Beautiful or not ?

what do you think beauty is ?

I believe most people would consider first impression (appearance) as the most important factor then continue with what most people will then say - inner beauty.

Inner beauty and appearance are both very diversify and judgemental.

are the 3 girls pretty???


你認為美是？

我相信大多數人會考慮的外表作為最重要的考慮因素，然後大多數人會說 是內在美。

內在美和外觀都非常多樣化和判斷。

那麼你們覺得這3個女孩美嗎？？

Yes, I think they are all pretty but if they can insert a bit of uniqueness would be much better!!!

what do you guys think??

是的，我認為他們都是漂亮，但如果他們可以插加入一些個性就會好得多！！

你們有什麼看法？

Singapore - Maxwell Food Court

MAXWELL FOOD COURT
address: kadayanallur Street, Singapore

It's a famous food court located somewhere near ClubStreet that you have to go try the chicken rice and tofu pudding (my personal recommendation, not on guidebook).

2 STALLS YOU CAN'T MISS

1/ Chicken Rice - Hainanese chicken rice


You can find Tian Tian inside the food court, this shop provides the best chicken rice in Singapore.  There is a queue all the time, no matter during lunch or dinner.  It takes me 10-15 mins to get mine. 

Delicious chicken rice, SGD 3 (HK$19) for a regular size; SGD 3.5 (HK$ 22) for a larger one.  I brought 2 boxes back to Hong Kong .... now you have an idea how tasty it is.  

2/ Tofu Pudding


At Maxwell, you can also find Lao Ban Soya Restaurant which is my personal recommendation, not on guidebook ;)

It's totally different from what I usually have. The soya flavor is very strong and the pudding is so soft!!  If I didn't eat the chicken rice, I can finish 2 bowls myself !!!!

Tofu Pudding

It's only SGD1 each, don't miss it !!!!!!!

WHAT ELSE TO EAT IN MAXWELL?

Shaved ice is also very popular in Singapore, the hot weather kills me, thanks God that I can eat this every where.

It's only SGD 2 (HK$13), good to eat during the day to cool yourself down ;)


LEAVE YOUR TUMMY FOR SOMETHING ELSE
I have been to Maxwell once everyday during my visit in Singapore and I see a long queue at this noodles stall every time. ummm..... Probably I should give it a try.

So I line up for 15 mins which my friend has already finished what she orders.  While I am queuing, I discover that the fish soup is the famous item here.

There are 6 dishes you can order and I pick this fried fish noodles in soup. First, the fish soup isn't as great as I expect but the fried fish is fresh though.  Second, it is tooooooo hot to eat this in the food court !! Third, it is not worth to line up soooo long for this.

btw, this costs me $4.5, I would rather go for the chicken rice!!!!

You won't regret if you miss it !!! Save your stomach for satay sticks and ice-cream wafer.  

Singapore - 亞坤

亞坤 

 亞坤 for its famous kaya toast and the runny eggs and tea.

It's a good place for snacks or afternoon tea, but not enough for a full lunch ;)


MY KAYA TOAST SET

Kaya Toast Set

This set comes with 4 pieces of small toast with kaya jam + thick butter, runny eggs, and a cup of drink (coffee/tea) and I pick coffee. SGD 4.4 (HK$28).... a good bargain, right? ;)

The toast is thin and crunchy that I can finish them in 2 minutes!!! Don't forget to put the special soya sauce and pepper to eat with the eggs!!

DON'T MISS IT !!!

Vienna - Schnitzels at Figlmuller, Austria

I find that I don't really have time to write in details, so I just write a quick one here.

FOOD YOU CAN'T MISS !!
You can't miss schnitzels when you visit Vienna, how can you not try this Austrin dish??

WHAT IS SCHNITZELS?
It's a big thin deep-fried veal which is a traditional Austrian dish that usually comes with salad.  Check out the link below if you wanna know more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnitzel

I stay in Vienna for 2 nights and have tried schnitzels in 2 different restaurant:
-  Mozart Stubert (just around the corner from where I stay, Wombats City Hostel) and
-  Figlmuller, a famous one,
I am not going to talk about the one I had in Mozart Stubert as Figlmuller's one is waaaaay better.

WHERE TO EAT?
FIGLMULLER
address: Figlmüller Wollzeile 5, A-1010 Vienna
Tel. 01/512 61 77
e-mail: wollzeile@figlmueller.at
11am - 10:30pm


This restaurant is introduced by the receiptionist at the hostel and local people.

As I said before, the orginial schnitzels are made of veal, but they also use other ingridents now - chicken, pork, chicken stuffed with cheese and cow's liver. 


WHAT I ORDER?
I order 2 dishes + 2 bottles of lemon beer:
1/  chicken schnitzels, it's very crispy while the chicken is still cooked at the right timing, not too dry nor not too hard that would hurt my tongue.
2/  cow's liver schnitzels, a very special one.  However, I am a bit fed up after eating 1 piece (3 pieces in total), make sure you have enough people to share with you.

If you don't really like organs, don't order this.  I personally like eating different types of organs, but I still find that this one is a bit fishy.

3/  lemon beer is good, it is similar to fruit beer, I guess guys generally may not prefer this.

The meal costs EUR33!!

I will definitely come back for schnitzels if I come back again !!!

Here's one part of modern day living we can't without - Internet, and your home network

Home networks are a chore to maintain and deal with. No one wants to deal with it because it's fiddly, technical and stuff that should just work, like turning a tap on for water. However, it appears that in a bit over 6 years, my third router is dying or close to dying.

Routers seem pretty fragile and of varying reliability. I had a look at a couple of major brands (TP Link, Linksys, Netgear and D-Link) on newegg, and all their 1-2 star reviews had similar complaints - hardware faults in purchase or eventually becoming faulty.

They all charge a similar type of pricing structure with products that range from simple 150M wireless, up to 300, 450 and 450 dual band. They also tend to have more atennae as you move up the price curve along with a bonus USB port to plug in storage devices. Gigabit wired networks are also present in the mid to higher range products. Some brands like TP Link are clearly no frills type discounts.

My thought on buying this stuff is simple. Reliability seems questionable. Higher end products are clearly significantly higher margin (extra $20-40 for a USB port and antenna? Seriously? Literally costs maybe $2-3 at a generous guess). So buy the lowest profit margin product that you can accept. If you don't care for Gigabit network, don't get it. If you don't care about 450M dual band wireless, don't get it. Unless you work on digital media and need to copy loads of stuff all the time, why would you need it at this point in time - remember, the router will probably die in two years and you'll be buying a new one anyway.

This is annoying and affecting my gaming!
