Happy Day.

+ Happy Birth day Jen Ni! Many happy-fying returns! May I be able to hear you sing more often. Eh, sorry, its your birthday, you should be making the wish. [_____] *blank space intended for Jen Ni to fill in her wish* Chances of it coming true depends on how much water you can drink.

+ Happy Halloween day. I didn't realize it was halloween until Adrian informed me. Patutlah I see so many small kids dressed in fancy costumes on my way to lunch *nods knowingly* Trick or treat!

+ Happy knowing that the project cannot be completed by end of this year but my EP expiring soon so the future is becoming uncertain once again day! I don't wanna stay here any longer OMG so boring can die dot com okay?

+ Happy knowing that you might need to work during the weekend again because a certain phase of the project is repeating its cycle day! Doesn't it just ruined everything knowing that?

+ Happy eating too much spicy food for lunch and dinner resulting some sore on throat day!

+ Happy setting up the router and pulling all the cables into the meeting room just to be informed minutes later that a meeting would be ongoing soon so have to shift everything out again day! wtf lah the PM cannot inform earlier one meh just sit there wtf, wtf, wtf!!! Waste my time only.

+ Happy nearly fell down on the escalator because the idiot in front decided to stand still for a while sms-ing after alighting day!

+ Happy after today, its only another 2 months then its 2008 day!

Such a happy day. *sarcasm overload*

As night approaches...

Taken at Pagoh rest-area on the way back to Singapore on October 22, 2007 around 7pm.

How I wish to be able to just sit back and enjoy life, watching sunrise and sunset on a calm seaside, with cool breezes passing through once in a while, for just a day or too. Work has been really cruel lately, mainly due to the usual incompetent culprit, hence, his tasks being delegated (really not helping when this became a norm for the PM) to me which already have, like, a mountain of datelines of my own. Sigh... *takes a deep breath and tries to look at things from a brighter perspective but all I can see is darkness*

My appetite have increased tremendously of late, almost exponentially I dare say. It's kinda worrying since I'm not exactly living a healthy lifestyle, although I do jog but that's only like twice a week. And I'm eating like, 2 person's portion of food at times. Should really do something before its too late... Maybe its the stress.

kiut or not?

Bad Food Day.

Training again. Long, long, boring labs.

That aside, today is one of those bad food days where I purchased the wrong choice of food, for lunch. It certainly looked good but after a few bites, I had to give up on that bowl of Ban Mian because it was too oily, greasy and sourish that I nearly puked. Urgh! Its such a rare occasion that I somehow felt totally defeated.

To console myself, I decided to have a treat in Starbucks where the barrista recommended the new Green Tea Frappucino with Cranberry syrup/juice. Not that bad but I kinda felt that the cranberry syrup totally covered the taste of green tea, which totally ruins the actual flavour of the drink. Hence, not recommended for green tea frapp lovers. Drinks are definitely cheaper here (no converting please) as a Grande only costs around $7 dollars as opposed to RM11/12 something back home?

And on the long stretch of road from Lau Pa Sat back to the CPF building, I noticed that there were 2 Starbucks branch with another one coming up.

p/s: I've updated this entry, added link to the witnesses who were present during the occasion. :P

The Cafe Cartel.

FYI, the time I'm typing this, I've already been to Cafe Cartel twice, all hail Jed the procrastinator. Been wanting to dine there but long-lasting queues (Plaza Singapura branch) had been a strong withdrawal factor. The day I finally found out that they opened in IMM was a day of jubilation as I threatened E to accompany me for a meal there. Good news comes in pair, no queue! I let E browsed through the menu a little before forcing him in, then there was no turning back.

Found the place a little crammed (made me feel fat) or maybe its just me, which is not a good thing since I'll be eating less. Ahaha... haha... Ok, not farny.

Nice and cosy little place. We always get the table of four even though there's only 2 of us with twin seatings available.

At least they provided free flow of sky juice. *ahems* miss julia, no NEWater jokes here okay? *ahems*

The variety offered ranges from appetizers to soups, snacks and salads, main courses of MEAT (there's even a PURE MEAT dish ZOMG), pasta or seafood, desserts and drinks. For the main courses, you can just chuck-in $3.60 additionally to get a soup, a drink and free flow of freshly baked-bread. I placed the order for St. Louis PORK RIBS while E decided to have some Hawaiian Pork Chops. And we waited...

