Really sorry to anybody who bothers to come into my blog for updates. There's something wrong with the format of my blog & while I'm desperately imcompetent in HTML, it didnot stop me or my friends from helping me. One day, decided to try a new blog skin, hoping it would bring everything back to normal but all my additional stuff like the musci playing in the background as well as the links to my friends blog is gone. Everything except the actual posts.
Sigh.
Shit has hit the ceiling fan.
I know I should update more often but everytime I look at the damage, it is too painful to continue.
Any HTML experts out there willing to lend a hand, please let me know. Maybe I should move to a new address but I will keep you guys informed.
Ja neh!!!

Man Utd is 5 points clear in the EPL
It has been a while since I have watched ann EPL match. Most of my time is spent as a slave for the company as I have been promoted to GM (General Man) recently & have so many loose ends to tie up. Really missed the times just after graduation, with not a care in the world & all the time you want.
Going to Changi Village, Bedok 333 kopitiam, hotel lounges to catch the matches have been the highlight of my weekends during that period of time. I still miss those places but as life goes on, sometimes your priorities change.
Anyway, enough lamenting about the past & a little shout-out to the good & capable people at Old Trafford who are doing a marvelous job in the EPL at the moment. 5 points clear with the cloest rivals due to meet sunday night (SG time). Maybe I should relive the good old days & pick a place to watch the clash of the titans (Liverpool & Chelsea are still excellent clubs with rich heritage despite the speed bumps they have encountered so far).
Ja neh!!!

Ritz Carlton's Ultimate Valentine Day's Package
One of my favourite pastimes is spending the weekend in hotels where there's nothing to clean up, the air conditioner is switched on all the time without someone nagging that the electricity bill is getting higher by the month, & of course relaxing in the bathtub surrounded by bubbles & watching the telly.
Ritz Carlton is a hotel very very high up on my lost of preference & since Valentine's day is round the corner, they have come up with the "Ultimate" package for rich playboys to pamper a very lucky girl.
After the briefest of consideration, I quickly made up my mind who is lucky enough to spend this day with me in the lap of luxury. All considerations are entirely non-biased & meritocratic. Past performance over the past year from the day after last year's Valentine's Day to date is the deciding factor & while there has been no obvious leader in the race, which makes it very difficult indeed to choose just one girl.
It was always you girl.
Ja neh!!!

Speedtest (Bandwidth Tester)
I've been complaining forever about the erratic download speeds that my ISP (hint, it's green in colour) has been providing & while I was at Aeon's home (yes, that is his chosen name), he showed me a cool website where I can do a little bandwidth test to see how it compares with his speeds (which by the way seem so much faster & stable than mine. His ISP is red in colour in case you are wondering which colour camp he belongs to.
His upload & download speeds are almost half mine so what really is going on? I should be enjoying twice the experience he is getting.
Oh well.
What is your bandwidth?
Crap, I didn't realize the name of my ISP is shown.
Ja neh!!!
Jeff Dunham - Spark of Insanity
These are old videos from Jeff's Spark of Insanity series which I assumed have been removed from the official website to make way for Jeff's latest video series Very Special Christmas Special. You can find short snippets of it on his website.
I got to know about this really excellent ventriloquist when my mana123 told me about this really racist puppet called Achmed the Dead Terrorist which was funny as hell (Hell very farnie meh???). One thing lead to another (as they always do) & Jef-fa-fa has a new fan. Me!!!
Ja neh!!!
Ferrari California
The latest offering from Italian supercar marque Ferrari is a Grand Tourer cum hard-top convertible with direct fuel injection, 7 speed double-clutch gearbox & well over 400bhp. Before this model came along, the F430 Spyder was the automatic hoice for any billionaire playboy under 30 years of age, but now the choice has just gotten a little harder to make.
The video shows a review by Fifth Gear & it seems rather positive. Since it costs around the same as a Ferrari F430 Spyder albeit the 200kg weight disadvantage, it just might fit into what I want from a car in the very near future.
Ja neh!!!

The Coffee Nation
It has been a while since I had an entry in my blog, so I just want to share with you people a place I recently "discovered" while waiting for a friend who wanted to meet up for coffee. For the record, the owners did not offer to compensate me for the publicity (or lack of it).
Located along Bali Lane, which can be equally inaccessible whether you drive or not. Not many bus services serve this area & it is not located inside a shopping center that is located above a MRT station. Parking is totally limited too.
What I like about this place is that a few graduates came together & wanted to have a place to hang out. Not too commercial like Coffee Bean & Tea leaf or Starbucks. It is homely yet suitable to meet people to discuss serious stuff.
It is quiet. Sometimes too quiet that you worry if the place is making enough money to stay afloat. You know the feeling when you find a really decent place to hang out & it closes down because it is not making enough money?
There is a nice corner with really comfortable sofas. At the other end of the 2nd storey near the stairs & toilet, there is another corner where you can sit on the floor & sip your coffee placed on a low coffee table. Light snacks like fries & wedges are available if the hunger pangs get to you.
The highlight of this place would be the free Wifi that is available as well as numerous power points to juice up your lappy if the need arises. A lot of though has been put into planning what the owners really want & also keeping up with modern times where people work away from their desks & laptop computers become more common place.
Prices are reasonable & service & prompt & polite. Prompt & attentive but never to intrusive.
This might be my new hangout as it is located near my workplace & it doesn't cost anywhere near an arm or leg to spend the hours if you have time to spare.
Last but not least, here is the official website of this really nice place.
Ja neh!!!

Yummy Mee Hoon Goreng
Yummy Food.. Mee Hoon Goreng.. My all time favourite hahhaa.. miss the one at bedok which i alway went with junkie when watching soccer.. long time since we last went there. are you hungry?
Chocolates
Was walking around Vivocity when I passed by the really BIG Candy Empire stall. It must be every kid's fantasy to own a store like this. It is my destiny to have a really big house in the near future & have a section of my kitchen just like Candy Empire, with all sorts of candies & chocolates & snacks like the ones sold here. I also wan a bar as well stocked as any bar you find in our watering holes but that wil come in another post.
What I like about this place is they import varieties of familiar brands that are not sold here. For example. the Chunky Kit Kat. We used to have only peanut better (even they have stopped importing this, I wonder why), caramel & something else which I can't recall. Cookies & Cream Chunky Kit Kat is not something you find even in our high end supermarkets but the people at Candy Empire did so.
Walked around the chocolate section & have to limit myself to 3 bars of chocolate as shown in the picture. OMG!!! The average price is about SGD$3 per bar so thats SGD$10 of chocolate sitting in my tiny plastic bag. So SO SOOOOOOO expensive.
I guess I should give myself a treat once in a while, even though I am in shape. Round is a shape.
Ja neh!!!
