The Makan Guru

Makanguru will take a hiatus for the time being and will be back asap with new recommendations! =)

ps:*the wait is worth it*

Going BANANAS!!

Bananas are well known for its vitamins..fibre...minerals...blah blah..watever you can think of~

Bananas rule!


Good for babies




Good for growing kiddos




Good for the young and old




BUT I AM GOING BANANAS!!!

Maybe i had enough of the shit...i'm finding fault with everything and everyone. I dragged myself to work this morning carrying the hopeless thought in my mind tt its a SATURDAY...No! it dint happened! I gotta wait for 2 MORE DAYS!!!! DREAD DREAD DREAD! I cant take leave this week cos i kept doing so the past few weeks..arghhhhh~~

Its a struggle between my weekly $$$$$ and my emotional unstability instability!!

i am smashed..............

Contradiction?

I dread going to work from now onwards cos my sup is bk from reservist. Argh!! How i miss those days when he's not around....Its not because i am lazy to do my work but just that my tolerance level towards him has reached its limits!

I stepped into the room this morning..here it goes~

sup (shouted across the room): "Why you are not here last friday?!"

me: "Cos its my birthday.."

sup: "did you inform anyone?!"

me: *doh!* "ya..i informed V.."

sup (looks at me suspiciously): "V didnt say anything u noe???"

sup: "next time remem inform at least 2 person.."

Its not my fault at all and why put it like as if i'm so irresponsible? Its unfair! My asst sup did not inform him when i was away..so in other words all the blame goes to me?? !@#%&@#..Anyway i am so glad tt my employment ends on 30 sept..i dont have to face those idiots anymore (i suffered lots of injustice at work!) but at the same time i'm sianz..why?


1. No $$$$ !!

2. Transport fee risk an increment (new job destination may be futher)

3. I may not get the same pay

4. I'm used to my own time own target slacky environment

5. I miss my self declared 1hr ++ lunch

6. I have to wake up much earlier in future!

7. No anime to pass time....waaaaaahhhhh

Back to history~

Its been a long time since i upload any pics..feeling darn lazy to do so.. =x

WARNING! WHOLE LOADS OF PICS AHEAD!

Drop down to chinatown few weeks back (its on a saturday)..infact i kinda miss that place, for its nostalgia..good food..slow pace environment..lolz..


Roadside stalls selling some cheap antiques *more like garang guni stuff* right behind Smith st.




Its dinner time! So its ultimately crowded, hot and stuffy...=(




But it has a pretty nice view at night!




I see more roadstalls springing up horizontally across Smith st!




An eye opener! We seldom see a caucasian hawker eh..all dressed up..*not hot meh?*




Our grandparents' favourite confectionary along Sago street and its famous for its mooncakes.



TADA!!!

WOOOOO! Who are they?? Our ancestors? @_@'''''




The neccessities the early immigrants brought along to Singapore.




Wet market in the 60s..




Popular local dishes sold like less than 20 cents at that time..now we're paying in dollars!!




Replica kopithiams during the 60s are commonly seen today...well~ somehow it feels different.




The usual die die must order dim sums...




Magazine store!




Looks interesting..i'm tempted to take..=p..oops..




The tailor shop...




It reminds me of my dad who used to tailor-made his trousers ..just like this..




Printed traditional paper bags




Let's check out the living conditions of the early immigrants..its dark in here and lots of clothings were hung up along the corridor. Its rather cramp to walk thru..roughly the length of 5 feet in width?




Argh! I find it rather scary though..maybe its too dark you see and i forgot to turn on my flash while snapping...The latrine is just next to the common kitchen. oH man!! I wonder how they can tahan...




I aint gonna wash my hands there!




The common laundry area..




Each room size is much smaller as compared to those we live in today...1/4 of ours! Imagine they squeezed in a family of 6 and above those days!!




The common living room.




The stairway...i hate this..cos i felt as if i'm gonna tumble down any moment..



TADA!!

This is me

Oh manz...since when i am artificial and mechanical??? Waahahhha! But this is cute. =D

Our Superstar

Both of them performed their best for last night's competition at indoor and i was catching up closely to see if they had their flaws exposed or any screwed ups...Great! They did well!

At the end when they were abt to announce the winner, a sudden surge of mixed feelings just poured onto me and i was darn worried. I am neutral to both finalists lah but yet its like 'Its not surprising that Weilian wins.' or 'Could there be a twist in fate tt Kelly may emerge as the winner?' Well, Weilian is the chosen one and i am indeed happy for him. That's his greatest achievement in his life!

Crudely speaking, the mass population chose him. He is physically disabled and yet he is a SUPERSTAR! Kinda ironic though... =S

Why so? Our society is so pragmatic and we chose him out of compassion or are we touched by his undying spirit and determination? Its like, we feel that Kelly should win yet Weilian also deserves the title. A so-called hollow victory yet we want him to win. I saw the shots where they interviewed people on the streets to see who they wanna support. I note this, supporters of Weilian said e similar thing:"I support Weilian cos as a PHYSICALLY DISABLED person..he can reached this far...blah blah." haiz..its really hard to judge whether he's voted out of sympathy or we are touched his performance. Is this part of human nature? I dont know, maybe i'm like them myself.

I saw this from Channel U website:
"Weilian wanted to quit Project Superstar"

From Yifeng:
"He asked me,Can I don't do this anymore? I'm very tired and scared already.There were too many photo sessions during the period. He was already on the brink of a breakdown, because there were people (in the forum) telling him to fall down etc. He couldn't understand why a singing competition could lead to such unpleasant things like this,Yifeng told us emotionally.


Personally, if he had thoughts of giving up on a competition then i dont expect him to break into the asian market. Maybe in Singapore, he can excel but elsewhere i'm sure he will feel emotionally and physically challenged. =(

As for Kelly, I am glad she have the opportunity to sign a contract with Universal Music. She's superb too! Thought she didnt get the 'Superstar' title ..i'm sure in terms of stage performance and vocals, she will certainly excel.~

Not again???

hurray~ to the new look of the month on 1st September! =D

I was having a hard time looking for suitable templates, unfortunately there aint any pleasant ones around except for this. =s *looks fine to me*

sianz...my online storage server is screwed up again!! Look what has happened to all my images?!?! =( I gotta wait till its fixed up before i can upload some new stuff..

Another 3 more hours to go for the launch of Project Superstar Grand Finals (7.30pm) at indoor stadium! Woootz~! No tickets..too bad i cant be there to support. Nvm, i can enjoy infront of my black box. =p Apparently, Kelvin's cds are in higher demand compared to Kelly's but its hard to foresee the winner. Hmmmm..personally, i'm more supportive to Kelvin because his vocals touched my heart. *serious!* Especially when he sang 'tong hua', its sooo much better than the original singer Guang Liang. Dont you think so?
