No Limits 泳闯琴关 Theme Song

The Theme Song for the latest Channel 8 drama, No Limits 泳闯琴关, is very nice and inspiring!

However, I don't know if anyone notices that the chorus sounds uncannily like the Theme Song for The Golden Path 黃金路. If you don't believe me, play both choruses and judge for yourself. :)

The song 世界不孤单 is sung by 曾詠霖. Enjoy it:

Quan Yi Feng Hits Taxi Driver 权怡凤打德士司机



Not again? Why can't she just behave? Goodness!
My dislike for her has just gone 2 notches higher.
My question is, why did her friend not help her with her luggage?
And if she is so particular about someone helping her with her luggage, why did she not flare up at her friend?
Also, when she starting hitting the taxi driver "below his belt", why did her male companion not stop her?
She has to behave, does she realise she is a public figure?

权怡凤被指搭德士发飙 爆粗口踢伤司机

德士司机投诉,他今早载到权怡凤,不但在他的德士内疯狂大闹,还飞腿踢他的下体!
德士司机陈先生(52岁)受访时说,今早8时左右,一名30来岁的男子,在东海岸路上段的路边 截了他的德士 ,指示他开往纳乐路的华新阁公寓接人,然后要前往樟宜机场。
  
他说,他看到权怡凤带着女儿出现,权怡凤不满他不肯帮忙搬行李上车,开始对他发飙。
  
陈先生指权怡凤上车后,不但爆粗口辱骂他,还开始对他动粗,他只好把德士停在路边。
他指权怡凤下车后,突然飞腿猛踢他的下体,还将德士车门踢凹。
  
陈先生说,他当下赶紧打电话通知朋友帮忙报警,但权怡凤在警方抵达前,与女儿和男伴截了另一辆 德士离开

The Noose

Caught Alaric Tay filming a section for "The Noose" outside the Cathay Cineplex.

I admire the whole gang in The Noose, Alaric Tay, Michelle Chong and Chua En Lai. They are a bunch of talented impersonators, at least better than Channel 8's The Black Rose, or whatever that Variety Program is called.

Raffles Hotel Long Bar - THE Singapore Sling

We took Nick to the Raffless Hotel Long Bar as well as the Swissotel New Asia Bar for a visit when he was here in Singapore.

Ironically, though we hosted him, it was my first time in the Long Bar as well.


Raffles Hotel Long Bar is THE BAR that concocted the FIRST Singapore Sling.
Wow, the Singapore Sling here really tasted better than almost all Singapore Slings I have tried.


Oh, and in Raffles Hotel Long Bar, please throw your Peanut Shells on the floor. You will not be fined. When we first walked in, we were wondering why the staffs didn't sweep the floor, but Nick, who had read some tour book prior to the visit, told us that its a tradition in the Long bar, thus all patrons throw the Peanut Shells, all over. We took this opportunity, and threw Peanut Shells at each other, like kids. LOL.

Feels good to litter openly... Just kidding.... LOL

Kim Choo - Famous Peranakan Rice Dumplings

After KTV at Teo Heng, I decided to pop by Kim Choo, to buy their famous Bak Chang (Rice Dumplings). Their Dumplings cost $2.50 per dumpling when I bought it, but a closer look at their price list revealed that their dumplings will go for $4.50 during the Festival!





The Nonya Dumpling is average, but I must say that the Salty Dumpling is above average.
The filling is very generous, with lots of meat and Mushroom (I love Dumplings with a lot of mushrooms). There was also two "Gao Luck" (Roasted Chestnut). Too bad for me, I don't like Chestnuts in my Dumplings. I ate my dumplings with Belachan Chilli, and they tasted better than usual! Yummy!

Killers (Ashton Kutcher & Katherine Heigl)

We had a massive movie outing yesterday, and my oh my, it was mind blowing, watching a movie with 64 other colleagues, and having a dedicated queue, with our company name, for our Popcorn Combo Set Collection! And yes, this outing was organised by none other than yours truly, ME. Another successful event, before I leave the company.



Killers, starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, is in short, FUNNY. I do not know if I should categorise it as a Romantic Comedy, or an Action Comedy, because it has a mix of both, and a very good mix indeed. I have been a big fan of Katherine Heigl, since her Ugly Truth in 2009, but wow, I never knew Ashton Kutcher is one charming actor (Lucky Demi Moore!). He charmed the shit out of all the girls (and me) sitting in my row, with his witty one-liners, and of course his killer ABs.

There were several scenes where Ashton was topless, and you could almost hear girls whistling, and see them drooling, at his god-damm-gorgeous-almost-perfect body.


