sorry, polygamy is noT accepted here


im watching tis disturbing HBO Original Series, Big Love. it's horrible to watch a small community of Utah-rians practise polygamy.

e male protagonist grew up in a polygamist family, but din believe in polygamy until his original wife (aka First Wife) was critically ill.

he tot tat was a punishment frm e Higher Power, cuz he din practise/believe in polygamy, n hence decided to take in 2nd and 3rd wives in order to heal his First Wife.

First Wife had to LL accept the decision of her husband cuz she loves him too much.

at tis pt, i got pretty grossed out. it's obvious tat e husband loves his original wife e most, but doesnt wanna defy his natural customs.

n it's juz painful to see how e wives gotta take turns to spend a nite with her one husband.

i tink tis series is perverse enough to drive any sane gf/wife (including me) to immed msg their bf/husband n declare tat he belongs solely to her.

but seriously, if we were borned in a society where polygamy is legal AND e accepted custom, some of us mite prob be ok to share their bf/husband with 13 other ladies. -_-

noT me tho. dearie, u've been warned! LOL~

such things do happen


"The person who spent v-day with me lovingly, holding my hands, , saying 'i love you', was the same person who broke up with me a week later, saying tat he 'had stopped loving u (me) 6 mths ago'."

made a mental note: men are truly such natural liars.

girls, u've been warned.

i am an angry ebay user now


Message: Hi there,

May I know what is the following S$15.80 invoice (forwarded below) for? Breakdown of all charges? It's not a spoof email right?

I'm not aware of any charges that should be implemented on my items. I have been listing my items at the exact same listing specifications for the past year and there hasnt been any charges nor invoices at all. So why is this 16 Feb to Mar 15 2008 period chargeable now????

Is there a revision in ebay's listing charges? Did ebay notify its users (including me) about the new charges? I honestly do not remember receiving any notification regarding the revision of fees.

Therefore, it's not fair that I'm being charged for this. I dont think it's right that you charge your users without notifying the users of revision in charges. Pls look through this matter and give me a satisfactory response rightaway.

Thank you for your attention. Reply to this email address pls.

qian loves teppanyaki!


seriously i din noe Sakae Teppanyaki exists until i passed by it in Changi T3. yuan lai they alr have so many branches everywhere.


at first i tot its set dinner wld be ex, but surprise surprise! abt $20/set oni wor. n it includes so many dishes!


we went in right away, n after ordering a set dinner each, e waitress served us our appetiser salad....

not bad, e sauce tastes like e sushi tei sauce. nice~

add $2.50 each to upgrade white rice to garlic rice....

garlic has always been my nemesis, but tis garlic rice is awesome. great smells too~

e chicken set:

one teppan-cooked oyster in some milky sauce tat completely has nth to do with teppanyaki. other than e no-link, no complains.

food arrived arduously slow initially, then start piling on our plates towards e end~

one tofu. e chef actually chged a new piece of tofu cuz e old one broke into 2. if u noe wat i mean. perfectionism.

tofu is gd, e sauce is gd. watever e sauce is made of i donno, i juz noe tat e tofu tastes gd. haha~


clockwise frm top: teriyaki chicken (not too tough, not too salty, delicious!), cuttlefish (not too tough, not too tender, awesome!), salmon (no fishy smelly, which is gd enough for me!).


chicken set costs merely $17.99, i tink. love e food. =)



tats our food on e teppan! one minus of e restaurant is tat e teppan is too near to e customers, mayb it's juz me.


e beef set:


2 thin slices of foie gras. honestly, i tink foie gras is an oddity on a beef teppanyaki set.


but i like how e foie gras taste, like pig liver but a much lighter taste. yums. tats e 1st time i ate foie gras btw, how sua gu. haha~

their chawanmushi is veri special, e 'bowl' is actually half a hollow onion. there's crabstick, fish cake n prawn inside. tastes unique, not bad~

e beef horz... was e least yummy of all, no beefy taste, no teppanyaki taste, quite bland. we asked for medium rare but it tastes like well done to me.

e mushroom was rather fantastic on initial tastings, but it got more n more bitter as i ate on. weird, wonder why~

fulfilling meal! portions are enough to satisfy my tummy to a 'happily full' mode. hehehe~

after HSBC discount: $45 for 2 pax. cheapppppppp! definitely gg back again! hee~

changi airport day tour !


the much acclaimed Terminal 3

our 1st stop! in fact, tats wat u'll see once u come out of e mrt station.

me looking at T3's directory. hungry, looking for a tea break place....

at wang jiao!

qian loves to la kopi at local kopi chain. kopi, half-boiled eggs n toast! omg i sound like lijun. hahaha~

anyways so far i tink wang jiao's coffee quality is e most consistent among e other local kopi chains.

