Ending 2008 In Cuba Libre

It was once again our company event of the year and this time round, we celebrated at Cuba Libre, which is locate at Clarke Quay.(Known for it's Cuba bar cum restaurant which served latin stuff) First, I had a Classic Mojito before feasting myself with the buffet. My favourite dish was Tortilla as it was spicy and taste just like pizza. The only thing that I regretted for not trying was their cigars.

Nice experience for me to end the year 2008.

Mocca Full Throttle Carnival

The same old stuff ..car drifts, go kart, stunt bikes, show girls...it was kinda bored. Those cars that were exhibited were common on the streets. I think this carnival was targeted for people who would like to purchase or modify their vehicles with gadgets.

Trip To Bottle Tree Village

1st Dec- During the evening, my family and I went for dinner at Bottle Tree Village along Sembawang area. As this place was pretty remote, so a form of transportation would be preferred in order to drive along the small stretch of road. The area was quite cosy with the open sea facing opposite from our dinner table.

Below are the dishes that our family ordered.

Veg $10
Soup $10
Longevity noodle $20
1 Pork $12
1 Crab $46
10X Buns $5
1 Sauteed prawn $25
1 Garaupa $48
3 X Plain rice $4
2 X Side dish $3
8 X Towels $ 2.40
7 Teawater $7
1 X Barley water $1.5

Food wasn't really tasty. But if you would like to escape from the busy and noisy city, then this restaurant can be taken into one of your considerations.


This is where we choose our garaupa

Chill Out At One Rochester

One Rochester was quite an experience for me. Firstly, I didn't know there's this area existed in Singapore. Also, it's quite a different concept compare to Dempsey(That was 3 years back, not sure if there's any changes to it ). The ambience was fine, but felt disappointed as the Balcony room was not opened to the public. I think my friends weren't really enjoyed as much as I do.

Also to note, the waiting time on the ordered dishes were too long. We waited about 45 mins before our meals were served.

Wakeboarding Experience At Punggol

Last Saturday, my friends and I went for wakeboarding at Punggol Marina Country Club. We picked up just after 2 tries, probably due to some skateboarding experience during our secondary school days. Punggol Marina was a preferred choice because of the low charges ( 1hr - $100..suitable between 3 to 5 persons for a small boat ), whereas Kallang is charging 1hr-$120. East Coast was our last choice - We wouldn't want anyone to see how we wakeboard, feels kind of awkward.

Below are some video shots taken.

Location : Punggol Sea Sport Accessories Pte Ltd
Booking Hotline : 6386 3891
Website : http://www.pssa.com.sg/

There is a free shuttle service available near Punggol Mrt Station (Taxi stand). It arrives
at every 1 hour interval. Remember to check with the reception on the shuttle service available after booking.

One word to describe about wakeboarding and that is SHIOK!

Do You Believe In Miracle ?

I guess it's up to each and individual whether to believe in miracle existence. Today, was my driving test in Ubi. My mum, a firm believer in God kept reminding me to pray before the test. Since it wasn't smooth sailing for me in my first attempt, I heed her advise.

Some people say 80% comes from hardwork whereas the rest from luck. It goes the same for driving. If one has the skill but met with a tough instructor, chances of passing might be of a problem. You can call it coincidence or miracle, my prayer was heard. My tester was a MR NICE GUY....

Passion Entrepreneur

Today, I met this lady who is so passionate about caring for cats that she gave up her high pay job and setup her own pet business. As this industry is getting popular in Singapore, many entrepreneurs care only about making high profit margins either by hiring staffs with little experience or charging high rates on pets' lodging. This became a problem to me as I had wanted to find a suitable yet affordable home for this abandon cat to stay. Fortunately, someone refer this owner to us that not only provide cheap rates and most importantly she hires staffs that are real passionate towards cats.

It's very hard to find these kind of people as everyone is living in the "real world" where money and status become the real pursuit of mankind. But I'm glad that there are still generous and kind hearted souls out there who make sacrifices and make the world a "warmth" place to live in.

Interesting Marketing Campaign Against Gambling

I took this picture at one of the hawker stalls near my home. It's an interesting way to advise the public about the consequences if one is addicted to gambling.
