Universal Studios, Singapore

Shortalk: Finally got my hands Clazziquai’s Muncho Punk CD. It came all the way from Korea!

If you visit Singapore the past one year, you would have notice some major construction going on at Sentosa as well as the other side of the island republic. This is because the nation will welcome its first ever casino as well as the first Universal Studios in South East Asia come 2010.

And just today, I read some news online saying that the construction is almost complete and will open its door in the first quarter next year and im pretty excited about it. The entrance fees for one-day, two-days or express pass ticket ranged from SGD32 to SGD118 is more or less similar with the one in the States la. Of course one good thing is, you don’t have to fly half way across the globe to truly enjoy and soak in the atmosphere. Believe me, those who been there before will agree with me.

I definitely love going to Universal Studios than Disneyland. The rides are more fun and suitable for teenager/adults. And trust me, you don’t get kids screaming for mummy or crying if they’re too short for any roller coaster rides. You know what, I just realized I did not do a proper post on my trip (toUniversal Studios) before, so here’s some photos I found inside my archive:

#1 Unlike Disneyland which is located in Anaheim, California, Universal Studios is located in Los Angeles itself. Pretty easy to navigate around, really.

#2 and guess who i met at the entrance - Beetlejuice!

#3 indeed. hahaha.

#4 this is me looking excited and naive at the entrance of the "The Mummy" ride not knowing it was one of the scariest and bestest rollercoaster there.

#5 and this is us taking our last shot before we took off. and if you notice, we're sitting in the first row. FML.

#6 view from the top. LA is HUGE. you can see the desert far far away..

#7 movie sets! and this one is Wisteria Lane where everyone's favourite housewives live.

#8 and this is, well, self explainable. Save the cheerleader?

#9. me giving thumbs up @ Universal Walk. its like Main Street USA in Disneyland.

#10 back to the City Of Angels

Oh man.. If given a chance I wouldn’t mind going back LA and do this all over again. Or else, I can always take a 55 min plane ride down south for an instant “The Mummy “ roller coaster ride. Haha..

Now where the hell did I keep my Jetstar voucher?!

my other post here, here and here.

Never

Today, i learnt that i cannot eat while driving, especially trying to put chilli sauce onto my steaming hot har kao. It dripped "strategically" on my shirt and pants that is not so flattering.

I'm wearing a new shirt today. FML.

Internet has the best answer.

Shortalk: The following conversation took place in the cinema while watching 2012.

Friend: The movie showed earthquake, landslide, buildings collapse and tsunami in places like LA, Hawaii, India, Tibet and basically all the places around the world. But where is Malaysia? And what will happened to us?

Me: Malaysia has already submerged in water in the first 5 mins of the show la. We will be far dead to actually witnessed all the screaming and the biggest tsunami ever!

Friend: =.= (WTF?!)

You have to trust the internet thses days when it comes to getting answers to our queries and doubts. From common know-how (reformat my PC) to weird demands (how to listen to my dog? Or how to know if im still a virgin?!!), the internet provides us with gazillion of solutions and answers that make us smart by 1%. Haha..

And so this morning I arrived in the office couple of minutes early and I did some research on Makati, a district in the Philippines capital as well as what’s hot and what’s not there.

Logged in to answers.com and type in my question of the day and the minute I saw the answer, I nearly blew out the bits of karipap im eating.

See below:

Hahahah….

Now you know that Makati is actually AN INCH away from Manila. FML!

its Durian Bar from the Philippines!

My colleague came visit us and instead of getting us balut Krispy Kreme (we have it here already wtf), he bought this. OMFG. It looks like chewing gum and the texture is exactly the same like sugus, BUT its concentrated durian.

It's like unwrapping a chicken cube and eat it raw. Man, i love Philippines. They have all sorts of funky stuffs there.

Capalang

Shortalk: is how I describe my post. A series of events that had happened over the past week.

Vaccination

I finally got my vaccination last week, running from PJ to Gleneagles Intan two days in a row. You see, I had my blood test done almost a year ago and since im up for Tetanus, Hep A and Hep B vaccination now, the doctor says the blood test is void so I have to take it now to make sure I did not have sexcame in contact with any Hep A or Hep B carrier the last one year. So instead, of 2 injections on both hands, I need to have another one for the blood test. FML.

Some of my friends asked me if the vaccination has anything to do with my recent working trip to taiping coz I updated some very curious update in my facebook status that keeps everyone guessing. It says:

Im sorry to inform that no, I was not raped not involved with any aunty or whatsoever there la. This vaccination thingy is our yearly company’s heath policy and we have an allocated budget for that. So im just utilizing the budget allocated sicne its approaching end of the year already.

Food poisoning and bloated

That is exactly how I feel right now. Bloated. Too much “wind” in the stomach. Blame it on the Korean food I had the previous night, that after a while I finished dinner, I ran to the toilet several times and puke a couple of times. I was shocked to see what came out. I tout I vomitted blood but instead is the rich red color of the kimchi I had. Hahahah…

Couldn’t sleep well last nite, so today im half past dead, lying on my bed (almost) whole day while looking at the ceiling. FML or what?!

Royce’s

Went to KLCC yesterday and came across the Hokkaido food fair they had at Isetan and truly surprised to see a stall seeling something I’ve been craving for. Royce chocolate. I’m not a chocolate fan myself but this one after being introduced by a friend, I was hooked to it. I can still remember when I was in Bangkok lately, everytime after dinner, ill walk over to the counter and grab a few samples of Nama Chocolate. Haha.. until the promoter gave me the pissed look for me being a cheapskate not buying. In Bangkok, Royce's is available at LG Siam Paragon Gourmet Market. So my point is, you can finally get a piece of Royce’s goodness at Isetan KLCC.

I bought a box of the famed soft chocolate or better known as Nama Chocolate. It came in various flavours and I bought the seasonal’s best seller, Calvados. Cal what?! You may asked? Calvados is equivalent to Apple liquor la. Cis bedebah. Names people put just to glam it up. Just like squid and calamari, Brinjal and Aubergene.

check out their website here.

Durian

I’m a member of couchsurfing, an international traveller’s network that enables you to visit any hosts in any country and stay with them or vice versa. I have to say the Malaysian network is pretty active with a few of its members often organize party and gathering with the “guest” they have. One of the party they used to organized is the Durian party and its always funny to read their description of this heavily-smelled, weird textured also known as the King of fruit. Here’s what they have to say:

"Tastes like eating vanilla ice cream next to a garbage bin."

"It's like eating onion flavoured sweet custard."

"Tastes like a cross between rasberry and onion."

"It's like diluted toothpaste with vanilla ice cream and a smelly sock."

"It's like cheese flavoured ice cream."

But the classic one comes from celebrity chef, AnthonyBourdain "Its taste can only be described as indescribable, something you will either love or despise. ...Your breath will smell as if you'd been French-kissing your dead grandmother."

And guess what, he loves the durian.

I know some of you are durian addict or perhaps "worshipper" to be precise and some totally hate it.

Can you describe durian in one sentence?!

Please dont run away...

now that i have some time to breathe, i shall blog again.
