Right Decision

Taking a 6 months career break is indeed a right decision.

Feel like a different me.. Previously I was too hard on myself. After this break, I realized that I cannot change the world and how people behave. I've learned to relax and be
lenient with myself.. Don't push too hard and take it easy.

Now that I'm back to work and I feel great and recharge. Just that my brain is not functioning as quickly I've to after shutting down for half a year.

Year of Dragon (2012)

Welcome 2012 the year of dragon

I'm going to make it a fulfilling, successful and happy year.

Reunion Dinner 2012

Had our reunion dinner on 14 January.

Wonderful time with the family and I had a great time sleep over and do pillow talk with my sister. We even drove to industry park to buy yam paste, sashimi etc. A little tiring managing the musketeers but it was enjoying and fun-filled trip.

This year, we had yusheng from Kuriya. Steamboat as main course with no left over foods and dessert is yam paste with ginkgo nuts.

How I wish reunion dinner is twice yearly or even quarterly :)

Wishing for a better 2012

Start to feel busy.. Hoping for more good news and everything goes well.

Work hard! Work hard! Work hard! Stay focus and concentrate..

Hello 2012¡

Hello 2012! Going to be an exciting year.

Please make it big and successful for me and my family!

Bye 2011

Bye bye lousy 2011.. I don't miss you at all and can't wait to get over with this year!

Hooray! Over and done with 2011!

End of Year 2011

I haven't been posting for half a year.

I had a lousy 2011 for a start and I ended my misery in August.. Now trying to find my life back and hopefully 2012 would be a better year.

Daim Cake

My first try of daim cake at Ikea.. A bit too sweet but I like the texture.. Will stick to the almond or chocolate cake next time.

Sweety

Craving my sweet tooth again.. Warm molten chocolate cake at The Coffee Beanstro @ Marina Bay Sands

Chocolate is so rich... the vanilla ice-cream is lovely and the presentation is beautiful :)

Gong Xi Fa Cai 2011

Back to work tomorrow... feel a bit drag..

I'm been pondering very hard these few days.. What I really want? What I really need?

Is time to buck up!!

Cross Road

Felt like I'm at the cross road once more.. In life, we have to make so many decision.. we are given many choices, many options.. This time should I turn right or turn left? I know for sure, no matter what decision I make, I will never know if it is the best cause I can only wonder what happen if I have choose the other option..

Another year! Another birthday!

Another year passed by.. another new year.. and time again to celebrate Eve's birthday.  Eve wants to eat crab so we went to Jumbo Clarke Quay "again".. I must really says again cause I just had Jumbo on 17Dec.

We chat so much and busy with our traveling present and Christmas present give away that I didn't take any pic :)

It was a great night although it was raining.. but it didn't dam our mood at all.

Happy Birthday Evelyn :)

New Job; New Environment

New job.. not sure if it is the right choice but definitely something that I want to do and good prospect.  The worrying issues are no process and politics.  Hope my new boss can resolve one issue for me.  Into my 3rd weeks now, I need to get use to new environment... no facebook, no gmail, no msn... it means less blogging and networking with friends.

The happy thing.. my ex-boss and ex-colleagues are connecting with me :) Love them all!

Fish Soup

After so many days of heavy foods... I finally need to go for something light.. Fish soup! I like this very much cause it come with the salted bean sauce, the fish slice is thick and lot of veg.

lovely glassware with an LV as background ... just being naughty :)

 I ordered the flowery tea - Emperor White Garden (it smell so good - like a perfume!)

Vanessa - Morocoon Mint Tea (which really taste like chewy gum) and Mavis - Jasmine Pearl (like any other green tea).. mine is the most creative!

everything look yummy.. and I can tell you, it taste super good although I'm not a fan of dessert.. but this seriously cannot be wrong!  

 OMG! drooling...

My date with darling Vanessa... to celebrate my freedom!! Didi Jerry was suppose to join us for lunch but his boss cancelled the business trip so he got to lunch with him.. He wants to take leave just to join us cause he really miss me.. haha!! keep telling him never mind and we can lunch another day with him.. and I thinks he couldn't work cause at the end of the day.. he called and ask about our date. He is really my darling.. I'm very lucky to have such nice kaki..

Counting down to the next 6 happy days.. all programs lined up tightly and I thinks 6 days is not enough.. haha!!

This is our first experience to eat Japanese ala carte buffet for lunch.. we were bloated but we had the world of time to laze ;p  The foods are yummy but the company, gossip and time we had were fantastic..

Mixed sashimi - thick and fresh.. now think of it, still feel like eating

Salmon fish head - de-boned by darling Vanessa

Beef fillet - this is really tender and it melted in the mouth.. drooling :p

Cod fish with teriyaki sauce - nothing fantastic.. is just that i didn't want to order salmon cause i think cod fish more expensive.. haha! *greedy*

Gyoza & Soft shell crab

Beef slice for shabu shabu

peanut, chilli and soya sauce

Mini shabu shabu.. cause really too full to eat anymore but i want to drink the soup :)

We still had octopus, jelly fish, grilled unagi and chawamushi. I think we did very well although there were lot of wastage.. I met a friend at the restaurant and he offer to foot the bill for us.. After lunch, we went to Vivo for shopping and follow by dessert..

Looking forward to the next date with darling Vanessa on Friday... TWG!!
