Thai Shrimp Head Snack
Got this small packet at Golden Mile Centre thai supermarket. They carried a lot of thai snacks. This however caught my eye as I like to eat shrimps in a way. Shrimp Head can be toxic or unhealthy as most people said. However, with moderation, still ok to try. So in this small little packet which costs SGD$2.50, you can see that it contains a mouthful of shrimps head. Personally this is nice and i am amazed that it stays crispy and full of shrimp head goodness. After the frying and dried process, the flavor is still retained in this packet.

NTUC SGD$1 Truffle Potato Chips
FairPrice does offer some very good valued snacks for everyone. Many other local supermarkets does came out with their own house brands of potato chips as well like Cold Storage. Having tasted their Truffle Potato Chips, it is really not bad given for its price. Quantity is reasonable too. In fact, both NTUC FairPrice and Cold Storage very own Truffle Potato Chips are great. Of course if you want to compare both, I personally think Cold Storage ones are a little bit better. 😃

Zoom Capability of Smartphone
As I like to enjoy simple things like sightseeing, have a walk in the various park and even zooming in to ocean view. Zoom capability had been improving year by year. Before having Samsung S21 Ultra, I was having Oppo Reno 10x Zoom edition. Both devices were able to take very good zoom in image. Unfortunately, my very own iPhone 13 Pro Max is unable to take very faraway zoom in shot. Before I sold off my S21 Ultra and while relaxing in my Cruise's Balcony Room, I'm able to take a decent looking cargo ship from the wide sea. There were very good bridge camera with even better zoom capability, but no point lugging a heavy or bulky camera. One to look for is Canon PowerShot SX740 HS, but it had been out for awhile. If the next gen smartphone had quality close to those superzoom bridge camera, I would certainly get it. Otherwise, let's hope Canon would release their Canon PowerShot SX750 HS.

Whittakers' Almond Gold
Another one of my favourite chocolate - Whittakers' Almond Gold. Having almond alone is not really my best choice. Still prefer almond to be in chocolate, ice cream or in dishes. For this case, this almond gold chocolate is truly delicious and blended well. Its made in New Zealand and is kinda costly though. However, in this small packet of 12 pieces, i think it lasted me 2 days to clear the entire packet, because it is addictive. Once you had your bite one, you will want to keep munching this. 😄 Please eat with moderation.

New Breakfast Bagel from Mcdonald Singapore
Tried the new breakfast bagel and I think is is not bad. However, I will say that it is not "permanent menu" material. Bagel is normally hard, but in this case, it is soft and easy to bite, The different ingredients mixed well together to bring out the unique mcdonald taste. 😊 Cost wise is abit more pricey as compared to the Sausage Mcmuffin variant. But of course we all knows that Bagel is expensive than a muffin bun. Overall, not bad and I think can enjoy while it lasts.

Youtube Page Post and Comment
I think it is great for Youtube to have a section under the "Community" Tab to let the Youtuber posts its own posting and also had a platform to communicate with others. As for me, I will use it as a platform to post certain updates with regards to this Youtube Channel. As Youtube is under Google, it is a very good platform alongside other platforms such as tiktok. Another space to look out is Twitter, I hope Elon will release good stuffs for the world to make use of Twiiter's platform.

海南福建炒虾麵 Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee
Came here again with my colleagues to Golden Mile Hawker Center. There are many popular Hokkien Prawn Mee there, each with its own taste and texture. Today, we tried 海南福建炒虾麵 Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee and I got to say that it was good ! There is no particular size, just one standard portion. As it is nice, thats only when I felt that the portion is abit on the smaller size. Beside this stall, there is a fruit juice stall, I tried their Durian Juice as I am curious about the taste. Well, for SGD$5.80, I think it is better off to go for other drinks. Just plain sweet with not much durian flavor. Oh well.. On the other hand, my colleague went for the right choice. A good cup of Arabica Coffee right in the hawker center. There is a long queue and he really waited for at least 20 minutes. Right price and right texture. He didn't regret it and it really looks good !

Sunshine Garlic Bread Original
Sunshine Garlic Bread Original is very popular where it is selling well in our local Supermarket for many years. Taken this for years and I felt that I have to feature it here too. First of all, it is easy to prepare. Just pop in any of your conventional oven or normal toasters to heat it up. The butter or garlic butter mixture will melt and seep throughout the bread. I got to say that the portion is enough for two people. Taste wise can be comparable to Pizza Hut's very own garlic bread. The texture and looks, seriously taste and looks the same. Price should be at SGD$2.90 at the time of posting.

