There was a competition going on... its Strongman Challenge 2008!
Wow... i was so excited... its like the whole of Singapore Mister Fits are all gathered there... saw quite alot of people from the gyms I go to... then there was competition for the public... and i was so excited and sign up for it!
This is the Challenge!
I was actually quite tired from my gym workout this morning... and this competiton requires a lot of
thigh strength and
back... and I did
Deadlifts and
Squats this morning! omg... but well..just give it a try... its $500!
The record was 1:34
So I was in position... anyway those who tried are all very big size la.... big
tummy big
biceps big
chest big
legs...all so
big... but i am small compared to them... I think the public must be thinking... what is this guy doing here... haha... but its not the size that matters!
1...2...3... I took a deep breathe and Up... i squated like how I did squats this morning, and Lift it up like how i did my deadlifts... lol... and the time starts...
30 secs...Got one uncle from the public was talking to be and i chit chat with him... he say Go! i give you 4min! You can do it!
1min...
Take a deep breathe... the uncle said... and people were cheering for me... very paiseh... :|
1:10...
My back is aching really bad now...
My Quads are trembling...
My Calves started to cramp...
1:20...
My legs are bending slightly...
1:26...
I bent my legs and was disqualified! =(
So close to the $500... just 8 more seconds!

World Peace and the balance I can go for a
feast and blog it here loh... but nevermind... I did have fun... I really did... haha... I well try again next year... and those competitors for the real
Strongman Challenge are really strong... *respect*

Shokudo - Means Canteen in Jap!
Look around.. does it look like canteen to you?
The whole set up of this place is very marche-like... except that everything is Jap!
Make a Guess... what is this?!?!!?
Salad... looks so colorful and yummy... but i never try them...
More Salad!
Soup! i also never try them...
Assorted Meats and seafood... You choose what you want...and they will cook it for you... The beef skewer looks so thick and juicy.. but i also never eat... =|
Japanese Gelato! i also never eat... =\
Burgers and burgers... i too.. never eat...
Fish Flakes! Such a big packet! I also never eat... cos its not for sale...
Japanese Pizza! $7.80 I ate this! :)
Curry Potato Pizza - Look how thin the crust is... i simply like the thin crust pizza... what for eat so much dough... its just carbs... bad bad carbs! least potato is complex carbs... The whole thing is quite mashy... but the curry is very nice and goes well with the potato... and some fish flakes are scattered on top of it... within minutes... nothing is left... nice! But I want to try the Ebi & Bacon Wasabi Pizza next time! It sounds more like a jap pizza to me... and wasabi on pizza definitely sounds like a darn cool idea...
Unagi Omelette $5.80 - This stall sells nothing but omelettes only... and the Q is very very long... EggS! who doesn't love them!? i eat 3 eggs that morning... w/o the yolk of cos... and plus this omelette...i think i must have eaten 6 eggs in total for that day! The omelette is very soft and still quite runny in the inner layers.. and the unagi adds the yum factor to it... This dish is simply cannot be missed if you go to shokudo...
Scallops $2.50
Grilled Saba $5.80 - on the display, the raw version looks damn big, but the real thing that came out hot is probably 70% of the length displayed, and half the thickness as it was sliced into half... i feel cheated! lol. but I like fish meat..white meat...good meat... add some lemon and eat the meat with the radish bits is nice...
Entrance to Bumbu
The Interior
I have no idea what are the words on the signboard means
I don't want any soft drinks, so i settled for Chinese Tea - $2
Appetizer - Krathong Thong $ 7.80 - The base is actually some "Keropok", filled with minced meat, diced carrots and green peas, topped with a lot of shallots. A crispy and fragrant dish, but not to my liking.
Belachan Fried Rice $8.00 - The Fried Rice is not too wet/dry, served with egg at the side which is still quite soft and runny, along with slices of mango and preserved meat.
Cold Tofu with Preserved Egg $7.80 - I chose this dish because i love Tofu and Eggs... The Tofu is served cold on a plate of chili oil, topped with Shallots and Preserved eggs. Its a nice dish, but will be nicer if theres more preserved eggs... and the chili oil is actually kind of redundant.
Uh huh! This is a must try! Coffee Chicken $8.80... When this dish arrived on the table, you can almost immediately smell the aroma of the coffee. It has the aroma of coffee, yet its sweet and not bitter, and the chicken is tender and juicy inside.
Sambal Kangkong $7.80 - The least popular dish on the table, probably because its too common. Do not belittle this dish as it seems that there's not much chili, but beware... i find it quite spicy for my taste buds thou.
Stir Fried Squid in Black Sauce $10.80 - The Squid slices is quite chewy as they are sliced thick. It taste more of sweet than spicy.
After burning your tongue, time for desserts! 
Red Ruby $2.50
This is the Best Dessert - Custard Pumpkin $2.50 - It is actually a warm dessert whereby the pumpkin is steamed alongside with custard at its center, warm, sweet and moist...
