New McDonald Menu

The release of their new Satay Chicken Burger, Coconut Flurry and Iced Thai Milk Tea. Well, Satay chicken not to my liking, so i will pass the judgement. Coconut Flurry is ok only, not like the Mr Coconut standard. Iced Thai Milk Tea tasted like medicine. 🫥 So yeah, not that fantastic for this release.

3G Network is history coming 1st Aug 2024

Goodbye to 3G service and actually most of the users were already on 4G and 5G. So it is not really a problem anymore. But i felt that Telcos should focused on most of the blind spots that 5G still couldn't detect even when they market like 99% coverage, its really still a marketing gimmick. 

Paylah! Starting Aug 1st to End of 2024 $3 Cashback

As the title referred, DBS PayLah! is providing $3 cashback for the first 75000 people who uses PayLah! payment from participating merchants and hawkers on Saturdays. Its nice that they do it for the community. 😃

ICA to stop Saturday service from Sep 2024

As above, ICA will stop physical services at its ICA building from Sept 2024 onwards. That will stop all related services at their physical building on Saturday, which you can visit every other day during weekday. Most are using online services and especially for passport related services, most are collecting at Post Office. So it is not really a hassle lah for the most powerful passport in the world.

Roxy Square finally put up for Collection Sale

Ok lar they finally waited for the MRT to be bulit before putting up for collective sale. Regardless how much, they might probably earn due to the location. Had many childhood memories to head here for their LAN shops,  steamboat sessions and printing shops back in the 1990s and 2000s. Well i wish them good luck and hope for the next building to be alot better than Parkway Parade.

Segamat Zi Char for 10 pax

Went back to Kampung Segamat. I got to say that the Zi Char here is top notch and price is really really reasonable for 10 pax, other than the dishes, we have several pots of chinese tea and many plates of rice. Overall damage is only RM199. It is really very affordable and i can't wait to stay more days in Malaysia.

YouTrip had upgraded again !

This is really a very nice piece of upgrade where many people actually feedback on this online and offline. This indeed promote more people to use Youtrip for all their travel needs and for existing users, we are more than happy to see such useful function for us to better manage our cash.

Tempesr Rising RTS

Looks like there are good news for RTS fans. Tempest Rising is like Command & Conquer but like an improved version in 2024. Think its only out for limited time now, so better try it while its available.

$5 million Singaporean Dream Draw Again

It is here once again. Coming 2nd August 2024, it is time to strike the top dream again. Looks like everyone need this to get out of the rat race. It is getting more and more unbearable. 🤯

Segamat Best Roti Canai

One of the best Roti Canai in Segamat, Johor, Malaysia. The last time i ate here is six years ago since i had not went back due to covid19 and other committment. Fortunately, the portion is bigger and the standard is still consistent. Love their dough of the Roti Prata as the Kosong version give the original texture and taste. Still as crowded as ever even we reached at around 7.45AM.

Blue Screen of Death | Microsoft Siao Liao

Alamak its causing the world into chaos and most are using Microsoft Windows OS. As it is due to some cyber security issue, Microsoft will also be in for a hard time. Even IT Support personnel were not spared and had to come out with BCP to carry out the operations of the business. Let's hope this will be solved asap and can prevent such incidents to happen ever again.

Low Bid at latest suburban land bid.

Unfortunately, low bids doesn't mean cheaper properties' price. Developer will still want to make profit. Its abit far towards Canberra MRT, but staying here, this location is still ok. For those who wants to buy, will still encourage you to get here as amenties are there in the area. Not that much problem in this area. But i can't comment much for the Jurong one.

Giant Hypermarket at Sembawang Shopping Center Closure

Oh no, it is one of the supermarket that i usually go for my new year and christmas shopping because it is big and sell more stuffs than the other supermarkets. The spacious 4D shop is also good and accessible as this mall is quiet and peaceful. I guess i will miss this and hopefully a bigger and better tenant will take over.

Generation Coffee at Tekka Market

Came here again for the second time after a year ago. Coffee is still solid and affordable in a hawker setting. Ordered Ice Latte and really enjoy the coffee. Hope more and more such concept is implemented in more hawker and keep the price low.

NVIDIA Breakthrough

Well, i really really hope its true, since i had already enter some time back and it is going well. AI is currently still the future worldwide and we have no other better choices, but to get trained and train AI.

Cannot anyhow post AI Video on Youtube Monetization

Better not anyhow post AI video on Youtube that is faking other people's face or voice. Beyond this restriction, i guess still possible to post other AI generated content on youtube. I'm just waiting for Sora to be out before going full-fledge on this.

Mr Kim Korea BBQ Lunch Buffet [Halal Edition]

We went to Mr Kim BBQ Buffet at Clementi to celebrate for the end of this reservist cycle. Well, the standard rate does not have much variety of choices but at least you still can spam their meats. Of course with an additional $6.90, you can select more seafood option. But we stay with the standard buffet and enjoy it. 

