You know how frustrating it was to see evil weevils crawling around in my pack of rice when all the commodities prices are shooting up.
While they are not poisonous, and probably have extra benefits in form of insect proteins when cook, I'm still not amused.
The fastest & laziest way to weed them out is simply to freeze them to death! So I open my packet of rice and quickly contain them in another bigger pack, securely tied up.
Throw the pack into the freezer, after few hours, you'll find theses irritating evils frozen & dead in the bigger pack. Neat huh?
Oh Weevil
Dear Weevil
Let me show you
Who is EVEN
MORE EVIL
muahahahahaha ....

Heat is STILL ON!
While the heat (READ: Volatility) on EURUSD may be expected to fall & stagger in the week ahead, the heat (READ: weather) at home (Singapore) don't seems to be dwindling anytime soon.
Well, actually what I'm experiencing now is considered *peanuts* when compared to the insane heat I had while in Bangkok (See thermometer below at Bangkok). Still, for some reasons, it seems more unbearable at home then when I was in Bangkok *shrugged* 
Besides heat from natural sources, heat from work been picking up as well too! It's just gets too intense now. Another week of blog break, and hopefully I can resume with my blogging schedules continuing on my recent escapades like:
Cycling from East Coast - Changi Village via Changi Coastal Park Connector
Relaxing walk at our latest attraction on the westside of Singapore - Henderson Wave Bridge

How far will it fall?
I always watch in awe in this remarkable free fall. Greenback nearly drop 20% against Little Red Dot. And Aussie close to attaining Nirvana Parity (i.e Equal to Greenback)
Loonie & Swissy had previously attempted at this level, only Loonie maded it.
How far will it fall against our Little Red Dot??!! *phew*

Some like it HOT!
When the going gets HOT, the Bougainvillea gets SIZZLING! Smack right in the middle of ECP Expressway, a stretch of Bougainvillea were blooming madly amidst the scorching heat.
They seems to be striving well, unfortunately, not so for the homo sapiens on this little red dot. I seeking temporary refuge in Shopping Centers & Libraries from now on.
Don't really feel like blogging in this heat, so will take a short summer blog break! ;P

Alexandra Arch & South Ridges
One of the more exciting development in Singapore that got me really trilled aren't the F1 racing nor those Gambling Dens Integrated Resorts. The Park connectors network & various new trails around nature parks takes the cake instead.
Many have been lamenting for years on why we couldn't have a safe & bicycle-friendly road for cyclist, just like those found around Europe.
Instead of these bicycle friendly roads, there have been a network of Park Connectors & new trails been developed quietly & steadfastly.
I have been waiting for the completion of this particular connector at Alexandra. You seen one of side of the Arch in my previous post. Here is another side. Essentially, this is a bridge that connects HortPark to another part of the trail that leads to Telok Banglah Hill.
The Arch connects to another elevated walkway, which at this height, certainly not recommended those suffering from Acrophobia, I guess. But I can certainly foresee an exciting bird's eye of the surrounding forest to feast your eyes.
This, eventually, goes around, down and then up towards Telok Banglah Hill.
The Arch is officially open on 10~11 May 2008 along with HortPark.
It actually part of the the South Ridges 9km trails that goes from Kent Ridge Park all the way to Harbourfront MRT Station!
How exciting! I certainly will check out very soon!

Lazy Food#2 - Prosciutto with Grissini
Another food, or rather snack food for the lazy folks.
Simply just wrap Prosciutto (Dry cured ham) around Grissini (Italian bread stick)
There are nicer Prosciutto around, but I need to pay a premium for them ahhh but I need to think of my budgets :(
Anyway, these are fine for an occasion indulgence during office breaks. And really, create stares in the office, wondering why I'm eating raw meat sashimi on giant glico stick. LOLz
Perhaps I just need more practice more on my wrapping skills so I can create a more presentable glico sashimi stick for photography ;P

Seasons Change
On 4 May 2008 (Sunday) afternoon, all blue skies & everything nice. I was lazily & happily baking in hot sun treatment (with a layer of SPF50+ of coz ;P) on my trusty 2 wheels.
Everything looks fine and I'm expecting a spectacular sunset to go along with this kind of fine (but hot!) weather
3 hours later, something else came out of the blue instead. Smog begins to appear, clouding the whole skies as if to signify the arrival of an apocalypse.
I immediately felt uneasy & disturbed, but brushed off as yet another Sumatra forest fires at work. 
I was dead wrong! Something more terrible happen elsewhere in Asia. Cyclone batters Myanmar, casualties feared
I'm not too sure if our sudden "Seasons Change" here have got anything to do with Cyclone Nargis @ Myanmar or vice versa. Whatever it is, the no of death & casualties are extremely severe in Myanmar. 20,000 people dead, 40,000 still missing, and hundreds of thousands homeless ... and still counting?!
*sighz* I sincerely pray for safe & speedy rescue efforts and wish those homeless & suffering find strength to tide them through this difficult period.

Lazy Plant#1 - Indian Borage
Indian Borage (Plectranthus amboinicus)
This is one of the easiest plant to grow, perfect for lazy folks. Easily propagated from stem cuttings.
The leaves have got a strong minty scent. Traditionally being used for coughs, relieve indigestion, stomach cramps& even headaches. But I usually use to make tea only.
Typically, the leaves are green. But mine is the (not so common) variegated form, it comes with creamy white markings on leaves margin.
Grow baby grow, let me have some tea soon! :)

Batteryless Pocket Organzier
I used to be a electronic gadgets junkie. However, I gotten tired the continual chase of technology. Though my previous Clie PDA still very much alive, I decided to go back to the basics (i.e using pen & paper) after I found PocketMod
So my shopping list, expenditure tracking, Vehicle log etc are all individual Pocketmod notes now.
- Prints on single side, so you can recycle those single side printed paper.
- It cleverly folds into 8 pages of pocket-size notes, each page customized according to your preferences.
- Once they done with their usefulness, just recycle by dropping into the shredder. Sweet deal huh? ;P
Highly recommended!

Minced Memories
I don't have a good memory. When asked about past events, no matter how bad or glorious it were. My recollections are often fragmented & finely minced up. I would remember a bits here & there, but not in entirety.
Fortunately, my sense of perceptions seems pretty fine. I mean I seems to require some sort external stimuli: sights, taste, smell etc for my memory to be operative. That's what happen when I while having this Mushroom Minced Pork Noodle in Pasir Panjang.
The familiar murkiness & wonderfully robust smell in the soup. The sediments are the essence of the soup. 
The Bouncy Pork ball, braised mushroom & the unique blend of sauce & Zhenjiang Vinegar. Suddenly, I seems to have been transported back in time. To the time when I was still working in Paya Lebar area.
This Mushroom Minced Pork noodle stall in Pasir Panjang is the same favorite stall of mine when I was working in Paya Lebar. It was my favorite but I lost touch after I moved to the West.
It's certainly wonderful to be seeing them once again in the West! Apparently, they've moved to the west and been staying around Depot Road too ;) 
No address, but do check the map.
They opened from Mon ~ Sat from morning till about 3pm
Close on Sunday.
