4:38pm @ EssoMobile petrol kiosk... iNO Handphone... made in Singapore product~ featuring big-and-cannot-missed buttons aimed at giving the elderly target market their cents worth for user-friendliness~ the phone even TELLS you which button you have pressed in audio form! Good to buy for your aged mom and dad~ (then again, it looks too much like a calculator... and what irks me the most is: why is it that nowadays, all new products start with an 'i' infront of the name?! iphone... inano... iservice... itoiletbowl... iradio... iTV... iRefridgerator... )

29 August 2009
Huge plate of Mee Rebus @ Parkway Parade's basement foodcourt... Yummy~
Oh, I bought my very first Toolbox... to me, I think buying a toolbox is a significant thing in a guy's life... earning the skills to be the household's handy man... to be skillful in the arts of repairing and fixing stuff... and be someone that others can rely on... Now to fill it with some tools... kekeke7:22pm... Spent some quality time with my gf at East Coast beach... enjoying the breeze and watching the sunset...

(the photo below is not the only plate we had...)... Oh, Tokkuri Restaurant serves very decent Japanese food at reasonable price. The staff are well-trained and superbly friendly too! They sure know their stuff! If there is anything else I could add, they pronounced the "Irashaimasen" correctly~
2:23pm... Back home in the Kitchen... mum and sis working on some cordycep powder... mom bought a couple hundred dollars of these chinese medicine...
and a huge bag of these empty dissolvable capsules....
so that she could pack the cordycep powders in... Sweet~ I love my mum.

Revenge Bikini

Revenge Bikini
via SankakuComplex:

BEHOLD THE GREATEST INVENTION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY!!!

Presenting the World's First Water Soluble Dissolving Bikini~ nicely nicknamed "Revenge Bikini"~ well if you have a girlfriend that you would like to avenge upon, or a female friend willing to accept such intimate a gift and wear it to the pool with you... hehehe...

This treacherous swimwear promises to fall to pieces after 3 minutes of contact with water, severely inconveniencing the wearer...Not convinced enough?
You can catch a trailer of this product testing here:


Watch the full version here.

You can buy the bikini at Euro 9.90 here.

Dragonball The Movie: Result
I got a chance to watch the VCD of this movie... and here's my judgement:
I was actually relieved after watching the VCD... that I didn't waste my money on this at the movie theatres...

Probably the only redeeming factor is Jamie Chung... Yummy~

August 2009: Part 1
Whoo~ how time flies, its August already...

01 August 2009
@ Golden Mile Complex... was hooked in by my ex-ex company as Events Coordinator-cum-B.S.B.H. (Bao Shuai Bao Hai) over this free-for-all Medical Checkup activity sponsored by the Thai Embassy...
Promotional poster like this on several pillars... doesn't it reminds you of this "Step Up" dancing movie from Hollywood some thing ago? This Thai Girl looks gorgeous though~ =p
I basically had the event site set up nicely for these volunteered group of doctors who came all the way from Thailand to give the people here free medical check-ups...
... and in the mean time (read: the rest of the day) I spent my time wandering around the entire Golden Mile Complex... Suphananong Muaythai Gym is located at a corner of level 3...
A tankful of Catfishes in very shallow waters... If the SPCA is looking at this, can someone there take some action? The sight is seriously gross... the water is murky... the tank super-duper-crowded... and the Catfishes seriously look like they can't wait to be chosen, bought, killed, and be eaten so they can go to heaven, rather than being kept struggling for space in that hellish tank.
Back at the event site, my job for the rest of the day was to ensure everything runs smoothly... its not a simple task though, as many would likely mistaken; it takes good PR networking skills, quick-wittedness, good sense of foresight and an acute-observance of the surroundings to tackle every little impromtu situations that might arise at anytime... Crappy things DO happen, at the most inconvenient time... and when it does, you'll find everyone looking upon you for a solution... and you have to make that executive decision on-the-spot and take responsibility for whatever you decide. Job pays well.
At the same timing and place... my ex-ex company was setting up another site nearby for a Singtel event the following day... Setting up is a fun thing to do... its almost amusing to be witnessing the entire thing happening... cuz these stuff mostly happens in the wee hours of the night... and not many ppl get the chance to see the back-end works... for a start, the Backdrop gets screwed tightly together... then the mega-sized PVC banner gets stapled down neatly...
Once the Backdrop gets lifted up (this darn thing is heavy ok... ) the front and back gets busy...
The carpenters will fix up the store-room behind...
... the AV fellas will move in their expensive equipment...
the tentage fellas will move in the stage brackets and spread the carpet...
6:24pm... Dinner that evening was Steamboat with my gf~ Yummy~
02 August 2009
Sunday! Yet another day @ Golden Mile Complex... the doctors are out on full force because Sunday is the day Golden Mile Complex gets the the most traffic...
blood-pressure station...
weighing stations...
the registration booth... just look at the queue...
Oh~ There is a story behind this... you see, Singtel has this weekly prepaid card roadshow downstairs... so while we're having this FREE medical check-up upstairs, they insisted that a dedicated VIP queue be given to their Singtel customers, so they have special privilege to be given the medical check-up on a priority basis... wah kao... like big deal! We merely gave them a pathetic little set-up here... chunked at a corner.
the diagnosis stations are meant for first come first serve...
meanwhile... the Singtel roadshow sets up their station downstairs...
Emcee You-Fa is a familiar face there... and he is enjoying the company and attention...
Height measuring station...
Queue for the ECG...
I took the free time to visit the stage...
Got the guys there some meals... poor AV fellas are always stuck at their station the whole day...
Lunch time! Its not very often we get the chance to lunch at Golden Mile Complex... afterall, its also called Singapore's "Little Thailand"... Thai-style beef-ball noodles... tastes pretty decent!

Sticky Mango Rice! A must try dessert!
The stage had groups of gorgeous girls taking their turns to perform... its band and songs the whole afternoon...
Fritillaria Pear juice... had sore throat that day... so I downed this bottle in like 3 mins?
05 August 2009

8:35am @ Causeway Point... getting ready to head over to JB for a long weekend!
@ JB again... Terbau City Jusco...
the long weekend is just perfect for a little getaway... for some good shopping... and good food!We love steamboat~!
Evening time... overlooking Sembawang from Megah Ria...
Dinner was seafood at Restaurant Todak! Its as crowded as usual...
Seafood was fresh and prices are reasonable!
We filled the table with food...
Caught sight of some tricks! Maybe the kopi tiam people might wanna learn from the waitresses at Restaurant Todak! They clip those softdrinks cans in-between the cups and managed to stacked them so high and cleared them off in one shot... damn efficient.
Restaurant Todak... Thumbs up~09 August 2009...
Just back in Singapore... @ Causeway Point Foodcourt... there is this one stall selling Zhar-Jiang-Mian... looks damn good... I tried it and I gave the thumbs up. This is probably the best standard I've eaten thus far...
My loots from the recent JB trip... Leather casing for my Nokia E71... LV design... kekeke... I got this at Rm 18.00. Thats like less than S$9.00~! Try getting one of these leather casing here in Singapore and even a dull black one would cost from S$18 to $25 each.
Adidas pouch for Rm 35.00~ I like it!
11 August 2009... Was a hectic day for me...

11:14am... sending pappy home... the injection will set the puppy down for 2 days....12:48pm... back at CGH... brother was hospitalized...12 August 2009
