The Lost Symbol.

2009-11-29T18:14:00.002+08:00

Here's another book that I read recently, " The lost Symbol' by Dan Brown.. Remember "Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons"? Yupz, another book from him...Not until my friend, Keith mentioned it to me during one of our meetings, I would never know.. haha.

This is the first book that I read using an iphone! It feels a bit weird at first, as one has to click on the next page instead of flipping the actual pages... but since I don't wish to buy it, and Keith is probably still reading it now... might as well!

Nice tension, around 530 odd pages.. I didn't expect myself to read it so fast either. Anyway, there're two covers and oh.. expect another christianity stuff on these... interesting ending though as well as the codes and stuffs~

(I like cover 1!)

Synopsis:
"As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object--artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation... one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.

When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon--a prominent Mason and philanthropist--is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations--all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth."

June 15; Wife's Birthday!

2009-06-15T23:49:00.010+08:00

Happy Birthday Dear! This is our first celebration of your birthday as husband and wife! Many more good centuries to celebrate from now on as hubby and wife! Yeah!

First stop, City Hall.
Wait a minute.. what is this? Macaroni with soup?!?!

Hey hey... Mcdonalds Tea??!? (@e^*&^)*&*^)

Okok.. before anyone starts bashing me up for ill-treating my wife... This is so called a stomach-filler for the best part of the birthday programme~
Morton's Steakhouse!

Before going there... We stopped by "COACH" and of course being the birthday gal, there's certainly a present waiting for her inside...
Look how happy she is!
Look how big the carrying bag is, now imagine the bag.
Now imagine the price... Opps.*

*Coach bag is not shown to for surprise*

Then off to Morton's SteakHouse for our fine dining session!
You will be greeted by this gigantic centerpeice at the lobby of Mandarin Oriental.

Located at a hidden corner of Mandarin Oriental level 4, (*and I do mean really hidden*), the ambience and service provided there is fantastic! Dinner is served by a personal waitress who thoroughly explains everything on the menu (*Memorising*) and shows you the different cut steaks available. Any questions, just ask the waitress.

Since I had placed my reservation before turning up, the staff prepared our very own personalised menus~!
Now, let's take a look at the surroundings... the whole place is very dimly lighted but I managed to take a shot at it. This is the place where we sat. Big table, ample space.

Lots of wine to choose from! Their list is looooooong... Certified to hold the best wine here. Do try it~One giant loaf of onion bread is instantly presented onto the table once you get seated down. Yes, "Giant". Do not attempt to finish it. You will not be able to enjoy yr main dish(Entree).

When you sliced the bread, out comes the aroma of onions, very tempting to finish it all~ But like I said.. Don't.. you will puke at the end of the dinner.

Well, after a while, Here's my main dish which I ordered, "Porter's steak". Huge and big steak. Very big serving.
Too tempted to try it before taking a picture of it. Opps again*.

Here's what my wife ordered, Lobster Tail! Fantasically good! Baked to perfection! Yummy~

And guess what! Birthday gal gets a free dessert of our choice! Certainly, we ordered the Morton's house special, Chocolate cake with hot chocolate fudge inside with vanilla ice-cream from Hagen Dazz. Yummy!

Simply delicious~

Here's my beautiful birthday wife making a wish~

All and such, the servings, portion, everything was so huge that wife and I nearly puked while eating. At the end of this fine dining, another mouthful of food and out goes everything! BURPPPP~

Before leaving the restaurant, another surprise! The staff took a picture of us and printed it out, again just for my precious birthday gal~ Wonderful~ (*At that moment, I thought I was charged for it...but hey! It's free~*HHAHAHAHA)

Pose and smile~!

Overall, A fantastic dinner with a fantastic wife~
I will definitely go again with my wife again~ On another special occasion perhaps?
Happy Birthday dear~! ('(oo)') OINK!

JL.

