Orchard Road 2011 - A blue blue year =)

Hi folks. Went for a short trip a few weeks ago at Orchard Road. Shot some simple photos to share here =)















Photos taken using iPhone 4 with Camera+ app. Pardon me for the poor low light ambience quality.

Googlewave dead starting January

Ok. Google has annouced that Google Wave's going dead starting 2012. Poor dude... I surely appreciate that service just hoping that they will improve their sync responsiveness.Anyway.. I believe i'll just leave my google+ to stay there and lie dormant. Not going to use it. In fact I'm getting sick of Google's copycat approach lately. From the Nexus phone to the Android to Google+ ! Sheer copycat culture and that's for losers. Winners innovate, not copy.

Meanwhile, a week ago I was damn stress so I chowed down another steak !! Woops !!

The meat is pink. Not bloody anymore this time. Though I would appreciate some sizzling plate or hotplate to keep the meat warm, as when i hit the nice fatty part, it's dead cold. Pity that.

Steak photo shot using Camera+ on iPhone 4.

Exam First Blood..

Woke up at 5 to get a quick revision of the paper.. and the sky and sun took my attention instead.

Shot it with my iPhone and the Camera+ app which allows me to adjust exposure and focus accordingly. And I'm very pleased with the outcome.

After the exam, head was flying around. Feel stress, go eat steak at Astons :

Had it cooked medium, feels good factor go up 100 times, oh yeah I'm ready for the next paper !

Go home, rest. Wake up and prepare to go Aunt's house. Has a list of inventories to bring. End up like a hauling cow. I'm cool :

Last note : the weather nowadays are like shit ! Can't stand much of it. Seriously !

136 Hong Kong Street Fish Head Steamboat 香港街魚頭爐 (South Bridge Rd)

Hallelujah awesome fish noodle !

Was having a long long week so I've decided to give myself a treat, FISH SOUP BEE HOON !

Went to this shop called 136 Hong Kong Street Fish Head Steamboat 香港街魚頭爐 .

I gotta say their food is awesome. Especially the Fish Soup Bee Hoon !

I got addicted to this dish ever since I came to SIngapore. Well I truly appreciate how Singaporean

love fish on their hawker fares ! It's something I can hardly find in Sungai Petani... err... wait well ok, assam laksa is made of fish too. Right ? ROFL.

BAck to the Bee Hoon !

TADAAA !!!

Night clowdy yellowish broth with fish fillets pan seared to perfection with lot's of black woks !

Awesome sweetness of the fish and the smoothness of the bee hoon seriously melt my heart and i wanna die eating this !

Next time you drop by Singapore ! EAT THIS !! I SAAAYYYYY EAT THIIIISSSSS !!!

Exam firstblood

Firstblood in 15 days... This time cannot fail already. Must chiong !

Took this picture after lesson today. Will miss this view very soon.

Why the disappointment with iPhone 4S ? Just my opinions- Part 1

Well yeah, I stayed up the whole night watching the live web update about the iPhone 4S reveal. Well you know what ? I woke up seeing the whole world condemning the iPhone 4S. Well, honestly I don't see why people are so upset about it. Well yeah actually I do, it's because people all agree that Apple Inc is such an industry defining company that the whole world are waiting for them to create wave after wave of technology-normal life harmony. People all love Apple Inc and they certainly do place a high hope on this company, as if they are a God's institution that will rain hopes and heaven on mankind !

Well, reality check, it takes time and patience for real innovation to happen. Technological advances can be accelerated but at a slow pace. Sometimes, resources are being shifted around to create a whole new dimension of new product. You'll never know, what Apple is up to again this time ! 18 months just to upgrade the hardware of iPhone 4 into iPhone 4S doesn't sound like Apple to me. I strongly believe something big is coming real soon. After all, this is the world's 2nd biggest company in terms of cash in the bank!

Well there's certainly a lot of substance in the iPhone 4S. Despite the whole world critisizing it, Apple's online store got jammed up with pre-orders! So why am I so obsessed with iPhone ? Well, like I've said, there are a lot of substance in this phone. I'll write that in the next part of this series.

It's a productive weekend.

