If you like fishing, there are just a few places to go to in singapore. One of these places will be West Lake Fishing Village. There are plenty to do there instead of just fishing for fishes, you can also fish for prawn and there is arcade and snooker or pool for the entertainment of the entire family.
They are open almost 24 hours but you can either fish for a 4 to 6 hour time slot or get the 12 hour slots.... I tried fishing there once for the overnight fishing. It is an interesting place especially during weekends. You can see anglers using all sorts of tactics and baits just to capture those poor fishes.
You must note the time when they release the fishes from the cages as these fishes come hungry.... Everybody is busy and it is an excellent place to meet fellow anglers and exchange experiences and tactics.
Most fishes there are KIM BAK LOR... but there are some other species but very sparse.. I really nice place to hang out if you would just wanna relax and try something different other then cheonging every night.
They sell almost everything at the small shop there.. baits, accessories and rental of rods......
For the FUN n FOR the experience...

Challenger is a popular chain with a few stores around Singapore. They sell computers, computer peripherals, mobile phones, televisions, etc.
Dropped by today to get a webcam for my sister. They have quite a selection there from those "branded" ones to the lesser known ones. Needless to say there's a range of prices to suit your budget.
I found what I needed then proceeded to look for Data transfer cables... I went over and saw a whole rack of it... I didn't see the kind that I needed and asked the salesperson about it. He then pointed to the same rack I had just walked from. He made no move to walk over and show me which one.
Thinking that I might have remembered wrongly, i just took one that said data transfer... and consulted him again (I walked over to where he was) then he said... 'ya ya this is the one." I explained my purpose to him again and he just nodded his head. Then I explained how I used to see that there was a box thingy... then he gave a puzzled expression, walked away without saying anything and consulted a lady nearby. The lady replied loudly, "no stock no stock"
I very nearly bought the wrong thing because he refused to listen properly and had poor product knowledge.
This outlet is not as well stocked as the rest as it's much smaller... it also seemed like it had more LCD TVs then computer stuff...

Kobayashi is a small fast food outlet tucked away on the second level of Eastpoint Shopping Mall (near the lift lobby).
It serves up cheap Jap food (priced between $5-$14). They have plenty of one dish meals and some bento sets, along with ala-carte side orders. Their system is really like a fast food restaurant where you have to go to the counter, order and get your food immediately.
Food we ordered
Chicken Katsudon (Fried chicken with rice and egg)
Chicken Katsu Ramen (Fried chicken with noodles in soup)
Beef Ramen (Beef with noodles in soup)
Ice Green Tea
The Chicken Katsu was very crisp and tasty. The rice was soft and slightly sticky, as what is expected of Jap food. As for the Chicken Katsu Ramen, the noodles was fine. But the serving was small so my companion ordered a Beef Ramen after finishing his first bowl. They had more people then and the food became nasty. The ramen in the second bowl was overcooked and all stuck together... The beef was almost non-existent.
We paid about $20 and finished our food in under 20 minutes. It was ok but not really value for money. Good alternative if you're sick of Macs or BK...

I was really surprised that there is such a fabulous place in an area so ULU...... I was told by my dad that i could get a good servicing for my car at the AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY shop just opposite the OLD TAMAN JURONG SWIMMING POOL.
And so, I went. It was easy to locate as they had a big LOGO stating GOOD-YEAR TIRES outside their shop.... It is huge. As i drove in shortly after lunch hours, there's this really nice guy that came to ask me how can he help. So i told him i want to do servicing and he asked politely if he could help me get my car on the plateform... I was already impressed....... So i alighted and stood by my car when another service personnel showed me into a large aircon sitting area with a pantry and coffee machine. I was very impressed.
After making myself a coffee, i got myself sitted in front of the LCD TV to watch some news and there were various magazines of every topic available to view. I was happie as i am sure I will not be bored while waiting.
There was a very clean toilet and power plugs if you need to use your lap top to do some work. Shortly afterwards, one guy came in to advice me on the car. He told me how he would service my car and asked if i wanted to change the tires as they checked and found them quite bald. So i agreed and they cleaned the tire areas and portion of my under carriage. On top of that, they also balanced my tires and fixed them to perfection.
I was very happie with the intense effort they put into servicing my car. They also carry a wide variety of products such as tires, RIMs, high end wipers, car washing and maintenence liquids, etc etc etc....
For the value for money and good job they do to my car, plus the very nice environment to laze while waiting with plenty of space to move about and beverages to keep you busy, it is hard not to recommend other car owners to visit them......

