Place no 2: The Rice Table (IndoChinese Crusine Buffet Style) beside centrepoint shopping centre at the row shophouses

Recommendation: 3 star

Reason: Nice ambience (interesting dinning concept in the sense that all the food is serve to you once hehe), good services, food suitable for people who like lemom grass flavoured indochinses food, food slightly too salty for me haha...no wonder called the "rice table" cause got to eat alot of rice to overcome the salty food hehe...

Place no 3: Dragon Gate Restuarant Ala Carte Buffet Dinner(At Habour Front centre level 4)

Recommendation: 3 and half star (sister branch to chinese resturant at Mirama Hotel which I give 4 and half star)

Reason: The food is good with good variety as well but slightly more expensive then Mirama Hotel and the service is quite bad as the staff are quite rude.

Prices: $24+++ per pax as compared to Mirama Hotel of $18+++ per pax for dinner prices.

Must try: The salad prawn, chilli crab, steam fish (noted that the fried prawns there are not very fresh...the one at Mirama Hotel is better)


Roasted Chicken


Salad Prawns


Steam fish, steam prawn, chilli prawns and fried cereal prawns (this is not fresh)


Shark fin soup


Paper Wrapped Chicken


Sea cucumber with Vegetables, Sambal Sotong and Eefu Mee (The eefu mee taste terrible)

~My New Hp Sony Ericssion K810i Yipi!!! Thanks Deardear Muack!!!~

Went over to Plaza Singapura to get a new hp as my current hp abit "sortsort" liao hehe...

Me and deardear were looking at the range of hp deciding between Sony Ericsson K810i, the Samaung two sided phone and the newest LG shine.

The Samsumg phone is so cool 2 sided screen and button hehe but I guess the sms screen is too small to see only 2 lines.

The LG Shine is really classic and beautiful with the whole phone being shinning silver color and made of aluminium... its so call "unscratchable" but I guess the colors of the screen is still not as sharp.

After much consideration, decided to get the Sony Ericssion K810i due to the camera features.

So me and deardear took a queue no (7208) if I am not wrong and we went for dinner....haha lucky we smart go for dinner as hor after our dinner of 1 hour plus it just passed our turn by 1 hehe....

Thanks deardear for buying the hp for me (PS to Jason deardear:I love u so much hehe muack!!!)

Below are the pic of the phone :)






The Phone's Specs

Btw the hp I bought is abit sort sort cause when I haven even message any message out it registered that 1 mgs is being sent out....mm...I wonder did the starhub people give me a used hp and all the components in the hp box are not seal up all the packages are stick by scotchtape....anyone bought a similiar hp like??? Or I am jus being paranoid?

And ya the hp also hang after I plugged the USB port out of the pc after doing pc file transfer.... is that the case for a new sony ericsson hp....

Maybe I should go down to starhub tml and reflect it to them....

~NDP 2007 at Marina Bay!!!~

Now at national libaray accompany my deardear.... poor him have to study and teeth pain some more cause he just went to the dentist this morning as his one of his teeth chip think bite something hard....haiz.... poor thing....teeth bleeding still have to study for exams haiz....

Ya this is me hehe nothing to do at the library so using my laptop for blogging loh.... hehe ya here are some of the photos I took during the NDP preview the Sat 1 week before the actual day (haha cause i forgot the date liao)....

Ya wanna say thanks to deardear's brother Andy that every year we get to go to the National Day Parade or the preview as he is in some RC committee or something. (Yes heard that this year tickets are really hard to get!!!)

Yes we were quite late for the NDP show as I didn’t expect that it will start so early this year. But we were lucky that the queue to go inside the sitting area wasn’t that long.

However, we still ended up sitting at the back row near the side.... though the view is not as good but it wasn’t too bad either as it is more spacious and we got to change seats as the person beside me...it occupying 1 and 1/2 seat and that half belong to me????

The overall view stage as shown below hehe...



Big balloons yipi!!! I love balloons :)


The crowd....if u notice opposite the merlion there, people without the tickets are sitting and watching the parade as well hehe...


Ok while deardear is busy taking photos I am busy searching the goodie bag...(Where is the fans and water I am so hot!!! haha)

Then the Uniform group marching...forming the word NDP 2007


There goes our Singapore flag...it look bigger this year cause haha its nearer to the audience as compared to previous years in the national stadium.



Deardear and me (I look so blur???)


Flag flying high hehe


The commandos droping down the water


The Helicopter show I like this part the most (u can see the water splashing as well)...ya firing of the canon starts as well...


The start of the parade....I realised that the parade this year is really more beautiful than the previous years perhaps due to the lighting, technology (like fountains and lasers etc) and the enviroment around...or maybe I just like to be near water areas haha....

Evening time...


Water Parade....in case u are wondering what is the shining light flowing down, its not light its fire sparks!!!


Lights, dancing incoporating the water fountain.


Kit Cham singing....noticed all the star star lighting everyone is holding that is so nice.


Another show...haha it reminds me of the sentosa new musical fountain show....


Laser Show this is nice


Another with smoke effect


The last performance where everyone is singing


Another view


The finale...and the start of the fireworks


Too bad didnt get much good pic of the firework as it is too near the audience and it is very smokey.....haha deardear managed to get better pictures than me :p

Fireworks to the sky


Fireworks from the stage






I like this can see 3 layers of it...




Wonder wat is that bunch of light at the bottom right hand corner of the photo doing at every pic I took. haiz...


Deardear with the 2 star star haha (see I take nice photos...look... clear foreground and background.... the person who take for us in the next photo shown cannot make it la haiz...)


Deardear and me

~Job Searching Dilemma~

Started my job search process since 14 Jun….send countless amount of resume to countless company…..

Jobs Interviews that I went, the job offers that I had and job offers that I rejected…too many till I don’t remember….let me try to recall

1. Mediterance Shipping— Account Executive (this is a big company, but cant handle the job scope)

2. Klandee— Operation Executive (this company offer really good pay and benefits but it’s a really small company)

3. Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society—Communication PR Executive (good job, good prospect, good exposure but lower pay (but I can understand cause charity ma…pay suppose to be low…)

4. MEP system—Sales Engineer (good pay, good prospect but hard job due to onsite to the ship…suitable for guy though)

5. HSBC—Personal Financial Consultant (no basic pay, have to sell insurance maybe I not that aggressive)

6. HSBC—Call centre Primer Client (high pay, good prospect but shift work)

6. UOB—Personal Banker (basic pay good and after probation very good but have to sell insurance 50% of the time and sign bond)

7. First Principle Financial—Financial Planner (Sell income shield…Maybe consider as part-time job)

8. Citispa— Marketing Executive (Very good job exposure, good stepping stone for future career but low pay and long job hours for me)

18. M1—Trainer (had a telephone interview with them 2 days ago will be getting back to me next week…finger cross!!!)

19. PPL Shipyard by Semicorp (Big Company….interviewing for engineering job)


Job searching is tiring. I dun wan to keep going for interviews and rejecting jobs……
Why is it so difficult to find a 9-5 job that pays $2500 for a company with more than 30 workers that require no night shit work/ 24hr standby or insurance......

Interview until sian…search job until sian… hope to get a job soon….
Wish me good luck hehe ;p
