Donuts Fever!!

It's been the latest trend nowadays in the food industry to eat donuts! 10 years back, the US introduce the new donuts by the name called "Dunkin Donuts". At that time, not much people love it or buy it. In Singapore there are a few donut shop and not alot of people buy. It's cheaper than what it is now.

Since there is no profit from selling dunkin donuts in singapore, all the shops are closed. And now in 2007, the local introduce a brand new donut which is freshly fried and sell at the same time. It's called "Donut factory". It's been quite popular now since its first opening in raffles place shopping centre. Everytime when I went through there, there is sure to be alot of people queuing up. Mostly teenagers. When I asked some of my friends who buy before, they have to wait up to 2 hours for it. Now with the popular demand, it open its 2nd shop in suntec city, where it also serves dining in. But its still alot of people and I felt sian after looking at the queue.

Is it that delicious and worth the time to buy the donuts? I can see from the shape and size that it is much smaller than the US donut. Judging by the size, dunkin donuts is much bigger. I think its maybe because of the filling inside and also because it is freshly fried. Although I haven't try donuts factory before, there is a new donut shop competing with them. It's called the "Munchy donut". It first opened its first shop at Vivocity, there I saw alot of people queuing up too but not as much as the people queuing in raffles place. Now there is a 2nd shop at Causeway point, which I happen to pass by yesterday afternoon to take a look.

The impatient me will not be able to queue up to buy donuts from donut factory, so after seeing the new opening of munchy donut at causeway point, I was curious to buy and try it. There's was not much people queuing up so I was wondering is it not the same as donut factory which I had also never try before. So I just buy it from munchy, a box of 6 donuts. Plenty to choose from, it costs me $6.50 for a box of 6. Pretty expensive judging by the size of the donuts T-T...But after taking a bit, I find it delicious. I try the chocolate peanut with almond, the outer layer is filled with chocolate and almond, the filling is delicious rich creamy peanut, which leaves my teeth all with chocolate and peanut stains haa~ But the weak point is, it melts too fast haha, I have to faster buy and go back home to put in the fridge.

Next time I should try my luck and go to donut factory to try their donuts. But will the impatient me manage to buy from them? Haa I will see then ~although I don't think I will be going there since I am lazy >.<

A picture of the donuts that I buy. I bought 6, ate 2 of them with my mum on the way home >.< It's abit unpleasant looking since it alreadi starting to melt, but I leaving it like that :p The ring donut in the center is said to be the popular donut of them, its covered with oreo cookies. Well eat once in a while its ok, but don't eat too much, its FATTENING. Girls who are trying hard to slim down like me should not eat, but I ignore :P haa eat once a while its ok *convincing myself ;p

Transformers

Transformers, a movie about machines battle with each other. It's an action pack movie filled with fighting and shooting. I saw the trailer and will love to watch it!! My relatives went to korea and they are lucky because they happen to saw the actors from transformers. They are holding a reporter session for reporters. Not sure its only for their country or the whole world. In truth, outsiders are not allowed to take photos in, but my brave relative went and squeeze through the people and taken some photos of the actors.

One of the transformers, in fact there is only one transformer statue there and that is the yellow transformer called "bumble bee". My relative say they can't get a good shot of the machine as there is a lot of people there, in fact there are some strangers in the photo which you can just ignore them haha...

A photo taken in the evening, the two persons in front are the director of the movie Michael Bay and the actress Megan Fox.

A more close up photo of them. Sadly the actor of the movie is not at the session. The actress Megan Fox is quite beautiful and she has a nice figure.

KOREA FEVER

Have you ever seen an animal that is born by lion and tiger? Lion + Tiger = Teacher?? Haha, when you try to combine lion and tiger, the baby that is born is call teacher? Try to say it in chinese and you will understand what I'm trying to say!

One of my relatives went to korea for hoilday and have taken some of the photos below of the animal that is born by lion and tiger genes.

A baby cub that is born by lion and tiger. You can see some faint stripes of a tiger's body on the baby cub. The head resembles the lion because of its hairy beard.

The grown up of the animal that is born by lion and tiger. Don't really know exactly what the name of the animal is. Well for the time being, just called it a "teacher" lol ^^. The grown up of the animal is more obvious. You can see the stripes on the body which resembles the tiger, but the color of the skin is more to the lion's.

Accessories is one of the famous things that are liked by ladies. They are sparkling and beautiful when shine in the light. All the accessories are hand-made by the local koreans which made them more precious and delicate.

A blue flower earring that my relative gave to me. It is hand-made by the local koreans. The handcraft was so well made and the flowers look so sparkling.

A blue flower ring which matches with the earring above.

A green butterfly ring, one of my favourite ring as it was light and also because I like its lines that surround the butterfly.

I find this picture cute so I put it in hehe... The statue toy there is a character of a well-known game in korea. Its a baseball game as you can see from the character dressing. By the way, the handsome model kid posing beside the statue is my little cousin. Hahaha!!

Everland is one of korea amusement park. At night, there have a carnival, and you can see the flower cars sparkling in the night. This is one my favourite pictures among the flower cars. A train that is so well made that it looks like the real one! They say the train even horns and puff smoke too!!

What is most beautiful in korea? Of course its their red rose!! The rose its the size of one's hand!! And it smell so nice that its like a perfume!! When you see it, you could drip your saliva as it looks so delicious and delicate too!
