FOOD FOOD FOOD - and short hair

This was a way outdated pic. Guess who this is!I had the intentions to go home after project meeting in the late afternoon to take a nap, but I ended up at my secret hideout yesterday because I overslept on the train from Pioneer and when I woke up, Halliluya.... I was at RedHill already. In order to make myself feel not so stupid, I decided I am going out to study. Had this macadamia caffe latte a drink which was supposed to give an aromatic nutty taste as quoted from the menu, but my tastebuds could not find any nutty taste, much less the much wanted taste of macadamia nuts. Just another nice cup of coffee. - $5.30. If you wanna see picture refer to Amaretto caffe latte. Looks exactly the same. Wonder why.
Went to find my mom after that for a interview session for my 21st century project. I was intending to pack a cake for her and to my pleasent surprise, there was a one-for-one offer for the $6 bucks cheese cake there=). Got the Brownie Chesecake, which was a huge contrast in terms of taste and texture to the Oreo Cheesecake. The Oreo one was soft, creamy and melts in the mouth like sour cheese candy floss, totally heavenly with a balanced mixture of sweet oreo and cheese, but the Brownie one had a thick layer of chocolate on tip and it was like cruching on a hard peice of 50 cents chocolate and the cheese part felt like it was left out in the open for too long and had hardened. We didn't finish the Brownie one in the end. A TCC outing with shawn. You won't see any of us here coz we had weird hairstyles tt day and decided NO PICTURES of us. I had my hair cut short earlier in the day and Shawn was
  1. aghast with surprise. ~mailto:~!@#$%^&*()
  2. then overcomed with a huge desire to laugh !@#$%&*()!@#%&*()_~!@$%&*()!@#$%^&
  3. and eventually got used to it -.-
  4. and he had a great deal of time making fun of my hair.
I've forgotten to note the names and prices so maybe I'll update it next time. It was a strawberry dinner.
Shawn's pasta with smoked salmon.

MINE!! I really like the well 'garnished' bread. Just look at all the ingredients in the spreading. Not your normal butter!
The sausages (two of em) was juicy and lip smacking too. Crispy on the outside, juicy at the insides. with CHEESE.



Shared. Strawberry Cheese cake with Vanilla Ice Cream.
I also tried one of the set meals at my secreat hideout. Had the Seafood Marinara Set Meal- assorted seafood and linguine sauteed in herbed tomato sauce. The sauce was pretty normal, nothing great at all about it, but I must compliment the seafood! The fish, prawns, sotong and clams were all so fresh and delicious, like those I get at CafeBiz at M Hotel. They are really abundant in the plate too!!! Just look at the second photo! Serving was big so with the really good seafood, I must say this plate may be undercharged!


Complimentary Mushroom Soup. Well, good try with the fresh mushrooms... but the soup's too blend. Tasted only better with pepper.
Since I was staying for some time, I topped up another 2 bucks for this Garlic Bread Basket. I feel so healthy eating it! No visable sugar bits, totally wholemeal with visable seeds and oats, cruchy on the outside soft at the insides... it was the highlight of the set meal =P

Amaretto caffe latte combination of almond, hazelnut and caramel taste. This one has the nutty taste =) Spent a total of about 22 plus here. Given tt I settled lunch, tea and dinner here... ok lar hor. A long ago dessert time at TCC again... the Green one's suppose to be Green Tea, but it didn't taste like it. The one in the middle, Strawberry Cheesecake. (EH??!!! Shawn! I tot we had the blueberry one!!!! ) The one at the right's a reccomend. It's called mont blanc. We could not decipher the taste.. but its abit nutty... anyway's, it's good. Go try it sometime.
We had tea after tt... a really aromatic and fruity one and I really liked the transparent cups ...


I had a haircut on Tuesday and the hairdresser, after learning that I had long hair for 7 years, decided to cut everything away and make it short. yes. SHORT. So now, after 7 happy year of long flowy permed once, highlighted twice, rebonded twice with countless treatments, he cut everything away. They should be all in the dustbin now. And I didn't ask for it. I simply state my threshold for the minimum lengths and trusted him and I ended with a 4 inch difference.
Feedbacks were great.
Like
My mom - GOOD! You don't look fierce anymore!!!! ( You mean I look fierce to you?)
Daddy - Wow!!! You look so much younger!!! Suits your age! ( How old did I exactly looked previously?!)
Joseph - OMG!!! You looke like a GIRL now!!! (I LOOKED LIKE A BOY WITH LONG HAIR??!!!)
NK - *laughs* *snugs* *giggles* *finally* - You know what you look like?! You look like a DOLL!!! ( WOw... thanks. I take tt as a compliment)
NO PICTURES FOR 3 MONTHS!

