Ironically, I came across this passage from a book, yesterday night while I was doing some online searches, looking for some references tips on good continuous writing. It was also a pretty rocky Tuesday for me actually, had some pretty frivolous thoughts going in and out of my mind.

Quoting from the book “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom:

“Have I told you about the tension of opposites?” he says.
“The tension of opposites?”
“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.”
“A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.”
“A wrestling match.” He laughs.
“Yes, you could describe life that way.”
So which side wins, I ask?
“Which side wins?”
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.
“Love wins. Love always wins.”

Life is really…such a mockery. After being mocked by fate, now I also get mocked by extracts from a book. Heh, can I say pwned?

Somehow, I think I screwed things up. The short-sightedness and the want for immediate gratification always gets the better of me. I should really sit down and think things through calmly, and not repeat such acts of having infantile thoughts again, ever.

So yesterday, I was actually telling her, I had a flip through at my horoscope book, titled “Your Personal Horoscope 2005” by Joseph Polansky. (I started collecting this series since 2003 by the way) And I read that for her horoscope, her greatest signs for most helpful in spiritual matters would be the Gemini and Virgo signs. As for the greatest signs for love and emotional matters, it would the Aries and Capricorn signs. So I was asking her does she think it’s kinda true, then she suddenly just had to bring up the topic I dreaded the most, that her sign and Virgos always had clashes, be it internal or emotional. Then I told her, I didn’t see anything about her sign having any incompatibility with Virgos, or for that matter. She said it doesn’t matter for which edition of horoscope year I’m reading, astrology is usually pretty standard, everything is predestined. My heart sank. I mean, I really didn’t expect her to be reading into horoscopes so seriously. As for myself, I’m pretty interested about astrology and all that, and I’m also actually a strong believer in it too. But I usually try not to read too much into it, after all it’s about having that chemistry, how much you can really click with the other person. And both of us can never deny that we do share alot of chemistry with each other, which is a good thing of course. But, as with any other real-life accounts, there is never a perfect someone that you would meet in life. Each and everyone of us has flaws, and it’s all about accepting for who he or she is, if you really fancy that person.

So our conversation ended quite ho hum yesterday night, it was one of the worst nights I ever had, ever since I got to know her. I was in a state of dysphoria. Anguish, pain, misery, all these emotions went through my mind a thousand and one times, and I couldn’t really sleep. And not to mention that before I woke up today, I had a pretty bad dream too, but I shan’t go into details about that, it would probably just bore you, and make myself seem rather silly too, after all it’s just a dream.

Sigh, I don’t wanna think about it already. Unconditional love? Love unreservedly? Do the terms even apply in real life in the first place? It sounds so cliched really, can we even love someone unconditionally, with no expectations or requirements. Afterall, this world is set by rules, played by rules. Even if you wanna love and make commitments with someone, you would have to play by his or her rules, or your own eventually. So tell me, how do you expect me to believe, such a ludicrous term here? And don’t even get me started on the term materialistic love, I can probably debate about that till there’s no day and night I tell ya. This is fucking irrational nonsensical, period.

You know, I suddenly feel so cheap. I try to tell myself, hey I’m just trying to be her friend here, I do not have ulterior motives. She trusts you too, you shouldn’t really take advantage of her trust or anything. Yet as days goes by, I find myself doing things which doesn’t concede with whatever I’m saying, and I feel like a fucking loser. And in the first place, she already told me she’s happy with her single life at the current moment, so why am I still pinning my hopes, on something that’s rightfully impossible? Why can’t we just be platonic friends? I know I have been procrastinating to myself, but my affections for her is just like a fucking great aphrodisiac, something that I can’t control or abstain myself from. So tell me, what solutions do I have? I’m just fucking deluding myself, with this kind of illusion.

This is fucking meaningless. I know all that I had wrote, doesn’t even change a thing, a single thing. But yet I still wrote this. This is so fuckingly amusing. monsieur aaron out kthxbye.

“Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Will try to keep this short and sweet, since it’s pretty late. By concidence, I met Shaun and his gf, Jun at Bugis Junction’s MOS Burger this afternoon, while I was out chilling with Jimmy (seizure). Happy to see him, even though it’s just for a short while. Hey bro, catch up with you soon ok? And glad to see you in ‘live-action’ again, and Jun of course. (^ ^)

So me and Jimmy were chilling at MOS Burger, having my fav milk tea and his strawberry shake, and catching up on each other’s lives. It was great hanging out and talking to him, since we had so much in common. Looking forward to chilling out with you again bro, hehe.

