Things You Can Do To Help

With some information from Live Earth:

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

2. Buy locally produced meats and vegetables (That really can't happen cause most of our food are imported from other countries)

3. Bring your own water bottle to work. (Don't waste the paper cups)

4. Inflate your car tires, it increases your gas mileage (NOT inflating your OWN SPARE TIRES by drinking)

5. Turn down the hot water when bathing and switch off the heater after bathing - reduces electricity bills by alot

6. Switch off your monitor when you are downloading your 100 GB worth of porn stuff overnight.

7. Try to reduce the use of plastic bags when you are buying from supermarkets (Unless you are buying something which you need to hide...hmmmmmm)

8. Use energy saving light bulbs (Yes even when you have a bright idea in your mind, use energy saving one)

9. Print papers in economy mode if it is just draft printing (More porn pictures to stick on your walls????)

10. Switch off the lights when sleeping (That includes bedtime sex, if you have night blindness, just do it when it's daylight)

LIVE Earth


Tomorrow will be the start of the LIVE Earth performances from all 7 continents of the world (Shanghai, Sydney, Johannesburg, London, Brazil, Japan and the United States) from 7 pm to Sunday 7 pm. Yup 24 hours of performances with famous stars like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, Bon Jovi Etc. What's the purpose of this performance? It's the create awareness that our Earth is in danger of Global Warming.
As might have noticed, that the weather in the world has gone haywire, you see flowers blooming in winter, snow in summer for those with 4 seasons. For Singapore, not much difference except that it's getting hotter and of course, pray that we don't get hit by the haze from Indonesia. I remembered there was one day that the haze was really bad till I can't really see object which are 50 metres away.
Now does this concert really create any awareness about global warming? I must applaud Al Gore for his efforts in creating awareness about global warming in his talks and even has a documentary movie on it. But what I feel that people are just going to watch the concert JUST FOR THE SAKE OF WATCHING. After this concert, everyone will just forget about what's conservation of Earth. It should have some documentary in between the breaks to educate the viewers. I think it will get some message across.
Well in Singapore I see some start in conservation of plastic bags. Environmental bags are the latest fashion among aunties! I have started reject plastic bags when buying some small stuffs, so you guys should get started too!

Day 2 Macau (Night)

As the sky turns dark, we headed to the Macau Tower (澳門旅遊塔). Soaring 338 metres above the city, the Macau Tower is the 10th highest freestanding tower in the world and the 8th tallest in Asia. I just love to look at the bird's eye view of the cities at night cause looking at the lights, they look like pretty christmas trees and stars. To get into the tower, you must pay a fee. If I remembered correctly it's about 75 HKD per person. The ticket allows you to go up to two floors, the 58th floor, which is the air-conditioned indoor observation lounge, and the 61st floor which is the outdoor observation deck.

Observing from the 58th floor is breathtaking, city lights are so beautiful! And on the deck, there are these glass floors where you can look how high the tower is beneath your feet, quite scary for ppl who are scared of heights. But too bad it was raining before that so the floor was full of water droplets.


We went on to the 61st floor for a view, nothing much to see in the night except for a few stars in the sky. It's really really windy and cold there!

After Macau Tower, we went to try our luck in the Casinos, being in the land of Casinos, it would be a pity not to have a look at their casinos. Their casinos are just damn majestic, almost looked like a palace! Played the slot machines, haha won some at first then later lost.
We got hungry, we wanted to try this potato dish at a restaurant "Solmar". Hell took us a damn long time to find it. After lots of wrong turns and directions, we almost gave up. Then suddenly lp wanted to walked into another road and we found it! A woman's 6th sense is really good when they are hungry......


"Nothing can stop me from eating my potato!"

Day 2 Macau (part 4)

Next stop is back to Coloane Village (路環). Went to visit some of their historical buildings. One is the Chapel of St. Francis Xavier (聖方濟各聖堂).

The village is a quiet and serene place, away from the lifestyle of the city life. There you can watch the sea although the water seems really brownish. Lol. But you can feel that it has a laid back lifestyle.

The Church

Walked to the center of the village to a fountain. Dunno what fountain was it, maybe those who watched korean dramas might know?


