been planning for a beach holiday for the longest time

and finally i'm done with it

yes .. Finally ... =)

this time round , i've decided to pack my belongings

and step out of singapore alone .

no particular reason .. moi need some quiet and own time for myself ..

an undisturbed one especially (:

everything was booked very last minute

so i settled for bintan in this short trip .

The hotel that i stayed..

BINTAN LAGOON RESORT

nice azure blue sky ..

loves the sun , beach ... and swaying palm trees .....

Feet in the sand

hair in the wind

The sound of the waves crashing

enjoying the sea breeze of south china sea

Travelling alone seems to have more advantages

i had an awesome time there !

it may be a short one but i could say i'm almost fully recharged

and felt really rejuvenated !!

looking at my calendar now ..

gonna plan for the next one real soon ! ;p

The Facts about Hair ..

2010-02-19T16:19:00.025+08:00

Hair is a natural part of genetic makeup,
but can also be considered the main ingredient that completes our look.
Deciding which hairstyle to take on is a difficult decision,
since it can completely alter one's appearance, for better or worse.
Men's fashion including hairstyling has certainly come a long way forward.

Gone are the days where the only decision made by men was whether
they would have a short haircut or not one at all.
There really wasn't anything on offer in between.

There are reasons many men go for a shorter haircut -- shorter hair is easy to maintain, the styles are masculine, and short hair is appropriate for most any profession or lifestyle. Just because a style is short, doesn't mean it has to be boring.

THINK JAMES DEAN !

the windswept hairstyle that defined '50s is back , bolder ,
and more badass than ever !

GET INSPIRED !

i guiltily admit that i'm one of the victims =p

The Hair-Raising Style

set aside what i had just said ,
to pull off that look is certainly another big question !

people like me who is unfortunately not born with good looks
might not be able to put on that crown !
nevertheless it's still worth and fun to give it a shot regardless how bad it turn out eventually

and before my head goes bald and hairless to play with , haha !

it's all about the things that truly inspire you
and hopefully inspire others .

DID I

JUST MAKE YOUR HAIR STAND ? :P

2010-02-14T21:21:00.003+08:00

that boy wonder

why it always have to be him?

is life really that unfair ?

taking it all alone is not easy ..

that boy is innocent

but he's going to brave through the storm

and

hope to see the sunshine after the rain ..

Dolce & Gabbana opening party

2009-11-04T00:17:00.002+08:00

Dolce & Gabbana celebrated the official opening of its flagship boutique last Friday,
the fashion crowd were out in full force celebrating the grand opening of the store right

at a prime spot of Singapore’s chic-est new mall ION Orchard.
and yes, everyone was there.

quite a mouthful,
but the bloody awesome party Dolce & Gabbana threw was worth it.

me and benjamin

grand entrance

john and me
glenn
pierre on the right
daryl and me

The premise was extended from the entrance of the boutique out in a Dolce & Gabbana label-clad temporary structure. When I entered the premise, I felt like I was transported into two worlds – Club Glitz and Glamour, and High-Society Chic. There was the disco light, the bar at one side and the DJ booth at the other .

special big thanks to Wen han who got the invites for us :)

in my opinion it's one of the best opening party !

infectious, easy music perfect ! just couldn’t resist.

whooping music, Veuve Clicquot, stunning crowd of celebs, all the major media, movers & shakers of the local scene and eye candy overload... thank you, Club 21.

on a side note :

Back with Baking ... says ... finally

2009-10-03T16:02:00.052+08:00

hello peeps !
i'm .. finally back ....er..
back with a decent blog entry with my baking creation !

wanna say a BIG THANK YOU to readers who did not abandoned this space of mine !
and also those who are awaiting for my baking entries too ! xoxo

alright
i shall proudly present this humble work of mine again :)

First
let's check out the
ingredients needed ..

self raising flour
baking powder
1 egg
butter ( room temperature )
milk
sugar
salt
black peppercorns
parsley flakes
italian seasonings
garlic
white button mushrooms
tomatoes
asparagus
danish blue cheese

a little .. bit .. about danish blue cheese

Danish blue cheese , also known as Danablu . Made in denmark . its light blue-veined cheese, This semi-soft creamery cheese is typically drum or block shaped and has a white to yellowish, slightly moist, edible rind. Made from cow's milk

Danish Blue is often served crumbled on salads or as a dessert cheese with fruit,
but the Danish way of eating it is on bread or biscuits.

For me i gonna experiment it differently today ..

to kick start

make the tart crust !

In a large bowl , combine butter , eggs , flour , sugar , salt and mix thoroughly ..
gather the dough into a ball , if dough is too crumbly ,
add some ice water by drops until the particles adhere .
dust the pastry dough with a little flour .
Refrigerate for at least half four before baking .

pour olive oil into heated pan
while heating up
fry the chopped garlic

add the chopped white button mushrooms and stir fry with salt , peppercorn
parsley flakes and italian seasonings

last but not least add some milk and let it simmers for about 5 more minutes

lightly grease the tart pan before placing the dough ..
Center the dough in the tart pan, if necessary, trim the excess dough, then pinch the edges of the dough flat with the edge of the tart pan.

as i will be baking this as unfilled crust, use a fork to puncture the doughs in all areas, so it doesn't puff up while baking.

place the cooked mushrooms and sprinkle danish blue cheese on top

preheat the oven to 180 degree to 200 degree and bake for 20 - 25 mins

once baked , leave it to cool for about 10 mins

hot hot hot !

freshly baked whhoohoo !

dressing up my dish does give me another satisfaction !

after garnishing ..

featuring my baking for the day !

mushroom tart with danish blue cheese

sometimes simple is the best

Here is an easy recipe that can be whipped together fast
once you have all the ingredients lined up.
and
If you are looking for an unforgettable mushroom dish,
this visually appealing yet tasty recipe will satisfy your hunger and desire.

baking is indeed therapeutic!
i feel so much relax after it

hope you guys relished this savory dish that i specially prepared today :)

F1 Rocks singapore with LG !

2009-09-28T21:02:00.003+08:00

view from the house terrace

tantalizing & delectable range of food serve in the private lounge

nite peeps ! :)

Live as you learn!

2009-09-08T20:13:00.045+08:00

There's an old Swedish saying that goes: "live as you learn".
I cannot figure out a better way of saying this,
if we ever want to construct a political and
ethical system that is supposed to correlate with how reality functions,
we must overlook our social and moral constructions in order to interpret our situation as realistically as possible.

to me .. there's really alot to learn in life
and i'm constantly improving to be a better man :)

for those who are concern ,
my grandma is discharged and her condition seems pretty stable now ..
finally i'm at ease ..

In the past weeks, beside running back and forth
from hospital to work ..
somehow this incident knock some sense into me lately ..
I realized that I need a healthy body to enjoy my hard working money.

Being a workaholic,
I think we all deserve some break time.
My journey is not my own journey.
It involves with many other people as well

therefore from now onwards ,
i gonna inject this four words into my brain !
work hard and play hard !

there must be a reason for these old cliches to survive.
so believe me, it works !

so please dun judge on what you see !
thou i party hard but i work even harder !!! :p

I've come to realize that it's much more than just a saying.
It's a way of life... it's a mentality... it's an obsession.

the one and only reason why i party so much at times is because
i get to see all my loves !

heart them big time! xoxo

Life is so short and vulnerable ...
achievement , enjoyment is equally important.
learn to treasure whoever that treat you well
last but not least
let's dive into the work hard, play hard mantra ..! ^^

stay happy peeps !
