No Orchard Rd for last X'mas...

原來係個局？

下了決心要到Paya Lebar，怎能講了不算數？

到了Paya Lebar站，只能靠記憶的地圖與方向闖了。還好，令伯的方向感也是不賴的，摸索一下，總算找對了方向。

朝著Paya Lebar Road直闖十五二十分鐘，還好雨季的星島不至於走到汗流浹背。

哈，總算找到了！天啊，停在外邊的不是我的dream car嗎？哪有那麽巧？

進到裏邊，嘩，眼花繚亂，應有盡有，包羅萬象，目不遐給，就是超多選擇！

好，我來看看Suzuki Swift有沒有，上下左右，就是沒有咧。

而與此同時，一位鬼佬也在找車。一邊找，一邊很興奮地微笑。

哈，找到了，其實是放得高，我看不到罷了。由於令伯賺的是馬幣，當然要算一下兌換率吧！

就在算的同時，鬼佬去結賬了，還一邊給錢，一邊對老闆娘說謝謝，因爲賣得實在太便宜了！

我也不以為意，繼續算。剛好，一班阿兵哥也進來了，而一看就看中我的Suzuki Swift。

我按兵不動，但卻拜天拜地他們不要亂來，要麽令伯來個搶的了。

最後，他們總算離開了，不管三七二十一，還算什麽，令伯拿了車，直接結賬去了！

結了賬要離開的時候，外面不知幾時又停了輛Suzuki Swift。真的那麽巧嗎？都是停了我喜歡的車？

在Paya Lebar車站等車的時候，斃，給人設了天仙局！

回想起剛才，一開始的Cooper S，不是讓我熱血沸騰，購買欲暴漲的嗎？

把Swift放在高處，然後讓我找到，不是在把我推向更興奮的情緒嗎？

鬼佬的謝謝與so cheap，不是故意引導我不必多算了嗎？

阿兵哥看中Swift，不是在逼使我失去理智嗎？

而如果我還是不買，而又在外邊見到Swift的話，那難保我不會回頭將它買了吧？！

真是完美的天仙局，我技不如人，認命！

今天，放晴！

天公起身了！天天下雨，哪成世界？星岛不是很大，再下雨就要星岛沉没了！

星岛天天下雨，港岛也未曾安然无恙，海啸余震袭击港岛，鸡啼狗吠！

星岛与港岛，偏地是黄金，来得快也去得快；港岛女生天天halter上清凉，星岛女生日日mini下清爽；不失为好地方，好风景，好山水，最好还是靓音响！

买不起Red Hill的Mini Cooper S，Paya Lebar的也未尝不是为了圆个儿时小梦。

Paya Lebar，我来也！

Boxing Day...还是下雨...

天不作美，下了就快要二十四小时的长命雨！

走了整天，就是找不到RC Car专卖店！

从Fook Hai Building，到Funan，到Marina Square，到Millenia Walk，到Suntech，都找不到Tamiya RC Car专卖店！所有在网站找到的地址都作废，不是找不到，就是搬了。

是预兆吗？是天意吗？要不是下雨，令伯不直闯Paya Lebar才怪！

明天唯有拜天拜地不要下雨，好让我可以到Paya Lebar Stargek过瘾！刚看过Stargek的promotion，真是直喊冤枉，妈D，是我买的半价咧！

如果是便宜的话，妹妹的M03M Suzuki Swift便不会落空了！

还有，真是要感谢朋友跟我费了一天找专卖店！

在新旺角hae了良久，湿湿的街景很是无聊。还好有位女侍应在左近，虽然不是天色国香，无言的交流也未尝不是件乐事。

如果明天还是下雨，那只好到Red Hill买车驾到Paya Lebar买RC车了！

下雨，真是出街不成what the HELL!

圣诞节...下雨...

圣诞节，在Katong Mall对面的Aston's度过了。

与一班新认识的星岛男孩吃喝谈笑，很轻松写意，不必扭捏造作。

年轻人，可以无惧，可以无驹，大把青春，很是过瘾！

吃了，他们告诉我，其实，他们不只是吃Aston's而已。

只因，这是他们的‘地方’吧？

他们的mamak吧？

好心有好报！

几个星期前，我到星岛差馆当了几个小时的卧底。

几个星期后，我又到星岛作威。

过关前，我帮一位老伯提行李。其实只是帮他将其他更笨重的行李移开，好让他可以拿自己的行李而已。

过了关，我见到同行的美眉在关外等候。她看似等候巴士，我就好心告诉她我们的巴士就在前方，她回以甜蜜的笑容回答她在等人。是哪位无心肝忍心让伊人苦苦痴等啊？！

在Golden Mile下了车，我看似盲头苍蝇，四处张望。

那位老伯却挺身而出，原来他也是住在我住处的附近，那就让他来领路了！

毕竟六十八岁体力有限，他在第一个巴士站就无法前往。他只好口述巴士站位置与号数，然后祝我好运！

半路不到，我见到了巴士，却不见车站！好，冲啊！

可是，巴士却在双黄线停下，门开了，司机招手让我上车！哈，还等吗？冲啊！

上了车，我说Pearl's Hills，司机不懂。好，Chinatown总算知道。

哈，Chinatwon停哪里啊？我见到Pearl's Hills Terrace，兴奋狂指，原来还是停在Police Cantonment Building附近。

我看，我还是差人，而且，是好心有好报果只！

黑社會？In Singapore?!

