Dinning At Brewerkz [Riverwalk]

Brewerkz BBQ'd Combo $ 24.99 SGD
Glutton me took a slice of Xiaohui BBQ chicken and try. Hmm... the meat is tender and taste great with the BBQ sauce. I would say it tasted much better than my steak. New York Steak $29.99 SGD
I ordered this steak to be done medium well. However, it came like it was fully done. The Meat was stiff and not juicy at all. Don't waste your money at their steak over here. Try the steak at Aston instead.

Toy Shopping @ China Square

I have heard so much about how wonderful it is at China Square for Toy/model shopping. I have always wanted to go down and take a look and Finally here I'm today! ^^
I saw this night elf druid which I really like, however, it was not sold separately but in a set of 4 for $100. Therefore, I end up buying the whole set [WOW series 2 figurine] after thinking that the deal is great [very cheap, $25 per figurine] ^o ^
After shopping, me, Candy Adrian and Jasper went to eat dessert at a nearby hongkong style dessert shop. Look at this Peanut Paste with Peanuts balls. It's THICK and Yummy!. The peanut balls are great too [Taste like little chocholate flakes when you crunch down a kit kat bar.]
Yang Tze Gan Lu [Mango based dessert] with Ice Soya Drink. Bliessfully marriage for great taste!

When we are done with China Town, we went to Plaza Sing. To my surprise, the top level of PS has been revamp with half of GV space filled with Toy/Game shops. Another surprise for me is I found this Ilidan WoW figurine at only $58 , cheaper than what I asked at China Square. [who say shopping malls products are neccessary expensive.]

This BBQ/Curry Chicken Rice with Egg is one of the nicest dish you could try when you are at PS food court.

Another dish is the Tom Yam Mee Tai Mak which Candy gave great praises. I nodded to the praises too. [unfortunatelly I didn't take a picture of it]

Combat Arms Craze - Calling All Recruits

Recently, Combat Arms has captivated my heart as well as a couple of my beloved colleagues. It has became a game that we MUST PLAY after working hours and I want to share with you guys the reason WHY ?
To begin, Combat Arms is a Free to Play online FPS [ first person shooting] game, operated by Nexon America. It was published this year and it offers an unique gaming system, where players can level up their rank as they played the game long enough, pretty uncommon in FPS game. Good news for new players, you don't need to be Super Pro inorder to enjoy some first blood in this game. The weapons given to you on default has above average power, which means you probably won't become a easy target board, powerless against the pro with better armor and equipments.
Enjoy the cool art work as you load up your game.
At the end of each game, you will be awarded with GP (In game currency). When you earned enough GP, you may visit the weapon shop to purchase some new weapons. Hopefully, with stronger firepower and reducing of firing sound with supressor, your odds of surviving the game longer would be higher.
Look at the Rank beside the IGN (In game Nick). In the begining, you are a recruit, to be bullied by everyone higher rank than you (no choice abt this, same as Army). Then subsequently get promoted to Lance corporal, corporal, sergeant, second segeant, first segeant, master segeant, Worrent officer. With each rank progression, you get a huge amount of GP and new items available for you to purchase.


Junk Flea - Here's is the most popular killing ground in combat arms. A relatively small map and games progress quickly, meaning you can rack your experience quick and enjoy the fun of killing.
See the red circle, It show that I was shot while taking this screenshot (Can't you guys have mercy on a guy with camera)
Aiming for the headshot ^ ^
Snow valley - Huge map, lots of hiding places. Snow valley is really Snipers' playground. (there are really alot of snipers in this place) Thus, if you decided to play here, make sure you have racked up enough experience to tackle those sneaky snipers. Getting a Good sniper rifle is a MUST.

NEW KILLING GROUND - Brush Wood. This is the latest Map which was updated on 11 Sept 2008.


Two Tower - Another Favourite Playground for the sniper. Look at the potential to hide yourself for a sneaky kill in this place in the screenshot below.


Cold Seed - Medium Size battle ground.

That's about it on this game,More maps to be continued...
If you are interested so far, do join me in the game. You need to register an free account with Nexon at
http://combatarms.nexon.net/Intro.aspx though.
But who cares about this little hassle in exchange for the ultimate FPS experiences.

Disclaimer ! Nexon is not my company and I am not working for Nexon.

I'm just a player, customer who feel that this is a great game that I should share the fun with everyone out there. Ladies and guys, Join the Fun ^ ^

Something you might not know about Window Vista

Something interesting which I have found out over the weekend, your window vista requires you to have 15 GB of empty harddisk space before it could run at optimal perfomance or rather acceptable performance. P.S : No wonder my com has been running like tortise. Thatá why I HATE Window Vista.
If not there's the risk that I will face problems like missing drivers should I consider to kill Vista and go back to use Window XP, I would have done it long ago.

However fear not if any of you guys face the same problem as me.
This week I have came up with my simple solution; to really give a makeover to my "tortise"computer so that it will have more X factor. Giving it a 200 GB harddisk may have been overkill, but after I realised a SIGNIFICANT improvement in my computer speed, I would say its worth it. I have also replace my RAM from 2GB to 4GB. Double Combo! and now I finally able to do something nicer with photoshop and not feel like I want to smash the PC while it shows me the hour glass icon that seems to go on forever.
Cheers X3
