5 wonders @ Pan Pacific Hotel - Fine Dining

After 2 weeks of confinement in the army, we met up for a "reunion" dinner. We reserved a table for 5 @ Pan Pacific Hotel's Global Kitchen and ordered 3 courses, The Appetizer, The Main & finally The Dessert. On top of that, we had 2 complimentary wines provided by the Asst. Manager of the day (Dave). Everything is top notch, the services, the signature dishes, the wines, the ambience.... "Picture speaks a thousand words" Let's start out with the Appetizers we had for that night.

This is a goose liver with cactus fruit and a shot of creamy like stuff, everything just fall into place and it's perfect ! It's rather fattening though.

A plate of bean soup, I don't exactly what is it but it tasted rather fine. =D The rest are very nice appetizers as well just that the goose liver gave me the deepest impression.

Done with the appetizers? Let's proceed on with the mains..

Wagyu Sirloin Steak !

Red Snapper ! Freaking awesome and fresh !

My favourite Cod fish but Chun jie had it. I tasted a bit and I didnt know what to describe at that moment.

I had this signature dish by the guest chef. It's Olive Oil Poached Crayfish with smoked tomatoes. That's all I could remember. It's simply awesome and gratifying. hehe ! Enjoyed it so so much ! The Wagyu sirloin steak is also another signature dish.

Last but not least the wonders of desserts..

Lemon with pomegranate syrup !

Almond with coconut ice cream.

I forgot what you called it but I reckon it's the nicest dessert for the day. A MUST TRY one. Hehe ! The smile on rich's face explains everything.

Sponge cake with chocolate fudge. Supremacy !

Lastly, Chocolate tart with vanilla ice cream. It suits girls BEST ! :D

Finally I present to you the 5 Wonders @ Pan Pacific. Next up would be a gathering at Pan Pacific Pool side Buffet on the 18th of Aug.

endorphins create happiness.

Chocolate seriously makes one happy after consuming it. Well, scientifically cause chocolate contains a chemical endorphins. Been training for the past few days at rich's place, swimming late in the morning, gym in the afternoon. Now, I have to do pushups and situps everyday if not I feel very uneasy. Exercise will not be the missing factor now in my daily life. I hope I'm able to continue training despite working next week. Hope I have the discipline to do so and I'm gonna eliminate gaming.

Yesterday, I signed the contract and now I'm bounded with 6 weeks of work. Next monday will officially be my first day of work. I suppose next week will be a week of training before I get to serve customers. Well, conversing will definitely not an issue for me as I have acquired presenting skills in my poly years. However, it will be a challenge to handle customers attitudes and demanding commands.

Today, was out for the whole day, had swimming and gym till 3+ and afterwhich we shopped in lot1 hoping to find a suitable present for chun jie. Nothing attracts us even if it does, we cant afford it. We rented a DVD "The Messenger" and watched it @ kum wai house. Met up with my family for a belated birthday dinner for my dad, had really a full meal and till now I can feel my stomach bloated. Cant sleep ! DAMN ! Okay I'm gonna watch tv. CIAOZ !

an adrenaline-pumping experience..

For the first time my adrenaline reached its peak and the pressure of the blood acting my blood vessels are so great as if its bursting any second. Well it all started with........

Me: Alright, let's go I send you guys home. It's 3am already.

Rich, han, Kum wai: Okay !

We head towards the carpark and get the engine started. We saw this new road (just finished not long ago), alongside BBDC and the temple.

Me: Where will this new road lead us to?

Rich: I don't know ! Let's go uncover it.

Without hesitation, I headed straight when I'm supposed to turn. The nightmare is in the midst of happening already. No one knows it !

Kum Wai: Ai ya this route will lead us to CCK. Jingz tried this route before.

Me: Ohhh, it seems nearer taking this route compared to the other.

Kum Wai: Nah, it's rather similar.

I'm kinda lost and we were just passing through traffic lights. However at this VERY traffic light. A dark coloured van was pacing behind us. When we came to a halt....

Han: BREAD VAN !

Me: Where?

Han: Just behind us.

Me: It's a police van lah !

Kum Wai: Why you call it a bread van?

Han: It's use to capture criminals so ya.....

At the moment, the 4 of us were looking at the "BREAD" van and joking about it. It was green light and before I accelerate, I had a glimpse of my rear mirror ------ Siren was on ! DAMN ! I asked myself "I tot it was off and why is it on now?"

Kum Wai: eh weiyi, give way give way..