New York New York is an interesting place.. The beautiful interior designs sets you in a gluttony mood. Though some might get a huge headache with the vast array of colours and designs, it makes me feel rather westerny. I like their furnitures. and seat designs. Though some people might need a little courage to eat in a restaurant LOUD like this, no doubt that, we do see queues all the time.
I was there for early lunch and was glad i could get in without squeezing or queuing... I was seated pretty near to the kitchen and i've got pretty good attention there. I ordered Ribs.... and it was delicious. The serving was enough for two and the sides were great.
The RIBS are honey glazed on the outside till perfectly glowy and the meat was tender and juicy. I had ribs from elsewhere before and lousy ones are usually overcooked with meat so dry and hard on the inside or looked too dead pale on the outside..
But the ribs here were perfectly beautiful on the outside and YUMMY on the inside... I could say they have one of the better RIBS in town.... I would say the price is quite reasonable as the servings were huge. Really good for huge groups to go out together but not so good for business lunches as you might have difficulty talking to each other without shouting. The lightings were too warm if not shining onto the customer's faces and it made me pretty uncomfortable. But for the DELECTABLE RIBS.... perhaps its worth the experience.
Very cool place with a good menu........

A few weeks back, I and my girlfriend went to the new Manhattan Fish Market at Central. This was the second time that we dine at Manhattan Fish Market, our first time was at Plaza Singapura. What drew us to this branch was the great food and of course, the Al Fresco dinning at this branch!!!
We went early (around late evening time) so that we could find a table in the small Al Fresco area. We got the best center table and were just in time to catch the sun set, although had to endure the strong UV rays as I was seated facing the sun! We ordered Fishermen's Giant Fried Platter in our previous visit, thus we decided to order Manhattan Seafood Platter this time round.
The soup was served first followed by the Manhattan Seafood Platter which the waiter BBQ-ed the cheese prawns. Basically it's more or less the same as Fishermen's Giant Fried Platter, the difference being mushrooms exchanged for prawns and the inclusion of prawns! The prawns tasted great, while rather disappointed with the rest of the items, it's just strange that the first time always tasted better than the follow up visits!
Nevertheless, the Al Fresco dinning experience was great! However, there were occasionally screams to disturb our dinning experience from those taking the G-max!
Due to the large serving of the Manhattan Seafood Platter, we took a long time to finish it as we at till night fall, I guessed we occupied the table for the longest time as we would occasionally stop in order for our food to digest and whipped out our cameras to take photographs of the beautiful surrounding. Finally we foot the bill after 2 hours of dinning, but we still failed to finish the food! ;P

Had dinner at PASTA de WARAKU at Central last friday, there was a long queue and it took almost 25 minutes before our number was called. Anyway, we seize the time to take a look at the replicas of its menu, but we still could not make up our decision on what to order. During the waiting time, the waitress offered us a cup of iced coke to quench our thirst ...
This is our second visit to PASTA de WARAKU and I ordered a yummy minced meat pasta during my last visit but I would like to try other item on the menu. Although the service is considered good, it's a pity that the tables are too small and it does not have alfresco dinning like Manhattan Fish Market.
We took quite some time to decide we shall we order. In my thought, should I order pasta again, or pizza, or Japanese curry rice??? In the end, we ordered pasta again!
I'm not so sure that we ordered a set or whatsoever, a bowl of salad was served. The salad sauce or dressing was just too sweet!!!
Soon, my order was served first!!! I order No.37 Beef & vegetable with wafu tomato cream sauce!!! Hmmmm.... yummy!!When eating pasta, of course we shall not forget of chili and CHEEESSSEEEE!
My girlfriend's order of No.34 Seafood prawn, squid & mussel with wafu tomato sauce was also served. Did not tasted as good as mine and the mussel........ dun even mention about the mussel! Of course we shall not forget CHEEESSSEEEE!
Generally, one plate of pasta in PASTA de WARAKU is already quite filling, maybe you should try it one of these days?

