ok lets start with US first
I think top of my list is NCIS, yeah I am not like others who is crazy about gossip girl, desperate housewives or those law stuff or funny stuff like how i met your mother

to me NCIS is fun to watch because it is funny especially a character named Dinozzo, and I have the dvDs from season 1 to 6 now..and starting on 7. and there is Ziva who always mixed up her English “jargon” and becomes very funny..well of course only if u know the finer points of english language,ok its not literature stuff and those who speak english on daily basis should be able to understand.
to me it is like those Jack Neo Movies that is in Hokkien, some of the Hokkien jokes that I often heard in Singapore I will understand, but most of them I wont and reading subtitles cannot really make me understand the full joke.
NCIS stands for naval criminal investigative service..which is kinda like CSI but different, not as dry as CSI i think.
anyway watch it and you will see what i mean
they have another spinoff called NCIS LA, quite the same formula, humorous with fun sciency stuff,
other series that I have includes Sex and the City (I think it is boring, i just wanted to see the fashion that everyone raves about, sometimes I think I follow the media too much)
Desperate Housewives, which is getting crazier, so I stopped watching, I am at season 4 only I think and I haven’t watch those DVds that I have bought
Gossip Girl, I have season 1 and I am bored of it already, i mean blake Lively and the other girl are beautiful, but really no value in watching
LOST, i like it but stopped watching after season 2 cos they r still lost
and Prison Break, one of my favourites but I haven’t continue watching the rest of the seasons.. cos yeah very busy
other reality tv shows like American Next top model, Idol and so you think you can dance are also some of the good ones.
btw I also have girl next door, to see what it was all about but as you might know, its just showing the huge mansion and the mundane things that the three girlfriends do, most stupid show ever
oh well
home sweet home now, by the time you read this
PS: really like budget airlines, I can afford to go home once a month, Cos, once a week I will also spend around 50 bucks on going out and watch a movie and have a meal outside, so rather than do that I can go home, eat home cooked food, play wii with my sis n bro, and go shopping/eating in rupiah, and paid by mommy and daddy
so happy
ok happy new year everyone
especially to my fellow tigers…Huat AH!!!
well some of the readers should know about MrK
in case you don’t already know, here he is
and here I am wishing all of u guys happy lunar new year and happy valentine’s day
these 2 pictures were taken at the RSN (Republic of Singapore Navy ) Yacht club, which is located just outside NUS, yeah in our own backyard
can walk there I swear… even nearer than west coast Mac
and over there they have nice restaurants, and chalets…yeah u heard me… very nice rooms facing the beautiful yachts, i am not sure if BBQ is allowed or u r forced to eat at their BBQ restaurant
anyway those things maybe next time
till then
sayoonara
as of now,
I havent decided what to eat for the birthday dinner tmr and the birthday cake too
well all those are trivial stuff
but for my new year resolutions and my birthday wishes, they are simple, to be closer to God, Family and friends
and to get a good job and good grades in my last semester
Happy birthday to Me!!
phew thanks to Blackra1n,
its a simple affair now
but I forgot about appsync n deleted my favourite apps thinking that they were useless
upgraded my iPhone to the 16gb one, thanks to mrK
and my first book of the year
the mile hi! club, by Janet Chew, a book about the experiences of stewardess
anyway
last piece of news, I AM taking Japanese this semester, long overdue!!! I love languages but i think Jap is a major challenge cos we need to master not just 1 or 2 styles of writing but 3, namely hiragana, katagana and kanji!!!
oh wish me luck and
shitsuree shimasu
Well firstly, I cant really eat chickens in Singapore because of their high hormonal content, so usually I avoid them.
but I always made exceptions at Arnold’s
their whole spring chicken at 9.90 is big enough for 2 plus their potato platter is me and MrK favourite weekend meal, accompanied by some shopping at the blogshops’ haunt City Plaza.
I think what is special about them is they have a bit of garlic on the recipe and their stuff is really crispy and nice, I especially love the potato skin in the potato platter. With the cheese, it was sinful but heavenly
Lots of beautiful ppl dressed in cheap stuff and looks very good, and that brings me back to new year resolutions no 1. Next time I WILL take pictures of them, well best of luck for their blogshops
anyway here is pictures
This was their 3-piece chicken meal, more expensive than the spring chicken meal n so not worth it, not as nice, and comes with sides that i dun really fancy like mashed potato and coleslaw
Their flagship outlet in city plaza, small place and can get very crowded during meal times.
They also have another outlet at Hougang Green shopping centre, i have been there, quality was kept constant, and an express outlet at Pasir Ris Park.
ever since I had the iPhone and its accompanying RSS reader, I have been a faithful reader of this GRS blog. It basically highlights tips on personal finance, eg eliminate debt, have emergency funds etc etc
to ways to cut down on living expenses.
There was one story on how one reader managed to cut his COMCAST (cable service in US) by half without any kind of service reduction.
so while I am the loser in the iPhone war, my BF brother bought the new 32GB iPhone 3GS only at 8 bucks compared to me… at 700 bucks.
I can take heart that I managed to cut down at least 5 bucks of my monthly subscription plus they are giving me free caller-id again, all it takes was one phone-call.
I will try to call and ask for better deal if they come up with one again.
all you have to do is ask
so I have been practising other things that the blog preach, but thats for another topic cos I am still far away from getting rich, it lets do it slowly
I had a great holidays, albeit a short one
and I will update more soon, right now I am busy with new school semester, taking a new language course and hopefully getting a job soon
I am also updating my iPhone to the latest firmware, so that will take sometime as usual.
and I am going on a short holiday in the coming weekend too.
and my new year resolutions are 5 simple things
1> Lose weight
2> Get a good-paying and non-boring job
3> Procastinate less
4> Get closer to God
5> Travel to a new country and read at least 10 more books
happy new year everyone!!
a few months ago, we went to swisshotel the stamford to enjoy the 1-for-1 semi-buffet lunch at swisshotel the stamford. it is called semi-buffet because only salad and desserts were free-flow and the main courses are one time order only
anyway lets get on with pictures
the place is very spacious, located on the second floor of Raffles City Shopping centre but it is connected to the hotel and it is one of the F n B place that belongs to the hotel
their place is very spacious but due to the specialty swiss stuff they served, not many people patronise this place.
our table with nice red accents
we ordered some local drinks, i think for him is some lime juice while ordered wintermelon tea
selection of salads,quite wide-range and they have my favourite corn salads
some beef soup, very very strong smell of beef, its really terrible
picture of the middle buffet area and the huge decors around the room
my main course, sausage with potato gratin, quite good, i like it
his main course was fish, it was also good and fresh. though it tasted a bit plain
their desserts was also good and chocolatey and run out fast and they do not replace promptly esp near the end of buffet hours, very disappointing!!
so overall, with 1-for-1 promo it was quite worth it, though you dont have to order drinks, plain water is served and it was better than the drinks, they have huge selection of cheese to so if u r a fan, it becomes even more worth it.
Modesto’s my fave italian restaurant (for now!, cos I think their standards dropping and their pasta is not as good as other’s but definitely way way way better than the overpriced Prego)
they have 3 branches, recently gave away a 30% discount voucher
so yeah vivocity’s one as usual not valid on sat and sunday
so we went to the orchard’s branch, parking was easy just next door at Forum so it was quite affordable as they charged a standard rate after 6 pm
anyway, still love the tiramisu and love the ambience , it was quite packed too but not full, so i dun really know why they need to give out discounts?
well its good for me!
