Panty Skirts!

We all know Japanese fashion has always been unique, especially the street fashion with its mixture of traditional, quirky and current trends.

However, the following few pictures were a bit over the accepted level!

I have to add that most gal-lovers would not have protested deep in their hearts, especially those with a specific kind of fetish!

Wondering if the above picture is really true?

I personally doubt it!

Apparently, this set of pictures was used back then in pornographic magazines which claimed to have a special camera lens to capture such alluring pictures.

Appearing SEVEN years ago, it's amazing that the circulation is still ongoing albeit with a different title.

These pictures were received under the title: "The Newest Skirts In Japan".

This time round, it was mentioned right from start that the panties were printed on the skirts and these are the current rage in Japan!!!

Again, I still doubt the authenticity of this email.

The thighs (real or printed) seem to gel too well, which is impossible if it's a skirt with a mere print!

Heaven's Loft @ Orchard Central

The word "heaven" incites a lot of debate amongst the believers and the non-believers. And to think that someone in Singapore came up with a place called Heaven's Loft.

Perched high up the building we all knew as Orchard Central, it has an outdoor alfresco area that overlooks the world famous green shopping belt, Orchard Road.

And that's as good as it gets.

The dessert offerings we had came from Ben & Jerry but it was at most passable.

I might have enjoyed it much better at home, sitting on my couch, watching the Taiwanese tear-jerker, 爱, and scooping the luscious, rich ice cream from its colourful tub.

Service was really bad with slow, bo-chup service although you can see the staff chatting with one another when there were at most 3 to 4 occupied tables.

Nothing against casual talk since it is necessary to keep the sanity at times!

Wrong orders and slow refilling of water despite countless reminders are just not acceptable nowadays. And the shoving of the bill to us before telling us they were closing did not help as well!

To tell the truth, besides its name, Heaven's Loft is anything but heavenly. If not for the marvellous company i had, my visit would be really unbearable!

Managed by the Happy People, i guess the people are really happy. Not sure if i can say the same for its customers.

Hair for Hope 2010

I Did It!

Further to my post HERE, 25th July 2010 has finally arrived and i have to fulfill the promise i made with regards to Hair for Hope 2010!

Reaching Vivocity to face my inevitable fate at 1.45pm, there was already a big crowd in front of the stage plus a long queue for all the shavees (yes, that's the term used for us)!!

Looking at those shavees on stage, i was, for just a slight moment, deliberating on two options; should i or should i not?

Heck with it!!

If a lady (my colleague) can do it, i can bloody hell do it better!! You can shave the other parts of my body which has hair as well!!!

I mean armpit hair by the way.

Thank you to my family (including the half-beasty sister) who came specially to support their beloved son/brother/uncle!

And to my dearest empress dowager who has always treated me as an eunuch, thank you too! I am a court official, not eunuch by the way. 

Lastly, to many others who supported me physically (Teck Wee and Sharon), mentally and even electronically (facebook, sms etc), thank you three!!  

Okay!

Now's the time where you will want to see me without hair right? Here they go with no strings attached!!

As a man, my sacrifice is seriously nominal.

The female shavees deserve a greater respect! Ms Lai is so cute without her locks! 

Those who still wish to make a donation to the Children's Cancer Foundation, please feel free to do it via their website at http://www.ccf.org.sg/.

Relaxing at Kbox

Busy Busy Busy!!

Yes, it's been a horrendous busy week and i am glad the last important event in my to-do-list is finally cleared!!!

I shall start to pull my hair again end of this year!

Being Cavin who has always craved for a stress-less life that is more than impossible in the contemporary and technological age we live in, it was suggested by the dear sister (elder) to go for a karaoke session!

It's been more than a year since i last visited a karaoke joint and boy did i enjoy singing my heart out with no regards to the horrible, creaky, out-of-tone voice coming out of the speakers!

Additional entertainment by the forever younger looking elder sister with her random, nonsensical dancing!

