After many weeks of thinking and discussion, my niece finally has a name. Well of course she didn’t really only just get it, I am merely lat...

Finally I managed to make my way down to Orchard and bought myself 3 Japan Rail Pass tickets. I bought the ordinary 7-day passes at the price of SGD388 each. I am lucky that I managed to buy this pass at a cheap price as another agent quoted me at SGD411. So, my advise to you guys out there who is going to buy this pass is to make a few rounds of call before buying it. The price of the Japan Rail Pass is fixed in yen but because when we buy we are buying it at local currency, the price of the pass will hinge on the currency fluctuations. So the daily rate of the pass will move together with the currency market.
This pass allows me to take unlimited rides within Japan for 7 days. Since we are covering quite a few cities while in Japan, flying within the country is not a viable option to us as it can be quite pricey. So this serves as more economical alternatives to us. On top of that our traveling expenses will be capped at a certain value.

So to answer my friend’s question on how much I have spent on my Japan trip so far, this is my cost:
Air Ticket – SGD 667
JR Pass – SGD 388
Hotel – SGD 667 (for 10 days)
Total = SGD 1722
This is the list of expenses that I have as of now. I suppose the rest will be when I’m there. Perhaps I will list my other expenses in Japan when I come back later.

My colleagues and I are trying to organize some eating trips on a weekly basis (and throw Strawberry Boy's diet off balance). For this, Princess IT sacrificed her hip hop dance lesson and join us too, together with her Prince. So the first place that we hit on for some yummy-licious food is at Newton Food Center. It’s the melting pot for all kinds of local foods in Singapore.
We were quite greedy due to the fact that we are way overdue for dinner and the bitter temperature in the office make us even hungrier then usual. For that we order about 10-odd dishes on our tables, even though there are only 5 of us. No words were exchange during the dinner. Eyes, brains and hands were totally dedicated to satisfying the hunger pang within us (but who can resist tempting food in sight?).
What is an ang moh without his beer?
More glorious food
(and) more food for the hungry ones

Over last weekend went to Seremban to help Gary shift his stuff as he is now practicing in a new hospital. Met with a long-winded and calculative landlady, same stuff can repeat multiple times just like an old broken player. Not going to go too much into that, perhaps brother might post something about that in his blog.
So after shifting place we went to have beef noodle in this restaurant called King's Beef Noodle that claims to have operated for more then 40 years. We kind of believe that because the light in the restaurant was so dim that I thought they’re not doing business, very unlike most shops that I have been to. Apart from the wall tiles that don’t seems to give away the age of the shop, the rest of the things easily exhibit that they have been there long before I was born. The old working air con units to the dirty floor tiles, all are signs of ancient past me down shop. It was not our intention to go to this shop initially but because we got lost while going to another shop that Strawberry Boy told me earlier.
A picture of the signature dry beef noodle we had. Looks good?
Honestly, even though with its long historical background of this shop and the owner, I still prefer the dry beef noodle from my hometown, Kluang. I think my hometown has the best beef noodle, whether in soup or dry.

I love red. Over the CNY, I have painted my nail with red nail polish. My current nail color is this Vintage Vamp from MAC. I love the deep blood red pigment in this nail polish.
