Signature Koi | Lychee Gin Fizz

Signature Koi also known as the most expensive and premium version of Koi Bubble Tea offers alcohol menu. They had been out many years now and I had tried some time back. It had been at least a year I last tried and went to order their Lychee Gin Fizz for $9.90. I got to say that the drink is really great. It is similar to what we usually order from Pub, but at $9.90, it is worth your every penny. Can't wait to try out their many other drinks from the alcohol menu.

Japanese Apple Juice Imported from Japan

Got 2 cups of Japanese Apple Juice at Isetan Nex @ Serangoon. To be frank, $12 for 2 cups of Apple Juice is kind of expensive. However, after you drank it, i immediately said that it is worth it. The sweetness of this apple juice is out of this world and i asked the person whether did they add sugar? They said no and its due to the natural sweetness from this japanese apple. Try it while they are still there.

老伴豆花 Increase Price...

Last month when i bought at Causeway Point Woodlands, it was still selling at $2 each. Just bought 2 days ago at Bishan MRT Station this time and now it is selling at $2.20 now. So even you include 1% GST increase, it should be 0.02 cents increase instead of 10% increase. But everywhere is increasing at more than 10%. So how? Better not eat already. Sigh....

Carousell fined $58k for data breaches in 2022

Carousell fined $58k for data breaches in 2022. Probably why i had been getting more and more spam calls and messages all these years since i had an account with Carousell for more than 5 years. What to do? I think equal responsiblity when you decided to use the platform, so no choice gotta absorb the damage. If one is scare, then don't sign up anything. 😄

Median Resale Price of 5-Room Flat risen the most in Canberra, Sembawang Central

Basically, Sembawang is no longer "Ulu", especially in Sembwang Central, call Canberra resale prices have risen the most since 2019. Being one of the proud owner there, I am really happy. However, I have no plan on selling off my flat to make the profit. It is in fact a nice cosy place, less crowd and have enough amenities to get your essential stuffs. From my place, I am also able to see Northpoint since I stayed at the highest floor. 😜

Simba New Broadband plan at only $20 a month is a big steal !

Simba is launching 2.5Gbps fibre plans at $20 per month. It will be one of the cheapest broadband plan with a decent 2.5Gbps speed. Its really a nice thing, but it doesn't mean there is no con on this. We will know only when it rolls out in the public. Because i am using their SuperMY Mobile plan and network had not been fantastic to be frank.

Forgot to renew domain is crazy from a popular website

It is crazy that if such a popular website's domain is not renewed and after it expired, this will be scary. Even my unpopular website, i will tend to renew once it is close to expiry. Do remember to renew your domain before it expires, or else someone else will be able to grab it.

JB for Durian Feast

Had been visiting frequently at JB particularly at KSL area for durian feast. So often that I bumped into working colleagues there as well. The price of the durians there are quite affordable as compared to Singapore. So I will spend a little more on the premium durians like Red Prawn Mao Shan Wang. I am very much craving for Black Thorn Durian which is the most expensive on their list but it is always sold out. Can't wait to visit KL next month to order Black Thorn. But also depends on the season. So hopefully i will try it and share whether if it is really worth it?

Nowadays writers talk a lot of Common Sense Nonsense

How to raise low-Maintenance Children? Anyone can also write or relate to this. Isn't it obvious? Everyone wants to give their children the best life to achieve better future than themselves. Saying its easy, everyone are able to say this. It is either writer have no children or he or she say for the sake of saying. 🫤

[Nespresso] Limited Edition | Infiniment Gourmand and Espresso

The gold colour packaging one is good when i tried. Hazelnut with a little vanilla added. Use 2 capsules + Hot Steam Milk to make one perfect cup. Yet to try the other one. And one more raspberry flavour is out of stock currently. Will get it when the stock comes in.

[Budget 2024] SkillFuture Credits TopUP

This is nice but unfortunately, not for me who yet to reach 40 years old. $4000 is really a nice value to learn something useful for the mid career. I would rather they lower the mid career age to 35. Think they only giving $500 top up for my skillfuture credits this time.

Ms Durian Review

If you are looking for a durian cake, look no other than Ms Durian. After trying many other durian cakes, i think this MSW Durian with Whisky cake is simply the best in SG. As there is alcohol, not recommended for children, but of course they have the non alcohol edition as well. Except for the top part, the rest of the cake is 10/10. Like the packaging and two mandarin oranges too since it is ordered during CNY. The MSW durian inside is authentic and quantity is good. Highly recommended for all to try.

On the verge of quitting Langrisser, BUT....