The above bugger was forever on her feet when she's singing!! With bloody heels!! If it's me, i will have thrown aside the shoes and sing with naked feet!

Loved the savory tidbits too!! At a compulsory two dishes at S$7.00 each, i expected it to be refillable and they were!! I could have bought loads of prawn chips, onions crisps and many others at S$14.00 lor!

Total cost was over S$70 with 4 hours of singing, 3 persons and 2 free drinks each, two dishes of tidbits, copyright charge, GST and service charge!

Next time we shall go for K Lunch.

More worth it!!!

This will be the last post i made.

Before i shave my head "botak" tomorrow!!

ARGH!!!!

Sheng Kee Hainanese Chicken (盛记海南鸡饭) @ Bedok Reservoir

Sheng Kee Hainanese Chicken

@ Bedok Reservoir

A lot of TV viewers with no cable installed at home (like me) will know of this Chinese variety show called Buzzing Cashier (抢摊大行动).

In a nutshell, there's a poor performing food stall languishing somewhere in Singapore and the stall owner(s) will be sent for a crash course under a famous chef to improve their culinary skills.

Sounds boring?

Well, the best part of the show is when tasters are invited to try the improved dish. It's game over if the stall owner(s) fails to garner enough votes! Owners who pass the taste test will be allowed to keep the sponsored signboard with the show's name on it as testament of its hardship (which is mainly due to the two hosts shown above)!

Sheng Kee Hainanese Chicken is one stall which passed the test to continue using the sponsored signboard.

That's then.

What about now?

Crazy Alex ordered so many hard boiled braised eggs!!! Please enlighten me on how different these can be?!?!?! Unless it's tea leaves hard boiled eggs!

Rice was one of the better ones i had but could do with a heavier dosage of chicken stock to enhance the fragrance.

Finally, a plate of succulent roasted chicken meat!

Let's just said this is now currently my favourite roasted chicken stall with almost fat-free meat that was smooth and bursting with juiciness in every bite!

For me, the roasted chicken skin is always the main determinant of the taste test. This won hands-down with such a thin, translucent layer of skin!

Unlike the usual plain soup with nothing but sprinkling of diced spring onions, this had bits of vegetables!

And this (above) was the main ultimatum; char siew sauce to go with the rice!! Sinful and extremely compatible with the rice!!!

Yum Yum Yum!!

Hokkiens (and i believe most Singaporeans) will be able to remember the name of this coffee shop; See Beh Ho (Very Good)! Haha.

Durians @ SCK, Geylang (opp Aljunied MRT Station)

My lovely mum decided to treat us to durians last week because of a small windfall and i happily brought her to a stall (SCK) in Singapore's famous red-light district (near to Aljunied MRT station).

I was really satisfied with the quality of the durians in this particular stall the last round and although service was not fabulous, it was at least more satisfactory than the usual stall i patronised (as shown above) nearer to Lorong 11 Geylang.

Faced with a good harvest (at least for the consumers), durians are going for as cheap as 20 cents each!!! Kaoz! That's less than the 50 cents i paid for a Chupa Chups lollipop!

20 cents only, so please don't expect a humongous sized fruit!

Anyway, it's been a long time since we last touched the insides of the all-time-favourite Mao Shan Wang (Cat Mountain King or 猫山王 or butter durian) and mommy was generous enough to treat us the S$18 per kilogram species!

One word:

Disappointing!

Seriously, we don't mind getting a haul of only 13 seeds from a 2.5 kg fruit that cost S$45 nett.

What we do mind was the quality and henceforth, taste of the durian pulp!

Granted the meat was not solid hard, but it was not that spongy soft either. If i was blindfolded, my answer was that the durian was not ripe enough!

Mostly, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys (or Durai of the National Kidney Foundation). In this instance, we paid top price and we got lousy durian. 

Damnit, i should have pushed for refunds or an exchange!
