Random Japanese Videos and lots of Sakae Sushi

Hello. Once again ..... It's time for some random Japanese videos!

Recently, lots of my friends have been sharing really interesting videos in Facebook and some of them are Japanese. Today, let me share with you some of them in case you have missed them in Facebook, or none of your friends shared them, errm or maybe you don't have a Facebook account (is that possible?).

Pankun & James make Ramen Noodles


Pankun the monkey is damn talented! I only know how to make instant noodles ...

There are lots more Pankun and James videos on Youtube!!

Baby Bear Who is Scared of Everything


So cute but feels so cruel at the same time =)

Sticking to the Japanese theme …. My Sakae Sushi adventure continues!! Armed with my new Sakae Sushi card with Sakae dollars inside, I recently ate Sakae Sushi not once, not twice but three freaking times!!!

Round 1 was with my mum at Sakae Sushi Suntec …


Because of the significant amount of Sakae dollars I had, I didn’t care about the price of the food we ordered. I just asked my mother to order anything she wanted and I did the same thing too he he. We didn’t get much sushi this time round, leaving our stomachs to be filled by the food items on the menu. First thing we ordered was Chawanmushi (a must!), then my mother ordered one of the ramen (I forgot which one sorry!) and I ordered a Yokubari Gozen bento set (nice) ... We also ordered some sushi, Soft Shell Crabs, Shisamos, Unagi Tofu and a Dragon Roll. I think the staff there must be thinking we are mad lol. We tried our best to finish all the delicious food (except for the weird tasting Dragon Roll) and almost managed to finish all. We could hardly walk after that lol.

Next round was at Sakae Sushi Wheelock Place after my Sakae Card was recharged …


This time I went with my sis after attending an IR career talk (still looking for that perfect job by the way).

Like my mom, I told my sister to order anything she wanted he he without caring about the price. As usual, we ordered chawanmushi to kick start the eating session. Because I love it the last time I ate it with my mum, I orderd the Yokubari Gozen bento again! Lol. My sister ordered Sukiyaki and we also had some sushi. I really like the Sukiyaki soup man, damn shiok.

We ended our meal with some Mochi Ice Cream for dessert but I got a shock when I was about to ask for the bill. I realized that I forgot to bring my Sakae Card!! I tried asking them if I could use my IC number or the Sakae card number but they said they needed to swipe the card …. Oh man. Luckily we didn’t order as much as Round 1 and my sis brought her credit card. It was supposed to be my treat and I was proudly asking her to choose whatever she wants, but she ended up paying for the meal lol. I have already promised her that I will pass her my Sakae card the next time she plans to visit a Sakae restaurant and she could use up all the Sakae dollars for that month he he. Sorry sis!

Moral of the story: If you want to hao lian, please double check to make sure you are able to. Malu lah me.

2 Rounds of Sakae Sushi is not enough, so I went for a third round!


Unfortunately, I can’t use my Sakae dollars for Sakae food delivery but that didn’t stop me from ordering food from that cute little green frog. Last Saturday, Donald came over to my house to play some Guitar Heroes 5 (just bought!) and my sister had a group project meeting at my house (aka the project house). We ordered a Yume party tray (containing lots of sushi), a Terriyaki chicken pizza, one of the donburi(for Donald) aaaaaaannnnnddddddd some Chawanmushi of course. Everyone were satisfied with their food and Donald and I proceeded with our “disturb the project group meeting guitar heroes session”. Lets rock!!

More Sakae Sushi adventures next time, when my card is refilled =P I ♥ Sakae Sushi!!


Back to random videos: I think in the future, instead of sharing just Japanese videos in a single post. I will gather interesting videos I see on Facebook from whatever country and post them once in a while. There are so many interesting videos my friends are sharing and I'm sure you will like them. Funny, touching, educational, cool etc etc so many kinds of videos on Facebook nowadays from friends who love to share. =) I shall call the posts ....Random Facebook Videos!!

Take it …. and Go!

