The source

The other day, while I was driving around, I saw something familiar (to some folks, it looks like a talisman). It’s an ERP gantry. I think that’s where they build it!! I’m not suggesting anything:)

*Paging INFIDELS*

But seriously, I think road hoggers are the source. Man, if you drive so freaking slow, keep to the other lanes. The right lane is an OVERTAKING lane. OVERTAKING, you understand? Snails crawl in gardens, they don’t DRIVE on the roads. Good thing Singapore didn’t legalize firearms. Even if they did, they probably will tell you,

Don’t drive and shoot. Be a man, do the right thing.

So much for a Friday. Woohoo… my prints look good!:D

Hotpot! Hotpork!:D

Another food recommendation. I met Chris and Pris again for one of our many foodie outings. This time we decided not to leave an arm or leg at the restaurant (unlike the last time round…:P), we headed for Paradiz center for some steamboat at Hey Hey Hotpot.

Heard it’s opened by one of the local celebrity. That aside, the food I say, it’s pretty good. I’m not usually into steamboat because I have the impression that the ingredients are always the same. But this place proved me wrong. The soup base is surprisingly delicious, unlike the usual MSG soup we get at other steamboat buffets. The must have in the menu will be the fried fish skin. Just a warning, it’s bloody addictive.

The yesterday, I joined my ex-colleagues at Brotzeit at Vivocity for some german cuisine. What better way to have dinner, since most of us have at some time in our career travelled to Germany for work before. We weren’t really adventurous, so we stuck to the tradition, pork knuckles, sausages and good ol’ beer. What can I say? It’s as close as you can get to the real thing. For beer, I tried the Roggen… woooo… that thing is goooooooood:D

So, two places recommended this week, Hey Hey Hotpot and Brotzeit at Vivocity. Tune in to our next issue… if I don’t make it to Manado that is:P

Next time I’ll provide pictures… I try to promise:P

Euro thoughts

Heh, can’t imagine putting my thoughts on the Euro 2008 on this blog. Let me start by saying I was extremely happy when England didn’t make it:D Alright, throw rotten tomatoes at me… I don’t care, I just don’t like them:P

My usual support goes to Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic and Italy (oh… those cute boys:P LOL!!!). Expected Portugal to do well, so no surprises, they are into the QF. Although I was hoping that they’ll draw with Czech Rep rather than beat them 3-1. My heart broke when Czech crashed out after losing to Turkey in the final 3 minutes of the game. It’s one of the teams that I really like. Pavel Nedved (retired) was my hero man, he was like the OEM version of Zidane. Unfortunately, they can’t hold their nerves till the final minute.

Spain’s doing great as well. Italy is one of my favorite teams as well. And I hate don’t fancy the French (the football team). They appear stuck up to me and they have to beat all my favourite teams in the last 2 championships, Portugal (last minute penalty… remember?). While I wasn’t cheering when Zidane got sent off during the last World Cup final, I was pretty happy that Italy won:D That was SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! And what could turn out better last night? They did it again!!:D

I haven’t been watching all the matches, but of all my four fave teams, I really like how Italy and Czech played. Maybe they didn’t produce the best results, but I really love their style:) I don’t care if they don’t win, just stay long enough so I’ll get to watch them play.

oh oh… one more thing. Chris and Pris just told me that gays don’t play football!! Heng ah…BBLG:P woohoo!!:P

When I wake up…

I first heard this song over the radio when I was still in school. And this was one of the first CDs I bought. Totally love it. Recently, while covering a wedding, the band started playing all the Brit pop which I was so familiar with (yes, I used to buy every single issue of Smash Hits magazine). They even played “Common people” by Pulp!! Now I’m going to find out where they are playing.

Speaking of bands, I’ll be doing another wedding at Grand Shanghai this weekend. I’m sure I’m going to know 90% of the songs they are going to sing. I’m such an oldie… goodness. Now I’m going to find out where I can get all these old tunes.

I’m gonna be – The Proclaimers

When I wake up, well I know i’m gonna be,
I’m gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, Yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When I’m working, yes I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s working hard for you
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I’ll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home(When I come home), well I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow-old,(When I grow-old) well I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s growing old with you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
