Dinner @ Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar (Raffles City)

Just now had dinner at Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar @ Raffles City with Phyllis, Jasmine & Ling Fang. The restaurant style is like Marche except that this one serves mostly jap food. Not bad lah, but a bit ex i think.

After dinner, had some drinks and shared a cheesecake at Gloria Jean. And some catching up.

Haven seen Ling Fang for many years, ever since we graduated from poly. Hmm like 6 to 7 years i think. She still looks the same... Glad we still can keep in touch.

Sianz weekend

Siazz... tmr i be driving up to my dad's house in KL with my dad, mum, auntie and maid. How I wish the house was just in Johor?

Now that my bad tempered dad has retired, I really dunno how leh. Hope he can really find something to do.

Other than cooking and throwing his temper around.

Ok, c u all on tuesday.

Happy Birthday to Me, Myself & I

Today's my birthday. Its a Monday. Still have to wake up to go to work. Urgh!!!!

No plans at first. Plan to just go home after work. But end up go to k songs again. This time is at partyworld@safra yishun.

Ok lah, lesser people than yesterday, so can sing more songs. Then can also sing those songs that I got no chance to sing yesterday. Haaa....

That's all. 27 years old. Time really flies...

Birthday Celebration

Went to "The Line" at Shangri-La hotel with my family to have buffet lunch to celebrate my birthday in advance. The food there is not bad, especially the crab and oysters. The range of food is quite good. The food all taste nice in average. But the price is not cheap. 90++ per person. We pay like 640 bucks for 7 person. That was after 15% UOB credit card discount. Anyway I always have a problem after buffets - bloated stomach!!!!! I always tend to overeat when comes to buffet. Especially one that has so many nice nice food to eat. Hahaha

Anyway we left for home around 2pm++.

Then after that, I met my sec sch friends at causepoint for dinner. I couldnt eat much coz stomach still very full. We went to tian xiao er. The food there so so only lah. Anyway after that we went to party world@civic plaza to k songs. My friends bought a cake for me also. Ice cream one. Very hard to cut, but very nice to eat.. heeee.....

Demoralised.

Initially, planned to go Rendang for diving. Then season closed liao. So only next year then can go.

Initially, I was looking forward to my 1st perm staff bonus from my bank, from the lehman bros issue and the oncoming singapore recession, i reckon there wont be much of the bonus tat i will get.

Wad lehman bros' issue? My bank was one of the major lenders. One word to describe the plight that my bank is in. Suay.

So nothing to look forward really.

Just now I was reading an article on Yahoo News. "Stocks crash, but where did the money go?" So where did the money go? There was no money in the first place. Stocks go up or down due to people's mind. Meaning, if people think today the price this stock will rise, it rises. Vice versa, it falls.

Don't you think its very stupid, if you think about it. We are all in this plight now becoz we think we are. I think the gods up there are laughing til their stomach aches. Wad the hell these humans doing? Torturing themselves? Humans are working their asses off becoz of the tots of some people who think the stock will go up or go down.

Now people who invested their lifetime savings are all at loss. Dunno wad to do liao. Money all gone.

Damn. Really demoralizing when you come to think about it. All your effort and time spent on your job, then now you won't get what you deserved becoz the market is down now....

And to make things worst, 22% increased in electricity, and increasing transport fares.

Clubbing spree

For consecutive 3 weekends, i been clubbing.

20 Sep 2008 - Dbl O

27 Sep 2008 - St James Powerhouse

3rd Oct 2008 - Lunar

As though like back to the poly days. But the only difference is the hangover period seems like harder to get over. I was thinking, is it due to the quantity of the drinks (meaning I drink more than last time), or age (poly days was like 10 years ago).

I think age is a major factor. I cant deny the fact that turning 27 in 3 weeks time. Last twenties liao. Not young any more.

Then last tuesday night, when prawning with my colleagues at bishan. For 3 hours, I think I caught about 4 or 5 prawns haaaa.. So little leh. Then we bbq the prawns, but the meat very little only, not so nice actually. haa....

Secret Mission Outcome and Singapore GP

The outcome of secret mission is..... wrong mission. Haha... I think the event is open age group one. Got some ladies I think got 10 years older than me one. Then (i think) i am one of the younger guys there. Haa... So I think those specific age group events are more suitable lah.... But still haven overcome the shyness nature of mine. Wahaha...

Anyway, the singapore gp formula one was superb, i tell you. Never have i been so close-up to the racing cars. And i tell you, these f1 drivers are fantastic man. Look at the speed they are driving. crazy man. I think sgp is really a success. quite drama also, especially for the Ferrari team. Stupid mistake at the pit cause massa to drop from 1st to last. Took a few pictures and video. Turn up your speakers to experience the super loud sound made by these cars. Wear ear plug still very loud lor.

Alonso was the winner for Renault. Followed by Rosberg for Williams and Hamilton third for McLaren. Kimi from Ferrari was damn suay lor. He was in the last few laps when he crashed into the barrier. He was third at that time. And Hamilton was fourth. Too bad for Ferrari. A bad weekend for them in Singapore.

Think next year I will come and watch again.
