Ok here’s what I’ve been up to lately. On Thursday lunch, some of the Nuffies decided to drop by Pizza Hut Pavilion to try their new 6-cheese pizza. It’s loads yummy!
The people at Pizza Hut were telling me how they took quite a long time to perfect this formula and to have it suit our local taste buds and I think they’ve managed to really get this right. I hope they keep this on the menu for a loong time.
There were quite a number of us so we ended up splitting into 3 different tables. Here’s Nic Davis with the girls.
Me with some of the other girls on the other table.
And Nic Chay, Robb with the rest 🙂
Over the weekend long Deepavali weekend, I heard a lot of Malaysians were heading down to Singapore and a lot of Singaporeans coming down to Malaysia. I was one of the former. I had to go down for some meetings I had to attend. So yes, it was unfortunately a little bit of a working long weekend for me. I did manage to catch up with some people though.
Caught up with Kenny, Xiaxue and some other friends for lunch at this peking duck restaurant in Paragon.
Ming was really proud of it and he was telling me how it was much better than the peking duck we had in Beijing itself.
It was good. I’m not sure if it’s just us but we never seem to be able to find good food in Beijing. Everything there is always really oily or served cold. Â This duck though was good!
It was crispy and the meat was really tender.
Had some other dishes there too like the usual sweet sour pork and all and that was great. Kitteh went shopping with Xiaxue for the rest of the weekend while I worked and did other stuff. Before I knew it though, we’re all set to go back to KL, the weekend was over. We packed our bags, including Kitteh’s proudest addition to her luggage. Her pink polkadot Hello Kitty bag.
A very nice reader of hers apparently helped her buy it from Taiwan. I wanted to share a bag with her for this trip to Singapore but she insisted she carry an additional bag so she could use this pink bag. It became a little bit of a burden though. When she found out she had to check it in, she panicked and she asked the staff to mark it as fragile.
That’s right, a LUGGAGE bag with nothing but clothes in it marked as FRAGILE not to protect what’s inside the bag but to protect the pink bag it was.
Then when we were walking around the airport I accidentally kicked her bag. At first she just let out a soft “Heeeyyy!”, then it registered to her that she was using her new pink bag and she repeated her “HEEYY!!!!”, only louder and in a lower more angry voice. Okay now that I’m done talking about a girly thing, let me share something for us geeks!
When I was over at Ming’s place he showed me his Limited Edition version of Starcraft 2. It came in this really nice box that opened up like that.
Inside there was the game, a DVD on the making of the game, the soundtrack and a comic of it.
Plus it came with Jim Raynor’s dog tag which was actually a USB flash drive. Loaded inside the drive was a full version of Starcraft 1.
And Ming also managed to get this poster of Starcraft 2, signed by the lead designer of the game.
People were apparently bidding for this Limited Edition of Starcraft 2 up to the tune of S$500 per copy. Ming though managed to get it for much cheaper.
Ming described Starcraft 2 as a game that took geniuses to conceive and make. My Kitteh though would beg to differ I’m sure. She’ll call it a game that destroys relationships. Hee heee.
