Today is the last day I will be sitting beside Mr. Stinky aka Mr. Fart Machine. This weekend the first phase of the renovation in Maybank Ang Mo Kio will commence and it's our side that must start the packing and movement to a temporary working place on Monday. One week after that I will be sitting in my new cubicle far from Mr. Scratch.

If ever I would receive a call telling me that I have won a brand new BMW car, here's the list of things I would do:
1. I'd make sure that the call was not a hoax. If it is then I'd forget about the rest on this list.
2. Since it is the real deal, I would arrange for the day to claim the prize.
3. I'd go to the church and sponsor a thanksgiving mass.
4. I'd start looking for the current market price of the car that I have won.
5. I would look for a car agent who could sell my brand new car without COE at a great deal. Yes, I'd sell it for I don't know how to drive and neither does Herman.
6. I'd start taking driving lessons.
7. Once it is sold, I'd go looking for a cheaper car and buy it.
8. The rest of the sales from the BMW I would use to pay-up some debts and maybe pay our condo in Mandaluyong in full.
9. And of course, treat friends for some luxurious meals.
10. Give out the latest iPod Nanos to my Filipino officemates for Christmas.
11. Donate a Mac Powerbook to be the major prize in our office Christmas party.
Isn't it nice just thinking about it? But then again I'm not the one who won a brand new car. I'd just have to wait for an iPod nano this Christmas and hope that I'd be lucky enough to win that Powerbook.
Keep on wishing. Keep on dreaming.
I've been reading of this newly opened food joint at Lucky Plaza along Orchard Road. Its opening was advertised at the Pinoy IT Group in Singapore and days after, people were already lauding about the great tasting food they are offering - it belongs to the Calle Real Group, how could it go amiss. The food menu was not as elaborate as that of Cafe Real, but they are a great treat for those who are simply out to run errands at LP.
So I told my Filipino colleagues at work that we ought to give this place a try; afterall, we too had trekked all the way to Millenia Walk from our Ang Mo Kio office when they opened a Calle Real at Food Junction more than three years ago. Luckily we already heard that we can call up before going there to make a reservation and even order the food so that when we get there the food are ready. Even under heavy rain and slow traffic jam, their small place is packed with working Filipinos out for their usual Friday lunchbreak.
I tried the Tapsilog and fell in love with it; it only costs S$6 including a free flow of drinks. Herman loved the ensalada included in the meal and the sago gulaman has the right sweetness. I could definitely recommend Jologs: far cheaper and tastes way better than GP, maybe slightly expensive than the grub at Kabayan but it's of a different league when it comes to the taste.
