Clarifications of Character/s

Clarifications of Character/s.

Was meeting up with Rachel as mention in 2 entries earlier. One of the things she ask is who the hell (in exact words of hers) Spinnee is. She thought that I’m interested in Spinnee. Muahaha.

She got all confuse by these 2 names “Spinnee” & “Spinnee-you-know-who” in the Weird Day entry. I had also mention these 2 names in the next entry after the weird day entry.

Quote from that entry.

Spinnee - 有缘千里来相会, though not in the flesh, but we quite clicked. Remember who we know each other? Through BM's blog. Then your blog, and me being the first to find out something in regards to that.

Spinnee-you-should-know-who - 无缘见面不相识, the girl in DYT whom til now I still don't know her name of. I christened her a name that I shall not mention here, and yes, Spinnee and a few of my close friend know who she is. 有缘千里来相会? She's from Malaysia.

Ok. I need to Clarify. Spinnee is not Spinnee-you-should-know-who. If not, the above sentence will make no sense at all.

Any genius can see from the above that Spinnee & Spinnee-you-should-know-who are two different people. One whom I know quite well but never in the flesh and the other I dont know at all but always see in the flesh. You should know which is which by now.

Heres the reason for using Spinnee-you-should-know-who. First of all, I told Spinnee about her. In order to protect the identity of her because of I dont know her name so I use Spinnee-you-should-know-who (like Harry Potters He-shall-not-be-named). I thought by the time when the有缘千里来相会, 无缘见面不相识 came out, it should be clear enough that they are 2 different people. Yet, there are people like Rachel and Regina asking do I like Spinnee. So the answer, “Errrrr, No.”

So, there you have it. Hope it clear the air, and sorry Spinnee. I really hope to find a more adept naming for Spinnee-you-should-know-who.

Singapore Idol Hopeful - Meryl Joan Lee

Was watching Singapore Idol yesterday, been wanting to do an entry about it.

It’s about a particular contestant by the name of Meryl Joan Lee. Who?
Her.

Pretty or not? Hahaha. She’s only 17 lah, you perverts. Later gena rotan then you know. For more of her infor, read it on the official Singapore Idol.

Anway, I first came to know about when she was featured for a brief moment while taking part in Project Superstars. Then I saw her in person when she took part in another competition where my good friend Pearlie was in. Pearlie came in second while Meryl can’t even see the tail light (in racing terms).

So now, there she is again, in Singapore Idol.

Anyway, I think she’s quite good but not good enough to be the next Singapore Idol.
Then there’s also another thing. Who is she doing it all for? Herself or her mother?
And is Stardom really worth all these effort?

Well, here some things to think over for now? I think she can get into Top 10s by this year standard.

So I stop here for now, Lupin Tan, out.

Weekend of 270506

Saturday 270506

I woke up around 11am. I is very tired from the previous night Alpha course & those accumulated tiredness since the Sawang trip. Had been drowning Kopi-O Ice for the pass few days. No help whatsoever. Was whacking Maple Story until 1pm before I got out for Salsa class. (Trying to Lvl to 50 but didn’t).

As usual, I listen to WKRZ 91.3fm. Sabrina was on air as usual. Actually hor, I kinda miss the techno songs. But generally the selection of songs are still quite ok. As usual I give her a call, but only manage to get her when I reach my class. Well, chatted with her for a while. Usual dedication to the usual group.

Salsa was great; I went for B1 (again), get to know a few more girls friends. Hereby saying Hi to Delisa. Then came B2, having problem with “Suzie-Q” & “Side-Lead-Reverse-Turn (SLRT)”. I was so bad that Cat (the female instructor) apologized after lesson for being “对你凶”.

Was late for Church Service because Salsa class was extended, by the time I reached, they were halfway through worshipping God. Service was quite ok. Enjoyed the message. The place is kinda cold as usual. Enjoyed seeing her play on stage.

Was late for dinner with a friend by the name of Rachel cause of the buses. Too me 1 hour to go from Upper East Coast Rd to Tampines. It’s kinda stupid because the journey if by car is about 15min.

Was about to message her informing her that I’m late when I received a call from her telling me she’ going to be late because of playing Maple Story ( -_-“)

Anyway we meet-up, was searching high low for a place for dinner, everywhere super long queue, We ended up @ Swenson because I feel like eating Chicken Bake rice. Talk quite a lot. She like the female version of me. Hehehe.

