想你的星期五。。。

星期五 - 雨



下着细雨的天,慢慢的脚步。

老婆今晚出去了而我却应为“累”而推掉了活动,自己一个人回到家。。。

眼看着对面的住屋。。。往你的家的那方看着。。。脑海里不由自觉的想着你。。。

脑里出现了好多个如果。。。

“哥,今天老婆不在meet kopitiam leh."
“老婆不在,今晚过来打通宵NBA?”
“你最近下载了什么?我过来看?”
“你在媽媽家回來?打包食物給我!!!”

這些統統都不可能。。。完全只能想。。。

痛。。。好痛。。。

30岁的感动。。。

 Smithankyou     5/28/2013 01:44:00 PM     chinese, cry, diary, mtv     No comments   
认识我的大家都知道我每天都嘻嘻哈哈的过,都认为我是个开心果。其实小时候的我也是个爱哭鬼。。。

被骂 - 哭
打电动输给哥哥 - 哭
功课做不完 - 哭

我也忘了从及时开始我不哭了。。。

在十七岁那年,我最亲爱的外婆去世了。。。 我没哭。。。

我问我知己,

是不是我不够爱她。。。

是不是我故作坚强。。。

是不是我伤心过渡。。。

我没有一个答案。。。就是没哭。。。

后来读书留级了, 当兵时有点不愉快,做生意有一点小失败 。。。 都没哭出来

哭, 对我来说不代表脆弱。哭, 对我来说就是一种感觉。

其实很多次我都想哭,哭过就算了,可是就是哭不出来。。。

 

去年的我,在生活上遇到了很多坡则。。。 感情上与哥哥的离开。。。

我哭了。。。

也不知道为什么,自从去年的经历,

我找回了泪。。。

我找回了感动。。。

我读着 Mitch Albom 的书, 我哭了。。

听,看,想 都可以让我流泪。



今早读着已经读过多便的《灌篮高手》,当在最后的一幕,打败了山王,大猩猩的奋斗,三井的坚持,樱木的忍耐既然令我有所感受,感觉到一种慕名的快乐与感动。。。我流泪了。。。

一个读过多便的故事,一样的结局既然给了我不同的感受。。。

终于找到了失去的一种情感。。。

30快到了。。。找回了失去的感动。。。


史密夫先生,男人哭吧不是罪。。

Cuisine Master Hot Pot at Boat Quay - A fine dining hot pot experience.

 Smithankyou     5/02/2013 08:30:00 AM     chinese, Food Review, hot pot, sponsored post, steamboat     1 comment   
So I was invited to a food tasting session last week with the wife 

Hot pot eating has always been one of the favorite thing to do for many Chinese family locally especially for occasions such as Chinese New Year or birthdays. I didn't use to be a fan of it because I thought that everything goes into the soup just taste like the soup but under the influence of the wife I became a fan of it. Not just about eating the food but also enjoying the time gathering around the table and chit chat.


Singaporean being Singaporean has a "standard" way of eating hot pot at the hot pot places. Typically hot pot places in Singapore are all buffets so most people will want the best value out of it and they will take all the most expensive food. Like a pile of prawns.

Randomly from on google.
That being said, do you believe that I went to a hot pot place and my hot pot meal only had 1 Prawn but I was still very satisfied and very happy?

Located at the heart of Singapore at Boat Quay, Cuisine Master Hot Pot (CM Hot pot) is a new hot pot restaurant that offers an alternate hot pot experience. Different from our typical all-you-can-eat hot pot, CM Hot pot offers an alternate hot pot fine dining experience where you get the best value out of eating high quality food and healthy food as compared to over eating just to "break even".


Look at the "atas" looking interior of this hot pot place! It is nothing like what I would have imagine. The wife and I felt so under dress the moment we stepped in.

We were in T-shirt and Singlet!! 
Other than the VIP Room and open walk in area, they also have a very nice open area on the top floor with a view facing one of Singapore's best night view.


