never under estimate the power of cheap thrill! Lately I've been on a route of cheap thrill...
buying a pair of heels (erm, well the 3rd pair this month), having a glass of ice cold coke, pizza and hoegaarden combi on a sat night, ice cream and chips, painting my nails, aloe face mask, having Sunday breakfast with friend, exchanging emails, coin dozer, taking public bus/train, shopping, people gazing, and many many more...
each and every never fail to make me happy and smile :) its like aphrodisiac, keeps me high and love...
so yeah, I love cheap thrill!

what's next?
a mth back from my trip from down under...had an amazing time with friends...
an unexpected surprise, swept my feet away to 3127miles.
recharged and getting ready for festive rush, so excited coz this yr will be another amzing year for us. If everything goes as plan, we will be making statement in the market again. *cross fingers* have faith!
Its National Day today, Happy 45 years of Independence, Singapore!
I was born in the era of developing Singapore to developed Singapore, as follows...
MRT, the change of non air con SBS bus to double decked bus, 20cent to $1.00 of shutter service, ERP, pple using MRT as another avenue of committing sucide Esplanade,
how HDB flat used to be piling, now its lego brick building, more pigeon holes...more of us paying ridiculous amt for that tiny pigeon holes
the IT boom, the burst of the IT bubble, the recession, unfortunately I graduate in the year of recession
how Singaporean help to boost the our friendly neighbour retail industry, pump petrol, stock up grocery
our 1st elected President, the death of our presidents, our nation heroies, my 1st voting experience
the change of a post office to Fullerton Hotel, Ngee Ann City, facelift of Far East Plaza, the most expensive maid hangout to ION Orchard, revamped on Mt Faber, VIvoCity, Integrated Resorts, Universal Studio, Spore Flyer, Temasek Poly new campus, Stephanie Sun, Zouk > Venom > Dbl O > Bar None > MOS > St James Power Station, tea dance, bengs and lians,
me from a grease monkey to a marketer, how I struggle during juggling part time studies & work, no I didn't ace my grades...I stuggle to stay awake during class, the amazing amt of alcohol I intoxicated during my party days, travelling alone, single, first kiss, break up, attached again, break up again, attached again, and break up again, mmm I think I lost counts... had amzing friends,
Parent 25th wedding anniversary, Daddy finally retire, Kor got married, the addition of 3 new members to my family (the youngest is screaming now)
so what's next? I will survive....

爱情=游戏???
我不懂为什么真心换来的是谎言
付出换来的却是伤害
所以我不再相信爱情
我也害怕付出我自己的感情
我也不相信世界上会有什么所谓的珍爱
甚至爱情小说里的一生一世的相恋
只是出现在小说里的情节吧
爱情只是一个短暂的游戏吧....

*tear*
It breaks my heart to see my second home being attacked by Typhoon Morakot. People are missing and recuse works aren't fast reacting.
Thank God my dear friends are safe and sound.
雨过后，一定会是晴天
不在的家人有天使陪伴
不见的家园一定能重建
大家要加油

Discover Malacca
Our dept went over the Malacca for a short weekend. By short I went really short, since its 4hrs up and 4hrs down...
Coach was good and traffic was a breeze. But the weather was a killer, especially lugging "my" trusty crumpler walking 2 traffic lights, cross the bridge to our hotel. Its not wise.
We bumped into first makan place on our list, couldn't resist the temptations. Got to recharge...
Look at the yummy food!!! Tiny rice balls, just the right size for me, still room for other food.
Up next, the true true reason why boss came on this trip...
Chendol!
May I just say this is heaven! The gula melaka is so powerful! This roadside store is right in front of the red house, served by the indian man.
Finally, after miles of walking...we got to our nice hotel
Hotel Puri - the house of Tan Kim Seng. This place is so rich on culture on its own. Its also the same place where they filmed Little Nyonya
this place is just so nice...
We finally checked into the room, washed up a little and out to discover Malacca. Of course we did tourisy stuff to the must visit
Off we went to the local mall for some serious shopping. Girls are uncontrollable when they hit the malls. Fake Eyelahes going at 50% off, thats less than SGD1.50 after conversion, earrings at 20% off - thats SDG$5, when the similar design going at avg $30 at Accessorize.
Dinner at Local favourite Nyonya Restaurant called 亲切, Ole Sayang
I love the prawn in plum sauce, so lovely. The Salted Veg Duck Soup kiss-ass. I wished I brought two stomach along.
We also went to The Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum, a few units away from our hotel.
does this look familar? heehee....
I left the place wanting more to explore, so little time, so much to explore. And of course, I had the most chendol in the entire life I can ever eat.

