Hello Iphone!

During the Krabi trip, my E71 died on me for no apparent reason. The screen blackout. I cannot reply smses and cannot see anything.

I see it as a calling to get a phone...and so ......

Finally, i joined the Iphone Club!

After M1 and Starhub hopped onto the Iphone bandwagon, the whole world seems to be Qing up for this genius creation.

Now, my whole gang-bang is doing the Iphone thingy. Greg bought his yesterday and Audrey is getting it too! YAY!!! and Ben Neo is deciding too! I like it when the whole gang put their Iphones on the drinking tables. It looks so cool!

At first, I thought its a complicated phone...but NO!!! The interface is simple and really IT-idiot proof.
With so many cool and useful applications, it makes life really much easier.
Besides checking emails on the go, replying msn messages and all the usual stuff, I can check prices, keep in touch with news, play games on the train, know the mall directory, know when is the next bus arriving, check out the weather, transfer funds anytime anywhere.

The magic is the wide screen. You feel like you are carrying a wonder super mini notebook with you all the time.

Last Sunday, I had a craving for something crunchy, something healthy and something spicy.

As I was alone at home, I decided to cook for myself a simple lunch.

Hence....Tadah!!!



Its simple to cook, yet so heathly and yummy!

First of all, soak the dried shrimps and "tang hoon".
Wash and cut up the cabbage.
Fry some garlic in a well-heated pan.
Throw in the dried shrimps and stir fry it for a few mins until the dried shrimps turn slightly brownish.
Then add in the cabbage and fry for another 1-2 mins.
Now, you can add in the tanghoon. Do make sure that its soft.
Add in seasonings and one small cup of water to soak up the tanghoon.
Cover with a lid for 2 mins.
Give everything a good stir and tadah!!!
p.s: i added some chili padi for spicy lovers!

A visit to the dentist

Yesterday, I visited the dentist for my yearly check-up.

It was Lee & Ong, much recommended by Bastian. I must say it is really prety good.
Located at the basement of Far East Shopping Centre, the reception area of the spacious clinic has a spa-like feel.

For normal polishing and scaling services, it will be done by the hygenist. Charges are reasonable at $70. For more complex services, you have to get Dr Lee or Dr Ong.

I had my usual cleaning up done by a gentle and polite girl. She is really good. Patient and sweet. I love the squeaky clean feeling!

After the dentist visit, I met up with Audrey for drinks at Emerald Hill. We visited this one called Outdoors. This place stands where the old Papa Joe used to stand.

We took a peep at ICB and Alley Bar... and those memories came flooding back to me.
Its been a while.. 5 years ago.. Dage, Me and Milly..we travel all the way from AMK to ICB for a cold Hoegarden...and the famous ICB pizza and wings. Those days, we were out of branch by 4.30pm and by 5pm, we joined the early crowd for happy hour beer. It was a routine every other day. Sometimes we sit outdoors to enjoy the evening breeze while we drank our beer. At other times, we walked through the wooden staircase and sit at the bar counter on the 2nd floor. Those days, smoking was allowed indoors and I remember the strong smell of cigg smoke on my clothes and hair every night.

Despite everything, we had our usual daily rants and endless gossips. the jokes and fun was incredible. The laughter was magical and the friendship, irreplacable.

But, that was then. 5 years later, we have drifted furthur. The calls became lesser. The smses fewer. I think its time for me to pick up my phone soon. The best part of it is I can still remember their numbers by heart. Phew...