P.S. Total spendings + Coach bag = *CENSORED*
NOTE: Mortons Steakhouse is not cheap. So's the bag. Haha~ However, it was all worth it for that beautiful smile on my wife's face~ Hope you loved the planning and everything dear~!

Rare ocassion.

2009-06-12T16:57:00.003+08:00

A once in a blue moon outing with my friends at settlers' cafe.

Surprisingly, the food there is good! Not those choppy food but it's good food. Staff is approachable if you have difficulties with the rules of the games as well.
Good place to go if you have a minimum party of 4. Lots of games to choose from.

For those who can't make it. Too bad. There's always a next time!

Matthew-Reilly "Temple"

2009-05-22T18:21:00.003+08:00

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."

End of practicum.

2009-05-09T22:02:00.006+08:00

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.

2009-05-02T22:51:00.005+08:00

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~

Too many backlogs of pictures in my D80 and my dear wifey isn't pleased I'm not updating my blog. So... here's some of it dear~.

A quick snap under the glaring sun.

DJ Min.

This is how I look after I took out the handsome suit. :(
On a certain weekend, we ate pizza! Here's the famous side dish, "spicy drumlets"!. Oh wow. It's really nice... yum yum.

Here comes the pizza! Hawaiian, which is our favourites! Slurp!

A cool chilling drink to quench our thirst, "mango with sprite".

On another weekends, its on to Vivocity! Tried the "Whitedog cafe" there. Lunch is better. They have set meals there, which is cheaper than the normal ala carte items.
Wife decided to order the breaded dory. Looks yummy! Only the serving is small...

Me, on the other hand, who loves burgers, ordered their white dog burger to give it a try. (This is expensive item, no set lunch included). It tastes good. The beef is very filling after this meal.
Do give it a try if you are a burger-fanatic.

Then, It was on to shokudo! The 'Marche concept. You walk in with a card and order everything on your own. Like a food court. Food wasn't that great and it's kinda expensive but the setting is nice, so here's some pictures of the exterior loacted at Somerset.

What fun weekends we have! Just love going out with my wife~

2009-03-21T09:07:00.005+08:00

Located at Wheelock place, there is this cafe-restaurant called the "BIG-O". Wifey and I went there just to try the Spike-D. *Drool..droool***

So...what is "Spike-D"?.
Basically, its a durian sponge cake with its top covered with chocolate smoothness... Mmmm....
Give it a try if you are a like durians. It's really good.

See how smooth the chocolate is?

JL.

Bugis walk-about.

2009-02-22T00:34:00.005+08:00

Finally completed most of the assignments, I could finally find time to go to town area! Since chilli pumpkin and I had a 1-for-1 seafood harvest voucher that could be used, we decided to go to Bugis!

This place is actually a franchise of Jack's place. More "fish" than steaks... nonetheless, i still went ahead and tried the sirloin steak.

Chilli pumpkin, however decides to try the crayfish and steak combo! *Oooo... huge appetite..*

*A pose for the camera* before we start eating...

After eating and shopping... we decided to go to the bugis eatry alley for some desserts before we go home... here's "Ah Chew desserts". Do try it out if you haven't been there before. The desserts were splendid!
The main imperial entrance. (happen to sit next to the table... and just shot it)

Another pose for the camera!

Okay! Time to stop snapping and start eating! Honeydew Sago was great! Maybe you might find it weird but try it with chocolate ice-cream!
Yummy! Slurp!

2 books to recommend.

2009-02-05T21:53:00.002+08:00

Been feeling very stressed about my workload... decided to read some books to relieve stress.
Chanced upon these two of these books and found them to be interesting.

Matthew Reily : The seven ancient wonders & the six sacred stones.

Thrilling adventure stories.
Fast paced.
Highly recommends to those who love 'indiana jones' adventures.

Here's the sypnosis of the seven ancient wonders.

"A legend of the ancient world decress that every 4500 years, a terrible solar event will wreak worldwide destruction... but whoever sets teh Golden Capstone atop the GreatPyramid at Giza will avert disaster and gain the ultimate prize: a millenium of world dominance..."