Bastards.

Watched inglorious bastards with the bastard on my right who pulled me to watch this show and the obese bastard on my left who just can't stop talking non-stop to another bastard on my lefts' left, who ain't even embarrassed or apologise with he rubbed his head against my leg when he was searching for something under his seat halfway through the show and whose handphone rang (out loud) during the movie and he just had to yell into the phone:" HEY! I"M WATCHING INGLORIOUS BASTARDS!"

HEY! LIKE WE ALL DON'T KNOW MAN!!!!

Bastards. Including the show. NEGATIVE 5 STARS FOR IT.

Phantom

Why can't they just leave them alone when they are of no treat to anyone anymore? Why can't they just let them leave the life they want after ruining them so much? Why can't they just let them go to pursue a simple wish, a simple life? Especially when they have just found what they want...

Anyway... its just an anime.

Going to my secret hideout tml!!! Heh Heh Heh!!!

Today

This is so damn cool! Although it was just to see two sun spots smaller than this ---> . . and the moon which actually looks better without the telescope =P, IT'S STILL DAMN COOL LAR!!! Just looking into the lens is cool enough for me! I have decided that from now on I shall pursue my first dream ambition ( being the first astronaut to run on the rings of Jupiter) and my first step is to ace astronomy in NTU! I was done with facial at 2.30pm and wanted to get to my secret hideout ( look at my previous post. The place where I had the alcoholic honey coffee) asap to have a try at their set lunch BUT I just had to bloody hell lose my way and ended up at ChinaTown. I came from TANJONG PAGAR. So I decided not to lose my pride and walk back ( not take the MRT to Bugis) and viola! I landed at Raffles Place. -.-

It was 4 and I decided it's gonna be just another 3.5hrs more to dinner with family at The Central so I walked back to China Town again and then to The Central. I did not give up looking for Bugis ok? I simply decided to change venue ^.^

So I had to look for a place to eat, sit and study. Choose The Coffee Club at The Central. Had this for lunch. The first to go into my mouth was the mushroom, but it tasted sourly weird and I didn't really like it. Must be the kind of mushroom they used. The beef had a nice texture, not too soft, not too hard, not to dry, not too watery... but it was also not hot and not cold. I'd prefer it to be like steaming hot coz it feels weird to be biting into something at room temperature when it was supposed to be served hot. Surprisingly, the long beans tasted wonderful and the mashed potato was splendid! The potato was hot and really warmed my stomach, but not to my toes though was the menu promised. A snapshot of the menu about this particular Beef Dude is below.


I'm sorry this turned out like this. To read this, simply turn your head till you can comfortable read the words. Hint: It's English. Note that the price stated is RAW. Add some ++ behind. The star at the side means it had clinched some kind of excellence award. A view from where I was sitting. =) Love Views and Ambiance.


Something I might just try.

7 - Eleven together with their customer service is really bad. I'm not gonna talk about the 7-Eleven part but when I called the customer service to complain, the auto message was like ' We are open from Monday to Friday, 6am to 6pm. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.' It was 12midnight on a Friday. So great. I have to wait till Monday 6am to call to complain. Nice way to make people cool down and maybe not complain anymore.
I mean, if your 7-Eleven is 24 hours 7, then you better make sure your customer service is 24hours 7. Now that is what I call Customer Service!

SAme Same but different

Same Same... But Different....



This is what I see on the T-shirt I got from Vietnam 9 months ago.

This is what many many people see on the T-shirts they got from Vietnam at probably 2 Sing.

This is what I saw just now as the Tagline for a NTUC advertisement at Boon Lay MRT.



Sure it's catchy and it'll prob give high recall rates... but can't NTUC or it's marketing department think of some other more unique and innovative.. or should I say.. their OWN tagline when they decided to come up with this ad? Aren't they worried that people will link NTUC to Vietnam and not our very own Singapore?

To me this tagline belongs to the Vietnamese and the Girls who were selling these shirts in the markets in Ho Chi Minh City, and if I were to be asked/surveyed about the tagline - Same Same But Different, I'd talk about the shirts and my wonderful experience in Vietnam, not some NTUC advertisement that turned me off so much and preoccupied my mind with disgust, I can't be bothered to read anything else in the ad.


That's not if the ad is about NTUC venturing into Vietnam... I didn't finish reading the ad. Maybe I should go back and finish reading the ad.


Otherwise, Bad advertisement.