Hi people,

Econs exam was over and I guess I did ok =) Cant say that I'm a sure win but yeah it's good. Gotta watch your mouth and be humble you know ? Cause some loser's eye might turn red when you boast about something online and they start to accuse and dirty up your image outside of your radar. Haha, if you know what I'm trying to say...

But anyway, we've got some cool pictures up today. Shot some views of University Town, a premier state-of-the-art university campus of NUS (National University of Singapore). Man, this place is awesome !! Even the exchange students from Yale that I made friend with today told me so. She said there's NO SUCH FACILITIES IN United States University ! Cool shit, I know NUS gonna carve it's own legend one day! I bet she will =) *winks*

Here's two pictures I shot with my iPhone 4 today. It's about the Mac Common facility in Utown.





Mac Common is a room sponsored by Apple Inc to help NUS produce top class leaders in the future. Here we have 30 Macs and 24 hours air-conditioned room for studies. Power plugs are everywhere so no worry if you need a power point for your laptop. Rest assured, this is probably the best study room in an Asian university ! And I've took residence in this room since. Spending most of my non-lecture time here studying and as I'm doing now, studying hard. Gotta make Steve Job feel that he's doing the right thing for sponsoring us =) Well hopefully Tim Cook you'll sponsor another 30 Macs for us will you ? Or maybe give us more discounts when buying a Mac, cause I'm seriously considering buying one in the future, which will complete my trio of iPhone, iPad and an iMac =)

Wee away and see you again, red-eyed loser =) *winks off, and you wankers sank-off*

So tired... but it's a good change.

I've never studied so hard in my NUS life before. Never.. this is my first time... reading up all lecture notes, reading up all the textbooks, doing all the questions in textbooks, doing the questions again, watching the webcast again and again..

Fear contribute a lot to my change. I have to admit. But thankfully there's Mac Commons in NUS, where I get Mac desktop usage for the whole fucking day =)

Anyway, say hi to my delicious dinner, Yong Tau Fu ! Only cost me $3.50 delicious !!

Good things are happening.. I feel like a spoilt kid. :P

Say hello to my new baby....



=)I need to give her a name... no idea yet.. Let's call her number 4 : She's my 4th bicycle in my life =)

Number 4 ain't cheap :P Airflown from USA though made in CHina. Awesome bike =)

Midterm Exxxamzzz

I gotta exam is the one thing that pushed out the best in man.

But then again, there is this saying NUS = no use studying.

Well, i think that only applies to the rest of NUS' 15,000 populace. For me, i'm not that smart so yeah let's study.

Watch my fury..

Hello, loser.. watch as I overtake you and you sit down and cry like a baby. Sorry folks, it's a society where the strong lives and the weak dies.

It's all about survivalism, so work harder, and stop being stupid and useless.

Loser..

Brother.. Stop criticizing others when you haven't look at your own self. Please listen to what other thinks about you. Sometimes, the one that understands you the most is the enemy. Understand yourself more before the enemy know more than you, for that will make you stealthy and strong.

-Godspeed and good luck.

Ok.. enough ranting about some stupid people. Here are some Singapore views I've shot today, just for fun you know ?



At the national library... look how modern and grand it is ?



Beside the Seating Gallery, empty street on a quiet Saturday morning.



The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, 5 stars, expensive and luxurious.

Good morning

Woke up and went to her workplace. Sent her to work and its kinda fun :)

But i must admit that the food here in Marina Bay Sands is motherf***ing expensive !! Spent 8 dollars for my cibai breakfast .. If not that i'm not hungry i wouldnt have eaten it !

Anyway saw a couple with a kid. The mother is pregnant. Looks like my future :p

Glad.. That all is fine

I am very happy to see nothing bad happen. It's a good sign that we are getting stronger and the future seems firm. Happy to know that.

Meanwhile i saw the latest news that mean fresh graduate income in singapore is projected at 2.7k for fresh graduates !! Haha !! Good la its good enough for a good life. Supplemented by 2 tuition class in the weekends i should be able to lead a happy life with you darling.

Good Food .. Good Air.. Good Coffee... Bad Day

Good bak kut teh from PGP.. good coffee... The haze from indonesia is clearing up.. But what i'm facing now is real bad.

Re-orientation needed...

