My Galaxy Evolution.... 3 Years After...

Yeap, gotten this yesterday at the Singtel launch event at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre... Samsung Galaxy S5... Cost $688 (sign on to Lite plan)...



The accessories that came with it... very minimum... The charger is most interesting, with a usb cable that can be used by eg. laptops etc, or connect to the a.c. mains-socket adapter to use with a.c. power... The top pin ("fake" ground pin) can be slided in to keep the socket to be more compact...



The camera is popped out by a couple of millimeters, so sad... On my 2nd day morning, I already dropped the phone and scratched the metallic-chromed rim of the camera lens... hahahahaha....



The cover for USB connection is now a typical flap that is quite irritating to use when plugging in the USB head... But can understand the change (compared to Galaxy S) since waterproofing is now considered in the design...



Galaxy S5 box is smaller than Galaxy S box, but....



... Galaxy S5 is so much LARGER than Galaxy S !!!!!!

MC For 2 Days... Sigh...

Long long time had not gotten MC for 2 straight days... Gotten diarrhea, vomiting, super indigestion, painful throat infection and cold in 48 hours.... Sigh, hope after this will turn better...

Sunday's Chinatown Trip

Sunday's trip to Chinatown was long overdue... and partly to buy the present for my little nephew's birthday in June... Had a heavy brunch in Hong Lim Food Centre (or some name like that)... Bak Kut Teh... Preferred this type of black (herbal) version over the Teochew clear (pepper only) version... personal preference... This stall serves a soup with okay taste.. nothing too special nor nasty... Average average but is still okay. The meat is super tender though (and not over nor under cooked)... Finish almost everything, including soup itself... Overall good dining session there... The soup costs $4, rice $0.50, and doughtsticks $1...

Then proceed to jalan jalan before going to CSC to collect the toys bought over eBay... SInce the CNY decos are still there, thought might as well snap some pics down...

Finally before going back to CSC, had a kopi-break at the Hill Street Coffee Shop located at Basement 1 in Chinatown Point.... I particularly love the steamed bread with black coffee (aka kopi-o)... very very nice...

Happy Chinese New Year!!! Happy Valentine's Day!!! Happy 元宵节!!!

Lucky still can make it in time.... Today is the last day of CNY... Happy Chinese New Year!!! Happy Valentine's Day!!! Happy 元宵节!!! Just finished a reunion dinner with family... for the X-th time this year, hahahaha....

Jollibee Outlet in Lucky Plaza... PART 2 !!!!

Wednesday went over to Jollibee again... and this time managed to taste the food... and I am not disappointed at all... not at all...


Went over at about 9.45am, so the crowd is not visible from outside, way different from what I encounter last time...



A sweetness smell filled up my nose immediately when I stepped into the restaurant... very unusual but nice, hahaha... I sort of figured out why this is so later, after tasting the food... The queue system is the 1 long line system, (eg. buy toto in bigger Singapore Pools shop) which I felt is a bit better system, since in the event of a jam in 1 counter, the people behind will not need to wait unnecessarily long...




The napkins used are a bit unusual too, as they are the thin type, and the paper used seemed to be the recycled paper type...



I ordered the Chickenjoy set at $6.60 (with spaghetti) consisting of a portion of spaghetti, a piece of the famous chicken, and also a drink (I chose root-beer... ) The regular fries is an add-on, costing $1.50... I first tasted the brown colour sauce (above the chicken) - has a slightly sweet taste which reminds me of the mushroom sauce in KFC's mushroom burger... It mixes well with the chicken which is veered towards the salty side (as in the chicken's taste is not the "sweet" type)...



Which one should I try first? ... Hmmm.... Think I will taste the spaghetti first... The spaghetti itself is quite well-cooked; not the Al-dante type but not overcooked... could have been better if a little more springy... but maybe this is how the spaghetti is cooked over in the Philippines... The sauce is .... UNIQUE... superbly sweet, tomato-ly sweet, with slight savoury taste... NICE!!!! Though I think Singaporeans may not like as it is more towards the sweet side, but I LIKE it... The melted pieces of cheese brings up the yummy-level in terms of smell and taste... Kid should love this... Small bits of sausages can be found...




Next, the fried chicken... The piece of chicken is GOOD!!! A very thin layer of batter/flour makes it crisp (but a bit of oily), and the meat inside is tender and JUICY!!!!! The marinate is also quite home-style, not much of the typical "factory-artificial" ones that you taste in many fast food restaurants... NICE.... A good mix when eaten together with either the brown sauce or the spaghetti, as these 2 both are sweet in nature, blends well with the savoury chicken.... Yummm....



The fries are quite good...Crispy...I can only say crispy... Perhaps is because they are just fried (quite hot when I first pick up 1...)... Taste is normal, but is good, comparatively...



Overall, it is a good dining experience in Jollibee, and I kind of crave for the sweet spaghetti sauce, hahaha.... My student also suggest can order the rice set next time, more worth as it comes with 2 pieces of chicken... Will I go again? Well, I think very very very high chance...that I will be going more than often, hahahaha...