The rushed off to meet up the gang of CHC for KTV session. I the first to start the ball rolling. I sang “The Last Waltz”. (You guys must think, what song was that, well, it’s a very old song by Engelbert Humperdinck) followed by 2 songs by Bon Jovi, and I whack practically every songs the rest of the gang. Enjoyed it totally.

Was home about 3am Sunday Morning.

Sunday 280506

Was feeling under the weather the whole day, it just consist of Food, sleep and Maple Story. (Boring Right) Hehehe. Well, whatever.

Finale of the American Idol.

First of all, Congrates to Taylor "Soul Patrol" Hicks for clinching the Season 5 American Idol's title.

My dollars is on him, that's what I told my friend Sharon and my mom (my mom is rooting for Katherine McPhee).

Anyway, I was home early, my brother is watching "The Fast and the Furios" VCD. I told him that I watch to watch the result show. I missed out the the opening, and only got to see the part where Paris started singing.

Anyway, I only going for the juice (or what I think of it).

I going to load lots of American Idol Finale Video links. So get ready.

I don't know about you (those who watch it) but I was almost had a spasm from laughing when I saw Katherine pair up with this guy call Meat Loaf (apparently a rocker) singing I-forgot-what-song. He was totally hilarious to look at. And with a name like Meat Loaf, it very fitting.

Then we have an Clay-Aiken-Wannabe singing with the real McCoy coming out from backstage and pair with him. The wannabe is so excited that he don't know wat to do and sit there and enjoy. OMG, Clay is so not like him when we saw him the previous time, but good job man.

We also have our I-like-to-wear-purple-like-a-gay Prince singing for us. The first song "lolita" ~~I don't know what title (Can someone drop me an comment to tell me)~~ and the second song is call "Satisfied". He dance and sing like MJ to me.

Our, the following is the highlight of yesterday night Finale.

I had totally fallen in love with Kellie Pickler because of this video, she is so cute, definitely looks better with short hair, and absolutely adorable with her antics. Kudos. And with that, I decided to do extra coverage for her. A montage.

So there you have it, the juice of American Idols Finale, This is Lupin Tan, Out.

The Most Expensive Courier. Flesh Imp.

The Most Expensive Courier.

Those who does read my entries will know that every wednesday, I will go down to the subsidory of my company for work. It is also the place where Spinnee-knows-who (Sorry Ah, Spinnee, used ur name again) works. I hope to find a subsituite naming for her soon.

Anyway, normally I will brings mails over from my company to this company. And normally, there will be mails to be brought back to my company the next day. (I took them home lah, no worries, I bet no one in my company read my blogs).

Some of you might jump into the concluded that this Most Expensive Courier refers to me. No it's not. Courier services cost on an average of $10 - $20 per trip. But since I was on my way either way, why not just do the favor.

So anyway, the accounts manager by the name of Ann Ni walk over to my cubicle and ask me to bring back some stuff. I told her the usual that I will be going home first and whether is it sensitive or not. She says it ok.

So when I was about to go home, I approach Ann Ni to ask her what things she want me to bring back. I went to search. The mails are gone. Then we conclude something, Our Group CEO who was in office, took the mail back. Muahahaha.

Yes, The Most Expensive Courier - Our Group Ceo.

Flesh Imp

Me and Xiao Wei had Pepper Lunch again yesterday. Wanted to drop by to say hi to maple but no time.

Anyway, we still got half an hour to spare, so we walk back to PS to shop. She went to buy tissues from Watson, wanted to go Foxy to shop, but we meet up with Serene first. So on the way to Foxy (which is under Ripcurl), we pass by this shop call Flesh Imp, then I saw someone Familiar. I called out to Xiao Wei, "Xiao Wei, Weilian"
Weilian was a ex-member of CHC during the old days. So we went in, talk to Weilian and look at the clothes. I quite the theme of this shop. Quite my style (some of the clothes lah). And I caught my eye on this piece.

I'm checking with my consultant on the suitability.

Shall buy it if approved during the Singapore Sale.

Singapore Dancing Trend.

There is a dancing trend in Singapore.

MVD (Music Video Dance)/Hip Hop, Salsa, Line Dance.
Youth, Working Professional, Retirees.

Let me explain.

