Bedok Mall Has Opened... Sort of...
...Still, I don't think I will go again, till it is more or less "stable" without the big machines... Will that be too long to wait??? Hmmm....

SITEX 2013 Haul....
For umpteen years I have not been to a IT/computer fair... This is my first time returning, and bought a lot of stuff...
Initially wanted to buy a AIO printer, but considering the humongous size, I decide to get a good printer instead (and maintain using my good old scanner if need)... and then realised this is not small either... anyway, cheaper than if I were to buy a AIO printer, by about $140... Cost $159, with freebies of trolley (as usual), and a humidifier...
The OTO Humidifier that came free... hmmm.... can't seem to google out any information on this thing... And why did I name this as 'dehumidifier' for the picture filename??...
Also bought a Marbella MX6 HD Digital Recorder for my car at $189... with freebies...
...freebies that come with the MX6 HD... the HDMI cable stated in the brochure is included inside the MX6 HD box...
Also bought a CoolerMaster laptop stand with cooling fan... at $28, it seems good.. until when I used it, the metal grill (on top) will make "~crang~" sounds when I type on the laptop keypad. This is due to the palms resting on the laptop and the laptop is resting on the metal grill of the holder, so got some harmless but irritating sounds...
Final thing bought is this CLIPtec 4 Port USB Hub, to replace my old spoilt one... cool blue illumination when plugged in, nice...
Saw this scene at 1 end of the SITEX Fair, seems like on a grand scale...

Bear Bites 熊の食... "Bear Paw Bun"
First time trying the bear paw bun at Bear Bites 熊の食... Not a very pleasant experience when ordering though, due to the incident at the counter where it seems to take almost all staff to deal with 1 delivery man while I stood at the counter as if I am invisible... maybe its that I look lost and the staff also not sure what I was standing there for (????) ... Until one staff ask the others whether they can take my order first... anyway... Will probably pop in there to buy again since it is quite near to Somerset MRT... and quite nice taste too, despite eating only after a long time... Too bad the milk bun ran out of stock, so I bought both brown sugar version...
I promise I will (try to) eat my (food) purchases asap and not after a long time...

1/2 Day Orchard Trip...
Went for a self-guided 1/2 Day Orchard trip... hahaha... Planned out the trip to alight at Orchard MRT station and board the return trip at Somerset MRT Station...
1st stop - Krispy Kreme. Long heard of the famous doughnuts, so decided to buy some and try... When I reach there about 10am, there is only 1 (set) of customers about to pay for their purchases, so no queue fuss for me... Bought 12 doughnuts in the end...
... of 5 different flavours... Think you know what these flavours are better than me, hahaha... The glazed doughnut is fluffy inside and the glaze makes the outside have a "crispy" feel. The taste is ... well, typical of doughnut... not that it is not nice, but I mean it really taste like a good doughnut (I think).... hahaha... Don't like the Red Velvet version, too sweet... and the cookie-crunch version & almond version seem to have a more harder texture than the glazed version... Overall, still nice... Oh, do make a good cup of black coffee (aka kopi-o), with just a teeny bit of sugar if you desire, to go with the doughnuts, they make a wonderful combination!!!!!!
Some pictures of Christmas trees and decorations taken in Orchard... First is at Tangs...
At Paragon... Went over to TRU to get some Christmas present for my little niece...
At Takashimaya... look see look see... and bought some Korean rice cake to eat, hahaha....
Wanted to buy the Bear-Paw buns at SCAPE too, but it was closed when I got there... sigh, next time then buy bah...

Bad Throat Infection....
Started around Mon / Tues... but gotten worse on Fri... Doctor says is some bacteria / virus, so got to take a course of anti-biotic capsules (which are super smelly, hahaha)... Seldom seldom kenna such serious thorat inflammation / infection... Small cut on hand un-noticed when buying some ice-cream for my little nephew and niece leads to large blood flow, only realised when paying at the cashier... Now I know blood when frozen looks like paint chips that are stained on the surface... Lastly, a big thank you to the 3 cashier staff who were very helpful to attend to my wound immediately, thank you very much...

My Super-size Lunch Today...
Bought this big packet of rice from an Indian coffee shop at Blk 26 New Upper Changi Rd... Super BIG packet.. Awed at the size after I poured it onto the big plate that I have... full of rice... portion of curry mutton, cabbage and chick peas are not small too... $4.50... Enough to feed 2 adults... Must be my big tummy that leads to the person who pack the rice to give me a bigger portion, hahaha... And no, the can of Taiwan beer is not mine...

Brunch Outing at Kungfu Paradise (Bedok Point)
Was at Kungfu Paradise (Bedok Point) today for brunch with my parents... and was not disappointing...
Mixed platter of fried stuff... not bad, above average, but my father does not quite like the calamari rings, saying they are too dried... which we thought otherwise...anyway...
The instant noodles... don't seem like it is imported from Korea... but kind of springy nevertheless... Noodle taste is nothing special... but the chicken is good!!!!!!!!!!
My mum ordered the twin-mixed baked rice, got 1 big piece of fried fish and 1 big piece of fried chicken... Chicken is good! The batter on the fish is crispy but too thick, making the inner of the batter mushy...and the fish may not be defrosted long enough... but overall, still ok!
My father ordered this... And don't be deceived by its simple looks, as this is VERY GOOD!!!!!!! Tinge of curry powder makes it smells aromatic... very nice... Bee hoon is also quite springy...
Dessert is the salted egg custard bun, also VERY GOOD!!!!!! Hahahaha.... Saltish, sweet, saltish, sweet... that's how the custard will taste in your mouth, and when mixed with the fluffy "skin" of the bun, it is... hmmm.... go try out yourself lah, will not regret... I think... hahaha...
This was ordered after we finish the main food, as my father wants to try out to see if this is good... and we were not disappointed at all... The ice flakes are not sliced to big piece, but very scattered... surprisingly "fluffy"!!!!!!!!! And the little "bubbles" popped in your mouth with a slight push of the tongue, very fun! Sweet and sour... nice...
