Less is more

Recently, I experiencing a phenomena and it made me realised that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I knew at times when things are crowding me out, it turns me off.
That's when I believe less is more.

How interesting.
I realised everything in life is like a magnet.
It's divided into north and south pole, i.e. there's one thing and the other against it.

Restless week

This week has been stressful. With the coy audit nearing, now is the qtr end, and recently I was assigned to do a daily report for Bernard, life became hectic. In fact, it was part of my job responsibility, however Deric been helping me to complete them for the past few months. Now, he handed the responsibility back to me. Amen.

Despite encountering some hiccups for the 1st few days, such as spending almost all the time doing the report, burning off my weekends, staring at the screen intensely for the whole day, skipping lunch for this whole week to complete it, and ultimately led doubts into my mind. The stress level has hit the highest point once again. Felt like a living dead at the end of each day. Unable to be aware of everything that happened around me. The worst thing is that I got lost in time. Yesterday seems like a few days ago.

I suddenly thought, "Is it worth to battle against all odds for my job?, do I deserve them?"
At that moment, doubts are really making me fatigue, mentally.
However, life has to go on, and I believed this little stress is nothing.
What's all these little stress compared to some crisis other people are undergoing?

Obsesion

Hai, me and cousin are real Gackt-sama's fan-si. Up till now, living for 2 decades plus, I never expect we are still like kiddo whenever we thought of Gackt. Recently, met up with Tetsu got obsessed dressing and acting like Gackt, worse thing is that he even borrowed my makeup kit. Though he don't looked like one, haha, but with a good photographer and editor, it was really a makeover... *smirk*

Here's one picture of his makeover, cool? hmmm, not exactly...hahaha.

Biscuits

Today, I shall introduce you all 2 type of biscuits.


Meiji's animal biscuit (SGD0.85)

Available in all supermarkets. Cute animal prints. Great for teaching children while enjoying the snacks. However, as usual, they tasted very normal, dry. Hence, not worth to specially buy it.

Taiwan Niu She Bing- Strawberry flavoured (SGD 2.90)

Can't find it anywhere except Lao Zhao Pang at Marina Square level 1 near Giant. LZB sells all traditional taiwanese snacks such as NSB, tai yang bing (sunflower biscuit), feng li shu (pineapple layer cake) and many other biscuits and sweets. However, I love the service of the staffs there. Thumbs up! Can't compare to many shops. Could consider one of the very best I had encountered. Enjoy the introduction of the traditional sweets there, and worth to buy any of their products.

Snacks at Smith Street

After the trip to Ikea, me and my sis went down to Chinatown for some desserts. As it was rather late, we stopped by at the da pai dang in chinatown. Had Hoover rojak and Ah Balling green tea glutinous balls (tang yuan).


Green Tea Tang Yuan with Peanut Soup
6 balls for SGD2
Tasty and the filling inside is actually green tea flavoured lotus paste, not very sweet too.

Hoover Rojak (SGD3)

As can be seen, the rojak is not watery. Blended perfectly with the big chunks of ingredients. Uncle put the right amount of granted peanut. However, I could only rate it as fine. It could be better if served warm, as in the you tiao is crispy and heated up.

Ikea Swedish Meatballs

Yuhoo... It's the Ikea Swedish Meatballs. SGD5.80 for 10 balls and some potato. This traditional dish had captured the stomach of mine. Hope it's the same for you. It's great, served with special gravy and a little lingonberry jam. Hehe.. Tasty.

RE: Friday Outing~

Went for KTV on Friday. We had planned it for a few weeks and finally, what a great evening we had. Some of the colleagues couldn't make it, so it's down to Jeanette, Serene, Elyn, Zheng Ming and Me. Deric left halfway and Mun Yue joined us after his gym session.

Went to Maxwell food centre for dinner 1st. I patronised Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice. Heard that it's worth a try and indeed it is. Sedap with no regrets. Hehe... Ate 2 calories laden deep fried sweet potato balls cos lose in a bet. Sucks, but I must say they are nice. :)

Head straight to Party World cos they said it's much cheaper compared to K-box. I'm not sure though... And then the real party began. Hahaha...

