Life Sucks

Okay I know this is a bit late and everybody in cyberspace have talked to death about it but for those who really blur until don't know what is going on - seems a lady wrote to the forum to complain about smelly NS men on public buses. She relates that her daughters were traumatised by the smell and she is now calling for NS men to be banned on public transport and suggested that they should take taxi instead. Read the full article here . First of all, to be fair to her, I do agree that some NS men do smells. So does some foreign workers. So does some local people. In fact, so does me (especially after run) - so how - ban everybody from taking public transport? Other than this single point of agreement, I think she should be the one taking the taxi since she obviously is more atas than the rest of us common people. And I hope to goodness she does not develope BO. And very obviously, she got to ban her daughters from ever marrying local man since they all go to go army. As to what t...

I lo ve the Nobody song. The first one a parody by Mr Brown was hilarious. So is this: Kids nowadays are so talented.

Not that type of bao.... but the real edible type. Was at Red Star Restaurant at Chin Swee Road last week and of course we had to have their Big Bao. Those in the know will know that it is no ordinary big. By big, I mean big big as in humogous. Here it is next to the pretty little lady. Machiam like an advertisement for some facial products. Noticed how it is almost as big as her face. Then there is the Gozilla bao . No pretty lady in this photo though. Just a coffee cup and 2 regular size buns. So which is bigger? Or more importantly, which is better? Curious to know? Go and try it yourself lah.

Was on the way home this morning driving along Xilin Ave and saw this man hitting another man. Apparently the guy had hit his van from behind at the traffic light judging from the position of the car although I didn't see any visible damages. To his credit, the victim who was much bigger size did not hit back and merely warded off the blow from the aggressor who looks to be in his fifties or sixties. Being a kiasu Singaporean, I did not stop but merely sounded the car horn loudly. The guy behind me also did so or is it because he was angry I slowed down? Last I could see from the rearview mirror, the aggressor had crossed the road to the Expo side, presumably to get out of the rain? Anyway, I was wondering. What is it about driving that turn normal man into red hot blooded monster? Somebody hogged the road; cut you off; sound the horn for no apparent reason and our blood pressure goes up, all sort of languages come out of the mouth and we start chasing after the car, glare at the o...

Saw this at a popular local food centre. Guess what the stall is selling? Looks like Chinglish is not the exclusive language of China.

Another 1, 2, 3 posting but of a different nature from this. 1. 5.30 am. Woke up, stared at the clock and turned to the Mrs who was still sleeping. "Hey wake up! Why are you still sleeping?""Rush out, woke the Princess up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Then the Mrs came and said "Hey you siow? Wake up so early for what?" Hmmm??? Didn't we all overslept? Isn't it time for school already? Isn't it 6.30am already? What a dork. I woke up 45mins too early! Went back to sleep. What a waste of precious sleeping time! [Sigh] 2. 6.15 am. Yah now the real time. Back in the kitchen preparing breakfast. The egg refuses to listen and don't want to form the perfect omelette! And then suddenly there was a fire. Shit, the wrapper for the ham had caught fire! Tried to blow it out but the stupid thing keep spreading. Hell no choice dumped the whole thing, ham and paper and plastic into the basin and let the tap run. [Double sigh] 3. 6.45 am. In the...

The Princess has gotten into a mini sort of baking craze and we are her guinea pig but I happy to say that so far nobody has upset stomach and she's getting better by the weeks as she innovate with whatever ingredients available at home. It didn't look so good although it tasted decent enough. It is supposed to be a brownie cake. This is mashmallow cookies. Tasted err interesting. M&M Peanut Cookies. Also come with Hershey chocolate. Didn't look too good but taste great One of my favourites. Orea cupcakes. Muffins but where are the muffin top. Somehow they didn't rise enough but it taste okay still. And last but not least- today's creation. Looks too cute to eat but they really taste great.

This morning at the petrol station opposite our temporary office, saw a colleague buying a bottle of mineral water. I know she must be cursing and swearing at me inside. Last week when we first came to this temporary office (safety precaution in view of the H1N1 thingy), I told everybody that we will not be replenishing the stock of bottled water once the stock finishes. So since then some of them have been buying their own bottled notwithstanding that the temp office is a fully furnished office with a pantry, kettle and fridge. Call me kiamsiap or what but why waste money to buy water when it is available freely from the tap? Bottled water comes in 2 forms - either mineral or purified . First purified water - they are either known as drinking water, purified water or distilled water but whatever it is, the true fact is - it is just plain tap water that has been filtered to remove the chlorine, flouride and other chemicals (purified or distilled water) or worse, just normal tap water (...

Is it normal for men to forget dates or is it just me? Last week, while on the way to work, she casually mentioned it was our 19th wedding anniversary and I was "oh shit". Yah I had totally forgotten about it. Luckily for me, she was busy with work and I think (and I hope) she wasn't expecting anything. Okay managed to get her for lunch and we went to Rama Tha i. Rama Thai is well known for their shark fin but being a environmentally friendly conscious eater, we didn't order that. Actually I was just being stingy. We had the usual Thai kway teow, tom yum soup, prawncake (very good) and crayfish with chai poh (very very nice). Okay that took care of lunch. For dinner, we went with the kids to a zhi-zhar restuarant, Big-Eater near our place. Had passed by the place many times but never actually went in before so since everybody favourite was seafood; to be precise, crab we decided to check out the place. The place was very spacious occupying 3 shops unit with an outd...

How time flies! Last year around this time, went for a durian party and now I'm back with a different group of friends. Wanted to go back to Four Seasons at Joo Chiat but was told it had closed down already. Well no problem, a click on ieatishootipost and voilia, a new outlet to try. This one is just a teeny weeny little stall along East Coast Road. Not like those mammoth stalls in Geylang or Balestier. Fortunately, our objectives was to savour the good quality durians - not the kampung type as the stall only carries so called 'branded' durians. We first tried the Red Prawn and all agreed it was so so. Not really a big deal. Next we had the Mao Shan Wang which was a gigantic size durian with equally huge seed. At $13/kg, this was the most expensive and we had high expectation. Okay this was good but to our surprise and delight, what we took next beat the King of the Durian. It was a no contest. David vs Goliath and David came out top. The 2 small little JIn Feng (Golden P...
