Bus No 31

Every morning, I need to take bus 31 to work and in the process vie with the 1,000,000,000,000 ITE student whom are going to school. Somehow this morning, the upper deck of the bus is so noisy and irritating !!! No prize in guessing "who" is ranting !!! Starts with "K".

If i have super powers, I will glue their mouth up !!!

Halfway there, raining 猫貌狗狗 somemore !!!! In the end have to take a cab in :(

The Yamaha PSR-E303

One of the recommended keyboard by Juliet, good and cheap, so my friend went to get yesterday. Was selling $350 at yamaha with the adaptor, but heard and believe the some other places might be cheaper, so went to check out carrefour and "dark side". Carrefour didn carry yamaha, so we have to go to the "dark side" ! And really ... "dark side" is much cheaper, $259 +$29 for the adaptor ! $288 only ... thought maybe is "water goods" but no leh, 1 year warranty by yamaha.

Hordes of people at the "dark side" !!! There are just endless flow of people from point to point in fast motion, not sure where they are heading. Staying any longer will risk being "KLrize" any minute.

哪一段往事值得回味
哪一份感情是最珍贵
哪一些争吵有错与对
哪一次固执变成后悔

哪一寸光阴能够追回
哪一对萤火虫还在飞
哪一阵风还在那儿吹
哪一片大海的浪在推

哪一本书能深深体会
哪一张脸深刻的跟随
哪一颗星星是最明媚
哪一夜的思念最...

哪一个人曾让你陶醉
哪一个人曾让你疲惫
哪一个人曾让你流泪
哪一个人曾让你心碎

Replugged - Lesson 1

I was somehow very sleepy before the lesson, maybe of the "death" wait after work. At least, the lesson perk me up, most probably interest is there ... melody, chords, accompaniment, notes, sharp, flat, fingering ... C D E F G A B C D E ... Though I can play off the melodies of most songs by listening to them ... but the challenging part starts now

2 hands playing different stuff ? playing combination of notes at different pace different beat at different tone at different chords at different keys ? Hmmmmm ... Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice ..... ?

Well, only lesson 1 ... we ll see how it goes

Another item retired !

One of my 17" CRT monitor decided to call it day, SPC. Don't think most people knows his brand, but it has been working hard for at least 7 to 8 years. Sigh ... is time for it to go. So I got Philips 19" LCD at $390 last weekend, the 190S7FB, average specs, black in colour. Target was to get a Samsung one but Philips wins as it got 1 more year on-site warranty, Samsung was nicer in design though, curvy in the corners, same price.

Recollecting back ... seems like alot of items kaput this year,

TV, Sony replaces Mitsubishi
Mobile phone, N70 replaces N6630
Motherboard, Asus replaces MSI,
Washing machine, LG replaces National

Finger crossed, other stuff stays fine :)

"Tau 花" session

Somehow ... the beancurd city shop was closed last night ... leaving the original one opened ... maybe that is why no more "Tau 花" ... only left the ones that was already packed ... it is quite sweet ... drenched in syrup for don't know how many hours ... will killed off any diabetic patient with few seeps

Hmmm ... now it sells unhealthy food also ... 油条 ... 韩志朋 ... but looked soggy and was soggy ... no fight with the 油条 from 豆浆大王 in Geylang ... if you see how they deep fried the doughstick then you will know why is it so nice

SaMe wants me to get Click for him to pass to a gal ... 小动作 ? not sure what he is up to ... his thinking too SaMe sometimes ... and WOW !!! they have something in common ... which is afraid of heights ... that will increase the chance of them liking each other ... being together by maybe 5,000,000,000% ... I also have something in common with that pretty gal in Pool Junction just now ... we brushed our teeth at least once a day :)

Ermmm ... but one quite important thing ... which is ... my friend has to find out whether she is interested or not ... maybe 2 years later at another "Tau 花" session ... he will get Click3 from me !!

Cabbie

At around 11 pm ... cabs are coming to the taxi stand ... hmmmmm ... never mind ... got in ...

