Advertisements that shoot.

On my way to meet RC for a movie, I saw an advert on the ground of Tampines MRT platform that seemed to be waging war. And I was kinda amused.

This is the Tampines Mall side of the platform, towards Pasir Ris.

It says 'Move to where the grass is greener.'


This is the Tampines 1 side of the platform, towards Joo Koon.

It says 'L1fe is greener at our side.'


Isn't that like war?

I secretly hope that Tampines Mall & Century Square can come up with advertisements to shoot Tampines 1, I (and many other Tampines residents) will be really entertained.

~~~~~

RC and I after the movie. We watched Angels & Demons, damn good yet a bit too bloody for me.


If you're thinking we wore the same colours you're wrong! It's just the lighting la.

But that would be cute right.

HAHA.

Food porn.

Heh. I'm so glad I finally got to cook after many weeks. This was on the 30th.

Spaghetti Bolognese.

It started with my brother's SMS in the morning if I wanted breakfast. I called him and he said he was at the pasta isle of the supermarket. Then he asked if I was gonna have lunch at home. I said yes. He said he'll buy the pasta.

And I cook.

Like. Thanks.

He did buy the pasta but of course I needed ingredients so I went down myself anyway.

Finally I got myself a bottle of olive oil. 1 litre at around SGD 15. The 500ml one was nearly ten bucks, so I crossed my fingers and bought the 1 litre one, hoping that that won't be too much.


OK I admit that I got to know this brand via Little Nyonya.

Anyway, here goes.

Heat the olive oil.


Then the carrots and onions. Cook cook cook.

When they're about done add in the minced meat. I was supposed to use beef but I got pork instead.


Cook cook cook. Until the meat is cooked.

Spices. I didn't have any fresh ones.

Maybe I should start planting.


Tomato paste.


Red wine. Yummmmmmmy.


Canned whole tomatoes.


In.


And some other things which I didn't take photos of.

Oh there was milk and Worcestershire too.


Done. Looks a little like curry cos of the milk. Haha.

And this is how it looks like after simmering for an hour.


*drools*

Okay la, I'm the only one drooling over here.

The end-product, topped with Parmesan cheese.


It was not bad at all! Here's the recipe.

Hello!

Anyone still around?

I'm done with Day 2.

Finally.

Sorry la, I had other things to distract me and I can't help it =Þ

Spoof.

Many of us know this picture.

If you don't know, the four men crossing the road are members of the Beatles.

And they've been spoofed.

Look at this tee.


SOOOO cute right. (IMO)

Thanks to RC for getting it for me =D

Ah.

Finally done with Day 1 of blogging.

HILARIOUS

This is cracking me up. Watch it!!

IS BACK!

Touched my heart and untouched it.

This blog will be abandoned...

...for two weeks.

Fifteen days to be exact. Till the 26th.

So if you want some read, you can come here.

But I can't guarantee there'll be any updates.

I'm off to touch my heart, in 9 hours.

BYE!

Crazy.

You have to read this.

I don't know why any kind of government body would encourage its people to smoke more, in order to help the economy.

CRAZY.

Then when the people get lung cancer then the doctors have business too.

CRAZY.

They're plain mad. Though the edict has been removed, it's ridiculous to even execute it in the first place.

Oh I must announce.

My exams are over~!

And this might marks the end of my student life.

Kinda =S but still hasn't sunk in totally.

I feel awfully weird looking for a permanent job, not a temp job any more.

And I'm kinda fed up over the interviews, because I may be sort of obliged to do a job that I don't want to do, but I have to because of the economic downturn.

Sigh. I don't really want to be in the office nor sit behind a desk.

But whatever, put all the pending problems behind me and let's think of what's gonna happen over the next two weeks.

3 days and 15 hours left!

I AM BORED.

Do I need to repeat?

I AM BORED.

I don't mind repeating again, you know.

I AM BORED.

One more?

I AM BORED.

You want to read some more?

I AM BORED.

No more? Oh don't stand on ceremony.

I AM BORED.

Let me say it once more, don't do this to me.

I AM BORED.

Thank you very much.

I AM BORED.

Okay, that was entertaining. To me at least. Because.

I AM BORED.

Not so pro after all.

Phew. That saves a lot of trouble.

Every time I dream about something, it'll never come true.

That's why I hate to dream about good stuff.

Guess I have to be mentally prepared now.

This is so wrong.

I haven't even bought it.

In fact, it isn't even released in the market yet.

So why am I so crazy about it?

I come back home and yearn that I get to play.

This is addiction.

A really bad one.

Coincidence.

Sometimes the funniest things happen and you wonder why. For instance, this afternoon when I logged into Facebook, I saw this:


Never mind that they were both of the same surname. I was thinking, the use of the same vocabulary in consecutive posts are quite okay. And the both of them doesn't know each other.

Then when I came back I saw this:


Aren't things getting a little bit too coincidental.

Stop slacking, get down to wok work!

New gadget

What, you think I'm talking about a new phone or a new mini laptop or sth?

Nah, I can only dream.

Check out the new gadget I added on top of the posts, click that, go to situation updates, and click the latest one. That'll tell you in which countries that exist confirmed cases of H1N1, and how many.

Summer is here and we all want to travel. As we're at it, travel safely and responsibly!

Pro.

Muffins and cupcakes.

I was asked what's the difference between muffins and cupcakes some time back.

All I could answer is, muffins are bread and cupcakes are cakes. Duh, if not cupbread meh.

I think the meaning would be more explicit if we know muffins by calling them cupbread. Because the word 'muffin' doesn't tell you much unless you know what it means.

But if you really think about it, cakes and breads are kind of similar. (we can have sweet breads too ma, not only savoury)

And I finally saw some solution to it. You all should know too.

Read the link!
