Wanted to buy a hair dryer since forever. Finally got down to it yesterday when Grumpy and I went to Mustafa.

After alighting from the bus-stop walked straight up and came across this fella handing out some flyers for a prepaid card from starhub. Took one and also took the next one a little farthur up from an M1 guy.

As I held them up to read they were BOTH in tamil. (??!)

Just as we crossed the street there were another 2 clowns (chinese clowns btw) trying to hand me the same flyers.

I said to him "Man, they're in Tamil. I can't read it "

wtf. Do I look like I could read that shit ?!

tempat senang

The trip was amazing. Although small, tempat senang is cozy, plush and BIG on ambience.

Took an hour ride on the ferry ($47/pax for a 2 way ticket)

A cheery driver was there to greet us and informed us there was only one other room booked. (out of a total of 6 rooms)


It's owned by a Swedish woman who runs the joint with her Australian husband. I should insert here the story of the hat that got away.

Grumpy found the hat whilst looking through what movie to borrow and asked if it was for sale. The very nice Mr Aussie was willing to part with it for a 20 but his wife was not too happy. (turns out her father gave it to him!) Sensing a sticky situation, I quietly suggested to Grumpy that we go and buy a similar hat and he reluctantly gave it up. Kept going on and ON about it all the way back home. At least he took a picture with it.

The whole point I wanted to go there was for the spa and I have made some discoveries:

1) The back of my right leg is a helluva lot more ticklish than my left.

2) I really REALLY like getting my stomach massaged.

3) The feeling of having someone rub sugar on my back is fantastic.

4) I do not fancy my fingers being massaged.

Judging from Grumpy's snores, I think it's safe to say he enjoyed it too.


Had their famous beer-can chicken for dinner.


Staying there felt more like staying at someone's house rather than a hotel/resort. It was really different. Will definately go again. Can you believe their 3hr spa package is only 99+ ??

No wonder Singaporeans head to Batam for spa.

do not order baked rice from pastamania

So let me tell you what happened when I got pastamania to deliver a Chicken Ham & Sausage Baked Rice and a pasta for lunch 2 Fridays ago.

The pasta was fine.

However, the same could not be said for the baked rice ($9 bloody 20). This is what it looked like out of the box. A little different from the website wouldn't you say ?

Grumpy had taken one bite out of it before I stopped him and said I was going to complain. How is this supposed to feed a grown man?? Hardly enough for a bird. I literally saw one sliver of sausage in there. wtf. seriously. What words come to mind upon seeing this kind of quality ?

hmm.. pathetic ? measly ? mushy ?

Gave some very constructive feedback and didn't expect they would get back to me. Then last Friday, the store manager calls me up, apologises profusely and offers to deliver the same order along with a complimentary apple something.

So just received it today and lets have another look

Well there's definately more liao this time. I can only shake my head.

Anyhow, point of the story, don't get it. EVER.

the short of the matter

So it's hard for me to find a decent pair of shorts.

Was trying to run around Heeren and get one before joining Pam and the Au-Chews for Pepper Lunch dinner.

Met up with V at Spinelli's. Poor gal, doggy died on her even before she operated. It didn't help that doggy was 13 years old, that's like what ? 80 human years ?

First shop went in was called 'Fourskin' hmm maybe that's why the shorts I tried on were so goddamn tight. They looked like bloody cycling shorts. FAIL

Then went into 77th Street. This saleswoman went to get my size and brings back something that looked so small I don't even think it would fit Thomas. We just stared at it and asked her 'Are you sure this is 27 inches'??? she was like 'Yes, it's a small cut' Tried it on. True enough, couldn't even get it past my bum. Small cut my arse. MEGA FAIL

Finally finally found something at Tough Jeansmith. Not only was there one piece left. It was in my size and 50% off. STEADY LAH

still here

It's been a little over 3 months and I'm still here. Currently have a girl here learning from me but this morning boss says she cannot make it. (??! uhmm.. what I do isn't exactly rocket science)

So now, come Monday, a NEW temp will be coming in and I have to start ALL OVER AGAIN. *faints

IT IS SO FRUSTRATINGLY FRUSTRATIOUS

A body combat class would be good right about now.