Cabbie : just finished work ?
Me : Nah ... went out
Cabbie : You can take a nap ... I know how to go ... wake you up once we are there
Me : *hmmmmm ... first time i heard this* Oh okay

Somehow was not that sleepy ... maybe I looked sleepy or tired to the cabbie ... and also maybe he was abit 烈火战车 ... couldn't doze off ... then close to the PIE exit ... maybe around 150 m to 200 m away ... he was at 110 km/h at the most right lane !! ... but he somehow managed to "tokyo drift" over and made the exit !!!

Anyway ... made it alive

He even opened the door for me with switch near his seat ! :)

Last Friday@Ma Maison

A Japanese restaurant in Bugis Junction with kinda of western style food ... decor and environment is dark ... wooden furnitures ... is like cowboys walking into a western saloon ... with waitress clad in kimono ...

First time here for me ... the last attempt to come here was not a good one ... it only allows physical queuing outside ... and that time the KL-"japanese" waitress was quite determined to deter us from eating there ... citing difficult get that number of seats ... need to wait quite long ... blah blah blah ... was just waiting for her to tell us the restaurant's food sucks so do you still want to queue ?

This round we waiting quite a while also ... 30 mins or more ... but at least we got in ... is the usual friday night out ... with the extra agenda ... to see the last ( okie maybe last is not a good word to use ) of our friend who will be flying to Perth to continue his "Can I get 20k a month or will flung anytime soon" course

The beef straganov butter rice was highly recommended ... looks good in the picture ... we had some snails for starters ... hmmmmmm ... snails ... if snails was the name on the menu ... maybe will put people off ... no wonder the Eiffel Tower people called them Escargots .. cooked in butter and garlic ... quite nice ... then the beef rice came ... it taste good with the buttery rice and the sauce ... but somehow they can't get enough cows to give us more beef ... hmmmmm

Anyway ... we got charged a bottle of wine for the price of a glass :)

疯狂的石头

This movie has been getting good reviews and box office results in china ... though a bit sceptical on my side how funny and good can it be ... is a movie in china with cast of china artisties ... produced by first focus ... Andy Lau's company ... But the movie was so good and entertaining that a KL came to watch !!!! alone 3rd row from the screen !!!! enjoying his corn in a cup before movie starts !!!! Whatever ... back to the movie

Quite a confusing start to the movie ... maybe because not familiar with cast or the different groups of people appearing and with their own agenda ... basically the story is about a precious jade stone which was found and then showcases in a factory ... and was suppose to be auction off so as to save the factory which is in financial troubles ... but with no money ... who to guard the stone ? an employee of the factory ... a jaded ex-dectective and his ka kia ...



When the action starts ... the plots thickens and coincidences ... complexities ... confluences ... and comical moments in galore ... kinda of like "lock stock and 2 smoking barrels" ... "Snatch" ... "Ocean Eleven" .... and some scenes are shot in "forwarded" motion ... is like it gives you the result of the original action ... and later ... "replayed" back the process of the "action to the result"

There are these group of people

The Protector : The ex-dectetive and his ka kia
The Unscrupulous Son
The Villian Propery Developer
The "Expert" ... hired by the villian developer to steal the stone
The 3 Stooges Con-men

Hilarious scenes are aplenty ... which are near to Stephen Chow's 无哩头 style ... there are a few hints on China itself ... the Expert who got his stuff snatch without being notice at point blank with the "covered your eyes guess who i am" trick ... and the equipment that the Expert bought in China to help him steal the stone ... all wasn't the expectation ! Like the Mission Impossible style lowering rope kit ... die die die die die a few cm short for him to reach the stone !

Indeed was as per the reviews the movie is getting ... a very good choice if you need a good laugh ... crazy stone gets 8/10 from me for simply being pure entertainment ... complicated yet effective plot with a single catalyst, the crazy stone

Thursday@Q Bar

Min 26 years old for Guys ... 23 for Ladies ... Not sure why these restriction ... most probably to project a certain image for the hangout ... Not much people on a thursday ... Wonder maybe is our last visit before they close down ... or normal for them on a thursday ... at one time ... I think the staff is more than the crowd

There is a Al Fresco area with large L-shape sofas ... inside is a small area with the bar counter and some sofa seats ... and a high couch area ... second floor is the dance club ... apparently nobody feel like dancing last night ... the only people up there were the chairs ... tables ... chairs ... tables ... the bar counter of course



Bangkok Martini ... a very powerful drink ... so power that it can "SaMe" you ... not because of the generous alchohol composition but the concoction has chilli in it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The spike and choking you get when u get a sip or 2 restricts you from finshing it any quicker ... $13 for a mixture of chilli ... lemongrass ... coconut ... chilli overcomes everything in that glass !