The Original Vadai @ Golden Mile Hawker Centre
There were a few varieties of flavors or topping with their Vadai. This time we get the dry prawn (a.k.a hae bee hiam) along with fresh prawn ones. They also will ask you whether you need chilli. As most people said that these green chilli goes well with Vadai, I personally just can't accept this way of eating. 😂 So eating both the dry and fresh versions, both were great ! They had many other combinations like chocolate also, but it is quite expensive. Best to go with the original ones, the more in terms of quantity you get, the cheaper it get. Definitely recommend this !

Don't Say never warned Overseas Online Purchase 01 Jan 2023
Again hor, don't say I never remind. I had bought in advance most of the big ticket items from 2022, 2023 and 2024 in 2022. Finance growth in 2023 as planned, will be generating lots of interest to beat whatever sick financial conditions moving forward. You can try lor, with GST increase from 7% to 8% and overseas online purchase will include the straight 8% GST from 0%. Next year will be the year to keep buying financial products and shopping. Another maturity ending in 2023 for me to move assets to other better generating revenue. Spend wisely next year ! Try to reduce expenses in 2023 and lower your debts by end of 2022.

Snow Coconut [Recommended]
I recommend getting this Snow Coconut product. Its quite costly at SGD$5.85 sold at most local supermarket, particularly at NTUC. I think Mr Coconut Large cup costs at around SGD$5.40. Both is equally good in their way. But if you want to get away from the ice cream from Mr Coconut, this Snow Coconut will be next best alternative. It contains pure coconut juice and flesh to enjoy. Quality and quantity is certainly there and this is also the formula to heal my Covid+ as fast as possible. Although during the positive days, when I drank this, I don't feel any flavor, but it really give you the kick and feel like it is healing you. Damn refreshing and pure goodness. Within the package, it provide the straw and fork, so don't have to share or use a separate spoon. Just eat and throw away. Definitely recommend this product. Not much marketing from there also.

Every Event Good or Bad - There are always a song to follow...
Throughout this covid+ experiences, this song will be the one that will remind me of this 5 days "Bootcamp". Of course, I know the meaning of this song, but definitely not related to what I had experienced. It is to symbolize that this particular had happened whenever I listened to this song. As this can be a life or death incident, i'm glad I managed to get past this hurdle. During the 5 days, I felt tried very easily, at the point of writing, I am also glad that I had gained back the strength to move on. Like every human, some uncontrollable situation is the one that help the person grow and learned that not everything can be resolved and need to move on. Don't bother reverse gear just to think back. Similarly, focused on the work and eliminate every unnecessary information that some kid keep barking at you.

Day 6 of Covid-19 Positive [+] Miracle Pill?
Nah, there is no miracle pill. As a first time covid-19 infection in my body, I got to think of ways how to recover fast ! Although our medical government did not recommend any products except for Panadol to relieve the pain or kill off any symptoms, most people recommended Lianhua Qingwen Jiaonang. Well, i bought this for around SGD$8.20 and so far taken only one pill. The recommended dosage is 4 pills each time and 3 times a day. With this dosage, this box will finish in 2 days. However, i didn't do it and I felt that there is more ways to do it. One method of doing is to spraying hot water at my face and nostrils. Drink hot water constantly and kept doing the above. With that being done, around the 4th day, the positive faded off quite well, but my sense of taste is still not back yet. Sleeping without air con and on the hard floor daily also made me realized that I am also aligning back my back posture. In the beginning, it really hurt my back, but now it had straighten up and I am able to stand straight. 😦 I guess I should be either recovered or almost reaches the road to recovery at this time of posting.

Really the best and recommended Call Recorder App for Android
In time and days, i like to write in email or whatsapp, etc. This is also a way to record and look back for information when necessary. There are also people who loves to communicate via phone call. Sometimes that person can forget what they said or "maybe act blur". This app comes into play and I had uses it for many years since the ROG Phone days, from Oppo Reno 10X Zoom, Samsung 21 Ultra to my current Samsung Z Fold 4. One fine day, someone actually call me to perform certain function or instructions from other department. After execution, he said why did I do it? I said that he was the one who told me to do it this way. Then he denied and you know what? I send this audio file to him and he was speechless ! OWNAGE !! Apparently this is available for Android only.

