Matthew-Reilly "Temple"

Another book that I read and found it entertaining and enjoyable. Here it is, "Temple" by Matthew Reilly.
Read through the whole book in a day and a half. Mostly being read during enrichment. I am so glad that this book is with me the whole day or I will be so bored that I don't know what will I do to "Kill" the time off.

Here's the synopsis if you are interested in the content.

"Deep in the jungles of Peru, the race of the century is underway. A race to locate a legendary Incan idol an idol carved out of a strange kind of stone. A stone which in the late 20th century could be used as the basis for a terrifying new weapon. The US Army wants it at any cost but they are not alone....

The only clue to the idol's final resting place lies in a 400yearold manuscript. Enter Professor William Race, a brilliant young linguist, who is unwittingly recruited to translate the manuscript and lead the Army team to the idol. And so begins the mission that will lead Race and his companions to a mysterious stone temple hidden in the foothills of the Andes. A temple seething with menace and danger. But it is only when the temple is opened that Race and his team discover that they have broken a golden rule:

Some doors are meant to remain unopened."

Enjoy.

End of practicum.

It's a new part of my career, to start work as a BT soon. To celebrate the end of the practicum, it's eating time again with my wife!

First stop, Subway! Been craving for it for the past weeks and since it's on offer, why wait?


Here's wifey happily munching away!~



Then it's off to window shopping... the desire to buy overcame to "view", ended up buying a new shirt for my dear and a new track pants. (3/4 length).

Then rested nearby for a while before dinner time at Shokudou. This time, it's at city hall. As compared to the previous experience, this is a better shokudou. More food varieties and the way of cooking is much much better.

Some shots of the area where we were seated.



This time round, I ordered a Japanese Fish burger. The serving is super huge. I couldn't finish eating it... Here's some pictures of it, which I don't think do justice to it.

Deary Dear ate back her favourite, Pork Shabu Shabu. The soup base is delicious!


Arghh.. I am hungry again after posting this.
Damn!

Great weekend.

It's a great weekend today, reason being I've cleared all the obs and my assignments finally! It's really time to take a break..whew!

Hence, me and wife went to Orchard~
Ate at the "Kobayashi Hangul", which is located at the basement of Cineleisure. This is a mixture of Japanese and Korean food... Food's , considering it's like a kind of budget meal for your pocket.

Here's what I ate, "Saba" fish, chose it because it's a promotion item. Lol. >.< Wifey ate "Ginseng chicken"~ As you can see, the serving is quite large for a single person meal under $8.00. Not bad, I would say.~


Munch Time!
After eating, time to shop! Went to to buy some clothes for my wife, and got myself a pair of shoes as well! Yeah! Finally a new pair! Chose a colourful design...

My new shoe! SUPERSTAR II TL DOT
Saw a messanger bag by NIKE and it seemed nice, and most importantly, the green light by my wife, so...
I Grabbed it as well!


Freebies of the day! A cap! Yeah~
(It's a actually a Promotional item after getting some clothes)
What a fruitful day! Items for me and my wife! Yawhoo~
