Hi peeps, today's entry is my recommendation to.... Billy Bombers~! So far, I only know the outlets at Bugis Junction, and Jurong Point. Here's what we had some time back...

"My milkshake is better than yours..."~! Know that song~? Hey, it's true man~! Their milkshake tasted like ice cream. How nice~! The serving was good too. *YuMmY* It's the best that I had some far. *2 Thumbs Up* We had the Cookies & Cream Milkshake.

It's so GOOD, JingLin Can't Resist The Thumbs Up

Next, it's their All Star Burger. The sight on it already made me hungry. It's the only burger dish that's without any chips or fries. Know why~? Because it's already filling enough... Anyway, their burgers & sandwiches were good. In fact, quite some time back I did had the Club Sandwich of theirs, and it's good~!

Just Look At The Eggs & Cheese . . .

Now the disappointing dish, the Seafood Platter. The taste was plain, and it's just no good. Nothing more to say liao...

The Disappointing Dish ! ! !

Hey hey, one more news... JingLin & I are going to Genting Highlands this coming Tuesday until Friday. It's a long waited wish came true. *sMiLe* Can't wait to eat all the goodies too~! Wahahaha~! This should be the last entry until I come back then. ^_^Tata~!

Hey hey, sorry for the long anticipated entry. Well, Weny & Winnie actually taught that it's my "marketing strategy"... *slaps forehead* Alamak~! I got so cheap-skate meh~? Anyway, it's not really something that's very fascinating, or ridiculous.. It all depends on how one individual sees it, some might think it's creative, some might just think that it's just pure lame. However, I would still like to keep the suspense till the end of the entry... So gals (The Coco Momos), if you're really interested then... Read On~!

Had any of you people visited any of those neo-print shops recently~? Man, they now have so many different kinda machines. From curtains which would rotate with different kinds of patterns, to sofas that you can sit on. Now, there're even stairs for you, if you're monkey enough to climb... Ya... That's so me... Anyway, Tina, JingLin & I went to the shop at Orchard Cineleisure to take some shots, enjoy...

Are You Monkey Enough~?

Hey, what's enjoyment if there's no music where you can sing to...? That's right, KTV sessions seems to be in for my side recently. Well, K-Box was my usual hangouts for KTV sessions, and I normally go for the K-Lunch, which I think it's worth it. Recently I visited those outlets at Clementi, Marina Square & Orchard Cineleisure. My khakis~? Ise & friend, Marcxs, Ivy, Nichalos & of course JingLin. Just wondering, did any of you ever noticed that different outlets have different charges, and also different varieties~? I wondered why...? My personal favourite outlet used to be in Orchard Cineleisure, but it changed when I went to Marina Square. It's much cozy there, and the system there is new. So there wouldn't be much faulty mics around. The only thing is that, the system was slightly different from the rest, but it's more cute with more animations if you get what I meant. *WiNkZ*

Now, life's short ladies and gentlemen. And everyday just looks & feels the same, don't you think so. If this kind of life drags on, we are so gonna bore ourselves to death. That's why we need to SPICE UP our life from time to time~! That's why there are entertainments around like clubs, cinemas, arcade shops, sports centre...etc. But still, we humans were never satisfied. With some many different activities around, yet we tend to complain that we have so little things we can do, especially in Singapore. Isn't that what we always hear people say, I believed that you said that too~! And I bet it's more that once you said that...

I'm no saint either...! I complained a lot about this boring life, never did I admit that it was my own laziness and lack of discipline. Blaming seems to be the easiest way out... So JingLin & I agreed with a theme. And I believed that's what everybody had been waiting. What the hell did we actually do~? Check this out...

Latest Fashion - The School Uniform

It's been a long time since we both wore our school uniforms, and I'm particularly feeling kinda old recently, so I needed to feel young again. Hey~! I'm not fetish or what ya...! I just wanna feel the carefree-ness & energy being young. The feeling of being alive, you know~? So all we did was to arrange to go out one day in our school uniforms, without any badges or nametags. Only to realise at the last minute that my uniform were thrown while I was moving house. Luckily, I still have my PE T-shirt. Or else, both of us would be really disappointed.

We both set off from my house one warm afternoon. My mother thought I was crazy and questioned me on my attire, just before we went out. I told her, I'm just going out for some fun... From my house, we took a cab to our 1st destination, Sim Lim Square. At 1st the cab driver didn't felt anything amiss, but somehow somewhere thru the journey, he started to look behind frequently with his rear mirror. He must be wondering, why such old students~! Wahaha~!

That's How It All Began . . .

Just when we were embarrassed with the whole thing, we thought of warming ourselves out before we met some people we know on the streets. Yet with our luck, the moment we got off the cab, we ran into Aki. *fainted* Guess what he said~?

In mandarin, he said, "Wa kao~! Ni meng zhou she mer~? Nan kan si le~! Kun kai lah~!". Meaning, "What you two doing~? So Ugly~! Get Lost~!". Well, it wasn't that mean in the Chinese version, but it's something like that. He kept laughing away & we were like -_-"

Nah... Don't worry, he wasn't that mean... I guessed he got a shock too~! Haha~! So when I was purchasing my stuff at Sim Lim Square, this cute shop assistant was shocked when I wanted to pay with my debit card. She actually called up my bank and did some kinda checks, and in the end she rejected my card~! Luckily she did not cut my card, if not I also dunno if I should be angry or laugh only...!