The main draw of being in Coloane Village, is this: Lord Stow's Bakery PORTUGUESE EGG TART. OMG it produces the best egg tart I ever ate - FRESH! I just love the soft egg mash and the crispy pastry. Lovely! OH and I was so eager to taste it, I just gobbled the whole egg tart forgetting about taking a picture of it! Sorry guys! But if you are ever in Macau, this is a MUST TRY.

Next stop: Senado Square

We are now in Senado Square where it is the main tourist attraction. There's lots and lots of people there. Beautiful buildings.... when I came back and look at the photos, I felt that I was holidaying in Europe instead. It's also seem to be the main shopping district with lots and lots of apparel and clothes shop.

At the end of Senado Square is the Ruins of St Paul (大三巴), the historical trademark of Macau. But we didn't get to explore much cause the museum is already closed. Very romantic place kekeke.

The sky starts to darken.....

Day 2 Macau (Part 3)

This baby is so cute I just have to take a picture of her. After our nice lunch took another bus to Taipa (氹仔) for other glorious food. And that is where the famous "Pork Chop Bun" is located. I would say there is a place of good food haven. There are just so many food shops!

One of our first stop is to have dessert at the "Bitter Sweet" shop selling Serradura. Serradura is a kind of Macau pudding. It actually taste like your smooth ice cream. NICEEEEEEEE! After a short dessert break we went to the famous pork chop bun shop. It starts selling their bun at 3 pm, but you have to go there earlier to avoid joining the long queue. We the first few in the queue to buy, just seconds after we bought our bun, the queue was damnnnnnnn long! Whew! What actually made the bun so delicious is that the bun is actually charcoal grilled so that's what made it so goooooddddd. It costs 12 HKD for 1 bun. This is a must try when you are in Macau!

My Pork Chop Bun

After the bun, tried the bird nest Portuguese egg tart and milk egg tart. Delicious. But it is not the best I tasted so far. There's another Portuguese egg tart which I'll introduce later, is even better and I'll say it's the best in Macau!

Left:Milk egg tart, Right: Bird nest egg tart

Day 2 in Macau (Part 2)


Reached Hac Sa beach (黑沙海滩) in Coloane. It's still raining by the way. Ate at a recommended Portuguese restaurant there. It's a really good place for a relaxing lunch in the restaurant with a courtyard. They serve very good porks there. Ordered Stir-fried Clams (蛤蜊) with garlic and Pork ribs. The menu is in Chinese so I can't remember what is it called. There's even a roast pig. However I found it too common to eat roast pig, so ordered pork ribs instead.
Came our stir-fried clams. It's damn good! Lots of lots of clams! A shell lover will be drooling over this!
Then came our pork ribs. OMG it is really really really good! I haven't tasted such delicious pork ribs in Singapore! Dripping the lemon juice on the roasted pork ribs, then biting on the little meat on the rib bone, tasting the sweetness of the roasted oil and meat.

Heaven.

It just opened my appetite to eat even more pork ribs!

However what's more enjoyable..................

is having her with me.

Macau Day 2

Woke up in the morning to have our breakfast in Sendo Square (議事亭前地). When we reached there, it started to rain heavily! Luckily I brought an umbrella with us. But the rain really affected the places that we can go for photo taking. Ate at a famous Wonton restaurant in Macau at there. Delicious!

The restaurant's name


My delicious wonton noodles!


Braised noodles

After our fulfilling breakfast, it's time for other food! BEWARE... this is going to become a food blog. Walk to another street to eat puddings and cakes! As you can see on the left of my beautiful model's hand, the white cake is marshmallow pudding and the yellow one well.. I'm not sure, should be lemon pudding. The taste of both is light and wasn't very sweet. Almost tasteless but good for people who don't like sweet stuffs. On the right of her hands are different flavored puddings: Coconut, chocolate and errrm... the yellow one I forgot.
After a yummy dessert, we hopped on the bus to travel to the Coloane (路環) for Portugese food... Stay tuned!

Macau Day 1 (Night)

In the night, we went to the Fisherman's Wharf. It's a nice photo taking spot. There's different themes of building to take photo of. And along the whole fisherman's Wharfs road are bistros and restaurants, music and romantic lamp lights. It's a really good spot for couples to take a walk!


