Gone the bad year 2011 and come the new year 2012, i wish all my family and friends all the best of luck in whatever they do and whatever they wish for in 2012 will come true. To all my followers on blogger and twitter, a very prosperous and better year in 2012. This will be my last post for the year 2011 and i will be back to post more in year 2012.

A few countdown parties that you might to take note of and head down to any of the places to have a great night out. One of the biggest countdown party will be at the Marine bay where there will be live broadcast of great music and firework display during midnight. You can also head down to Sentosa Siloso Beach Party with a groovy line up of DJs, non-stop music, pyrotechnics display and fringe entertainment.

Alternative, you can also head down to town where Radio deejays usher in 2012 with revellers at the Radio's Rockin Countdown event at Ngee Ann City's Civic Plaza. My favorite radio station 91.3fm is hosting the countdown party at Clarke Quay Central Fountain Square where they are counting down the hottest 100 hits of year 2011. I will be at Yishun in front of Khatib Mrt station counting down with my family and residents of Yishun with the MPs.

In another few hours time it will be 2012, i wish good luck will befall on me for job hunting and by Chinese New Year 23th January a new job is waiting for me. I will keep this post short & simple, see everyone next year. May 2012 hit everyone with a big bang. Cheers and enjoy the long weekend!!!

Sorry for not updating my blog for the past coming 2 weeks. Had been feeling rather depress lately and straggling to make the decision having to come to terms that it's time to start hunting for a new job. Having to resign wasn't a easy decision to make. It took me a long time to pluck up to courage to hand in the resignation letter and till now i still wonder did i do the right move or i should have just give it more time and wait?

The tough move came just 2 days before Christmas, almost broke down after tendering but a voice in me head keep telling me that i have to pull myself up soon as the hunting season is on it's way. Luck isn't something that i don't have it with me all the time thus job hunting for me is something quite hard at times but that will not keep me from sending out more resumes.

Thinking back, did i make the wrong move to join this company in the first place? It's been a few days since i tender and my bosses hasn't say or comment any about it. The worst part is, they didn't even bother to ask to see me and to advise me on whom I should hand over my duties to or who will be temporary taking over me when I'm gone.

Friends says maybe they have been waiting for me to resign myself all this while etc making me to think if it's the case or not. Am i really that unwelcome or unwanted in the company?? Why in the first place hire me then?? During my 5 months stay, i have been doing crapy task and non HR related work which is totally different from what i was told about my job scope during the interview and what i was promise on the very first day of work.

Oh well, since i have already decided to move on i shall not dwell further about the unhappy stuff. Belated Merry Christmas and boxing day!!! A music video on how i'm feeling the past 2 weeks or so. Cheers and enjoy!!!

Ok it's 10 days more to Christmas and i have really yet to get all presents ready... argh god someone please come save me!! I can't decide what to buy for my mum, my aunt and HIM. All i gotten was a makeup palette for my cousin and a eyeshadow palette for myself (LMFAO). I really hate shopping for presents!!! I'm still short of presents.... WTF!!!

Mood hasn't been good lately, depression kinda sitting in and swallow me up entirely slowly. It's mid week but i'm still feeling the blues. This Christmas feels so cold and different, i don't know what's wrong thou. Have been having cramps for the past few days, maybe that's the reason for my lousy mood?? Any great tips or ideas how to chase those blues away?? Hopefully, my mood would change for the better before Christmas comes next weekend.


Was surfing for ideas as usual, hopping from one blogshop to another and toggle in between eBay and G market. Besides having a write up on Christmas ideas For Him by Urban and Diva, they too have a write up on Christmas ideas For Her too. Just like the ideas they suggested and recommends For Him, it's kinda over price for people like me with a budget to spend for a getting a normal Christmas present thou but still do feel like free to check them out http://www.divaasia.com/article/6489

I always think it's more easy to get presents for the ladies since there are items down from dresses, accessories, makeups to even spa treatments and lots more choices as compared to guys. But because there are so many choices it makes me so hard to decide what to get instead. With the instant growth and raising of deals websites like deals.com.sg, Plus! BigDeal, groupon and lots more gives people like me more choices to choose from.


Guys, what kind of budget do you usual set for getting HER the best or ideal present?? Or How much would you spend on getting her a present?? How do you chose the right gift for her every time for every occasion?? Have you ever gotten her presents that she don't or hard use at all?? How would you know what you got her is what she wants for present?? What ideas do you have to recommend??

