When given a lemon

On lunar new year eve, just as I was driving out of the carpark to head for my reunion dinner, I heard strange noises.

I stopped the car and got out to take a look and discovered that the front left wheel got a puncture. I drove back to the carpark and used Derrick's car instead.

As it's CNY, all mechanics are closed for the public holidays. I tried to change to the spare tire this morning so that tomorrow I could drive it to a mechanic. I've replaced tire before so it is not a challenge for me. As I was changing the tire, I realized that the floor is not concrete road but there are holes and the jack could not rest firmly on the floor. So a problem arose while I was trying to solve the first problem. I managed to shift the car back a little and found a spot where the jack could rest firmly on the concrete floor, but only after screwing back all the nuts which i had already unscrewed.

Life is like that, and many times, problems keep arising while you are trying to find solutions. And it always happen to me. But I guess we just have to be very focused to solve all problems, no matter how many more will arise along the way, ultimately everything will turn out well. Never give in to life, take each problem at a time and you will triumph over all the stumbling stones.

When life gives you lemons, it sucks but turn them into lemonade, never ever give in to life's challenges!

Flowers red red

Tomorrow kicks start the lunar new year.

As usual, I bought flowers, the red one, to decorate the house.
Flowers symbolize prosperity.
Wishing all of you prosperity throughout the year.

花开富贵， 身体健康
万事如意， 新年快乐

I like this!

My friend's rendition of Da Vinci's angel.

Really like her work.

Ramen Monster

I had my lunch at Ramen Monster at Novena Square 1, opposite Spinelli coffee.

The pork broth soup base was tasty, I finish every drop of the soup. You could taste the natural sweetness of the pork in the soup.

Must try.

Copy sketch

Spent 3 hours this morning copying one of Da Vinci's painting.

Kind of disappointed with the end product as it did not quite resemble the original.

Charcoal

Tried charcoal drawing this afternoon and realized that it is really not easy.

The difficulty for me with charcoal is getting the right tones and shades.

Definitely have to spend more time practising with the black gold.

Ramen Play

I had my lunch at Ramen Play at 313 Orchard this afternoon. The restaurant is situated at B3.

Service was good and the hotstone rice which I ordered was delicious. The hotstone kept the rice hot the whole time. The rice was cooked to perfection and the sauce fragrant the rice mildly and not over salty. The lower layer of rice was slightly burnt to crispy perfection.

Oishi!

Will definitely go back again to try the ramen.