Finally I got to try the donuts at Donut Factory. Passed by the one at Raffles City so many times but the queue is longer than the MRT train. When I saw that there's a seperate queue for this outlet at Suntec, I was delighted!
There's a mini cafe within Donut Factory where you can sit and enjoy a cup of tea with your donut. They also has pretty interesting donut dishes. Can't recall the name, but there's one that is served with a scope of ice-cream (like how others do it on brownies) and one that comes like a sandwich with something in between and comes in a bento box with side salad. Didn't try these, maybe next time when I passed by it again.
And thanks to this cafe concept of theirs, they have a seperate counter for cafe or takeaway. But you can only buy max. of 2 donuts. So everyone in the queue bought 2 donuts each.
Now, the donuts, I've to say, there's really nothing that great about them. The dough taste like the one at Dippin Donut (used to be Vinco Donut). We tried the Hazelnut Milk Chocolate, Mint Dark Chocolate, Strawberry White Chocolate and the Glazed (which is reserved for my breakfast tmr).
The first we bit into was the Strawberry White Chocolate, it's too sweet for our liking. The strawberry tasted more like sugar cream and blended with the sweet white chocolate, its overpowering! Try it if you have a super sweet tooth, if not, try others. Hazelnut one was alright. The nut makes it crunchy and kind of compilment the soft dough. I like the Mint Dark Chocolate. Not too sweet and the mint taste is refreshing.
Overall, the donuts was just so-so. I guess its the variety available that attracted the long long queue. And also maybe due to the way they price the donuts. The more you buy, the cheaper you pay. So everyone also buy more. And when everyone infront of you buys more, the longer you got to wait for more to be baked. Even with the many staff, about 6 in the kitchen baking donuts, the queue was still long (but not as long as the one at Raffles City.) But if you aren't buying in boxes, join the cafe queue. It's faster.

Was at Suntec for dinner this day and passed by donut factory to check out the queue, and to our delightness, the queue was bearable. So we joined the queue and were served in less than 10mins. Great work! There were 2 staff taking turn to pack customers' orders and 1 cashier for the main donut queue. There were also 12 others working non-stop in the kitchen. Amazing team they have.
This time I get to buy all the flavors that I want to try. Yap, looking at the photos, I got almost all those that's yummilicious! The Double Chocolate is to die for! The filling tasted like Nutella and the chocolate melts in your mouth. Gives a great satisfaction when you bite into it. So relax... (yes choc helps one relaxes.)
I don't know what made me buy 4 of the Spicy Donuts, but I kinda regretted. It's nice, but not the flavor that I would like a second helping of. It's made up of nacho cheese I think. Guess I prefer sweet donuts.
Now, I know which are the flavors I'll get when I go back again. The Double Choc, Mint Dark Choc, Apple Cinnamon and Rasberry Dark Chco. And for the wide variety that I like, I'm increasing my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. (Also cos of the many other donuts which I've tasted so far. Other than those that's yet to have arrived in SG. Psss... I heard some pretty good ones coming next year... Yeah!)

Being beautiful has never been easier with Benefit!
Chanced upon Benefit from their website and found it at CK Tangs. I just couldn't resist myself, the packaging is so cool! I told myself I just need to get them! After understanding about the various products from the lady, I bought dr.feelgood and some-kind-a-gorgeous. These two items burnt a $120 big hole in my wallet!
After using it for more than a month now, I must say, I simply love them! The powder is so light and you don't feel like wearing make-up at all! I used to hate wearing make-up, so when I say I loveeee Benefit, I truely mean it! I don't think I'll be using any other brands anymore.
Also bought their popular blusher, Dandelion online. And I simply love love love it too! Am waiting to buy more. In fact, I want all!

I have been a Starhub MaxOnline user for many years too. Let's see...at least 7 years? It has been serving me really well, and it's so nice of them to increase their plans' bandwidth for free (then again, it could be that they are holding back their speed and giving us bit by bit).
I'm on the cheapest plan, mainly because I'm the only person at home using it. I don't know if upgrading my plan will help, but whenever I try SingNet at my friends' home, it feels faster. I believe it's the ping time. The same reason why online gamers swear by SingNet. But when it comes to downloading, Starhub seems to excel with really fast speeds.
All in all, I am a satisfied customer. But I do hope they will reduce their pricing. I admit I've been tempted several times to hop to SingNet due to their lower prices.