I reached CCK on Friday evening around 7pm plus. Was on my way to Lot 1 to get some food for dinner, I bought 吉林小吃’s 炸鸡. Before I reach Lot 1, just outside the main entrance, the area was being square off, for a group of people. They are line-dancers.

Well, I not very amazed or anything cause I seen it before while I was in my previous job over at Toa Payoh HDB Hub.

The thing is, this time round it got me thinking (I is thinker). You see, for the passed month, I had been in this dancing scene, because I had started learning Salsa. I had been to Salsa club and stuff. So it got me thinking. What’s the dancing trend like in Singapore? Hence this entry.

Youth: MVD (Music Video Dance)/Hip Hop

I noticed this trend when I went to Marina Mall a few months back. There was a Dance clinic for this MVD thingy. Some local dancer teaching kiddos how to move to the beats of songs of Jolin Tsai-likes MV.

Then I saw the clothes these kiddos wear, their dance moves and say to myself. “I’m too old for this, and I’m old”. Muahaha. The MVD is mainly being popular for kiddos from primary to secondary schoolers. Mainly Chinese and mainly girls.

Then there is this Hip Hop trending that was around for quite a few years now. You see them breaking and popping and whatever in the transit between CityLink mall and Esplanade. It is the same age group as mentioned above, but mainly Malays and guys.

Working Professional: Salsa

As mentioned above, I part of this trend now, still no idea why I have the sudden interested of learning, but I had learnt anyway. I think this trend had also been around for at least 3 years, needs to check with my teacher. I can see it going big something soon, with more people picking it up.

Age group for this trending is from Pre-U schoolers, Poly and Undergrads, young working to mid management professionals. Female to male ratio of about 6 to 4. They hang out mainly @ Union Square over @ Tanjong Pagar.

Retiree: Line-Dance
This trending had also been around for about a few years now, but lately it progressed to a national level. It’s kinda cool to see these people in full cowboy gear (some lah), dancing in unison and stuff. So far, I seen they do it publicly @ Toa Payoh and CCK. Don’t know where still got? Anyone knows?

Age group for this trending is pre-retirees and retirees. Mainly Chinese, but fairly balanced between the gender ratio.

So there you have it, our local dancing trends. Are you part of it?

22th May. Happy Birthday to You and You

For the pass few weeks, I had been making dedication on WKRZ on every Saturday before my Salsa classes. I will always call around 2 plus while I was on the bus on my way to the dance studio.

The DJ is on during 1 - 5pm every Saturday, a lady by the name of Sabrina, Surname unsure.

Anyway, the past saturday, I couldn't go for Salsa class, missing my Beginner Module 2 Lesson to go to Tanjong Batu, Sawang for Mission Trip. So I decided to call Sabrina earlier than usual. By now, she knows who I am and I updated her that I going to miss the lesson and stuff. Ask her whether is she ok cause she sound husky, recommended her to eat honey (which she say she's had been eating and going to get diabetes). She jotted down my dedication and read it out while I was on the boat, I told her I don't know how far the reception can last. Then another listener (She say on radio that the listener is her regular) wishing her Happy Birthday, which She (Sabrina) say is still a few more days. So, in the boat, I call again la. Then we talk, I also wish her happy B-dae, asking her when it is, She say on Monday, May 22th. I asked her wat Zodiac, She say the split personality one Gemini, I told her I got a few close friends who are Geminis also.
Then I end the called.

The while lying on the boat listening in to the program, I was processing her birthdate, Gemini, mine close friend.

Then it me, I was thinking about a particular close friend by the name of Pearlie when I was talking with sabrina. I know Pearlie birthdate and she's a Gemini. Incidentally, Pearlie is the first girl I ever know well and get close too. Our friendship trace back all the way back to poly days which is about 8 years (I kept forgetting how long).

22th May, Pearlie's birthday is 22th May, Tomorrow, I always totally forget about it until my chat with Sabrina.

Tomorrow, Pearlie is starting her birthday with a new job. Quite a dream job. So to you first Pearl, my dear dear friend. Happy Birthday.

And Sabrina, Happy Birthday.

I end this by saying this. I had been going through lots of weird stuff recently. This is the latest
My First Female friend and my latest female "friend" both share the same birthday, tomorrow, 22th May.

Weird. (like my title)

有缘千里来相会,无缘见面不相识.

