Moleskine

What I always wanted.

MY OWN MOLESKINE..........feels a tit more special and invigorated.

My First Bonus

Bonus. The one word that triggers the endorphins in almost all self-interested, profit motivated beings. Too bad I was in Xiamen and could not get my bonus letter promptly. The only thing that I can do was to check for my bank account on 26th June. It was a painful 2 days wait as my colleagues in Singapore already gotten the letter on the 24th.

It was around 11.40pm on 25th June, that my bank account was instantaneously reinvigorated to a higher amount. Needless to say, waves of ecstasy filled me.

Fine Dining

Went to this restaurant that is by all standards.......expensive and classy. In my opinion, this is Chinese food served in French portion and style.



A slice of peking roast duck to the left, prawn with something something in the middle and foie gras. It was....... erm..... fine dining.....



A soup that took 12 hours to prepare. Taste starchy but it was great with the Cong You Bing.




The lamb piece was awesome. There was not an inch of the pungent lamby smell that we would find in the hawker centres or some lousy restaurants.



High grade dory fish. It looked smaller than what it appears here. -_-



This little plate of beef cost a lot. The meat was succulent and soft. No chewing involved. It just melts in my mouth.



The noodle and mushrooms are but the grass to complement the abalone.




Yang Zhi Gan Lu. Heavens...............

Random mumbles on a beautiful Sunday morning on the first of June.

Just a relaxing morning with my Starbucks.

Eli Stone

You are a high-flier lawyer, on a fast-track route to partnership. You are earning big bucks. You are representing the whos and whos in the corporate world. What if you are also a prophet?

This show, which probably will not be shown in Singapore, not because it is prohibited, more likely or so it is not as well recognized like Lost or Desperate Housewives. None-the-less this is a show with a soul. There is a message that reaches out to people.

Eli Stone is that high-flier lawyer. However he begins seeing and hearing things. Hallucinations? Or a divine message? That is the struggle for a lawyer who is brought in an environment that demands hard, cold facts. He soon realised that these visions are a result of a brain aneurysm. Scientific enough. Visions due to some issues with the brain.

It wasn't as simple as he thought. He kept seeing things that he soon realized related to cases he is taking on. For example, he saw a dragon that terrorizes him. True enough, someone approached him to sue a Dr Agon for mal-practice.

It would seem like a comedy of a lawyer that sees stuff of divine nature and in the process makes a mockery of himself, when he actually dances and sings in the public. But as the shows go on, one would start to search deep within us of the soul that makes us. In the show, Eli Stone began to "live". From corporate clients, he started defending people that is of no significance to the big law firm he is in. Imagine asking Ernst & Young to help audit a hawker store. It is of that magnitude.

This show truly touched me on a personal level. Of faith, of friends, of family and of the simplicity in life. What we truly want? And are we asleep or living?

4.5 Stones out of 5!

Nature Trail

I love my home. It is in Queenstown and its really convenient to go to Orchard (15 min by bus or S$5.40 by taxi) or to CBD area (15min by MRT) and of course I can walk to Vivocity or Sentosa.

One latest attraction that has Singaporeans all buzzed is the Nature Trail that link Harborfront MRT to possibly Kent Ridge. And its only like 10min away from my house.




The bridge/trail/pathway is built real high up.



Go on and on and on...up to Mount Faber....





The trail is divided into many sections. Marang Trail, Alexandra Arch and Henderson Waves.





This got to be my favourite part of the Trail.







Good view at the top. Able to see the CBD area. I looked instensely and I saw ORQ. Serious!



Sentosa!



Will be going there more often. And just nice that Vivocity is at the end of the trail.

Not worth it

This tiny cup of latte cost me S$6.60. I can get a fantastically large cup of latte at Sphinalle at S$5.60. And in Starbucks and Coffee Bean definitely a comparable large size for that range.

TCC you have disappointed me.

But I must say that the latte is good. But. Cost still matters.
