Random Images.

Lean Meat and Century Egg Porridge @ China Square. The porridge there is thick, hence filling and delicious but still not as yummy as the one in ChinaTown. 4 dollars btw.

Root Beer Float and Iced Water @ New York New York in CityLink. Didn't managed to photograph the food because we were too hungry that I totally forgot to do so. Part of Fish and Chips in the background.

Pai Ku (Pork Ribs) Ramen, one of my favourite @ Ajisen Ramen in Square 2. I tell you, this has to be the most quiet in the whole world, I've never seen so few customers in the many times that I've dined in other branches.

Random structure opposite of One Marina Boulevard and the upcoming Ascott Residentials or something like that. Supposed to mean something, there's a description there but I never really took the time to read through it.


Since its a random post, this is just FYI. There's now a new ruling in town (Singapore - only applicable to CBD), one can no longer flag down a cab or drop off anywhere as one pleases. You can now only do that at designated cab stands. On the first day of implementation, all the drivers of the cabs I boarded have nothing else but complaints on this ruling.

Their say, its really inconvenient for both the drivers and the passengers. For example, normally, I would request the cabbie to just drop me off at the side of the building but now, they would have to make a huge detour since they can't just stop anywhere anymore.

Thats a Lose-Lose situation. The passengers would have to spend more time and money on the journey and the cabbie having to make a long detours unnecessarily.

On the other hand, by stopping at designated areas, it can prevent the usual cases of 'cab stealing/hitching' since everyone would have to wait at the same area. Probably, at the same time, ease the flow of traffic a little as well, since cabs wouldn't be able to stop as they see fit.

I guess there'll always be two sides of everything. What say you?