Ayam Penyet Ria @ Bugis
Came here to have lunch with my colleagues for a quick meal. I personally ordered the Ayam Tanpa Tulang and ordered Soda Gila. I like the chilli as it is spicy enough and to go with the fried smashed chicken. There is no soup and my colleague went to feedback that it is dry to go along with this. Haha but actually thats where they earn the extra because people will order the drinks. But of course, it is not as if we won't order the drinks. Normally at standard malay or indonesian cusine, they will give you a small bowl of soup when having Ayam Penyet. Well, taste wise is not bad. As for the Soda Gila, i think its just fanta grape. 😆

HL Milk - Dark Chocolate Edition
Another Milk product from Marigold HL milk. This time, they released Dark Chocolate Milk which costs SGD$3.30 per pack from major supermarkets. So other than Dark Chocolate flavor, it is the same "lower blood cholesterol", "Low Fat & Low Lactose" and "High Protein & Calcium" specs. Personally, I think the original fresh milk is still better. Perhaps the chocolate flavour gimmicks was just to gain the chocolate lovers' market share. 😄

The only trusted brand and hair product for Hair
Ok lar, not saying this is the best. But had been using for many years and this is one of the best I ever used to make a tidy "messy" hair. Gatsby itself is a very popular japanese brand, specialized for its hair wax or gel products. So it is a personal choice. Usually I can't find them in normal supermarket. They usually have it at premium supermarket like NTUC Finest or Xtra stores in Singapore. It cost between SGD$8 to SGD$9.

Farmhouse Cafe Latte
Farmhouse released their new Cafe Latte Milk product that is using Arabica Coffee Beans ! They had the same price range as their normal milk products. Tried and felt that milk is milk. As it is a milk product, the concentration of the milk overwhelm the coffee flavor. So yeah, it does taste with the Cafe Latte, but not the Cafe Latte that you would expect from a cafe definitely. Nonetheless still all right but still prefer the pure milk as the way it is.

New MacDonald Released on 22 September 2022
So far, I tried their Double Samurai Beef Burger and Yuzu Cream Cheese Pie. The Double Samurai Beef Burger is made with perfection, except that it is messy to eat with due to the sauces. The tier I would rank this is a A+ and should be in the permanent menu. It is definitely something that I will revisit most of the time to order this burger. As for the Yuzu Cream Cheese Pie, I felt that it is ok, but still can't beat Mcdonald's very own Apple Pie. But it the flavor are interesting, worth trying once and go back to your favourite ones. 😆

Starbucks Drip Coffee Origami Edition
To beat inflation and also reduce my cost of getting Arabica coffee, I guess i have to consider alternative solution. Lately this month, I had started bringing my own paper cups, plastic stirrers and daily thermal flask of 100 degrees Celsius of Hot Filtered Water to office everyday. For the last few days, I had been using 3 in 1 Teh Tarik or Instant Coffee to reduce buying out. Of course, I am talking about Arabica and not Robusta Coffee. The price range of those are different. So typically in a cafe, a standard black or white coffee nowadays in the city costs SGD$5 to SGD$6 a cup. 7-Eleven and Cheers had Arabica machine selling at around SGD$1.70 to SGD$3, but there is difference in the quality, but still good as substitute. So back to this Starbucks Drip Coffee Origami is priced at SGD$7.20 for 4 drip coffee. Meaning it costs SGD$1.80 per drip coffee. Adding the cost of my water, cup and stirrer, it costs around SGD$2.20 for a branded one. So just trying it out as I didn't have the time to visit Don Don Donki to grab their cheaper Drip Coffee. But will stock up soon.

Most Vulnerable Browser in the World
Based on the title, it seems to be true because of certain facts. It is the most vulnerable browser in the World, but also one of the most popular browser in the world. Many people were using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer back in the days. In today's context, there were many types of browsers for different use cases. Like Edge Browser which had been upgraded from the retired Internet Explorer, is giving similar experiences as the Google Chrome. I personally still set Google Chrome as my default browser when using it for all my internet pages consumption. No matter how bad others will said about chrome and its vulnerabilities, I think ultimately everyone have to adopt the "always up to date" google chrome update approach to always keep the vulnerabilities and securities in check. 😏

Today, it is time for a family trip to Malacca from Singapore. Got ready from my SGD$15 luggage, probably cheapest from what everyone else are using. And of course, to properly stress test my new GoPro Hero 11 Black together with the rest of my accessories. Booked two Premier Junior Suites from a 5-Star Hotel which I will also be doing a review soon. Its time to enjoy my usual Chicken Rice Ball and San Shu Gong (Jonker Street).

