11hrs in Orchard, Singapore

I had stopped working and currently am seriously considering which offers shall i take in order to secure, strengthen and establish my career. Hopefully i could start my new life next year. Anyway, i am going to spend my two weeks casually in Malaysia. I have so far decided to meet Waiseng and some bloggers up for Jalan Jalan, Cari Makan in KL. For those who are free to meet up in KL, please let me know as i so desperately wanna Escape (from my hometown), Explore and Experience KL. Let`s have a 3Es(Escape, Explore and Experience) KL one day trip.


Sun with Moon - Japanese Dining & Cafe.

Okay, back to the topic. Basically, it was a normal dating with two of my friends. But i take it as an opportunity to enjoy food with friends along with good conversation and more importantly is to take photo. Besides these reasons, i will be away Singapore for a while as i will be going back to my hometown and then heading to Hongkong and China for Christmas and New Year respectively.


June and Su Zhen.

Su Zhen with her Unagi + Nabe set lunch.


FuFu`s Unagi Akari Kamameshi + Udon + Sashimi set lunch.

Once everything served, we started to snapshot the food as if we were the food journalist from XYZ Press. The three of us enjoyed the snapshot moment vey much, it`s been a while though, since Berry was in Singapore in July.

We really took our time to slowly bite, truly taste the set lunch and our conversation was deeply absorbing as we didnt notice that we actually had madly spent two hours on our lunch. After a short toilet break, we continued our conversation while enjoying our hi-tea.


Hi-tea time.


FuFu Milk Tea



Need to specially highlight and highly recommend was the dessert - Tofu Cheese Cake(SG$5.5) and Maccha Tiramisu(SG$6). A cheese cake lover shall not miss out the Tofu Cheese Cake if you visit the restaurant. A bit heartier than the common cheese cake, it did satisfy three of us. Maccha Tiramisu was another awesome dessert the restaurant has. It was made by high grade maccha with an excellent colour, aroma and depth of flavour. I enjoyed the delicate combination(maccha and cream) of smooth texture, creamy taste and good value.

It was the first time i heard and saw Tofu Cheese Cake.

Before we stepped out the restaurant.

Well, after that we decided to see a Tawainese movie - Cape No. 7 due to the bad weather(as we planned to go to the Botanic Garden). Once we had purchased the tickets we went window shopping along Orchard Road, photographing and dinner to kill the time until 7pm.


At Orchard Road.


Going up to HMV for some music.


Su Zhen, June and FuFu


Everyone knows that Christmas is around the corner~


*Ding, ding, ding*


After coming out from HMV, June requested me to had my sunglasses on.


What and how do you think?


Takashimaya has a gorgeous Christmas tree.


We had the same smile.


A veteran photographer took this picture.


The amateur FuFu took this.


Good photo needs good photographer and model.


The three of us.

Lunch was not that full but we need to enter the cinema by 7pm so we quickly had our early dinner at Cathay Plaza.


June`s Prawn Mee (Har Min).


Su Zhen had Yee Min.


FuFu`s Ban Min.


FuFu and June with the huge poster of Cape No. 7.

Cape No. 7 is a great movie. It really deserves to be the best selling Asian movie in the recent history of Taiwanese film industry. This romantic comedy, with its combination of characters reflecting the cultural and ethnic diversity of Taiwan, makes audiences laugh (especially FuFu who knows Hokkien, Mandarin, Hakka and Japanese) and cry in turn while delivering a universal message of tolerance.




After the movie, we back to Orchard Road again.


And we started to pose, snapshot...


Trying to be cool and cute?


Yeah, we are going to enter Mont Blanc.


Two models are promoting Canon and Fujifilm.


It is too early to say Merry Christmas.


So lovely taken by June.


Nikon and Fujifilm users.


Finally it`s their turn to stand at the middle.


Quickly i passed the camera to June. Ready 1,2,3~


No kidding, i personally love this photo.


This is the so called Girl-Girl Cold War.