Nothing fantastic/unique about the place ... maybe the huge sofas it has at the al fresco area which can accomodate large groups of people

But I must say the calamari not bad, but the proportion and the price does not relate at all !

A Great Way to Fly ?

Ever dreamt of flying a commercial plane ? Earning $20,000* a mth ? Actually any tom, dick, harry or SaMe** can apply to be a pilot .... though to be selected needs to go through a series of interviews, tests and screening processes

After all these, if you are selected ... is signing your life away time !!!! Bottom line is if you quit anytime ... you will have to pay a huge penalty ! Bigger than SaMe ... Once you put your signature on the dotted line ... you are ready to embark on a $20,000* a month job !!!! Okay ... not yet ... few months of studies ... tests .... studies ... tests ... in Singapore and in Perth then in Singapore ... then get the actual aviation license ... then get bonded with SIA for life

What does it take to be a pilot ? Interest ? ... With Auto-Pilot ... just press a button ... not sure whether it is a button or not ... so maybe just sit there shake leg ... wait for turbulence ? or another LOST crash landing ? or thinking where to party with the air stewardess after landing ? Okay lah ... you cannot doze off .... ( SaMe ** ) ... or maybe passengers will start thinking how come Paris don't have Eiffel Tower when they are in Siberia ?

#On the air#
#This is Captain SaMe speaking, Welcome to Singapore Airlines ... today's weather is fair and we will be .... zzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzz#

Passenger Father A : *looking out the window* Hey son, you see the people on land are so tiny like ants when we are so up the sky
Passenger Son B : Dad, they are real ants, the captain fell asleeep

Pilots ... Steward/Stewardess ... high class of life ? More money ? Dark side ? Party ? Booze ?Drugs ? Degrade ? or maybe just a wrong perception ? Time to come we might come to know

*Not really you get $20,000 a month when you become a pilot ... takes quite a while ... but definitely more than a average joe in singapore

**Maybe not SaMe

Care for some smooth "tau 花" at some dark alley ?



Semi-lit along a scraggy alley ... enjoying good tau 花 ? 豆 huay ? soya huay ? tau bean ? soya 花 ? Hmmmm ... Whatever the name is

Anyway ... there is an article in a local magazine about ugly men ... more specifically on celebrity ... and Rolling Stone's Mick Jagger was one of them ... saying that he was so ugly that God is still sending him apologetic letters ... hahahahahaa ... quite funny

Of not much relation to the above article :

SaMe : Rolling Stone 的歌很好听
何足挂齿PilotSMSRKarmaedster : 你有听过什么 Rolling Stone 的歌 ?
SaMe : 我没听过它们的歌

*不要问我为什么*

Super Ex-Girlfriend

It was female clark kent vs adam sandler's anger management vs scary movie ... Jenny/G-girl girl who got her super powers after her encounter with a meteorite crash when young .. Luke Wilson is Matt Saunders who ran after a snatch thief who grabbed Jenny's bag ... Jenny was attracted to him since she is always the one saving people ... this time round someone became her hero

So what is good in having a girlfriend with super powers ?

Do not have to worry about her getting any injuries, knocked down by car ?
Definitely can get a cab when you want one ?
You get powerful, never experience sex, breaking your bed in the process ?
Doing it while travelling at speed of sound in the air ?
Can save you when you are hanged upside down from the statue of liberty ?



But what if you don't really love her ... Matt likes her colleague Hannah and could not take Jenny's possessiveness and neurotic character ... with destructive results of course ...

So what is bad when you break up with a girlfriend with super powers ? And who is very pissed off !

You keep repairing your roof/ceiling because she doesn't leave using the door anymore
Your car disappeared and appeared in outspace
You get the work "Dick" lasered on your forehead
She screwed up your important meeting/presentation by stripping you naked
She threw a shark at you after you have a good time with Hannah ... Yes ... a shark

Well ... but at least someone is really in love with G-girl ... Bedlam or Barry or Super villian or whatever ... who was her high school close friend ... Barry wanted to remove her powers so that she could be back to the original Jenny he knew last time ... In the process ... gave Hannah the super powers too !!!!

