Mr Curry Review at The Central Singapore

Hi everyone,

I went to Mr Curry located at The Central (alight at Clark Quay MRT station) on 22 oct (fri). There was only one family in the store when my bf and I went in at about 4.30pm. There is only one waiter that is standing by. I liked that it is not crowded and the decor of the store was cozy.

For those who haven't seen Mr Curry, it is a store that claims to specialise in Japanese curry and sweet stuff.

The menu has a lot of variety ranging from rice, omelette rice, spaghetti, pizza etc. that has curry going with it. Sweet stuff ranging from desserts, stick cakes, dessert drinks and other beverages. The menu can be found online if you are interested. (But it seems a little outdated) This is the link: http://www.waraku.com.sg/index.aspx

We tried 2 dishes (Hokkaido curry ramen and Pork curry rice) and 1 drink (Melon float).

If you order the curry rice, there are four types of curry sauces to choose from: original sauce, red sauce (the waiter said tomato is part of the ingredients), black sauce (I guess fish is part of the ingredients), white sauce (the waiter mentioned milk is part of the ingredients). You can select from three levels of spicyness - non-spicy to more spicy.

My review:
Hokkaido curry ramen - I love the mixture of ingredients - half of a hard boiled egg, some crabmeat, some salmon, a scallop, three slices of beancurd skin. I know the ingredients are meant to be in small portions, but I would really appreciate if there are at least more crabmeat. The curry sauce has a little bitterness to it. To be honest, the curry ramen was a little below expectations. But overall, it was not too bad. I give it 3.5/5.

Pork curry rice - This dish comes with rice, a bowl of pork curry and some salads. This is the second time I ate it. The first time I chose the non-spicy curry sauce. This time, I ate a little more spicy sauce. I would say it tastes better than the non-spicy one. My general take on it is that the curry sauce is a bit little (slightly more curry sauce will be better). For those who don't like fats, some slices of pork contains some fats. Overall I rate it 3.5/5.

Melon float - I love honeydew. Thus I tried my luck by ordering the melon float. I would say it doesn't taste like honeydew. I give it 2.5/5.

Picture speaks a thousand words. These are two pictures we took:

"My Empire" game on Facebook!

Hi all,

I find that "My Empire" Game (by playfish) on Facebook is one of the best games that I have came across thus far!

It is one of my favourite games, if not my favourite! =)

It's something similar to "Age of Empire" if you have played it before. But of course not as much features. Go try it.

However, I think much effort is made in designing the game. The graphics is not bad and the game doesn't lag too much! =)

This game is especially attractive to me because I love to have my own empire and army. =)

Hebe singing Jolin's "Wu Niang"

Dear guys, =)

I want to post this lovely video from Youtube.

In the TV Show "Kang Xi Lai Le" on 2010.09.08, Hebe (her original name is Tian Fu Zhen) is singing Jolin Cai's "Wu Niang" in her own style. The content is from CtiTV Inc.

It's really nice! =)

Salad bars in singapore!

Hi everyone, =)

For those who want to have a healthy snack outside of home, perhaps you can consider having a healthy salad meal for lunch.

I went to this kiosk located at the basement level of Plaza Singapura (PS). It is a relatively new concept in Singapore. It serves ten kinds of salads, many variety of onigiri (japanese rice balls) and japanese grill on sticks (like yakitori). Really a lot of variety for a small kiosk like this. =)

Personally I tried one of its salads (Tonsyabu salad). Tonsyabu salad consists of boiled pork, mizuna, mini tomota and onions. The salad dressing is sesame dressing. The salad costs me about $6 for 100g of salad. The salad has really generous servings of sliced pork and vegetables. The salad dressing really complements too.

For the salads, what is really special for me, is that there are different salad dressings for different salads.

Here are a few photos that I took:





You may like to visit the store if you want to try something new and healthy.

There are more and more salad bars opening up in Singapore (here are two salad bars that I came across while shopping, haven't tasted it though):

1) SALADSTOP! (This is the website for your information: http://www.saladstop.com.sg/) - I saw an outlet at Marina Square.

