Tampines Want

Tampines One wasn't that big a deal at all, familiar stores around the mall and Uniqlo, which I dun understand why people are crazy about it, its pretty much like any other shopping malls in Singapore. I realised we're lacking creativity and better ideas, I mean freakin' hell there are 2 existing malls in Tampines, Tampines Mall and Century Square, why another mall that has similar stuff in it? Uber to the max DUMB.

Can't we have something special, a hub where specialty stuff can only be gotten from that particular mall. Just like Bras Basah to get Arts/Crafts stuff, Furniture Mall to get furniture. Making it unique, for people to make their way there to get stuff they need, rather than making it too accessible to populate more fatass around. Imagine what could happen if each particular train station has 3 malls in that area, sounds ridiculous? But clearly its happening....

Putting that aside, I was there with Jiajia to explore and of course, to eat.

Grading System Of Food Operations

Recent cases of unhygienic food which led to food poisoning and deaths. Now we elaborately explain the establishment of the grading system.

NEA Grading System

The Grading System for Eating Establishments and Foodstalls was introduced in June 1997. Its two main aims were to provide a more structured system of appraisal for food outlets and to motivate licencees to improve and maintain good personal and food hygiene at their stalls. Besides providing recognition to licensees to improve and maintain a high standard of cleanliness, housekeeping and hygiene, this system enables the public to make a more informed choice when patronizing these stalls. Eating establishments and foodstalls are assessed by NEA and given the following grades of food hygiene:

Excellent >85%

Good 70% - 84%

Average 50% - 69%

Poor <50% style="font-weight: bold;">

Straight A's Programme

Building upon this system, the NEA has since introduced the Straight A's programme for school canteens and foodcourts. This programme sees the end of poor practices such as handling cooked food with bare hands, using chipped or cracked crockery, leaving cooked food exposed without proper cover, stacking of plates of food for sale and using uncovered refuse bins. NEA officers began working in partnership with major food court companies in Sept 2002 to boost the food hygiene standard in their outlets through a self-regulation program (SRP). The main component of the SRP is an in-house food hygiene monitoring system that supplements the regular inspections carried out by NEA.

To further assist the general dumbass public, we need a more concise grading system that in detail provides an exact understanding after acknowledging the grade. I personally recommend the implementation of the below grading system:

Korean BBQ Frenzy

My recent astonishment towards Korean BBQ has brought some frenzy amongst the crowd. I sensed a few more to come in near future.

Victims - Jiajia & Suling

Victims - Family

Victims - Jolin, Kim & Agnes

Pictionary All Gone Wrong

A game of Pictionary led to numerous misunderstandings, good or bad wasn't exactly on our minds. We just couldn't imagine besides the existence of lousy drawings, there's actually drawings that went beyond atrocity. Below are the fine examples of what I meant:

Bell
(We were worried, VERY worried)

Pepper
(From hell)

Mouse/Cat
(It doesn't really matter anymore)

Batman
(His remains - God rest his soul)

Kiwi fruit
(Hairy ball & Furry Boob - Kids cover your eyes)
The rest - The answer is definitely out there, somewhere

Can't remember was it pencil and paper
(Hell~ We gave up)