After that we headed to Suntec, cause I wanted to go Royce to buy some chocolates, since I promised someone the other night. It was my first time buying, so after some sampling I bought two boxes, an au lait flavour and champagne flavour each, one for my girl buddy and one for her. Then after that accompanied Jimmy to Citylink back to Cityhall, since he had to go off to meet up with his friend. After that went to HMV to chill for awhile, before I headed back to Bugis to meet Pris and her friend Winfred and Patrick. Had a pretty long talk with Pris, it was good, since didn’t see her for quite awhile. Think she pretty liked the chocolates as well, she tried one on the spot when I opened it up for her to try it, hehe. Am quite happy, and it’s nice to see Patrick as well, since this was not the first time we had met, actually got to know each other already previously through Michelle and his bf Stan, the other night when we joined them for Zouk. After some hasty last minute decisions, we decided to catch the show Red Eye at the Bugis Cineplex. A pretty B-grade suspense thriller if you asked me, haha but oh well, I watched it for the company. (^ ^);

After the movie we parted our ways, since Patrick has to send Pris home, while I had to wait for her. She was celebrating her friend’s birthday at Kbox, cause she told me she has to stay past midnight probably, I decided to take the train back first, and headed to Pasir Ris’ 24hr kopi-tiam for supper, had my fav hokkien mee again with pork meatballs soup. Hmm yummy yum-yum! Then after supper she was already on the way back on cab so waited for her downstairs under her blk. So when she was finally back, we stayed downstairs and had a pretty long conversation again. Haha it’s always lotsa stuffs to talk, and I’m really happy when I’m with her. She tried the chocolates I gave her, and she really liked the chocs, save the wrapping details, cause if I included that she would probably kill me, nonetheless it was hilarious and amusing, haha. Kinda melted my heart actually, the way she smiled, it was already enough to send me into a state of karma ectasy. It’s like she just takes my breath away, the way she laughs, the way she talks. Haha ok enough mushy details. All I can say is, she totally makes my world alright again.

More to come. My life’s so bright now, that I hope this happiness would never leave me ever again. If only I can be this happy, every single day. May my world be filled with love and karma again. monsieur-aaron signing out. =))

“Love is a lot like wine: smooth, high, and sweet.”

I think I found my trail of light. A shimmering light of hope. It’s about time really. Time to walk out of my lonely shadows, and embrace whatever is waiting ahead of me.

She’s a pretty good conversationalist. I really enjoyed the conversations that we had, and she said something really nice to me just now that really cheered me up. Was pretty touched, it’s been a long time since someone actually said something like that to me, really really am quite surprised and happy at the same time. She also told me I could call her anytime, her phone is on 24/7 mostly, well of course it’s exaggerated in a way, since we basically spend about 8 hours sleeping out of the 24 hours, 7 days a week that we have on any other day, but yeah obviously I caught her hint heh. Would probably be calling her sometime soon, maybe tomorrow? Haha.

Everything’s pretty much still in its initial stages, I still don’t know much about her also. But one thing’s definite for sure, we both can really click, and converse with each other pretty well. I think that’s already a plus point, considering it’s really hard for me to find someone of the opposite sex, whom I can actually chat and talk with about various stuffs, and actually not getting bored. (you know some girls really can get OT etc) I mean sometimes I actually worry about what to speak with the opposite sex, trying to refrain myself from turning the conversation dry or boring, but with her, I feel like I can talk almost about anything under the sun, everything. It feels really good and special in a way.

More to come. I don’t know what’s ahead of me, or for both of us. One thing for sure, she’s pretty much the reason, where I can wake up to every morning now, feeling happy and blissful, in a state of ecstasy. It’s weird in a way, cause I haven’t felt like this for a long time, really a long time.