As usual, chose all kind of songs. Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, English. At that moment, the word "shy" is taken away from the dictionary. All sang like a pro... Haha... So funny. Jeanette even videoed Zheng Ming when he's singing that Hokkien song, "if I had one million". Haha... So uncle, didn't sounds and looked like someone of his age. Haiyo, how can? Too bad, didn't get to hear Deric sing the Medley by Leo Ku. Love that. The best thing that night is how the import team showed their strong bonding. Serene and Me chose Elva Siao's Ai de Zhu Da Ge, and it is the kind of song where we can stand and rock man.. We simply asked Zheng Ming to dance his breakdance seven and who knows he did and even twice. That song was hot, baby, unbelievable, the bond has gone up a level. Haha. We closed the singing session with "Cha Sao Bao". Haha.

Later, we continued the outing with a durian feast at Geylang. Wahaha. Along the way in the bus, we laughed and joked that some people beside us also joined in. Really cannot tahan our lame jokes. Zheng Ming is a pro in making jokes out of what we speak, cannot stand him. Hahaha... The durians tasted great, we ate 9 and drank coconut juice. Lovely. That uncle gave us a box of the supreme quality durian, "mo shan wang" free. haha gained it. Really different from the rest. Ate, drank, joked, laughed till 2 plus. Damn song. Later, we were too full, so the rest decided to walk me home before they take a cab. And so we walked all the long way back to my house, joking and laughing despite the wee hours and quiet surroundings. We even spotted a couple having intimate moments. Haha...

Well-spent weekend

Took a day off on Monday. Hehe.. I'm so delighted when I could spend one more day sleeping and waking up late. Now I knew the importance. Haha.. Listening to The Pussycat Dolls, just bought the album today. Didn't really know what makes me buy their album but I think the songs are suitable for some sort of dance and so voila! There it goes...

This weekend was well-utilised. Haha... Didn't really have a good sleep myself despite telling the others to rest well. Haha.. It all started on Thurs, supposedly the last day of month end. Arranged most shipments to be delivered into the warehouse. Also, Jimmy treated me and Deric to B & J's after work. Never knew it was also a grievance session.

Friday, went to COMEX during lunch, saw Zheng Ming's twin brother. Hehe... Actually both of them looks rather different. We still joked that Sally-jie is going to "kan qing", while Serene and I are going to meet our "future husbands". Each one get one of the twins. Haha, xiao1 daoooooo1 (laugh untillllll). Recently, after Zheng Ming joined the dept, he turned the whole group upside down. What a clown. ;)
After work, met LP, Jac and Sal for dinner at Marina Square. Went to buy the ingredients for my Tiramisu. Sal cut her hair, ooh lala.. that was nice!

Saturday, broke my usual sleeping hours for every Saturday. Woke up at noon, cos' going to the picture house for the movie, "barnyard". Fedex's giving free tickets to us. The movie was damn crappy, but worth the watch, made us relax after all. Arrived at Marina South for a short bowling session before going to Tiong Bahru for dinner. Tried the cui gui (shui guo), pretty delicious... That was not the end of day... Later, I went to sing KTV at Parkway... Haha... really chiong that night.
Sunday, went for service. After that, met Steve for lunch. Finally got to try New York New York.Hehe... But to my disappointment, the food was below our expectation. The food menu came out with the normal meals, and some modified ones, like the mushroom cuppacino. Later, we went for pool cos' the bowling alley was fully packed, and so we had to give up bowling.
Steve felt hungry damn fast, he craved for desserts, so we headed to raffles city and settled in Out of the Pan for some crepes. I felt that the crepes wasn't that bad and was filling.

When I got home, got the mood of making some desserts, so I whipped up tiramisu. Hehe... Gonna take pics when I dug into it. ;)

*ZZzzzZZzzz* felt like sleeping le, really tired dunno why, words also type incorrectly. haha...
Will continue the next day.. Hehe..