So you get 2 female clark kent battling it out like alien vs predator in starwars pace till it got all settled when both find their true love ... fairy tale ending but now with 2 G-girls saving the world ... An action packed comedy ... not much of a plot ... 6/10 for G-girl

Liang Seah Street

This street opposite Bugis Junction is full of eateries ... all kinds of food ... you name it ... most probably they have it ... coffee shop food ... steamboats ... hong kong style cafe ... viet ... nasi lemak ... western ... beef noodles ... hot and cold desserts ... and more

Dinner didn go that well as planned ... went to Pivdofr ... been there a few times ... food not bad ... reasonable set menu pricing ... the usual wait was expected ... got about an hour before movie starts

Ordered 3 set dinner, a sandwich and chicken wings ( gotta to settle for 5 wings because somehow they have only 5 left, it should come in half a dozen ) ... ice water ... coke ... soups and salads ... chicken wing ... they came ... they disappeared ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we asked ...

When one asked a waiter/waitress to check whether the food is here or not ... do they really check ? One gal was up and asking whether her food is ready or not ... and she came later than us ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... fren then ask to serve his kopi first ... we wait ... we wait ... we wait ... in total around 30 to 35 mins of wait ... Give benefit of the doubt on the main course ... but how difficult is it to make a grilled ham and cheese sandwich ? Waiting for the cow to turn into cheese ? Not sure what is happening in the kitchen ... workflow problem ?

Time is up ... gotta to bastard liao ... ask waiter to cancel order ... 30 seconds later ... we should be more bastard ... walk to the cashier ... simple reason that the waiter will never cancel the orders ... and true enough ... but the chef know our persistence ... and say wrong timing blah blah ... do come again ... well sort of agree ... so we just pay for what we eat

Supper time ... went to the tong shui cafe ... another hong kong style cafe ... which sprouted island wide in significant quantity and speed ... if the earlier wait for food is long till like waiting for Singapore to qualify for the World Cup ... this one even better !!! is like waiting for Singapore to win the World Cup !!!! Somehow don't like the decor ... but was sitting outside and just grab something to eat ... the menu was packed and not easy on the eyes ... maybe because it says it has 300 over items

Maybe not a good day for food

Hard Candy


A movie with only a cast of 5 artises ... and 3 of them with an on-screen appearance of less than 3 minutes ... and it say it is a psychotic thriller ... so then ... hmmmmmm ... the psycho and the thrilling part must be between 2 persons ? Yup ... a 14 years old and a 32 years old

Ellen Page as Hayley is a smart and charming young girl in the movie who was supposed to be conned ... sweet talked ... cheated by Patrick Wilson who is Jeff in the movie ... "Supposed to be" as per the danger lurking behind internet chat rooms where the actual identity of the person is not known ... and where girls are usually conned and maybe physically taken advantage ... In this movie ... the opposite happens ... Hayley is the aggressor and Jeff the victim

Both are strong willed and intelligent people ... have their own agenda before they first meet up ... eventually both ends up in Jeff's house where most part of the movie took place ... first 15 mins of the movie is dull and pure conversing ... till the motive of Hayley became more obvious ... and throughout the movie ... a mild level of mystery is there on who is telling the truth ... Hayley had it planned all along since the chatroom ... stalked Jeff ... till the final execution of her plan ... she believes Jeff is a pedophile and is involved in killing Donna ... didn figure out who is she and how she is related to Hayley though

So to summarize what happen in the house :

  • Talk Cock with each other
  • Hayley drugged Jeff
  • Tried to make Jeff admit he is a pedophile
  • Jeff deny it
  • Hayley searching for something
  • Jeff deny it
  • Hayley found the picture of Donna in a safe
  • Jeff deny it
  • Hayley wants to castrate Jeff
  • Jeff deny it
  • Jeff castrated
  • Hayley plans for the perfect setup
  • Coercing Jeff to commit suicide
  • Leaving evidence of Jeff killing Donna behind
  • Jeff deny it
  • Hayley use the final "weapon"
  • Jeff deny it
  • Hayley tricks Janelle to come to Jeff's house
  • Jeff deny it
  • Janelle is here
  • Jeff admits he is involve in the killing of Donna but he did not kill her
  • Hayley knew already because she already did something similar to Aaron, the real killer
  • Jeff gave in finally ... hanged himself from the roof ... with the hope that Janelle won't know about this

