Lately, too much unsettling issues are hovering. 

 I re-classed my priorities and worked hard on them. I mean, I tried and apparently it’s wasn’t as easy as I thought. 

 I’ve got a fantastic and wonderful distraction. Hence, things were much easier on my side. 

 A short getaway to KL and Malacca over a weekend. Nothing fanciful, just relax and enjoy. 

 Driving into the sunset. 

 

 

 Christmas lights were everywhere. 

How can I miss out the ever cheerful Christmas tree?! 

 =] 

And, hello Ritz.   

 

 

  

Enjoying heart-warming breakfast at Ritz. 

Did quite a fair bit of shopping at Pavillion. And the craving for having steak kicked it. 

 It was an unforgettable dinner at Angus. 

 

 Juicy, fresh oysters. 

 With dedicated service and never-ending serving of side dishes, I was 80% full when my 150g of Wagyū was served.

 

  Sweet and tender. 

 Ending it with a sweet note.

The symptoms are

1. Drowsiness
2. Lethargic
3. Aching shoulders and back
4. Headache
5. Tired and teary eyes
6. Increase in appetite

And they always visit me when exams are near.

Dining along the riverside of Clarke Quay, on a Friday evening where all I want to do is to relax and enjoy the weekend.

It’s been a while since I pampered myself, should reward myself once in a while.

 

I love Sashimi. One of the items are calling out to me!

Sashimi Moriawase & Unagi Kodon (Assorted Sashimi and Mini Grilled Eel Rice Bowl) – S$25.80

Fresh and tender sashimi!

With hot steam rice topped with  juicy grilled unagi.

Did I mention that I am a sushi lover?!

Chicken Teriyaki & Aburi Salmon Roll (Grilled Chicken with Teriyaki Sauce & Halk-broiled Salmon Sushi Roll) – S$24.80

Out of curiosity (and hungry, of course), I ordered a side dish to go along.

Okonomi Yaki (Mixed Seafood & Sliced Pork Pancake) – S$12.80

Smoking hot, hot, hot!

I just wanna popped them into my mouth!

Out of curiosity (and hungry, of course), I ordered a side dish to go along.

Okonomi Yaki (Mixed Seafood & Sliced Pork Pancake) – S$12.80

A disappointing dish, it was so dry and the only yummy thing was the mayo that was garnish along.

Overall, I love the ambience and the location of the restaurant.

Do call and make reservations if you planned to dine in alfreso way.

 

 

 

I wished I can get through my exams with confidence.

I hate to be mugging away while everyone is doing Christmas shopping.

I love to make yummies on a rainy Sunday noon.

How I wished I can eat something now and will not pass them out in 30 minutes.

A family visit to SAFTI!

My brother who has been enlisted to OCS and SAF planned this visit for the cadets’ family members.

My ever-excited Mum.

A photo in his bunk first.

A walk around SAFTI.

Dining Hall.

Family shot.

When I took this photo I can’t decide which one is the focus, the dining hall or them.

And I spotted my Dad behaving like a child.

Kodak Moment!

I honestly don’t know what is he laughing, but I know I got to snap this shot.

A decent photo of my parents.

Spotted a pink dragonfly!

And I seriously don’t believe there is such a HUGE snail living in the pond.

A random shot of my brother and his friend.

My brother and me who just recovered. (Looking like sh*t)

For the past 22 years of my life, I never ever slept away THREE precious days away.

I had food poisoning which comes with fever. Is that serious? I’m not sure.

But I am dead sure that I was puking my life away and hugging the toilet bowl. Literally.

And I refused to be hospitalized cause I prefer MY OWN BED.

I was living on isotonic drinks and pills for the past 3 days. I never felt so crap before.

My dear Mum actually bought lots of Roast Pork, Cha Siew and Roast Duck back home and claimed it’s for me as I am actually malnutrition for the past 3 days, looking at those plates of greasy meat; the familiar nauseous feeling overwhelmed me, of course I went to hug the toilet bowl again.

Sometimes, I don’t know if I should be at least happy that I have a Mum who actually cares. In a wrong way, obviously.

This week of ordeal I learnt 3 lessons.

1. Never try to do a “half-cooked-seafood-like-the-Japanese-way”.

2. Never to self-medicate.

3. Never to believe that coffee makes me feel better.

I will never want to go through this again.

 

*P.S For those who called or texted, thanks for the ever endearing, sweet concerns. Pardon my late replies as most of the time I was in hibernation.

I bought this stack of instant noodles back to Singapore.

I know I am crazy, I believed Hong Kong’s instant noodles are tastier than what we have in Singapore because they have THIS logo!

HAHAHAHA!

Nevertheless, I tried to whip up a Pork Chop Noodle in the Hong Kong Café style.

I “played-cheat” by using Lee Kum Kee’s sauce to marinate the pork chop.

Then I ANYHOW COOK.

Tada!!!!

Looks like, taste like Hong Kong’s 公仔面.

Comparing to what I had in Hong Kong…

And this…  I am happy with this for NOW!

 

Ever since I came back from Hong Kong, I had been working and working!!! No doubt it’s tiring but I feel satisfying. How do I explain it? Its like I had planned a journey for my future and 3 years ago I wasn’t on the right track and now I am actually doing it! Though there were other options which I DO prefer, but I need to stay on track and be focused.

Anyway, Pristine has flown off to Down Under and I am already missing her!

Sometimes, I just wanna jee-siao my dog.