I really hope things will turn out to be really smooth-sailing this time. As in I hope she’s really the one for me, my future partner, probably even my future wife to-be. Afterall, I had my last relationship about more than a year ago, and was pretty devastated by it. Though the break-up didn’t really had a reason nor choice behind it, I shouldn’t really get upset over it I guess. As much as I had suffered from the emotional trauma, I believe it’s high-time that I should start moving on in life again, since alot of things in life are pretty much beyond us, and we can only move on as it is. So from today onwards, I hope I can put my past behind, and face whatever’s lying ahead of me. YES I CAN DO IT! IKIMASSHOI IKU YO! (^ ^)V

Some guy I really detested had the cheek to write about me and my stuffs on his blog again, despite my stern warning to him sometime back. Below are some of his distasting comments he has written on his blog. (heh talk about talk is cheap)

I also asked about him and I heard he was coming late and other stuffs.

I’m ain’t the kind to keep my emotions and feelings locked by a random selected password. What’s the use of keeping an online blog when it’s all a deception?

Pretty stupid right? I mean, why make such comments in the first place? Does it make you feel better? Do you even know me well at all? I’m sorry to say, but as much as you wish to acknowledge my relationship with you, I would say I’m not even interested to acknowledge your existence in the first place. You are not even acquainted with me to start with. You’re just that someone whom I had helped you before previously, even offering you a free working keyboard when you asked me for it, but you chose to turn sides in response to some people condemning you, because you didn’t choose to accept the principles of life, as well as respecting your friends around you. First and foremost, you made use of the trust your friends has given you. Talking about borrowing money, and not even telling your friends when you would be able to return them, with no given dead-line. (Even bank loans also have a dead-line) Despite them threatening you, you can give excuses like you need to save your money for your future studies and stuff. But when your friends go to expensive restaurants you can just tag along with no problem, giving the excuse that just because they are your friends, you have the rights of tagging along with them. What kind of bullshit is this? Do you even know the term liability? You actually borrowed money from your friends, expecting that you would have zero-liability for it. Taking them for granted, you shirked your responsibility aside and chose to prioritized your values over your purchases of games, rather than returning the money back to them, when you could. Just ask anyone, while touching your own heart, do you even think they would think twice next time about lending money to you, say when you really need it in future, for dire purposes? Honestly I don’t think so.

And about the quotes you spoke in your blog, of course I have something to say also. Firstly, no I didn’t arrange to meet them promptly at the Natsu Matsuri event on Saturday. I told Brandon I would meet them at the venue itself, you can verify with him if you don’t believe me. I was late because of the weather, and I chose to go at whatever time I feel fit. I didn’t stood anyone up, so no I believe I didn’t do anything wrong at all. About you referring to other stuffs, I have no idea what it is. If you have to courage to own up about it, I would be most glad to entertain you. (there’s always the comments page, please feel free to use it) And why would you even try to ask about me in the first place? Did I tell you that I really detest you in the first place? If you didn’t know that, now you know. And please stop stalking me ok, you fucking gay shit.

Oh, and if you didn’t realise, I chose to password-protect some of my entries, because it’s to prevent people like you from intruding my privacy. Please respect people’s privacy, have some self-respect. Thank you very much. That’s all gentlemen. The show’s over. Comments are definitely welcomed. (^ ^)

I attended the Summer Festival event held at Changi Japanese school last Saturday, it’s a yearly event organised by the Japanese Association of Singapore. Managed to make my way there myself after the weather started clearing up in the evening (pretty bad weather, it was raining on and off that day) and finally met up with the rest of the sgGamers gang that was already at the venue. It was my first time to such an event, and it was thanks to Val that I had the chance to attend the event, since he’s got the advance tickets for it. Of course it’s not free, I paid 10 bucks for the tickets but I say it was pretty reasonable, since it came with coupons for a main dish as well as some for you to buy side-dishes, drinks and even for playing mini-games at the stalls there. Anyway in summary, it was a pretty nice experience for me, and I also got to catch up with my friends like Syahmi, haven’t seen him in awhile ever since he got enlisted into NS. And then of course there was also the pretty controversial topic among us guys on who’s the girl that’s with Val throughout the evening at the event. But at the end of the day, it seems like fate was just playing a game on us, cause I found out that Debbie was actually just living a few blks away from me, yes both of us are extreme-easterns. (haha what a term)