And here's the sypnosis for the six sacred stones:

"A mysterious ceremony in a hidden location has unlocked a catastrophic countdown to Armageddon. Now, eighteen months after his heroic bid to save humanity from an ancient curse, supersoldier Jack West Jr. and his loyal team of adventures must find and rebuild a legendary device known as "The Machine". The clues to their mission can be found in the fabled Six Sacred Stones, but the team must go on a wild race around the globe to find the relics... even as the deadliest ememies they've ever encountered threaten them at every turn...."

Remember to read the first book before the 2nd one... as they are interwined...
Enjoy.

November 27 2008, Thursday!

Today is my 过大礼 ~THis is one of the Chinese customs where the groom(me!) is supposed to bring the bethrodal gifts to the bride's(Her!) house~

Gifts include the dowry (cash$$) , Mandarin oranges, "four pieces of gold", liquor (wine), cakes, pastries, etc etc...

Here are some of the pictures for a better understanding~

Being the photo-enthusiast as we are, we just couldn't resist taking some photos of ourselves with the gifts.~

2008-08-26T00:51:00.005+08:00

Click on the picture to enjoy the simple SLIDESHOW that i've created~

Woot~

My Super Duper Nice wedding pictures!

2008-08-25T19:30:00.007+08:00

Waited and waited.. finally got a call from precious moments!

All i can say i was very very pleased with the designs of the photos. It looked fantastic with the all the design layouts. A pity that they couldn't burn the designed copy for me and my wife as it was copyrighted, else i will be sure to share it here~!

Nonetheless, we got back the RAW pictures in soft copy. (They will be making our hard copy printouts into a mini album~)

Here's some shots.(Low-resolution)

Wohoo!

Relaxing.

2008-08-20T20:14:00.006+08:00

Went swimming with dear quite a few weeeks. Quickly snapped a picture of her while the lifeguard was 'eating snake' as i did not know if photography was allowed in the pool. Haha...

So there you are... a picture taken with a normal handphone camera.

Beautiful model with a beautiful scene.

Took these pictures of my flower when it bloomed.

Very close-ups. . . Enjoy...

JL.

Happy and Carefree~

2008-08-11T01:43:00.003+08:00

2nd attempt at taking jumping shots as there are limited places where the model can jump and jump without being seen...
Though the picture quality is not as clear as it seems, i do like the expression on her face; so carefree, like there's no worries...

Would have been better if the backgrd for this jump is at the beach. (Think of clear blue sky...)
Should play around with my camera settings to get the most effective freeze movement.
Jiayou Jialun.

Potrait photo shoot.

2008-08-06T20:32:00.010+08:00

Learning how to take portraits shots... thus the simple greenery plants as the background.. another thing i liked this picture is that the shirt catches my attention...

...and yes... she's definitely the one my mother warned me about.. and i love every bit of it... hahaha!

Stop - Freeze Time.

2008-08-06T20:23:00.004+08:00

Capturing the moment when sugar is added to tea. I love the way the sugar crystals (solid) interact with the tea (liquid).

"Freeze! I said. "Freeze!"

And time stood still for just that moment...

JL.

Picture of me. . .

2008-08-06T00:30:00.002+08:00

. . .yet again. . . Am i boring you with all these pictures of me?

I just wanted to showcase one of my friends' photography skills.

He took this picture at a spur of the moment... after some processing, i think it turned out great!

Thanks GX.

"Borrowed" the camera from a friend and quickly took a picture of myself once i found myself a mirror. I am so wanting to get one DSLR now.

Formula One Car.

2008-08-04T00:02:00.005+08:00

Chanced upon this exhibit of the car during the 'Natas Fair' and took a picture of it.

Was lucky that there were not much people walking to and fro at that time.. else i would not have this nice picture of this F1 car.