This is the so called Boy-Girl Cold War.


This marks the happy and satisfying ending of the day.

We called it a day in Orchard at 11.02pm. Even though i reached home late (as i stayed way too far from town area), i enjoyed so much hanging out together with June and Su Zhen. We even plan to have such a day (lunch, photography, movie, conversation, etc) once a month in different place next year onwards. Hence, they would be the frequent faces here on my blog.

Gentle Manly Care

Men no longer consider a skincare routine 'sissy'.

Urban guys arent so clueless about skincare any more. Cleansing, toning and moisturising, that is the basic skincare regimen that many guys already have in their vocabulary. Now, they have gone beyond that to include products such as eye gels, face scrubs, anti-aging cream and even facial treatment - stuff once considered 'sissy'.


MenScience - Face Wash, Tonic Toner, Lotion Moisturiser.

"Facial treatment is unisex, said David, my site diving supervisor, not the matter of sex, it is the matter of dirt that you need to get rid of." I really take his advice and am starting to think of my YOUNG time. With a fair and clear complexion, a young boy who have been snatching thousands of girls` hearts...

Since the day i had decided to travel around the world, i had given up to take extra care of my face. Because i know that it is hard to control the cleanliness of the hostels or backpackers and the different climate of the countries i was heading to from another countries. Additionally, i need to work on the night shift and long hours working have worsened my facial problems.

I had my hair cut yesterday. After coming out from the saloon, i was stopped by a beauty specialist and offered to have a special facial treatment just for $30 because it was the company`s 26th anniversary promotion. So i decided to fork over the money to give it a try. It actually was my ever first facial treatment. I was amazed though. It felt too good. I personally like the ice mask, the cooling effect really strengthens the collagen of the skin.

MenScience - Advanced Acne Pads.

After the treatment, i see a clear complexion of my face - impurities and oily residues all gone. Within an hour plus, i noticed a big difference. I was then convinced to buy some of the products - facial wash, toner, moisturiser and acne cream. And decided to have a facial treatment once a month. They are quite expensive but i wish it would work and be well worth the cost in this instance.

If you want to be a man, be a beautiful man.

大佬愛美麗

二十一世纪既新男人已経脱胎换骨
護膚和保養吾再系女人既专用词语
雖然愛美天生是女人的天性和天職

男女已经平等愛美之心人人皆有之
當天使把愛美的種子播在这片大地

是為了追求另一半赢得尊重被関注
美女需要男人来调合這社会的美感
有美女就要有美少男来衬托平衡下
男人愛美麗雖是理所當然天経地義

言语态度也要美飲食健康不可馬虎
我誓要做个各方面都完美的愛男人

Miss Philippines 2008


Miss Philippines and Mister Malaysia.

I still am keeping in touch with Anthony`s friends whom i met in the Philippines last year. Czhalina, also one of Anthony`s housemate in Manila, came to Singapore two months ago, is looking for a permanent job here. Regardless of nationality, religious and skin colour, Czhalina and other housemates warmly welcomed me to stay at their house. On my last day in Manila, she and Anthony purposely accompanied and sent me off at Manila International Airport. Not only that, she passed me a box of fruit salad before i entered the departure hall.


Lorna, Czhalina, Ching, Yvette and Vangie. (Left to right)

Czharina is a diligent and smart girl who has a very good foresight. She has chosen FuFu Mutual Trust Fund, the right fund to invest in. Even though it was still end of October, she already received her dividends. Besides Czhalina, FuFu also earned to know four pretty Miss Philippines in Singapore. Yes, this is a mutual trust fund. Both parties who has invested wisely finally get their paid off happily.


FuFu`s treat.

I didnt expect Czhalina would ask her friends out together. Otherwise i would have asked my friends to come out so we could make five couples on that day. Well, anyway, we had a great time. Okay, now please allow FuFu to bring all the pageants out and introduce to the audiences.

I love this picture the most.


We are posing again.

Photo shotting session is finally finished.

