What I learnt During The First Aid Course

Durin the Standard First Aid course, our instructor has imparted these 2 important knowledge which I think can be applied when there's emergency. Therefore, I decided to write it in my blog to remind myself.

What is the purpose of having numbers on all lamposts islandwide?

It is meant for paramedics' easy identification to arrive swiftly on where the accident occured. Simply inform them the name of district followed by the numbers.

This may not be seen in S'pore. But according to my instructor, using Kotex as an aid in controlling bleeding is quite a common site in the West. Kotex is used as it's not only clean and most importantly able to prevent blood contact either with the rescuer or victim.

Harry's Restaurant At Dempsey Hill

Yesterday night, I got togther with some of my good old pals and chill out at Harry's Restaurant(Dempsey Hill). The place was pretty relax and it was quite an excellent spot for chit chatting. Cost of the meal was affordable too. I ordered fish chip meal which was only about $14 ++. Overall, it was great.

PS: Cheers to you my bros

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.

Lastly, I would like to thank my pal, Lincoln for giving me this complimentary ticket. You rock bro!
