Elsewhere

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In this space where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it long as I can be left here to linger in silence
If I chose to would you try to understand

Ben and Jerry's


Ben and Jerry's
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Wooo, Ben and Jerry's and I go all the way back to uni days. Remember this was one ice cream that my friends and I will go all the way for! We used to live in the halls and sometime life would get really sad especially when your cramming for your term paper, so what we would do was to take a bus all the way ouf of campus to Jalan Bahar. There was a Shell petrol station where we could buy Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. Needless to say, we ate all of it in one night! My fave is "Chunky Monkey".

Thanks to Hanwei, I got to relive those days again.

Anyhow, place we very decent and nice environment, not to mention that the music was good and all the good dancers on the dance floor. The live band was really good with all that music. They rock! Am inspired to dance better, but wondering how to go abt it....

3M security glass


3M security glass
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Not sure if this is real, but if it is then I say 3M products very good ah...

"WOW...!!! That is real advertisment...!

3M the company that makes post-it notes also make a whole load of other
products.

In a recent marketing campaign in Vancouver they sought a strong
image for their security glass.

They modified a bus shelter and fitted their security glass and filled
it with REAL BANKNOTES !!
Many have tried to gain access with golf clubs and baseball bats.

But obviously the glass remains intact !

From time to time a local TV station intends to show videos of those
trying to get at the cash!! "

Road trip to Malacca


Rice Balls
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
It was pretty much a makan fiasco in Malacca. With Ben around to show us the town, we were in for a treat. First stop was the famous Chicken rice balls. They were yummy, not to mention the out of this world design. The chicken was the firm "kampong" chicken, meat was tender and succulent.



Durian Chendol
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Second stop was for dessert. While Ben had the laksa, we had the Durian chendol. Oooo... it was heaven. With a tinge of durian taste (not overpowering) and a delectable taste of the sweet sweet "gula melaka". One word - Heaven.



Benji
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Here is Benji digging into the chendol. Most of us had the durian flavoured one. Only Christine had the mango one. She does not like durian...so sad..haha.



Goreng Goreng
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Not to forget the crispy "Goreng Goreng" with its tangy, sweet and spicy sauce. Basically fired from the "yong tau hoo". Too bad we were already quite full.



Dinner at Bamboo
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Another worth mentioning makan place was the Bambo restaurent in JB. Did a pit-stop there on our way back from your week-end getaway. The paper-wrapped chicken is a defintite must - cannot miss. You should have seen how clean the remaining bones were... All in all, it was a fabulous trip of eating of relaxing and just chilling out with dear dear friends. Makantime should have been there, he would have loved it. We'll do it sometime again okay? (HAHA). Once again, we cannot thank Tingni who made all of this possible

Gotta love food.

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it...don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good.

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO ...... Cocoa beans ... another vegetable!!! It's the best feel good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. Now go have a biscuit...flour is a veggie!

I confess baby- I've neglected you and I am so SOORRRRRRY. Especially with the 7th month and the occasional showers, my babe has been pretty dirty with all the ash marks over her. Have not washed her myself for a while. So finally decided to take her to the car wash.

My dear, I promise to treat you better after the Malacca trip okay? I promise.... haha

If I could have one wish tonight
I'd wish upon a satellite
To bring me back to you
We spend our whole lives searching for
All the things we think we want
And never really knowing what we have

Be careful what you wish for
These stars are fading out.

Tic-Tac-Toe


Tic-Tac-Toe
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
We managed to pull it off. Operation Surprise. We really caught Eunice off guard this time! Haha, it was really fun organizing it and stuff. Thanks to Christine and Ben for organizing it all.

It too was an eventful day for me, getting the cake. Carrot cakes are pretty hard to come by, had to walk the whoel of Siglap, but in the end managed to find the cake at Secret Recipe. Alas, on my way to Sentosa, a cab cut into my lane and I needed to do hard braking. Guess what? The cake flew off the seat... Had to rush the cake back to the cake shop for soem emergency reconstructive surgery. Fortunately the surgeons (bakers) were able to do a good job. *Whew*

Anyway, we enjoyed the cake, Kevin and Eunice play Tic-Tac-Toe on it... haha.

Ah....CHOO!


Windows Desktop
Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Bless you. That has been the buzz word for me for a while. My colleague has been sneezing for as far as I can remember. I've shifted to my new desk for almost a year already... no more hiding in the corner. I'm sitting up front, just like in school. Wonder if my boss thinks I'm a trouble-maker, I know my teachers thought so when I was in school...haha.

Anyhow, today, my colleague decided that my desk was too dusty! And she started cleaning my desk for me...haha. I felt super bad. And told her I would clean it later, but she wiped my desk clean...oops. Think she figured that her constant sneezing was due to the dust on my desk... I must admit its kinda messy but I call it an organized mess! Ask me, I can find anything on my desk...hehe.

She should see my room...



ps. check out the flickr page on my screen!! HAHA
