Joke to share (our 100th post)

I was walking home last night when I noticed an old drunk staggering along the road.
He passed a woman who was walking a young child.
"Lady", said the drunk, "that's the ugliest kid I've ever seen. Damn, that is one ugly child!."

As the drunk wandered off, the lady burst into tears. Just then, a mailman came to her rescue. "What's the matter, madam?" he asked.
"I've just been horribly insulted" she sobbed.
"There there," said the mailman, reaching into his pocket.
"Dry your eyes with this tissue, and here's a banana for the chimp"

环岛吃吃吃

Here's the overdue post of our 8th month celebrations.

The plan for the evening went like this.

Planned route for the evening (in order):
1. Old Airport Road
2. Bedok 85
3. Kaki Bukit 511
4. Changi Village
5. Geylang
6. Boon Lay Nasi Lemak (since we have to fetch the westies home too)

Here's how the evening went:

6.30pm: Theresa calls Yongxiang to check if he's on the way home to get the car. Yongxiang answers the phone and says "yes, i'm on my way home and i'll reach office bout 7.15pm thereabout." (altho we didn't know whether "on the way" meant "i just left my client's place")

7pm: Theresa calls Yongxiang again to see if he has gotten the car and left home. No answer.

7.15pm: Theresa calls Yongxiang once again to see if he has gotten the car and left home. No answer again.

7.30pm: The rest in office calls Yongxiang to find out where he is. No answer.

7.45pm: Yongxiang calls. Says he'll be reaching in 5 to 10 min.

7.50pm: Everyone gathers at the lobby and waits for the 2nd car to arrive.

8pm: 2nd car arrives and 11 hungry pple head off to the first stop of the night - Old Airport Road. Wheeee....

Due to the massive jam, we reached our first stop only at 8.45pm :( We were almost going to die of hunger... Luckily the not-too-bad food made up for it.

Food stop #1 - Old Airport Road


We reached so late that Daniel, who said will only be joining us "halfway", was actually able to join us from the start of the food trip. Woweee.....

Anyways, food was not too bad... esp the shrimp chee cheong fun. Food we ate here: wan ton mee, char kway teow, chee cheong fun and suan mei sugarcane drink.

Food stop #2 - Bedok 85

Yummmmmy fooood. We had sambal stingray, juicy chicken wings, orh lua and ah balling tang yuan of assorted flavours (peanut, sesame, red bean, yam and green tea). The most popular flavour: peanut, followed by sesame. We didn't order the bak chor mee cos reliable sources claimed that the one at 511 was better. And so, we headed off to 511 specifically to try their bak chor mee.

Food stop #3 - Kaki Bukit 511

This place is famous not only for their bak chor mee, but also their western food and pau (yum!) By this time, some were pretty full and so we decided to take a short break before our next food stop. And here's what happened.

Detour - Sea Sports Centre (just outside NSRCC)

Miscommunication cost us quite a couple of minutes. This was us waiting by the road for the 3rd car... so that we could stop them if we spotted them along the way.

Finally..... everyone gathered together.


After "detouring" for more than half an hour, we continued with our plan and headed back to Changi Village.


Food stop #4 - Changi Village


Unsuccessful. All the famous stalls were closed by the time we reached :(

Food stop #5 - Geylang


You can always count on Geylang to be open at the wee hours of the morning. We headed straight for the tau huay stall.

After tau huay, we had beef hor fun at the stall next to it... altho by this time, they still had the beef but no hor fun :S Ended up eating bee hoon and crispy noodles instead. Sorry no pics of the dishes... we were all too busy eating to remember. Haha..

Anyways, we didn't continue with the remaining part of the plan cos it was already 2am and everyone was beginning to zone out.... Yep, so that sums up our very first huan dao chi chi chi. Think there'll be more to come.


Who says food in Singapore is boring?

The Art of Game Playing in Office

Tip 1:

Big NO NO -

Instead, do this -
Or this: -

Tip 2:

For the more experienced players, you can try holding a piece of working paper over your screen. Novices please do not try this as it requires skill to hold the paper at just the right angle.

As a bonus, Here are some demo pics:

Leave enough space on the left of your screen. From the right, you will look like this:

From the left, there will be a slight hint of you playing game. But if you follow Tip 1, the risk of being uncovered will be significantly lowered.
Here's the view from your left:

Others will need to have an inbuilt zoom function in their eyes to be able to see what you are doing.
Zoomed-in view:


The End.

A really bad day

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.

The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drank my poison."

silent treatment

There was this couple and one day they had a fight. They were giving each other the silent treatment so they couldn't talk to each other. And then the guy had to get up early in the morning because of a meeting the next day. However, he didn't want to be the first to break the silent treatment so he left a note on the counter:

"Pls wake me up at 5am for my meeting"

The next morning, he woke up at nine. He was really upset that she didn't wake him up.
Then he saw a note on the pillow next to him that said:

"it's 5 o'clock, wake up"

The importance of saying the right thing at the right time

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party.

As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in Lipstick:

"Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian"

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son... What happened last night?"

"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.

Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??"

His son replies, "Oh THAT! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, I'm married!!"

Broken Coffee Table $239.99 Hot Breakfast $8.20 Two Aspirins $2
Saying the right thing, at the right time. . . PRICELESS!!!