Self Potrait

2008-08-03T23:55:00.003+08:00

Took a picture of myself while walking along a pathway in a Sunny afternoon.

I know i don't look great... but it's not that bad either...

Err...Right?

Children at play.

2008-07-30T01:44:00.004+08:00

I snapped this at Vivocity while trying out the zoom function.

Note to self : "If i were to own a dslr cam... i should invest in one decent telephoto lens or at least having the ability to borrow one from my friend."

Desserts at Bishan was simply amazing. It never fails to soothe my throat everytime.

Yum~

Took this picture inside a back of a bus. I guess the shakiness of the bus made the whole lights thingy go "up and down". But it gives the effect of speed i guess.

Shadow at play.

2008-07-14T16:15:00.003+08:00

Here's one picture i took recently.

The weather was super hot, thus a quick snap, followed by iced water~

2008-07-07T00:15:00.003+08:00

Took this photo by accident while messing with the shutter button.

Quite suprised that it turns out nice.

Can you guess the story behind this picture?

Rubiks part 2

2008-07-01T21:34:00.002+08:00

Here's a video of me solving a rubik's cube....yes i know... i'm slow... but nevertheless.. i understand the logic behind it (Alogrithmns) and i'm more than happy that i solved it aniway.
Yeh~

Thank you for wasting approximatly 2 mins of yr precious time...

JL.

Fun with Rubiks.

2008-06-29T01:29:00.003+08:00

Been obssessed with Rubik's cube lately...I'm proud to say... I Finally solved it!

Not exactly as fast as 45secs.. but im glad to say i can solve it a rough estimation of about 5 - 8 mins..

Yeh.

On the Highway.

2008-06-15T00:59:00.002+08:00

Even during the event of traffic jam on the highway, i just simply couldn't resist taking pictures.

Woot~

Just a view from far.

2008-06-08T04:36:00.004+08:00

Camera's optical zoom is still Ok-able... Prefered more wider shots though.

JL.

Never letting you go.

2008-06-05T15:33:00.004+08:00

I was just plain bored when i snapped this picture as there are not much nice scenery to shoot. Went back and uploaded into the comp. After tweaking with the contrast and such, realised that it turned out to be quite nice.~

I like it!~

Architectural

Taken in Paya Lebar Post Office building...

Notice the similarity in the National library building i shot earlier?

Hmmmmz...

Paranomic View at Vivocity.

2008-05-28T04:18:00.003+08:00

1st attempt to take a paranomic view using a normal digi-cam.

I think it will be better if i were to use a tripod...Hmmmz...

JL.

Is this real?

2008-05-28T03:49:00.002+08:00

The sky in this picture is definitely not photoshop-ed. Saw this piece of "art" and was lucky enough to have my T2 camera with me. Although it's abit blur (because of the digital zoom), i still feel happy that i captured it. This sort of thing doesn't happen twice i guess.

Hope i can buy a DSLR camera in the future. In this way, i can take superbly clear night shots. Wohoo~

JL.

Zoom Factor.

2008-05-20T02:30:00.001+08:00

Tried out some "zoom" shots in a car. Will try to take "zoom" shots more out in the open field.

Maybe while cycling? Hmmmz...

JL.

Architectural pics...

2008-05-19T16:13:00.006+08:00

for the day. All pictures are taken in Singapore... Looks likes there's still plenty of nice architectural buildings waiting to be discovered...Will post more of these photos if possible. :)

JL.

Name the flower?

2008-05-15T20:05:00.003+08:00

Another round of close-ups. If anyone knows what type of plant/flower is this.
Let me know. Thanks.

Jumping Series

2008-05-09T22:34:00.003+08:00

Jump jump jump... wish my T2 can catch this type of movement in greater details~

Whether its the picture quality or the model's pose, i feel it still looks good aniway~

More jumping series soon.

Montone Photos.

2008-05-08T21:46:00.002+08:00

Decided to play around with my camera. Took some pictures using only black and white effects.
Looks not bad!
