quick info quick quick updates

first of all, happy teachers day..!! wonder how many of you guys went back to our old schools today? unfortunately, i wasnt able to, coz of meetings today and lack of manpower...

i n f o . . .

1) Chicken pie lovers, read here! With a recommendation from my colleague, last sat me dom and derrick visited "Don Your Personal Pie Club", located at China Square Central. Paisei huh, dom and derrick, i lost my way a few times as we walk from raffles place mrt, and made both of you to walk a big round with me... hehe... Anyway, the Chicken Pie is very very nice~!! Crisy exterior, with juicy fillings... big chicken pieces forms the great kou2 gan3, accompanied with half a boiled egg... and all these at $3.80, for a quarter, & $15+ for the whole pie. (a quarter size slightly bigger than a Polar Puff.) Must try!! (cakes and coffee are available too...heard the cakes are nice, havent get to try..)

2) Wanton mee lovers, your turn now: today other of my colleague brought us all to his favourite wanton mee stall, at ubi. And no wonder it's his favourite, 'cos it's cheap & good! At $2.50, other than the char siew, you have alot of chai xin, mushrooms, shreded chicken & chicken feet..& it's not only 3 wanton in the soup, but 7 or 8..! Most importantly, it taste good. The noodles neither have the taste of the "powder" (common mistake from other stalls), nor like plastic, but is nicely cooked. The soup doesnt only taste of MSG like other stalls...it's pretty Qing1 Tan4. Unfortunatly, the place wasnt too accessible (it's in the industrial park)...it would only be convenient when you happen to pass by... and the opening hours are short.

u p d a t e s . . .

1) Bought myself a USB Bluetooth adapter from sim lim the other day. "yeah.,finally can transfer files to my computer liao.." ya right, first my nokia software cannot detect the Bluetooth drive, now the software cant even be installed... nevermind, sort it out slowly...

2) ...but new things are good too. Saw the brand new Kia Rio.. wah, great improvement over the last model... door closed with a nice "thump" and the cabin was not too bad...a bright interier.. The rear of the hatchback seems to look like the new Opel Astra though... a good bargain @ $47000 plus.. hope the insurance would not be expensive (common "problem" for KIAs) ..private cars are better coz at times they can go faster, especially for long highway trips...

3) ...like P-I-E (not pie) which is quite long...guess i was too bored on the road during work that day, cos i start to "measure" the distance while we travelled from one end (TUAS) to the other (loyang)... it's around 45 to 50km... anyway, this shows how "big" singapore is too... haha... but still...

4) ...despite the distance, driving is getting more expensive with the recently rise in petrol price... OMG.. pump in premium grade ones and it's nearly $1.80 per litre...nearly 170% of diesel ($1.053 per litre). Hope that the hurricanes would be over soon, or else things would get really bad.. For now, i can only switch off the aircon (when it's cool) and be light footed... driving seems to get less enjoyable....

5) ....and my sister tries to lighten up the driving experience...as she pasted a doramon sticker on my dad's van window... -_-" Aircon-man with a doramon?? hahaha...
