I like to Move It!

This week was pretty OK for me! Attended training at Marina Mandarin Hotel on Monday and Tuesday and I gotta say that the training was good, fellow trainees were great and the food was marvelicious! And I think I kinda put on a bit of weight during those 2 days. Morning Tea + Buffet Lunch + Afternoon Tea = Not good for body....

Was helping Law to fix his com sound problem on Thursday and Friday. Apparently, nVidia GeForce 8800 does not sit well with Creative X-Fi Sound cards.. nVidia blames Creative, Creative blames nVidia... (Just look at the forums!) and Law's contemplating a change of sound card if we can't fix it. But he bought a PS3 yesterday for Fallout 3! O_O

I've only played Fallout 1 which is a pretty good IMHO. But Fallout 3 looks great from the pics and gameplay trailer! Prob going over to his place tomorrow to take a look and marvel at the beast they call PS3... Lugging around the PS3 last night, we went to Bugis to catch Madagascar 2.

Not as funny as the previous one but I'm just there for the penguins! Who cares about Alex (the lion), Marty (the zebra), Melman (the giraffe) and Gloria (the hippo)! Penguins are way funny and devilishly evil (keep your eyes peeled for the Dreamworks SKG part at the start of the movie!)

I'm giving it 3 out of 5 in general cos some parts just kept me laughing! And I haven't caught Bond yet despite the reviews from friends!

Nanjya Monjya

As Monday was a holiday, my Japanese classmates and I decided to head down to Nanjya Monjya for dinner. This came a bit late cos I was way too tired to blog after a week of work in the office....

Monjyayaki is a type of Japanese food where you have the ingredients mixed and pour them out on a hot plate to stif today and make the pancake. 1st time round, we (actually just me) made a whole mess out of the table and had to call in the waiter to show us how to make monjyayaki properly. Then we ordered another one and I had a second go which kinda turned out ok! =)

Anyway, the food was great and it helps that there was a promotion at that time. 50% discount for monjyayaki!

People who are interested, they're located at the Waterfront Plaza beside Grand Copthorne Hotel at Havelock Road. Take bus 16 or 175 from Orchard Boulevard and alight after 5 stops.

Choice pics below. Enjoy!
