Deal or no Deal?

With a population of 5.077 million people, Singapore has at least 4 websites that have plenty of deals to offer. The deals ranged from outdoor activities (Forest Adventure) to dining (Fatboy’s The Burger Bar) to overseas travel (1-day CNY JB tour). Anything that you can think of, you can try to find them somewhere some how.

Seriously, these websites never failed to surprise me with their deals and hopefully with more competition, they will dish out even better deals!!! The following websites are arranged according to my personal preferences, that is, the good deals they offered so far:

4 Must-Dos in Camp (if you need to do ICT)!!

(1) Shop at the Emart!!!! You get credits every 2 years and all you have to do is to flash your 11B or NRIC and wala… you can walk away with running shoes, tshirts, lots of socks and even towels!!!! I bet the Great SAF Emart Sales can sometimes be better than the Great Singapore Sales.

(2) Look out for the Mess. That will be the place for you to hang out, chill out and play pool or table soccer. Sometimes, movies will be screened at the Mess and it can be so fun that you will not want to leave. But then, look out for the Mess boy. Nope he is not a messy person, just that he is in charge of the Mess. Well, in a way, he has to ensure that the Mess is not in a mess.

(3) Canteen is the place to go at least twice a day. In the morning, go there for breakfast. Maybe before lunch, go there for tea break. Then, around 3pm, it is tea break again!!! It is highly recommended for everybody to go there whenever possible.

The above 3 Must-Dos are definitely highly recommended by me and it is definitely possible to squeeze time out from the training everyday.

(4) Eat at the cookhouse!! You might never know that the nearest cookhouse in your camp could be one of the best cookhouses in SAF. And surprise surprise surprise… that is what you get each day, you never know what is for breakfast and lunch and dinner! Prawn Mee, Nasi Briyani, Laksa, Chicken Cutlet… like it or not, be prepare to be surprised.

Video Game Awards 2010!

I just viewed the Video Games Awards 2010 from Animax! The overall visual effects of the awards is pretty awesome – the lightings + the computer graphics = ultra super duper 3D!!!!

Red Dead Redemption won the “Game of the Year” but to me, Call of Duty: Black Ops is the best game for 2010.

My Chemical Romance also performed at the awards and they simply rocked the house. I would love to attend the awards one of these days.

MM Lee’s new book! To be launched on 21 Jan 2011.

Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_623808.html

Based on the 16 interviews MM Lee gave from December 2008 to October 2009, this book will covers his views on many issues. Maybe he will mention about the SGD$1 coin and explain why it is shaped like a bagua.

Think I will be buying this book on Friday.

That is not a cat. That is a rabbit!!!!

Kind of surprised to see a rabbit running around my neighbourhood. Since CNY is approaching and it is going to the year of the Rabbit, I hope its special appearance is an indication of many good things to come.

Bestest thing that happened to me in 2010!

The Bestest thing that happened to me in 2010 was to fly all the way from Singapore to the hometown of Ben & Jerry’s in the United States of America!! The flight was really tiring but hey, this was a priceless experience and was totally worth the long hours on the plane!!!! ^^ And this was the first time I travelled overseas with my sis!

We finally arrived at Vermont and it sure was cold…. but not that cold…. especially since we were well-trained in the shopping malls in Singapore. Cold? What cold? No problem…

 

The hotel room was very warm and cozy and look at the toiletries…

There were even cookies to make us feel at home…

Alright, then we had our first dinner in the USA…
