Was so busy this last week till this week. Didn’t have time to post. And Posting posts here also very laggy. Anyway, today is my folks wedding anniversary and Simon’s birthday. Will add the content when I have the time.

Anyway.. Nothing really significant did happen and mostly were all work or classes at night.

So bored that I took a couple of photos of my lessons in SIM.

SIM University, Clementi Center

It’s always smiles when the snacks are egg sandwiches.

Lost in Tutorials!

Happy smiles everywhere…. but wait….

take a close look at this guy(Shiun)… before he went home to do his tutorial…

…after 20 hours of struggling with his tutorial… SCARY !

So you guys think studying at UNISIM very senang meh ? Guess again !

iClone Trial Test : We dance not bad ah ? Software $300 SGD.. should I buy ?

Had a rather peaceful weekend this week. Spend most of the time playing with iClone. Other than that was mostly about having meals out during the weekend.

Dinner at Jurong West BLK 456 Kopitiam (Saturday 9th September, Evening)

Just near my house area, but never really tried it much.. so went to test the bbq there.. Sedap ! Especially if you like BBQ seafood. (CANTONESE: MO TAK DENG AH !)

Well, I can’t pronounce the chinese words, but that’s the kopitiam name right ?

Never underestimate the power of the fried rice! This fried rice isn’t your average $3 Yang Chow fried rice you order at any “Tzi Cha” Stall. The fragrance of the fried rice is so darn good, plus its just nice in terms of oil, and fried to perfection, not too dry or wet ! In fact, its really a “zhao pai” dish on its own. Not joking ! Do I look like I’m from Jacky Wu Zhong Xian’s “Shi Zhi Lu Kou”? So trust me ya !

The lala is not bad. I prefer the one at Pasir Panjang though.. I can say the one here tastes good, but nothing special lor..

Sting Ray is meaty, Chilli is good.. One of the few good ones around. Confirm must order item also.

Surprise inclusion ! BBQ Flower Crabs ! From my veteran tastebuds, they spend a lot of work on their crabs ! They steam, marinate and than BBQ ! And although flowercrabs, they got meat ! Not like those Shell Big big, but meat so little and pathetic ! And its cheap ! Taste so good, that honestly feel like eating it again.. Not expensive somemore.. $6 for large ones, $5 for small ones ! Smells and taste so good… even the aftertaste lingers for long! MUST MUST MUST ORDER ! 5 stars rating.

Frankly speaking, Makan there is good ! Prices are not super special, but really no complains of quality.. Any BBQ seafood lovers ? Go must jio me also wor !

Holiday Inn Hotel (Sunday 10th September 2006,evening)

Was having dinner at Holiday Inn Plaza for a small celebration of Mom’s Birthday. Things to note, great appetisers, salads, pastries and great Durian !!!!!

Appetizing isn’t it ? Sister you missed out ! Hahaha ! From Top, Smoked Salmon, Some sort of Aboloney, Roast Beef, Californian roll and Scallop sushi (chuka hotate ?) Potato Salad, Crabmeat Salad, Top shell Salad.

Lydia was very impatient.. she just couldn’t wait to eat !

My folks, so who do I resemble more ?

Mom & Auntie Irene. Mom tried very very hard to keep her eyes big !

Was having a short stroll after dinner.. Hmm.. can try…Maybe next week..

Feragamo.. hmm… sexy.

Eski Bar @ Holland Village (10th September 2006, Even Later evening)
Had a small meet up with best bro GZ. We haven’t had a drink together for sometime, except those kopitiam drinks.. So was bored in jurong so we drop by Holland Village for drinks at Eski Bar, cause drinks are 1 for 1 on Sunday mah ! We also tested the chiller room..

Ever since his Hong Kong Trip, GZ always makes it a point to drink like a Hong Kong Yuppie.

In the chiller Room ! Wah Lau eh ! Super Leng ah !

Muscle contraction.. Because too cold.. Mai Gey Kiang lar..

And oh yah, start of IMF, for all those MATA friends of mine and those PENG KIAs friends, have fun on your duty ! LOL !

Created my blogskin for september. Thought this animation matches the music ! Peek-a-boo!

