Aligning... 0.9999994%

OooOoo... Christmas came early... my mummy bought me a watch on Tuesday!

There was this uber cool Christmas sale @ City Chain. For those who want to get a watch or are intending to get one for a friend, do visit City Chain with discounts up to erhmz... I'm not sure how many %... I think the highest I saw was 50%.

There are also selected watches which are sold for more than 50% discount, and unlike sales where selected items are limited, there is actually a wide variety of watches to choose from this category. Like my watch from Solvil et Titus for S$129...


Yupz... I patronized the CityChain branch located @ the new extension of Northpoint in Yishun.

Other branches:

A note of advice... apparently... different citychain stores seem to release different models of watches... differentiation to prevent store cannibalism arh? Business students...? Econs peeps?

Yesterday, I wanted to put in a new battery for a watch which was given to my dad by my uncle. So my mum and I decided to go to the CityChain store @ Compasspoint in Sengkang. The sale has drawn large crowds to the store and I had to go over to Vincent Watches to change the battery instead.

Anyways... when I was pressing my nose against the glass windows showcasing the watches @ CityChain, I realised some of the models present in the Sengkang branch were not present in the Yishun branch.

I saw a few other watches which were really nice and resonably priced, but considering the fact that my watch was a gift from my mun, nothing comes close to beats it even if it's from Tissot or Tag Heuer... MUAHAUHA.

After which, my mum and I went to have lunch @ Curry-San. It is a japanese fast food chain or sorts and I have been thinking of trying out the dishes there, especially my favourite Katsu Curry Chicken!! My mum had teriyaki chicken don... and our review of the chain...

1/2 stars out for 5 stars

Haha, the half star was given because their service quality was really good. This old lady dropped one of our potato wedges and returned with 2 pieces in return. The cashier also did a good job in recommending certain dishes to us and offering us options which were more value-for-$$.

The Katsu curry was really terrible, the sauce... ultra saltish with a slight tinge of spicy-ness. The rice was hard to chew and the potato wedges we ordered were placed in a weird and small cupcake holder and were over-spilling.

My mum's teriyaki chicken mini don was served in a bowl but they did not offer chopsticks. My mum had to use a pair of spoon and fork to navigate through the small bowl.

To be fair, I think it's because my mum ordered a mini don, that's why her meal came in a small bowl. Also, I didn't exactly approach the staff for a pair of chopsticks, they might have had a pair of chopsticks somewhere for my mum but we were simply too lazy to request for a pair.

Ok, enough ranting... Will blog again another day... Haha...

Aligning... 0.9999993%

Ok... it's time to recount an old joke...

One evening, my best friends (Zhi Jian and Vincent) and I went for supper. We had a craving for carrot cake but were contemplating on whether to get the white... or the black carrot cake...

So, Zhi Jian the genius suggested... "Let's get half black half white since we can't decide..."

And I believed... walked up to the store... "Uncle, ban hei ban bai (half black half white)..."

He gave me the... hello boy... I'm running a business... don't try to be funny look... and told me... they don't sell that!

Uber embarassing....

But today... i shall have the last laugh... my sister found a post on a webbie... which has confirmed... the existence of this yin-yang dish... and i proudly present to you all...

Aligning... 0.9999992%

I made a reconnection with my past yesterday evening, grabbed my water bag and went for a run from Punggol to Khatib!

It has been a long while since I've ran, and I'm glad I went for one yesterday.

More than merely calories were burnt away, various thoughts which were burdens to my heart and mind passed on as well.

Nothing beats having a refreshed mind and a still heart to face the challenges of life!

More importantly, it is time to dig into God's word and live a life in accordance to His will and befitting of a Christian believer.



It is a great time for us to contemplate and share the true meaning of Christmas as it draws near.

The birth of a Saviour and King who changed the course of man.

His death on the cross has forged a bridge to eternal life, and subsequently, as He rose from the dead, He became the cornerstone for the reconciliation of man with God .

A relationship with Christ endures the test of time and a relationship with Him, whose promises have been faithfully fulfilled one after another, is indeed worth holding on to and trusting in times of trials and tribulations.

As we sing carols and bask in the atmosphere of the Christmas festival, I urge everyone to contemplate on the true meaning of Christmas and realize the importance of the day which our Saviour was born!

God bless! =)
