Oyster at East Coast Park

Dad and mom were here in Singapore! We brought them to lots of places and one of it was East Coast Park! Before i elaborate on the trip itinerary (in which i will write in my next post), i would like to ask you guys, do you know these shell/stone looking are actually oysters??
LOL
Lots of ppl didnt know bout that. Last time when i was in Langkawi, i used to go to the beach and knock on this hard shell to get the oysters! Its fun "knocking" but be careful, as the sharp edges will scratch ur skin! (i got it when i was at East Coast P.) >.<
Let me tell u more bout oysters!! (my favourite!! eheehe!!)

The word oyster is used as a common name for a number of distinct groups of bivalve molluscs which live in marine or brackish habitats. The valves are highly calcified.

Some kinds of oyster are commonly consumed by humans, cooked or raw. Other kinds, such as pearl oyster, are not.

Health benefits of eating oysters

Molluscs such as cockles, mussels, oysters, scallops and clams are very low in cholesterol. These species contain about half as much cholesterol as chicken, and much less cholesterol than most red meats. In addition, they are high in such nutrients as Omega-3 oils, Zinc and Vitamin D, and are very low in fat. (further in depth explanation)

• Oysters are the most concentrated natural source of zinc, which is essential to maintaining a strong immune system, supports wound healing, maintains the senses of taste and smell. Zinc deficiency can result in symptoms such as slow growth, poor appetite, decreased wound healing, loss of hair, impaired senses of taste and smell, more frequent infections.
• Oyster is a good source of protein, each serving of six medium oysters contains six grams of protein. The protein found in oysters is high in tyrosine, an amino acid used by the brain to help regulate mood and adapt to stress. (:D)
• Oyster is low in fat and calories. A serving of oysters contains just 2 grams of fat.
• Oyster is low in cholesterol, it only contain 55mg of cholesterol per serving.
• Oyster help maintain collagen and elastin fibers that give skin its firmness and help prevent sagging and wrinkle. ( i know this!)
  
• Oyster is a known aphrodisiac because it is rich in amino acids that trigger increased levels of sex hormones. Another reason is that high zinc content of oyster aids in the production of testosterone. (lol! i know this too!)
  
• Oyster can help improve vision.
• Oyster is also rich in iron, calcium and vitamin A.

BEDS 031109

It was Tuesday that night, not any weekend, but my colleague DIN called up and asked us out for dinner which later followed by drinking session at BEDS, somewhere at Muhammad Sultan (i dont know how to go, the taxi driver brought us there!) lol
All of us went except Betsey who was still on leave and also the new guy - Kenny, who got something on that night! Total 10 of us went (oops, DEV wasnt inside cos i didnt snapped his pic! lol)... Ordered 3 towers of beers and i believe each and everyone of us enjoyed the session, oh! plus with the same old karaoke moments in the pub!
Lyn has updated the pictures in FB.. (few arglee pic of mine... HmmmHmmm!!)
Anyway, this date was the last day of my colleague - William, he has left. All the best in his future undertaking then!!
:P
Thats all pal! :)

Not much, but just takin for fun! i was hell sleepy that time!! but dont worry, i didnt fall asleep when i was in the pub or in the taxi! Hehh!! *i knw hw to take care of myself!* akekekee..
So what do u think after lookin at those pictures?? Does he looked like how i'd describe earlier??? lol

Halloween 09

Halloween also known as All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve, is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31st and the activities of the day include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films! Sounds fun right?