Koufu at Millenia Walk closes down

Was at there last week and noticed that it is already closed. Seeing the closure, seems that it is not for any reno, but closed for good. I will miss the claypot curry chicken as it is of decent quality. Eating hot food need to be at the aircon places. Actually last time last year, most of the stalls were already empty, so not surprised.

Foong Kee Traditional Charcoal Roaster

Foong Kee Traditional Charcoal Roaster is really popular in Commonwealth Crescent Food Center. During my time there, there will always be queue there. I also joined in the queue and took about 20 minutes to order and picked up my plate of roasted pork and duck. Price is reasonable and it is really good. Chilli Sauce is just average. Overall, i will give this a 7/10.

Liang Liang Carrot Cake at Commonwealth Crescent Food Center

Tried this carrot cake from Liang Liang located at Commonwealth Crescent Food Center. This is one of the best carrot cake in this area. Price is ranging from $3, $4 and $5. They do sell white and black version, but no mixed version. So i only tried the black version and got to say that it is really good. Probably give it a 7.5/10. 

Saboten Re-Opening at Millenia Walk 06 July 2024

Came to have this without queue at the earliest slot possible to avoid the crowd. There are 50% off for selected mains. Many people came especially after i leave the place, queues were starting to form. Quantity is really good here as some of the items were unlimited flow. Well meat were not the top notch quality this day, unlike what i ate last time. So quality is quite average and wasn't the best. But still value for money. At least i get a $10 return voucher for my next trip since this is a normal promotion across all branches.

Samsung Galaxy Ring?

Before the release of new products by Samsung, it is good to mention that the price of gadget had risen in value, but still dropped the fastest in value as well. The thing is whether these gadget can stay relevant and provide a lasting benefits to the user. One must consider lah since the price is so called equal to a budget phone. 😆

Want to release Helium Balloon in SG?

Well, thinking of releasing free-flying Helium Balloon in SG? Better read up first before doing it ! According to CAAS, releasing of balloons up into the sky will affect flight. If you still think you want to release? You will need a permit and need to apply for it. Was trying to release balloon for a personal event, but i read up first. Alamak really cannot anyhow release one.

CHATERAISE PREMIUM YATSUDOKI @ MILLENIA WALK

Finally came to get all the speciality [Not really all but the oven section] at one go. I only know there is one Chateraise Premium at this location at Millenia Walk. So what i got are the Fuji Apple Premium Japanese Pie, Gateau au fromage, Premium Leaf Pie and Hokkaido Red Bean Paste Mochi Pie. In fact, all were well baked, but i guess really need to eat it while it is hot. Total Damage: $19.50.

Yosakoi Japanese Food Alley at Clementi Ave 2

Went to one of the Japanese restaurant at Clementi. The name of the restuarant is Yosakoi Japanese Food Alley. It is a simple yet traditional Japanese setting that offers affordable japanese food prepared by Japanese Chef. We had garlic tonkotsu ramen, tonkotsu ramen, gyoza and chicken karaage. Food is affordable and of good average quality. One of the best place to chill since it is in a ulu place. Offers many options and sake option as well.

Kim Dae Mun @ Concorde Hotel

Walk past this store for many years, but this time really made the effort to eat there. I think this had been around for many years and used to be very crowded. Price of the food had certainly went up over the years. However we tried the stir fried pork + the Kim Chi Soup with pork, quality is just not there. Quantity is below average as well for its price. Guess we will skip this in future.

Mariners' Corner Restaurant at Sunset Way

Chanced upon this retro western restuarant while checking out what to eat for lunch in the area. It is established in 1984 and currently the 3rd gen is managing it as a family style restaurant. Its concept is a little like jack's place with the typical sets serving garlic bread, soup of the day, coffee or tea, dessert of the day with the chosen main course. Depending on the different days, some selected mains are served only on that particular day. So i got their grilled fish or fish and chips, upgraded mash potato to french fries. It was not bad and it is a nice place to chill by if you like to have peace.

Ippudo Holland V

Well, as ippudo had attained their first one star michellin. However it is not at this outlet at Holland V. I was expecting some standard but it is lower than expected. Meat isn't very fresh. Soup stock was not as thick as well. But i'm ok at the current price. I think there are many better ones at this price range. So not recommended.

Japan New Currency Circulation

From effect today onwards, Japan will be circulating their new currencies as above. Don't really know the reason why they do so, but at least need to know if you are receiving the right notes when travelling at Japan or changing them at your local money exchange. Guess i will be seeing them often next year. 😊

Mr Coconut increasing price due to ingredient cost

So don't always say GST increase, then rise only. Without GST increasing, costs are also going to rise up further and further due to many other factors. My regular large Coconut shake is always at $5.70. Probably my last drink to enjoy at $5.70. Not sure how much further they are going to rise further. They probably rise faster than my salary. 😔

The rise of Nvidia due to AI

Well, its not that Nvidia is rising without any reason. It is due to the rise of AI as well. As long AI is here to stay for the future, Nvidia will grow as well due to demand. Hence it is valid or natural for me to even have a pie of it. I am slowly accumulating Nvidia shares as well. I think it is worth investing for the future if we believe in it. So don't say i never say ah.
