photos blogging~! hehe..

this was wad i ate at Essential Brew at Holland Village with aiwen n val n michelle the other day! honey mustard chicken.. it was realli nice.. but dun try their desserts ba.. hehe..





unable to die, i tried to bake another cake.. and this time, it was edible~! yeay~~

the photos we took at xiang's performance..!! it was a great show..

to show dat sy's face realli is chubby,( i mean, not!) i posted a another pic.. haha..

had a great meal today at Kotobuki, top level at Liang's Court.. it was realli realli nice!! and the price is noot too ex.. for a place dat looks so nice.. =) love the food.

best shiitake mushroomies i've ever eaten~! even tho it doesnt look impressive, it is realli good.
my ginger pork.. onli $13 nett for this set!
boring ten-zaru soba.. the soba was good tho.. muz give credit.. the most incredible thing was dat the wasabi tasted fresh. can u believe it? it was so fresh dat even i could tell it.. it says a lot abt the place hor? haha..

grumpy whinings... can ignore this post..

ytd i watched my sis performed hip hop dance onstage.. she and her frens look really happy, and vibrant, and full of excitement. i'm so proud of her~!

but also wished dat i can be like her.. i realli dunno wad i wan. to everybody else, i seem to be having a pretty good time now.. easy job wif lots of free time on hand, and a nice bf to meet me for lunches in sch, and for dinner after work.

i feel like i'm walking in mud, and i'm stuck. so stuck. i've tried to run thru the thick mud but it makes me feel even more tired. i guess the best way to get thru is to be patient and slowly move thru the mud without making useless effort trying to run as fast as i can.

my brain is decomposing from all the waiting i do at work! everyone thinks i shd be happy, cuz i can reach late, and go off early. i can meet my frens and bf at sch everyday. i dun haf much work stress. but do u know that not having anything to do can also drive u nuts? i happen to be the kind who cant haf nothing to do! besides, i need to spend so much time at the clinic, even tho i may haf nothing to do, i cant do anything else! i can surf the net sometimes when there's an empty room, but dats not always available. plus the internet is so slow, and uses dial up u know? i dun haf a seat or a desk to myself at NUH, i cant even haf a place to sit and wait. i can onli hang around the place, waiting like some lost dog.

i wonder long can i take this.. sorri to make u guys read such a long and grumpy story.. but thanks..




Friday nite

went to jingli's GENUS concert.. classical guitar.. felt sleepy during some of the more chim songs, but most of them were interestingly filled with different instruments. i felt more artisticly cultured after the whole 'training'. LOL jingli looked as beautiful as ever. haha..

Sat

went for tuition in the morning as usual.. den halfway thru, got a china monk came to knock on the door and got my tutee to write his name for donation. but my tutee dun even know wad it was for, he juz stupidly wrote his name. but i'm even worse, i naively gave the monk $10. you might say it's a donation, a good cause. why am i angry? cuz after i gave him $10, he said, "Miss, why don't u give $20? $10 is not a nice number..." after dat i knew he was a fake! if he was juz collecting donations, he wouldn't say the amount is too little and ask for more! rite? normally they juz accept any amt u give! but i couldnt take back wad i gave to him anymore. i even gave him a can of drink.. wad the @#$%! with the amt of money he had cheated, he could buy himself a drink cant he? why was i so stupid??

these ppl realli shd be punished. they cause ppl to be doubtful of those who are sincerely collecting donations! bcuz of these fake monks, the real monks haf to haf a harder time than b4~!

but like wad the tutee's mum said, they cheated us of our goodwill, they will get their retribution in the end.

after dat, i went to see doctor for face problems.. got myself a whole lot of products to slap on my face. been thinking for a long time whether to go.. finally got myself moving. haha..

Sunday

today, we baked a cake! this time, it was more successful.. actualli tasted quite good.. hehe.. den, we went to cut our hair.. i dyed my hair brown~! so now, i haf brown hair again.. hehe..

juz felt like i needed a change.. =) yep.. my weekend was good, altho they all had a price... T_T all ready to start another week of fighting~! >_<

The Guy in the Glass
by Dale Wimbrow, (c) 1934

When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.

For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.

He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.
