The Cat, The Pig & The Bean
Dread working today and had a hard time pulling myself out of bed and got ready for work.
As usual, my bro drove me to work and on the way, he mentioned that one of the Mr Bean soft toy is at the rear window area with the cats soft toys. When I looked, I saw the pig soft toy there too. So started this conversation:-
Me: Wat's the pig doing behind with the cats and the bean?
Goon: Nothing. Hey...say if the cat eats the pig, the pig eats the bean and the cat is afraid of the bean, and there is a long river. How do u get all 3 across the river when u can only bring at most 2 of them across at any 1 time?
Me: Slaughter the pig, cook and eat it. Bury the bean in the ground to grow a beanstalk. Once it grows, climb the beanstalk with the cat to get up in the sky and across the river. Can keep the cat as pet. But if its a lion, I will be running fast away from it.
Goon: SZB! Poison the bean and feed to the pig. Pig dies. Cook the pork and feed the cat. Cat dies. Bring dead cat across the river. Viola!
Me: Stupid boy, wat u wana do with a "dead" cat?
Goon: Nothing. Idea was just to bring them all across the river. Din mention wat stat they're in. Haha...
Me: Hmm, u have a point there...
Interesting????
Anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of U!!!

High Tea at Carlton Hotel
Went for High Tea at Cafe Vic - Carlton Hotel last Sunday, 16 Dec 2007.
I always love these makan sessions out with my bros when my parents are not around. Not tat i like to exclude my parents but they tend to grumble abt the cost of eating out and they will likely comment that the food is not nice and so on and so forth...rather a killjoy to my appetite when all I wan is to relax and enjoy the food.
Anyway, it was a oriental high tea buffet and the cafe even had a muffin making session for kids.
After the muffin making session, I was just using my camera phone and randomly snapping photos...and I actually got Charmaine to pose a serious of photos which my bro helped to make into a sort of "九连拍"...its really cute...see:
Seeing how unfair it is tat I din take pics for Ray, I decided to do up a "九连拍" for him using some of the old photos I have.

Fireworks - 火花游戏
Synopsis:-
"Shin Na Ra, a woman who is almost thirty welcomes her boyfriend of seven years back from his business trip. During their dinner, he tells her that he not only had an affair but fell in love with another woman. Thus their relationship is no more. To make herself feel better, Na Ra drank a large amount of alcohol and unknowingly dropped the ring her ex-boyfriend gave her into a random stranger’s cup. The stranger, In-Jae, drinks the shot without seeing the ring and both of them end up in the hospital.
To support herself, Na Ra pretends to be her 20 years old sister in order to work as a cosmetic clerk at Mi-Rae (the woman her ex-boyfriend fell in love with)’s shop but fate has brought In-Jae to the shop to. Thus began their surprising journey of love, where In-Jae is in love with Mi-Rae too." - extract from DramaWiki (with slight amendment)
I completed this show last night. Think wat attracted me to this show is the male lead...seen this guy acting in "加油金顺" previously and find him really charming. Splendid acting from him in this show as well.
RATING FOR SHOW: *** (out of 5 stars)
Love Truly - 真的真的喜欢你
This show is really really touching. It protrays an impossible love between 2 individuals and another love which is selfless and self sacrificing that it melts the coldest heart.
"Yeo Bong-Soon Eugene from a mountain village came to Seoul to live and look for her parents after her foster 'grandmother' passed away. She got a job as an assistant cook at the President's Blue House canteen and later in the Blue House kitchen. She falls for Jang Joon-Won Ryu Jin, the President's son, a highly intellectual doctor, who is married and his wife is suffering from dementia and has a five year old daughter. As Bong-Soon finds herself falling in love with Joon-Won, we also find a love triangle building up, when Bong-Ki, the President's family's bodyguard, starts to fall for the hillbilly Bong-Soon! The drama explores about how Bong-Ki played by Lee Min Ki got in touch with his own feelings and how Bong-Song's generosity makes these men fall for her." - extract from DramaWiki
When I started watching this show, I mistook the male lead and din know that actor Lee Min Ki is the lead....kept wondering why the story kept going to him and his annoying character (at the start he is an obnoxious and insensitive guy)....but as the story goes on, I started falling in love with his character and wat he does to protect the girls he loves. Couldnt keep myself from continuing this show despite the late nights I have to endure.