Eygpt


Rome


Beautiful streets.....


...and buildings!!

After a long walk in Fisherman's Wharf, we went to a famous porridge stall (Can't remember what road it is cause it's all in Chinese) to have this yummy porridge meat balls. OMG taste so good! The porridge is very watery and you almost can't taste the porridge rice grain in it but the it's full of taste from the long hours of boiling, but the main draw is the delicious meat balls. Yum yum! You can choose the type of balls you want like beef or pork. Good!

The Menu

We went to a dessert shop nearby which is also very well known for their desserts. I ordered their signature dessert which is a hot peanut paste soup with "tang yuan". It's damn good! The dessert is so tasty and smooth! Too bad I'm already really fun so can't finish it. By the time we finish eating, it's almost 12 am already. So we headed back to our hotel for a good nite sleep for Day 2 of Macau!

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

Macau Day 1

Reached the hotel and proceeded to check-in. Well the hotel staff upgraded our room from the standard to superior room free of charge. The only thing that we have to wait till 4 pm before we can check in. So we dumped our luggages at the hotel and went out to have our dinner and some sightseeing. Ok, so ermm we were quite lost on where to go. So we took a cab to see the Guan Yin Statue. I'm sorry I can't provide you most of the street names cause Macau's streets are so confusing!
We reached the statue, but it suddenly started to rain! Luckily it wasn't long before the rain stopped and we get the chance to view the statue and visit the building inside. Pretty boring in the building. After that ate at a noodle house nearby. Delicious! We were soooooo hungry!!!

Pig intestine noodles

After eating, we went back to the hotel to have our complementary drinks and collect our room keys. Woo the room is quite big!! Even have space to run about! The hotel looked really nice. Took a rest before heading out again in the night.

More more to come!!

Macau 3D2N

Day 1 (9 June 07)

Woke up at 7.30 am to finish packing whatever stuff I need to put in my luggage. Although still feeling a little sleepy, I'm still very excited to have a holiday overseas! Reached the Budget Terminal around 9 am to check-in for the flight. It's a really no frills terminal, kinda empty with only a Han's restaurant there. Ate breakfast there before the flight cause Tiger Airways does not let passengers eat their own food in the plane. It's an almost 4 hour flight to Macau, so gotta have a full stomach before boarding the plane.

Sleepy Hitori

10.30 am, time to enter the gate. The immigration process is quite fast as the person only have to scan your passport and you are in. Then have to queue up to board the plane. Boarding the plane is unlike your usual boarding in Changi Airport. There's a stairs for you to climb up. You can feel the engine of the plane blowing. The plane took off at 11 am. 4 more hours to see LP in Macau!!

The plane arrived as scheduled into Macau at 2.40 pm. The airport there is really really small. Collected my luggage and met lp just outside the gates! So happy! We took a taxi to the hotel but OMG when we mentioned the hotel name, the taxi driver does not understand English at all! Luckily I have the address of the hotel plus lp's cantonese we are able to get there. Thank god! If it was me alone, I guess I'm stucked in the taxi! More to come soon!

Orchard Yong Tau Foo

Ate the Orchard Yong Tau Foo which I saw yesterday in Cuppage Plaza. Cause it was lunchtime and the shop was pretty small and packed. So we had to wait for a while before we can get a seat inside. Thank goodness we can preorder our selections while waiting. There's the dry and the soup versions. I tried the soup version. Ordered a bee hoon for my bowl. Finally we get our food, sat and eat. Wow it taste really good. Especially the soup, it's really tasty and does not taste like the usual Yong Tau Foo soup. Another winning part was the special sauce and chilli. The chilli sauce was really spicy but adds lots of flavour to your fishballs, tou fu, ladyfingers etc.
7 selections for $3.50 + $0.50 for noodles. Quite of expensive for a bowl of Yong Tau Foo, but in the Orchard area, it's the kind of standard pricing.

Cuppage Building

Was going for lunch today when my colleagues and I decided to try the food in Cuppage building opposite Centerpoint. To my surprise there's quite good food there! I tried the BAK CHOR MEE (Minced Meat Noodles), it's delicious. The noodles texture was smooth and chewy and the taste was not too oily. A single prawn included was chewy and fresh. The only thing is the soup that comes with it was too peppery. Selling at $3, it's value for money as the serving was quite big.
I've also heard there's a Yong Dou Fu stall in the building that is very popular among the working people in Orchard road. Didn't get to try it today cause there was a long queue for it.

