ok. I haf been eyeing for an mp3 player for almost 3 months already!

haf always been ai mai ai mai in terms on deciding whether to get one or not. Reason? its never easy to let go a large sum of money.. esp when it comes from ur own savings. Anyway, the reason why i bought an mp3 player is because i tot it was finally time to get one (at a reasonable price of cos) and since i had some savings of abt $200 last month, i decided dat it was time!

It was really difficult for me to choose which mp3 player suits mi the best.. basically, i had many requirements that i look for in an mp3 player.

the mp3 player must be:

1. User Friendly (very impt!)
2. Light
3. Compact
4. Looks Classy
5. at least 5GB

So, wif these requirements, i managed to scan around (sim lim, hardwarezone forums, recommendations from my friends) for the best mp3 player that suits best to my requirements. well, it was kinda easy that i wanted a creative mp3 player instead of an iPod. Didnt noe what's wif iPod these days, everybody seems to haf one iPod, so i decided to stand out from the crowd and go for creative. Besides, heard alot of complains abt iPod that u can only use the program iTunes to upload ur songs and iTunes only accpet one kind of mp3 format which is quite lei chey when u wanna convert the songs to the specific type that iTunes require.

despite going to www.creative.com to check their catagolues, i couldn decide on which one to get. It was a choice between this

or this:

so which one do u guys and girls think is beta?.

Zen nano plus uses an external batt, so if batt dies, juz take out and change. Neeon uses an internal batt which cannot be taken out.. so if batt dies, sucks thumb and only can reach home to charge and listen. Also if ur neeon internal batt spoil.. and after 1 yr which warrenty expires, sucks thumb, must buy a new one. (not a new batt.. a new mp3 player!).

guess which one i chose? haha

(story of how i got the mp3 player and which one i got will be posted some other day)

watch this space.

p.s I do not work for Creative and this post have no intention of helping them to promote their products.

f|nAlly.. |+$ 0v3r! .. eh.. wait a min.

Woots. Fireworks was great! It sure ended the carnival with a great big bang! Loved the curly curly wirly wirly fireworks. Too bad i didnt take any pics.. but i do haf a video of the fireworks though.. will try to figure out how to upload them later.

Well, it sure marks the end of the carnival.. as i was enjoying the fireworks wif my gf, many things went through my mind...

1. Firstly, my future in 3SIB, will i return to 5SIR?
2. Carnival is over! ( or izzit? ) ... suspense music plays in the background..
3. I haf a day's OFF tomorrow! ( or izzit? ) /suspense music gets louder.....

Well, much to my dismay, my OC asked me to go back marina on monday.. EVEN though it was an OFF day. Cos we got some logistics stuff to settle, some metal barricades to be exact.. I asked if my OFF would be paid back another day, hai~ this is wad he said:

"An officer should not be fussy over a half day OFF "

Sigh~, wonder why this sentence kept replaying and replaying in my mind. At that point in time, i was thinking, " Hey officers are humans too and they need rest! " but i guess if the responsibility is there, i must be UPz for it! Blame Spiderman... why? cos he reminded everyone that

"With great power comes great responsibility." hai~. Sucks thumb. haha.

well gtg slp early.. my OC owes me a big one.. haha.. dash my hope of sleeping in till late. (something which i haven been doing for a really loooong time!) sucks thumb x2.

Overview of the Food i eat in Marina

Since its the last day of Marina, let mi bring u guys back on the past 8 days on the food i ate in Marina. Haha, since im on the topic on food, i might as well continue talking abt food.

Being in Marina for the past month has really been a torturing time for mi when it comes to meal times. Yes, i must admit, i skip most of the SFI food and only eat when there is pizza hut or kfc indented.. However, eating at the coffee shop is not a long term solution to my hunger problem as i almost eat the same old thing over and over and over and..... (you get wad i mean..)

This is what i haf been eating for breakfast:

Fried Bee Hoon
Carrot Cake (pics attached)
Fishball Noodles (pics attached)

And for lunch.. .... .... ... as well as dinner -_-"
-SFI! (yuck~)
-Prawn Mee (not bad, but at $4 a plate.. zzzz)
-Chicken Rice! (local delight =) )
-Indented KFC and pizza hut ( eat till i sianz, gonna avoid these food for the next 2 - 3 months)
-Extreme - when im really sick of the food in marina, i skip lunch
















Where is my garlic bread!!!!!




As you pple can see.. im quite sick of the food.. lucky today is the last day.. i doubt i will be coming to marina for a long long time.. not even for steamboat haha.. unless im being forced at gunpoint?

Marche.. Again..

okok, the main focus of this post is....

I CELEBRATED MY 44th MONTH ANNIVERSARY WITH MY GF AT MARCHE AGAIN!

well the reason why we went MARCHE again is because we wanted to try something new instead of the usual pizza and rosti. We brought dex and charl along for the company and boy did we haf fun. As compared to the MARCHE at Heeren, i feel that MARCHE in SUNTEC is much better that HEREEN in terms of food quality.. the only thing i wanna complain abt the SUNTEC MARCHE is.... NO FREE BREAD WHEN U BUY MUSHROOM SOUP!

A list of food that me and my gf ordered in MARCHE:

1. Mushroom Soup
2. Rosti (again -_-")
3. Chicken Teppan (my order.. it was nice)
4. Grilled Salmon (though it was delicious, my gf ate half only.. couldn finish zzz)
5. Potato Wedges (didnt noe why my gf ordered that cos she ate abit and didnt wanna eat anymore -_-"x2)
6. A bottle of Snapple Apple

Well, i enjoyed the food there even though charl went crazy and bought a glass of red wine that cost $12 and he only took a sip and didnt wanna drink it anymore.. haha.. forgot to tell u he is filty rich.. dad juz bought a car for his sis.. his turn will come soon, trust mi. Took a few pics there, even though i was told that no photographs were allowed in MARCHE, i wonder why haha