This is a follow-up to the previous long winded entry

Please read it first before carrying on.

The whole day, I was having this "无缘见面不相识" feeling towards Spinnee-you-should-know-who. Then As I was concluding the earlier entry mentioning above, I was doing a check on the girls mentioned in it and counter it with this title.

Here Goes. (In accordance of apperance, Machiam (as if) like movie like that)

Spinnee - 有缘千里来相会, though not in the flesh, but we quite clicked. Remember who we know each other? Through BM's blog. Then your blog, and me being the first to find out something in regards to that.

Spinnee-you-should-know-who - 无缘见面不相识, the girl in DYT whom til now I still don't know her name of. I christened her a name that I shall not mention here, and yes, Spinnee and a few of my close friend know who she is. 有缘千里来相会? She's from Malaysia.

Classmate mentioned in Interlude - 有缘千里来相会, cause, I won't meet her if Edna didn't put me areoplane, and stuff, the timing is just nice. 无缘见面不相识, Cause I didn't chat her up.

Xiao Wei - 有缘千里来相会, any girl who I know via church belong to this catergory because of the process of me knowing them. Cause there is alot of factor that made me go CHC. So I see it that way.

My Close Friend that I lost contact - 无缘见面不相识, I totally lost contact with her, and I bet if she sees me again, I doubt she remember me, cause even I don't remember how she look like, (vaguely)

Shop's owner - 有缘千里来相会, Kinda lah, She still remember from last week, the it's concidental that we past by her shop after Pepper Lunch. And at first look she look like my Long lost friend (still lost)

Edna - 有缘千里来相会? Hmmmm, Her, I don't really know. How to explain? Just really don't know. I strongly don't think so.

Anyway, I might be meeting someone esle tomorrow, she say she will confirm with me only tomorrow, Just hope she don't put aeroplane like last week.

PS: I write all these not to say I very socialable with girls or not to tell certain someone something. I just feel like writing.

Weird Day (160506)

2057hrs, Bus 190 on way home (Penning)

I forgot who did I told, but I think is Spinnee that I felt that today I'm having a weird day. I woke up an hour later than usual (normally I woke up @ 0530hrs) because today is Wednesday, and Wednesday is always Dou Yee Tech Day (The name of the subsidiary to my company). Despite that, I woke up half an hour earlier than normal Wednesday (normally, DYT Wednesday, I woke up @ 0700hrs) because I had woke to clear in DYT.

The first trace of feeling came when I locked my house door. I always had this intuition (6th sense) thingy don't know since when. So today, it's one of those days. Things went on well until when I was about to reach DYT. While alighting from the top deck of Bus 25, I missed a few steps of stairs and sprained my left leg. (Ouch). When I had arrived office, while on my way to the gents, I almost trip and fall.

So, that’s the beginning of my day. Actually, I scheduled 2 main tasks in the morning. One of which is to fix up a switch and connect back all the ports to this switch (You can skip this part if you find it too techy, but too late, Muahaha). The second is to fix up a printer to one of the PC @ level 4, production floor.

Let’s talk about the first task. I found out that the crossed cable that I left there had gone missing for no apparent reason. After fixing the switch to where it should be, and after searching hi-low for the bloody cable (that is less than palm size long), I declared the task pending. My plan is to create the cable back in main office tomorrow and finish up the task tomorrow afternoon.

Task 2: I went up to production floor, took up the printer and want to proceed to fix it. Realize that there are not enough power points. Search Hi-low again for a multi-plug. Can't find, I reflect to the user that I can’t help her until I found or buy a multi-plug, should be pending til afternoon when I got it. She say I purposefully do that in order to go up more often (Spinnee should agree with her knowing that you-know-who is upstairs). (To spinnee: Nah, like I say, I see her so many times today, but, maybe today’s not the day).
So I manage to get a power point for (Interlude, Time: 2115, Sorry ah, need to add something. Me, now inside the bus 190, along Stevens Road. A girl just boards the bus @ the bus stop just before the American club. She saw the bus, pinch her ciggi @ the bin, and walk towards the bus. She’s wearing green spag top, normal stripes pants, quite good figure. She's holding an N series Nokia silver phone with a fluffy thingy dangling. She almost can’t get on the bus, and there is a bus 190 behind the bus I’m on, (which pass us and ended in front now as I typed. Ok, you might ask, WTH am I writing so much about a girl, there are plenty of these kinda girls you get to see everyday. Well, She was an old classmate of mine back in the secondary school days, I forgot what’s her name, and I bet my sorry ass that She don’t remember me. I think her name is Cai Ling or something. Just another prove that today is a weird day. Anyway, back to my story) the printer, then I realizes something. There is no bloody USB cable to link the printer to the computer. (Really feel like banging my head, I was very *Gao-wait*(frustrated) and voice out again to the user. Apologizing and promising I complete the task by afternoon. Everyone is looking at (there are a few girls in that room and yes Spinnee, that girl included), Super malu. So throughout the whole day, I always almost trip and fall for no reason.

