Blue Fin Tuna Fish

We went Isetan this afternoon to witness a cutting demonstration of a specially flown in from Japan Blue Fin Tuna Fish.

It was really a gigantic fish and it took the Chef about 30 minutes to dissect the wrong fish.

According to the in-charge, less oily part of that tuna fish is selling at $17.80 per 100g, the redder flesh and more oily part is selling at $37.90. The fish bones is good for brewing soup and the bones and head were already sold before the demonstration takes place.

Singapore Formula One - Pictures

We are really so lucky to obtain 2 free tickets at such last minute and it was indeed worthwhile to go through the hassle of getting there. This is what happened. Alvin's friend's friends from HKG are unable to arrive on Friday to catch tonight's show. Since they will only be arriving on Saturday and in order not to let today's ticket go to waste, they diecided to give it away and so we are the lucky ones.... So, yesterday afternoon, the tickets were hurriedly sent from HKG to SIN by DHL. and so I was there !

I was enjoying every second of it and it was simply fabulous !

You won't feel any bit that it was a night race as the whole circuit track was brightly lit up. At one time, when the aerial camera was taking in the view of the entire track from the sky, the view is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ! I must say that image of Singapore being beamed to worldwide will definitely captured their hearts to come to visit this lovely tiny little country. I cannot find the right words to describe that perfect image of Singapore.... The entire circuit was lit up brightly and cars smashing past at top notch speed....above it, the Benjamin SHeares Bridge with cars zooming pass it too... I still cannot get over this lovely sight.

We were seated opposite the Pit Area and it is known as the Pit Grandstand. Cars coming out from the pit has to stop to watch out for oncoming cars before they can accelerate and speed off.... So, here are my chances to take the pictures of the cars as well as fantastic videos of them speeding off from the Pit Area.

Enjoy the lovely photos !

Bangkok Holiday 29 - 31 Aug

Just returned from short holiday to BKK recently despite uncertain and unrest news in Thailand keeps telecasting in TV and broadcasting on the radio....

I scrampled to purchase the most coverage plan of travel insurancee, get our details updated in MFA - just in case we needed to be evacuated in a very short notice in BKK while we were there.

We arrived BKK in the later afternoon and took a cab to the city.... it was smooth sailing until we exited the expressway, entering into the heart of the city...... we caught in a jam. What's new about this in BKK actually...... As we snailed the roads to our hotel in Siam Square.... I scruntised the streets in the city like I never been to BKK before.... everyone gets on with their lives as usual.....businesses go on, tourists out in the streets - never stop buying... the Thais too..... getting on with their daily lives.....

We quickly checked into our room and started roaming the streets as quickly as possible.... Siam Square is filled with many Thai youngsters and tourists...... same over at MBK, abundant of tourists of all nationalities.... You never felt a ting of unrest, riot, etc. going on...... though there are more securities around in shopping malls and hotel vicinity... However, you will just dimiss them as extra security measure for the safety of all rather than it is due to the unrest at the somewhere government house in BKK city.

To cut the long story short, I practically did 4 things during my stay in BKK and they are - SHOP - EAT - MASSAGE - SLEEP....... Nothing else..... It was so relaxing and I am really enjoy the time I had in BKK.....

This is the 3rd time I been to Bangkok and it is only this time that I have a better impression of BKK...can you believe it?

Anyway, I loved the hassle free and BKK is definitely my top list for a short getaway....


LATEST - the sudden turn of events as reported on news is appalling.... BKK will be turning into state of emergency any time now if the unrest keeps spreading.....
