First on the list we have jumba juice….first mistake i made regarding food was this cup of jumba juice…took me 2 hours to finish it….boy was it a tedious drink….and before i had it, i was really thirsty…=P

Make a guess where this is from (will give the person who makes the first comment with the right answer a can of coke when i get back)haha…the dish on the left is not found in Singapore. its prime ribs….dun ask me where is the bone or why its so dry…..and those round things are bagadail(someone give me the right spelling for that too to earn 1 free drink….=P)

And that’s wats left on my plate after going for a brazillian buffet at somewhere in SLC….my goodness….it sure was a full meal….haha….but kinda ex….but worth it….it made me look like this after the meal….

haha….but it is satisfying…and yes i am still full from the meal….=)….haha….

And it was thanks to todays adventure at the food place that got me to blogging about food…haha….oh well….hope you guys have great meals back in sing too….=)….say hi to the dessert stall auntie for me…=)….nitez….

God bless…

3 things that made my day…

iamnowblogging — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 09:17:02 +0000

Hey all, this is going to be a post without pictures.(too lazy to transfer pics from camera to mac)haha.but just got back from BYU, or rather Bringham Young University after a volleyball match there. Haiz…Sports in the US is just so different from sports in Singapore. Haha.It was exciting and all.From the mascot to the chants to the cheers, it was a memorable experience. Haiz.here is where i strongly encourage those who have not had a chance to try and study overseas for exchange or something just to see the difference.

Anyway, that was the second thing that made my day.haha.the first is….

KRISPY KREME!!!!

haha.i had a free day today so decided to do sumthing productive(look for the nearest krispy kreme outlet) and it was on the way to BYU.so off i went. Brought me fren there and he did not believe me that it was good. went into the shop, had the sample and he (jaw drop) say it was good.haha.well, to have a comparision, it is like donut factory donuts, except it is softer. ahah. and much much much much betta.haha…to think that i once thought that donut factory is as good as krispy kreme. oh my. it definately is not…=P

and the final thing that made my day was to do with the mac… i had more mac accessories come in..haha..got my laptop case alreadi and it is beautiful. soft suede feel and all…mmmmmmhhhhmmmmm……haha…..BUT more importantly, i managed to get all the software to work properly, such as running Parallels and getting windows to run in it and getting all the network connections to work and all those stuff..haha..took mi a full 3 nites to get it all sorted out….(crashed me mac 2 times but i tink its due to the heat and maybe MSN.)..

well that is all for me at this point of time….its 2 am and its time for mi to go zzz….will see if i can get ani pictures up in the future..do not haf much time to blog as i was busy for the past past past few nites…so to all of u guys, haf a great weekend. And God bless

p.s. car battery died too at BYU.lucky fren has a set of jumper cables and a car. =)hope that i can update with pictures soon.=) nitez

fooled….

iamnowblogging — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 05:54:35 +0000

hey hey…..macs are expensive ritez??so are laptops….so when u join an it company (or any company) and plan to get a laptop (or any thing), do the smart thing….check…..ur company may have what my company calls “employee extras”……let me tell you the story….

Not too long ago, in the state of Utah, a boy on company training arrived and desperately needed a laptop to get online. he decided to get a mac, drove 20 miles to the nearest mac shop, paid some money, took the mac home, was really pleased (k k….not really pleased but satisfied) with it.

The next day, his fren (at the company) showed him a website with these 2 magic words “employee extras” and lo and behold, another webpage with different pricing for me mac appeared. haiz. only consolation is that i got my mac instantly and the price difference was not as big as another friend of mine who got a dell. he could almost have a complete upgrade of his laptop.

To reiterate the point of the story, always check what employee extras ur company has before doing any big purchases. especially for electronics as most big companys got this kind of lobang.=)

on a side note, if you wan to mail stuff to me, my add is

wait…its not safe….haha…..email mi if u need my add….
haf a great week ahead.
