Got me some toys today:


This here is the Nokia N97. My contract with M1 was up for renewal, and I got it for less than half its retail price.


Call clarity is better than my old iPhone, although the user interface has much room for improvement.


Masters of the Universe Classics is about the only action figure series I'm still actively collecting.

This unappetizing mess was my dinner at Jack's Place some months back. Perhaps because I'd procrastinated devouring that half lobster, and therefore left it subject to the heat off that hotplate, the lobster flesh turned out dry and untasty, despite the generous sauce heaped on it.

Lunched at Ikea sometime ago. The place was surprisingly crowded on a weekday afternoon, possibly due to the droves of office workers who worked nearby.

The food was superb, as usual. However, the serving size of the smoked salmon seemed to have shrunk considerably. The oddly pastel coloured cream of asparagus tasted better than it looked.

Just got my new ride yesterday:

UPDATE: Its a Hyundai Avante 1.6 Automatic Transmission, as I'm too poor to get anything else. That said, my driving experience thus far has been nothing short of pleasurable. However, I did succeed in accumulating a couple of distressing scratches on the front bumper due to my own inept cornering skills.

Sometime ago, I met up with my band buddies from ACS(I) at Ma Maison, The Central. Nearly everyone has started working, some in legal/finance professions, others in the civil service. I'm the only one still stuck in grad school.. *shrugs*.. Thanks Lawrence for the following pictures:





My food - Hamburger Steak. Although I opted for a 'jumbo' version, the portion was still pitiably small. There is also a distinct absence of carbs, other than the poor excuse of a spoonful of mashed potatoes. But ah well, the great company of my friends more than made up for the distinct disappointment my stomach endured.

Fish and Co.'s New York Fish and Chips, my favorite comfort food:

Heres a round-up of the foodie-goodies I've been devouring this festive season:

Lawry's at Paragon had a tea-time promotion featuring, amongst other choices, yorkshire pudding with bits of vegetables and shredded steak in it. I hope to try one of their sumptuous set lunches/dinners one day, when I've made enough money.

This was what my plate looked like before the meat carvers at Carnivore (a Brazillian Churrascaria restaurant at Vivocity) dumped heaps of meat, ranging from beef rump to lamb shanks (I rejected the BBQ-ed chicken hearts), on it. The side dishes were excellent, and I liked the unusual pumpkin puree especially.
