Walao eh!
It is a term so familiar with Singaporeans and Malaysians alike.
This expression is so versatile that you can use it in almost any occasion!
Just under what circumstances will you say "Walau eh"?
F1 Pit where the open house took place
Hello, here are more photos from the AOH 2012. These are the remainder photos that do not make it to the previous post. There are more, of course, but most of those do not make the cut.
Enjoy!
4am at Farnborough Beach
Just before going to sleep, I set the alarm at 4am so I could wake up in time to catch the sunrise at Farnborough Beach.
I only had a few hours of shut eye as I was watching Top Gear on TV in my room with another friend who did not go drinking at the town with the rest of our friends.
As the resort was just right next to the beach, the seabreeze was howling throughout the night. It is kind of scary hearing that outside your balcony as we hardly encounter such wind speeds in Singapore.
The sky was still dark and very chilly as I made my way to the beach.
The warning sign at the sentry heading towards Sam Hill
You know what? This post is six months overdue!
That is how long I have put off writing the R&R bit of my Exercise Wallaby trip!
Refresh your memories here:
After almost two weeks, we are finally leaving Sam Hill. This was my second time leaving here and I guess it is for good.
It would be very unlikely that I will return here for a third time.
The SMURF Flavored Yoghurt
What is your favorite yoghurt flavor?
Chocolate? Vanilla? Or one of those fruity flavors like Mango or Peach?
Why not try "SMURF" for a change?
The Hong Kong Egglet is essentially a kind of egg waffles which has been a very popular Hong Kong street snack since the 1950s.
The batter of egg, sugar and flour are poured into a special honeycomb-shaped waffle maker and then toasted to a golden hue similar to that of an eggshell.
Because of the unique depressions on the lids of the waffle maker, the finished waffle resembled a cluster of eggs hence, it is also known as the 鸡蛋仔 (loosely translated as Little Eggs, or Gai Daan Zai in Cantonese).
今天向大家推荐这部命名为『我的爸爸』的短片。
短片中，一名小学生的作文题目正是《我的爸爸》。
他先描述了爸爸的样子，再道出他与爸爸之间的关系。
他从小就在一个单亲家庭里成长， 并由爸爸父兼母职的把他带大。
原来，爸爸不仅是爸爸。他也是级任老师，更是学校的训导主任！
We had an early Father's Day celebration dinner over at Siam Kitchen's Lot One outlet two nights ago.
The fragrance of Lemongrass greeted our noses the moment we walked into the restaurant and it instantly reminded me of a... foot massage palour! Haha!
The ambience is quite pleasant and I am attracted to those large window panes.
Although the restaurant is not very spacious, I do not feel very cram in there. Or maybe it's because we were early (about 6pm)?

Today's main ingredient is a little prickly. I did not know that the Cactus could be eaten, much less turned into a soup, and a nutritious one at that. I was at my sister's place the other day when she asked me to stay for dinner as she is making this soup. My jaw dropped when I heard that. Never before in my life have I ever heard of "Cactus Soup". I did not stay for dinner that day although it did pique my curiousity for the next few days. Thus, when I saw Cactus pads for sale at the supermarket this morning, I decided to buy a piece home to try it out. Cactus Soup is really fuss-free and easy to make but most of all, it is very affordable and nutritious. Did you know that the Cactus contain beta carotene, iron, some B vitamins and are good sources of both vitamin C and calcium? Here are more benefits of the Catcus: - Reduces swelling - Expels heatiness - Strengthens immunity I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mian Fen Guo (面粉粿)
U-Mian (幼面), Ban Mian (板面) and Mian Fen Guo (面粉粿) are three varieties of noodles classified as hand-made noodles (手工面) and is
popularly served in the food courts and hawker centres of Singapore and Malaysia.
In Malaysia, however, they call it the "Pan Mee".
The dough, which is a blend of flour, egg
and water are first kneaded and left to rise. It is then flattened and rolled into the pasta maker; and depending on the kind of pasta you are making, it is then sliced into the desired width.
'Paranoia' is an animated short film made by four students as part of their
final year degree project for Thakur-Toonskool Advanced Animation
Academy.
The film begins with the protagonist traveling in a late night Mumbai train and the carriage is
empty except for a few sleepy passengers.

Who could resist having old school kaya toast, soft boiled eggs and a aromatic cup of kopi-o (local term for black coffee) to start their day?
Housed inside a pre-war building, Tong Ah is located at the junction that splits into Teck Lim Road and Keong Saik Road which is infamous for it's brothels in the olden days.
For the first time, the Army Open House (AOH) was held outside military grounds at the F1 Pit beside the Singapore Flyer.
This is in tune with the Army's effort to engage the public and showcase NS45 and the capabilities of our 3G Army.
This animation reminds me of the bizzare case in Canada where Vince Weiguang Li, a Chinese immigrant beheaded and cannibalized a Canadian bus passenger in front of other horrified travelers four years ago.
Li, 43, had repeatedly stabbed his victim, who had been asleep on the seat next to him. He cut off the victim's head, removed his internal organs, pocketed his nose, tongue and an ear, and taunted police and bystanders with the severed head.
Li said he was acting on "the voice of God" to kill his victim, whom he believed to be an alien for if he did not do so, he (victim) would kill everyone else.
He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia and was found not guilty of murdering 22 year old Tim McLean on a Canadian Greyhound bus on July 30, 2008.
Have you heard about the drama over at Maxwell Market?
If you have read the papers, you would have known about the quarrel Mr Wong Liang Tai (or Ah Tai as he is popularly known) had had with his employer, Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice last October.
If you have read the papers, you would have known about the quarrel Mr Wong Liang Tai (or Ah Tai as he is popularly known) had had with his employer, Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice last October.For the clueless, Ah Tai used to be the head-chef of Tian Tian who got fired over a dispute.
It was reported that Ah Tai did not manage his workers well and he shouted/threatened them to the point that they felt unsafe at work.
Ah Tai was aggrieved by the accusations. He is further disheartened by the fact that his twenty years of service to Tian Tian went unappreciated.
But that is not the end of the story yet.
In a world that judges people by their number, Zero faces constant
prejudice and persecution. He walks a lonely path until a chance
encounter changes his life forever: he meets a female zero.
Together
they prove that through determination, courage, and love, nothing can be
truly something.
RUIN is a remarkable CGI animation produced by Oddball Animation and directed by Wes Ball.

Lao Li is pissed
An enormous public outcry erupted among football fans here in Singapore when intermittent "freezing" of the TV screens interrupted their game during the English Premier League (EPL) match last night.
Singtel MIO TV, who own exclusive broadcast rights to air the EPL were bombarded with hundreds of angry comments on their Facebook wall.
Singtel announced that subscribers to MIO TV's online package were not affected [link].
This is utter bullshit.
THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE IN THE SPORTS CHANNEL!
This "frozen" screen problem is affecting ALL the channels on MIO TV. I am not a subscriber of the sports channel yet, I have been plagued by the same problem ever since subscribing to some of their movie channels.
Within a matter of days, I had already celebrated Mother's Day twice.
The first was big brother's treat at Penang Place Restaurant while the second was big sister's treat at the Soup Restaurant.