One thing must say ... Jeff got freed thrice in the house ... but all the time ... he got outsmart by Hayley ... and did not escape at all !!!!!! Anyway .. Janelle is the love interest of Jeff

Not quite a thriller ... no near to any psychosis ... but I can say good performances from Ellen and Patrick ... but then ... I am not the judging panel from Oscar ... this get 5/10

Tuesday@New Asia Bar

Was at citihall after the movie ... was thinking to drop by Loof for drinks ... but it was full ... so didn want to take the chance by walking over ... decided to try out this New Asia Bar at Equinox ... cover charge was $22 !!! okie lah ... i meant quite normal for places with cover charges ... usually ard $15 to $20 ... with 1 or 2 drinks ... got lucky draw for the night ... bottle of vodka worr ... the cashier say when we paid for our cover charge

Was really thirsty ... must be the NASI GORENG BELACHAN MSG i had for dinner ... finish my lime juice in a few gulp ( okie lah they got put some vodka ) ... nothing fantastic about the place ... standard bar and seating place ... with more people crowding at the other bar counter end cum the dance floor ... 5 mins away from national day ... wow ... how exciting ... how exhilarating ... dun think anyone was responding to the DJ request ... mainly because crowd there are ang mohs and KLs .... Retro music kept pouring in which i like

Time for some YMCA ...


$15 out of $22 was for the view from top ... 70th storey above ... if u jump ... before you reach the ground ... would have been dead ... 12:30 ! lucky draw time ! .... and yeah yeah yeah ... they shouted our name !!!! Are we that lucky ????!??!?!?!? ............

Obviously not ...


The vodka was a miniature !!!! but well ... they didn bluff us ... prize was a bottle of vodka ... just that didn tell us what size ... i knew we wont that lucky ... there is another so called grand draw ... $300 in cash ... nah ... not our name this round ...

Somehow ... now and then ... KL music kept coming out ... felt like edging your head out ... dancing around coconut trees ... bending your palm 90 degrees and up above your head and shaking your bom bom ...

Left around 1+ ... will be my first time and last time there ... New KL bar

Click

Didn have much expectations about click before I watch it ... maybe of the same trailer that kept showing during other movies ... but surprisingly a very entertaining movie ... lots of comical moments ... and of a morale of the story behind

Adam Sandler is Michael Newman who has a great life ... married to ever ravishing Kate Beckinsale who is Donna ... the perfect wife and mother ... and of course their 2 wonderful kids ... but it is work that is the leading part ... where Michael ever ingenious contributions to the company was ignored by his boss .. Mr Ammer aka Mr KnightRider and Baywatch ... who of course take all the credits

Michael who wanted to be a partner of the company gets more and more irritated ... but i mean with Kate as your wife ... omigod ... wat more can one wants for ... so be it ... if you are a normal employee ... okie stopped dreaming ... back to the movie ... here comes Morty the guy who invented the super duper huper kuper luper "universal remote control" ... a remote control which controls one's universal

Well ... Of course the remote gives Michael the control he always wanted ... skipping rush hour, sickness, arguements, muting stuff he doesnt want to hear, up the volume of stuff he wants to hear, rewind the chapters of the life ... i meant just too good to be true

But how can a movie just continue like this ... the trade-off comes in !!! the remote has a memory that remember your preferences ... so in the long run ... it remotely control stuff for you in real time when it happens ... thus missing out on alot of events in his life ... he might have got what he wants in his career ... but losing his wife and dad was definitely not what he wants ... so basically his life was turned upside down .. and the remote is not returnable ... neh neh neh neh neh ... eventually his life was fast forwarded till 2017 where he dies ... with lots of regrets

Since the movie has a morale of the story ... all these was just a dream ... maybe people at times do not cherish what is around and priorities are just not set properly

Enjoyable stuff this one ... i must say ... i give a 8/10 !