So after the event, we decided to head down to Orchard for some supper, then chatted about lotsa random stuffs (Brendam told us some hideous and ugly stories about him again, but I’m not surprised at all) until about 1am, before we all finally decided to end the night, and headed home via nightbus service. So on the bus ride home, me Val and Debbie discussed about various random topics and issues again, exchanging some opinions here and there, and then some. After Val and Sky alighted, me and Debbie caught up with each other’s personal lives abit, and it was only then we got to know each other better. It was really nice knowing her, she’s actually pretty friendly and jovial, not those very cold ‘dao‘ type that I first thought to be. Well first impressions can be pretty misleading, so I’m not totally bothered at all. After we alighted at her stop, had a slow scroll with her together while walking her home and before we parted decided to exchange contacts with each other, after that it was finally home sweet home for me, in the early wee hours of the morning. (^ ^)’

Ok I’m here blogging again. So freaking stressed, frustrated and bored, cause I just finished burning midnight oil for tonight, was busy the whole night mugging hard at my books with only my Sony NW-HD5 been my sole companion. I didn’t even touch or logon MSN today man, blame it on my laziness earlier on in the day, no mood to study or do anything, so just slack off and watch animes lor. *lol* So just now, earlier on in the evening after I had my dinner, decided to give a go at my NDS and continue with my Jump Super Stars, but oh boy, it was damn wrong mistake, cause it was seriously fun fun fun and I was totally sucked into it, and before I knew it, 3 hours just went passed like that. (._.'’)

But I really have to say this. Jump Super Stars for the Nintendo DS is seriously one of its own. Anyone who’s into anime or manga culture, even just abit, would love the playing experience in this brilliant game. This is just like the ultimate cross-over, in terms of any anime or manga-licensed game ever, it’s like heavenly karma or nirvana for any otaku-alike. This is also one of the more serious games for the DS platform to-date, compared to the current crop of innovative and yet weird games, like for example Nintendogs, or even one of my personal favs, Pac-pix. Gameplay-wise I guess I would categorise Jump Super Stars under the RPG-fighting genre, and the rewards system is pretty good. You get to unlock komas(read: manga strips) that form up like any other pages in any mangas, and when you match a koma with the right character, you get to unlock the manga characters most famously from the Shonen Jump history, be it whether it’s a support character, or a playable character. Heh, who knows probably after completing this game, I would be interested in watching some of the animes that the characters were in, pretty cool stuff yea.

(more…)

Today was kind of an unfruitful day for me, woke up about late noon. Didn’t do much studying either, was feeling pretty slacked, probably cause it was a Friday, and I wasn’t really in the mood to face my books. Pretty much bummed myself infront of my PC, thinking of ideas for my portfolio designs, and then some chatting here and there with friends on MSN via Trillian. Pretty boring day.

Anyway, I finally got myself to finish GITS Stand-alone Complex 2nd GIG yesterday night. Like fucking finally. After 3 long months of watching the series in btw here and there, it’s finally concluded and came to an end, so much for the mind-twisting plots and friggin’ politics going on inside it. And what really surprised me at the end, is that as suspected, there really was some kind of emotional ties going on between Kuze and Motoko. That said, I feel that LMF really did a good job at subbing the series, but I just couldn’t wait that long for them to finish the rest of the episodes after 23, so I downloaded the rest of the episodes from HuH, which pales in comparison in terms of the encoding and subbing quality of course. Very tempted to buy the 1st and 2nd GIG DVDs for collection, a very good anime series to sit down and watch, though it ain’t everyone’s cup of tea definitely, since in my opinion it has one of the most mind-swirling plots, political issues and complicated sci-fi theories to be tackled with, in the anime. Still, the visual treats are something to be rewarded with, kudos to Production I.G studio for doing such a great job behind it, as well as the great soundtracks coupled with the great vocal talents of Yoko Kanno and Scott Matthew.