Yu Hee, the Witch
This show is currently showing on TV and in fact coming to the end (I think) but actually I finished watching it like almost a month plus ago. Was just too lazy to put up my review on blog.
The synopsis:-
"As the director of her father's advertising company, Ma Yoo Hee (Han Ga In) is known as a witch for her ruthless, no nonsense character. After a string of failed attempts to hire a housekeeper, she (literally) runs into Chae Moo Ryong (Jae Hee), ex-medical student turned aspiring chef. As a way to work off his debt for crashing into her car, he agrees to become her housekeeper and personal love affairs coach for one month. Gladly, he gives her a makeover that attracts both her old friend Johnny Kruger (Dennis Oh) and her first love Joon Ha (Kim Jeong Hoon). Despite having a girlfriend, Sung Mi (Jun Hye Bin), Moo Ryong eventually finds himself falling for Yoo Hee." - extract from DramaWiki
A rather light hearted and funny show which is definitely worth watching. I wont rate it as one of the best show I watched but I think its coz I dun feel much abt the male lead...in fact, I find Dennis much more attractive in the show. Sad when a supporting actor overshines the lead...hehe...

Weddings, weddings, weddings
As the title suggests, it seems tat I have been hearing a lot abt weddings lately. People ard me seems to be getting married 1-by-1, since October this year...maybe this few months are auspicious months.
Attended an afternoon wedding lunch - Grace's wedding actually...and got another wedding dinner next Sunday....like never ending wo....even the retailers are capitalizing on the "wedding" mood going ard.
"Faeries" exhibition I saw in Suntec last Sat. Such pretty bride models put up by Goldheart :)
*****************************************************************
Now to back track a bit on my entries...since I have not been updating often.
I went Xmas Shopping last Sat, 1 Dec 2007.
So glad I managed to drag Kim to join me. We started from Plaza Singapura and shopped all the way to Wisma Atria. Orchard Road is so crowded and the weather was pretty hot tat we gave up after we reach Takashimaya. By then, I only got 2 presents. Think I old liao, worn out pretty fast and I was glad to sit down at Starbucks and have a drink and rest.
After a long long rest, we set off for Suntec (which is still my favourite hangout) where I managed to locate a couple more xmas gifts ^^ ....such a fruitful shopping trip.
Kris joined us for dinner at Swiss Culture. The food there is great lah. Among all the restaurants on the top floor of Towers 1 and 2, Swiss Culture is fully seated, losing only to the Jap buffet restaurant at the corner. Look at the yummy food below....
Thank U, Kim and Kris for helping me with my Xmas shopping!

I am falling in love with Clarke Quay at night lah!
Met Gwen, Leo and my bro at Clarke Quay last Fri, 30 Nov 2007.
I told them to meet at this spot:
"The Vertical Bungee Jump at Clarke Quay"
Do u know the spot? Very difficult to find meh? If ask u to meet me at the spot, would u know how to get there from Clarke Quay MRT?
Happened tat the 2 "bo-bos" (Gwen and Leo) din know how to....Zzzzzz......end up have to all meet in the MRT instead.
We had dinner at the Lotus Grill Restaurant at Clarke Quay. They have indoor seating plus some seats in the boats! Rather interesting to dine in a boat...feeling the slight breeze and the bit of rocking...keke...they serve oriental food...quite good but a bit expensive. $140+ for 4 persons...wat do u think?
Then we had a stroll along Clarke Quay and I took some pics with my not so good resolution handphone...hehe....training to be a good blogger...but then, made me look like a tourist there.
:P
We saw a gorgeous Xmas Tree at Central @ !
And sat down at O'Briens for a drink at chat. Think Leo and my bro are the smart ones...their drinks look rather normal....
while Gwen's and mine look like "puke"/"vomit" T_T. Lucky it they taste ok. LOL!
It was a rather relaxing and fun dinner. Must try to get out more I guess.

24 Nov 2007
Its been almost a year since me and my SIM schoolmates had a gathering. With everyone working and some still doing their part-time studies, its no wonder tat we hardly have time to spare.
So it came as no surprise that the final turnout was only 7 of us. Our host did a splendid job with the array of food we had. Yummy! (yes, me the lousy blogger forgot to take pics..haiz...)
After dinner, we sat in front of the TV and enjoyed some wine, chatting, tv...and karaoke session. It was pretty fun tat time flew...before we noticed, it was late and we decided to stay over. Our host very good lah...got those sofas which can convert into relaxing chairs sort. Very comfy for short naps. But I din sleep a wink!

Birthday Duo - 18 Nov 2007
We had a simple birthday celebration at home for my eldest bro and cousin. Of coz it still pretty much felt like Ray's and Charmaine's birthdays instead.
Some pics to show:
******************************************************************
Another Chocolate Fondue session on 17 Nov 2007 at Kim's place with Kris and Mabel.
This time we had more to dip in the chocolate: (anti clockwise - mini marshmallow, bananas, strawberries, canned pineapples, canned cocktail)
"Yummy"
