carry them.

1. they may not complement with what they are wearing
2. man don't wear/carry accessory
3. it call a LADY handbag and not a MANBAG!
4. it just look stupid for a man to carry a lady handbag

In short, a man can carry a lady handbag when the lady needs to go to the toilet or to be away for a short time. But not carrying it for hours while they walk down orchard road.

Anyway this is my view. You all have your own view and if you want to share it go ahead and write down your comments on the chatbox.

So Handbag for you SIR?