And on a dismaying side-note, it seems like one of my anticipated games for the US release on the PSP, is getting really mediocre reviews. Death Jr. developed by Backbone Entertainment, will be published by Konami and is slated for release next week. So far, several game sites have previewed it and it ain’t looking too good. Oh well, things are looking bad enough for the current state of PSP game releases already in my opinion. These 2 to 3 months has been a pretty dry period for the portable platform, with almost no releases worth mentioning. Honestly I doubt the situation would turn for the better until end of this year at least, for now I think the Nintendo DS has a upper-hand on the situation, with very strong and steady stream of games releases situated, and it’s also one of the reasons why I prefer my DS all these while for gaming. Talking about the DS, I’m heading down to Gamescore tomorrow to collect my Jump Super Stars which I preordered sometime back. And they are gonna have a JSS wireless multi-player session tomorrow outside the shop too, would be interesting to say the least. Can’t wait to try out the game tomorrow, I’m meeting up with Ronald too who has already bought and played the game, so probably can ask him to guide me along the game. (^ ^);

So it’s the weekends again. Will be meeting up with Jerm and Kaiwei for dinner later in the evening in downtown, haven’t seen them since X’mas last year, quite happy to be able to catch up with them again. Kaiwei just recently ORDed, omedetto man my friend! NSmen liao, mai play play liao ah, hurhurhur. Jerm ain’t too far off also, just a few more months to endure and your chance will be here, take it easy brother, your time will come soon hehe. Can’t wait to see them, probably have lotsa stuffs to catch up on. Ok time for bed. Good nite everyone, and enjoy your weekend ahead. (whoever you are heh)

雲のむこう、約束の場所 also known as The Place Promised in Our Early Days (Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho) is a brilliant animation film by Makoto Shinkai, who was also the creator of the highly-acclaimed anime short-film Voices of a Distant Star (Hoshi no Koe) which won several awards in Japan. Hoshi no Koe is a 25-minutes-long anime entirely created in 2D and 3D CG that he painstakingly did all by himself on his PowerMac G4, except for the background music, voice acting, and such. I didn’t know about this guy’s existence at all, but after watching Kumo no Mukou, I think he’s a very impressive story-writer, director and CG-artist. It’s not very often that an anime of this caliber comes along in my opinion. The artwork in it is very beautifully done and smooth, with nice scenary shots and excellent cinematography direction, coupled with a touching story-script and consistent flow of plot unfolding. One of those very few animes that impressed me in both artwork and story-line wise, and also urged me to buy the original DVD for it. Yes I admit I’m not really a big anime fan, I don’t follow the crowd and go for mainstream animes nor am I like those otaku friends of my who goes for almost any kind of animes. Truthfully speaking, the only animes that really hit me and got me hooked are probably Ghost in the Shell (OVA and TV), RahXephon and Initial-D. Very seldom does something like this come along that makes me do some reading up on its creator, searching for his past works, and making me order his DVDs of his works. Yes it’s really this good, so if you haven’t caught this anime yet, do yourself a favour, please watch it. Buy the DVDs. Support his works.

Honestly to say, I think the reason why the anime really impressed and touched me, was because of the theme and its values behind the story. Two teenagers, and a girl. A dream of building an aircraft, a promise to see what was the tower beyond the clouds. It doesn’t have a very fantasy setting behind the story, everything was actually pretty realistic, no overly-exaggerated storylines or characters with powers no-way one can see in today’s reality. Yet it has the moving elements, and the same magical effect that comes from the fairy tale of the sleeping beauty that so many of us are familiar with. Wonderful. You can download the trailer here, do leave some comments behind and let me know how you feel about it, and those of you who have my MSN, feel free to drop me a msg if you need the ‘alternative’ source to watch it first. ^ ^

So anyway, I had a long talk with Lydia tonight on MSN just now. It’s been awhile since we did such a long and faithful chat, though it’s more like I was lending a listening ear, while she vents her frustrations out. We did exchange some ideas abt the various issues though, and also got to know each other deeper, both in our thinking and dreams. I think it’s a pretty nice exchange we had there, though sometimes it kinda depressed me that we can only communicate in this way, even though she’s only up-north and a drive away. Promised to drop by and visit her later this year, since I think it would also do good for myself with a break after my exams, perhaps drag a friend or two along too, go JB and do some shopping or something.