Now, it is the time to test the pageants` IQ and EQ. Games and question-answering session.



Who could get through this session?


Anyhow, afterall, all of them are Miss Philippines, at least to me.

随着科技的发展人类也渐渐更上一层楼
今时既宾妹已经吾同往日所认识既宾妹
从佣人身份变成电话接拨员到专业人士
駐于海外菲律宾人们的地位也被受肯定
由于英文程度高他们在各领域都占上风
菲律宾人是一种现稀有的非常爱国人种
他们把所赚到的钱汇回国振兴国家经济
这爱国精神完全跟在星岛工作的我一样
但每当我读到有关大马的新闻都很感叹
为什么咱们的国政还是那么腐败不振呢
看来你们得把手上神圣的那一票投给我
让我把这片土给打理得好成为个先进国
好啦少讲废话赶快地进入本文头条要点

在菲律宾所认识的朋友刚到星岛来工作
之前一直都没有时间和她见面聊聊聚聚
一知道自己有假就立刻和她连络再约会
曾受过她的恩惠这也是轮到我做出回报
我们约了下午去东海岸野餐聊天散散步
没想到她也带了四位美女出来和我见面
真的很荣欣可认识她们也广阔我人际圈
这天我们完全没有陌生感火花一触即发
文化交流杂谈聊天摆姿势拍照玩牌游戏
很充实的一天快乐的时间过得真的很快
晚上到他们朋友家吃了饭后就各自回家
保持通话联系我们的友谊会万岁万万岁
再去菲律宾时可以去他们各自的家乡玩
超有女人和朋友缘的我真的太幸福了吧

FuFu Trust Fund

Invest in people, not stocks.

Turn the pages of any newspaper, log on to any news portal, tune in to any news channel, and chances are you will be inundated with stories of the economic meltdown not only in the United States but all over the world. Stocks market have been battered and bruised due to the recent financial crisis. The Lehman bankruptcy has given investors a great lesson ever and where exactly should the boundaries of caveat emptor extend to next? Luckily i had no money to invest and all my hard earned money already spent on my world tour.


Ah Yan, FuFu and Tauwah.

Well, i am certainly not crystal ball-gazer but one thing i know for sure - My investment is not in stocks or bonds, but in the people around me. These include my family members, my relatives, my schoolmates, my friends, my colleagues, my blog-readers, my MSN buddies, my pen-pal - the list goes on. The circle of family and friends is by far, the most treasured possession i have. They are more important to me than any investment.

Unconsciously, many of us tend to take our lives for granted and before we know it, would have thrown a good 20 years or more into merely building our careers, owning properties and earning dividends from unit trust funds. Although you may think that you can gain much as a result of the investment, in actual fact, you might have lost as we dont know what will happen in the future stock market. Human beings are the very potential investment we must not ignore.


FuFu and Kooleelee.

Imagine when you are in trouble, undoubtedly, money could be the best solution to ease the problem but think twice, would you be able to be watering with unconditional concerns, love and supports from family and friends which are so far the best healing medication for any wound. Therefore, there is nothing better than depositing your time, effort, concern and love into someone`s life. Therein lies the real treasure. The lasting relationships created will pay you greater dividends than any stock you can possibly invest in. Hold these things close to your heart, and you will truly prosper.



Rarely to have a weekend off, i quickly contacted my old buddies who are now working in Singapore. We have known each other for 15 years or more, used to study, attend tuition classes, hang around together during our old school time. I realise that, since i went to Japan to further my studies, i lost many moments of connecting with my friends. Also i know that without keeping in touch occasionally, we could lose the valuable chance to relate and bond with our old friends. Fortunately, they showed up and we kept ourselves updated and sharing the news of our other friends.

Invest in food, not stocks.


A gourmet buffet~

Many of us may neglect the importance of the urban life. A good life should be come along with good quality and healthy food. Food itself indeed has a very important role to play. Apart of working, dating, sleeping, resting, we should spend time and pay attention on our three meals everyday. The food must contain a large amount of carbohydrates, iron, vitamins, protein, minerals and a little fat to keep our energies level up.


