Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Muslims!

I am back! It has been quite a while since I am here. There’s probably not many people passing through here now but I will still keep this blog alive nonetheless.

I have been busy for the past month (the fasting month to be exact), and was rarely at home. There was the PS course, live firing, parade, live firing again and finally  it was time for the new recruits to enlist. Quite a chaotic bunch at times but it will work out. Somehow or another.

Guess as time passed by, things change. Gone were the days where we would travel in big groups visiting houses during this month. For now, I’m quite satisfied with just visiting the few relatives we are close to.  Thus, to keep things short, treasure the relationships you hold with your relatives (especially if they are of the same generation as you)

Question: What do a lot of kids look forward to during Hari Raya.

A) Kuih Raya?

Possible as the month before this was the fasting month so they are probably starved for some treats. Perhaps, it can also be…

B) Relatives

Well, kids being kids, they always look forward to catching up with those of their age and play a game or two with them. However, the one thing most kids will definitely look forward to is…

C) THE GREEN PACKET

No, they are not money-minded. Admit it, I am sure a lot of you are guilty of the same thing when you were younger.

Converter

Anyone knows of any freeware converter that converts Matroska (.mkv) files to ipod format (MPEG 4?). It’ll help if they brought over the subtitles as well for convenience sake

Heineken Commercial

No matter how many times I watched this, the commercial still amuses me. Enjoy~

Seleção Handphone

Sweet! Anyone who has been watching this season’s anime would probably know where this handphone comes from. This is the phone used by the 12 Seleção in the anime Higashi no Eden. I was just wondering if they would make the real deal and I was looking for the sms ringtones they used when I came across the news stating that NEC has launched a preview of a new line of phones and one of them would be this one here. Not bad at all Japan. Here’s a few more pictures:

I WANT!

Happy 21st Birthday!

By the time you are reading this, I’m probably out there in the jungles of Singapore. Plus, we are staying in this week which is to say that we might not book out. Sad aye? The mosquitoes will probably enjoy it though. On a happier note, like I mentioned in the previous post, I’ve already passed my SOC so I can concentrate solely on the outfields now. It will be one hell of a ride as I will have outfield for three consecutive weeks, followed by my Thailand training.Oh well, thanks in advance for your wishes (since I will be outfield and won’t be bringing along my phone) I’ll catch you guys later!

Menu *updated*

The Ingredients page has finally been updated. Wait! I meant the menu page. Well, I have not really added much but after leaving it in the dust since September 2008, it has undergone severe spring cleaning and is as good as new!

Happy Lunar New Year!

Back from hiatus!

I am back from hiatus! Finally.. I’ve been busy for the past few weeks, what with high-key events going on like field camps and such. The short time I had after book-out was spent with my family, watching anime and playing Imagine. I went out with some of my friends a 2 weeks ago on a saturday to play LAN but that proved to be a big mistake as everywhere was fully occupied, not including the long waiting list. In the end, we settle at the gaming centre in Cineleisure, which cost each of us around 8 bucks for 2 hours. Played the game Left 4 Dead and enjoyed being the zombie while torturing the other players.

I heard good news regarding the YKT so congratulations to those who won. As always, for those who did not get what they want, time to buck up a little and train harder. Sorry because I cannot go down to support you guys as I ended my field camp that Saturday night. Guess I’ve got to go now. Till then~

A dream

Just a random post. I have noticed that I have visited this particular shopping mall in my dreams a few times. It is a fairly large mall, probably 3-4 times larger than Plaza Singapura (when viewed ffrom the inside). One thing that I will always see when I’m there is these two bubble lifts in the  middle. The lifts are bigger than usual of course, to ferry more people in it. They are emerald in colour, with golden linings/designs. From afar, it already gives of this grand feeling, not to mention when you are close to it. What are buble lifts you ask?

They are basically lifts fitted with glass walls. I was really fascinated with them when I was a kid and it was a joy just taking the lift up/down while looking at the surroundings outside. It is more of a bonus when the lifts are outside of the building and you can sometimes see a view of the town.

Back to the shopping mall, one of the stores I ‘frequent’ was this huge store that took like half of a floor. The store is somewhat like a mixture of Kinokuniya and Toy’s R Us. Therefore, I am always elatedwhen I’m there as there were many stuff to see ranging from various books to toys to even dvds and cds.

The food court there is also great, with a lot of the stalls having the halal certificate (lol). Also, there was this game shop I visited once where they have a lot of games for sale, even those that are hard to find in Singapore. Another one I visited was a computer shop (this computer shop was yesterday’s dream). I was looking for a dvd writer (in real life) so I just asked the lady at the counter if they have any as i cannot locate any of them. They only have one left, an LG dvd writer and sold it to me for 20-something dollars, which was a steal.

The last store that I can remember was this huge megastore in the mall. The people there were wearing uniform similar to Harvey Norman and I can remember clearly a promoter trying to psycho me to buy his product (cannot remember what it is though) but being a promoter myself, well, he failed. Well, that is basically some of the places I have visited. Well, I was not walking aorund alone in the dream. There was my family at one time, my classmates from polytechnic, fellow kendokas and random people who I have never met before (more than half are girls) What can I say, boys are boys afterall *laughs*

I realized after some time that the places I visited were places where they have items that I wanted to buy. The game shop was there because i wanted to buy a PS3 and the new Soulcalibur game. Furthermore, my siblings are there because we really wanted it. The megastore was well, because I was working at Harvey Norman and I wanted to buy a hd-ready lcd tv for the PS3 so I was scouting the shop for good offers. Food? Well, it was the fasting month so..*laughs* The computer shop was because I wanted a dvd writer. All in all, it’s a pretty amazing place to go to, plus it gives me the calm and relax atmosphere instead of the usual rush and chaotic one we experienced in real life. I’ll stop here then as guests are arriving soon. Till then.