The cheapest Cai Fan in City Bugis Junction !
I was amazed, very amazed that I could get this box of cai fan at SGD$2.50. I had one meat, one steamed egg and potato. Furthermore it is from Malaysia Boleh Cai Fan Stall at Bugis Junction ! Food Court Cai Fan is well known to be extremely expensive. As a result from the savings, I get the Toast Box Kopi O Kosong Large. But it cost more than the cai fan at SGD$2.70 😞. But no choice, I need to survive work with 2 cups of coffee everyday. 😕

Clash Of Clan - My TownHall finally upgraded from TH12 to TH13
FINALLY 😆I had took lots of sweat and blood to upgrade from TH12 to TH13. Still maintain as a F2P player for this long term game. 9 whole years into this game is definitely not easy lar. A word of tip is to keep upgrading your attacking heroes and units as well as related army camp because this is really a grinding resources game where you need to constantly looting your enemies' base resources. From what I gauge, I think i might be staying TH13 until September 2023 before upgrading to TH14. As for Builder Base, I almost maxed out every building and wall. Hoping that Supercell will release new contents on the builder base soon. Feel free to add me as friend in-game -> #LVVYJJPL | IGN: DarkMicro 😃 and happy gaming !

Grocholl Rosti - Made in Germany
At first glance of this product in our local supermarket, it caught my eye for several weeks and eventually one day, I got to get it and try. From the look of it from the package, it sure looks delicious. I think from what I say so far, I guess most of you will know where am I coming from. Best of all, no need to store into the fridge and able to last for a very long time from their expiry date. So the final outcome is, this is really bad and does not taste like what I thought about it. Maybe an asian tongue like me do not know how to appreciate this, but I really can't swallow everything. Oh well, so what i can say is, try it at your own risk. 😰 Maybe you might like it though.

Lenovo Legion Armoured Backpack
My number 1 choice for my working backpack. Due to the nature of my job and to ensure certain items or necessary tools are always with me on the move, this backpack is able to store many of my items. There are also many secret compartment to place my emergency money or mask. Mask still is necessary while travelling on public transports and visiting of hospital at this point of writing. So I got another replacement of my same bag which I had used for more than 2 years. It started to wear off since I am practically using it almost everyday. I got to say that this bag also able to withstand lots of hit. 😞 I'm always having two working laptops, one tablet, multiple power adapters, multiple HDD, SSD and Flash Drives, Screwdrivers, basically more USB hubs, water bottles, thermal flask and so on. Henceforth my bag is always very heavy. I'm used to the weight, but this bag is fact very durable. The cost of this bag came down from SGD$120+ to the current retail price of SGD$84.55. However, my first bag, i got it for SGD$50 and this time my second bag only cost SGD$35 from legitimate source. At this price, it is definitely damn value for money as compared to bag you can get from this amount.

Fu Lin Original Fu Lin Fried Yong Tofu, since 1995
Tabao lunch from Fu Lin Original Fu Lin Fried Yong Tofu, since 1995 as all the seats were full and taken. In town, no choice as it is expensive, so price wise is quite decent. But most importantly is, the quality and standard is there. It is a good dish of Fried Yong Tofu, where you choose your own choices of ingredient there and they will cook it for you accordingly. Of course for takeaway, be prepared to pay extra for the boxes.

Singapore Formula 1 Marina Bay Street Circuit
Was at the Singapore Formula 1 Marina Bay Street Circuit restricted zone where public have to pay the tickets to get in. 😆 All right, there is a valid reason why I could get in, but that is not the point. From the sight of it when it was one day before the actual day of event, we could see every single staff was working very hard to prepare and make Formula 1 a success as usual. Tickets are still available. Grab them while stock lasts !

M&S -Food- Classic Mayo Review
Bought this Classic Mayo from M&S -Food- at Vivocity upon closing time since I am in the area. So the origin is made from the UK. To be frank, the mayo taste is very mild and does not goes well with my fried food products. To describe the taste, it is close to tar tar sauce rather than classic mayo. Therefore will not recommend anyone to get this. Of course this is based on my personal preference. You can try it out yourself. But my number 1 choice of mayo belong to Hellmann’s REAL MAYONNAISE.

