So Much Food!

December 29th, 2008

Food hasn’t been so bad the past few days. I’m still in Singapore, by the way.

I’ve actually been OVEReating. The belly is not going away. It’s so bad that when I hunch, there’s a triple fold on my overfed belly.

Shit!!!!! Got a wedding on Saturday to attend and I absolutely can NOT have a fucking awful overfed belly ARGH. The clothes I have now just WON’T FIT!

panic panic panic panic panic panic. okay don’t panic. just eat in moderation!

Oh yeah pictures of food, every important. Since I’m a blogger and I have duties to uphold, HERE:

P1000545
This is a geoduck. In pieces. A geoduck is some seashell creature where the flesh looks like a giant dick. Just thought you’d like to know. Oh, it tastes very… fishy. No surprises there eh? Heh.

P1000609
Tanjong Katong Laksa. This is supposedly famous one. They serve this in a bowl, with a spoon. WithOUT chopsticks. It’s how Tanjong Katong laksa is served EVERYWHERE in Singapore. Kinda odd for me because I’m used to holding a pair of chopsticks when there’s noodles to be eaten but hey that’s just me. It’s just like asam laksa noodles in diluted curry laksa, but much less “liu”.

P1000615
This is a no nonsense bloody awesome juicy, melts in your mouth fanfuckingtastic ginormous burger from a shop called Breko at the Holland Village (thanks lainey!). Forgot to take a picture when the food came and was reminded by my friend to take a picture after I’ve wolfed down half of it. Bad blogger. Even the coleslaw was yum, like how KFC’s coleslaw used to be except BETTER. Only SGD12.50. One of the most satisfying meals I’ve ever had in Singapore. I was full all day till way past dinnertime.

P1000618
AND…. it’s really difficult to not have a soft spot for a shop with a promotion like THAT, don’t you think?

P1000626
There’s also a really cute Japanese bakery at the Holland Village which sells all sorts of Japanese type of bread. One bread in particular which caught my eye was this one, melon pan (pan is bun/bread in japanese, btw) because it reminded me of an episode on Yakitate Japan (which I truly enjoyed and reviewed some time back) where the contestants had a melon pan baking challenge and the buns looked almost like this! Man, the stuff they had in there ALL looked delicious but I was so stuffed by the burger (and 2 bottles of Asahi) that I couldn’t bring myself to buy or eat anymore food. Sinfully tempting or not. Burp.

P1000629
My friend took me to a street called…. chicbob (shit I terforgot the name, will edit this once I find out the proper name) where there’s an entire row of pretty looking quaint shops selling all sorts of stuff - I have to take pictures to show them to you because I’m not that good with words at 1.40am on a Monday morning. There was a shop which sold all sorts of baking ingredients and tools, where I stumbled upon this beauty for only SGD 5.95. I can’t possibly describe how happy I was to have FOUND this drink mixer tumbler thingy in the open by ACCIDENT. WILLING for me to buy it. I think I’ll christen it at somebody’s new year’s eve party.

So tired d, I’m going to bed but I will end this post with a rant or two:

Post Xmas crowd here was just bloody STUPID. The ENTIRE country was out walking about on Orchard. ENTIRE COUNTRY. I thought normal weekend crowds were bad, how wrong I was. Last friday was like HELL. Like fire burning everywhere, pitch forks, lava pools, air choked by burning fumes type of HELL. People were everyfuckingwhere. Queueing for EVERYTHING. Too. Many. People. Too many doesn’t even BEGIN to describe the amount of people there were on the streets, in the buildings, at bus stops, in cars. The feeling you get when you’re in the middle of a crowd this fucked up is akin to being stuck in a tiny cave where you have no room to do anything except to crawl on all fours AND that cave gets SMALLER. Shopping crowds is officially at the TOP of my THINGS I HATE VERY MUCH IN SINGAPORE list. ARGHHHH HULKSMASH THEM ALL.

And one more rant, or rather, I’d like to have your thought on this - My mum and I were at M&S on Friday afternoon to buy something, and we were lining up to pay. There was someone else at the counter already, so we were next. There was also another line at a seperate counter on our left with 2 lining up customers. They were all there before we were queuing. After the lady in front of us was done we advanced towards the counter to pay. Suddenly on our left, somebody said out loud “SCUSE ME. I WAS IN QUEUE”. It was the other person from the other queue. Mum and I let her go first - too shocked, too weirded out, and can’t be bothered to make a scene on Boxing day. After that fugly bitch was done with her load of shopping (which I observed were a number inner wear items nobody will EVER see unless they subscribe to fetish porn sites no doubt) we proceeded to pay. We left M&S with a bitter taste in out mouths, and a little bit more aninmosity towards the local people and its kiasu/kiasi culture.

Ladies and gents, I’d love to know what you have to say on a couple of things - 1) Who was in the right 2)What would you have done.

Goodnight.

Can U Guess What This Is About?

December 27th, 2008

First, guess which brand owns which tagline? No prizes for guessing correctly, though.

so much is possible
power in your hands
different plans for different people
talk is still cheap
U call the shots
Got [ U ] got it all
let’s talk puas puas

Now think about what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? For me it’s:
so much is possible - you might let me to do anything
power in your hands - you allow me to do anything
different plans for different people - you pre-tailormake things for me
talk is still cheap - it’s cheap!
U call the shots - i choose what i want
Got [ ] got it all - you are basically everything
let’s talk puas puas - it’s cheap!

So purely based on taglines I have these options:
1. cheap
2. i can choose what i want
3. you tell me what I can want

As the average self-centred consumer who wants nothing but instant gratification - I’d go for the option which is cheap and/or lets me choose whatever I want.

Well, if I wanted a mobile option, the cheap tagline product isn’t exactly mobile enough for me to carry it around in my pocket.

So that leaves me with the product that lets me choose what I want.

Which leaves me with *jengjeng* U Mobile.

Have you been catching their ads? What? Haven’t seen it? No way!

It’s not very easy to miss (or forget) that ad with the guy asking for 5 grapes… or the girl who asked for henna on 2 fingers… or the fella who wanted teh tarik setengah glass… and especially the one where there people are walking around with 20 hats on their heads… So basically it says that you don’t have to buy a full glass of the tarik because you’re only half thirsty. And pay for only what you need.

Yup. All pretty catchy U Mobile ads.

I guess it’s too easy to guess what are they selling, unless you’re trying really hard to be a wiseass. Or unless you’re really THAT blur … okok I’ll be nice and offer you a hint. It starts with a “3” …..

….and ends with the letters “G service providers”.

What’s the biggest difference between them and any other telco provides? U Mobile charges you by THE SECOND instead of the usual 30-60 second blocks which we are all so used to. Any less frillier and you’ll have to carry around a landlinephone. And it isn’t easy to find matching accessories for that, I tell ya. HEhe.

I learnt this in uni last time. Anything that is FREE is GOOD!!! The good thing about U-Mobile is that…. You can call your other U-Mobile friends for free! Free things rock my socks off! So now I can call Yee Hou for free, until 31st March because I told him how good U-Mobile is and he signed up. Go call him, 018-888-8888 kthxbai

You can also download demo games and caller ringtones free of charge. Tetris here I come!! No more boring bus rides, queues in the bank!! Offer valid till 31st December only if not I would have downloaded kau kau *sulks*

So go check out their official website at u.com.my if you’d like more details on their products and services.

Of course here’s another reason to sign up, you’ll get 10 SMSes for every RM10 you spend, and another 10 more thrown in if you hit RM100.

Go go go!