2) Grand Salads - I saw an outlet at Suntec City at the basement level.

Justin Bieber - Never say never [Song in Karate Kid (2010)]

Dear all,

Never say never by Justin Bieber is really a nice song. You can feel the lyrics if you watched the show - "Karate Kid" with Jaden Smith, being the lead child actor.

For those who missed the movie "Karate Kid", you get to see the hot screenshots of the movie in the Never say never video.

I have posted the video here:

My comment on my blog's theme!

Dear all,

I've received some comments on my Comment Box regarding my blog's theme. Thanks for all the compliments. =)

I will elaborate more on FindFuninyourLife's theme.

The theme is about fun. For now, I am exploring all sorts of fun themes:

(F)un food
(F)un holidays
(F)un locations
(F)un movies
(F)un etc.

In fact anything in the sun which I consider fun to our lives will be blogged on.

My personal interests are in food, singing, dancing and photography.

I may be introducing themes of the month in the future. =)

Olio Cafe & Coffee Club at Marina Square!

Hi all, =)

If you were wondering what Western restaurants or cafes are available at Marina Square, you may be interested in the following.

I went to have dinner at Olio Cafe at Marina Square with my bf just now.

The cafe ambience is relatively up-class I would say. However, when I looked at the menu, the prices are not as expensive as I thought (Slightly above average; Main courses are in the range of $12 - $20). The photos of the food look appetizing, so we decided to have our meal there.

I took a few pictures (posted below).




Here is my review of the meal:

Persian masala chicken - In my opinion, the meal may not be enough for a guy. The chicken tastes rather average.

Black pepper lot burger - It has a beef patty so I couldn't eat it. I stopped eating beef since I was about 12. But my bf's review was that the burger was average. The beef patty was rather dry. The fries were really nice (crispy), but eat them while they are still hot (if not, they will turn a little hard).

Overall, it was a fairly average meal. I give it 3/5.

Next, I was craving for Tiramisu Cake since yesterday. Hence, we explored cafes in Marina Square. We went to Starbucks, Secret Recipes to check out if they serve Tiramisu. Nope, they don't serve it. Then we thought of checking out Coffee Club.

To my delight, Coffee Club serves Tiramisu Cake (called Tiramisu Trip). I find the atmosphere (in the atrium) really relaxing. Hence, we went in to take a seat.

Here are the photos I took (posted below).






To my surprise, Coffee club's menu has a huge variety of choices. And there are a number of unique dishes and drinks.

Here is my personal review:

Mocha Tropicana - Mocha with a rather heavy fruity aftertaste.

Banana Butterscotch Latte - It made the coffee rather smooth to drink, less bitter for those who are not a coffee drinker. 2 or 3 dry slices of banana are placed on top of the latte. Not a bad combination, but I would still prefer the original latte (since I enjoy a little bitterness).

Tiramisu Trip - Not as good as I had expected. It might be due to not enough alcohol in the tiramisu.

Muddy Mud Pie - Coffee ice cream stacked on top of chocolate ice cream, on a layer of chocolate crust. Chocolate syrup was all over the Mud pie. Overall it tastes good. I especially like the chocolate crust.

Overall, I give our meal 4/5. Not a bad place to hang out and chat.

A Great Dinner at Chili's!

Hi all, =)

I spent a wonderful night with my friends at Sentosa yesterday. We wanted to visit the Universal Studios Singapore at Sentosa (Hollywood After Hours). However, when we went there, we were told it was closed for an private event. Oh my, mistake on our parts for not checking properly I guess.

Hollywood After Hours opens from 7 to 10pm every friday and saturday for only $5 per ticket. Contrast with if you were to go there in the day (anytime 10am to 7pm), the ticket cost is about $60 for Adult and $50 for Child. However, only a portion of the Universal Studios Singapore (Hollywood Zone) is opened up for Hollywood After Hours. The main purpose of going there is to take photos, dine and shop with your family members/friends.