Cheap and Decent Americano from 7-Eleven @ Canberra Plaza
Just nice they were running a 50% off for Hot Americano every Monday at 7-Eleven. So I am always open to trying out cheap and good deal. Original price is SGD$1.70 for a cup of Americano. So I am spending only $0.85 for this good cup of americano. I got to say that it is on par with McDonald's Black Coffee as it is thick enough. But cup is a bit small though. However, the cashier didn't know their own promotional item and went ahead to charge me $1.70. So I had to remind him and fortunately is valid before I proceed to brew my Americano at this coffee machine. 😝

Pringles Made in Japan Egg Sandwich Flavour Potato Chip
Got this from NTUC Finest under the Imported Made in Japan products section at Causeway Point. As the description goes, yeah the potato chip is still in the same shape, but it really had egg sandwich flavour from every bite you eat. It is small portion so one container probably enough for one person. But taste wise is decent, not too heavy and not too light.

BGain261 Eating House - Drink Store
Having my usual lunch here at BGain261 Eating House, a local kopitiam at Waterloo Street. There are many good food here like the famous chicken rice stall and also the cai fan stall have many good ingredients. However, today I want to talk about the drinks here. Guess how much is this Coke Light? It cost me SGD$1.90. I know some stalls selling at SGD$2.00 also and I had avoided them. But didn't know that this store is also charging close to the $2 mark. The same can of coke light, i bought them at $3.10 for 4 cans. Sometimes it is cheaper when there is a promo. Because of this, I will be avoiding them as I am currently in a "FIRE" programme.

New Ananas Cafe at Canberra Bridge
Ananas Cafe is known to sell basic and budget fried bee hoon, fried guo tiao, fried mee, fried rice and almost fried stuffs with fried ingredients to add in. They also have a small budget chicken rice stall as well as drinks stall. Whatever stall opened in Canberra, I will always support, just like I always topped up my Ez-link at Canberra Station only and not any other places. So obviously, I had to spend and support. So for my first order at the stall, I ordered Fried Bee Hoon, Fried Guo Tiao with many ingredients and also roasted chicken rice. So always honest as usual, the fried bee hoon and fried guo tiao and their ingredients were good ! It is also affordable price as well. However, the chicken rice is a little disappointing. Rice is typically just white rice like you ordered at Cai Fan. Chicken portion is ok, but I think they lose in the flavoring in it. If placing the food taste aside, price is affordable and can fill up your stomach for sure. Let's hope their chicken rice can improve since they just open not long ago since trying out this.

7 Eleven - Discounted Scrambled Egg Burger with Chicken Sausage
After a late night work, decided to have a quick meal at 7 Eleven. These microwave food really reminds me of my university days. During the night classes break at around 8pm, my classmate and I always head to the campus' 7 Eleven's to try out every bento or dinner food, even instant noodles at times. Yeah I know this is unhealthy, but also because we need to have this meals quick before heading back to our classes till 10pm. So what I had here is the Scrambled Egg Burger with Chicken Sausage. Closest I can think off is the recent Mcdonald's Scrambled Egg Burger which is very much similar to this. After the microwave process, well at a price like $2.90 and after discount, $2.25, it tasted fine. In fact, it is not that bad. You still have your chicken meat, egg, cheese and bread. At least till 9.30pm, i still have such options during the late night.

MapleStory M - New Account New Meaning
Apparently, this is not the first time playing MapleStory M. In fact, I had previously played Aran still Level 140 [Hyper Level]. However, that is using my old facebook account which I had given up on using Facebook account. Therefore, there is no way for me to salvage my old MapleStory M account and given up on the progress of my Aran character. Today, I had a crazy thought and I actually downloaded MapleStory M, created a new character using my new Apple ID account. Started playing crazily from 8am to 6pm from Level 1. I managed to spend 10 hours from Level 1 [1st Job] to Level 110 [4th Job]. I am even able to carry other low level players to beat Zakum. WTF? I think someone in Youtube achieved faster levelling to 120. But I think its pretty amazing to climb up from new account to Level 110 within a day, not even considering 8 hours. Guess I shall maintain another game account from now on. 😂