I almost forgot. In addition to the main courses, we ordered a dish of Ham & Egg Club Sandwich due to an overwhelming temptation just by looking at its image. Behold the power and influence of a good piccah. Then, first attempt to get bread, failed! Second attempt to get bread, failed again! Third attempt included a reconnaissance before deployment of troops, success! Nak makan roti pun susah as every single serving only consisted 4 loaves of bread. Bread + chunk of butter, yumsss...

Ice Peach Tea with a slice of lemon. Weird.

Corn Soup, yucks! I hate corn soup, moreover, it didn't go well with bread. The second visit was better as they served mushroom soup.

Bread. Fresh bread. The texture is similar to baguettes, hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

The mentioned irresistable sandwich. Just look at the layers of golden brown toasted bread, eggs, ham and cheese. *drools* The uniqueness is a mid-layer of toasted bread, resulting a crunchy texture to every bite. But, it was a little salty for me.

Hawaiian Pork Chop. 3 slices of meat, with fries, grilled cucumbers and carrots. According to E, when he visited the PlazaSing branch, they served 5 pork chops! 0_0" No wonder always long queue.

PORK RIBS. Quite huge portion. I've been dreaming of the day I can finally have some soft, tender and juicy ribs. And it did not disappoint. Next in line, Tony Romas!!!

Bone Collector wtf.

The second time we came, we had this feeling that the menu was a little limited, though the choices were many, its almost the same. Yet again, was tempted to order the chocolate brownies+ice-cream but didn't. I took some Chicken thingy (normal) while he took some other BBQ ribs (a little dry, lack of sauce) and we took a seafood platter (not bad, even served scallops!) Hence, we decided that it would probably be quite some time before we're back again. But the overall dining experience was quite good, food was alright and affordable, service wise, nothing too bad. And not only were the service charges waived, CitiBank card holders get an additional 10% discount. ><

Just to satisfy your curiosity, the final bill (after discount) came to about $42 dollars.

Sun Shine.

Attending a full day training somewhere in Tanjong Pagar.

Being in business districts is always more fun, especially during lunch time because... pretty OLs are literally everywhere!!! There's just something about ladies in formal attires that never fails to get my attention. Maybe its the potrayal of power. Maybe its the corporate iamge. Or maybe I just find them sexy, hahaha haha. *hint*hint*

And when the training was over, it was one those rare days where I still get a glimpse of daylight when heading home. *sunshine through my window...* And the training continues this coming Saturday and Sunday. There goes my weekend. On the bright side, at least I'm not working on that never-ending project.

The journey.

+ as she drove me to Corus Hotel, my thumb moved towards the joint of the fourth finger unknowingly, a habit of rotating the ring that developed subconciously and it hit me, it was not at its rightful position. Soon enough it began to feel pretty awkward without the ring by my side. The one ring to rule it all.

+ the journey to Singapore was horrendous because of the snoring man beside me and the talkative man behind me. While snoring man didn't manage to sleep the whole 5 1/2 hours, talkative man was incredible as he was able to maintain his conversation through-out the whole journey. To think that I used to say Jacklyn was talkative...

+ and for once, I finally get a decent meal onboard the coach, grilled drumstick with briyani rice, fried fishballs and stir-fried vegetables, yumsss...

+ saw a very fierce female immigration officer at the Tuas Checkpoint

+ upon reaching, I saw a kid waiting with his mother, for his dad to alight. Just by looking at their smiling faces, I actually felt their excitement and anxiety, of finally being able to see daddy again. And when he alighted, the kid ran to him and hugged him tightly whilst calling 'Daddy! Daddy!' The dad then carried him, walked to his wife, then hugged and kissed her then proceeded to their car. At that moment, I felt... uhrm... jealous. I then made my way back, alone.

iTalk uListen

There's so much to be told but at the same time, nothing can be said, yet. Kinda similar to the 'waiting to buka puasa' scenario, the feast is laid right before your eyes but you can't touch them yet. Woe is me.

I'm getting more and more forgetful lately. One of the signs of old age? Soon enough, I foresee myself getting a bundle of those yellow sticky sketch-pads, write reminders and plaster it all over my room, which will possibly in turn cause me to forget which reminder to follow. Its a vicious cycle.

Have not cooked for the longest time, most probably would have lost my magic touch. Well, its back to the basics for me then. Sigh.

Work sucks!

Nak Makan pun Susah.

When the choices are limited, I complain about having to eat the same thing over and over, and over again.

When the choices are abundant, I complain about having to decide on what to eat over and over, and over again. Oh, the agony of being spoilt for choices.