Anyway, plan B was to have a good meal, take photos and shop around. For dinner, we went to Chili's (somewhere outside the Universal Studios Singapore). It was a great dinner considering the food, ambience and my company! You will be spoilt for choices, there are a lot of variety. The food was not too bad, slightly above my expectations. The price was a little steep. Well, you have to spoil yourself once in a while!

For those who are interested in knowing the price. This is what we ordered (four of us):

Caesar salad, Mashed potato (side dish), Monterey chicken (main course), Smoked turkey sandwich served with fries and a glass of white wine.
The total bill is about $90.

My review of Chili's at Sentosa is 4/5. It's really worth trying!

My friends and I took some photos (posted below).

Resident Evil: Afterlife movie review

Hi all, =)

I just watched Resident Evil 4 yesterday. The general plot of the movie was not bad.

But I feel that some parts of the movie were filmed in a different way compared to the previous Resident Evil stories. An example, the Matrix like animation of the fighting scene between the evil representative of the Umbrella Corporation and Alice. Please feel free to add your comments in the chatbox.

Throughout the entire movie, I was very agitated by the evilness of the Umbrella Corporation. You have to watch the movie and tell me if you feel the same!

An hour into the movie, I was pondering about how to save the world by killing all the zombies in the World. An idea popped in my head. I was thinking why won't the Umbrella Corporation invest in building Robots? I believe they have the resources to do so, instead of wasting resources on irrelevant actions like "enslaving" humans. Then again, there is the ethical debate of whether we should kill all the mindless zombies. After all, they were once humans. I wish I have an answer, but it's really up to discretion. Perhaps robots can be used for defending against the zombies to safeguard the only humans left in the world.

Well, enough said. On the whole, I give the movie 4/5. Watch the movie for yourself!

I have posted the Resident Evil: Afterlife Video Trailer link here:

Learn How to Cook Scrambled Eggs!

Hi all,

I love to eat scrambled eggs! So I went to Youtube to search around for nice videos. I looked at 5 videos. So far, I found this video to be the best! The scrambled eggs cooked look really nice! You want your scrambled eggs to look appealing, don't you?

I have posted the video here. In case you find trouble viewing it, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGyb7uBXe9E&feature=related



After looking at several videos, here are some important tips that I have learnt:
1. Use unsalted butter or oil to coat your pan (Butter will taste better I think)
2. Add water to your eggs after cracking the eggs
3. Do not add salt into your cracked eggs as it will break down the protein of the eggs (You can add the salt in when your eggs are almost cooked)
4. The control of heat is important when you cook. Medium heat will do.

Hope you all love it! =)

Step up 3 is great!

Hi everyone, =)

I love to dance (although I haven't been dancing for quite some time). If you are like me, you have to watch the movie Step Up 3! It is available in 2D as well as 3D.

What I like about Step Up 3 is the story gets more and more exciting as I watched it! At first, I thought that moose's (actor: Adam G. Sevani) dance moves are fine, not that great. But eventually I realised he is a guy who can really sweep you off your feet with his dance moves. Really cool! The second and third battle in the movie is awesome.

Here is the link of the trailer from Youtube (The movie is better than the trailer):

Hi guys,

Hebe from S.H.E just released her first solo album on 3rd Sept 2010! The album title is: To Hebe

Well, it's time we show her some admiration by calling her by her birth name - Tian Fu Zhen.

If you are a fan, why not support her?

I love miffy

Hi everyone,

I love Miffy. I am a Miffy Lover.

So let me show off one of my Miffy collections. A limited edition soft toy in celebration of Miffy's 55th birthday. I bought it a few months back.

I posted the picture here. =)

Dinner at Mad for Garlic

Hi everyone, =)

Yesterday night I went to Mad for Garlic at Suntec City with 3 friends. My friend suggested the place because she heard from her friend that the food is nice. Why is the place called Mad for Garlic? It's simple. Let your imagination flow.

Well, Mad for Garlic is an Italian Restaurant. It serves pizzas, pastas, salads, starters, side dishes, desserts and Wines. The prices are clearly stated in their website (you may take a look at http://www.madforgarlic.com.sg/).

