Life As It Presents Itself

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." -- Alfred D. Souza

Back on track to a slightly more sporty lifestyle. Something which I'm more accustomed to when I was a teenager. Haha... Require less sleep then perhaps. Now as age catches up with me, the body is sounding out that I need more sleep. Haha... :D Love to listen to soft music and, sit back and relax these days. Catching up with some old friends over the weekends over a cuppa tea, coffee, or booze is something of a norm in recent yrs too. :)

Zhi Zha Encounter

Funny thing that I've encountered today. Was at dinner with my gal and Mervy & wife. Wanted to order some "zhi zha" but was appalled by what we were to hear. My gal wanted to order hor fun, but instead of having the normal ingredients, she only wanted chicken meat, cos she's allergic to most seafood. We were told that that's gonna cost 5 bucks when the normal cost only 3! What logic is this?! Just becos we change to chicken and thats gonna be 5 bucks?! It seems easier to cook cos it's only chicken instead of the usual prawns, pork, sotongs, and vegetables. Does it mean that if i order hor fun without the "toppings", it's gonna cost 2 bucks? Cos it's lesser to cook mah. This seems like a daylight robbery! (FYI: the coffeeshop is in Hougang St 21)

Went to a Chinese physician after work. As usual, gotta wait like crazy cos the queue is kinda long. I've been delaying treatment for my back which has been acting up on and off recently. Too lazy to seek treatment, despite knowing the consequences. Haha... But hey, I went today, rite? And boy... the physician gave me a gd, hard massage on my back until I burst into sweat. Hopefully it'll be gd tomorrow when i get outta bed. Haha...

That's all for now. Till the next blog, cheers!

Fireworks


It's National Day today. Happy 41st Birthday Singapore!!! Haha... Went with my gal to watch fireworks last nite around Marina area. The place was truely crowded. Huge amount of people, mostly Singaporean, gathered around the area, from Esplanade to the Padang. And lots of them had disregards for traffic along the roads. Think it's really a horrid time for drivers that nite. Lucky I wasn't one of them. Haha...

After the display, we wanted to head to Gelare for some deserts, but sadly, by the time we reached there, the counter staff informed us that they were closed. Sigh... So we headed to TCC instead. And had the muddy mud pie. Wahaha... "No fish, prawn also gd lah" Haha...