Then lunch came, I went for lunch with the usual aunties (yes, you didn't read wrong, aunties click, I am the only guy and they jokingly say I'm their escort). Anyway, the nosiest of the lot (Her name is Lyon, to spinnee, the one who want to match-made me to her sister, Muahaha) is on MC, so quite quiet than usual. After lunching, I excused myself from the aunties and proceed to Kovan to buy the USB cable. I only manage to reach the office around 134x hrs, and proceed up directly to the production office to clear my task. I finally got it up. Teach the user (yet another auntie) on how to use the printer. Catch a few more glance on spinnee-you-know-who (who the auntie realizing me eyeing the girl though not asking), I quickly divert my attention elsewhere and end the task promptly to prevent the auntie from question me unnecessary.

Ok, so apart from a few ad-hoc request from the user, there nothing much. I can do bits of my personal stuff. After I finish with Task 2, I went around with the Account Manager to 巡俯, which I later change to 州游裂国 (don't know correct or not) (Interlude: 2138hrs, the girl I mentioned in the previous interlude was standing behind me just now, I was editing the phone she’s holding, I quickly scrolled down so that she can't see that part that I'm writing. Hehehe). We went around to check on the PCs that are to condemn and scrap.

The around 4 plus, Spinnee-you-know-who was in her normal clothes (They wear uniform lah) and left, she was @ level 2 where my desk is for a whole 10 minutes. Talking to people and stuff. Don’t know will she be @ work tomorrow or not, think of asking the auntie @ level 4 but scared she grills me and stuff. Muahaha.

So, by 1730hrs, and a few minute outs, I part my things and go. I'm meeting Xiao Wei for dinner. Received a sms from her asking me whether am I meeting her or not, which I replied yes, I’m my way. I reached PS MacDonald's around 1820. Took up my comp and wanted to surf net. Can't get IP addy, Can't get IP addy ? Can't get IP addy !!!! Stupid SkynetGlobal seems faulty or they cut services already.

Xiao Wei ordered Team A meal, and I ordered Team B meal, no idea what it is, go check up yourself in Mac. (Time out: Alight Bus @ CCK).

Time: 2155hrs, Bus 300, on way home.
(Sidetrack: While q-ing for the bus, saw a blind lady truing to find her way to the bus. She's taking the same bus, a lot of people ignore her, I told myself to help her if no one help her before me, but someone did. So yes, there are still compassionate people out there, though few) (Sidetrack: I can roughly confirm that the girl I saw in my Interlude is my classmate during my secondary days. I got a feeling that some of you might ask me, why don’t you approach her and ask her to confirm. My answer, for wat, some things are best left unanswered. And how am I to approach her? Asking “对不起小姐, 你很面善, 你很象是我的中学同学.” (Yes, it sounds like the commercial, you should know the following sentence) But anyway, just forget it; she's not even my type, Muahaha)

Where were we, Ah, Team A and Team B. We each ordered a World Cup set meal @ Mac. Now everything also World Cup that is less than a month away. Xiao Wei told me she watch Soccer during the 90’s Fandi Ahmad, Sundram Murthy, Malek Awab, Abbas Said, Lim Thong Hai, Steven Tan (Which I told her my little brother adopt that name because of that player).