We ordered 1 starter (Garlic Bread Tower), 1 pasta (Lobster Pasta), 1 pizza (Grilled Pizza) and House Pour (a decanter of White Wine). We paid about $20 each for the bill.

Overall, the food is not too bad and the ambience is relaxing with dim lights. The customer service is good too! I would recommend you to go if you like Italian dishes. =)

We took some photos.

Breakfast at Wild Honey!

Dear all,

I had a great breakfast with 3 of my friends at Wild Honey in Mandarin Gallery 3 days ago. This is the first time I visited the place. It sells different countries' styles of breakfasts all day (9am to 10.30pm on weekdays, 8am to 10.30pm on weekends). It does not let you make reservations. So if you are going, I suggest you go on a weekday morning. We went there about 12.30pm in the afternoon.

Mandarin gallery is across the road from Hereens. It is easily accessible by train or bus. For train, alight at Somerset MRT Station and then walk out towards Orchard MRT Station direction. For bus, I took 174 and alight when I see Hereens, then I cross the road. Wild Honey is located at Level 3 of Mandarin Gallery.

Wild Honey has a cosy ambience and a comfortable lighting. It feels like an European or English home setting to me. In my opinion, simply lovely!

We ordered 4 main dishes, 1 side order (something like Potato wedges) and 3 drinks. The bill is about $120. Each main dish ranges from $18 to $20+. The main dishes that we ordered are Basque Breakfast, Mexican Breakfast, Tunisian Breakfast and Sweet Morning. I am going to try and describe each of the 4 dishes in my own way.

Basque Breakfast (My choice): The dish has scrambled eggs, sweet onions, ham and 2 slides of bread.
My Review - I love this dish a lot but I would say the ham tastes kind of raw. I supposed this is the way it is supposed to be. But I recommend that you eat it in small portion.

I took a picture.



Mexican Breakfast (My friend's choice): Burrito filled with scrambled eggs, potatoes, beans, salsa. They are three sauces for you to dip it with.
My review - This is a great choice if you love burrito. For sauce lovers (like myself), the sauces are not bad.

I took a picture.



Tunisian Breakfast (My friend's choice): This dish has sliced sausages in some kind of savoury tomato sauce. The sauce is a little sour and sweet at the same time. There are 2 sunny side eggs in the dish.
My review - If you are a tomato lover, this is a superb choice.

My friend took a picture of it.



Sweet Morning (My friend's choice): This dish has french toasts stuffed with a sweet filling. I had a small bite. The filling tastes like mango. There are 3 sauces you can dip it with. But it tastes fine without any dips.
My review - If you like sweet stuff, this might work for you. But if you are a heavy eater, this might not be the top choice to fill your stomach.

My friend took a picture of it.



Overall, eating at Wild Honey is a nice experience. Even though it is a little pricey, it is worth-while to go there once or twice. Go and have fun with your friends. It is a good place to catch up.

Taipei Shilin

Hi all,

Shilin night market (near Jiantan MRT Station) is one of the most famous and biggest in Taipei.

It has 2 sections, 1 is in a building which comprises of mostly food vendors, and another is nearby the building, where there are many non-food vendors selling clothes, toys, accessories, skin products etc. It is really a good shopping and eating paradise.

I am going to write about food now. There is a popular food stall selling Taiwan Oyster Omelette! You know the famous Taiwan drama series, Corner with love 《轉角*遇到爱》, casting Da S and Xiao Zhu Luo Zhi Xiang? Apparently, the stall's signboard caught my eyes. The Chef of this stall taught xiao zhu how to cook oyster omelette! Yum!

I tasted the oyster omelette twice (I went back another day)! It is different from the oyster omelettes that I tried from other food stalls in Taipei. It is slightly flatter thus the texture of eating the oyster omelette is different. The oysters are very fresh. It is worth a try!

I took some pictures.

Hot springs in Taipei!

Hi guys,

Xin beitou is popular for its hot springs.