Salad~

I think a good number of people in Malaysia and Singapore are still not very aware of the significance of healthy eating. Some are ill-informed and some are perhaps not much motivated to make a change in their eating habits. Many of you may think that eating outside is easy, fast and cheap. I anyway doubt most of the hawker foods are being prepared and served is of a relatively high standard for our consumption. They are laden with salt, sugar, Ajinomoto and artery-clogging fats. If you try to cook yourself, get organic food if you can. But for those who living alone, away from family, you have no choice, just choose the right stall.


Appetizer~

So, the four of us decided to have our Hi-tea buffet at a relatively famous buffet restaurant, Pariss Restaurant located in Marina Square. We were satisfied with the food. Just, the dessert for the cakes and ice-cream were out of my expectation. Hanging around with FuFu is like killing few birds with one stone. Not only the great people, good conversation, nice food, also you could expect regular encounters grow into the lasting comradeships.


Main dish~

Ladies and gentlemen, after a long talk, finally now comes to the point of the topic. I am not good at investment especially in stocks but one thing for sure i can tell you, FuFu Trust Fund (FTF) is a zero-risk, reliable and performing unit trust that worth you to invest. FuFu Trust Fund is already a multi national fund which has a great number of offices all over the world. It is rapidly expanding and now FuFu decided to launch and then establish the brand in his home country and Singapore as well.


Second round~

So what are you waiting for? Stop hesitating, join FuFu Trust Fund today. Start earning your dividend now and enjoy the better life together with FuFu in the future. You certainly need a good companion (friend) to share everything with you when you feel lonely or getting old. Here, i suggest you to invest in this fund to ensure a lending ear or getting the chance to lean on FuFu`s shoulder when necessary in the future.


Dessert~

Term and Condition : Only those who understand what the meaning behind this post qualified to buy the unit trust fund. Tell me the amount of unit you wanna invest in, ok?

大致上这篇文章描述最近的世界经济风暴
很多的投资者都受到很大的打击情绪崩溃
金钱的投资我不会股市的玩意我一窍不通
但人际关系这一股我已经私地下的买大了
可以不穿内裤但万万不可以不对人下投资
在家靠父母在外靠朋友老后靠儿女和伴侣
我们千万别忽略了我们的老朋友和知己们
他们将会在我们人生中里占去一大部分的
在日本我经常招呼我的朋友到我家来用餐
我也和他们分享我所拥有的一齐喝吃玩乐
毕业后我也到他们的国家甚至家乡去游玩
之前所投资在他们身上的金钱不算是什么
但我得到的回报却是无价的旅游体验经历
譬如当地导游还有免费住宿和一日的三餐
值得一提的是他们的当地朋友们我都认识
一年以内我的人际圈子似渐渐的膨大起来
不怕日后再回到这个那个地方时没有朋友
感觉会好像仿佛去到那里都有人照顾呵护
朋友是利用的但也须知礼尚往来人之常情
记得付出时不可要求自己会得到什么回报
当觉得自己投错了人选时不要埋怨和伤心
不要为了一棵烂树而放弃整个青葱的森林
疑朋友不交交朋友不疑要对人充满信心哦
别交一时刻的朋友我们要放长线钓条大鱼
和朋友的关系稳固持续是我们得到的保障
千万别小看能从朋友身上的到的神奇力量
朋友可能是你的贵人或足以改变你的一生
人和股票不一样因为人我们可以一眼看出
人不可貌相但言语和行为足以辨认一个人
我不知道你们对我的印象如何我有机多分
让我告诉你们从文法中也可以看出一个人
看人看多了一看就知道他葫芦里卖什么药
要强调是股票不可靠朋友知己比较有保障
有钱时不妨请我吃大餐看戏喝咖啡玩游戏
因为我会给你们带来无限的惊喜和欢乐哦