Err... I Look Kinda Stupid In This Pic ! ! !

After the adventure at Sim Lim Square, the next destination was Sun Tec City. Anyway, we walked there ya. And surprisingly, not much people look at us. I guessed we do look like students after all. Only a some group of people noticed the over-aged student, especially the real student. They must be wondering, "how many times did these two took their 'O' levels~?!!" At Sun Tec City, we had our lunch at Carl's Jr. It was our 2nd time eating there. The burgers that they were selling there were BIG, and expensive too. The price varies from S$5+ to S$7+, and their combo meals were like S$10+. But hey, it's worth the money. The taste was good, and the serving were huge. If you ever wanna try the food there, I would recommend the Beef Chili Fries, it's something similar to Taco Bell, only that it's better. Oh, did I mentioned that the burger tasted a bit like Burger King~? Well, they do...!

Notice The Size Of The Burger ~ ? ! !

.
Our next destination ended at Esplanade. We intended to take some pictures with the Merlion at first, but due to the extreme hot weather, we gave it a miss. By the way, did you ever noticed that it was kinda warm wearing uniforms~? The material was lousy huh~? No wonder those students in the bus/train always had this smell... Err... Where was I~? Esplanade...? Right~! We visited the National Library there, it was kinda cozy & classy. It had been a long time since I last went into a library. Know what~? They actually allow you to borrow DVDs there man~! How nice~? I remembered that when I was a little boy, I had to sit in the library to watch those films that were still in black & white screen~! Only those typical classic titles were available then, but now, the choices are plenty~!

Our final stop was at Funan IT Mall & Peninsular Plaza. We did a bit of window shopping there. Nothing much to say about this two places. We then head back home and call it a day. To us, it was a day well spent. We had enjoyed ourselves. We even agreed that we would have an event something like that once a year, stay tune people~!

**Special note to Coco Momos

**So did you laugh until pi, or you pi only~? ^_^Haha~!

Down with 2 days MC, yet I can't feel anything worst than a call from my supervisor... Imagine you're not feeling well, one of your supervisor call you up. Not to ask if you're feeling any better, instead he/she gave you some some "medication" which you hoped that you had better died off~!

That's not what really happened to me, yet somehow quite similiar. One of my supervisor indeed call me during my sick leave, not to gave me any sort of bad medication, but just to tell me the truth in working in a BIG organisation. Know what~? If you ever tell yourself to work hard so that people will recognise/appreciate you, SCREW THAT~! Know why...? I'm one fine example...

Been working in this outstanding organisation for coming 5 years, and it's about time that I get my well deserved promotion, if there's ever any. So even though after some many shits that had happened, I continued to motivate myself to work even harder, and smarter~! For the past many months, I was normally one of the first 2 persons to reach the office, only to set everything up for my fellow colleagues so that we could get to work soonest possible. On top of that, so many damn times had I volunteered myself to be called back during my off days. Now is one of those dark times where I ask myself over & over again, "what the hell for anyway~!"

See, by coming early... No supervisors normally come early, so he/she won't know~! And your fellow colleagues ain't gonna help you advertise anything of your good faith. Right~? Then, by volunteering yourself ain't the right thing to do too, or am I wrong? See... You're the one who always volunteered yourself, no doubt your immediate supervisor knows about it, but there are sure to be one or two bad colleagues of yours who would have sore eyes of you. Thus, you became the "common emeny", and things get especially worse when it's YOUR TIME now~! They will go all out to "stab" you~! Did I say anything wrong...? Or is it just me~?

So what did my supervisor tell me~? Well, he wasn't the one whom I'm pissed with... It's the MANAGEMENT~! Why~? Here's why~! Management staff don't work day in day out with operational staffs, so how much can they know about who are really the better ones in the company~? But, they are the ones who hold the fate on everyones' promotions~! AGONY, isn't it~? Yet of all the bad things, they can be naive~! Why again~? See, they'll always go around telling people how they'll be fair to everyone, and for those who had "sacrificed" their time for work will be taken into account for, so as to motivate everyone~! Know what, my balls to them~! So damn bloody fake~!

When came to know about my medical leaves, the management questioned one of my supervisor. "What~??! Stanley MC again~?!! He like every month also MC one huh~!!!". What utter rubbish~! It had been months since I last gotten my last MC. And to think that there are also occasions where I still turn up for work even though I'm sick~! Now I ask myself again, what for~! There are people in my team who gotten MC practically EVERY DAMN MONTH, but they were not mentioned~! Not that I'm sore eyes, but it's just so F__KING NOT FAIR isn't it~?

Moral of the story... It doesn't matter how much you had contributed to the company, and it also doesn't matter if you are able to hit all your targets. Important things is still, WORK SMART~! But that's not enough~! If you're really sick, do make an effort to check it that day, whether if you can be "afforted" to be sick or not~! STUPID, you say... But at least that's how the management feels~! For one person to be sick, he/she needs to choose the correct timing~!
