Hungry for crabs?
Never really understood why people like crabs so much actually…
Eat some crab food
I don’t eat crab as I never knew how to appreciate it. The Chinese love crab though.
This one is funny though a little lengthier than what I usually post.
Dodgy diners at Seagrass in Melbourne Facebooked
The drama unfolded last week when a group of five young diners, after drinking at the bar, requested a table at the Southbank restaurant.
Over dinner, they worked their way expertly through the menu, ordered and drank fine wines and, after ordering dessert, slipped out “for a smoke”. They kept going.
Leary was left with an unpaid bill for about $520, and little hope of recovering his money.
“It was then I remembered that when the group arrived, one of them had asked about one of our waitresses who was not working that night,” Leary said yesterday.
The waitress gave him a name and then he thought of Facebook.
“The site also gave me his place of employment, which was handy.”
Leary discovered that both the man and his girlfriend worked at another Southbank restaurant.
Angered that it was workers from his own industry who had perpetrated the scam, he stormed down to the restaurant and confronted the restaurant owner, who promised to deal with the matter.
Within hours, the restaurant manager arrived at Seagrass with the ringleader, who not only paid the bill, but left a generous tip for staff.“The restaurant manager then told me he would let me know what further action would be taken,” said Leary. (Source: News.com.au)
Ahh, Facebook’s handy. I found many secondary school friends there. It’s such a good tool.
I think it’s great that everyone these days is making an effort to translate things to another language. Globalization’s really happening, so are mistranslations:
Erm, it’s the thoughts that counts right?

A brewery/restaurant just opened not long ago near my work area. Looks pretty nice. I’m not really a drinker and no one drinks with me but well… Maybe can go there some day.
Brewerkz Singapore Now Pouring. I like the ‘Now Pouring’ line.
I got bored of McDonalds’ and the pretty-girl cafeteria and junk food actually.
Ate something different today – zong zai fun. There is this nice lady selling it at the Bukit Batok area and I bought the food from her stall a couple of times.
Quite filling too. Something different. Placed a lot of chilli there as you can see, hahaa… Happy lunching.
On a side note, there is this old man who always brings his dog down at noon time. Always wanted to ask the old man if I could take a picture of his dog. I actually intended to ask today, but… his dog is not around. Another day I guess.
They will hold pictures that I take on a random basis. Somedays there’ll be pictures, some days there won’t. I don’t like to give myself too much pressure on taking pictures.
And the category is called – Photo Diary. I usually take pictures with my Samsung U600. It’s a pretty lousy phone I guess. But the whole point of this is not much of showing how great quality a phone can have but to just create a photo diary. It’s hard to type so many things. I don’t like to keep typing and typing too. Pictures are much easier and they speak a thousand words right?
Anyhow, this is my next thousand words:
Steamed prawns – succulent and delicious. I prefer them to fried ones. Nicest when served hot. Yummy. I took this at Boon Lay Raja Restaurant.