Me: Okay. (I steered towards the left)

Han: Wah, the bread van wanna chia u.

Han: Eh, they signaling and wants you to stop.

Me: Serious? (as I glanced to my right)

I stopped by the roadside before they asked me to turn into the carpark. At split seconds, it was

Police Officer: Can you off your engine and everyone get off please?

Me: Okay (My adrenaline pumping ages ago)

Police Officer: Who's the driver?

Me: I am.

Police Officer: Driving License please.

I reached for my crumpler pouch and had my wallet out. After he saw my driving license.....

Police Officer: Ohhhh, not even a year. Where's your P-Plate?

Me: (DUMBFOLDED)

Police Officer: Whose van is this?

Me: My dad's.

Police Officer: Your dad knows you're driving it?

Me: Errrr yes.

Police Officer: Can I call your dad and ask?

Me: He's sleeping already.

When I was about to tap the numbers on my phone. He said "Don't call yet." Afterwhich he called for the other batch of police officers whom I suppose they are CIDs. All of them were in outwear clothes. No uniforms, just home clothes. Had a small chatting session with the police officers. We were just answering questions actually.

Police Officer: Where you guys came from?

Me: We had supper @ Bukit Gombak and now I'm sending them home.

Police Officer: Where each of u stays?

Me: Jurong East.

Rich: Bukit Panjang.

Kum Wai: Teck Whye.

Han: Toh Guan.

Police Office: You guys studying?

All: No, we waiting for enlistment.

At that moment, I thought I'm gonna receive a summon for not displaying P-Plate. Adrenaline still rushing....

Police Officer: Why you don wanna display P-Plate?

Me: I forgot cause usually my dad will take down if he drives.

Police Officer: What are the consequences for not displaying P-Plate?

Me: ONCE AGAIN I'M DUMBFOLDED.

Police Officer: Can you display it now?

Me: (Pause for 3 seconds) huh?!? orhhhh okay ! (Blur ass)

Police Officer: Next time please display, don't get your license revoke because for a few dollars.

Me: Orhh okay, thanks !

Police Officer: Okay get going now and driving safely.

All: Bye bye !

For once I thought I'm gonna get demerit points and fine. Luckily was just a warning but I guess that wasnt the main issue. They find us suspicious and I think that ulu stretch had some gang fights or criminal events before so they were just patroling. Unluckily day indeed but NICE EXPERIENCE !


Finally to Kum Wai: Thanks for the speakers. They are awesome.. Hehe !!!!!

No more being a Nuaster !

30th July and that's day my work commences as a customer service consultant for Standard Chartered Bank. Actually I sent in my resume the night before yesterday and they called my yesterday to schedule an interview @ Payar Lebar today @ 9.30am. It's pretty fast ya? Lucky enough I got a reply just now from recruit express saying they would like to offer me the position. Hehe ! It's a 6 weeks contract starting 30th July to Mid september. Pay is pretty attractive @ $1,800 and that's the reason why I dun mind travelling to Payar Lebar.

This week I've been catching alot of shows in the cinema. Last night I caught this movie with Jingz, his friend, Kum Wai, Rich and myself @ Shaw JE cineplex. I would say this movie deserves a full 5 stars for me. I fancy the plot of this movie. It's a MUST watch movie and it's only available in Shaw. Actually I was browsing through movie webbies few days ago when this movie just caught my eye. I watched the trailer and hell yeah I knew its gonna be a nice movie. Woooo hooo !

Yx miss me siol LOL got his sms this morning, he's gonna book out next friday. QUICK MAN ! This week past soo damn slow without him around.. HEHE ! Anyway soon I'll be working too. To yx: Our KT kinda dies off for a week already, it's gonna be back next friday. Rich and I are waiting...

Transformers ! "Robots in Disguise"

Finally caught the movie, transformers in the movie theatre. It kinda rekindled my crazy-ness for the robots. Still remember when I was young, I cant afford to miss any episodes of transformers and if I did, the day would be a very solemn one for me. Same goes to power rangers. Hehe !

I reckoned transformers to be hell better than any of the spiderman movies or fantastic 4. It's really cool to see cars, chopper, fighter jets and truck transforming into robots. With super duper awesome graphics and sound effects. Hehe ! It's my favourite ! Hope there's a 2nd part to it. I'll definitely be the first to catch it.

