Busy as a bee

Omg, it's been so long since I've updated my blog ><
Been really busy lately after settling down in my new company.
Just gotten my new laptop two weeks ago and spent about 4-5 days configuring it because there were just too many movies to catch, and Green Lantern was awesome!

Anyway, if you're wondering what laptop I got for myself, I dare say I finally gotten hold of a decent gaming laptop.

My Facebook album for Unveiling the Dell XPS 15 core i7

The Dell XPS 15 really has some extreme juice packed in it. I'm able to run Red Faction: Armageddon, Lost Planet 2 and Dungeon Siege 3 on DirectX 11 and very high settings without any glitches or low frame rates.
I am waiting to get my hands on some original titles such as StarCraft II and Diablo III.
Also not forgetting the all new Razer Mamba 4G mouse, it's so totally cool, but sadly, it's not available in Singapore yet.

If you missed out on my previous entry, I'll fill you up to-date with my latest development.
I'm currently working and residing in Singapore.
It's really cool here. The transportation is just awesome, you can practically go anywhere with their MRT and bus system here.
Food is amazing, that is really important and not to mention the best part is earning and spending here.
Things are cheap if you're earning in SGD, such as my laptop for example, it's just S$ 1,784.60, compared to the price in Malaysia which is RM 3,484.00.

Of course, after conversion you might say Malaysia is cheaper, but for those earning MYR and buying it, it won't be cheaper for them.
Let's say I'm earning MYR 3,000, I can't afford the laptop, but if I'm earning SGD 3,000, the laptop is cheap for me.

Anyway, I am really thankful to be able to grab the opportunity to work in Singapore.
It's a huge leap in my career path. The cost of living here is relatively low and if I ever go back to Malaysia for visiting, I am able to really stretch my dollars, conversion rate is 1 SGD = 2.45 MYR as of now =P

Oh yea, forgot to mention that the internet speed here is blazing fast.
I never ever experienced a disconnection here before while surfing the web or gaming online.

I'll find some other time to update again, been really busy lately with my work.
Good luck and have fun all! cheers~

Rain.Friends.Food.Lion Dance

Clouds should be given a limit to their capacity.
Not rain for 3 days non-stop giving a false sense of an impending Great Flood.

It's my second day commuting to work with mice and yes, I started my morning with Starbucks again!
Before I continue with this entry, I'll start off with some pictures of my breakfast =P

*wished Starbucks in m'sia sells bananas too*


*forgotten the name, but it was awesome!*


While making my way to Starbucks on that morning, I noticed there was a stage prepared for a lion dance performance and before long, while idling in Starbucks, I could hear that it has started.
I briefly left my laptop there and went to snap some pictures.
Hope it's not too blur because I'm just using an iPhone 3GS, it was raining, and there's a crowd.

*Dancing lions*












Soon after, it was time for lunch again. This time, mice brought me to pack the laksa that she told me about. After packing, we went back to her office to consume the spicy goodness =P

*creamy & spicy*


After lunch, I went for a little trailblazing around mice's office.
Wanted to get myself some clothes but couldn't find something which I like.
I did tried on a few clothes and camwhore a little, but no.. no pictures of that is gonna appear here.

Therefore, I only grabbed myself some Famous Amos cookies and headed back to Starbucks.
Oh yea, and I totally forgotten about the cookies till it was Saturday, lol.

*Exploring Shenton's Way, kinda*









After a few minutes of "exploration", I found myself being back in Starbucks, lol.
Am I a lousy explorer or what?
Can't blame me because it was still raining and it was almost time to meet up with mice too.

After meeting up with mice, we headed to Orchard road because we're meeting up with her friend there.
While waiting for her friend, we did a little shopping ;)

*Orchard at night*






About an hour or so, her friend finally arrived. He was late because he was searching for parking space.
Apparently, the public transport seems to be more convenient.

Anyway, after meeting up with the friend, we didn't stick around Orchard because we're going somewhere else for dinner.
Lol, I kinda pity her friend (JH from here on), because he just found a parking space and now we'll be leaving this place already.

