My comfort food

One night last week, can't remember when, but i went to toa payoh to look for food.
I generally dun really take dinner on weekdays to help myself get into earlier sleep as well as for the sake of my weak stomach.

But that particular night, i was searching for food in toa payoh and most of the shops no longer have food. And i do not want fast food. So i went swensens.



I'm not a seafood-craz, but i'm a black-pepper-craz.

It is pretty boring to eat pasta only, so i order ..



..Deep fried mushroom. I bet it is shitake. As i grow older, i tend to not appreciate fried food. i ended up tearing the crust and eating the inner(mushroom) only. Fake a healthy self i think.

And as i hate eating alone.. i had WGM as companion.

It was properly cold in swensens, or cold due to a after rain. i remembered that i feel exceptionally lonely that night. =(

Replacement for Clorets

Sorry for missing for a week. trying hard to work pick up blogging at home but i'm really lazy. generally i prefer blogging within the 10 mins right after everyone go for lunch & while waiting for the guys to move their butt. In general, lim wu hua usually takes the longest time (yes, since from lvl 3 till now, habit no change)

Anyway, the cloret optimints that i used to take as a sugar-free mint sweet for my motion-sickness is no longer in production. Seriously do not know why they do so as there is definitely a market for it. At least another 3 ppl around me who consume that on a regular basis. Interesting hor? But with the discontinuation of the mint, i had trouble getting an alternative and try a few different type but dun like it.

That day my boss told me about Asahi Mint. He says it is similar to the cloret optimints. Abt 2 days after he told me, he happen to be back to the place where he saw it. So i asked for one to try =D Anyway, it is quite good and i shall declare it as the new member as the essentials items in my bags.



Des, you interested?

Toggi - Dark or Milk?

I'm a fan of Toggi. I claim that it is a superb version of kit-kat and it is made in switerland. So last friday, when i saw this at mediya, i know i should buy since i'm a lover of both Toggi & Dark Chocolate.

BUt sad to say, the original still taste better. The dark one is too sweet. haiz...

Very busy Weekend.

The Agenda.

Sat:
- Lunch with mum before shoping
- Shop with mum for her clothes to wear on my Solemnization
- Meet up with sis to get dad's white shirt for his suit, along with a belt
- Get dad a red tie to wear for Solemnization
- meet baby for shopping >> dinner >> shopping (IT show?)

Sun:
- Meet baby to continue shopping
- A dim sum high-tea as my late lunch cum early dinner =D
- Meet-up w alex.

Things that i needa shop badly.
- baby's white shirt
- bra for the gown (euxil thinks it is ok nt to wear, which i may if i can't get a suitable)
- high heels for the wedding
- dad's red tie
- paper bags for the little wedding favors for solemnization that we ordered =D

The agenda din go well in the end coz baby was too tired from his out-field thus he sleep sleep sleep like a pig zzZZzz..
But well, we still manage to settle most of the things.

Had a good lunch with mum before shopping coz i know if i ask her shop with an empty or half-empty stomach, we sure have alot of issue. But if too food, she will wanna go home & sleep.



Had lunch @ sushi tei and ate beef shabu shabu. The beef is tender but is slightly ex to me. abt 4 pieces of meat for $10. Yes, the above plate is $10. not inclusive of the soup. but it was really yummy, such that we order extra beef (which is the $10 la).



I even self-created my ikura avocado maki. *yum yum* really love the combination *drools*

after that we went shopping and bought nice LBD for my mum. Dad's stuff is also settle with thanks to da jie & bil.

After all is done, i waited for baby's arrival at raffles city and went to do my ladies shopping. Finally he reach and we were contemplating between dinner & IT show. Since he is hungry, we went for dinner 1st at some place in marina square. food is not bad, but the floor is oily slippery~~


pan fried fish w cream sauce pasta.


normal but interesting assorted cakes. but we were too full to eat much.


black pepper chicken with olive rice.

next is the IT Show, the crowd is freaking horrible that i really hate it. originally, my plan was to go there so that baby can get the 1 TB ext HDD that he wanted. But he rejected buying now, yet i have promise mr lim to get for him, so we still went.



i wonder how many of these ppl are here to buy sth.

Sunday plans was pretty screwed up due to baby's late wake up. While waiting for him, i ended up packing & cleaning my room while gaming. We finally had our dim sum at 3pm and went home after that. i was too tired to continue to meet alex, moreover, he told me his dinner break is 530-630 which i definitely cannot make it in time, and he say to chat in the shop he is working. i can never do such things, and i hate this idea. unless he is the boss.