Without sacrificals, there won't be victories. =D

Not a bad day =D

Woke up by Rich's sms saying "Wy, you awake?" Hehe ! The next moment was "Hey wanna go have lunch at the claypot laksa you told me the other day?" I rushed through my chores and met up with rich at my void. Of course I rushed with quality work. *Smiles* Oh SHUCKS, when we reached there, the stall was closed. There's a note saying, "Operating Hours: 8.30am to 3.30pm" DAMN ! We were way later than the closing time. =( We ate the famous cha siew rice and after that we headed to queensway for the original spoon katong laksa.

Caught Die hard 4.0 at shaw org in JEC. Not a bad movie afterall, it's more like a jet li action pack movie and that's wat I love. 4 stars out of 5 for me.. Thumps up ! Next up: Transformers. For sure, I'm gonna watch it ! I know I'm behind time as most of my friends have already watched it. I didn't have to the time you see so hehe but I'm watching free tml.

Met up with rich for the 2nd time today, hehe with nich, han and kum wai. For wat? For a free meal @ park royal hotel again of course, Alex cooked tom yam soup, sweet & sour fish, pepper beef and onion omelet. Simply delicious. =DD Had a chat with the other peeps from the hotel as well. Everyone is so cock and friendly there. I'm still kinda full right now and it's almost 6am already. DAMN ! Ciaozz

Do I look good in this chef toque? LOL I might change my ambition to become a chef? Hehe Kidding man !

Spendthrift's week over !

It's almost over for excessive spending on entertainments and food. Next week onwards, I'm gonna be more diligent and ground myself @ home. Last wednesday was the last clubbing night for me and yx before he goes in army. Was @ MOS with Dave, Alex and Di (Alex's friend). The crowd wasnt really good, the music was okay but well it doesnt suit yx and he was like complaining about it all night. Phuture's still the best ! Now that yx has enlisted to army, the next clubbing night will be 2 weeks later. LOL Richmond's gonna train hard for his fight in august so I aint gonna disrupt his training. RICH BETTER PROMISE ME, You'll CLUB AFTER UR FIGHT !

On thursday, I was out again with the usual peeps, we dined @ park royal hotel, the sichuan alacart buffet. The food wasnt that bad but still I would definitely prefer keppel club, too bad it was closed down due to renewal contract barrier. That was a farewell dinner for Chun Jie as he was enlisted day after the dinner. Most of them went back home after the dinner, leaving behind ME, Rich, Benedict(Sum por), yx and jie yan. We had a chill out session @ clark quay's cuba limbre till around 1+ before we decided to take a pew @ the nearest mac.

I had another farewell dinner @ crystal jade with rich, yx and alex on friday but this time it was for yx. The food wasnt at it's peak I should say. Afterwhich we walked around great world before we headed down to far east. Rich parted us after we reached far east cause he had muay thai training. The thoughts of alex really make me laugh cause whenever we turned on the R&B music, Alex will start dancing no matter where he is. Haha ! He had to beg yx to stop the music. Hehe ! Had a fun time disturbing him. At night we had supper at park royal hotel again but this time it's free. Alex is the chef in the hotel and he was working night shift. He prepared herbal chicken soup, chilli crab and pork meat for us. Simply good ! Gonna patronise more often when he's working night shift again, tom yam soup, fried chicken and many more.. I'm waiting hehehe !!

Alright, It's time to put a stop to all the fun. I'm going to boon lay ah ma house already. Be back for more updates soon.

Humans never get satisfied.

Just got back this afternoon from Chun jie's 21st birthday chalet. Spending another 2 nights out just make me feel sick. I never had a good rest since I returned from bangkok. Spending 2 nights in the chalet is like DEVILISH though it's hell fun and tiring. I meant devilish as in I got very prone to sickness and tiredness. Didnt had a good sleep on the first night as we were drinking and partying in the room itself. And the worst thing was, I had to send my friend off to aust 7.30am in the morning @ the airport. After the partying, it's already like 7am so damn it, I have to go straight to the airport with all the alcoholic odor on me. Arghh I had no choice cause jingz was forcing me to drink the whole night and luckily heidi didnt mind BUT I hate presenting myself like that.

Friends are all leaving one by one for aust, sad man.. Left with guys in singapore cause we have be nation slaves soon. Right after I sent heidi off, I went back to the chalet and everyone was snoozing like pigs. Not a single space for me to lay my body so I decided to go a swim in the pool (30 laps). =D It was kinda refreshing after the swim but still I had to rest my brain so I just squeezed in to get myself a sleeping space. 4 hours of sleep before rich and yx started disturbing my sleep.

