Truck on fire on (PIE) Highway

2007-05-24T17:45:00.000+08:00

Took this picture during late afternoon today on PIE before the exit of Upper Bukit Timah Rd. The truck on fire is on the PIE towards Jurong with long jam behind it as all 3 lanes currently stop moving. Traffic is heavy on both side of the PIE as everyone want to see what & why it is on smoke (which can be seen many many km away)...

So avoid PIE during this evening peak hour as traffic jam will get worst.

Hope the driver is ok.

Added: Won the best "Tip-off of the day" award and got some shopping vouchers. Detail see here http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/viewPost3105.aspx at Singapore STOMP site

After a long week of hard training course for our oversea delegates, decided to chill out at one of the popular pub & restaurant place in Singapore (Brewerkz).

This place is just amazing with a wide range of beers, American style foods, TVs for sport fans to enjoy inside and it situated on the edge of Singapore river so you can just watch the river go by. One of the most popular place in Singapore for locals & oversea guests to enjoy, socialise and have a great night out.

Lunch at Indian Restaurant

2007-04-27T16:42:00.000+08:00

This afternoon lunch at the Indian Restaurant (Khansama Tandoori Village) down at Science Hub.

Restaurant band playing :-)

What's that round object in the middle you might ask? My guess is it's a traditional rounded-top tandoori oven which is made of brick and clay. It used to bake and cooked foods like Naan..an indian bread, skewered meat like tandoori checken, etc..

Refreshing Mango-Lassi drink....which is a creamy drink made from yogurt.

Famous Vegetable Samoza....consist of diced potatoes and vegetables marinated in hot spices stuffed into thin pastry and deep fried and served with chilly source and mint source.

My work collegues enjoying the delicious food...YUMMY
