Katong Food Haven

Waraku Restaurant, Heard of it before? Its a franchise of a japanese restaurant, supposedly a cheaper version... My 1st time there today too...


Just went today with my dad for lunch, supposedly was going for the beach road prawn mee but dunno y we ended up there.. lol... Its somewhere near Katong mall.. There are actually a cluster of restaurants in the area.. Theres a Hongkong tea house, a korean restaurant and theres Waraku...

Nice food, cheap price, I guess its not bad, just that the waiters there kept on repeating Arigato Gozaimashita so much so that they should have just put a cd on repeat mode going over the same lines.. But, I must say the service is rather good.. Just that they dont have ramen today!! WTH... Go all the way they for their Ramen and they dont have it that day... -__- Oh well, at least the salmon oyako I ordered was not bad.. =)

Katong is really a food haven man, other than that, we went past Astons specialities, the famous durian puff shop (10 bucks for 20 pieces by the way) and a whole lot of new korean restaurants on the way.. Wow! Its like a going thru an international buffet man.. Not forgetting theres Sakura buffet nearby, settler's cafe and a whole lot more restaurants and cafes.. Next time if you are perplexed on where to go for your next meal, just drop by Katong, you will be spoiled for choice..
=)

Vantage Point

Just watched the show Vantage point, at first I was sorta intrigued by the fact that the story tells the tale of 8 strangers that witnessed a gunshot but after I saw it, wow!!!

The intriguing part about it is not about 8 strangers but much more.. oh, shall not reveal too much, you have to watch it full to get the suspense.. Yea, the whole plot takes about 20mins but its repeated for each stranger's account.. The best part is the suspense that is left at the end of each account before they bring you back to tell it from another perspective.. The real smart thing bout this movie is the ability to link all those small details together and piece together a superb plot.. If thats not what you are into, the thrilling ending car chase will definately thrill you..

Yea, its kind of the same Hollywood plot, I dunno why cant a movie not involve the president of the United States and yet again, he survives.. ha.. Oh yea, the ending was abit abrupt and unexpected, not really a good ending for such a good plot but oh well, its definately a must watch movie....

SYF Central Judging - Display Bands 2008

Today was the finals for the central judging for display bands and I must say, I din waste my time making a trip there to watch it.. It was held at the National Stadium.. Yes, it is still not taken down yet, although they said that they are going to more than 6 months ago..

Oh,back to the SYF judging.. It was awesome!!! Comparing to what I knew of it back in my secondary school days, erm, 10 years ago?? Its more of a chingay show. ha.. with all the dancers and special effects, some bands are really giving their all in this.. Of course this year's top 3 bands are no different from the past years with:

1) Deyi Secondary (Gold with Honours) (Best Display Band) (Best Drum Major)
2) TKSS (Gold with Honours)
3) Bowen Secondary (Gold)



The first band we saw was actually from TKSS, and it blew us away.. With all the dragons and chinese themes, it was really like watching a chingay parade, but far more entertaining.. Then came a couple of ok displays, then came on Bowen. We felt that Bowen was not really up to the standard that we hoped for, they were actually lucky to come across with a gold even.. Anyway, I thought West Spring Secondary gave a real good display, really deserved a gold from all that.. But they are in their 3rd year in this competition, so I guess kudos to them.. ^^ The best part was looking at the drum majors flipping their batons high up in the air and catching them on the way down.. Really cool man.. I should have went into a military band and take up that position instead of going for the student conductor position.. haha.. Throwing the baton is so much more fun then waving it around.. Lol...

The bomb came when Deyi came on in, their phantom rendition was done so perfectly that I really felt like Im watching the musical for a moment.. I think they got same winning formula from 2006.. A sudden unexpected swish of the flag at the start.. haha.. It really gave a good shock to start the performance. Every thing then was immaculately executed, and the Drum major was absolutely superb, Joshua I think was his name, and he took back the Best Drum Major Award for the year again for Deyi.. Congratz to Deyi, they really deserved it..

Oh, Im so sorry there were no pictures of them, I was to engrossed on their performance that I forgot about taking pictures. .hah..
