Yakiniku Daidomon

Yakiniku Daidomon is a Japanese BBQ Restaurant open since 1982. Me & XP went to their newly open United Square Outlet to try out thieir Wagyu (和牛) .

Wagyu is a Japanese Beef Cattle Breed. 'Wa' means Japanese Style and 'Gyu' means cattle. Wagyu has the softer fat which improves the meat flavour & taste. The fat in the meat has twice more mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) than traditional breeds cattle & melts at room temperature which makes Wagyu Beef suitable as part of a lower cholesterol diet.

KOBE Beef comes from a breed of cattle called Wagyu. In order to earn the designation of KOBE BEEF, the Wagyu Beef must come from Kobe, Japan.

We ordered these...Wow!! All dishes are very 'Sedap' ~ Yummy =D

Family Day 2008

Today 02.11.08 is my dad's company's Family Day. The venue of this event is located in Sentosa, Tanjong Beach.

We (me & noor) went there early in the morning, to avoid the big crowded. We took the monorail from Vivocity Station to the Beach Station.

There's a free shuttle bus at the Beach Station fetching us to Tanjong Beach.

Arriving at the venue, there's alot of ppls there already.

After getting all the goodies bag & food, we went back to the Beach Station to enjoy the sea breeze while drinking our coffee & enjoying out Lunch.

We have a nice but tiring day today =D. More photos here.

Genting Highland Tour

Early morning on 25.10.08 @ 6:30am, me & my colleagues assembly outside Golden Mile Complex to departure to Genting Highland, Malaysia.

Genting Highland is super crowded due to the oncoming Deepavali Holiday. We arrived in Genting on 2pm, but have to check-in on 4:30pm after the long-Q. haizz...almost half a day gone liao.

We check into First World Hotel, there are 2 towers in this hotel, we are staying in the Tower 1. This is a 3-stars Hotel, with the most number of rooms. There's a plaza at the 1st - 3rd storey of the hotel, the indoor theme park is inside there too. (Note to those intend to stay in this hotel, there's no face towel, no kettle provided in the room. There's a hot & cold water dispenser at the corridor)

Dinner is International Buffet at Coffee Terrace, treated by our boss =D. The buffet here have more varitey compare to the one we ate at resort cafe later. The food in Coffee Terrace is nicer too, but i like the chinese soup at resort cafe. Coffee Terrace is located at level 1 in Genting Hotel, another nice dinning place is the Genting Palace on Level 2. They serve Cantonese Dim Sum which is Halal. I like their porridge... very yummy!!

We went downhill on the 2nd day, 26.10.08. We took the Genting Skyway, the skyway ride is fun, it's half price if u remember to bring your hotel room card, valid for 2 pax per card.

There a big titbits shop at the skyway station downhill (Goh Tong Jaya), we spent alot $$ here =P.

There's a horse farm outside the station, we also took a shuttle bus to the town area. Thought of having our Lunch here, but couldn't find any Malay food here. Saw a veg farm behind some shophouse in the town, nice place...feel very relax in this town.

We check-out at 12noon on 27.10.08, but can only depart at 2pm. The journey back to Singapore is tiring, there's many accidents on the highway in Malaysia on our way back. We clear the Malaysia Checkpoint quite Fast, but was on a long-Q jam to Singapore Tuas CheckPoint. I finally arrived in Singapore at 11:30pm. Zzzz....what a long way to reach hm!! =P

So Sad!! =(

Sumthing had happen last sat, making me very upset. Early in the morning last Saturday 04.10.08, a loud boom came from my CPU, i saw many smoke coming out from the CPU & Speaker. Quickly unplug all the power socket, and all connection to the PC. Moving it to my living room, thinking that it's only the Battery problem, I try to retrieve my data from my harddisk using a USB to IDE cable. But smoke came out immediately the moment i plug in the power supply. Oh NO!! That's BAD!! Harddisk Burn liao...My data...all gone liao!! Sob Sob =(

I'm very sad now...Very lost...Data of more than 5yrs...all gone. Now my only hope is that only my harddisk is spoil, the rest of the hardware are ok. So that i no need to spend a large $$ to get a new desktop.

Waiting for good news from the pc repair shop.... *_*

#Edited on 07.10.08
Juz received news from my PC repair shop...MotherBoard & Harddisk are burnt.

2008 Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Pix

Pulau Semekau

Ever wonder what is actually an island where waste now ends up? Ash from incineration plants & non-incinerable refuse such as construction & renovation debris. Don't think it's a place that stinks like rubbish chutes we walked past in our estate. You'll be amazed by the scenery you can catch on this island.

Pulau Semekau is Singapore's only landfill & world's first-of-its-kind offshore landfill created almost entirely from the sea.

Currently, Singapore recycles abt 44% of its waste. The remaining waste is sent either for incineration or to the landfill site. B'cos of our limited land, the gov decided to build a landfill site enclosing a part of the sea off the islands of Pulau Semakau & Pulau Sakeng. Semekau Landfill start operation on 01 April 1999.

Newly built Visitor Centre to welcome visitors to Semakau landfill for environmental or geography trip.

A 7-km perimeter rock bund was built to enclose a part of the sea off Pulau Semakau & Pulau Sakeng. The bund is lined with impermeable membrane & a layer of marine clay to ensure that leachate from the refuse is contained within the landfill area & treated at the leachate treatment plant.

It’s a unique island, coexisting with vibrant marine ecosystem, mangroves, grassland & shoreline habitats. A place rich in amazing wildlife & a wide variety of plants. The island is just a 45mins ferry ride from Marina South Pier.

Semekau Landfill (SL) Recreational Area
This is the place where we'll be having a BBQ by the sea after a tour of the landfill.

Nice Scenery along the shore...

A wind turbine was recently installed in 2006 as an experiment to study the possibility of harnessing renewable energy to power Singapore's southern island.