Prices of milk in S'pore goes up, sugar prices fall

A PRICE survey of 40 milk and sugar products retailing at major supermarkets in Singapore shows a hike in the prices of condensed and evaporated milk, and certain brands of fresh milk. Sugar, on the other hand, saw a slight dip in prices, or remained the same.
The survey conducted by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) was in response to recent concerns of product price hikes from members of the public and milk suppliers.

CASE requested for the price information of milk from Carrefour, NTUC Fairprice, Giant, and Sheng Shiong supermarkets in March and May respectively for a basis of comparison.

Condensed milk and evaporated milk

The price increase for condensed milk ranged from $0.10 to $0.50, which means the prices for some brands of condensed milk have gone up by nearly 45 per cent.

Nestle Milkmaid High-Calcium condensed milk shows the steepest price increase from about $1.10 to $1.60, while Dutch Lady condensed milk showed the smallest increase in price with a $0.10 hike.

The price increase for evaporated milk ranged from $0.15 to $0.47, marking a percentage increase of between 18 per cent to 48 per cent. The brand for evaporated milk that saw the steepest price hike is Nestle's Carnation Full Cream milk, from $0.90- $1.40 to $1.30- $1.70.

Fresh milk
Of the seven brands of fresh milk that CASE surveyed, the prices of four brand of 1 litre milk have increased across the board.

Marigold Hi-Lo Fresh milk, Magnolia Fresh milk, Farm House Fresh milk, and Daisy Fresh milk all saw price increases ranging from $0.10 to $0.55 for their products.

CASE says price-sensitive consumers can opt for supermarket housebrands as a cheaper alternative to cope with the price hikes. For instance, a can of Carrefour's 510g Big Saver condensed milk costs $1.10, while a 397g can of Fairprice condensed milk costs $0.90.

Going by cost per unit, these alternative brands sell for almost half the price of Nestle Milkmaid High-Calcium condensed milk.

CASE noted that not all supermarket chains practise a one-price policy. This means that prices may vary across the different outlets belonging to the same supermarket chain.

However, NTUC Fairprice and Giant supermarkets have said that it practices a one-price policy across all its outlets.

CASE said it will continue to monitor the prices of common household items and carry out periodic surveys.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

ZODIAC SIGN DETAILS
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
Born on Wednesday, May 30, 1984
Age 23 years
You have lived 8,400 days!
(Warning: Your system date must be set to the current date)

Symbol: The Twins
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Air - Mutable - Positive
Day Forces - Masculine
Growth Phase: The Child
Secret Motivation: "I Think"


GEMINI IN A NUTSHELL
The sign of the Inventor, the Artist

Personality: Mentally energetic and enquiring, restless, artistic, fickle and contrary, witty versatile, joyous and full exuberance.

Positive Qualities: Witty and pleasant, versatile, brilliant, enthusiastic, diplomatic and tactful, cheerful and gay.

Negative Qualities: Indecisive, untidy, self-centered, careless, indifferent and cruel, lacking staying power.


PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER
Thinks too much! Gossip, neighbors, relatives, magazines, letter- writing and trips are his or her forte. Nervous, unnerved by routine. Variety is the spice of life! Can talk almost about anything. Clever with hands. Sometimes too clever. Imitative. Skims and absorbs, rather than concentrates. Like Peter Pan, they will grow up. Critical of surrounding. Adaptable to circumstances.


KARMIC MISSION
To communicate - in a mental, aggressive, dynamic and idealistic manner.


ENERGY PATTERN
Each of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac represents specific energy patterns, or modes of expression. They act as modifiers of the elements with which they are associated, be it a Planet or a House. Gemini is abstract curiosity seeking to form a picture of the world, and to communicate those perceptions to others.


INFLUENCE OF THE PLANET
Those born under Gemini and Virgo are the Mercury type. You are often slim, of average height, have a small bone structure, large eyes, and intelligent expression, mobile features and an amiable disposition. You are inquisitive, restless and high-strung, but very adaptable, which is a strong point in your favor.