not trying to make an artistic pose in e photo, i was realli checking out e directory when i kena snapped. really! haha~

veri pretty horz, T3. but somehow it looks quite fake in e photo horz, like interior design blueprint lidat.

immigration/custom clearance. not a single soul. e whole T3 is quite void of passengers, actually. excess capacity aplenty.

i wanna go thru immigration, i wanna fly off frm T3, i wanna fly away frm sg~~~~

actually there aint as much things to see n shops to visit in T3 lehz, i still tot there's a indoor shopping centre inside or sth. chey~

tis is juz a bo liao pic. it looks like e public phone i used in shanghai airport. all airport phones look e same huh.

it looks so comfy inside! but we cant go in, not without a T3 ticket. bah~

there are lotsa those sofas n armchairs around in e T3 transit area, angmohs juz prowl themselves on em n slp. shiok lahz~

e newly-renovated Terminal 2

i hardly visit T2, cuz poor me oni can afford budget jetstar.

oh oh! when i went shanghai i was at T2, client paid for SQ flight. juz tat once. hehe~

old man said e pink counters are a legacy, original furniture frm e old T2. but seriously i cant rem how e old T2 looks like.

somehow T2 feels abit like T3. then again, they'r supposed to have a connected theme. right?

T2's viewing gallery is e smallest among e 3, but u can see e planes most upclose at T2. if u noe wat i mean.

good olde Terminal 1

tis is e 3rd time i visit T1 w/in e last 6mths (jetstar is here, u see). n apparently it's e most crowded terminal too.

can tell it's realli olde as compared to e other 2 terminals, look so retro man. haha~

tis olde school flip board will prob be phased out after e renovation, muz take photo.

veri nostalgic wor, T1. i flew to US frm T1, went aussie frm T1, taiwan frm T1, cambodia frm T1~

e old man suspected tat plane we spotted afar at T1's viewing gallery is A380. but seriously, it's so far (plus i noe nuts abt planes), i wldnt noe. haha~

.

it was a pleasant day at e airport, except for e aching legs tat i derived frm e vast walking. no crowds, no sun, no humidity. gd place to hang out for a day~ =)

incident no. 1

- guy i havent kept in contact with since july 2006
- suddenly msns me
- asked me to give him my contact, again
- cuz he lost his hp recently

- why do u want my contact for?
- so tat it can continue to rot in ur new hp's contact list?

anyways, i gave him my hp no, again. cuz im nice. wahahaha~

lulu had a similar encounter too, but hers is much more hilarious n absurd.

incident no. 2

actually tis happened earlier than incident no.1, on Mon. but till now im still quite sore abt it.

somethings i realli DONT like ppl to say aloud in office, u noe. moreover, i tink u shd have figured tat i prob dont like ppl to say things like tat in office.

i believe u dont mean it, but im seriously not happy tat u've said it. pls dont do it ever again.


TGIF tmr, enjoy~

hi.la.rious.

i love e chipmunk one e most! realised he realli resembles e chipmunks, except tat e chipmunks aint muslim. oh sorry.

realli sibeh eng - cake mania !!~


it all started with Diner Dash that i played yrs ago when i was still in NTU....

(yes, gen, i started with e same game as u too! n i alr planned to blog abt tis when i saw tat u alr blogged abt tis! LOL~)

u gotta sit e customers, take their orders, bring em food, send em bill, clear their tables... all b4 they get impatient n storms away! wahahaha~

i rem i was quite addicted to e game at tat time.

then school start getting busy n i forgot abt playing games. until recently i was so damn bored at a client's, tat i started looking for free online games to play again.

gotta plant seeds n grow e plants until they bloom, then sell em or pollinate em to grow more seeds.

it's intriguing to see how cross-pollination produces a hybrid of flowers. but e plants take too long to grow, not much patience to wait tat long.

so i moved on to another game. hahaha~

played tis game last wk, much more fun than plant tycoon (tho it's oso abt growing plants).

tis game much more fast paced, more exciting wor.

u gotta plant e seeds, water em, wait for it to bloom, harvest e flowers for points, while racing agst time! wahahaha~

can u believe tat i played till level 28 of tis game. yeah, juz proves how eng i am, seriously.

after tat, i realised gen n zen are oso playing these bo liao games! wahahaha~ why are we all so bo liaoz??
.
was told a way to cont playing e games after its trial period expired, n downloaded monopoly to try out e 'play cheat' free download.

it's like e usual boardgame monopoly, but still quite fun lehz. u can trade with ur other players de lorz, n exploit em or sth.

quite shiok when i finally made e computer player bankrupt n won e game. wahahaha~

gen says cake mania n turbo subs are fun, i wanna try but was afraid i'll get too addicted. -_-

i got those games frm a few sites:
- shockwave.com
- games.yahoo.com
- mostfun.com

highly addictive, u've been warned! =P
