Ayam Penyet

So much musing for the famous Ayam Penyet. Let me show you the real thing =)

Getting bored while waiting for the food to be served. What else but play games.

There isn’t anything special about the rice but just wanna show how good the resolution of my camera is. You can practically count the grains. Haha

Gado-gado. A must-try side dish to be shared among a party of 3 =)

Ta-dah! Ayam penyet literally means smashed chicken. The chili is really awesome! A definite must try when you are in town and looking around for cheap yet yummy food. =)

Forgot what this is called. But in short, it’s a super cool dessert to end such a sumptuous meal.

Located at Lucky Plaza. =) Go try folks! =)

From A Guy’s Point Of View

This is really so hilarious. Whichever guy that wrote this, you rock man. Ladies, be in for a good laugh! =)

We don’t care if you talk to other guys.
We don’t care if you’re friends with other guys.
But when you’re sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room

and you jump up and tackle him without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off.
It doesn’t help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we’re still there.

We don’t care if a guy calls you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned.

Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can’t wait till he morning.

Also, when we tell you you’re pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.
Don’t tell us we’re wrong.We’ll stop trying to convince you.

The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.

Yeah, you can quote me.

Don’t be mad when we hold the door open.

Take Advantage of the mood i’m in.

LET US PAY FOR YOU! DON’T ‘FEEL BAD’
We enjoy doing it.
It’s expected.
Smile and say ‘thank you.’

Kiss us when no one’s watching.
If you kiss us when you know somebody’s looking, we’ll be more impressed.

You don’t have to get dressed up for us.
If we’re going out with you in the first place, you don’t have to feel the

need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.
We like you for WHO you are and not WHAT you are.
Honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she’s just in her pj’s.
Or my t-shirt and boxers, not all dolled up.

Don’t take everything we say seriously.
Sarcasm is a beautiful thing.
See the beauty in it.
Don’t get angry easily.

Stop using magazines/media as your bible.
Don’t talk about how hott Morris Chesnutt, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us.
It’s boring, and we don’t care.
You have girlfriends for that.

Whatever happened to the word ‘handsome’/'beautiful’.
I’d be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with ‘Hey handsome!’ instead of ‘Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy’ or whatever else you can think of.
On the other hand im not sayin i wouldn’t like it either.

Girls: I cannot stress this enough:

IF YOU AREN’T BEING TREATED RIGHT BY A GUY,

DON’T WAIT FOR HIM TO CHANGE.

DITCH HIS SORRY DISGRACE-TO-THE-MALE-POPULATION ASS,

AND FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL TREAT YOU WITH UTTER RESPECT
Someone who will honor your morals.
Someone who will make you smile when you’re at your lowest.
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.
Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.
Someone who will stop what they’re doing just to look you in the eyes….

and say ‘i love you’ ………. AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT!

*****Give the nice guys a chance*****

Lessons From Office

A misconception right from the start.

I was expecting to cruise through my vacation by working at this company that I worked in last vacation. It was pretty slack last year and I expect nothing less this year. Man, I don’t know what I was in for. This year, they are organising a mega-event and that goes without saying there ain’t anymore of those slacking days. Not just that, the office dynamic was so different from last year. It became transparent to me that in every office there is bound to be office politics, like it or not.

“If you can’t beat them, join them. If you join them, make sure you excel.”

Some seemingly wise words from a colleague who pass on her survival tips in office. Someone else whom I hold in high regards told me this, also in the same week, “Just do your shit. You don’t hafta play their game.”

It’s not hard to lose yourself in this corporate jungle. What’s more interesting and perhaps startling is that everyone becomes a master in Tai-ji when it comes to work. To be blatantly honest, I am utterly disgusted at their work ethics. I may be a greenhorn in some sense, but to say the least, I try my very best at whatever work that was allocated to me. To you who only talk, is always concerned about what to eat and munch non-stop in office and suck up to the boss, shut the hell up!!!

Beisdes that, I also hafta talk to tonnes of clients over the phone, some of which are really rude! It’s as though they are barbarians. Sorry to make them sound crude but that was their attitude. I don’t owe them a living and neither do I came up those rules and regulation, so just get a life cos I am just trying to get my job done, you faggot.

I guess another source of frustration was from this colleague whom I knew. I hate people being over calculative and go to the extreme with those details. While he may comment that others are lazy, “HELLO, EXCUSE ME, LIKE YOU ARE NOT!” So much for playing PSP, reading comics online, watching youtube and chatting online while I slogged my ass off. Mind you, this is an office! You annoyed me the most when the damned phone kept ringing and I was busy, while you can be watching youtube and refused to pick it up. Wow your job is so sacred man! Thanks for even having the cheeks to ask me when I will be done with my work so I can help you with yours. Don’t you get it, you can use this time to work yet you chose to slack and wants to “wait” for me to help you???? Are you kinda nuts? Enough is enough. Don’t blame me for falling out with you, you simply ask for it.

Nonetheless, I will not stoop myself to your level and join you in the Who Is The Slackest game. I believe its Daddy God’s intention for me to soar on wings like eagles. For that, I will not shortchange myself and opt for a less than best option. I find it so satisfying when my efforts pay off and I know the event will be a great success.

