Thoughts

In a couple days’ time, we will be going to say goodbye to 2008. 2009 has not come quickly enough. There have been a lot of downs this year but I must remind myself there have been a couple of ups as well… because life is all about them both. I also have to remind myself that we need the downs in life to feel the ups, so if you step back and look at the big picture, it’s all good. The year has made me realised I can actually be a much stronger person than I think.

 I cannot wait for the 8 to turn into a 9. Let’s see what we got for 2009.

Botejyu

Went to Liang Court for some japanese-grocery shopping on Saturday and found this eatery called Botejyu which served Okonomiyaki! I had wonderful memories of this food in my mind.

Okonomiyaki

I first encounter this food when I was in Osaka back in 2003, in an underground place.  At that time, we don’t know what we were eating as everything is in Japanese! So we just point here and there and viola …… we even get to cook it ourselves. Going to dig out my photos … ha ha ha … it was so good that both elaine and I missed it so much. Oh my … I didn’t know they have opened here in SG as well. But over here in SG, people will cook it for you and serve it on your table …

They have two branches here in SG. One at Liang Court, the other at Vivocity. I will definately be back again.

Unplanned For …

The plan was to meet up and have lunch. It ended with me having new clothes from G2000 and Mango as everywhere is having SALE.

Now my leg is very tired from all the shopping activity with an unplanned pair of shoes …

Blue Christmas

The never-happened duet of the King with Martina Mcbride. It is amazing what technology can create these days! This was a TV special Elvis did in 1968. Martina Mcbride was born in 1966.

Shoes

I was never a fan of pointed-covered shoes until recently when I discovered a cheap & comfortable brand.

Was shopping around Novena Sqaure 2 one day and discovered this shoe brand called Heatwave. Almost 80% of their shoes are pointed-covered. What amazes me is that although it looks uncomfortable to wear it and it seems the wearer is in pain, BUT it was not at all. The shoes don’t “bite” my feet and it is so comfortable. And the price is very pocket-friendly with most shoes going for below $30. Those with higher heels goes for between $30 plus to $40 plus. It is so much better than Charles & Keith.

New shoes from Heatwave

Although the price is cheap but mind you, the quality is not too bad. I just hope it won’t get wore out too fast. But again, with the price of below $30 per pair, I don’t mind to get new ones if it gets wore out once every 3 months. Hee hee ….

Have A Seat

but don’t break the eggs ….. hee hee

Eggs Couch

Lift My Spirits Up

Nothing beats than a good old steak at our favourite steakhouse at Serangoon Gardens. We have been too busy to visit the place for a couple of months now and we finally had the chance to go back to our regular dinner place for a quick bite last night. And the standard is still as good!

Yummy steak

And knock back a few glasses of Johnnie Walker Black Label at another favourite hunt, Friends, to end a perfect night.

Life will be better from now on …..

说好了

说好了要蓝色天空，你却画出紫色彩虹
说好了要简单朴素，你却展现亮眼夺目
说好了要平静的海，你却坚持汹涌澎湃
说好了要遗忘过去，你却勾起伤痛回忆
说好了要有商有量，你却再次自我主张
说好了要当机立断，你却又来优柔寡断
说好了要展翅高飞，你却给我拖泥带水
说好了要快乐至上，你却担心面子丢光

Long Weekend

It was a really good and nice rainy long weekend. Took the opportunity to get some much needed sleep although I went back to office for a couple of hours on Sat. Also managed to sit through 2 seasons of House! Now I can’t wait for season 5 to be ready on dvd. I’m also hooked on Brothers & Sisters. Didn’t realised I have missed this show when it was shown on Channel 5 earlier of the year. This is my kind of show that will makes me lose sleep “chasing” the episodes.

I’m looking forward to my super long break from Dec 23 to Jan 4 next year. Yiippeeee …..