DECAN INSIGHT
Each zodiac sign extends across 30 degree of the Zodiac. These can be further subdivided into three decans of 10 degree each. Therefore, though all those born under a particular sign are classified under the same sign, the decans yield further insight into your total personality.

You belong to the First Decan of Gemini (May 22 - May 31).
Your ruling planet is Mercury. You often have exceptional mental brilliance. You are also very hospitable and dependable, having some Taurean traits as well. A good friend, full of ideas, yet practical. You are good at noble causes and the graphic arts.


GEMINI LOVE MYSTERY
Gemini is well known for the multiplicity of affairs, attachments and even marriages. You need a steady base and ought to realize that a marriage implies a shouldering of responsibility, not playing the field. You are at your best in casual flirtations, spreading happiness but also breaking hearts. You are the classic example of the person with a roving eye and you really don't care to be tied down. Lasting attachments will only come with a change of attitude. Marriage also implies security, home, children, steadiness of income and lifestyle and not just fun and games. You may not approve, but will need to rethink regarding your attitudes to attain marital happiness. Marriage may get you down, though you love and look after your family, interact well with your spouse and even in-laws. It's just that you can lose interest, so you should look for a stable partner, or one who can live it up with you. Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, even Leo or Aries are fine.


SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS
Sex plays an important role in the life of every man and woman. It lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to revere life until we know how to understand sex. Indian astrological science attributes certain sexual characteristics to persons according to the sign under which they have been born.

You have a weakness for opposite sex and are very clever at winning them over. But it is not easy to retain your love or interest. You love with your head, and not with your heart.


AS A FRIEND
Gemini reciprocates love and blossoms with a little appreciation. A good friend and an amusing one, for the most part. Though sometimes you feel hard done by, and that others don't care as much. You are always young at heart and the life and soul of many a gathering.


COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SIGNS
The following section tells you about your compatibility with other zodiac signs in friendship, business, family or love relationships. The basic foundation will remain unchanged, though mutual aspects between planets will modify the relationship to a certain extent in a positive or a negative way.

Ideal Association (5-9 Sun Sign Pattern): Libra and Aquarius
Not always, but surprisingly often, the extraordinary magnetism of 5-9 Sun sign attraction leads to easy sympathy, mental stimulation, emotional affinity, romantic fulfillment. There will be a strong sympathy between you and misunderstandings will not be severe or lasting. The chances for harmony are excellent, and a happy relationship on a permanent basis is more effortlessly achieved than with any other sign - be it friendship, business, family or love relationships. Hostile placement of planets between the two horoscopes will cause some personality clashes and tensions - causing the compatibility to rock from time to time - although the basic empathy and understanding will always remain. If the planets are in harmonious aspect, your relationships with these people will be most extraordinarily happy, smooth and sympathetic.

Ideal Association with some Problems (7-7 Sun Sign Pattern): Sagittarius
Not always, but frequently, you either get physically attracted to or secretly admire and respect each other - in case of opposite sex. The individual possesses the qualities of character and personality traits you yourself lack. The urge to imitate will be strong. However, in case of same sex, you may become strongly competitive and feel uneasy or envious. Mutual aspects between other planets somewhat modify the relationship positively or negatively.

Compassionate Association (2-12 Sun Sign Pattern): Cancer
In your association with this individual, one of you will feel that he or she has many lessons to learn from the other. The one who has lessons to teach will feel an inexplicable compassion for the weaknesses and mistakes of the other person, strangely understanding the other's markedly different motives and behavior.

Favorable Association (3-11 Sun Sign Pattern): Aries and Leo
You will feel a strong tie of friendship, whatever the association you share with these individuals. Mutual trust and ease of communication mark the relationship. In spite of strong differences, you connect closely with each other. A sense of responsibility and some sort of inescapable duty will bring you together. You will constantly stimulate each other into changing habits and existing situations. Any quarrels will usually be quickly resolved, forgiven and forgotten. Even when the association seems to be a closed chapter, it reappears months or years later, to be resumed once more.