Sigh * looking at my poor rose.. dying… Thanks for the effort girls… I really appreciate it… But well.. AT LEAST my rose lasted 6 days..

Sweet ah.. Teacher’s Day rose from the students.. Day 6..

Anyway.. contemplating on whether to take my masters and give up my honours.. tao tia.. but what to do ? Life is full of decisions.. Anyway.. Lyds starting her new career.. hope she has fun there.. Other than that.. been a day of muscleaches.. I dunno why.. but my body is acting up.. sigh * still got RT coming in october.. dunno how to tahan..

Anyway, picked this article from miw.com.sg , which used to be the NSMan’s url before they changed to NSSG, now becoming a guys online male mag…

Interesting !

Pub liners Ladies don’t want to hear.The moment any guy opens his mouth and throws a woman a pick-up line, his words immediately override his looks. A bad first move can transform a stud to dud in a flash. Babble, mumble or stumble and the proverbial cold shoulder awaits. Language can pose a problem. So be sure the woman understands you, otherwise even the best pick-up line will have zero effect. Here’s a tip. Be alert and discretely approach the bartender as she makes her order, and listen attentively. Granted the din in any pub may require raise voices, avoid shouting into a woman’s ear. Use a pen and pretend to fumble for a loose piece of paper to write down what you want to say. You don’t want to pull out a note pad, which can appear nerdy or make you seem as if you do this for a living. Truth be told, a woman likes to feel special, as if she is the only one that got you to act with ’such uncharacteristic spontaneity’.
Be careful with your tone because there is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Eye contact is important and emphasises your genuine interest. Unless you want to end up scraping your melted ego off the floor, forget about a false front or slang. You might impress upon some unsuspecting female but if a woman consciously chooses to sit at the bar solo, she knows the game and its players.Mannerism and approach aside, cheesy pickup lines can leave us feeling more flustered than interested. I solicited the help of my girlfriends on one of our recent girls’ night out at Boat Quay to build a list of really bad pick-up lines. Three pubs later, a decent list was developed and here are seven of the most common ones we heard that night. All cheesy, all lame and all, well, unoriginal.
7. Do you come here often? How come I’ve never seen you before?
6. What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
5. Are you a model or something?
4. Excuse me, can I buy you another drink to cool your hot body down?
3. Are you looking for some fun tonight? Hi, my name is Some Fun Tonight!
2. You look like my ex-girlfriend.
1. You look like my girlfriend. (Duh!)

The pick-up lines that worked best were simple but yet promoted conversation, e.g. about the music, the place, the people and compliments that were not too over-the-top. ‘Yes-and-no’-type questions get you no where. Talk about yourself too much and it’s a turn off. Ask too personal a question and up goes a defensive wall. So just go with the flow and take things to different levels each time she issues a hint verbally or through her body language. A woman is unlikely to take her seat at the bar wanting to be alone for the night. It may not be sex she’s after but chilling company. Still, it’s a step in the right direction. If you come off like its sex that you must end the night with, chances are, a cold shower is the only thing that will offer you comfort for the night.

It was a pretty hectic week.

So boh eng. Busy with SIM classes and a lot of impromptu madness… Anyway.. some of the highlights for my week were …

Teacher’s Day Dinner (30th Aug 2006, Wednesday)

Had dinner at Keppel Club’s Kippo Restaurant. Had a pretty good dinner. Don’t want to go into some details.. Instead.. some pictures here…

Went to be a kaypoh and joined table 11 for photos.


My Table, unfortunately 2 of the trainee teachers will be leaving this week.

Teacher’s Day Celebration (31st Aug 2006, Thursday)

Was so suuuuayyy ! Dropped my mobile phone on the taxi. Heng, the next customer that picked it up was honest and allowed me to retrieve it back from her. Other than that rain so heavily, want to play basketball also cannot.

Fortunately, got a swee swee rose from my students and some nice gifts. Enough to make my day.

Shabu Shabu Sunday (3rd Sept 2006, Sunday)

To make it an interesting weekend, I and Lyds decided to play the “family dinner@home” game and cook some beef Hotpot style. So we rushed down to Jurong Point. Which was really packed because of some show thingy..