Then we proceed to Dhoby Exchange, Xiao Wei want to check up the Billabong Cap she saw last week while we are having our dinner @ Pepper Lunch. Before that, we talk about the girl that work at that shop that she saw the cap. Cause last week, I thought that the girl look like a very close (but lose contact) friend (by the name of Rosalind) of mine. So last week after dropping Xiao Wei @ YMCA where she’s having her bible study (Xiao Wei was my Cell group member when I was @ CHC, now I had change church), I told Xiao Wei, I going back to that shop to “confirm” whether is she (the shop’s person) is my friend or not. (Please bear with me; this is part of the story) So I went back, used the cap that Xiao Wei is eyeing as an excuse, to chat her up, 2 sentence is all I need to confirm that she's not the one. But @ Mac, Xiao Wei ask me about this girl when I sms Xiao Wei last week directly after I confirm that she (the shop's person) is not the one. Then Xiao Wei grills me on why I am so ganjiong(anxious) which I explained that the girl is a close friend. Xiao Wei proceeds to ask a totally irrelevant question. She asked me whether do I have the cell group contact (CHC's member) with me, she want to check a member Birthdate. I had it in my wallet, took it out and tell her the date, then I realized something, Xiao Wei’s birthday and my close friend's (whom I lost contact) birthday is one freaking day apart. Namely 310780 and 010880(I used to call Rosalind 八月老大)
So another weird thing happens again. So we reach that shop, another girl was there, Xiao Wei is checking the cap again. Then this girl (whom I was checking out last week, came) and the first thing she said when she saw me is (“Hello, 是你啊?”) (Time out: alighting Bus 300)

(Time: 2230hrs, Preparing to sleep) So, she remembered me, Muahaha. Anyway, Xiao Wei bought the cap, I chat with girl up, and her name is Maple. (Second Maple I know so far, Forgot to ask her got play Maple Story or not, Muahaha Check with her the business there. Quite Poor, Maybe I help her, hehehe. Before I left I teased her, “Please don’t tell me we are your first customer” (Because the business is cold) I know, I know, I’m bad, but it’s a joke. Xiao Wei scolded me. But I think that question left a stronger impression. Wahahaha. I is siao (crazy)(imitating BM’s style)

While walking towards YMCA, Xiao Wei say, I might give that girl an impression that I am chatting her up, interested and stuff which I replied I only talk about 2 sentences with her to find out is she my friend. But anyway, after dropping Xiao Wei, I proceed to Tanjong Pagar, Union Square, was supposed to meet Edna. (Sidetrack: Edna ask me whether I going down to Union Square anot this morning when I saw her in MSN. I told her that I will go down if she’s going, she ask me to check what time Gary is going down, I checked, inform her and remind her to call me if she going. So the last message I got from her prior to meeting Xiao Wei @ Mac is she’s coming down, hence the trip down)

I reach Union Square around 2015, found a nice corner, took out my lappy and wanted to start blogging about today (being a weird day). Said hi to one of the bartender, whom I think remember me, tell another that I waiting for a friend when I was being approached. Felt abit paiseh (embarrassed) cause I taking the entire sofa area and when a bunch of expats came in (which included 2 angmoh chiobus (pretty Caucasians)) . Then an sms from Edna came and say she’s not coming, which I replied that I had reached the place, and I went with an injured leg. So I left Union square, walk towards Outram Park area to take Bus 190. Passed by Duxton Rd, then got those “Girls” calling, “Honey, Honey, Come, Come” I hurried off. Halway through, Edna called. Saying she’s coming down, and she’s feeling paiseh. To Edna, no need to, You are not the first and won’t be the last. I’m used to it. Anyway, It’s un-gentlemen of me to ask a girl to come out when she don’t , want to, so not Lupin (For those who know my name origins), we can meet again.

Edited (170506, 1204am) Forgot to add, I was almost knocked down by a female driver before I reach the bus-stop, I jay-walk while the walking man is still red. But there ain't cars around. The got one black nissan march which I felt that She's (yes, a bloody female driver (in general)) going to pass, so I wanted to cross, then she stop, hesitated (cause light turning amber), I walked behind her car and she almost knocked me down when she wanted to reverse the car before the stop line. Pretty driver, but I really don't like her driving skill. Please, spare us.

Reached Outram Park and board the bus. (Rest of story, read from top again).

Aglio Olio & Pepper Lunch.

I normally don't really have the habit of introducing eateries. But These to place is damn good. (Or at least my personal view).

