Trainers

I've been looking for a pair of running shoes for a while. Probably about 3 weeks or so. Going around malls and sports shops, trying on shoes; shrugging and leaving. I was starting to feel a lil frustrated with myself for being such a pick.

With the GSS just started last week, I was pretty determined...if i were to get any shoes...i might as well get it during this period. And i did went to a couple of more shops today...generally looking at my preferred brand...but still nothing.

Till i hit this 'cheapy looking store', a quote courtesy from M; thats where i found my trainers. Priced at $79.90. What more can one ask for...though it's not what i would usually buy...but according to M and a fellow 'runner' friend of mine; they make really good running shoes. So i guess it's no harm trying...and it feels rather comfy too.



Ohhh...i guess i should also mentioned that we hit the steamboat buffet at Suntec right after getting those trainers. I really have to put those shoes into good use real soon. Tonight...i just have to play one more night of...'hugging the tummy to sleep' >.<

Gone Berserk

It's been a while since i've done anything like this. Usually we all live in a world which we would hold on tight to; govern by our own disciplines and principles which we would hold dearly as life itself...but at times, i think some of us might let loose. Throwing away all those in-checks and do what you would not do normally and try blend in with the people around you and sometimes...it can be quite refreshing...

I was planning for a rather quiet evening. I managed to get off my training class at 5. Got home at 5:30pm. Thought i'd skip dinner and enjoy a quiet night in. But i guess i've been laying low for a while now, and when presented with a chance to do the irregular...i would jump at it immediately. The thought of having a skewer of cheese toufu at the Food Fest wasn't that bad. Someone brought it up...it was tempting...besides its only a once-a-year event. Since i've been on 'break mode' the whole of this week...i suppose i can do with leaving the comfort of my small room twice in a day.

When i got to Expo, the crowd was rather bearable...i was expecting alot more people but i guess due to the rain and it's a working day after all...not alot would be coming out for the final day of the event. I followed the TWO around for a while, they would stop at almost every stall, pushing in to grab toothpicks or small lil cups and greedily down them as if they have been starved for a long while. I was able to keep my cool for a while, after that...the TWO became THREE.

We went from stalls to stalls grabbing lil bits of food stuff and drinks; downing them and move on to the next. I was doing pretty good till i hit Ramli Burger. Then i lost it. The TWO surpases me from there. Making their rounds at the fish balls and chicken balls stall...they were unstoppable. It was about closing time, we managed to grab some cheap offers before we call it. That was probably because we were carrying so much; no just in the belly but in the hands too. I managed to grab some stuff myself. Some Pokkas for 1 dollar each and some VICOs for my lazy weekend mornings. Four and a half for a dozen...what a deal!!! I guess it could last me for a while.

Now i'm just feeling rather thirsty and sleepy...guess i'll grab a Pokka and hug my tummy to sleep.

The Occasional Coincidence

I woke up at 10 this morning. Feeling all tired from a late night before.

My mood for WoW seems to have been rekindled. This game is pretty addictive. Everytime i got bored and tried to quit. I end up playing even more than before. It's getting kinda scary :s. The first thing that i thought of when i got up is that i gotta run more Heroic. Get more Badges for the new gears that i aim to get on my healing druid. And from 10:30 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon, i did not even get up from my seat. Not even a single meal on midday. Strange that i dont feel hungry at all.

When the connection started to screw up, thats when i got all agitated and frustrated and decided to head out to meet some friends; which i'm suppose to meet for lunch but instead...well, its for...dinner. We went to MOF again. Usually when i get there, i would definitely order my favourite balls. Coincidentaly, today's just the day for the occasion. Precisely one month before the coming of Spring. Though it is quite unlike the usual ones that i have back home, i guess that would do for now...till i get home...

Leaving / Living for life

Went to this new ramen spot last nite, it was one of the better ramen that i've tasted so far. Ajisen is not really in its class to even begin any comparison with :P

Was recommended to try by a friend for my coming big day. It was advertised here. Then i did a little googling and found this. Like the author claims, the char siew is a must try...though a bit fatty (thats what all good char siew should be anyway) but indeed, it does sort-of...melt in your mouth. The ramen was something like wanton mee, fine and soft. Overall the dinner was a good recommend.

Had Toni Romas the night before and more eating to come on saturday and sunday. I hope i dont put on too much weight to have to shed some lead on my trip.

Its a Friday today. I'm off for my holiday on Monday. Not much in the mood to do anything. Not even blogging...just trying to put some words here before i go off. Hopefully this time i would be able to do better than the last. My seiko will be finally put to good use and also...serve its purpose :)

Not quite the Vienna

The last time I went for a buffet was probably the disasterous Jagoya. And that was a few months back.

Last weekend I was at this place named Vienna- didnt really expect much this round as I have been told that its cheap and the food is just 'not bad'. It turned out-I was, and still am...pretty much 'alrite' by this place. Perhaps its because my expectations are so much lower this round, that is why its easy. Well, at least...its a dozen times better than the crappy and not to mention; expensive Jagoya. I guess...my disappointment with Jagoya is still burning strong till now.

Anyway, this place is not bad...for SGD42 per pax inclusive of tax and the variety that they have...i think its considered pretty good. Though, I suspect that most of their stuff are really just 'for the show'. E.g. ABALONE fried rice, CRAB MEAT Meehoon - these are just fanciful labels. Nevertheless, the taste wasn't that bad. A place ideal for parents or aunties/uncles who like such HIGH-profiled food. For me, its an evening well spent.

Buddha Jumping Over the Wall , Oat Prawn, Inari and Salmon.
Grilled Buttered Prawn, Lobster Salad, Chicken Satay and Garlic Sauce Scallop.
Teppanyaki Chicken - not as good as it looks.
Crab Meat Meehoon, Abalone Fried Rice and Peking Duck Wrap.

Shark Fins' Soup, Grilled Buttered Crayfish.

Chocolate Cake and Fondue - Strawberries and Grape.