Ice Cream

Nowadays, ice cream is not just a scoop in a cone, it has evolved into something else, from those ah pek selling ice cream in their motorcycle cum mobile ice cream parlour to premium ice cream or gelato

Ice cream is actually made of milkfat, milk-non-solid-fat, stabilizers, emulsifiers ... the technical details are just too boring which will make ice cream boring liao ... and of course you have all sorts of flavours and natural ingredients stuffed in them .. Premium ice cream usually has 16% to 20% fat in them

Gelato, an italian word for ice cream has less fat in them .. around 6 to 8% ... only 0.2% for fruit based gelato ... Gelato has less than 35% air ... thus making it more dense and much more flavoursome

I am not quite sure how big is the market for premium ice cream in Singapore but at least it prompted someone to bring Ben and Jerry here ... Cherry Garcia, Sweet Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Fudge, Phish Food ...........................

Let's see what we have in Singapore ... maybe we can called them boutique ice cream ... because one scoop of them can buy a 2l tub of Fairprice ice cream ... we have Swensens, Haagen Daaz, Ben and Jerry, Andersen, New Zealand Natural, Movenpick in Marche

For Gelato, we have Bravissimo, Venezia, Fresco Gelato, Riccotti, Gelare, Estivo Gelateria and Gelatissimo from Sydney who opened recently at Orchard Shaw House ...

Even local ice cream parlours, we have alot ... Daily Scoop, Scoopz, The Ice Cream Gallery, The Icekimo, Awfully Chocolate, Tom's Palette

I think I must have left out some, so many of them ... and don't forget the good old walls, magnolia, kings, even those potong ice creams ... Somemore ice creams from Supermarkets like Buds, Meiji, Cadbury, No-Frills, Fairprice

Think overdose ice cream liao ... maybe should talk about the flavours next time ... yum yum ..

We have strawberry cheesecake and phish food on the table ...

Appropriate Attire

And was trying to figure out what was she wearing underneath ... gave up ... looks too complex ... anyway from her face ... looks like a auntie

Tokyo Drift

This instalment of the "Fast and Furious" series ... to me is actually the holloywood version of Initial D ... of course without Jay Chou in it ... Story and Plot of such movies are usually ignorable and same for this one ... 飘移过弯 takes centre stage in Tokyo when Sean who was flew there to study and stay out of trouble .. when he gets into too much trouble ( speeding, illegal racing blah blah ) in USA

Sean knows nuts about drifting ... was beaten hands down when he first race against D.K ... the so called drift king ... Han, a partner in crime with D.K likes him and took Sean under him ... introducing him to his family of misfits ... and of course Han has money ... provided him cars to train and race ... and ultimately how to drift !!!!

And the cars in the show ...Mit Evo 9 .. Nissan 350Z .. Nissan Silvia .. Madza RX8 .. and the Ford Mustang ( retrofitted of course ) which Sean use to win D.K in the final showdown

And this kind of movie is need of a vase ... Neela who Sean fell in love with is the gal .. and of course "die die"x10 have to be D.K's gal ...

And there was one scene where Sean ask Han why he let him train with a Evo even knowing he will thrash it ... his reply "You are now representing me ... you think i will let drive a hyundai"

Another plotless movie ... give a 6/10 for the cars and racing scenes

七情六欲

很想写一些东西 。。嗨但又不知道什么 。。可能今天感触比较多 。。人的七情六欲是怎么由来 。。怎么产生 。。怎么控制 。。所謂七情乃喜怒悲驚恐優思 。。六欲乃色、形貌、威仪、言语音声、细滑、人相 。。是不是代表了現代人日日夜夜的心情 。。没有情,没有欲,六根清净,四大皆空,不食人间烟火,没有儿女情长,没有悲欢离合,这样的人不是尼姑、和尚,神仙 。。難道是死人 ?

七情六欲是好還是不好呢 。。以我來看﹐每個都有兩面的看法 。。

喜 可能樂極生悲
怒 讓你抒發不滿
悲 能讓你看清某件事
驚 可能是喜或怕
恐 在惶中找平靜
優 可能是在擔心在乎的人
思 若不過度代表想念

。。。。。。。
