New Majestic Hotel

Heard of a boutique hotel? This is it!
The owner of the hotel, certainly has an uncanny affinity towards prehistoric chairs...
And you thought that I was exaggerating...
The hotel's infinite pool which allows you to pedal five times before you reach the other end. Nonetheless... a very interesting mix and play of mosaic tiles and colours!

Blair Road Admiration...

Some of the conservation shophouses along Blair Road, which is now converted into houses, which is unfortunately worth millions!White house belongs to a famous celebrity. (Lips are sealed!)
Even the doors and grills are preserved - retro 30s baybee...
And of course, the scene would not be complete without a post-existent train station...

Wiener Kaffeehaus @ Neil Road

The venue? A 1928 conservation shophouse situated at Neil Road which was completely refurbished to create this Viennese-Asian fusion ambience with light jazz playing on the background...
Prices are similar to your typical commercialised coffee outlets that you find every kilometre apart, but there's no comparison at all! This one? Two thumps up!

Space...


Welcome back to this part of the century, when space is truly an issue and
claustrophobia has become Asia's new epidemic. And for all you workaholics out there, you know what I am yapping about if you are stuck in your three-by-three cubicle reading this (concentrate at work, you bastard!). And of course, that piece of thing that you are sitting on rite now, ... swivels ... , because your boss prefers if you were to stay within your workspace. By that he means that he wants the damn report done yesterday.

The new profound insanity of humans over-copulating, just because buying condoms over the counter can be most embarassing when the lady cashier snickers as she beeps your box-of-twelves pass the red beam, mountained by a few cartons of toothpaste and hairgel used as decoy. And just because the existence of male-sluts suddenly became overwhelming. Just because...

A massive problem? Ahh.. DUH! Because when you think you have escaped from the bumper-2-bumper fiasco along Jalan Sultan Ismail, the MRT made packed sardines count their blessings. It's just a matter of time before I get bitchslapped by women on the MRT. Yes, it is crowded. Yes, you are invading my personal space (and you might think otherwise as well, because you look bitchy, hence you are a bitch). No, I dun believe that contact is very inappropriate with strangers (especially with bitches, but sometimes I really dun mind it as well ...). But I can't help it if you resemble a freaking letter "b" sideways and those things of yours are pressing against my letter " l ".

Nevertheless, there is hope people *spin the Pearly Gates soundtrack y'all!* .Yes there is. We still have toilets, cubicles where we can calmly sit there and think. We know we think best in there ... like they say, what goes out, must come in. Yes, the one place that brings back the sanity to all working professionals. Ahhh...bliss.... until some farktard decided to dislocate the toilet bowl, and now my sanctuary is slanted towards the left side (he must be right handed ass wiper, ohhh aren't we all?), and now sewage is constantly leaking (tsunami, till we meet later), and now it smells like concentrated methane in there!

NO ONE FARKIN' LIGHTS A MATCH or we will all go down together!

GruvAvenue Live!

She just have to remind me that I'm gonna miss their performance by a week. Dammit!

Changes

Ahah! I can't the mess anymore! I'm using a new font!

Kids...remember this!

This actually happened to me during Form 5. Thought of re-living the memories after reading this!

Beelibaala's Metamophorsis!

Because determination still requires perseverance...

Car-nival @ Singapore Expo

At the risk of turning into a Mercedes blog, I had to share this photo I snapped at Expo today! So sue me if you think that the three-pointed stars are a mother of all chinese cliches - I likeee-keeeee. Imagine this parked outside your garden wedding. Let's hope this baybee gets a lil more affordable, nearing towards my wedding. Or I'll just invite an entourage of rich relatives over.

Even better, I'll just hire a sniper for Mr. Pitt... his wealth goes to my baby Jolie... I'll then marry her and we live happily ever after. Seems like a purrfect plan!

Perspective...

Today was my turn to buy breakfast for Andrew & family... just to celebrate the good news... oh yes... and because they were all-so-nice to prepare the best champagne breakfast when I first recieved the news. Oh wells, news like this is worth celebrating another time ;) Headed to the Pasir Ris dogrun to witness Bentley's weekly hump-fest with the other dogs (somewhat unsightly, but its only human I guess) . To avoid being innocently mistaken for a humping -pole, decided that it was best I stayed in the pet store .. and I came across this quote in one of those motivational posters.

Doing business is like being in a tank filled with sharks.
If you don't swim fast enough, you get bitten.
If you stay still, you get eaten alive.
Interesting perspective... but what the fark is it doing in a pet shop?!