Its the latter that I'm going through lately as I usually have lunch by myself when working at the client's office. At least I can push some decision making to E when in the office. Going together with my colleagues means having the same cuisine at the same location again while going with the client is just plain weird (different industry = different channel altogether).

In actual fact, its not that bad/cham/kesian a thing. Looking at things from the brighter side, at least you get to (I'm not consoling myself OK?):

- take your own sweet time

- eat what you feel like having, appetite can be random

- eat in peace, no need to layan others

- spend some quality time with yourself

The last one is a totally wtf point and can be ignored. One of the obstacles that I always face when dining alone is getting an empty seat, especially when Tissue Culture is being practised. Well, the solution is pretty simple, just choose the right time as well as the right place, given that you have flexibility on your lunch hour:

- if you're planning for the food court/food stalls, be sure to head there a little later, the crowd would usually disperse starting 1.15pm. Else, you can always opt to share table.

- thinking about take away, head out as early as possible, sharp at noon would be the best because a certain amount of packages are readily available to cater for lunch hour

- for restaurants, head out earlier as well, higher execs normally lunch later

And there you have it, Jed's simple guide to having lunch alone in the Central Business District (CBD) of Singapore. If you find it irrelevant, you've just wasted the last few minutes reading it. If you find it relevant, I am always available for lunch, hahaha.

Semangat-less.

Uhrm, I've been busy searching and watching Ouran High School Host Club on YouTube lately, hence the lack of productivity in my blog. Yeap, I'm even watching it from the client's office, totally demotivated to continue with the project. Anyway, I have not the slightest idea on the cause of addiction and no cure for it either. Also, since its now licensed, only a few episodes are left lingering around, sigh...

On a different note, being away from KL and all the familiarities is finally taking its toll as a lot of important events involving yours truly has occured without my presence. I feel so left out... Oh well, happier days will come. That's what I feel like thinking but being happy-go-lucky is just not my nature. sigh...

On a totally unrelated note, the meeting room in the client's office is getting warmer and warmer lately, such distinct difference in temperature that when you open the door, you can actually feel cool air breezing through. Even the clients themselves complains but my other colleagues seems to be pretty fine with it. I must be hot-blooded. Hence I need to drink lots of water to cool myself down, which in turn, increases my frequency to the men's room, which is a bad thing because its located outside the office. This is especially after office hours, when exiting the office requires the usage of an access card. Niao! Aih, stuffy, stuffy, stuffy.

Oh, and someone's ringtone is really, really annoying as well, urgh!

Nothing in particular.

Not fish food. Its one of my favourite snack, yums! Don't really know why but a number of people actually thought these were fish food. Its bread biscuit, I think. Stop staring at me for not knowing what I'm eating, its really edible, okay?

Jed's all time favourite snack! Don't get to have it often in KL because of restrictions imposed by a certain someone. Definitely better than Chipsters!!!

Candy! Yums! There goes my intention to shed off those extra fats.

five and a half.

that's 66 months of me getting to know you better, learning a little by little through every moment spent with you... and i still am...

that's 264 weeks of you shaping me into a better person and guiding me along the right path, nurturing me into the person that i am today...

that's 1848 days of us sharing and caring for one another endlessly, regardless of the time or distance between us...

that's 44352 hours of joy and laughter, sadness and tears, fear and disappoinment, courage and trimph that we went through together, one after another, a little step at a time...

that's 2661120 minutes since the first time i held your hand in mine, secretly wishing that i would be able to hold it forever...

and that's 159667200 seconds i've spent with or without you by my side, but always in my mind...

Love you darling, miss you lots too. Happy five and a half years Anni!!! and many, many, many more to come. I dedicate the following song to you, click here to listen.

Dan kepada semua muslimin dan muslimat sekalian yang baca belog saya yang tak seberapa ini walaupun setahu saya, memang tiada tapi tak mengapalah, selamat menyambut hari raya aidilfitri, maaf zahir dan batin. selamat akhirnya tamat puasa juga kepada yang berpuasa. yang muda tu, dapat banyak sikit duit raya lepas tu belanja saya makan, ingat kalau main mercun tu, pakailah 'protection' sikit, nanti menyesal seumur hidup. yang tua tu, ingat masa menjamu selera, jangan gelojoh, kena jaga kesihatan juga walaupun setahun sekali. yang kawan-kawan saya tu, cepatlah jemput saya datang makan, saya malu nak 'call' lah. Singapore punya malay food tak berapa cukup rasa lah...

Sekian.

And Another.

Movies watched recently...