2nd day was shitty, LOL when I woke up was like half-day gone and we made our way to downtown east and had our "LUNCH", how cool?!?!? @ 4pm.. Afterwhich played arcade for almost an hour. Had to rot in the chalet before the others join us and kick start the fun. Beer, chips, peanuts, music, dance, laughter, snapshots, video were all to describe that night. I was totally drained out as I knocked out after I had a cooling bath.

Seriously when you're having fun everyday, you tend to get sick of it and wish that you had more rest and lesser fun. LOL However, I didnt regret a single bit. This would be the last fun week together as some of them will be enlisting this friday and saturday. NEXT WEEK ONWARDS, I WILL DEFINITELY BE STAYING AT HOME ! Job-hunting starts next week and my daily exercises. Been resting for like 2 weeks, time to regain fitness before I get too lazy. =D

2nd consecutive day - Clubbing !

I'm totally drained out after yesterday's night @ O bar. The night was meant for our upcoming birthday boy, Sing Chun Jie. Last night was also the last clubbing night for all of us, I HOPE SO. And please, no one shall tempt me to go club next time. What I remember last night was just MUSIC, DANCE, CAMERA SHOTS & DRINKS. Most of us were super duper high and we went all out to dance.

In the end, Yx and Chun jie were dead drunk. Haha *WEAK SHIT* LOL kidding.. However to club with closest friends is something money cant buy. It's really enjoyment at its best. Everything turns out fine last night, Rich & Kum wai sent the birthday boy home, Han and ME acc yx by the roadside and after which I sent him to his doorstep.

Rachel and yan were there too. But suddenly, they disappear without me knowing LOL. Guess I'm too high and I didn't care what's around me. Seriously RICHMOND, Alex's dance reminds me of the superstar Darren siol. Almost similar.

Alex and ME ! Seriously, he resembles Darren when he dances.

All the peeps in the house, COME ON Let's PARTY !

We laid down on each other cause we were F***ing tired.

People in the house, put ur right hand up, put ur left hand up and say YEAH !!

No work but still I'm busy =D

I haven been a good boy staying at home since I touched down in Singapore after my Bangkok trip. Thursday I went to meet up with my year 1 poly mates, we dined in USA New York Diner @ Cineleisure. As usual, the moment we saw each other, the taunting never stops. =D But anyway, we have a great time together, it's really been ages since we last met up especially with the peeps like keng wee and yuga. After that we headed down to AMK, chilled out @ the nearby mac. Keng wee's brilliant idea ! and I have to take cab home with midnight charges. Don't mind spending since we hardly meet up.

Friday was the night we had one of the best clubbing nights, PHUTURE ROCKS. Get to socialise with Rich's shatec mates and Nich's cousin's friends. Saw quite a few familiar faces down there. It's really a huge group of us yesterday @ phuture, dancing and having fun. GREAT ! Not too much for drinks but more dance and socialising.

The KT goes on as long as we 3 survives. Seriously you won't know what this 3 assholes are thinking.

Everyone wants to be in the picture. How cool ?!?!

Horny BASTARDS ! =DD Lick it well, Lick it good, Lick it just like you should.

Mr RIGHTS ! We have the Rights to do the WRONG.. =P

Me and Rachel. Used to call her seaweed hair cause she kinda like got con for rebonding her hair. Hehe. These pictures just bring me back to the times in secondary school days.

10 years down the road, when we review these pictures, we will definitely be laughing at it. hehe ! no lies siol ! Tonight's gonna be @ MOS, the last clubbing session with those entering army next friday.

Back from Bangkok..

Broke, Gratifying, Fruitful, Tired are the words to describe this trip with "The Team REDBULL" Hehe.. Spent alot but with no regrets, 4 days non-stop shopping, walking, sweating, massaging and eating. WOW simply shiok-ness. We can never do the same thing in Singapore. The lives of singaporean living in Bangkok = King's life. Had lots of fun with "the EIGHT" though there are some cock ups in between. Cock ups as in when 8 of us are doing shopping we are kinda wasting a lot of time cause some of them are really awww slow.

Now after the bangkok, I have no excuse to say I do not have enough T-shirts. I bought at least 20 Tees, 1 demin jacket, 2 berms and 1 jeans, others are just miscellanous. We were lucky enough because bangkok was having their mid year sale as well. OMG, shopping in bangkok, seriously you wont have a 2nd thought. Anything which caught your eye, you will just buy it home. =D Below are just some of my favourite stuff bought from bangkok.
