The game console enable up to a maximum of 4 controllers such that you can play with a group of friends! Not just that, it can be best cardio exercise as you will be burning fats while you play the wide array of interesting games available. Perfect for rainy weekends before your payday.

C:\Review\BirthdayPlans\Paintball



Name: Red Dynasty Paintball

Location: Bottle Tree Park, 81 Lorong Chencharu

Operating Hours: 9am-9pm (Mon-Fri), 9am-7pm (Sat&Sun)

Price Tag: $10.00-$49.90 per pax



Editor's thoughts: An ideal proposal for your birthday celebration. Yes. Ideally stupid. Everyone seems aiming straight at your face as though you killed their wife. Even your teammates appear to activate friendly fire (although they didn't). An unforgetable birthday however, I had, with my group of friends at one of the ulu-est part in Yishun. The game requires a lot of team work, mutual trust, courage, wits, craft, and lots lots lots of stamina. Running, squarting and douging from the flying bullets is very tedious if you have been slacking at long. There are objectives to meet, but who cares... Ultimately, we just want to se blueblack on the opposite side. Right boys?

C:\Review\Songs\吴克群 - 傻瓜


词 : Landy 温岚
曲 : Kenji 吴克群

其实他做的坏事我们都懂
没有什么不同
眼光闪烁 暧昧流动
闭上眼当作听说
其实别人的招数我们都懂
没有什么不同
故作软弱 撒娇害羞
只是有一点别扭
傻瓜也许单纯的多
爱得没那么做作
爱上了我不保留
傻瓜 我们都一样
被爱情伤了又伤
相信这个他不一样
却又再一次受伤
傻瓜 我们都一样
受了伤却不投降
相信付出会有代价
代价只是一句傻瓜

Editior's thoughts: Pressume most of you have heard the 温岚 verion of this song and probably already chanting the lyrics in the bathroom, on the bus and in KTV. Talking about KTV, I attempted the song a couple of times but find my key way too low for the song until I heard the 吴克群 version. With his trademark 咬字 and style of singing, the presentation has an altogether different feel, BUT I can't deny that the song still attracts me lots. Not very my style, but still, I am glad that the guy version will be out in KTV soon and I can then sing the song in my way, my style, my key.

C:\Review\Fashion\Bags\Agnes B


Brand: Agnes B

Type: Document/ Notebook Bag

Price Tag: $435

Editor's thoughts: Casual and smart, the design is perfect for metrosexual and stylish working executives. Black in colour with metalic zips, bottons and buckles makes the bag even more cool. Durable, soft and gentle material that is water proof and easier to maintain. Multiple compartments and pockets for various items; from notebook to stationeries, documents to mobile phone. Comes with both handle and shoulder stripes. Ideal for people who prioritise uniqueness and style over money. It will definitely add spice to the normal boring working class. As a hardcore Agnes B supporter, I feel that this is a good buy.

C:\Review\Food\Lam's Noodle House @ Race Course Road



Name: Lam's Noodle House/ 阿南鲍鱼面

Location: 460 Race Course Road

Operating Hours: 3pm-11pm (Monday Off)

Speciality: Lam's Abalone Special Noodle, Fresh Abalone Soup

Price Tag: Lam's Abalone Special Noodle $6, Fresh Abalone $38, Black Pepper Cod Fish $18



Editor's thoughts: Too expensive for a roadside coffee shop? Not after you have a taste of the food over there. The noodles 很有弹性和口感, together with portion of genuine abalone, plus a bowl of tasty and healthy fruit soup. And thats for just $6. Personally, my favourite is still the 黑胡椒雪鱼. I was shocked at the steep price initially, but after having my first bite of it, I believe people will still pay even if we mark up the price. The cross between the fish and the black pepper sauce is really 天衣无缝, and the 口感 is definitely way beyond your imagination. Nothing lesser than a 4 star standard dish. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The taste reminds me of those exaggerating expressions in 综艺大哥大. Of course, their 自制菜香豆腐 is worth a try too. Location is not favourable to non-drivers and because its situated next to the road, the environment can be very noisy as well. But I promise you will not regret to have a try!

C:\Review\Food\Islander Creamery @ Serene Centre



Name: Island Creamery

Location: 10 Jalan Serene, #01-05, Serene Centre

Operating Hours: 11am-10pm (Daily)

Speciality: Local Taste Gelato

Price Tag: Single Scoop $2.50, Double Scoop $4





Editor's thoughts: Nutella, Holicks, Teh Tarik, Reverso, the ice cream comes in several localise flavours which carries the actual taste. Staff there are friendly and show no "鸟脸" even when I take all the time in the world to select what I want. A vibrant and noisy place even late at 9pm, the crowd over there are mainly the rich ang moh kantans that stay around Bukit Timah area. In the nutshell, this is a great chill out place for tasty ice cream at affordable price with nice staff. A place which you should not miss.

C:\Review\Soccer\Profile\Harry Redknapp



Name: Harry Redknapp

Club: Tottenham Hotspur

Position: Manager

Editor's thoughts: Everything just happen in a flash. Ramos and gang were sent home after the horrible start of the 08 campaign and on the same day, Spurs introduced Harry Redknapp as the new manager. Looking at how Harry had developed Portsmouth from a mediocre Division One struggler to one of the UEFA contenders in Premiership, I am no doubts over the manager's ability. And the 2-0 win over Bolton on Sunday marks the first win for Spurs, as well as the first for the Harry with Spurs. Glad to see Modric playing as a free role magician and Bentley back as an assassin on the right wing. Impressive play! At the same time, I could foresee several new faces during the transfer window in January, be it players or coaching staff. Ex-captain Tim Sherwood could also be on his way back to Spurs to join forces with Harry Redknapp in reorganising the team. Realistically, anything more than surviving int he league will be a bonus this season. Being a 13 year fan of Tottenham Hotspur, I surely hope to see the club contending with the Big 4 in league, and other football giants in Europe. Nevertheless, welcome on board Harry!
