Its worse than a dog's life

It has been a long time since I last blogged in my blog

Year end is always my peak period.

There's reports to write,

workplan for new year to consider,

and staff retreat to plan,

and all these come all at once.

I constantly remind myself what the coffee aunty

had advised me, which I blogged about sometime back.

I should be contented with a good job and an abled body.

And really want to thank God for his grace

at this period. I have been so distanced from Him

but yet he answered my prayers.

亮晶晶的圣诞装饰

上个星期天，为了买礼物给同事，

跑到乌节路去。

哇！虽然只是十一月出，

但已可看到圣诞装饰。

浓浓的圣诞气息，

感染了在乌节路血拼的人的心情。

看着亮晶晶的圣诞装饰，

你看到了什么？

可否看到了你心爱的人，

或看到了需要帮助的人。

或者是看到了在远方的好友。

圣诞节是一个分享的季节，

不单单是在礼物上，

最重要的是你的关怀与爱戴，

那可是金钱也买不到的。

掀起寒风

寒风！

迎面而来。

每逢这个月份，
从我房间的窗口，
就能感觉到寒风的到临。

十一月份，
风向开始转换，
寒风习习，感觉冬季的来临。

一年就那么迅速地来到了尾端，
今年你可过得好呢？

“一年之计在于春”
在春天许下的愿望，可否一一实现？
年头定下的计划，可否一一达成？

趁寒风驾临，
让它带随我们好好的检讨检讨，
整顿好思绪于心情。
把犯下的错，当成生命的一党课，
不要再犯同样的错误。
逆境可是成长的老师！

与你度过美好时光，
在逆境中不忘你的家人和好友，
你可要把他们切记在心，
用你的方式答谢他们吧！

寒风，
又从我窗口不邀自来。
它带来了凉意，
也带来了年末的讯息。

尽头
是新开始的起点！

麻酱面

六月去台湾的时候，就爱上了麻酱面。
我喜欢它香香的麻味，
把麻酱和QQ的面条混合在一起，
吃在口里，爽也！
尤其是冷的麻酱面，
更是不得了！

那次就从台湾带回来几包
从7 Eleven买的麻酱面，
让我在新加坡也可享用多几天的麻酱面。

那天Cheri给我带来了她亲手
做的麻酱面Bento。

漂亮吧！
Cheri做的每样东西都是美美的。
她做的麻酱面Bento，
更是在视觉方面下了很多心思。
当然，味道方面可说是一极棒！

吃完了麻酱面Bento，
我感觉好幸福噢！
谢谢你Cheri！！！

过气歌手

郑展伦，这个名字你听过吗？

他在九十年代活跃于新加坡歌坛，
是他唱红了梁文福的，
“如果你不小心想起我”

或则我应该说，

是梁文福的“如果你不小心想起我”
把他推上成功的道路！

这首歌，深入民心
我就因为这首歌而认识了郑展伦。

星期五，我买票去Esplanade看他的音乐会。
他的声音，比起以前，
（音乐会完毕后我买了他的cd）
更沙哑，更老练，
带有成熟沧伤的韵味。

记得我看苏心诠的音乐会时，
很陶醉在他的表演当中。

他的感性，潇洒和自由自在的性格，

是我羡慕的。

观赏郑展伦的表演，
我却没有这样的体会。

他属于巫齐贤类的歌手，
只要听他的歌就好，
看他，就免了吧！

便当

若你问我什么食物最好吃，

我会毫不犹豫地告诉你，

家里做的便当最好吃。

味道是其次，

就说花费的时间做便当就好了，

时间花在购买材料，准备材料，

还有烹饪上，

已经很豪时了。

简简单单的一份便当，

看似简单，但下的功夫可不少。

所以一定要感谢帮你做便当的人，

费时又费力的帮你准备便当。

我要谢谢小文，

她今天准备了便当给我！

炒米粉，加洋葱炒蛋，还有broccoli,

她甚至还细心的用一个小罐子，

装了切好的超辣小辣椒。

太棒了！

我大口大口的狼吞虎咽，

太好吃了！

吃完后才发现，哎呀！快撑死了！

太饱了！

吃便当，

生活快乐事之一也！

The Coffin

This was such a disappointment!
If you ask me out of five stars, how many stars would I award, I would say half a star. No, don't even watch the movie, save the $9.50 for something else, like a good meal.

The plot was really weak and I wasn't even sure, after watching the whole movie, why did the Ghost haunt the male lead. The pace of the whole movie was a slow drag and the tempo was just not there to lift up the eerie feeling. And the scare technique used by the director was not shocking enough. Karen Mok's performance here pale in comparison to Li xinJie and Shu Qi in The Eye and Eye 2 respectively.

I almost fell asleep watching the movie, and no I wasn't imagining I was in a coffin.
This Raintree production is such a let down.
And sorry Siew Boon, I watched it without you but that would mean you saved $9.50.

早餐

三餐之中，我最喜欢的就是早餐了。
它能给我一天的能量。
起个清早，享受清晰的空气 和一顿丰富的早餐，
对我来讲，是件非常幸福写意的一件事。

那天，我在咖啡店吃我的早餐。
捧咖啡的阿嫂对我说，
“星期六，很空闲哦？“

我回应她说，
“星期六还要来工作，命好苦哦！“

她看着我说，
“你身体健康，又有工作，
怎能算命苦呢？那些生病又失去工作的人，
不是更命苦吗？“

听了阿嫂的话，我哑口无言。
因为她说得很有道理。
我们因该知足常乐，不要身在福中不知福也。
我很庆幸我身体健壮，而且还能有份不错的工作，
着是上帝的恩赐。

现在每每我要开始埋怨的时候，
我就会想起阿嫂的话。。。
我是幸福的！

Shimbashi Soba @ Paragon basement

Call me “Sua Gu”
I really didn’t know that the basement of Paragon has had a “facelift”
So many eateries there now.

Well, I had dinner at Shimbashi Soba the other night.
The restaurant is well known for their Soba.
Indeed, it was tasty and the soba texture was just nice.
The soup base was also delicious.

I ordered the soba set, it was quite filling for me.

I also ordered the desert, man! It was really good.
Brought back memories of Japan.
If you are a fan of everything Japanese, you must not miss this.
For about $14, you get savour 6 different kinds of Japanese desert.
“Sugoyi Yo!”

Shades of Funkiness

I was window shopping with no intention of getting anything. But at the end of the afternoon, I bought this pair of shades. Ha! Ha! Is it too loud? This is my first pair of funky shades.

It is difficult for me to buy shades as I have a broad face. Most of the shades are too small for me. When I was trying this one, it sort of fits and it has this refreshing look. Buying it for my Osaka trip this winter, nobody would take notice of me there as Japanese is well known for being trendy.

What is this compare to their creative dressing style?

快炒

六月分，去了台湾一趟。
热情的台湾朋友为我们洗尘，

带我们去吃快炒。
所谓快炒就是我们的“煮炒”，

又经济又快。

新加坡也有一间煮炒，

叫“顺顺发海鲜”

Soon Soon Huat Seafood Restaurant
Block 94 Henderson Road

它价钱便宜，食物美味，而且服务很快。
那天，可能是没什么人的关系吧

(因为已过了晚餐时间) ，
不到五分钟，

服务生就吧一道道的美味菜肴端上桌。

味道上，很合我胃口。

师傅的手艺不会很重，调味得刚刚好。
我推见你试试

“虾酱鸡”和 “炸豆腐”
美味极了！

“顺顺发海鲜”的服务好，

价廉物美
是个绝好的用餐的地点。
注意， 听说用餐时间常常爆满，

你可要避免 peak hours 哟！
