Oh Hi!

Hi humans.

I am still wondering who is reading my site. The number of users who drop by here has been increasing lately though i didn't update for the past 2 weeks. Who is reading yo! Tell me leh! Please la! I beg you! Tell me who are you!

Anyway, if you are here to find out how i am doing, i am fine la! Just that this month quite a quiet but busy month, not going much places as i am on a course sent by the company to attend until 27 January. Still got exams one hor.

School is starting soon too! I am gonna be super busy attending another course in Feb and dealing with all my assignments' deadlines! By then, you can pinch me to see if i am still alive.

I am in the midst of drafting out my Sentosa staycation in November 2013 and Taiwan in June 2013 posts. Actually i have no plans to post my Taiwan stuff la. But since so many of my friends are asking for my itinerary, i might as well type out here, they can see photos also. I don't have itinerary la cos we planned on the day itself and just go kind. Also give me time to do so la. You know i am not free everyday kind one. But i will do la.

Stay tune!

(What a singlish post! Exactly like how i talk)

December

10: Community Work with Ain Society

 Not much of any happening events.Gonna start thinking what i want to achieve in 2014.

Lastly, there are some friends gained and lost too. I am glad that i have finally learnt to 'bo chap' things and let things go easily. Seriously, no time for crap. People can happily just flared up at me without finding the actual fact. Liars when i already knew the truth but some people just wanna continue lying. So i couldn't be bothered any more. Am i a fool? Do you think i am a fool? After stating my piece, whatever crap people wanna come out with, by all means. I couldn't care less any more. I just wanna lead a simple life, making friends and having friends without any complications. Don't ask me to lie, i don't like lying. I just want to be myself. In my opinion, humans lie too much that they can't actually differentiate the real and the fake. 

I know i have many friends. I am thankful that friends who i hardly contacted always stand by me and they always texted me once awhile. Thank you for always being there and thank you for your understanding. Indeed, i am blessed with many wonderful people around despite some negative ones. Well, i think we need some negative friends in life to appreciate what we have. :)

Dinner at Symmetry for Michelle's belated birthday

Visited Symmetry on 17 December 2013 to celebrate Michelle's belated birthday.
The place i would say it's quite small but cosy! The ambiance gave it a very cosy feeling.

They have different menu for Dinner and Lunch.

Now you see, we hang out and these people playing with their phones.

Here comes the food...

Orange Julius

Cappuccino

Berries Smoothie

Truffled Fries

Grouper Fish

Duck Leg

I have forgotten the name of this dish. they braised the beef for 58 hours!

Martin was laughing away with the number of cameras shooting at his food, thus causing him unable to touch his food till everyone was done with capturing it

Pork Pasta

Codfish

Finally a group photo

I would say the food was not bad. Worth trying though the price is a bit pricey. The main course ranged about 20 to 40+, depends on what you ordered. I am not a fan of fries, but the truffles fries was damn good too! I would love to go back again and try out their brunch one day.

Merry Christmas

This was how i spent my Christmas. As usual, had lots of invitations for parties but i have to turn down majority due to my own financial situation. Sorry friends who i had to turn down, will join you all again this year when i get a job ok?

Anyway, cannot say that i am unfair because this is an Annual Christmas Party which we will attend with full attendance since xx years ago.  

This year's party hosted by Lynn and Martin again. Knowing Lynn had been wanting an oven, the group of us had been researching for a reputable oven to get for the hosts for hosting us for this occasion. So finally we settled for EuropAce as XPY said that the variety show, san cai yi tang also using the same oven. 

We wanted to capture that priceless expression of her but she was funny. Amanda had to ask her to look far to see what we had gotten for her! And of course, she was too happy! haha.

Look at her, it will tell u how she feels

Everybody squeeze!

Ian going P1.. How time flies. He kept playing the song, 'What the fox say' that it's been ringing in my head.

I drew Alan's

And Michelle drew mine. Not fun. She already knew what's inside

Yummy logcake from Cheryl

And finally a group photo

New Year Eve 2013, Welcoming 2014

I spent my New Year Eve afternoon playing Mahjiong at Mic's place with Lynn, Edmund and of course, Michelle. Been awhile since i last played and i find myself quite slow suddenly.

At night, meeting Fred's colleague/friend, Victor for dinner at Seng Kee and then joining Victor, his wife and her ex-colleagues for a drink and countdown. Fred was raving how good this stall's food was after Gena and Vivian brought us there last week.

If you are interested, here's the following details of the dinner place:

Seng Kee Black chicken herbal soup

467 Changi Road

Popular dishes:

1. Fried Mee Sua 炒面线 (Only available after 10pm usually)
2. Claypot Chicken in Sesame Oil sauce 麻油鸡
3. Ba hu Tofu
4. Chicken soup (their soup is damn thick!)

I guess age is catching up. No longer interested in going crowded places for countdown. We went to The Wine Connection at Robertson Quay for a drink. I would said their beers and wines are quite cheap. 8 pax, Fred and Victor ordered 2 beers, Helen and me shared Ahazara while the rest had one beer, that only cost about $100 for total bill.

Welcoming 2014, having Lunch at 1 Market by Chef Wan at Plaza Singapura.
It's always never ending catching up session plus lots of laughter with ex-colleagues turn friends. Thank you these bunch of people for crossing path in my life, taking care of me and thinking of me always.

Anyway, i doubt i will go back to 1 Market again. I don't know but they refill their food it's like pieces for maximum 2-3 pax and after that, the rest got to wait. What i find best on the food would be the clams and the satays. Unfortunately, it's quite hard to get the satays. It's gone in less than a minute when it's refilled.