1. Aglio Olio

On the past monday, I went to Raffles OUB Plaza's Jetzen to have a haircut. As usual I chatted with my stylist and stuff. As I had not consume any food prior to the appointment (me rush down to directly from work). So I decided to go to Aglio Olio for food. Aglio Olio is a pasta place where my Army friend "母熊" (in Hokkien) work as chef. I went there a few time during lunch in my last job (I ran out alot). Bought a few friends there. So since job change, I had not been there, and since I'm around the area, I decided to makan there. So I walk in. Had myself sitted and asked. "Is Low Chun Xiong around?" "Yes, He's inside the kitchen" answered the waiter. "Can you inform him Ma Bow Tan (my Army nickname) is here", the waiter, felt amazed and proceed on. I ordered my food, the usual Beef cream based pasta.

The Pasta Place

Lets look at the menu

Lets look inside the menu for the food.

Reasonable price rite?

Top 100 Signature Dish of Singapore by "Eat Me" Magazine

OK, I think I got you salivating, how to get there? Don't worry, here's the addy

2. Pepper Lunch

On Wednesday, I received 2 sms from a friend. The first read

"I think I can meet u for dinner today. Meet mac 645pm." Which I replied with a simple "OK"

Shortly after, I recieved another sms from her, which read "Or shall we go to e eatin place at e new extension of e control station (Dhoby Ghaut). Thinks there is only one, u know where insede e control station, just follow e smell" I was reading this sms while working, and my colleuges ask me, "you dog ah, follow the smell", We laughed.

I had totally no idea what she's writing in her second SMS. After 2 - 3 min thinking and processing , I realised she referring to the Dhouby Exchange, directly above the MRT station where the Isetan In-Kids used to be. (I had fond childhood memories there). Sooooo, after work, I went down to meet her.

Dhouby Exchange is very quiet, alot of shops are still left unopened. There are pockets of shops here and there, and the place that we had dinner (namely me, cause she just ordered a salad, and a drink). It's called Pepper Lunch, this being the third store in Singapore, the first and second are at Orchard Rd.

I ordered the original.

The pic is actually after I had rojak the dish, for how it look like before, go to the website. It tested quite nice, though fairly expensive.

Okkkkk, I think that's about it I had for all my makan~~sutra~~.

I will intro more next time.

Ciao
Lupin.

What do you put in your car?

I was on my way to work when I came across this car with a pair of hand on the dashboard. So I take up my K750i and snapped a pic.

I remember about 2 jobs ago, I used to put 大柄 on the dashboard, and BM is famous for having monkeys on hers.

What do you have on your dashboard?

Post-Mortem of Election 2006

Peace Finally, after this 2 week of ~~wayanging~~, I mean aggressive campaigning from all parties.

Even before the Nomination Day, you can get to see that everything is starting to boil.

This year ~~wayanging~~, I mean campaigning is circling around two main issues as I see it. It's not about lift upgrading and not about health care. It's about Chee Soon Juan and James Gomez.

This year Election is circling around three buzzwords : Defamation, Imcumbent, Mandate.

It's no surprise that PAP had won this year election. It just how the whole thing progressed.

Right from the start of this whole episode, SDP had been slapped with Defamatory Charge from PAP's PM Lee & SM Lee. They are required to print apologies ad on the papers and pay off charges made against them. One by one SDP's member break rank to apologise, totally destroyed they campaigning strategy and attention because of this and they had suffered their worst defeat ever.

WP, though having a strong line-up of candidates this year, also have some problems of their own. James Gomez caused an uproar in the PAP camp because of his filing of the minority certificate incident. Personally, I feel that this episode had cause PAP some of their vote in the camp of Aljunied.

Another interesting point that I had notice is the campaigning of the SMC of Potong Pasir and Hougang. PAP had been aggressive in their "attacks". Their even route in SM Goh's help. With Upgrading project worth S$80 million and $100 million respectively. But as the result shows, they "carrot" don't move the "donkey" at all.

But overall, the status quo remains as 2001. PAP still have the strong mandate they want, though opposition, especially WP seems stronger this time.

See you guys 5 years later. For another game of "Risk"

一种米养百种人.

I want to declare my love to the Internet.
From it I learn alot about People.

一种米养百种人.

There are people who think they know everything, they are people who are not happy with other people yet they keep themselves busy around people they don't like, they are people who just sit there and watch show, they are some who attack abit and run off. They are those who talk alot but knows nothing, there are those who talk little but refuse to share.

Yah, I do learn quite alot.

Thank you Internet. Thank you.
