The freshly brewed beers are 50% off listed prices on MONDAYS! "Samui" is better. Taste a bit like Erdinger

Makan place to recommend - Brewbaker's kitchen & bar (Location: 59 Anchorvale Road #01-06 Anchorvale CC, nearest to Farmway LRT)

Karen and I visited this place twice. The ambience is great especially at night when the lighting is dimmer. 1-2 years down the road when the riverside upgrading works are done, there will be alfresco dining. Utterly romantic!

Check out my Spag with chicken and prawn. Karen had the Crumbed Fish with Lemon Sauce.

My 1st post for 2009! My new toy! Canon Digital IXUS 870 IS

Karen bought me a new camera for my upcoming birthday! Hahahaa! So happy!
28mm wide-angle lens; fast DIGIC 4 imaging chip; large 3-inch LCD.

Been using it for few days. So far so good! The processing is indeed much faster than IXUS 60, pic quality is pretty good too!

Getting my first car

Its must one of those times when I suddenly wanna write something on my own blog. Been very busy at work and not much time to go online.


I guess most guys are into cars. Right? Hahaha! Well, I am, or least I hope I get my wheels soon and say “bye bye” to public transport. Perhaps its liken to committing a crime in Singapore, one gonna pay a heavy price for owning a car. I remembered my friend once told me,”If you cannot buy a fast car, get a cute car”.


That’s precisely what I have in mind now. Buying a cute car such as a Kia Picanto. Getting from point A to B at my pace, my way. Way better than traveling on our “world class” transport system.


I like fast cars. No, I love fast cars! The racer boy in me love cars like Skyline, Evolution. There are many new GTRs racing down the road near my worksite. Audi R8, WRXs (which I don’t like). Having sat in an Evol 10 once, twice. The ADRENALINE rush through the blood is damn thrilling! (& I was just the passenger, not the driver). Missed that experience so much! My choice would probably be an Audi A3 hatchback.


Not too “beng” nor too “uncle”… Okay, back to my dreamland…

Lazy Saturday

Not really lazy.. just bored.. I had to go to work today. We will be having another road diversion next week or on the 28th. I got Magicseal to install a insect screen inmy living room and master bedroom. Finally, we can keep our windows open. Not for to keep insects out, but the cats in. haha! Anyway i will post some photos when my camera is back from Hong Kong.

What to eat for dinner? I forgot how to get to the porridge shop near Simon Road.

Yummy!!!!

The Colt Version-R features a DOHC MIVEC with variable valve timing mechanism. A 16 valve intercooler turbo turbo adds to the class topping levels of performance for 154bhp of power. Brakes are 15 inch discs for the front, and 14 inch discs for the rear. ABS, EBD and dual front airbags are standard safety features. In addition, the manual transmission model offers Active Safety Control (ASC) which works by electronically controlling the brake and engine output of 4 wheels, preventing unstable behavior of the vehicle in extreme conditions.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy (Quoted from some forgotten sources... )

Our new place finally...

Its has been months since my wife and I settled down at my new place. Pretty cool as it take only 12mins by NEL to reach my workplace. Anyway, I like the serenity of the our neighbour. Our nearest shoping mall is 10 mins walks away. There is a new swimming pool and sports complex about 5mins walk away.

One 7-11 downstairs. The only thing that irks me is those night racers that would without fail... speed past my block almost everynight. I swear I will snipe them off if only in Sillypore there are no gun control laws. Or they would get off their cars and talk so damn loud in the middle of the night. Yes, I will SNIPE their bloody heads off...

Oh yes, I just went to Singlasik to zap my left eye... eye is so dry now.. I will be on leave for the whole week now. Where is my eye drops now??

Photos taken from my living room...

Geeee... Good news!

Thanks, if you readng this page, you are a faithful follower of my seldom-updated boring blog... anywae, I got a resale unit at Sengkang. 1st appointment will be 2 July. 8 weeks later, 2nd appointment and I think we will move in in early Sept 08. No doubt its pricy but the location, low cash upfront, 100% move in - no need to renovate, <10 mins walk to Sengkang NEL, 12 mins train travel to my new worksite, direct bus to Karen's workplace in under half hour... made us secured the unit in less than 24 hours after viewing... Considering the unit above mine was transacted recently 28,000 cash, I think we got a good deal.

Mystery of the half cheese in fillet O fish

I went to Lucky chinatown yesterday and order a fillet O fish meal. I was surprised to see that there is only half of the cheese in the burger. Thinking it must be mistake by the kitchen, i brought the burger to show the store manager. To my horror, she said "all along", the cheese in fillet O fish is half, not whole cheese. Not giving up, I asked her since when is the "all along" she s talking about. Her reply was "3 & half years ago when she joined Mac..." Folks, really meh?? half cheese in fillet O fish all along?

SPR finally! 07 May 2008

My Karen finally got her SPR! To her, its not big deal. But to us, it means we can buy a HDB flat, plus she pay lesser taxes, enjoy some benefits as a half sillyporean.

Today is also her Lasik day. Now i am about to finish my shift from 9pm to 6am nightly till end May... By the time she wakes up in a few hours time, she should be seeing things perfectly clear without contact lens anymore.

30 more minutes to countdown to 6am... haiz it will be another 1.5 hours before i reach home to Jurong East. Speaking of which, we bought our new resale flat at Anchorvale. Taking a NEL to and fro home & my new worksite is merely 12mins, excluding waiting time. We should be moving in early Sept... looking forward to moving to new place really... :)
