Been a really long time since I've last blogged man.. things to talk about are starting to pile up with all those photos to share. think can't drag it any longer =__="

My back muscles are slightly aching from the work out (or rather, lack of it) at bedok's gym with gu. woke up pretty early in the morning to get there but once i was there i'm abit stunned by -

first - the crowd,
and second - all the beefy guys (eee...)

i don't really erm.. fancy guys with over-developed muscles. looks very unproportionate. O_o

been eating a lot lately especially korean food haha just last friday I've met up with my ex-colleague and a colleague to go try out the korean restaurant located in International Plaza (nxt to Tanjong Pagar mrt stn) and it was good!!! actually three of us reached earlier but the 4 makan-steer was late so we walked around but seriously other that the super exaggeratingly long corridor with 10 lifts (i'm serious!) there's nothing much to see. it's a very old building with rather auntie shops BUT, there's gramaphone haha so that's where we stayed to kill time. when we were outside the restaurant there's only one group of customers inside and the staff wasn't able to converse in english (cos from china). lady boss was korean of course. we were led to a private room (woo!) and sat there while flipped the menu pages around excitedly. LC quite kanchiong (i bullshit la) cos she keep poking menu while ordering frm the staff LOL think the staff very stressed le. we took quite awhile to order cos there's quite alot of selection... only thing is that it's pretty pricey We order quite little but the serving is quite a lot so we were all pretty stuffed. We had korean rice cakes (damn chewy) and steamboat (with ramyeon in a big bowl of soup, 6 side dishes and rice for each and every one of us!)

i like my stuff hot and spicy so when i tasted the soup i was like "wooooooo.." hahahaha then when i had the rice cake i "woooooooo.."-ed again lol and so my colleagues were all asking me if it tasted good and all i did was woo and asked them to try. the kimchi was quite a killer. much stronger tasting that the normal kimchi i've tasted in terms of sourness and spiciness but it was good.

Eating @ Tanjong Pagar

gu was the first one to throw in the towel and surrender. there's too much food and we were seriously stuffed.

but it was good food lah. we spent around $66+ in total so that's around $16.50 per pax. decent enough for restaurant lah i guess.

oh yea, one note, we used wooden chopsticks instead of the typical metal and flat one. i thought that was kinda weird although we did use the metal spoon with a longer handle like we would commonly see on korean dramas.

i've bought a beaded jewellery making book lately and was trying out one of the designs.



...and tada...!



actually it was pretty fun to make. think i'll try the other designs soon..erm.. after i get a fatter paycheck.

oh well for the new year i DID accomplish some stuff.


  1. i finally bought a decent compartmentalized box to keep my jewellery parts.
  2. i finally washed my hamster tank after 2 weeks (they stink like hell).
  3. i finally brought feng to botak jones and i think she loves it!


What intend to do is...

bring kelv kor to try the tanjong pagar korean food!
cos he's so sweet he said he was gonna cook for me n wilson over this weekend!

i had a CNY dinner with my aunt earlier last week along with my other cousins. i'm mildly surprised that they don't know any dialects at all. not even cantonese cos that's the most common language spoken in the family although our family's dialect is hainanese. we had the dinner in crystal jade and OMG i think the bill was like SGD400!? depending on the size of bryan's eyeball when he peeked at the bill.

his eyeballs were pretty big at that time.

I also did realised that since i have telepark pass... i can get 10% discount from subway woo!!

hehehehe

last but not the least....

i'm sooooooooo excited abt pam's wedding dinner in jan and jamesy's in feb!
