EAT + SHOP
Ever since I heard probro mentioned about the scissor curry rice near Mustafa, I've always craved for it.
I never got to try it out because eveytime I passby there I was either full or the shop was closed.
Today is the day that I'll try out the curry rice for myself.



Yes, they do use a pair of scissors to cut up the meat/vege that you've picked to go with your rice. After which they ladle your rice and 'liao' with their curry sauce.

I was happily picking out my dishes until I was told at the cashier that my meal costed $4.20.
LOL, I never knew curry peng can cost so much.

I chose the chicken fillet w sesame, bbq pork chop, fish cake and a vege.



The starchy and slimy curry sauce(which isn't really spicy), I like.


Diagonally across the street is the Jalan Besar Plaza, so it ain't too difficult to find the shop.


After I've refuelled, it's time to shop!
Actually, my intention was to go to Mustafa to buy those cheap and trendy shoes which probro had recommended.
But I never knew that I would drop by the curry rice shop for dinner. :)

I was a bit disappointed when I got to Mustafa because I couldn't find the variety of shoes which probro had posted.
Luckily, I found and picked up a cool looking pair of sneakers.

Pazzo(sounds Italian ei? lol)




The best thing of all is its price tag......


How can anyone visit Mustafa without buying some muruku?
Here's what I've got.


How can you resisit the shelves and shelves of indian snacks? LOL

THE FALCON'S HANGAR
1/6 SWAP & GET TOGETHER MEET

Met up with 12" Bro and Neoconvoy on a Sunday afternoon to attend the 1/6 meet @ TFH.

TFH had recently moved to its new location @ Waterloo Centre.

For this meet, TFH had graciously catered some food for its attendees.
Who doesn't like a buffet?


The falcon himself!


Quite a crowd showed up to scout for good deals and to exchange ideas.



The various offerings available at the meet.





My score during the meet.








Before I went to TFH, I dropped by Sim Lim Square to get myself a pair of ear phones.
The old one had a kink in its cable and the wires are exposed!

OEM in-ear phones @ $14.90 from Million Mobile.


After using it for a couple of days, I find that the sound quality is rather good.

In fact, it's better than the earphones that came with my creative muvo player.

LOOKING FOR A CHEAP LIGHT TENT

While searching for 'tent' on yahoo, I came across someone selling his Ikea kids tent.
It is rather big and has mostly white covers all around.
So I decided to go to Ikea to see for myself.

Here it is, the KOJA @ $11.90.



On closer inspection, the canopy is made up of real canvas like those which painters use to lay on the floor to prevent splatter.

Not a suitable material.


As I walked around I saw a clothes storage bag thingy.
It's material is what I'm looking for but its dimensions are too small or should I say too shallow.

SKUBB @ $15.




There's another version of the SKUBB with slightly larger dimensions.



The laundry bags looks suitable too but its dimensions are a tad small and its thin raincoat materials looks like it could turn yellow real easy.


Then I came across some fabrics which are sold for the curtain blinds.
They look rather thin though, but I can always double lay it, they come in 60cm x 300cm.
60cm is a bit too short to make up the smallest side of the light tent cube.

ANNO LILL @ $4.





In the end, I went back empty handed, so it's back to the drawing board.

As usual, some irrelevant pix.

FISHERMEN'S WHARF

Located opposite Central around Clarke Quay.




Nice cosy ambience.



The standard Fish & Chips goes for $6.50.



Although they have many customers, you get your orders served relatively fast.

Irrelevant, but here's some cat pix I took around CSC before meeting up with pro bro to pick out some attire for Becks.