Department Gathering @ Jumbo

The directors wanted to organise a chill out session, or rather a stress-management programme. Delegation of work at its best... some call it tai-chi... guess who did the organising?! Bleh! Haha... not complaining but my email inbox really did "bomb-char" on Friday!
Am not a big fan of crabs, but this was good shit! Black pepper crab tasted nicer than the chilli ones though.
Looks like the stress-management programme went pretty well. Or maybe it was the two jugs of beer... because the amount of crap-talk was simply indescribable...

Coffeebreak @ Beaufort Sentosa

Wassssappp?! OK, I think this is the coffee talking, not my usual self, or isit? Ohhhh wat the fark... just had my third cuppa java after barging into Raffles City for the 3rd consecutive time today! Not a compulsive buyer but I felt that I needed to smack those caffeine out of the system before heading home. But looks like there's still a lil left... anywaysss... here's the view from our coffee table. Feels like Bali (although I am yet to head that direction!).
Chillin' sessions. Not that viewing properties were tiring but more like we didn't get enough of Sentosa.
Complementary nuts and olive platter served together with coffee. Very nice touch!
For some reason or another, there's peacocks everywhere in the hotel. And beneath the peacock is his baby cock. Probably safer here than struting round the streets rather than being banged by women who believes that driving with 5-inch heels is perfectly safe and SUVs are king .

Private Launch of OceanFront @ Sentosa Cove

Thanks to Aileen, we managed to snag some invites to the launch of the OceanFront condominiums at Sentosa Cove, supposingly one of the more exclusive addresses in the region. I like to call it the "Palms" of Asia Pacific. Others might very well call it the world's biggest daylight robbery.
Smacked with a SGD2.2mil starting price for a 3 bedroom apartment that has a 99 year lease. As the cliche saying goes, "Nothing lasts forever!". To phrase things a lil differently, your precious grandkids might just have to move their complacent butts back to the main island once the government decides that unblocking condos seem fun.
I'm so certain that everyone's trying to cash in on the Intergrated Resort that's coming out. Sure, prices might jus skyrocket once those blueprints have been approved. Disposal is another thing altogether. Ask yourself, would you buy the condo for SGD4mil after 5 years? That is like ten Mercedes CLS55AMG. One of each colour you know!! OK, maybe not... but this... I might just buy! And maybe this as well. You can probably tell that we were a lil more impressed with the houses instead. Gosh... this was fun... and somewhat inspiring (to work harder at least) ;) All in the name of a plot of land which costs at least SGD6mil... yes.. i said "land", not "house".

Never fails to jumpstart the day ;) Enjoy!

The Ring

I told you that women can be scary at times. U never know wat they will do next...


This is like revenge for posting my secret message to God...muahaha. Anyways, so that you know, I wrote something behind the post-it as well... jus to thank the Dude for my job and all ;) And miraculously, something happened earlier this month. PTL!

And maybe I shud thank Beelibaala for saving me the hassle of writing another blinding post on my trip back to KL :p

Ponder ponder..

Ahh.. it has definitely been a long time since any ridiculous blogpost has been sighted. I'm just gonna blame it on work... and just how unfortunate is that?! But that's working life, it sucks you in and it spits you out real so dry that a jug of La Mer won't even work for the poor chicks at my department . Welcome to my line of work anyways.

So, what exactly have I been up to? Let's see... returned from my Brunei in one piece (although I did leave a couple of pieces of my brains back there unintentionally) spent long relentless nights drafting out the final report, took 3 days off to recover, spent quality time back in KL, posted some creative notes to God with her at Galeriiizu, drove round Singapore in a pimpin' car, and the last stop was Sentosa (yes, I have a thing for beaches, however you spell it these days).

Well, let's just say also that I have made a number of quantum leaps within a week or so, some of which did create somewhat of a shockalingam for myself as well. Never in many pre&post-puberty years would I have these line of thoughts.

Anyways, I have now put family and friends on a slightly higher altitude than money itself. Havin' a high-flying career is nevertheless a priority to me but it is the environment that you sleep in and wake up to, that is the most important. And no, I'm not talking about a freakin' thousand dollar KingCoil mattress. Those are only for good sex. Get the jizz, people?!

A big thanks to those people who had made a difference! I'm sure you'd know who you are ;)

When doggie meets jungle...

Another trip to Botanic Gardens... one word that says it all.... "Woot!" For some reason, I haven't really found out why is the lil island so organised. I mean... compare the trees along the avenue, with umm, Kenny Hills which is like the mother of all pubic jungle altogether. Jaime's dogs, which I didn't even bother speaking to them. They only understand French...
Now, this is jus way ridiculous! Since when was Superman black?! Nevertheless, looks very bling on it.
