Happy SG50..!

Hi Y'all...!

Long time no-see huh? :D

Yeap..it's been around 10 months since my latest post. [i'm writing as if i have a reader. :'D]

during that time, A LOT happened. A LOT of things and events to be grateful for. the most major thing will be i'm in Singapore now!!

Blessed enough with a job, turns out my first year in the land of merlion is also the nation's 50th year of independence, SG50: The Golden Jubilee. So today, i'm back with a very special post as a comeback: SG50 everybodyyy.... [i know you saw the title, soo.. *awkward smile*] It wouldn't cover all SG50 activities island-wide [of course] i'm just going to share a bit of my experience during this festive event through some photos. Honestly, it's because took too much. just way too much to put in instagram alone. :p so expect some [i mean a lot of] 1:1 pics.

so.. enjoy..! [at least, try to.. XD]

1. free MRT and Bus(es) ride on National Day..!

uuu yeahh... awesome, isn't it? *wait until you see inside*

don't even need to tap!

Ok amount of people, right?

still moderate 'lah'.. 

Red on red on red! XD not sure if it's too much..!
PS: that's my new cute-little-bae! got it as an early bday gift from my beloved(s) :*

This was the condition inside the train. x_x

super full..!

i was going from Orchard to Bugis. this was in the interchange.
but believe me, this was still ok. scroll down to see why. :p

2. Share a coke with Singapore! [details]

The Roadshow [for locations, check here] 

Well, min. $10 means at least 3 of 6 cans pack.

Share a coke with meee...! *Hurrayyy* 

3. National Day Celebration.

supposed to be National Day Parade, but i didn't get to see the parade, soo..let's just call it "celebration". This is what happen: On the National Day Eve, I went to MBS and unexpectedly got to see a [very] beautiful fireworks. Then the next day, me, my sister, her bf and his sister [i know it's seems complicated, right? i should go by names] went to MBS to see what's going on there.. and..

see...??? it's inside MBS.

people...everywhere...

yeyy!! we made it out..! but see??

SEEEEEE????

those are some of the luckiest people that got NDP Ticket..
[envy] ._.

and 'those' are A LOT.

told ya i was ALL RED. red on red on red. XD
BTW, Thank GOD we found quite a space. like not that crowded.

my sista and her bf [that i mentioned before]

like most of you, choppers and jets are not a very common thing to me..

so..

i took pictures. 

like..

A-LOT.

and i'm not used to that sound as well..!
[thanks to my sis @noviabenny for this pic]

This was how the Bayfront MRT station - entrance situation.

and if you realize, it wasn't even the nearest entrance from the mall.

yep! thanks to all the SMRT-Uncle(s).. we survived this..!
i need to mention this, they're very thoughtful. they let the parents with baby-stroller enter from the sides.
i mean, can you imagine if those parents and baby should be amongst this crowd??

 4. Fireworks and night-view. [still at MBS]

ps: these was taken on the eve. 

uploaded this one on my instagram @anthony.ali 

so that pretty much it.

i mean i got some more photos but i think this is too much alrd, right?? [some thoughts on the comments section?] whether it's too much photos? bad english? or.. bad photos [hopefully this is not the case tho ._.

[THANKSSSSS] :D

PS: I might do some food-reviews again. but nowadays i mainly put all reviews on my instagram, i keep it short, but you can still find the name of the menu, prices, and location there to..

Spiced-Up

Tadaa!!!
The long waited new post! [As if i have loyal readers yet] *LOL* *tears*
I'm back after a loooong~ loooong~~ while. (i guess the word "a-bit" i used in my previous post wasn't that "bit" enough)
[Many things happened during that 'while'. You-don't-wanna-know.] *sigh*

Anyway, this one is for you who loves indonesian food. I mean indonesian-famous-spicy

So there is this not-so-new restaurant called "spesial sambal" [you know spesial = special. While sambal literally means grounded chilli pepper]. 28 kinds. Your choice. *lovestruck* i love peppers.

Ok, back to the review.
So i came here with my church-buddies with hungry tummies -- it was the fasting-day. and guess what? we were put in the waiting list. Hmm... the good thing was we got to place our orders while waiting.

Yes! they're that packed.

A little while after, it's our turn..! *yay!!* and were told to go upstair - the second floor and wait for our orders to be prepared. 

2nd floor - we get to sit on the floor.

minutes later - after a good cup of 'teh manis anget' [sweet warm tea. Warm sweet tea? Whatever. You get what i mean, don't you?] and a simple-mix-fruit-platter,

Mix Fruit [watermelon, pineapple, and honeydew] - idr. 4K

here are the main courses :

'Sambal Pete' - idr. 6K

Jamur Goreng [Fried Mushroom] idr. 10K

Cumi Goreng Tepung [Fried Calamari] idr. 9K // Pete Goreng [Fried Stinky-Beans] idr. 4.5K
Telur Dadar Gebal Gebul ['gebal-gebul' omelette] idr. 5.5K // Ca Kangkung [stir fried water-spinach] idr. 5.5K
Sambal Terasi Matang [cooked shrimp-paste 'sambal'] idr. 2.5K // Lele Goreng [deep fried catfish] idr. 7.5K
Tahu Goreng [Fried Tofu] idr. 7K // Sambal Bawang Ijo idr. 2K

I was surely hungry. *LOL* 

From what i see, they mainly serve javanese-indonesian food. nothing fancy, but considering the price - totally worthy. 

See that green thing in my 'sambal'? Today's highlight.
It's called "pe-te" / "petai" here in indonesia. [no! Not peter - pete. Nor the one you see in mickey mouse]

Googled it, and i guess some english speaking country call it stinky beans. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not stinky like a 1-week-old-socks. It's just not for everyone. Just like durians, some people love them dearly, others hate them. But if you happened to visit indonesia, you should really try 'em. Its ridiculously healthy too! [Google "stinky beans health benefits"] XD

It was a good dinner. A good-cash-friendly-dinner.
Honestly? It wasn't our first time tho. We were satisfied, so we came back, and will surely coming back AGAIN.

I mean, did you see those motorbikes?