Social Development Network

In fact i do not know what it is when i saw this gift in my letter box. Was a pretty nice card holder, but wasn't my style. After some googling, i realise that is actually a network that promotes marriage among single graduates. Woohoo~ i knew that there were such things, but i always thought it is called SDU. How come suddenly is SDN? Nvm la... got freebie *auntie*

But in about another 38 days, i think they will not send me anything. haha~ coz change of marriage status~ =P

TGIF >> DQA

I'm kinda not in the mood to work coz today is friday! And the 6:30am wake up make me tired (Thanks all who attempted to wake me this morning as my alarm is in out-field).

So why wake up so early? Coz got some award ceremony in headquaters today. I wonder how much we will get for the award. Anyway, still the first award that i get in my working years, so a little excited about it (apart from the early hours)

Reach office before 8am and manage to eat the legendary prata! I would say it is better than outside~ forgot to take a pic though =(

Anyway, soon is the start of the event...


....or not so soon... such that my colleague played ard w my boss phone..


Anyway... it finally ended, and we each get a cert and a hand-shake from CEO.. hmmmm..

my colleague drive us back, and i found sth cute from his car. No doubt a dad of 2 daughters.



Maybe i'm weird, but i find it so cute that i keep playing with it during the trip back.

It is lunch time now, i wonder if we eating ramen today~

Hi Monday!

The morning road is so empty that i thought everyone felt like how i feel. An empty street with an empty heart.. (Westlife)

Now lunch, while waiting for the mafan ppl to start moving for lunch, i write abit of how i feel now.

The cruelty on friday incident woke me up such that i shan't ask for help (unless i'm dying). People full of confidence do not understand my sadness and even try to irritate me further by saying "got so cham ma". Cham or not is determine by me. Not you.

But anyway, it is all over, and i decided to learn to be happier, treating work as one of the smallest portion in my life. In the past, my biggest mistake is to work very hard trying to gain exp for career building. But i dun see a bright future now, so i think i should change my directions. Baby said "I thought u wanted to join so&so company?", "I thought u wanted to t....?". It kinda call my soul back. That i have hopes & dreams before till i join the society and see the cruelty. Good chance for consideration.

Today, i drag my heavy feet out from my house. The only motivation i had is to bring my new red baby out for a walk.



I love this! =D

Good not to be alone.

I was pretty stressed (by myself) and i broke down last night. i wun say that no one is responsible, but neither shall i point fingers. The cup is full and someone did add that last few drops to make it overflow.

After a post on the FB, i really thank B who apps me and X who spoke to me online. I cried even harder while msging them, but i felt so much better after it. It was like a total release.

This morning, i spoke to D & J abt it, and they also make me felt that i wasn't alone. The "our Jasmine" works very well.

Thankfully, such ppl presence make my awful life better. And thanks yan & mayu for the overseas support.

It is good to know my own limits. But it is really awful to know that my limits are way lower than what i expected. I probably don't suit this line coz i'm nt guru in any of the language. Sometime ago, someone told me that i was Jack of all trades. On first thought, i thought he mean that i know abit of everything. After second thought, i recall "Jack of all trades, Master of None". I felt awful after that.

How many of you felt happy after a promotion? I remember that i was very happy that day when i received the notification. But now, i dun feel happy. Coz i think i dun deserve it. Coz ppl who are better are of a lower salary grade, coz i'm nothing but Jack. In summary, i feel i sux.

Baby, if you ever read this, please dun ask me why i din talk to you about it. It is something that i dun wanna share with you coz i dun wanna affect you. Next time, if i come home with red eyes, just let me cry all i want. I will be fine after that.

Lastly, thank Aunt & SIL for the concern.

P.S.: A very nice person bought this for me this morning. It help to start my day with a smile.

New Hobby.........?

I have been tweeting very often such that i tend to forget that i have a blog. But with the recent reading online, i remind myself about the existance of my 2 active + 1 inactive + 1 down blogS. In fact, one of the reason why i don't blog often is probably becoz i dunno what title to put. Especially when it is random. "Random", "Updates","Recents", any other phases that i can use? =(

My recent new "hobby" is to read blogs of pretty women who are married. I think it help me look forward to the wedding and reduce the stress due to thinking of status change. During the reading, there are ppl who i look forward to become, as they are really blessed with happines (on screen), and also people who i worried that i will become (e.g. naggy). But one major common point about all of them are that they have kids(hmmmmm), which i do not know if i will be blessed with one in the future.

But well, during the "browsing", i came across ppl who gave birth in their teens and i took awhile to recover from culture shock. Though it happen to my friends when i was in poly, i yet to bring myself to accept this common sight. Pershaps i'm a little old-fashion in this way. But ya, i'm 25 and still single, so cannot understand ppl who got married when they are 17, 18 or 19.

But reading their blogs taught me alot of things. Many ppl had to stay with their in-laws after marriage and get alot of conflicts with the in-laws that they have never expected during the dating period. I'm happy that we will have our own home. I dun mind calling it a Tay Home, since the Tay is the president, but in fact Ng is the Prime Minister (haha).

that's all for now... stomach busy digesting steak lunch *yawns*