Sometimes... i wonder who am i in this megapolis. Where do i stand ? What role will i play ? Is it minor or major ? By the time i'm 50 will i be happy ?

Thoughts about the future have been crippling through my mind ever since RAG Day. I need to find a target, and bang it down hard. And a target i did found, but it's kinda intimidating. Straight aces have never been something a dude like me can do, but i know i'm not gonna last long if i don't do it. It's about survivalism now.

The real mindset that LKY have been trying to instill in his people's mindset. Well... i guess i just have to embrace it as well ? Cause if i don't, where do i stand in a society of elites and champions ?

When you come to kiasu-land, you gotta play it the kiasu-way. Throw away the kampung mindset, it's time for the next level. Aim for the highest, for all you know it's gonna lead you higher than not doing it at all.

Replacement..

If I can replace you to fight the sickness you are suffering from now.. that would be the best.

Prince Coffee House Beef Horfun

This shop's interior is like the good old days. Ate this when I passed by Arab Street to help my folks buy some cloth. The shop is located in Bugis Area. Honestly that area is a gourmet paradise but what you need is lot's of cash and bling blings to get it into your palate.

The beef is tender and nice. I can tell it's not Indon/Malaysian beef. It could be those air beef from US or Australia. The vegetables are fresh too ! One trick when you eat "cze char" is that some cooks over-cooked the vegetables and they become bland and yellow, which reduce their refreshing property. When you eat a dish with lot's of meat, you occasionally want some refreshment to bring the perks in your palate down so that you can enjoy more from those meat.

Over the place and food is good. What saddens me is the price. At $6.00 yes I know it's air beef and it taste good but oh well, I'm still a student and I'm dead hungry that day. I don't have much time to look for hawker food so I settled on this. The price brought down my rating for this outlet.

Prince Coffee House Beef Horfun 8.0/10

Hey You !

hey YOU !

Dun cry already ok ?

here's a big gift for you, hope you see them when you wake up :

=)

The Best Ramen

Hi people,

Just to share with you people what I've tasted lately. Miso Ramen from Shin-Sapporo. It's awesome at a proper price too !



Look at this, look at the egg especially ! It's Shin-Sapporo's signature tamago. At $14.50 this huge bowl of ramen is more than enough for 2 person. Best part is, it's awesome.

The pig bone broth is thick and well cooked. The noodles are like 100% natural Maggi noodle, chewy and well crafted. The corn and bean sprouts are cooked just nice. Simple delicious. Gonna go back for more in future. It's already my second trip there.

Shin-Sapporo. 9.50/10

Beautiful Singapore

I miss this scene :



Gah all I wanna do now is finish up this grand project and go home and enjoy life. My home in Singapore.

p/s : gonna update on the best ramen I've ever had. The awesome Miso Ramen from Shin-Sapporo.

Words from July : missing you

My beloved wife..

I just want you to know how much I miss you.

Johnie Walker Green Label 15 Years Old Malt Blend

Dear Johnie Walker,

I know this day would come again. So I bought a Green Label and stash it up in a hidden location, so that I can have a small sip of it, to calm myself down and to prevent me from killing myself. It is more expensive than the Black Label I admit, but the difference is stupendous.

Thanks for saving my life again. I found peace in it, to face the coming days.

Keep Walking.

Keeping quiet

Hence,

I shall keep my mouth shut.

No complains.

Let the world look down at me again.

Like She(the world) always do...

Rain drops on a blade...

Hate this kind of early morning quietness. Makes me nervous of what's coming in this busy Monday.

It's like rain drops... dripping on a soldier's blade.. before the start of a war.

i will continue to stand...

I will keep on standing..

I will stay alive..

For what you are doing to me now is all my karma..

I will pay back all my sins.. Since i got nothing else in this world to hold on to.

It's not that everytime i blog, i blog about sadness in this relationship. But my Freundin, it's because i got no one else in this world to talk to. I don't have friends, nor I have someone else to talk to cool down these feelings down. This blog has been around since our relationship started. She is the only one whom i can talk to when i'm really down. I've got 2 more friends : beer and whisky. But i know i shouldn't rely so much on them, else i will live shorter and have lesz time to be with you, or if i can't be with you, have less time to look at you while standing in shadows.

