The Killers - Human

Posted in Music, Video, Collections, Entertainment, Lyrics, Blog on April 9th, 2009 by ahwe!

Moved by the music every time when I am listening to it.

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart…
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You’ve gotta let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we’re receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer

You’ve gotta let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Are we human
Or are we dancer?

What I eat today…

Posted in Photos, Food, Hobbies, Blog, Leisure on July 5th, 2008 by ahwe!

1. Lunch at Rong Liang 榮亮閤 @ Clementi

This restaurant (kopitiam actually) selling Hong Kong styled roasted pork, char siew, chicken and duck rice. Perhaps not the best in town, but easily one of the cheapest one. I always come here to satisfy my crave of saucy juicy char siew whenever I pass by this area.

Roasted Pork /w Char Siew Rice 叉燒火肉雙拼魬 +

I ride there with Dahon Curve D3, and with the help of public transport.

How to get there? Take bus number 30 or 51, alight opposite Ginza Plaza, walk through the Food Market is the block 725.

Rong Liang 榮亮閤 Clementi Block 725.

2. Dinner at Geylang Claypot Rice @ Lorong 33

This claypot chicken rice is really yummy. If you don’t mind the waiting time, eating by the road side, and the weird on-lookers passing by your table, if you are a claypot-lover, this is a must-try.

FMHO, this is even better than the one @ Clementi Block 328. What we have ordered:

photo-0100.jpg
Double Boiled / Sun-dried Vegetable Soup 菜干燉湯

photo-0099.jpg
Sweet & Sour Prawn stir-fried with Fresh Fruits 鮮果炒蝦球

photo-0101.jpg
and of course the Claypot Chicken Rice for 2 pax… 當然少不了瓦煲雞魬

photo-0103.jpg
Total S$41.40. Slight expensive but we guess it must be the succulent prawns that cost the bill.

photo-0096.jpg
Lorong 33 Geylang, you hardly can miss it as the shop is facing the main road.

photo-0097.jpg
Operating hours: 1130am-230pm, 5pm-12mn. Close on Monday.

photo-0098.jpg
You can place the order before you go, or else have to wait for at least 30 minutes.

Legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors

Posted in Movie, Entertainment, Anime, Blog on June 12th, 2008 by ahwe!

kungfu2.jpg

In one scene, Po wanders into the Sacred Hall of Jade Palace (where Master Oogway stored his relic collections). He is awestruck and running up to an urn and then saying “The Legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors!”. It believed to contain the souls of the entire tenchu army, then Po drops it when he is surprised by Master Shifu. The urn shatters, and we hear the cries of the souls of the army as they disappear into the air. And the cry repeats when Po stepped on the broken pieces…

Countless other jokes are scattered throughout the film, to similarly enjoyable effect. The jokes are not overdone and the memorable ending scene between Po and Master Shifu celebrates their characters. Some of the jokes regarding Po’s physical state seem a bit mean-spirited, but by the end it yields positive and purposeful results.

It’s a must watch for animation lover. Even if you don’t, you will still love the animation as a whole movie. Just like Master Oogway saying

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”

Kukup, Pekan Nanas and Ramly

Posted in Photos, Travel, Food, Blog on March 3rd, 2008 by ahwe!

We have actually planned to visit Kukup on Saturday evening because Singapore is dull just to satisfy the crave for seafood. We left our place at 530pm.

However we changed our mind after seeing a long vehicle queue at the Tuas checkpoint. Not a very good time to leave at this hour, and partly because of the fugitive, the security scan is intensive. So we went to Night Safari instead that evening. The plan of going to Kukup for seafood was scrapped.

Well, not actually. Then the next day, we had a day trip to Kukup…

Driving from Singapore to Kukup is very convenient. It’s about 1-2 hour drive away from Tuas depends on the traffic condition. Just look for the signboard indicates Pontian and there is only one way to Kukup once you have reached to Pontian Kechil. map.

pict7435.JPGpict7444.JPGpict7573.JPG

We reached the destination at 3pm. We had a leisure walk in the Air Masin Fishing Village and took many photos. For your information if you are not aware, the whole village is entirely built above the swamp, elevated by either bamboos or concrete piles. It is an eye-opening experience for a kid (not me hor) who grown up in urban city. And please do bare with the fishy and sea water smell.

pict7469.JPGpict7481.JPGpict7484.JPG

However we missed the opportunity to visit to the largest mangrove park at Kukup Island because the park is closed (5pm). So we had no other choice than booked a boat tour visit to the Kelong. RM5 each.

pict7564.JPGpict7545.JPGpict7554.JPG

We skipped the seafood here because it was still early (7pm) to have dinner. We decided to go look for nice food in other place, or town would passed by along the way back to Singapore. When we reached Pekan Nanas, I spotted this burger stall by the roadside, and the idea came into our mind - Ramly burger for dinner! We ordered few satay as well.

pict7584.JPGpict7586.JPGpict7590.JPG

Yes, we all loved Ramly burgers. Malaysia one, not Singapore. Kukup, we will be back soon…