I guess most guys will reply things like Blings, LV bags, Gucci Shoes, Prada wallets etc LOL. I know that what i would love to received as presents from HIM... LMFAO!! Anyway back to shopping online for me, cutting short on this post leaving you all a music video as usual at the end of all my posts. Cheers and enjoy!!! Keep up the festive season mood thou i'm not really feeling it that much this year. I Love Michael Buble!!!

It's 12 days more to Christmas and i have really not yet shop for any presents yet. OMG!!! Have been brain racking what the hell should i buy for that special "HIM" yet. Oh what the hell!! Was chatting on MSN the other day with my dearest aunt Nancy, guess what she share with me what she got for my uncle for Christmas.... A Korean Frying Pan!!! LMFAO what an wonderful present.

I was trying to recall what have i bought for him so far in the past till date as so that i wouldn't be getting him repeated gifts and what other things i could get him for present this year but i just can't think of anything... arghhhh!!! Was browsing and surfing around online again as usual for ideas, i found some interesting ideas from Urban and Diva. Internet is human best creation of all time in history and science.

Sometimes i hate doing shopping for presents for family and friends, firstly i hate to repeat gifts that they might think i don't care about them. Secondly i hate to get presents that they might not like or use and in the end it will probably end up in one corner of the unwanted box etc. Thirdly, maybe others have already gotten him or her the same thing i got for them then they might feel I'm just like the others.


Urban's article reads - Urban 100 gift ideas, where they recommends gift down from as little as $19 for a bowties from Depression at Far East Plaza to a pair of dice deco sterling silver cufflinks from Cartier’s festive Les Musts collection for $710 at Takashimaya Shopping Centre or a Mahatama Gandi Memorial Limited Edition Pen for $4,900 (Rollerball Pen) and $5,090 (Fountain Pen) from Montblanc at Takashimaya Shopping Centre.

I do like some of the items that Urban and Diva recommends but it's kinda atas thou, not really my kind of budget nor gifts that i would wanna get him for Christmas. Nevertheless, you can still check them out at http://www.divaasia.com/article/6486 or check out the Urban copy from Straits Times. And check out http://www.divaasia.com/article/6556 for Diva's choice pick of unique Timberland timepieces, limited edition fragrances to Dermalogica skincare product gift sets for men.


Ladies, what kind of budget do you usual set for getting him the best or ideal present?? Or How much would you spend on getting him a present?? How do you chose the right gift for him every time for every occasion?? Have you ever gotten him presents that he don't or hard use at all?? How would you know what you got him is what he wants for present?? What ideas do you have to recommend??

Ok back to surfing around on the net for better and less expensive presents ideas for HIM. To end off as usual, i leave you a nice music video to keep the festive mood going as for now till CNY comes next month. Cheers and enjoy!!!

Actually everyday after work, i try not to be on my laptop when I'm back home as i have been doing so at work for more than 8 hours but as there isn't much stuff i can do at home after night fall besides surfing the net, playing games etc so here i am blogging and looking online for nice Christmas buffets venues. Christmas, the time of the year again to give, share and FEAST... LOL!!

I love BUFFET very much!! A nice buffet spread to me, it must have fresh yummy oysters, salmon/sashimis, lobsters, cold crabs, fresh prawns, cheese palettes, ice creams and lots more. Buffet without either one those items doesn't feel like a buffet at all. As it is Christmas, i look forward to have nice roasted turkey, roast beef, German pork knuckle, honey glazed hams, log cakes etc added on top of the usual buffet spread menu.


Was browsing the net, yahoo/googleing around for nice Christmas promotions and i found a write up on XINMSN sharing - Where to find the best Christmas buffets this festive season?? http://lifestyle.xin.msn.com/en/christmas/lifestyleasia-article.aspx?cp-documentid=5623752&page=0 . The article listed some of hotels where they are offering a wide scrumptious Christmas buffets menus down from Mosaic @ Carlton Hotel to The Dining Room @ Sheraton Towers Hotel. Do check out the link for more details.

What do you look forward to a nice and worthy Christmas buffet spread this year?? How much would you pay for a good buffet on normal days or during festive season like Christmas?? What is one most item you must have when having buffet?? Which and where is the best buffet so far you have tried before that you would recommend?? And which and where is the worst buffet that you would never go back again for a second try??