For now, macaroons with my fav colleague who sat right beside me and as we continue to slog for the event, I believe God’s hands of blessings and favour will be upon us. =)

Curry Favor!

I felt so revived with my new camera! More yummy food and pictures. After a hard day’s work, time to pamper myself to a good dinner. For ambience, I will give it a 8.5/10 and food 9/10. yuummmmmm…

Salad or miso for your starters?

Mushroom w cheese. Unimaginably delicious!

Don’t be deceived by its ordinary appearance. It gives you a sensational bursting satisfaction!

Pour the curry-in-the-Aladdin-lamp over the Pork w melted cheese Katsu…

Super yummy can!!

Awww…

The wall deco which I really like

Just eat. The food’s too good to care about image.

To end it off, peach mochi. My sweet delight.

Curry Favor is now exalted to one of my most preferred restaurant. Not only is the food good, the ambience and service are also excellent. Good place to dine folks! You know what to do! *winks*

New Camera!

It’s a frigging Monday again. Was so busy that I didn’t have time to lament it being Monday. haha pardon me, I just love to whine. Actually, I love to work. I am rejoicing over the sudden outburst of workload which kinda makes me feel ‘useful’. Apart from all the rejoicing, I cringed at the sound of phone rings.

“Bethia, your call, Line 1.”

All so familiar, one after another. Non-stop.

Goodness, if there is one thing I fear, I fear talking now. Too much of it makes me feel like just shutting the world up. Ain’t helping when you have a bunch of people who are just having their own “private” yakkings while others slog like cows. In fact, I am still very disturbed about something I found out lately. Money brings out the ugly side in some of us. How true. I didn’t notice this aspect of a person till lately and to my disappointment once again, I lost hope. Surprisingly, his actions left me shaking my head in exasperation. Some things are better left unsaid.

Alright, something to be happy about, I finally bought my camera!!! Yayness!!! haha not from the PC show cos they are selling it more ex than this place I bought. It’s such a good buy! Oh wells, from now on, you can view more real life action! So excited about that!!!

Next up, lunch with Ziwan and Hendrick tmr. haha I can’t wait to get even with that girl. Thanks for scaring me that fateful day. Lotsa phototaking eh.. That should keep me happy for the time being. Till then, let’s clock in as much sleep as possible for the challenges ahead!!! =)

The moon and the barely visible stars

Incredible breakfast which makes my morning beautiful

 

Salmon bf!!

Shut Up, Biarch!

I am starting to love the chat viewer function that Windows Live Messenger has. Was just reading through the long train of conversation I had with this friend that I am no longer talking to (and perhaps never will be cos i don’t see how our paths will ever meet again), boy, it brings back good memories. Those sweet and lovely times which were so short-lived and ended as absurdly as it began. Many a times, we are bad at memory and such tools help us not to make the same mistake again. It’s as though someone pressed the Refresh button and brought the lesson back to memory. Checked. No more nonsense it shall be.

A totally irrelevant stuff. “Someone” has been getting on my nerves lately. Shan’t mention name lest I be skinned. Doesn’t help when I have no authority or liberation to do something it without getting a negative sanction in return. Thanks man, that’s like a GREAT favour. Someone pleeeesssssseeeeeeeeeee shut the BIARCH up!!!!!!!!!!

The pictures are totally irrelevant, just for your eye pleasure. See I’m getting all so incoherent all because of a BIARCH who bitches all day long. Ciao.

Green Pastures. Right Here. Right Now.

It’s only the second day of work and my feet are all sore and full of blisters from the front to the back, left to right. That’s the price to pay for that additional height and and perhaps improved posture? Work has been kinda… kinda… how should i phrase it… hmm better with more polite people in this world. Shan’t go into the lengthy details of what that entails, but I would totally embrace Singapore’s courtesy campaign.

Waking up is still a challenge for me every morning. Or should I say I would half-psycho and half-scare myself outta bed. All so that I will not be late for work. Here I am whining about having to work and on the other hand, some friends are complaining they haven’t found a vacation job. So it’s easy for me to conclude that the pasture is always greener on the other side. Ha! That’s life. Learning to live each day to the fullest. =)

Wheeee thanks for the ride home. It’s such a “cool” ride =) yeah you, i know you are secretly reading. haha don’t think i dunno. Yup thank you =) Really appreciate it.

Strangely, I always end up with more activities than I bargain for. Isn’t it funny how school holidays meant endless meetings, work and back-to-back appointments. Arrrggghhhhh… That is why I am starting to appreciate home and my mom’s cooking. =) hmm I just wanna stay home and rot… *sulks*

Alrighty enough of my whining.. Here are some stuff I find interesting. Enjoy and God bless =)

Just then, Maggi Mee walked around the corner. Immediately, the Paos started to beat him up.

So Maggi Mee wanted to revenge for he was really innocent. He gathered his fellow mee brothers and they challenge Char Siew Pao to a fight. Since Char Siew Pao was severly out numbered… he was whacked till very very jialat with his infills coming out… begging to the Mee family to stop! Maggi Mee says:” Don’t pretend lah.. You think you pretend to vomit blood, we will stop meh??”

Char Siew Pao who was then badly beaten went back to tell all the paus family;

“WHAT DID I DO? I don’t even know you all”???.