The storyline is great! There is a twist to the story, though not entirely unpredictable. Katherine and Ashton really displayed great chemistry in this movie, and I give it a 8.5/10. Do watch this movie, if you are not too serious, otherwise, you might end up saying what one of my colleagues said. "This movie is unrealistic. How come he doesn't have to pay for all his crimes." LOL.

Its just a movie, so just sit back, enjoy, and put all morality aside!

Winkz Winkz - Buzzing Cashier 2

After watching Buzzing Cashier 2 on MobTV, I decided to visit this cafe which is located in Hougang Central Bus Interchange. The food critics and the chefs were raving about how good the food taste, but it was a HUGE disappointment!

Firstly, I visited the stall on a Sunday morning at around 11am, and it was still not opened. I looked around the exterior of the shop, and I could not find a single notice on its operating hours. FAILURE NUMBER 1: Not keeping the customers well informed.

When I re-visited the shop again at around 11.30am, it was finally opened. I saw the lady boss, who was featured in the program. She was busy preparing food. I was served by this rather young chap, probably her son or nephew. I asked about their operating hours. His reply was that on weekdays they open from 7am to 7pm. Thats fine. But when I asked about weekends, his reply was that they will come around "11 plus, no fixed timing on weekends".
FAILURE NUMBER 2: No fixed operating hours, open shop as and when they feel like it.

I decided not to be judgemental, and asked to buy their famous Filo pastry which was highly recommended on TV. I also wanted to try their famous Chicken Wings. To my disappointment, the food were ALL NOT READY, and I was told I had to wait 45mins, if I wanted those items.
FAILURE NUMBER 3: Poor time management. You don't ask customers to wait 45mins when there was no queue! If you open your shop at 11am, you jolly well get your food ready by 11am, thus, go to the shop EARLY to do your preparation!

I did not wait and left the shop disappointed.

I went back to the shop again in the afternoon, as I was dying to try the food.

This time round, I saw Chicken Wings on the display tray, and a lot of Filo pastries. I thought to myself, "Finally!"

A girl was mending the pastry counter, and I asked her which Filo Pastry was nicer, the mushroom or Tuna, and her answer was "Depends on your taste, I don't know, because I have not eaten before."

FAILIURE NUMBER 4: Staffs are not well informed of products. The least she could tell me was which was more popular among customers, and not tell me something an idiot will know, that is that the food depends on preference.

I bought both since she couldn't give me a satisfactory answer. I then also asked to buy 2 Chicken Wings, as there were 5 of them on the display tray. This time round, the counter girl told me the wings were sold out. I pointed to the tray, and she told me, someone else had bought it, but there was no one!

FAILURE NUMBER 5: Inadequate supply of food. Unless you are an extremely popular food outlet, like the Donut Factory 2 years ago, you should never tell your customers the food is sold out. You ensure there is always enough for anyone who walks in. Its only pardonable if its close to the end of the day.

I will NOT visit Winkz Winkz ever again, because after trying the Mushroom and Tuna Filo Pastry, I give it a D-. Both tasted really bad, at least not to my liking, and not worth all the hassle.

Bali Day Four

Our final day in Bali. We wasted no time, and as early as 10am, we were already at their Weekend Bazaar.







They have a new Pullman Hotel here. If I ever come back to Bali, I want to stay in Pullman.
My last experience with Pullman Bangkok was extremely pleasant!
Best of all, Pullman Bali is smack in the centre of Kuta Beach!




Surfing School



How to come to Bali, and not buy Quiksilver? Its almost impossible!



I am going to miss the fruit juices!


Last lunch in Bali


Pork Steak



For our well deserved body massage, before we headed to the airport!


Extra Large Slippers.


Foot Scrub


Rashida enjoying her pedicure.


I, NOT enjoying my Foot Massage.


I cannot stand this lady. The whole time she was massaging my hands, she keeps rubbing my hands onto her boobs. I feel like giving her a punch!


Hair Spa


Our last Stop before our Bali Trip comes to an end. Last minute shopping at Carrefour!


Rashida, extremely satisfied with her Manicure!


Our last dinner was at A&W.







Inside the Carrefour Shopping Mall.


D&G???


Supermarket Proper.




Lots of colourful Keropok!!!!










The Airport, reality check.


We were flown back by Qatar, thanks to an overbooked KLM.


Prada Reflexology? Diversification from the fashion business?


Last pic before we boarded the plane.




We were pretty lucky to be put on Qatar, as the entertainment system was great!




This over zealous Cabin Crew was seen chatting up with a gorgeous male passenger, on the pretext of being extra friendly, but Rashida and I knew she was flirting!


Dinner served was good.

End of Bali. I miss Bali!