7 Days of Perth: Day 2 – Graduation Ceremony and a little bit of Perth City

Welcome to part 2 (second day duh) of my “7 Days of Perth” special. On my second day in Perth, we attended my graduation ceremony held at my Uni. We walked around a lot, which resulted in me having really painful ankles. The damage to my legs got worse every day due to the constant walking around in uncomfortable shoes. More about my legs in future posts heh.

Using a map he brought, Donald used his excellent navigational skills to guide us to Regalia Craft, the place we rented our graduation attire from. We walked through Perth City and lots of shops and finally reached Regalia Craft after walking for more than 30 mins (maybe longer). I don’t think I can make as good use of the map as Donald as I am really bad with directions. Without Donald, I don’t think I would be able to go around the different places in Perth. Too used to being brought around by tour guides in the past I think he he.


The amazing thing is that after walking under the sun for so long, I didn’t sweat at all! I think I have already mentioned how much I loved the weather in my last Perth post but I will say it again and maybe again in future posts …. I love the weather here!!!! In Singapore, almost every day is a hot day and I try my best to only walk around at night. I thought I hated the sun, but I think I only hate the sun in Singapore. The excellent weather didn’t prevent my feet from being sore though heh. I haven’t walked so much in a very long time. Maybe since my time in the army heh.

After collecting our gowns from the very efficient Regalia Craft, we ate our lunch at McDonalds lol. First meal at Australia and we had to eat food from the fast food restaurant with branches all around the world (anyone haven’t heard of McDonalds? =P). It seems like they have different choices though and we all tried different kinds of wraps not seen in Singapore before. Food are placed in takeaway bags even if you eating in the store. I guess they do this so that it is easier for people to clean up before they go. Maybe they should try this in Singapore. Unlike Singapore, I think you have to pay for extra sauces. Too many kiasu people in Perth? =P


After eating, we did some grocery shopping on our way back to the hotel. We went to a supermarket called Woolsworth. You know the one which was sued by Apple for having a similar logo? Personally I don’t think they are trying to copy the apple logo and they should be allowed to continue using it. Maybe Apple should sue everyone who sells apples too …

Anywayz, we bought lots of different snacks, instant noodles and some drinks there to taste test them and fill our stomachs in the hotel. The instant noodles were okay. The names of the noodles were interesting (there is even a Singapore Curry flavour) but the taste is not that fantastic. I guess I was expecting too much from cup noodles lol. The milk shake we bought were delicious though, sooo thick sooo tasty. I wonder if they have them in Singapore. Anyone knows where to get Brownes Supa Shake??

I also saw a UFO catcher shop in the same building as Woolsworth!! You know I’m the kind of guy who can’t resist playing those machines when I see one, so I changed some coins with the cute Taiwanese shop assistant (sooo pretty) and tried my luck. I won a Mashi Maro soft toy after spending around $5!!! It was the first soft toy I won in Australia but it wasn’t my last. More about other stuff toys I won in future posts he he. Mini side quest – the UFO adventures. Guess how many I caught by the end of my trip? Stay tuned to find out he he.


After resting in the hotel for a while, we took a bus to my school for a little bit of exploring and my graduation ceremony. We went around the campus for a little sightseeing and took lots of photographs. I feel that the service standard of the bus there is much better than Singapore’s. You get greeted when boarding the bus, you get change when you don’t have the exact amount when paying cash and can even pay with big notes, you can top up your EZ Link type card in the bus itself and it is not as crowded as those in Singapore. Maybe the cars are cheap and not many people take the bus. If you happen to be going to Perth for a holiday, take the bus around and you will know what I mean. =) Not sure about other parts of Australia though.

A little research: Western Australia is sooooo much bigger than Singapore but their population is less than half of ours?