There is a public Hot Spring that costs only NT$40, about S$1.70. It has a number of pools with varying heat.

For those who prefer privacy, there are many hotels that offer private hot springs.

For me, I went to Sweetme Hot Spring Resort (Shuimei). It is very conveniently located near the Xin beitou train station, about 3 minutes walk away. Look out for the directory which points to Sweetme. It costs me NT$1080 for 1.5 Hours if I remember correctly for a private room with a bathtub where you can fill it with Sulphur hot spring. It is about S$47. You can share it with your friend. The room comes with a shower place where shampoo, shower cream, towels, comb, body moisturizer are provided. I wore a swim suit into the hot spring though they say I am supposed to go in with nothing on.

The only disadvantage is it does not have the outdoor feel. So if you are looking for a cheap and natural hot spring, I would recommend you to go for the Public hot spring.

I posted some pictures of one of the private rooms in Sweetme Hot Spring Resort below!

Taipei Ximending!

Hi all,

I wanted to blog about my experience in Ximending this holiday (29 Jul to 2 Aug 2010).


******Added this particular line in 2015:
Future Star Hotel's new website:
http://tomorrow-hotel.com.tw ******

I stayed in this hotel - Future Star Hotel (http://www.futurestarhotel.com.tw/). The Chinese name is 明日大饭店 (Ming Ri Da Fan Dian). The hotel has relatively cheap rates. I took the room that costs NT$1180 per night (about S$51). It is located in Ximending which gives you an advantage if you like night shopping and supper! Ximending is a popular place for teenagers and young adults to hang out! There are also a couple of cinemas for you to catch a movie. Street performances are plentiful!

I like food so I am going to blog about food! My favourite food in Ximending is Mee Suan ("mian xian"). The shop that sells Mee Suan is Ah Zhong Mian Xian! It is very famous for its Mian Xian. I heard of the place even before going to Taiwan!

It is slightly different from the usual Mee Suan because the dish has pig intestines instead of oysters! But to my surprise, it tastes the same as the usual dish. For those who don't eat pig intestines, just simply eat the Mee Suan, it is nice! I did that. Remember to add the vinegar, garlic sauce and chilli (proportion up to your sweet creation). The taste is heavenly after mixing!

I posted some photos here for your viewing. =)

Mr. J French-Italian Restaurant II

Hi guys,

I will post about Mr. J Secret Restaurant that I went to in Taipei!

The theme of his second restaurant in Taiwan is based on his movie, Secret. The chinese title of the movie is 《不能说的秘密》. So cool right?!

The restaurant is located in Taipei Medical University, which is quite near to Taipei City Hall (train station). It opens mon to sun 11am - 9pm. I took a taxi from Ximending to Taipei Medical University because of time constraint. It costs me about S$10.

The food is French-Italian. So they have spaghetti, lamb chop, cakes etc. What I like about the menu is how Jay manages to implant his creativity into some of the dishes. Like there is a main course - spaghetti with smoked duck in orange sauce. Yum yum! The set that I ordered (Soup, Salad, Main course, Drink and Dessert) costs me NT$350 - about S$15. I think it is really worth it.

The restaurant atmosphere is nice and relaxing! It is elegant (but not overwhelmingly), simple and cosy! There are also decorations like Jay's photos framed up on the walls, his Piano etc.

Overall I love his restaurant. I don't mind going back a second time!

I have posted some photos here. Anyway, there is a website for his Restaurant - http://www.mrj-tw.com

Trip to Taiwan!

Hi all, =)

I am back from Taipei! I went to Taipei from 29 Jul to 2 Aug 2010. I departed from Singapore on jetstar. The plane was scheduled to fly at 7am, however there was some delay because of a sick passenger. Oh well I don't mind. Overall it is a fun trip. It is good to bring someone who is close to you to Taipei, you get to share the food and have fun shopping together. Like I did! =)

In the 5 days trip in Taipei, I went to Ximending, Shilin, Wufenpu, Xin Beitou, Zhongxiao Fuxing and Mr. J French-Italian Restaurant II (opened by Jay Chou).