Yeah had shot a video to roll 5 x 10 times summon on the new hero. My plan is if i do not get the hero at 5 times roll, i will quit Langrisser officially and delete the app to be more concentrated effort on the other mobile games. But quite rare that I got it on the 3rd roll. So will still be maintaining effort for this game. In fact, this game had been surviving for quite long. Let's see how. Probably will have another roll half a year later.

New 500 bus Multi Storey Depot

Wow unexpected ! I thought they might actually convert this area into the new Simpang Township. But ok lah, this kind of depot will test the land weight sia. See can support or not. Hope it will not affect the sound of the residential nearby around Canberra Area.

Committing the same mistake every year....

Forgotten again and again not to eat at food court. Was thinkjng to have a simple meal at the food court while ordering Jumbo Seafood for lunch later. Had Carrot Cake at Ion Orchard food court. Initially i order for the $8.80 carrot cake which is already pricey enough. But when paying with a $50 bill, the person asked me whether i had 10 cents, i said nope no coins with me. She then returned $40 back. Thinking that aiyo why $10 ah? I asked and immediately got scolded that CNY Day 3 still have 15% extra surcharge. Only then i calculate and realised that it is $10.10. She actually waived off 10cents. Ok lah, think next year need to take note on this.

CNY Day 2 Dinner

Had our CNY dinner at Canberra Plaza when it opened fully during CNY day 2. Had a good bowl of Ramen and snacks. Think they didn't charge extra CNY costs during this period. Thumbs UP !!

CNY can be stressful. Why?

Yeah lah. CNY is stressful because of relative's mouth. Getting that ang pow wasn't easy because will get silly questions. It is just like KPI review during CNY. If never hit KPI, those people will often question you why this and why that. CNY supposed to be a happy thing lah. Just keep it easy. Everyone is different. Just be yourself and upgrade soon. Happy CNY !! :)

Lao Ban Nian Cai Fan | Fish + Fried Chicken

Ordered from Lao Ban Nian Cai Fan near my workplace. Ordered one fish + fried chicken and of course drenched my rice with curry sauce. How much does it cost today in Feb 2024? This cost me $8.80. Sometimes the price varies depending on who is the server, so price really kept changing and have no standard pricing even though sometimes they stated it.

Haha Samsung S24 Ultra Malu

Its getting all the negativity when most people reveal and unlock all the problem of the newly launched S24 Ultra. I understand the fact that not all titanium is the same, but it clearly shows that it is of lower quality when you compared with its competitors. Not only the material but the entire camera system is a total downgrade at flagship cost. Good luck to those who bought this. This also revealed many youtuber that are sponsered are lying through their mouth. 😄

Happy to my Wife ! Prepare Whisky Durian Cake !

As both of us love durian and like taste that are heavy, i am trying this Whisky Mao Shan Wang Cake for my wife as it is her birthday today. A cake that takes 5 days to make from scratch. I hope it is good. Will share more and review in the next few days :)

More and more of such news isn't good

Each day we are seeing such news which is not good. Most people are out of jobs and are looking at lower salary jobs, but cost of living are rising alot. Not a good trend, but still got to find ways to but bread on the table. I guess one have to grabhold of what they have and hope for the entire situation to improve. Not sure how long this trend will continue.

KOI Quarterly Vouchers for both Gold and Diamond Members

Not only birthday vouchers, but Koi also provides occasional vouchers for other drinks specific 1 for 1. Tried their Lychee Aloe Vera is refreshing and nice. But suggest to add at least 25% sugar. Because i always opt for 0% and this drink really need to have at least a little bit of sweetness to be nice.

Shiniin Taiwan Street Snacks @ Canberra Plaza

Finally it is opened, and i immediately supported it by getting two XXL chicken. Really nice and consistent. Hope it stays that way. Mee sua and other dishes, i'm not really a fan of it. Just need to enjoy their big chicken cutlet. Must eat it when it is hot and request for more spices. It will be perfect !

Retrenchments more than double the numbers in 2023 from 2022

To add on to the complication, either more people will have no jobs or have to accept lower salary for a quick job. To make matter worst, prices of almost everything are rising. Making us have to fork out more money for less. To be honest, last time a $5 meal will keep me full. Now it takes $10 to make me full. Thats the difference...

Tech companies are laying off like nobody business

In the past, we only thought that banks are the top layoff business in the world. Ever since tech became popular in the recent years, many who join tech companies also see highest number of layoff numbers. It is a thankless job, when they need people to expand fast, they hire. When all is done, they reduce the numbers very quickly. Thats the problem. IT is always a thankless job. You help people, you get scolded. What to do? Better to change line quickly.

4th Single MBS Tower in Singapore

I mean it is good for both the company and the country, so why not? At least it created jobs for more people regardless of local or foreigner. It is also considered as one of the iconic building in the world when Singapore travel is mentioned. So i am definitely supportive of this and hope to try it one day.