Resident Evil: Extinction
Compared to its prequels, this one employed a lot of sudden loud sound effects to scare the soul out of you, that's the only main difference I noticed. Perhaps the birds as well. Else, its just loads of zombie shooting and slashing and shooting again, victims mutating and so on. And the final fight-scene, ended as though they ran out of budget, too easy, too soon. Anyway, this is supposed to be the final installment (according to Sony Pictures) but the ending seems to say otherwise.

Balls of Fury
Don't even bother asking me what I was thinking when I bought the tickets, it was just spur of the moment and the only other choices I had was Nanny Diaries (ew?) and Lust, Caution (don't feel like watching it with E, heard that it was massively censored as well). Funniest being listening to Maggie Q speak in cantonese, especially the part where she told her opponents to stop staring at her boobs.

I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
One of the movies where the showtimes screen wasn't able to display the title completely. The movie was absolutely hilarious! Go watch, especially if you're a fan of Adam Sandler, though its not a must. You'll be entertained.

Other movies watched not so recently...

The Invasion
Just because there's Nicole Kidman

Rogue Assassin
Nothing can go wrong when there's Jet Li. Were you able to predict the ending because you should be able to as there were various hints along the storyline, that is if you paid enough attention to it. The no smoking part, the wife-child part, etc. etc. Ending was kinda weird though. There were some scenes that I think would have been censored in the Malaysian cinemas, hahaha, let's just say, it was a first and it was a real eye-opener!

Come to think of it, I think I watch more movies here compared to when I'm in KL.

On another note, guess what! Another set of earphones gone, just like that. Read about the previous one here. It's the same case no matter how much I spend on them. I'm contemplating of getting a boombox now as this would be the third set of earphones gone in like, span of a year plus? Sigh, R.I.P. the third one.

Suicidal earphones.

Don't you just hate it...

When you're about to leave and your PM/colleague/shithead/whatever finally decided to bring up some issues for you to look into. Once, its okay lah, understandable. Twice, still alright, we can never foresee too much. But each and everytime is like, putting it in an extremely polite way, totally bullshit loh! Of all the time I'm sitting in front of the machine communicating with you, would it really take that much effort and energy to just inform me beforehand so that I could finish everything and head home to get some rest? Fuh.

Happens on Mondays, Tuesdays, yada, yada, Fridays, Saturdays and even Sundays ZOMG! Sometimes I wonder where I get all the patience from, perhaps I can absorb life out of dead things which in turn will be processed into 'patience' and stored in my body.

I don't hate my job, I just resent the people I have to work with. Why lah in the first place I agree to join this project. Kenapalah jed, kenapa engkau begitu bodoh? Seems as though, my life will almost be perfect without my job, as all my posts labeled under Ramblings has something to do with work.

Re-carpeting.

The company has undergone re-carpeting, finally, after spending dunno how many donkey months talking about it, been hearing about it since I first arrived here, imagine that. And it took way longer than expected, the admin told me that everything will be done by 11am, at most and when I reached there at 11 sharp (*ahems* jed is super punctual okeh? remember that!), they have yet to even remove the old carpeting around my workstation. OMG lah! Had to wait an additional 3 hours for them to complete everything, f**king wasted my time. Anyway, a shot from the outside when I was about to leave.

Brue is the corour.

Lantern Showcase 2.

Carved marble on wall in one section of an area. Not only is it beautiful, the carving is also super clean man! I wiped my finger across it (to feel the texture) and amazingly, no dust!

Wishing tree. The tree that has the most wishes, its no surprise, was the one with the Love tag.

One of the better looking lanterns. Somehow it reminded me of the 'Leung San Pak, Juk Ying Toi' story.

In the lake, there were displays themed after '8 Sin Koh Hoi' (Eight Saints/Immortals/Whatever Crossing The Sea). They look funny.

More of them.

Floating lotus flowers. I nearly fell into the lake while trying to take a better shot. Must be karma for laughing at the Saints/Immortals/Whatever.

Fortunately, on that night, there were some mini-fireworks display scheduled at around 10pm, which lasted for about 5 minutes, or less.

Everybody loves fireworks.

I was standing so close to the launch site that should anything have gone wrong, I'll most probably be toasted. As the fireworks didn't really go up high, I nearly broke my neck.

Last but not least, huge ass mooncake with Hello Panda's friend surrounding it, say hi to Herro Polar.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the end of my ordeal at the showcase, not to mention that I didn't get any free mooncakes, nor free lanterns and forgot to submit my entry for the lucky draw due to anticipation for the fireworks. In actual fact, I think a lot of effort was spent in setting up this showcase, in the middle of a huge garden, with some displays were even made to float on the lake but I guess its just not my cup of tea.

