Just bought my first ever copy of Rolling Stone magazine!

Yes, yes, yes. I bought it only because Lady Gaga’s on it!

I don’t read Rolling Stone, so I didn’t know if it was selling here in Singapore. But when I saw photos of the latest issue featuring Lady Gaga in her machine gun bra (as seen in her Alejandro music video) online, I knew I had to find my ways to grab a copy of it!

So while on my way home from work yesterday, I randomly walked into a news stand in my area to checked if they have the magazine. AND THEY DO! …but it was the June issue feating Jay-Z!

Went back today and the new issue was selling already!

That indian guy who dug out the magazine from the new arrived stack for me was damn funny. He kept swooning over the magazine cover and mumbled something like “her arse is vaari naise”. Then he went on to read, “Lady Gaga” and made the sound of guns firing off “BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!”, complete with hand gestures over his manboobs.

Anyway, if I had known RS is selling here, I would have gotten the previous Lady Gaga issue too! Damn!

And I did my usual thing when I buy cool magazines like this; I bought two copies – One for reading, one for keeping.

Hah! Are you as paper-philic as me too?

1. Back from the 9-day trip in Thailand. Totally enjoyed the trip, and can’t wait to post the photos and videos up. Most probably will be blogging about the trip in separate posts. Cannot possibly squeeze nine days worth of activities into one blog entry!

2. Started “internship” right after I flew back in Singapore. Yes, it is quoted with inverted commas because I find it a tad embarrassing to say I’m still interning when I have already graduated with a diploma. The term is stated by the company, and since it is good money, I don’t really care how it is being called. I’ll be there only for a month before my degree year starts.

3. Not quite ready for work though. I’m still rather drained from the walking and scorching weather in Thailand.

4. No more scheduled blog entries for the time being.

5. I will probably update in a few days’ time.

6. Imported the archives from jayleif.blogspot.com over here. Lost the hundreds and thousands of archived comments and alot of links will be broken, but nonetheless, I’m a step closer to shifting my entire blog here!

fter some buzz on Twitter about this new eatery called Kichn, I’d decided to check it out for myself.

Having most of its furniture items from IKEA, this place looks right out of a designer’s home. Like Everything with Fries, I like how eateries these days are adopting a clean and minimalist look. Very designer-ish, very chic.

Did I mention that this place is very good for chillax too? My only complain would be the available tables and seats – it’s a little too small in numbers! I do hope they expand in the future!

Kichn has quite an interesting concept for taking orders. Your final dish is sort of unique to you because you get to personalize what goes into it.

To put it simply, you get to pick your choice of base (pasta/rice), your main (the meat) and the sauce!

Here’s our order!

Spaghetti + Beef Patty + Japanese Curry Sauce (Featured Special)

Fusilli + Portobello Mushroom + Chilli Crab Sauce

The same goes to their drinks! You can get the blend of up to three flavours!

The food and the drink blends taste awesome! I can’t wait to go back to try more combinations!

When we were leaving, this dude from afar waved and called my name. I stood there for a moment wondering who is this familiar guy and then I realized he was Kelvin! (I think he goes by Sean now) My classmate in Lasalle two years ago!

Then he went on to say, “Oh you were here ah?” He said it so conveniently, I started to wonder if he works there or something.

And well, turns out the world couldn’t be any smaller. Kichn is opened by his parents and his dad is the cook! And the design studio, Pupilpeople, beside Kichn is his!!!

Small world!

Nothing beats having brunch with friends at a place this gorgeous.

The food at Riders Cafe is a little pricey, but it is definitely as good as it looks. And with a scenery like that, it’s almost like a little getaway somewhere out of Singapore.