According to my friend Wiki:

Western Australia
Land Area: 2,529,875km²
Population: 2,224,300

Singapore
Land Area: 710.2km²
Population: 4,987,600

Okay … Western Australia (where Perth is at) is more than 3000 times bigger than Singapore and has less than half of the number of people. Lol. By the way, we are the third most densely populated country/region in the world. Squeeeeeze! Surprisingly, China with their billion plus plus, are ranked only 75. Maybe only the cities are crowded. Too bad in Singapore, there is no option to stay in rural areas =p

Is Singapore aiming to be number 1 lol. Woo hooo? :(

So maybe the lower density allows them take their time to serve each passenger. =P Oh well, back to school …


Because I was taking an overseas degree course, that was actually my first time in my uni’s campus lol. It is really BEAUTIFUL, with old European styled Harry Potter like buildings (and some modern looking ones) and lots of trees and flowers around. At certain parts of the school, I think one can mistake the place to be a park. Such a nice environment to study in, too bad I didn’t get to enjoy it. =(


I bought lots of stuff from this store for my classmates back in Singapore, my sister and of course for myself too. Hoodies, jackets, cups, decals, key chains etc etc …. I think the owner must be wondering why this student is buying so many things lol. =) I was acting like a typical tourist in a tourist shop and he was a happy man. I also got a prepaid phonecard there which was really useful, highly recommended for tourists. With that, I didn’t have to worry about freaking out when I see my next phone bill back in Singapore. That was actually the first time I have used a prepaid card and I will definitely lookout for prepaid cards whichever country I go in the future. Sure beats using those troublesome international calling cards and better value than using auto roaming.

Graduation ceremony was quite boring and I think I almost dozed off when they were playing some music. The place it was held in was really nice though. I felt like I was in a church heh. I was pretty nervous as I didn’t know anyone who sat around me and got no one to talk to, but I felt much better after going on stage and not making a fool out of myself by slipping or something. =P We had some refreshments after the ceremony and headed back to the hotel. Legs pain ahhhhh!!

This brings us to the end of day 2 …. Day 3 in my next “7 days of Perth” special!

Next time on the special “7 days of Perth” series – Harbour Town and Some more

P.S: Yay! Argentina won today and Newcastle United will have 2 players (Gutierrez & Coloccini) playing for them in the world cup despite being in the Championship he he. Thank you Maradona!!

End of School Life Special: Part C (My Random Presentation Slides Part 1)

Hee hee ha ha. Sorry for not posting for such a long time after I said in my previous post that I will be posting more often. I shall not over promise in the future. Since that post, I actually got an interview and a job offer but I think the job is not for me. I also got sick again =( This time I had cough, sore throat and more recently, diarrhoea (spell checked)!! I also went out a little, partied a little, drank and ate a little (okay quite a lot) and went to a IR (Integrated Resorts) Jobs preview session. I might be working at one of the first 2 casinos in Singapore next year. I want to be part of history! We shall see how it goes he he.

Okay, back to the topics of the day, my very confusing End of School Life Special …. part C1: My Random Presentation Slides!!

In this post, I will switch on my slack mode and just show you some pics of the 5 of the group project presentation slides I made (mostly). I usually customize my powerpoint presentation slides to match the topic or company the project is about, although sometimes, I get lazy and use readymade templates for the slides. The selected slides below taken from my group project or case study presentation slides are mostly the ones which I customized. Nobody wants to see those readymade templates which you can easily find right.


These selected groups of slides are the first half of 10 powerpoint presentations I will be posting. The next 5 will be shown in the next post.

1. Esprit Slides


2. Samsung Slides


3. Tampines Clicks Slides


4. Osim hPhone Slides


5. PicknPay slides


I know it’s not as good as those pros and mac users la, but nonetheless I enjoy making slides and if there is a job that just requires me to make powerpoint slides I will apply for it man lol. Don’t like giving presentations though. Unfortunately, my course and maybe future job require me to give lots of presentations. I’m more of a behind the scenes guy heh.

Nothing much to crap about for each set of slides so I decided not to say anything and let the pictures do the talking. Just SEE and GO.

5 more sets of presentation slides coming up in the next post (no fixed date) which I think are better than these early batches of slides I made!

P.S: Please note that these slides are for our school projects, and the companies mentioned are not involved in what we have included in our projects. Cheers. =P
