Concluded a chapter of my life... ydae was my last day at work.... so much has happened the past year... the joy and the tears.... was pretty nonchalant about it last nite but all the emotions are hitting me right now...

I totally subscribe to the notion that you reap what you sow...  all the efforts put in was worth the while when colleagues, mentors and clients truely wish you well in your future ventures... 

Despite all the beatings etc.., i'm really grateful for the guidance and learning experience... As i move with much uncertainty to unchartered territories, i know there's still much room for me to grow and i hope i'm blessed with as much generosity and goodwill..

On a separate note, it's the time of the year again... gonna be 1 year older soon! What does this actually entails? What do i want out of my life? What am i expecting of the people around me? Have i treated the ppl close to my heart well and with generosity, love, care and patience?  Have i contributed to the society?

It's sometimes pretty upseting, when expectations and actions do not measure up.... What does this mean??? Sometimes i've been pretty stubborn and blind to not acknowledge the fact thats smack right in front of me... y? coz it's pretty scary and as the saying goes "the truth hurts.." vs "what doesnt kill you makes you stronger"  haha... shall learn to be nonchalant... but y stick ard when things arent working out... r u a fighter or an escapist?  Ok i dun make sense....

Oops.... last entry was in the beginning of the year... Wanted to start blogging again after migratingto the new site but erm.... dat isn't ready yet tooo... haha....


Some foodie update:


1.  Based on some reccomendations, I went to a ramen eatery at Gallery Hotel.... Please do not bother to try it... The stock was ultra salty and their side dish (Gyoza) was soaked in oil.....

2. Walked along Robertson Quay area n found a few new places which i would wanna try out... there's the yummy italian pizzaria as well as the a-la Brewerkz Belgium restaurant (had yummy deserts... and the place is tops on customer service! the main course looked uber yummy).... anyone keen to join me??

Well, sometimes you wonder if there's anything constant in the life.... (ok, im being a tad drama queen) 

Well, sometimes you wonder why are there unexpected turn of events.... i guess that's what makes life so "exciting" right.....

Now it's time to "change" certain preconceived notion.... and internalize the new turn of events... sigh...

Happie 2008!

Spent the new year with the people close to my heart...  Hope all of us will work towards and achieve our new year resolutions ya!

So niwaes, after the slightly "off" start to the new year... the weekend was great!

Friday nite- mj with the gang...combined powers and won quite a fair bit of $$... 2nd time that happened to me.. usually when  $$ is involved, there's only outlow n not inflow... 

Sat- Foodie day! Had lunch at Relish, cluny court... the burgers are like "woooo..." super yummy.... we had wild rocket burgers and bacon & cheese... both equally good... nice deco, but a tad too noisy..  Next, dinner at Murutama Ramen at Central... msg laden broth but its super addictive n yummy... muz try the sinful porkbelly and grilled char siew (my fav!)... very sinful though.....

Ever tried covering 4 cities in 4 days? I did. Well technically, I tried... but ahem... as i missed my internal flight from Shanghai to Zhenzhou.. Make it 4 cities in 5 days...

Can't believe the things that happened in those short 5 days. Everyday was an adventure.... 

 
Day 1: Went to this luxurious "ktv club"

Day 2: Rushing for the plane.... "and missing it"

Day 3: Encountering a typhoon... "and nearly having our flight cancelled & running pathetically for the plane"

Day 4: Staying in the luxurious home of a foreign dignitary

Day 5: Staying in a hotel room with a sleazy mini bar