Ok back to search for more places that offers Christmas buffet before i decides on where to have my Christmas buffet at this year. Do share with me if you happen to try out one of the places XINMSN recommends on their article and how was the dining, spread etc?? Is worthy for the spread and prices?? As always, i'm leaving you with a nice music video to keep the festive mood going. Enjoy and cheers!!! I Love Destiny's Child!!!

Ok this blog post is especially for the ladies during this holiday season. In about 2 weeks time it would be the season of giving - Christmas and i have yet to do any Christmas shopping for presents. That's not all, I'm invited to a wedding dinner on Christmas eve how fantastic could it be (there goes a nice Christmas eve countdown and partying). Oh well what the hack, it's still a nice and joyous occasion to be part of a grand affair.

Was browsing through the net for nice, good and easy tips on what to wear, makeup ideas and hair dos for this Christmas earlier on. Didn't find much stuff on the net thou but i still manage to get some ideas on eye makeup and hair dos. Bought 6 months supply of blue colored contacts so this Christmas, blue it should be for me just like the color theme for orchard road's decorations. Time to get some blue colored eye shadows and liners too.

Came across something interesting from Liese on some great hair dos tips. Maybe i might try one of the styling looks from their Christmas Lookbook for the Wedding dinner on Christmas eve. Liese have a wide range of hair products dedicated for the ladies to chose from hair colors dye, hair leave on treatments to hair styling aids products. Check out their website for their full range of products that suits your needs http://www.kao.com/sg/liese/ .


I like their slogan which reads and says - Make a SPECIAL change for a special day! It kinda adds a special touch during this festive season keeping the holiday mood going, i'm not about you but it sure does for me. I uses Liese bubble hair color before i find it very simple and user friendly. Their latest product that i would like try out is the Juicy Shower which gives hair a quick boost of moisture keeping the hair frizz free all day long as what they claims.

If you ladies are like me still don't have a clue yet and wondering what to wear this festive season, do head down to Watsons stores island wide (selected outlets only) today and pick up a copy of Liese's handy handbag-size Lookbook for some inspiration tips. But do hurry as limited quantities are available only and get yours today... LOL. Meanwhile you can also check out their Facebook page on other tips, looks and products as well https://www.facebook.com/LieseSG?sk=wall .


Alright time to head for lala land... A music video to keep the festive mood going... Cheers and enjoy!!!

Besides having cravings for steamy hot steamboat for dinner lately, i have been also having cravings for ice creams for after meals desert. Whenever i travel overseas be it during on a hot summer season or on a cold winter season, there is this 1 thing that i must do and that is have to have a nice ice cream cone or ice cream on waffle even when I'm on top of the cold mountain with snow floating down from the sky that's how crazy i am.

I feel that good tasty ice creams and waffles shops are hard to come by these days. Usually on normal days, i would settle for a tube of mango & passion fruit, raspberry sorbet or mango sorbet from Hagen-Dazs when I'm at the petrol station or supermarket. But nowadays there are more and more ice cream joints around Singapore opening up and operates till 11pm-12mid on weekdays or 1-2am on weekends to ease everyone's craving.


Few weeks back i was at Scoopz at upper Thomson road with a group of friends after dinner. Scoopz have a pretty good variety of hand-made ice cream and drinks menu. They are open Sun-Thurs 12pm-12am and Fri, Sat & PH 12pm-2am. I love the durian, green tea and mango sorbet flavors from them. This outlet at Upper Thomson Road was a new concept cafe as compared to there main outlet just a ice cream stand at Parkway Parade shopping center where you can sit and chill out with your friends instead of walking around eating it. You can also check out their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/scoopzicecream?sk=wall

Besides Scoopz, there a also a few ice cream joints around Upper Thomson area thou i have yet to try them but maybe you can try them out and share with me the review of their ice creams. Icekimo http://www.icekimo.com/index.asp is situated at Sin Ming Center just somewhere behind Scoopz. Icekimo too promotes hand-made ice creams, cakes and a nice drinks menu. Icekimo like Scoopz is nice a place to chill & relax by reading the magazines or having some fun with the board games and also free Wifi services for their customer provided in the parlour. Their opening hours is Sun-Thurs 11.30am-11pm and Fri, Sat & PH 11.30am-1am.