Its so different from Chinese's Ghost Festival, everyone will be very cautious on night activities or even afraid to tell ghost stories or dress up like one! The westerners instead, put on scary make ups and costumes for the celebration!! They don't believe in supernatural and souls eh?? *everyone got their own beliefs and perceptions!* :D
I never celebrated any of this for all my 22 years living on earth! Urgh! I wanted to celebrate this but, sigh! No one with me for this! I got that perception that we shud at least try something new, i bet it'll be fun!! Its just like face painting, i had that when i went fr my sis's company event. Its really fun being different! Hahah~
No exception this year, its still the same! But last night, i went for a drink with my colleague. The guy whom i wrote about in my previous post that he watched porn, buddha chanting, and talks bour karma all that stuff.. He's resigning and will be leaving on the 3rd of Nov. New guy has been hired. Yeah! its a guy again and do u knw whats the most coincident thing?? Their names were almost the same! Current one is Tan Wee Liang and the new one who's yet to come called Tan Wee Xiang! omg! cantonese said .. "dim gai gam che!".. lol
The rest FFK (Fong Fei Kei) us (turn us dwn last minute).. So since i alr promise to go out, so i went with him fr drinking at one of the pub there.. Its at Boat Quay. i never been there, its my first time, normally i'll just go Clarke Quay. Haha! Nothing much to do, just drinking and singing and see him flirting with the girls! Haha.. zzz.. Not flirting la! lol... First time see how guys get to know girls on the spot! *desperado-nya!* I ignored him, then he told me, "i'm single leh.. if not like that then how?" I just looked at him and said "well, i dont knw, but u can go on with what u feel like, its ur probs"... LOL
Once reached home, i put down my bag, take off my watch and bracelet, and slepppppppppp~ Duh! Damn sleepy and dizzy!! *dirty piggy* ehehehe..
And this morning, really dont feel lik goin to work ler!! so sleepy!! but still, i come to work early as usual!! But hor.. my colleague.. Sigh!! late again!! yday late for 2 hours plus, today is 30minutes late!!! sigh..

Moral value of this story: If wanna learn ppl go drinking, be smart and responsible! Dont come late for work the next day!!!
Went home at about 12am, dropped me off first.. :D and thats it! 31st Oct ended like that! X)

Monday FISH

Monday was our meeting day in which everyone have to attend (if possible) and gather at KC, our main showroom. And last Monday, i'd predicted earlier that they'll be calling the meeting off but i was wrong because when i called up to inquire, they said "Yea, the meeting is ON".. Hmmm! Wht is there to discuss/talk about? The senior GM wasnt around and whatever that need to be acknowledge has been shared to the rest few days before Monday. But anyway, we went to KC and when we reached, everyone was still hanging around, chit chatting and some even just took their lunch. (time at the moment was 2pm ++). Waited til almost 3pm, no news, not being called to the meeting area... *wonder* and *cursing*.. So went to approached that AM that insist us to go for the meeting, and he gave me a stupidly yet silly expression and said "you guys can go back now, there's nothing to talk about right?"..
Oh! he asked me?? then my lady AM said, "you see. just now u said ON and now they come already u asked them go back".. (but lady AM not in angry mood, because she's a gd friend to tat AM, she was just teasing).. And so, me and my colleague took a taxi back to showroom. That time was about 3plus, and i told my colleague that i am leaving early because to replace my 3 hours OT that the management wants me to stay late in the showroom due to installation of display set. He looks sad but no choice, i gotta replace it now or else, once he left, im afraid i cant replace it anymore because i doubt they wil found any new staff soon! :/

Where i go after leaving the showroom? Home?? Nah~ i went to meet Darl at ION! lol.. He was on leave on tat day too cos he need to go to ICA to do some stuff.. So we went fr lunch together.. hehehe.. and the photos above were all the foods that we ordered at FISH & CO. Initially, i thought i was craving for something there but i was wrong, its not that restaurant.. I actually wanted Manhattan Fish Market! ARgh~ I rmbered wrongly. The menu list in Fish & CO wasnt much... and its not tempting too!! But its ok, still edible.. LOL..
After our lunch, we head straight to BUGIS street fr some earrings shopping.. hehehe! Bought a few.. Its been so long since i last visited that street.. Still crowded as before.. :D
Its been a tiring day for both of us.. but its a nice outing.. (vy long didnt go out paktor already... hardly get weekends off !!! damn damn)!
Enjoy the photos when you;re hungry! i bet it help muchie!! XD