We headed to this restaurant called Shokudo, it has the same concept as Marche.
The food was nice but we ordered mostly fast filling stuff such as rice and potatoes.. so, we didn't had the chance to try out other food. Which mice and JH both ordered the same stuff.. potatoes =.=" Lol!!
Anyway, it was a good experience. Hopefully, we'll get to come back here for round 2!

Leathery Amour, Anyone?

When it comes to leather goodies, nothing comes close to Louis Vuitton.
They make and spell l.e.a.t.h.e.r the way it should be~

Let's not bore you further with my words. The pictures shall speak for itself *winks*










Isn't it wonderful~? So, leathery amour anyone? ;)

with Me, there is always Food!!

Omg, it's Friday... and I've started to miss this place already. Actually, I've started to miss since Wednesday..
Looks like it's true that time really flies when you're having a good time.
For me, it just too fricking fast!

Continuing after my previous post. After the CSI exhibition, mice and I went straight home because the rain doesn't seem like it wants to stop anytime soon.
Once home, mice started preparing dinner. Which I'm very anxious to try it out! since she says that she doesn't know how to cook and only knows how to prepare a few dishes.
Of course, I helped out too with the Chinese-sausage skin peeling, the egg breaking, food tasting and supervising, so she doesn't not overdose the rice with soy sauce, Lol! *believe me, she tried to*

*before the rice was fried*



Nope, no picture(s) of the chef in action will be uploaded because I do not have a death wish =P
Later that night after the scrumptious dinner prepared by mice, we went to catch the Green Hornet.
It was kinda odd that they chose Seth Rogen to play the role of Green Hornet because he's more of a lame comedy guy to me. Overall, it was a good flick though.
After the movie, we went to grab some sinful delights from McCafe, which I think mine was more sinful due to the 8 pieces of marshmallow that came with it (upon my request)~ *we call it marshpotatoes btw*

*Yum! chocolates*


Well, that covers the weekend. Starting Monday, I commute to work with mice in order to experience the early morning bustle that she goes through with during workdays.
I couldn't comment much because I had her for company, all other external influences seems.. insignificant to me or rather I couldn't be bothered.

After seeing her off to her workplace, I went ahead to get myself comfortable at the Starbucks nearby and got myself a Starbucks breakfast set which is something called the Chicken Sausage, Omelette and Cheese. It comes with a tall freshly brewed coffee too.

*Good place to start a great day*



Without noticing the time, it was already time for lunch.
Headed to the nearby Korean Restaurant to get a seat first while waiting for mice to join me.
I ordered mine first and I have to apologize.. because I was too hungry~ before I knew it, I was done with my food before the thought of snapping a few pictures of it landed on my mind..
Mice ordered this delicious looking spicy Korean noodle which teased my appetite again.. Although I didn't went for second round..

*omg!! Spicy looking Korean noodles*


After lunch, I head back to Starbucks for round two. What can I say, it's tempting, and it's coffee!!

*Liquid happiness*


It was practically pouring the whole day and didn't really paid much attention at the time because the sky was kinda dark since morning.
However, I have to note that Singapore is indeed much more safer compared to Malaysia.
I could leave my laptop at Starbucks and go somewhere else to get some stuff and I do not feel worry at all. Hey, +1 to sense of security in Singapore!

Well, before long, it was time to meet up with mice for dinner and movie.
We went straight to Vivo to catch Season of the Witch.
Had a little time to spare before the movie, so we went to indulge ourselves with chocolate by the bald man at Max Brenner.

It was actually founded by two person called Max Ficthman and Oded Brenner. Although I have no idea which one of them is the bald one, or perhaps both of them are.
Still, they make good chocolate!! Therefore, it doesn't matter even both of them aren't bald~

*Chocolate by the bald men, instead of man?*






After the movie, we went straight home and called it a day.
It was great and will be writing up for Tuesday and Wednesday soon!
For now, enjoy your holidays and Happy Chinese New Year to all my readers! Cheers!
