food glorious food (June 2007)

it's been a while since i last commented on the F&B industry... i think i am crazy for noodle + soup this month... it could be because of the comic book on Jap ramen that i am reading. 1) MOF, Marina Sq - i had this spicy ramen. worth a try. their food is generally good but portion might be small for big eaters. 2) Tomton (or Tontom), Central - they are famous for pork...this is a Jap restaurant... but the soup with soba is good... the taste is appetizing... price is slightly more than ichiban or sakae but taste definitely worth it... there is this 'Katsu Curry Rice' which looks delicious... will definitely try this restaurant again... seems like it has a sister restaurant at Liang Court known as Tampopo, selling almost the same things. 3) Ichiban / Kuriya Fish Market, Great World - tried the Business Bento set... i thought the picture in the menu is attractive... but don't be deceived... i should have just taken the sushi belt. 4) Pastamania, Suntec City - all past

soar in property prices!

if you have read recent Singapore newspapers, major headlines are all taken up by property...HDB 5-room selling SGD720K, some HDB plot going to be at SGD500psf, en-bloc unit at average 11mil per unit... property prices are really crazy now... everywhere, HDB, private property, condo, they are like 'rockets', shooting so high up, so fast and don't seem to fall yet... at least the COE came down, went up, rest awhile and adjust a bit.... stocks and SGX have to do some self-correction and then go up... property prices have skyrocketed just after i purchased mine... and has not come down a bit... it will go on for a while since F1 is coming next year... is this the property bubble now? is it bursting soon? if you have spare cash, it is good to invest in one unit (private apartment) and rent out...rental is like SGD2k and above for a small unit... at some point i am also tempted to sell mine... it should fetch SGD850k now... hahaha... the best unit... with sea front... city view.

a single test for patience, endurance and temper

how do you know a person's limit (endurance and temper)? i used to have very short temper and will flare up easily... as times went by, i get better. what could be worse than a baby's cries while you are driving? i probably slap the kid in younger days... now i basically 'switched off' .... these cries are like music to my ears now... hahaha... so... the next time, you employ a new staff or is looking for a good temper partner....let him or her handle a crying kid...cheapest and fastest test.

are they the same?

i was listening to this track from The Temptations. one portion of the lyrics "I'm gonna live the way I loved and I'm gonna love the way I lived." aren't they the same? maybe i am slow in understanding.

things get really funny when you put these photos side by side...one of it belongs to my eldest girl, the other the younger one. both photos taken when they are about 3 months old (sound asleep). you can only spot the difference when they are awake.
