How far will you let technology run your life?

We live in the modern world where the Internet and devices of all forms and sizes like smart phones, laptop and gadgets are a part of our daily lives. In fact, most of us can't function if we don't have our phones with us or don't surf or use the Net at least once a day for emails and watching online videos. We probably own more than one such devices to get connected, communicate and learn or educate ourselves and others about the latest knowledge and events in the world via the WWW.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw this video. It's a clip about this couple in the midst of their most significant moment of their lives - their wedding in church. It's a most solemn and serious affair, until the groom decides to whip out his smartphone (I'm guessing iPhone) to change his relationship status on facebook right there and then.

Marutama Ramen @ The Central








View Larger Map


It's nice but it's chicken stock. I'm more of a pork stock type of ramen girl I guess but it's still alright and I still liked what I ordered. I chose the spicy one but it didn't have the same kind of kick I was looking for. We also ordered side dishes of gyoza as well as radish simmered in stock.  Nice and it's two thumbs up.

Morton's

So for the 3rd time of the week, we celebrated Dad's birthday. This time at Morton's and the price on the menu was definitely jaw-dropping. But must admit the steak was really good. I opted for the crab cake instead but I felt the one I had in Colorado, Denver was nicer..


As you saw from the price list, this is a place one won't exactly come on a regular daily basis but more for that special occassion. And indeed we heard the pool of waiters and waitresses belt out Happy Birthday for 2 other tables before ours and one other after us. Must be a tough job to have to sing the same song on a 3 times average daily basis.


Nevertheless, it's a nice place and one could look for that special occasion to come here. It's a two thumbs up but it's one where you'd need to look to find the opportunity to raise your thumbs for it.