Ximending, Shilin and Wufenpu are well-known places in Taipei for its shopping. The Taiwanese food at Shilin are also very popular. Xin Beitou is famous for its hot springs. Zhongxiao Fuxing has shops underground. It links up with 2 other train stations. There are also many departmental stores around the train station. If you have time, you can go there to shop. If you are in a rush, in my opinion you can skip it.

In the next few posts, I will write more about Ximending, Shilin, Xin Beitou and Mr. J French-Italian Restaurant II in Taipei. This is for those who may be interested in going to Taipei!

Flying Off tomorrow!

Hi guys,

I am flying off to Taipei tomorrow. I am coming back on 2nd August! Wish me fun!

I will be blogging about my trip when I am back.

Miss me guys! =)

p.s. Have a Travel Checklist ready so you know what to pack in your luggage. It is useful for every trip.

Review of Sim City Societies (PC game)

Hi all,

As promised I will write more about Sim City Societies after playing it.

I am surprised to find out that I can play for hours (unlike Sim City 3000 - 1 hour limited duration). After playing for many hours, I realised that it is a demo game because I can only build up to 100 buildings. But nevermind, I can play for hours (about four hours, depending how fast you play) to build that many buildings.

The rules of the game is relatively similar to previous versions of Sim City. Only now you can zoom in much more (to see the citizens in the city and also click on them) and Sim City Societies has more buildings such as work places (bank etc.), entertainment and shopping venues. There are also 6 societal values which you can play about to create characteristics for your city - prosperity, productivity, spirituality, creativity, authority, and knowledge. You can focus on all or any of the societal values for your city.

You may love or hate this game depending how you see or play it. If you have the time, you may like to try downloading the demo game (the link is in my previous blog post).

P.S. After downloading Sim City Societies, I would recommend that you play the tutorial to familiarise yourself with the game. =)

Jay Chou The Era 2010 World Tour in Singapore!

Hi all,

Jay Chou's concert 2010 in Singapore just ended! Awww! It lasted for 3 days, 23, 24 and 25 july 2010.

For those who didn't go for his concert, you can catch a 6 minute clip on Xin Msn. I did! This is the video link for your convenience: http://video.xin.msn.com/watch/video/jay-chou-the-era-2010-world-tour-in-singapore-%E5%91%A8%E6%9D%B0%E4%BC%A6%E8%B6%85%E6%97%B6%E4%BB%A3%E6%BC%94%E5%94%B1%E4%BC%9A2010/tnsfxb41

Note there might be an ad before the actual clip.

I have also posted a very nice video. Jolin Tsai appears at Jay Chou The era concert in Taipei. They danced together! Nice! I embed the video here:

S.H.E going Solo (but won't disband)

Hi all, =)

I like S.H.E especially Hebe. I was free so I went to youtube trying to see if there are any nice videos on Hebe. I saw a video showing S.H.E revealing that Hebe will be releasing her own solo album!

Then I went google to search for confirmation. There are not much news on this. However, I managed to gather that S.H.E would go solo - Selina will focus more on hosting, Hebe focus more on singing and Ella more on acting. However, S.H.E will not disband, their group will remain as one. (It's a pity if they were going to disband)

I saw on a blog that Hebe's solo album will most probably be postponed to next year (2011). This is a smart move because they just released their group S.H.E album, SHERO. This leaves Hebe and her company more time to release a good album.

Anyway, while searching for videos on Hebe on youtube, I found a really nice video. A compilation of clips of Hebe. This is the part 2. I find it nicer than part 1. But part 1 is really nice too. Go youtube and see if you want. Really very nice!

Credits to the person who did up the video! Claps with two hands! If you are a fan (or not), watch this video! You will not regret. You will be touched to see Hebe's music journey and how talented she is. Below is the embed video (the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDaz_94Xsk8&feature=related):

Marina Bay Sands Singapore

Hi guys,

Marina Bay Sands's official opening is on 27 April 2010. It is a five-star Singapore hotel with 55 storeys. It has 3 towers. I heard a lot of people are interested in its Skypark, which is located on top of Marina Bay Sands, 57th floor.