There are 2 newly opened ice cream joints at upper Thomson area, one of them is Salted Caramel http://www.saltedcaramel.sg/, not much information on the new joint yet thou. Their newly setup website is still under much wraps i guess but they are open daily from Sun-Thurs 12pm-11pm and Fri, Sat & PH 12pm-2am. And the other new joint is Wafflelicious http://wafflelicioussg.blogspot.com, the ice creams and food looks good on their Facebook page and blog. Their operation hours are Sun-Thurs 12pm-11pm and Fri, Sat & PH 12pm-1am. Well guess i have to make a trip down and try them out myself soon.

So far these are the few ice cream joints that are available around Upper Thomson area nearest to where i live, that craters to late night weekend food lovers like me. Do you have any other places to recommend around Upper Thomson or AMK or Sembawang Road beside those i have mention?? Have you tried the joints i have recommended before?? What do you look for or how you chose the right ice cream & waffle joint worth for money and have good spread of ice cream selection??

Well, i look forward for feedback and reviews... Christmas sprite in the air... so as usual at the end a nice video to share with you... Cheers and enjoy!!!

Weather had been bad for the past few months in Singapore and in certain parts of the world too. Constant rain fall have cause floods in many countries like Thailand and flash flood is one of the headaches for the Singapore's government. I love rainy days but too much of rain can be a problem and hater for many especially for outdoor activities like marathons, photo shoots, weddings etc and some businesses as well.

Not sure is it because of the cold weather, i have been craving for my all time favorite - steamboat for the past few months now. I love sitting around the big pot of soup with a wonderful mixture of food in it. My longest record for eating steamboat is more than 4 hours, don't ask me how i did it but i just did. And during one of the Chinese New Year gathering at 1 of my friend's place, we had steamboat for dinner too. Guess what, i joined them for dinner from the start and i stayed all the way till the end with 2 groups of different people one after another.

I remember when i was young, my parents used to bring me to Marina South where there are many 2N1 steamboat & bbq stores. Back in those days, the place is super famous for it which draws huge crowd every weekends and sometimes weekdays too but it have been closed down since government announce plans to build a barrage and a new botanical garden there. It's one of my favourite place for 2N1 steamboat & bbq with my friends during school days, kinda sad that it's gone now.


There's quite a number of steamboat & bbq stores at Liang Seah Street which is pretty famous for it. One of them which i recommend is 鲜得来, where they have nice & wide selection of soup bases especially their 辣糙排骷/辣糙鸡块 and the food comes in small portion on plates served to you by the staff so all i have to do is sit down and eat but kind of expensive about $25-$30 per pax including of ordering drinks.

And the other joint at Liang Seah Street that i like is 辣妹子, they have my favorite soup base 川菜 and it's self service so alittle walking to and fro is required for food & drinks. I prefer going to 辣妹子 other outlet at Thomson road - Novena Ville http://www.lameizi.com.sg/index.html as compared to their outlet at Liang Seah Street. Price wise per pax for Liang Seah outlet is $18 nett with free flow of drinks as for Thomson outlet $16 nett for weekday and $18 nett for weekend but drinks are not included.

There are 2 other steamboat & bbq joints that i like to dining at too. One of it is Chong Pang BBQ buffet steamboat newly located at Balestier Road http://www.chongpangbbq.com/index.php, they too have a wide selection of food to choose from, a large indoor seating and a 150 parking lots available behind the food court there. Per pax is $19.80 nett. The best part is Chong Pang BBQ is halal where they have a strict NO PORK NO LARD policy so Muslims are very much welcome.

And lastly, it's the Sakura Charcoal Grill & Shabu Shabu http://www.sukigroup.com.sg/suki/shabu.htm at Marina Country Club - Punggol. Although the place is out of the where to many but it didn't stop people flocking to it just to dine there. To ease the traveling issue, the country club crater free bus service from Seng kang Mrt station to and fro. The spread at Sakura is huge as compared to many. It's pricing is not cheap though, per adult $24+ and kids $11.90+ including drinks.

So far, these are the few steamboat joints which i have tried and find it worth trying. Are you feeling the same and having the same craving as me during cold and rainy weather?? Do you have any other places to recommend?? Have you tried the joints i have recommended before?? What do you look for or how you chose the right steamboat joint worth for money and have good spread of food selection??

Ok time to dream of food now... a nice music video to share as usual... cheers and enjoy!!!
