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!

C:\Review\Food\Hill Top Japanese Restaurant @ Jurong Hill



Name: Hill Top Japanese Restaurant/ 乐满楼

Location: 2 Jurong Hill, Above Jurong Bird Park

Operating Hours: 11.30am-10.30pm (Daily)

Speciality: Air-Flown NZ Steak, Prawns, Teriyaki Chicken

Price Tag: Approximately $35 - $50 per person







Editor's thoughts: Sitting on top of Jurong Hill above the Bird Park, the teppanyaki restaurant has a combination of great food, nice ambience and excellent customer service. The chefs are damn pro and watching them prepare the food is like watching circus. Must really check out their skillful hand movement. Whats more? Desserts are served to us for FREE, at a more cooling corner after the meal. Services of the staff are good cos they are quite quick in refilling our green tea, and attending to us when we ask for bill. Night view at Jurong Hill Top is 几够力一下. Couples confirm will love it. Highly recommended for people that drives and love teppanyaki.

C:\Review\Food\Ah Chiang's Porridge @ Tiong Poh Road




Name: Ah Chiang's Porridge/ 阿昌粥

Location: Blk 65, Tiong Poh Road, #01-38

Operating Hours: 7am-2pm, 6pm-12am (Alternate Monday Off)

Speciality: Pig's Innards Porridge, Raw Fish

Price Tag: Porridge around $4.50 - $5.50, Raw Fish $3





Editor's thoughts: Located at ulu part of Tiong Bahru, Ah Chiang's Porridge seats about 30 paxes with around 4 tables for smokers! *WOW* Probably the last stall in Singapore with 传统火炭粥, meaning to cook porridge over the charcoal stove, the steep pricing of the porridge is definitely justifiable. I am not a porridge lover, but food here is really power! Adding some soya sauce to the raw fish is really irresistable. Go try it. Imagine having hot delicious porridge with 油条 and raw fish, plus a cup of kopi-o, YUM YUM!

C:\Review\Songs\范逸臣 - Missing You

作词:林乔
作曲:金大洲

以后都不要再联络 听你说的很简单
黑暗中静静搂紧自己 孤单有谁明白
难过懒的再去管 泪要不要流下来
我也只好默默啃蚀寂寞 留着痛灌溉
Missing You 抛去爱 渐渐模糊的期待
难道我就这样痛撤心扉 是自己活该
Missing You 我无奈 难道是为了彼此伤害
好成为扮演愉快的天才
看照片散落在一床 我在回忆中哭喊
若是自导自演的闹剧 为何美好曾拥怀
就当作分手是因为 我们在爱中看开
如果留不住 我就只有孤独来陪伴
Missing You 我坦白 突然背叛的未来
那个时间转角 你就不再留意我存在
Missing You Every Night 连星海也嘲笑我活该
我还有什么资格放不开
陌生的人海 去哪里找爱
只有看不清等待
谁愿收留 我的期待快来

Editor's thoughts: Definitely gonna be in my ktv Must-Pick-List for the rest of the year. The semi-rock style together with emotional lyrics definitely make this a 5 star rated song. His high notes is definitely something that need time to master; sharp, powerful, emotional. Attempted the song twice but still struggling with minus 1. Highly recommended for people who think they sing well, people with very high keys, and people who love ballads but like to try a bit of rock.
