Yes the results for the soloists are ABSURD as Ken said. WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!! Robert was sooooo sooooo good. I was hoping he or Fendi would make it to the last two for a really good fight. Now I hope Fendi will win cos the other two, sorry nothing personal, really cannot cannot make it ! This show now is a farce where the soloists are concerned.
hahaha here I go criticizing Live The Dream contestants. Robert & Fendi are good. The other two should have gone home long time ago...both boring & out of tune. There were a couple of soloists who were more deserving. I think rani was pretty good. For the groups, Cats In The Cradle are good. After the Rain is wah liao...quite jialat. By Definition & Revelina pretty ok too. Leave it to audience votes sure haywire. Same like singapore idol...sigh. I may not be able to sing but think I am discerning enough to know who can sing & who cannot. Shona is there cos she is cute...marketable. Unfortunately voice nothing to rave about.

Lament for the day...oh here we go again !

Sunday 23 September 2007



Dinner last night was at Lau Par Sat. Wanted to have satay & heard that stall no 1, fatman satay was there & good.

It was nice but I was a little disappointed, not as good as I'd expected. Infact, I think the one which used to be outside Sembawang Shopping Centre (until the centre closed) was the best I'd had. Oh well...

Finally watched ratatouille & it was a nice fun movie. Enjoyed it. Have been a little sceptical of animations since Madagascar which was lousy. My fave new animated movies would be Lion King 1, Shrek 1 & Finding Nemo. This is excluding the original disney animations like snow white, cinderella, pinnochio etc etc.

Dinner tonite was at Lavendar street food court....the wanton mee. Shiok ! Today's queue was long as usual but service was really really slow cos there were only two of them today. Usually there are 3 of them. Wonder why they don't get help.

Oh, donut factory & munchy's taste not much different, just diff flavours. I like different flavours from the two...chocolate mint from df & oreo's from munchy's.

Lament for the day...think I will get sick of donuts soon.

Friday 21 September 2007

Yesterday we had donuts from munchy's. It was pretty good. Think J Co is better. Sarah says donut factory better but I wouldn't know.

Kids out at church studying...well at least I hope they are.

I need to colour my hair...sigh...the whites are showing arrrrghhhhh ! If got time, will go tomorrow.

Haven't used any of the vouchers I changed from my credit card points...some shopping due tomorrow perhaps ?

Another gantry on CTE from town back home. WTF ? If you want to reduce the traffic, don't fucking issue so many COEs lah & make cars so affordable. Go home kena one gantry never mind, now two ! We re going home for goodness sakes ! And wtf timing may be extended some more. Ya lah, the intention is to get us to take public transport and I don't mean taxis, take bus or mrt. So that can faster cover cost for new lines & make more money & oh, not forgetting covering the wage increases.

Didn't surprise me when gst went up after the elections & now all these policies. We have to work until we dieeeeee with the amount of money that we have to fork out. I reckon my generation will barely smell our CPF...sigh. At the last elections, if I remember right, one of the speeches indicated that their win was a clear signal of the citizen's support for the pap. But err...in the last few elections, got more & more people voting for opposition leh.,,,si mi signal hah ?? In this next election, we shall see what sort of signal lor. My parents' generation have always supported the pap because of how they built the country up but this generation is slowly dying off. I was a supporter too. It will hardly be surprising to see support & confidence wane.

Aiya, simply put... don't fuck up what you have taken so long & hard to build.

Lament for the day...dunno can smell or not...sigh. May only be given enough to buy walker, dentures & adult diapers...

Ahhh I now know where the donuts our neighbour gave us are from. J.Co Donuts from Jakarta. They are really very good ! Sarah says that The Donut Factory is awesome but just thinking of the queues...quite a put off. I hear that Munchy Donuts are good too. There is one opposite Ryan's school...need I say more lolol.

Donut factory is opening up in Novena Square, Munchy's is opening one at cineleisure & when browsing the J Co website, see that its coming here soon.

There are donuts stores sprouting up everywhere. Wonder if this is like the bubble tea or rotiboy or even the strudel fads ? Dunkin Donuts didn't do well but then the donuts are nothing compared to the ones I just mentioned. Not tried DF or Munchy's yet but J Co donuts is, to me, wicked good !

Wonder why Krispy Kreme donuts have not made it here ??? Must be franchise very high.

I had rotiboy in JB long before it made it here. I wondered then why no one brought it in. Lo & behold ! It came & went ! Competitors began to sprout up too. And then they all died a natural death. I guess the difference with rotiboy & the donut shops is that the latter has alot more flavours. Rotiboy is just the one. So the donut fad will last, at least for a longer term than the rotiboys, paparoti, mamaroti & whatever else roti.

The only roti that has lasted for eons & will continue outlast all is the mother of all rotis...Roti Prata lolol ! I also love my yu char kuay, ain't a fad that would fade too...best dipped in coffee !

Lament for the day...indulge & I'll look like a stuffed donut.

How terrible, two earthquakes in Indonesia. Fortunately a tsunami did not follow in its wake. Cora felt the tremors from the second quake while watching tv in the living room. I was upstairs in the bathroom & felt nothing.

Have been having off & on headaches today, even right now. And feeling very tired. Perhaps its the weather.

Army guy with the gun & bullets should be charged & punished accordingly. Lets not spare the rod....I believe it was 18 strokes. And the family kicking the press...well duh...they shoulda known that it would have been caught on at least one camera.

Another colleague is leaving the company...another HOD....sigh. wtf.

Ryan did fairly well for prelims. Quite happy he didn't get a U grade for chinese. Not a bad accomplishment.

Lunch on Sunday with the family, someone kena 4D (sigh...not us leh) & treating. Shaslik here we come !!

Yesterday one of our neighbours gave us a box of deeeeleeeeecious donuts...different toppings on them. Looked online & there isn't a store here. Think they went KL & bought from there. Yummy ! Then today, other neighbour gave us homemade ngoh hiang. Lol...they all returning the favour from the fish we gave. Which really isn't necessary.

Lament for the day...still sux. Lol.

Saturday 8 September 2007

Haven't redeemed our credit card points in ages & did a check tonite. Had over 9000pts so redeemed $170 worth of vouchers for shopping & dining. Not bad at all. Now in midst of checking all other rewards programmes for our cable & mobile phones. For mobile phones we are using all 3 service providers lol.

Its that time of the month & I feel really crappy. So darned tired when this happens. Feel very drained...must be old age also ugggghhhhhh.

Quiet Saturday. Sarah went tanning at Sentosa but dunno what kind tan she got as it was raining this morning & then cloudy all day.

Am now reading Scarlett, sequel to Gone With The Wind. Not sure if I like it. Just a couple of chapters in.

Lament for the day ... it still sux !!

Wednesday 5 September 2007

Sunday 2 September 2007

The verdict : Tastes good :> But can't get them into blocks. Dunno why....sigh. A few did come in pieces but the rest will have to eat with spoon lololol.
Met up with godma & an aunty whom I have not seen in years yesterday for lunch. Chatted & caught up till almost 4pm. It was a nice get-together. Then dinner with kids at botak jones (again!) cos the kids wanted. Bumped into my cousin, his wife & son. Baby sooooo cute !


Found the coconut candy recipe in an old recipe book from godma. Made it just & we shall see how it turns out lol. It looks & smells fine lol. Hope it tastes good. We shall see. Verdict later.