My parents went to Marina Bay Sands for a 1 night stay on 16 July 2010. So I decide to tag along and tour around for the day.

We booked in quite late in the day, about 4.30pm. We went to our hotel room, located on the 32th storey of Tower 3. After dropping the bags, we went out for a tour at the hotel Skypark.

Hotel guests are only allowed to visit a part of the Skypark, the part with the Swimming Pool facility. We are given two hotel room cards. Each card is entitled for 1 guest (who is not staying over) to enter. Lucky me! For the observation deck on the Skypark, there is a fee of $20 per person. Anyway, this is good enough because non-hotel guests cannot use the Swimming Pool. The view on top is superb! Imagine swimming on the 57th storey. It feels like you are on the top of the world!

Anyway, I didn't swim because I was in a rush (sad!), I had to leave about 6pm. So the plan was my parents will swim at 8pm (the Skypark Swimming Pool closes at 10pm) when I leave. I went to tour the Shopping Mall (The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands) and have afternoon tea with my parents. Overall, it was a very fun day! Cheers!

Guys, you should try visiting Marina Bay Sands and spending some time with your family too!!

I took some pictures of my Marina Bay Sands "tour" (see below).

Sim City Fans! Alert!

Hi all, =)

I am a Sim City fan! I played the oldest Sim City version (Sim City), I think more than 10 years ago. I really liked it!

So recently, I tried to relive my good memories by finding free Sim City demos online. I managed to find a free Sim City version - Sim City 3000 (the earlier version is Sim City 2000). Try out the game! It is located at: http://www.brothersoft.com/games/sim-city-3000.html

You can download directly from this link or you can go google to find other websites.

Anyway I played Sim City 3000 4-5 times after I downloaded it. I think you can play this free version unlimited times. However, each demo only lasts for 60 minutes (if I am not wrong). So within this 60 minutes, make use of time wisely! Try and error to see how you can build the best Sim City! To me, a negative thing about Sim City 3000 demo is you can't save at all! What can you expect from a free demo?! It's worth playing if you are a fan!

By the way, as I am writing, I am in the midst of downloading another free Sim City version - Sim City Societies! More about it after I started playing! I can't wait! For players who cannot wait, here is the link to download: http://download.cnet.com/SimCity-Societies-demo/3000-7480_4-10853476.html?tag=mncol

Bird Nest!

Hi all, =)

I drunk bird nest today! My mum cooked for our family. Haha.

It's very special bird nest drink (actually it is in a jelly form). My mum added logans into the birdnest to cook. Please also add red dates to make it taste nicer! Then she placed it into the fridge to transform it into jelly form.

When served, she let me tried the original taste, then she poured soya bean milk into the bird nest drink! Actually tasted nicer! Depending on what is your preference.

Haha it's quite a nice taste! Must try! Special bird nest Jelly!

If you want to find out more, please leave down your comments. =)

Exercise by travelling

Hi all,

I want to share this "travel" tip with you.

To save money and to keep fit, I travel on my legs from the Train station to my home. It's about 10 - 15 minutes walk.

I found a calculator online that calculates the calories burned in 10 minutes. (source: http://walking.about.com/library/cal/uccalc2.htm)

It takes note of the minutes I spent walking, my weight and my pace. I burned about 20 Calories. Note 22 calories = 1/2 Cup strawberries

1 mile is about 1.6km. And if you want to know eg: how far is the Train station to your home, you may visit www.onemap.sg. This is a really good website of Singapore map. I strongly recommend it! It takes some time to get used to it. But it's very useful, you can zoom in to see the bus numbers at the bus stops.

Exercise today by travelling to keep fit!!

P.S. And guess how much I save from walking? According to SBS website, it states for me about 70 cents for travelling one bus stop. Imagine how much I can save every week (eg: 5 days) = $3.50. Over 4 weeks, you can save $14!! Great?!