I do Idou
I've been thinking of changing my hp for a few weeks since my trusty SonyEricssion K800i is showing signs of retirement.
Blacky is a good phone, sleek, wide screen, a beauty of its time.
I'm a sucker for the 3.2mega pixel camera phone which takes super nice pictures. yeah yeah, technology has evolve, but back then, 3.2mega pixel is a great deal!
After weeks of searching, trying to match the different phone functions, specs, design and most importantly camera resolutions to my needs... (yup, girls do read the specs and instead of buying pretty things)
Look what I've found...
picture courtesy from MobileBurn.com
The new Idou (or now known as Satio, so I read) by SonyEricsson. Its touchscreen, kickass 12.1mega pixel camera and its in red! my favourite colour! *bimbo*
pls, bring in to s'pore soon..... *plead*

The Taste of Taiwan
I found my temporary antidote to I-miss-Taiwan-food
Presenting 卤肉饭 (stewed pork rice)
The stewed pork is fragrant and simply yummy! But the down side was that the rice are not the same texture as those in Taiwan streetside stall...
still the taste is the closest of all that I've tasted so far..
Another recommendation - Chinese Herbal Duck
The crispy roasted skin together with the herbal gravy is a perfect match. The aftertaste of the herbs is delightful. The wolfberries added colours to the dish and were my personal favourite.
The Man and I ordered their signature fried rice
the cantonese styled was a mismatched to the Taiwan themed.
The store had Taiwan street side stores pictures plastered on the wall, its almost as though you are in the night market. You can't miss this store since its right in front of the escalator. Crowd was not too bad for a Tuesday night.

bad work week
last week was the worst week I ever had (till now) in office. Can't believe that I'm treated in this manner by my own team mates. sigh!
老板都没给我脸色看，我还要看你们两个的脸色
fustration!
But I'm on leave today, and I won mj yesterday with the folks! haha! Beat Daddy, Mum and Kor, I am lucky!
I'm going to Malacca this weekend, with the same group of people who piss me off so badly I wanna bite their heads off, *meditate* I must curb my evil twin.....

yummy ramen
Personally, I'm not a big fan of ramen. Mostly because, for most of the offering, the soup is not tasty. My special instant noodle recipe can beat any raman hands down anytime.
However my perception of ramen changed totally when The Man brought me to this particular ramen joint. Its now 1 of our usual food joint, especially when you have a craving for powering soupy stuff.
I ordered salty pork ramen. Theres choice of rich or light. Obviously I went for the rich.
complete with a mug of Asahi *perfecto*
The egg is yummy, yolky. The yolk simply sink in between you teeth...soup is heavenly, can imagine the amt of pork loin the chef had to use to make this rich broth. He sure is generous.
other side dish includes
extra serving of chasui, made to perfection! Tender, fatty and flavourful. The fats totally melt in your mouth...hmmmm....
steam gyoza *pardon the bad lighting*
champion!
Another worth mentioning is the fresh spring onion. I'm a fussy-pot for spring onion, especially the diced ones. The Man never fail to give me the eye when I single picked out every diced spring onion in my dish. The not so fresh one has a foul taste. But not the spring onion here. Its so fresh, I finish every single one in my ramen, chasui, gyoza, and The Man's ramen!
The decorations and furnishings are simple and unassuming and the staff are really friendly. This is one place that do not need fancy menus and flashy decorations to attract customers.
mini fan, tissue box, free flow of water...
something you would love to tuck into on a friday night, enduring a whole week of nonsense from work...