As you all should know base on my recent two posts, I am a very lousy food blogger. I sat in front of this post for very long thinking of what to say, thinking of how to say and all I can say is that the fine dining experience is something that one has to experience it themselves to find out what it actually means.
We start the dinner with fruits! That's the healthier way!
 Their special Side Dish Trio. My favorite has to be the refreshing cherry tomato in the Orange sauce! This is super appetizing. 
One point to note about CM Hotpot is their eye for detail in everything even to the cups and every single other things.
The wine glass - Jue. 
This is the correct way to use a Jue.   
This is the wine bottle that can keep the wine warm but frankly the wine is too strong for my liking.
And this special looking hot guy pot.
And the most interesting part that it actually "pop up" from the bottom of the table. And this is currently 1st in Asia technology.
Video by the hardworking HP!
When was the last time you ate a hot pot with such good stuff?
Hungry yet? 

Yes, 1 prawn each only and if you are wondering, that fish head is real.
Even the meat is served so nicely!
One point to note, this hot pot other than the quality of food, the way it is being served is different from the usual, you also do not need to cook it yourself! Everything will be cooked and served by a server and everything will be cooked the right way.


At this point of this post you might have questions such as how much is this and what not. CM Hotpot's menu comes in a few different set. It is not an ala carte menu nor buffet but it is base on set menu which range from $49 - $133, The one shown above is actually the $78 menu with a slight addition. Do note that being a lousy food blogger and too happily indulge with eating my food, I did miss out a few of the items.

CM Hot Pot operates from 11am- 3pm, 6pm -11pm every Monday to Saturday.  They only operate on Sunday base on reservation only. 

You might ask again, who eats such fine dining from 11am - 3pm on a working day? To answer your question, CM Hot pot has a special lunch noodle menu! 




Special Buddha Jump Over The Wall Noodle!

Overall Verdict - 5 stars! The food, the experience, the ambience was really good. No doubt the price might be a little steep especially when you are comparing it to the typical local steam boat/hot pots but this is totally value for money. 

Address: 68 Boat Quay, Singapore 049856. (Facing the river, the inner area is known as circular road.)
Telephone : 6438 9979

Mr.Smith, you guys have to stop challenging my lousy food blog skill. This post took me like a good 2 - 3hrs! >:-(

Scolding People Online! Chinese Style!

 Smithankyou     2/27/2012 02:59:00 PM     chinese, omy, Video     No comments   
Remember I had an online "fight" with another blogger recently? The one that I made a silly video?

And apparently it's kinda fun doing such videos and I actually did another one!

No, not because I am bored or I really hate Alvin but it's for the "Speak mandarin campaign" contest.

Contest Video

Jokes aside, I think the importance in speaking proper mandarin has becoming more and more important in our daily lives. Our clients are coming in from China, we have more and more foreign workers coming into Singapore from China. Besides the importance of using it in our daily lives, I also think that it's important cause it's our culture and it's our root.

Although people these days felt that it's not so awesome being the "cheena pok" people but I am one who enjoys Chinese literature, Chinese histories, Chinese music and what not. Although my written Chinese has been on a down slope ever since Secondary school days but I must say i really still enjoy some interested Chinese literature stuff like deng mi or what not.

Mr.Smith, I am a cheena pok. so? big deal?

The Cheena Post...

 Smithankyou     5/16/2009 01:50:00 AM     blog, chinese, EmoSmith, love     No comments   
My Friend Says :

条件真的比感觉还来的重要吗??


谈恋爱如果只剩下条件的话,不是很悲惨吗??


条件能让你快乐??还是能让你幸福??


当你靠近一个人, 那种心跳加速,害羞的感觉。。。


你还有吗???

My Reply :

感觉虽重要,可是感觉会顺着时间而改变。。。

那种感觉也有可能是应为符合条件而产生的。。。

心跳加速,害羞的感觉是一种大家都渴望而喜欢的感觉。。。就像甜甜的初恋。。。 可是事实摆在眼前。。。 这是不可能长久的。。。

可是真爱是永恒的。。。

爱没有一个规规矩矩的访陈式。。。不要应为追求完美而失去更多。。。

大胆的去爱吧。。。

FYI: this took me more then 10 mins to type.. 他妈的。。。

This is really not simple...

Mr.Smith, Respect Chinese Blogger !