Oh, Cely was there as well.

A little late.

I'll continue the second part of Childish Lantern Post because I just have to say this right here and right now!

Lantern Showcase.

Few weeks back (seems like I have this habit of blogging about the past), there was some Lantern Showcase ongoing @ Chinese Garden (this station was nicely decorated and themed, first time being there), in sync with the Mid-Autumn Festivals, and being the usual busybody, E and I made our way there since we're staying nearby anyway. $12 dollars per entry for an adult was slightly expensive, if compared to norm. Bearing the theme of 'Underwater World' or something close to that, I have to admit, I was quite excited to discover what lies beyond and O.M.G., I was left totally speechless!!!

Everything was beyond my expectations, my wildest imaginations, on the negative side that is, it just looks so, uhrm, in a polite manner, childish? I was thinking, something more like, sophisticated displays shaped using multiple small lanterns on massive scales, you get what I mean? Perhaps some areas bearing coloured burning candles, etc. etc. Sigh... Still, had to make the best out of it, no use crying over spilled milk.

The moment my eyes met with the display at the entrance, the first thought that crossed my mind was, so childish one wtf. Sei Loh!

8 Floors Pagoda (not the real name). Quite tiring climbing all the way up, reminded me of my Mount KK trip.

View of all the displays from top.

Themed after the sunken city of Atlantis, I think.

*pengsans* No Comment. At certain areas, some of the lanterns were even to emit repetitive weird growling noises which was quite annoying. But children super like them loh.

Lotus Flowers. Like this still acceptable lah.

Don't cross the bridge the dolphins will attack you wtf. Laser emitting dolphins, hear them squeak!

I'm still speechless.

I think this is supposed to be the Water Palace where the Dragons live together with the Prawns and Crabs soldiers something like that (ala the Na Za story).

OMG look its Happy Feet! Hear me sing, watch me tap!

Got any polar bears themed Disney characters? If you were there, you'd notice that all the adult bears are female.

Don't worry, there's still more to come, its just that I've had enough of poking fun and making silly remarks for today. I'll continue torturing you guys later. I'm late for an appoinment as well, gotta fly!

Just like that.

A friend just informed me that his relationship of close to six years is officially over. That totally shocked me. They got together just a little earlier than I did with the girlfriend and all this while, everything seemed so perfect for them. I can tell that it hit him pretty hard judging from the way he talked, somehow reminded me of the typical TVB dramas. I, together with the girlfriend, spent nearly the whole day consoling him over MSN, hard to imagine he would deteriorate till his current devastated state.

All I can do now is hope that he would eventually be able to get over this difficult period and move on.

Wanted to say more, but I'm currently shrouded in too much anger and disappointment due to work that it might affect my usual train of thoughts. Might be turning this post into a murderous plot that is bound to satisfy any level of desire for revenge. *shivers*

Which also kinda makes me wonder, does anyone out there actually enjoy their job? At least having some job satisfaction? I know I don't. Perhaps its time for a change.

The Damage is Done.

Headed back to Brotzeit last night, after a long absence, as E was on his Pork Knuckle mission and I kinda missed their beer. A mutual decision after narrowing our choices to either here, there or the-other-side. I didn't bring my camera along because this was quite a spontaneous meet-up, since I was in the office initially and E, lazing in his room watching 'Full House' (that Korean Drama).

And so, he ordered his Pork Knuckle, which comes with salads and mashed potatoes while I took Tafelspitz, boiled beef served with grilled potatoes and spinach, which was grinded into sauce-like substance. His was pretty standard I would say, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside but I have to admit it was quite huge in size. Mine, the boiled beef was soft and goes well with the spinach but according to E, it was pretty bland without the sauce. Now go imagine for yourself how everything looks like.

Inclusive of the beer, the bill came to:

2 Weissbier 0.5L :: 29.20
1 Pork Knuckle :: 32.00
1 Tafelspitz :: 24.90
10% Service Charge :: 8.61
7% GST :: 6.63

Total :: 101.30

OMGGGGGG! We kinda didn't expect that it would come to that amount. And to think that we didn't want to dine in Marche because we thought it would probably cost more. Besides, I kinda drank too fast in the end, hence I travelled home with my head pounding to the rhythm of Shake Your BonBon.

Should have gone for the Japanese buffet, should have gond for the Japanese buffet, should have...

Btw, just so you know, its already October, therefore please shout OKTOBERFEST!!!
