Post severely edited due to insensitive content


Sobs sobs... Help me... I'm dying... of laughter.

(content removed to protect the identity of my office staff)

I do apologise for this late post. It was a really busy week and I missed out on real world stuff, like memes from Trollercoaster or reviews from Ozzy Man. Business will resume shortly once I sort out my paperwork. And when something or anything tickle my fancy.
Nice piping hot cup of coffee
But along the way, I had to find time to meet up with a really close friend of mine. He was one of the few guys I bothered keeping in contact with after we ORD long time back. Daniel is now living in Australia and he was back for a couple of weeks. And we last had coffee 3 years ago!

So we had some after dinner coffee at Breko in Holland Village. Look at how pretty the cup of piping hot latte is! One problem though, there's no freaking handle. And the cup is hot, too hot to hold actually. Function along with form is preferred here hello...


And we relived good memories in camp, like how he once got a new guy to dance contemporary dance in the bunk. That poor chap was untrained and was totally made a fool of. My friend even placed a chair in the middle of the bunk and got that dude to do some ballet pirouettes on it. The rest of us were either under the blankets laughing uncontrollably, or peeking in from outside, you guessed it, laughing uncontrollably.


Also, our camp used to be at Keat Hong, where there's nothing now but new BTO HDB flats. Opposite the camp has a Zhi char stall that we always da bao food when hungry. One guy was taking orders, and someone ordered sambal 炒饭 (fried rice) for supper.

The one buying came back with 三包炒饭 (three packets of fried rice) for that guy, without once thinking why would 1 person order 3 packets... #truestory

To conclude, I'll be ending this post with a screenshot I took of Google Maps only because it becomes a Pac-man game with your location as the paths! I think it only works as the mobile phone version but I could be wrong. Plus it's past midnight and I need my beauty sleep. If you've seen my face in person, you'll know that it isn't working, but I still got to keep trying.

Two day hangover, need TGIF beer to resolve it

So since it's a Friday, let's make this a bit yummy looking. I went for a work appointment at Buona Vista, and although that is actually pretty near home, it's even nearer to Holland Village. And as I'm typing this I can actually sense my liver giving me the middle finger and whispering a lot of hokkien to me. None are printable.
I needed to meet my Financial Advisor to better improve my medical coverage, and managed to find a place serving 2 pints of beer at $12++. 2 PINTS!!! Do head down to Drinks & Co., the beers are light, they have a fantastic selection of wines and whiskeys, and the staff are incredibly friendly.
think my first sip was a bit much
I think after work, and boring discussions, I need a beer. Or maybe 10. More if you're paying. And I'm not sure is it because I drank a bit too quickly, but I started seeing weird shit along the street.
To be sure that I wasn't hallucinating, I took a few photos from my phone. I wanted to join in and get my photos taken too, but I'll just keep letting the girls fall on me, preferably boobs face down. It doesn't beat the NUDE COUPLE walking down the street all those years back, but still somewhat entertaining. Thank you tight yoga clothes. From the bottom of my heart.

Needless to say, I had a bit of a hangover the next day, and as such, had to go have a meal for lunch where I needed to totally sweat it out of my system. I dun think it's a standard hangover cure, but it works for me so I'll stick to it. 

So I know of this little hidden treasure at Enggor St called Korean BBQ World. At night it turns into a very worthwhile Korean BBQ place, but during weekday lunch, ALL dishes are only $10 nett.
only $10 nett! for all these!

Now, for that $10, you get free flow of the 6 side dishes, a very generous portion of the main dish, be it soup overflowing with ingredients, a bulgogi with 3 times the meat you get at food courts or a seemingly endless bowl of bibimbap. I've brought many massive eaters here, and we seldom need to refill the side dishes. Even the soju costs $13 nett, not that I ever ordered during lunch. Cos no drinking during office hours. 

Being a little bit older nowadays, I like to find cheap bargains for food and beverages. And lucky for me, the firm I'm with regularly has lunch catered in. Which means if there are leftovers, the staff gets to eat. A mini buffet. For free.
today's lunch
Now I know what you might be thinking, there is not much veggies on the plate. But they were serving broccoli, so you really can't blame me. It's freaking broccoli. Bleh. I also had nasi lemak in the morning, with 2 big pieces of ngor hiong, but no pics cos I was so damn hungry. Trust me, it tasted great. And now I'm fat from the carbs overload.

So since it's a Friday, I might need to go have a light drink to end the week. And yes, I just did say I'm feeling fat, so to help my waistline, I shall not eat any solid foods. After all, I'll already be just ordering a tower of liquid carbs. Weee.

In conclusion, I'll be hungover till Sunday. That's a 4 day hangover.
