A 'silent' invasion...

Carl's Junior at Marina Square.

I thought to myself; another fast food chain, so.. What's so special about this Carl's Junior? Saw their ad online where Paris Hilton wore a skimpy swimwear seducing herself over a burger whilst cleaning her car. Huh?! What has washing a car gotta do with burgers? It makes no sense.. Seductive? Yes! Very! But.. Famished for a Burger-endorsed-by-Paris-Hilton-whose-seductive-ad-makes-me-more-tempted-to-buy-her-sex-tape? Thanks, but no thanks!

I'm not prejudice against Paris Hilton. In fact, i admired her guts-in-everything-she-do-without-heisitation and envy her socialite lifestyle. It's just that i don't know what Carl's Junior ad trying to protray, makes no sense to me.

Anyway, Me and Joel gave Carl's Junior a try yesterday.... While part-timing at COMEX, i've seen alot of people queuing for the burgers day in and out, whether is it lunch or dinner. GOTTA GIVE IT A TRY.. If it's not nice, then it will be the last time to frequent them.

Surprisingly, me and Joel enjoyed Carl's Junior very much!


Here's why:
1) Queue was fast!! There was a long queue, but it moved quite fast because.. You will be given a queue no and food will be served to your table. You will also be given a cup which you help yourself to the drinks, refillable.


2) Servings are HUGE!! A burger combo is actually good enough for 2. We ordered a Best Western Double Burger (bacon, beef patties and onion rings) meal upsize to large drink and fries, a Carl's Fish Burger and a Beef Chilli Chessy Fries.

Look! Their large fries is huge! And their burgers.. Their burgers are as big as my hand, not palm! When we left, we only managed to down the Beef Chilli Cheesy Fries and my fish burger.. The large fries and the Best Western Double had to be brought back to office! And their food ain't cheap.. We spent almost $20 there. But giving consideration to the huge servings served, it's all worth it!

3) Food was Greeeaat!! Best fish burger i've eaten. Must try! It's better than Fillet-O-Fish. Best tender beef patties i've eaten. They cooked the patties to medium rare and when you take a mouth, you can taste the juicy-ness of the patties! And the Beef Chilli Fries? Best! It's like Orange Julius Coney dogs eaten with fries instead.. *sluuuurrrrp*

A must try sinful indulgence!!! :p

Went shopping for fragances after work yesterday. Last day of fragrances sale at Isetan. Need to replenish due my mom has been helping herself with my fragances collection recently for the past few months. *soooobbb*

Me spent a total of $270 yesterday on discounted fragances! Lucky i have the Isetan card, credit term, payment by next month.. Whewww! And best of all, my mom offer to pay for some too! (",)

Angel in the house!

Worked part-time at COMEX in Suntec for 4 days from 01-04 September. It was my 'virgin' IT show.. Woke up on Thursday (01/09) morning feeling nervous, not knowing what to expect at the show. After all, i'm a regular at NATAS (bi-annual Travel Fair) but not COMEX...

We were scheduled to report at 10am even though the Show will start at 12noon. When me and NeeNee reached, there were only a few of them.

Me: "Hmmpf! Asked us to come so early and in the end, everyone's late.."

Nee: "It's like that one, Mi.."

We waited and waited and waited.. Briefing finally start at 11.20am. When the briefing end, it was 12 noon. You can see the crowds roaring in! *Scary* 2 hours into the Show, Me and NeeNee couldn't take it anymore, we went for our lunch. It was a fruitless 2 hours of approaching. We were a bit dejected but neverthenless, it's only the first day!

End of the day, me managed to sell 1 set. It's not much but at least i don't go gome empty handed. By the way, it's NEC laptops that we're selling.. Cheers to Chonglip for this part-time opportunity!

On Friday (02/09), something strange happened.. As i was leaving Joel's place for Suntec, an angmoh cross my path.

Angmoh: "Hi, are you looking for your dog?"

Me: "Huh? What dog?"

Angmoh: "There's a dog there.." (Pointing towards the direction he came from)

Me: "Oh... No no.. My dogs are all inside.. Thanks!"

He smiled and walked away.. After i cross the road, i turned around and i saw the dog slightly further up of the road. I couldn't figure out what breed it was at that time as i can only see its BUTT!!

Half way through the Show, Joel called me..

Joel: "Dear, tell you something.."

Me: "What?"

Joel: "My brother was gardening in front just now. He wanted to throw the garbage away and he opened the gate. Suddenly, a Golden Retriever which was laying in front of our gate, ran into the house!"

Me: "Golden? That is a Golden i saw today?!!"

Joel: "You mean you saw the dog?!"

Me: "Not really.. But this morning, there is this angmoh who thought that i lost a dog and told me there's a dog there. I thought it's some stray (dog).."
(never occur to me that someone will actually abandon a Golden)

Joel: "Looks like abandon or lost.. Anyway, she's very pretty.. We just finished bathing her. Going to bring her to a vet later."

I can hear a tinge of happiness from Joel while talking to him about the Golden Retriever.. Joel not only love Snowie, Furbie and Nikkie, he love Serene's Shadow, Roche and Bandit too.. He always wanted a big dog and with this Golden, it seems like Joel got what he wanted. Nevermind that the Golden wasn't raised by them from young, being able to provide a home had brought happiness to the Golden and his family. But.. There is this one worry in my mind. And that is, how will Joel react if its owner come and take her home.. Joel will be devastated...

Anyway, till today, we don't see anyone putting up notice for a lost Golden. And from the pet shop nearby, we heard that she had been roaming in the streets for days..! Poor girl... Darn the owner!!! Shame on you!!!

End of the day, me had supper with NeeNee and went back to Joel's place. I was greeted by Snowie, Furbie, Nikkie and Angel! She's a darling... Look at her!


Introducing Chia's family new addtion, Angel!

Saturday (03/09) morning, me and NeeNee report at our booth and again, everyone's late.. *haiz* What else is new? Lucky, me and NeeNee don't meet up so early for breakfast anymore. Sales wasn't bad today, managed to sell 5 sets. Keep up the good work, Jaime! Go Go Go!

Sunday (04/09) morning, last day of COMEX. Again, everyone's late except me and NeeNee. Don't understand why they can't be punctual!? Felt weird today, having my pre-menses cramp.. It's affecting me, lost all my determination. End of the day, me sold 4 sets only whereas NeeNee sold 10 sets!! Wowww! Good work NeeNee! I didn't hit my personal target of 20 sets over the 4 days, but i'm glad that i didn't go home empty handed (sold 13sets in total).

Beginning of the day.

End of the day. Look at the litter!!

Went to look for Serene and her babies at Dreamscape after COMEX. The last time i saw them were at Sentosa, they have grown so much! Now, Roche (on her 4s) stand as tall as Shadow (Roche was 1"-2" shorter than Shadow the last time i saw them)! Bandit had grown much bigger, but he's still behave like a baby..

Bandit hiding underneath the arcylic table trying to sleep..

And there's Jojo, a cross breed of Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel!

Jojo! A mix breed... Cute hor?!

Not forgetting our Manja Queen, Furbie! She looked damn cute after her grooming.. She reminds me of 'Yin Tao Xiao Wan Zi'!

This is 'Yin Tao Xiao Wan Zi'...

And this is Furbie after her grooming.. Don't they look-a-like? I mean, look at their hairstyle! She look damn adorable!! Look at how she sat...