Beneficial Association (6-8 Sun Sign Pattern): Scorpio and Capricorn
There will be some problem in communication. Yet you will be powerfully drawn into each other. Irresistible sexual attraction in case of a love relationship. In case of friendship, business or family ties, attraction through some shared interest. Urge for mutual help. Service given will always be repaid. In some way, a great benefit will come from one to the other through the relationship, and the one who serves will usually remain loyal.

Reflective Association (1-1 Sun Sign Pattern): Gemini
You will each be tempted to magnify your own virtues and failings. All the positive character traits will be intensified - as will the negative traits. A constant effort should be made to encourage in one another the positive qualities of the zodiac sign you both share and to discourage the negative ones.

Unfavorable Association (4-10 Sun Sign Pattern): Virgo and Pisces
Not always, but surprisingly often, you will feel a noticeable tension or conflict of personality in the presence of these individuals. One of you may grow restless because of the strict disciplinary attempts of the other. For various reasons, there will always be some mental and emotional restriction.

Take a quick look at what is lucky for you.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Watched it today after work cause I guess I won't be catching it during the weekends. Took the 4 pm slot show. I would say this is the final part of the trilogy of pirates, and it's pretty good! Although the plot is REALLYYYYY confusing (since it's continued from the previous movie), but the action and dialogue makes up for this shortcoming. Jack sparrow is great, Babarosa is funny, lots of funny backstabbing and oh, Kiera Knightley is soo sexy. It's a long movie, but you won't feel that it's draggy. Good show. 4/5 stars.

Award AGAIN??!!

Got a call from the Army. Freaked me out. I thought I was called for reservist or something. Actually just to ask me to receive an award on their Pride's Day. Sorry I'm not free and also not interested in receiving another useless plaque. Just give me money, not a brick!

Saturday, May 12, 2007

LOL

This is really funny! Got this from Kenny Sia's Blog. Seems like a commercial for a Bank.



For some who may not know, PUKI means Vagina in Malay Language. LOL.

I'm not your maid

Met another type of customer today:

The "I have no hands" customer: They expect you to be their slave and seems that everything should be done by you, even it is just writing a simple name or number when they are actually literate. Please bring your maid from your own home!

Wednesday, May 09, 2007

I'm not your fucking prostitute

Just today, the mass of customers is really overwhelming. It's like a mad house! Imagine a bank with almost 100 over people trying to fight over a queue or keep asking stupid questions, or fucking you for not doing something which is not even in your job scope. Screaming customers, pitiful customers, angry customers, stubborn customers. Almost seen it all today. Well sometimes I can understand their situation where the bank didn't even give them a clear instructions, but some just dun even bother to read the letter which the bank sent. Idiot. Some of the Perm staffs are really BITCH, just keep tell you to do this, do that and she herself just stand at one corner looking at the show. Anyway the process is really fucked up. It comes down to one thing - miscommunication. The ones who is overseeing this exercise don't even bother to update the branches on what is happening.

Here are some of the customers I met and seen:

The "when is my turn?" customer:
This one will come to you every 5 minutes to ask you when will be his/her turn even you told her that hers will be next in 2 hours time. Irritating.

The Patient customer: He/She will be willing to wait till the end of time even you told them that it might take forever to wait. Probably has all the time they have in the world. Good and willing to listen to your instructions.

The "I have a lunch appointment" customer: These are fuckers, they will demand that they must be served as fast as possible and stop nothing to keep complaining and demanding that they have to right to be served first even though they are just a normal customer.

The "queue jumper": Another fucker, this one jumped the queue and even demand that they have the right to jump the queue, making other poor people unhappy.

The "I don't care" customer: These just don't listen what you explain to them, even it is the procedure. They just demand what they want it to be done. Deaf.

The "Please Fuck me" customer: Enough said, their looks is enough for you to pok them in the face - even they done nothing wrong.

Days in OCBC

I'm tired. Even though it's just been only 3 days, but I'm really tired from standing for 7 hours a day, talking to customers, trying your best to please them. Worse, you get fucked by them for just doing your job. You just dread to meet this kind of customers especially when they thought they are rich and deserved to be treated like a king. Sad sad sad there's nothing to look forward to, not pay, not weekends. Only can look forward to finishing the contract which is the end of June and a vacation.