On the other side, someone is still playing ‘cold war’ with me. Not that I can help it, I did all I can, she just doesn’t wanna compromise and sit down for a talk. So fine with me, if she can do things so non-chalantly, I guess I will leave it as that. Just wanna say I’m quite disappointed with her actions, really thought she’s matured enough to resolve things as an adult. I mean c’mon man, combine both of our ages together and we can be counted as almost half a decade years old liao, yet she still plays this kind of ‘cold war’ shit thing with me. *shakes head*

I might be very blunt on this issue here, and I might also offend someone with my remarks or comments on this entry. But seriously, nowadays it’s getting harder to find friends who share the same frequency with you as you grow older. Despite the good (harsh to them, cos reality is often harsh) advices you disperse to them, they don’t take it as constructive criticism from you, and might even think ya spouting bad about them. I mean c’mon, if you think because some people never criticise you or give you comments abt the way you do things, you can highly assume and think it’s perfectly and fuckingly alright the way you’re doing things, then I say please fucking wake up your idea and change yourself. There is a very fine line btw tolerating your attitude and temper, and accepting you for who you are. The tolerance and understanding that I give to my friends, is not to be taken for granted, all my friends will incur the wrath from me once they cross that very fine line. You have been in your own comfort zone for long enough, have you ever spared a thought for the friends you said you care for? Touch your heart and ask yourself.

With that, I shall end my entry for tonight with this: “A friendship’s promise ain’t meant to be broken, keep them well or you might just lose your friends someday.”

Well well well, so Singapore is finally big o’ fourty now. We’ve been enjoying 40 good years of independance, prosperity and peace and I’m sure damn glad to be part of this little proud country located on the globe. As I’m slowly shaping up to be a responsible young adult and hopefully in future, a successful local entrepreneur too, I sincerely wish to see certain things here that would improve eventually, like the public transport system (SMRT still doesn’t improve during peak hours, and accidents still happen) as well as some other political issues here and there (which can be found on the Home section of the ST papers occasionally) and not to forget the recent NKF organisation issue that took place, hoping in future things will make for a better turn with a more reformed system in place and all that, so as to make this country a better place for everyone to co-exist and live in. All in all, I think it’s still very important to appreciate and be contented with what we have currently at present, and how things are slowly shaping up to an improvement, slowly but gradually.

Aside from that, recently things in my life ain’t exactly on the right track, or should I say optimistic. Usually, I always think of myself as a happy-go-lucky kind of person, but recently I don’t seem to be able to put or fit myself into that characteristic anymore. Am I slowly shaping up to be a different person? Maybe. Perhaps it’s the environment, or perhaps it’s just the people around me, that caused the change in me to that effect. I don’t deny, sometimes I’m quite influenced by the people I hang around with, but all in all I think I’m still trying to be myself, and not ‘faking’ to be someone else I’m not. It’s just like, you’re trying hard not to create a pseudo of yourself, but sometimes you do see an ‘alternative’ image of your own self while you’re with others. Does it sound familiar to you? If so, you might have been in this kind of scenario before, probably due to your peers around you, or mainly because of that particular situation or circumstances you’re in, that’s all. Some things just can’t be helped, I guess.

Anyway, let’s talk about happier stuffs shall we? Let’s talk about food. I haven’t really been checking out the latest fast-food chain or restaurant in downtown, but if there’s anything new in my food dictionary at the current moment that I haven’t tried out, it’s gotta be Pepper Lunch and Carl’s Jr. To my knowledge, Pepper Lunch is based off the Japanese fast-food joint in Japan, which serves mainly teppanyaki BBQ food. They have grilled steaks, hamburger plates in very nice decent servings, at least from the menu I have seen on their website. Looks pretty oiishi, no? Do check it out soon, only one outlet so far and it’s located at the basement of Takashimaya.

Now let’s move on to Carl’s Jr, which is based off the popular American fast-food joint in US. I think I’m pretty late on this one, cause most of my friends have told me they had already tried this one, compared to Pepper Lunch. It’s something like Burger King, they serve burgers in huge servings, at least 1.5 times that of BK’s Whopper, for example. And for $10.50, you get a combo set meal which includes a small packet of fries and free-flow soda. Ahh, free-flow of soda? Sounds nice to me, no more of that one-dollar stupid top-up crap at Subway. Still, I think for american-style burgers, nothing beats Billy Bombers. But I guess I will find time to try Carl’s Jr someday. At present there’s 2 outlets, one at Marina Square and another at FE Plaza if I’m not wrong.

Guess I will stop here for tonight. I have a couple more stuffs to write about, but I guess I will leave those for tomorrow, will make time to blog again. Till then adios and enjoy the holiday minna-san! (^ ^)