I know you don't need me. I knew it since long time ago. You've got nothing to loose if you ditch me again. But it's ok. It's all ok...

This week, my happiness lasts only 10 minutes, when you tell me that you found someone whom will help you advance your carrier in pastry... I've been always blaming myself whenever i remember how i encouraged you to study pastry only to see that you felt insecured with a life without a university degree. I'm sorry for that. But at least now there's hope. And you have brighter years ahead than me... I wish you love.

I better do..

I better work harder next semester. No more excuses.

Stress food

Coffee. Not that cheap $1.70

Expensive but great tom yam noodles. $10 but enough for 2 people.

Best library session ...

Yeah ! Best day ever in a library.

REVISION ...

Damn syok.. today super happy ! though the dinner part felt like kena cheat LOL

Xin Wang Coffeeshop

Coffee and "Boh Long Bao" from Xin Wang Cafe in West Coast Plaza. Pretty nice coffee. The pineapple's pretty nice too =)

The Bus Is Mine

Got on an empty bus the other. Shot a few photos using LemeLemeHD apps from iPhone 4. Used all the lens options available. Sorry for the poor quality, the bus is shaking like mad and I can hardly balance and aim.

PM prepared to meet Customs union - Malaysia is a real corrupted state.

PM prepared to meet Customs union

Sorry. After reading this news, I'm like totally lost my faith in this country.

Peninsular Malaysia Customs Officers Union president Ibrahim Ahmadhad on Friday requested a meeting with Najib, saying the morale and credibility of Customs officers and staff had been tarnished by reports on corruption and money-laundering to the tune of RM108bil involving Customs officers.

Ibrahim had also said that reports claiming corruption and money-laundering involving Customs officers amounting to RM108bil were illogical because the department had generated revenue of only RM28.3bil last year.

Mr Ibrahim, you gotta be joking right ? RM108bil resulting in only RM23.3 bil is a very obvious indication that bribery and corruption has taken place.

Stupid pinoy..

I gotta admit what's in my heart : He's pretty screwed up.

Haha .. Pinoy Pride Brader ! Enjoy pure talent Brader ! You gotta love pure talent !!

Are you having pun (fun) on Priday ?

He said lastly :" you can suck my langunisa ?!"

Three Big Pigs - Super America

Damn cool this video. HAHAHA ! Super funny ! But it's true ! America's one big bastard eagle.. came smashing through everything !

we are fighting again..

i feel like killing myself.

i tried to prevent it but it still fails.

is it time to end my life already ?

i am tied to so many things and i dont want to let go any of it.

I am greedy. and because of that my mind is really dying.

is it time to return to where i come from ? the other side of the world ?

I'm poor..

Honestly i didnt realise that i am so poor now. What's the reason behind this poverty i've seriously no idea. So far i'm left with a hundred bucks and i gotta make do with what i've left. Bless me.

Sorry.

Hey..! CHEESEBUN ! CHEESEBUN WITH LOT'S OF SNOWY ICING SUGARS !!

I'm sorry not that I wanted to do that..

but.. since March last year when I popped the first bottle of hoegaarden, life has been upside down for me and I'm struggling to keep things back to the balance.

Don't blame me for that. help me change things. Not blame me or scold me or emo-ing there. i needed support. not hate.

All i can say is for you, I've been really working hard on many changes that you have always wanted to see. But lately at the same time, life's pushing me to the very limit. It's hard for me.

Your my angel..

the very thought of Cheese Bun... made my day brighter.

Thanks.

Lectures..

Lectures sucks. Having to sit through 6 hours of lectures with an empty stomach is a terrible torture to me. Sigh.

Anyway.. I've cleaned my room roughly. It's at least suitable for me to study in now.

Coffee..... again

This monster's gonna keep me awake for good and help me push through the mountains of works !



Photo taken with iPhone 4.

Test photo..

Hi all.

Tried shooting some photos with the iPhone 4 and it turns out to be moderate.



Probably its due to my noobness that i cannot pick the right exposure for it. Will use more time to explore this phone. It's too awesome.

Testing from iPhone

iPhone 4

I had to say that this is probably the best phone I've ever used. Simply powerful and awesome. Will try to get some time one day to write more about this awesome phone. Guess I'm now part of the iPhone owner group ? HAHAH =)
