It's 9pm, we went to the Cheesecake Cafe at siglap area.
The cafe was introduced by my colleagues. I'd went there once, I would say the cakes are yummy! I din have dinner, so I was really looking forward to the yummy cakes.
When we hit the entrance, we bumped into a pretty waitress and was only greeted with "it's full house inside, pls wait a while". After a while, we were given menu and a seat outside. I saw the waitress ushering other tables that was waiting outside slowly... Thinking that it might be our turn soon. Then, I saw a couple walked directly into the cafe and gotten a seat immediately. Meanwhile, we are still waiting for a seat outside with the menu. The 2 waitresses walked in and out several times, but we were treated like invisible. And then, another couple walked straight into the cafe and gotten a seat immediately too! WAT THE HELL?!? Hey boss, your cakes cost $7.50 each! It's time to review on your service standards
So it's not difficult to imagine that we'd ultimalte left and went to Gelare instead. But of course, tat had spoilt my night totally. If anyone has got better suggestion of where I could get yummy cheesecakes, let me know, pls!

原来吃 dark chocolate 有很多好处。即可以降低血压又可以降低胆固醇。终于有licence，可以光明正大的吃chocolate 了！

最近一直有人问我，market very bad，有没有想过经营什么副业？ha ha... 我前阵子是有想过开个甘蔗水店，又无需动太多的脑精，又无需太多本钱。也许以后失业后，可以想一想。
其实，好几年前，还在 GMP 时，曾经有个奇怪的念头。ha ha...因为每次午餐吃得太饱，午饭后都好悃，好想小睡一会儿，哪怕是 5 或 10 分钟，我也爽！我记得曾看过电视 documentary 说过午睡能够恢复精力，对集中精神工作有一定的帮助。所以，我想要在 CBD area 开一间专门让白领阶级的上班族能小睡片刻的地方。地方不需要太大，也不需要什么装璜，只要 partition 开10张床就行了。那里会以最少 5 分钟来计算，extension也是以每５分钟计算，不过 charge 多少我还没想过。Maybe 我可以成立一个 member's club，每光顾 60 分钟，就送 5 分钟。Hee Hee Hee Hee... 不过地点是个问题。
Michelle 抽中了 Pinnacle @ Duxtor，调皮的 Michelle 说要把房子租给 KC... KC 便打趣的说不然把房子租给 Evelyn 吧。Great idea! 有意者，请与我联络。

This book is by one of my fav authors - James Patterson.
I came to love his books after reading "When the Wind Blows", it's about 6 flying kids running from crazy scientist...
Back to this book, it's the 7th book of the Women's Murder Club series. The Women's Murder Club is formed by a homicide inspector, a DA, a medical examiner and a reporter and togther, they track the killers.
If you like Homicide or crime thrillers, try this one.

Ordered a clam chowder + garlic bread + seafood platter for 2 @ $50.20.
The seafood platter is a complete disappointment. The portion is shabby for its price - 1pc of fried fish + garlic rice + fried + small portion of calamari + 4 not very big prawns are given. To my great disappointment, there isn't mussels in the set. The garlic rice tasted like normal chicken rice.
Although the service was not too bad, I don't think it's worth spending at this restaurant.

My parents came back from China last nite.
Before the trip…
Fenfen: 爸~ 要换多少人民币?
爸: 换一点就好，没有什么东西买？
Last nite (at the airport)…
Fenfen: 你们不是说没有东西买，为什么行李这么多!?
And I spotted something… Mulberry silk blanket aka 蚕丝被.
Remember when I went to the Suzhou mulberry silk factory with my parents in my secondary school days. Can’t really remember the process of making the silk blanket, just remember the presenter say this blanket is make of 蚕宝宝, you can feel it breathing when you use it, it is 冬暖夏凉 and it’s good for 鼻敏感的人. So my darling parents bought one of those fascinating blanket. Singapore don’t have 冬 lah, so whether is it 冬暖夏凉 I dunno. But I really love the 蚕丝被! You can really use it on cool and hot weather. BUT…
Fenfen: 为什么又买蚕丝被？我们每个人都有了还买?!?
妈: 要给你当嫁妆

It's 15/11/2008, 6.30am in the morning, 原本很安静的早上，我的手机的铃声却在这时响起。原来是男主角发来的简讯--"Operation fetching Mrs Crab begin!" 想不到，Crab是第一个结婚的同学。我当然不渝余力，volunteer to be a "driver"。不过，有一点identity crisis, 不知道自己是“兄弟”还是“姐妹”。haha....
Crab其实是我大学的好“姐妹”，而我就是他的好“兄弟”。学生时期有学生时期的烦恼，crab一直在身边支持我，不晓得他还记不记得，他曾对我说过：“我不会做任何会伤害我们友谊的事。”老实说，我很感动，有个如此知心的朋友。谁说男女之间没有纯友谊？我俩就是最佳代言人！我们是rag n flag认识的，晚宴上crab请的NUS同学也都是rag n flag的“兄弟姐妹”。有可能是因为we have been thru a lot of shit together then,所以感情特别好。非常想念大学的日子.... 不明白为什么我们当时不喜欢回家，每天不是就地而睡(in sleeping bag)，就是睡在arts club那个又脏又臭的couch上。记得我们以前常说：＂We eat together, sleep together, bathe together, and shit together.＂Haha...不知道内情的人一定会get the wrong idea！
Crab is always full of ideas. 这一次的求婚大计crab也下了不少功夫。He actually get people to take pictures from all over the world, and in the pictures, there's a msg saying "SAY YES TO WAI LEONG". So romantic!希望他们永远幸福！

Sometimes when our job gets too monotonous, it's always good to have colleagues like Ms Pang. She's practically the walking joker, bringing happiness to us.
Scenario: Customer came to branch to ask her son's name as mandate for her safe deposit box. Not too sure of the procedures...
Son: What if I lose my safe box's keys?
Ms Pang: I would strongly advise you NOT to lose your keys.
Ms Pang, you sure you call this an advise? [...]
