S.H.E concert

Ya... today is their concert day and I can't go... so sad! Last minute news is heard that Stephanie Sun will be one of the guest. Sigh...

But as it turn out, lucky I didn't buy the tickets 'coz today we're having farewell dinner for my cousin. My cousin Ivan and his wife Agi, will be staying in Australia for at least a few years for their missionary work. All the best to ya!

cooking mama

How I wish they have this game for PC as well! But alas, they only had it for Nintendo DS (what does DS stands for?)

Game plan sounds easy. Follow instructions and create 76 dishes using the recipes given. Start from basic 15, and expand the next 61 dishes. Cool, right?

They even have a sequel for Nintendo wii called Cooking Mama: Minna to Issho ni Oryouri Taikai!

The only cooking game that I've ever played so far, is the Restaurant Empire. But its more like managing a restaurant rather than a cooking game.

So, if they ever create one Cooking Mama for PC, I'll definitely buy!

is there life without tv?

For as long as I can remember, television has always been a part of my life. Almost every waking moment was spent in front of the television. Every meal time was always in front of the tv. My mom used to say that my eyes were glued to the tv set. Luckily it never dawned on her to ban television from my life ('coz my grades were still considered ok I guess!), or else how miserable would my childhood be? Haha!

And that was way back then when there were no such thing as internet nor computer. I am a small town kid and doesn't own any computer till I was in my twenties. But that was way back then...

So recently, the tv in my rented place decided to go on strike. Oh, it did gave us some warnings. When we switched it on, it'll give some hissing sound but as usual, none of us gave any second thoughts on that. Till one fine day, it not only produced the usual hissing sound but accompanied but some popping sound as well and the screen will flicker. It does sound like it was going to explode, so we did not dare to turn it on since then. So the tv went into semi-retirement mode till someone get the electrician to come and fix it.

Meanwhile, I've decided to sign on to mobtv for SGD$10.90 per month to catch the current 9pm show on Channel 8 called 'The Peak'. Heh heh, ok.. I admit I like to watch Dawn Yeoh (think its spelt this way.. not sure) since her debut in 'Shining Stars' (but think she acted better in her debut show!). Anyway, another reason is because its story revolved around a shipyard and it brings back certain memories as well. 'Coz last time I had my industrial attachment with Keppel FELS and although I didn't get a chance to wear that shipyard overalls ('coz only engineering attachees got to wear those last time, and I was with the IT dept). And no I didn't get to cycle around the shipyard too 'coz my work doesn't require me to go so many places but yes, there was one time we manage to get near to the ship and it was a totally awesome experience! Come to think of it, standing anywhere near a mammoth object will evoke certain kind of emotions from any living person, I suppose!

i was one of them

Yesterday, me and my brother wanted to go out for dinner. Our usual hangout is at Yew Tee food court. So me and him took the lift down and headed out. Just then, I looked up at the sky and saw the bright green light. It's luminous green in color (slightly oblong in shape) and doesn't look like any space craft. Its movement was quite abrupt with one moment it appeared at one location, the next second at another and very quickly it disappeared.

So I told my brother but he didn't managed to catch it. For me, I only saw it for about a second or two. So we thought nothing of it. But it seems, more people had seen it.

showflats

Had a gathering recently with my uni friends. Most are married, with kids. So went to Wen Pei's 'new' house at Bendemeer. New 'coz I haven't been there but the rest of the world have... haha!

The last I saw her kid was at his one month party. So now he's like 2 years old. Yeah, time practically zoomed past in supersonic speed! He was a big baby, and now he's a cute 2 year old. Looking at him interacting with others, he's a genial kid. Easy to be around with. And, he's exited about Hi 5 <-- I think it's written this way.. hmm not sure. The adults brought the kids to the pool and they were absolutely exited! Haha, fun.

So while the kids were playing, me and another couple decided to go over to the showflats opposite Wen Pei's place. I loved the showflat! Wahhaha, if I have tons of money, I'd buy it! But alas, for normal people like me who doesn't plant money tree nor print any, I can only see but cannot touch. Nicely done up and decorated, with the kitchen almost fully equiped (comes with induction cooker top!). The tiles are nice, aircond nice but very small. One studio apartment costs about $380,000 and one two-bedroom unit costs $580,000 (and that's after a 10% discount). So roughly about $600 p.s.f. Sigh, with that kind of money, can buy 5 room HDB flat and still have money to renovate. Heh, but not bad la, the agent still entertain us even though we're not really looking to buy.
