Ibis Buffet Breakfast~!

Last weekend was our last $1 stay at Ibis Hotel and we finally had their buffet breakfast. Even though the dishes are not of much variety, the food served is still quite tasty. I purposely brought my camera along to take some photos.

I think I had tried almost all the food at the buffet table - bacon, chicken sausage, scrambled egg, baked bean, fried rice, salad, steamed yam cake, whole meal bread, french toast, hash brown, skimmed milk, full cream milk, apple juice, chocolate cake, blueberry cake and an apple.

Here the photos I took
Mmmm... yummy bacon, hash brown and scrambled egg.

Real Love Works 2009 @ Marina Barrage

Few day before, I saw an advertise by Marriage Central "Real Love Works 2009" on 21st March 2009 (Saturday) from 5pm to 8pm. They have a programs call fly your love so I decided to bring her there and give her a surprise.

This afternoon we have to go out to attend a nutrition talk about "Heart Disease" from 2pm to 5pm. When she almost done I went down first to warm up my bike and waited for her. I'm wore the jacket and helmet waiting for about 10 minutes and the weather was hot so I just want to called her and check she had ready? She never pick up and call. When she came down she very angry that I keep pushing her and cause her forgot to bring her jacket. After this, we quarrel for nothing. End up I accidently scratched my bike and drop my grove to don't know where.

We are always late because of quarrel. Lucky when we reached the Nutritionist haven't start his talk yet. He came from China, Xia Men and his name is Liang Zhi Da. He had done Nutrition study and research for more than 10 years and he got a lot of Nutritionist Certificate from different country like China, Macau, Hong Kong and United State of America. In the talk, he really shared a lot of his knowledge to us and I also learned something new and useful that can help myself, my family and my friends. More details and info Click Here

We rushed over to Marina Barrage after the talk but on our way there is a bit drizzling and cloudy. First thing into my eyes is the purple colour balloons. There are full of purple colour balloons to supply for people who want to participate fly your love and kids. Not only free balloons. Organiser also prepare a lot of free goodie bags, chocolates, popcorns, candy floss and drawing. I think the most attractive part should be the lucky draw. Our lucky draw serial no is 0354 but we'll never win the prize because we are not register online they don't have any our info or contact number and we left at 7pm for Scooter Outing at East Coast Park. Below are some photos I took.

Don't Push Your Luck by Parking Your Car Downstairs

Just now I was on my way home to change. When I rode past this car, we heard a loud "bang". It sounded like someone jumped off from the building and landed on the car's windscreen. I immediately looked up but I could not see anyone nor anything wrong. I only saw a lot of neighbours looking out from their windows and I just parked my bike by the side and walked closer to the car to have a look.

What I saw was just a broken plant pot on the windscreen. But all the pots of plants that I can see on the floors above are all behind the railings. Did someone throw the vase down? At first, I was still worried about seeing a dead body on the car's windscreen! I think I was thinking too much! Hahaha...

Finally the owner came down. He walked towards my wife and I to ask me we had seen anything. I just told him that I didn't see anything and that I had just stopped to have a look after I heard the loud sound. He looked very frustrated and kept calling on his handphone. About 2 minutes later, his girlfriend came down, who seemed more upset than her boyfriend.

I think this is a very good example and reminder to those who have money to buy car but not willing to pay for the parking and always park their cars downstairs. So don't push your luck; otherwise your car may end up like the picture shown below. =)


GOOD LUCK TO ALL CAR OWNERS WHO PARK BELOW HDB FLATS~!

My 1st Try of KOBE Beef

Humans need food to supply energy to survive. Other than this we also need to satisfy our sight, smell and taste, my wife and I were always thinking where to eat and what to eat everyday. Last night, she checked this website www.hungygowhere.com and searched for good food near our place. 

We had long wanted to go explore Sunset Way, so she searched for some good eating places there. She mentioned "Grill-Out" and I remembered watching MediaCorp's recommendation of "Grill-Out", an American Restaurant at Sunset Way and the environment was also quite good. Hence we decided to go "Grill-Out" to have our dinner.

We reached about 8.30pm and it was full of people. There were only 3 empty tables when we reached. The environment and atmosphere there were good especially after the rain. Pork collar and pork shoulder are recommended on the website and we had never eaten KOBE beef before. We know KOBE beef is one of the most expensive and special beef meat. Please refer to this link if you would like to know more about what is KOBE beef. A 180g tenderloin KOBE beef cost us S$68 which is considered a reasonable price so we ordered a KOBE beef tenderloin, pork collar and pork shoulder kebab.

First dish served was pork shoulder kebab, followed by pork collar and KOBE beef. All the dishes were delicious and tasty. Really a must try and recommended is pork shoulder kebab and pork collar. What a pity I didn't bring my camera along. Next time I make sure I'll bring along my camera to eat and take some nice photos of the food there. 

Next to the Grill-Out there is one recommended Japanese style steamboat restaurant. It seems very good for friends or family to chill and hang out.

Grill-Out, I'll be back~!

New Trend?

Have you read the news during the past few months? Did you notice a new trend in the younger generation and what they do? Take for example the recent news about this secondary school couple hugging, kissing and even having oral sex in the day time at a public area - at one of the MSCP (Multi Storey Car Park) in Hougang.

Today I also saw such behaviour when I was delivering goods to Yishun Ring Road. I rode into the MSCP and was looking for a bike parking lot but I couldn't find any empty lot. What can I do? Just continue riding up the MSCP and see if there are anymore empty lots at the top. When I reached the 4th or 5th floor of the MSCP, I was surprised to see a group of about 6 to 7 of secondary students there. They were sitting on 2 big mats with some drinks and snacks. I'm wondering what are they doing at a deserted part of the MSCP? Why don't they just hang out at those fast food restaurant where their is air-conditioning? Is it because they are engaging in illegal activities?

Technology is growing so fast such that with just a click you can find any information you want within seconds. This causes youngsters nowadays to be more curious and would like to try having sex. You can read from the papers how many people had been jailed for having sex with the underaged or how many secondary students had become a unwed mothers? Actually I quite worried about my child in the future when we decide to have kids.

Foreign Labour In Singapore

Today I helped my office send goods to some NTUC Unity Healthcare outlets. Luckily it rained after I had finished sending all the goods for today.

Actually I found out something when I went to Changi Terminal 1 to collect returned goods from Guardian. When I reached the departure hall I saw a lot of people there but they are not Chinese or Caucasian. They are all M.I.B (foreign labour). Other than Bangladeshi labour increasing, Chinese labour is also increasing in Singapore. Once you step out of your house you'll hear them talking loudly no matter where they are and in their mother tongue.

I'm doubtful why so many companies employ those Chinese who can't speak or understand simple English to work for them. Especially those who are working in service line. As we know English is universal language of Singapore. For me, I had some experience staying with some Chinese. I find that they are very dirty; for example one of them actually soaked his socks in the basin! Also they never do household chores for the year I stayed with them; usually my friend and I cleaned the whole house. They even left all those dirty dishes in the basin and do nothing until we asked them to wash them.

Just be careful your Chinese colleague around you because they'll do anything to achieve what they want and also cover your a**hole. Hope we all can keep our job while Chinese new citizen/PR increasing. =)