Would we go in in one piece and come out in 18 pieces? You can go try in Vivo City.

對唔住，我係差人！

Taken in the Police Cantonment Complex toilet.

My trip to Singapore PT.3

Singapore Swimming Club was the place we played our match. The tennis courts were newly upgraded ones. How I wish we upgrade and maintain our tennis courts as frequent as required!


See how happy our players are?


After the match, I got the the rest of the day all for myself! Where else would I go other than Adelphi?! The audio haven for me! Oh, multi-orgasm!

Oh, next to Adelphi is Funan IT Mall, a centralised place for IT stuff. But it is better to visit Sim Lim for better bargains. But hey, check out the food court here, not the basement one, but the one outside. The mixed pork soup and braised pork fist are 2 delicacies I never miss to taste whenever I am there!



There is no reason for any sane audiophile not to visit Adelphi! Even if you do not plan to get anything, visiting Adelphi really makes my day! You would drool over the hi-end stuff that you could find there! Stuff that you do not even get to see in M'sia are all there!

Sadly though, hi-fi is really slow moving in S'pore now. Even the last time I came during December, the situation remained until now. They are just very conservative in bringing new products to S'pore! I asked about Stealth Audio Cable and Fisch, none them is actually known here!

Still, if you work in S'pore, SGD1300 for the Shunyata Taipan VX really shows how good the buying power really is! If you work in M'sia and wanted to get the Taipan VX, wait long long to save up lar!

My trip to Singapore PT.2

The first place we visited was Queensway Shopping Center, just across IKEA. I didn't actually know this place until those sports fanatics brought me there! I guess the best thing for Singaporean is how they centralised all the sport stuff and audio stuff under one roof! This place is haven for shoes, rackets and apparels! The price? Far lower than Malaysia even after conversion!

Some of the brands you can get here is so much varied than in M'sia, some you don't even get in M'sia! And many of the shops are more than willing to give huge discounts! I can't help but to wonder what the heck is our government doing? SGD210 for a racket which you have to pay RM500 here shows how poor our buying power is dollar to dollar!


Just across the street, you have a wonderful food court! I was browsing around and found this stall with a long queue. To me, whenever there's long queue, there's good food! So I just queue along without realising what food I am expecting. Ah, from the huge sign, I guess it's something like laksa in claypot lar.

As I come from Penang, laksa to us is asam laksa, not the curry type as the KL people would like to call. Anyway, either one is OK with me. Since the trip is paid, I asked for the SGD5 portion. Then I was greeted with a question, "Do you want 'hang'?" I said "huh?" for 3 times until I realised she's asking "si hum"!

There are more and more Chinese from mainland working in S'pore! Even the cleaners in hotel are mostly mainland Chinese. Where are all the Singaporean working actually har?


This was what greeted me on the tray, aromatic and thick curry! I can tell it's gonna be a great curry laksa before even tasting it! Indeed, very nice!


A great view of the food court during busy Friday lunch time. Hey, how come they have more sweet looking girls in their food court?! Where are all our nice looking girls? Why is it so hard for us to have good views in M'sia?!

Hey, the guy in the foreground is our first singles. A consistent and great player!

My trip to Singapore PT.1

It was early in the morning when I reached S'pore Friday and I had no idea where I was except the sky was so gloomy. Gee, looked like a storm was brewing. I guess it was like 7am in the morning. Have you ever tried checking in to the hotel but no room for you to sleep yet? I was really in need of a nice cosy bed to crash, but no room! Can't blame the hotel as we arrived in 2 tour buses! We were there for inter-country SCB Games, Malaysia against Singapore. FUN!


Instead of sleeping, we were forced to go out and find food to eat first. Just as we walk out the hotel, I saw this huge building opposite with a huge sign "Ministry of Manpower". Omigod, reminds me of Manpower in OZ where the guys would strip while they dance. Is the building filled with guys strip dancing?!


As we walk opposite, only then I realized the hotel was Furama City Centre, very near China Town. Not too bad lar the standard, room is quite cosy and bed is quite comfortable lar.


Viewed from the window of my room, I can see Hotel 81 just across the street. A popular spot for many!
