It's always been that way and I doubt it'll change anytime soon. It's just so disappointing that it is happening again and it has already happened for so long. I still thought you were a nice person, now I know you appear to be one with your empty words where the actions never follow through. People say that these kind of stuff happen. Thought it could be different. Sadly after starting and experiencing it myself, it isn't and maybe you're worse than what they say;

 

Have you ever been in a place where you don't really know what you're doing? Well, I'm in that place right now. Actually, I knew what I wanted to do a long time ago, before I made (stupid) choices. Now, it may never be achievable again because of my circumstances. Can't totally blame the circumstances too, because my mind also faltered along the way. The urge is not as strong now, but if I could do it all over again, maybe I would have done it another way. For now, it could be the next nearest thing to it, but unless something starts to progress, it seems like a bleak place to be in. Perhaps the conventional choice is really the better choice;

Ever since my first volunteer work, I can't rmb any once have I felt unhappy doing it. I believe that people who do not have the most are always the ones who appreciate the most - because they've lived the worse, and they know what is it like to have something, to even not have something. It's not everything you have means its good. Sometimes, when you don't have, it's better. Take for example, if you don't have to worry about getting a job you like, if you don't have to face bullying, if you don't have to worry about anything. This may be why I like helping them, cause they appreciate what you've done for them, and it really shows. They are much more sensitive towards others, much more thouhtful when the others don't even bother to think more about what they just blabber out of their mouth or commit an action. And more often than not, they don't expect reciprocation. They are okay with always being there when you want them to, but they don't expect you to be there when they want you to. From another perspective,  it could be because you feel they need and want you there, more than whatever place you could be at. Why would you stay at a place where there is no need of you, and not be at another where whatever you can contribute and help in another persons life. Honestly,  I don't find anything more satisfying than helping people, maybe perhaps doing something arty farty. Sometimes I dunno why I'm doing this, sometimes I dunno why I'm doing anything I'm doing at all. Anyway, its an internal conflict which only I can solve in time to come. Please don't dictate my life, I'm me, not you.

And the name says it all...

-----I went to a pub!-----

Okay, more like "pub" because it's not the drinking kind of place, more like an adaptation of it. The ambiance makes its quite homely and feels like we're overseas (although I have nv gone to an overseas pub before). Overall, the food was quite surprising and nice. It's quite ex too, with a set meal costing up to $60+. But they had the one-for-one offer and he bought the coupon, so just try lorh! haha =)

The appetizer : bread with special sauce which tasted quite nice

Ah! I like this : Salmon in a rose shape (the plate design is quite nice too)

The main thing : I like the potatoes best =P

-----the small meal----

Haha, we went back here because we had the wanna-eat-but-don't-wanna-eat-too-much kind of feeling again, and because we didn't had to order full meals, this place will be a good place to satisfy our tummys. This time round, we tried the polo buns. They're quite nice, crispy outside and meaty inside. But the only thing I didn't really like was that it wasn't hot from the oven. They're meant more for the takaways, so mass produced and place at the display there we guess...it's a good try though.

Since we don't come here often, we decided to get the things we haven't ordered before. Hence, we ordered the fried thingys (shiet i forgot what are they), and the yew char kway wrapped in chee jiong fan skin. The fried one is nice. Wouldn't order the yew char kway thingy again though, not that it's not nice, but it feels weird eating it that way and we can get the nice yew char kway under a dollar at elsewhere too.

Double boiled chicken soup. Hmmm it's not bad butt..I prefer the crystal jade one better =X

-----one month liao-----

Yes, it's been one month already. Money has been exchanged. And what comes in, will go out. But this is a happy lost I guess, cos' I get to eat them good food too! Yummy! 

-----tei & sushi-----

Recently, I had some salmon craving. It's a really expensive craving when a piece can cost up to $1.90 and you need much much much moore than a single piece to satisfy your craving. So one thing led to another and we ended up at this sushi place again. Here, we sat teppanyaki-style beside the chefs preparing the meals. It's actually not too bad this way cause firstly, we get to skip a queue, secondly, we get the freshest meat cause they will prepare and serve us directly (save the time taken to wait for the waiters/waitresses to get the orders and walk to our table), and finally, it's my first time sitting this way (although its not the authentic teppanyaki meal but it's good enuf!). Quite awkward at first cause it's not only a one-way customer stare at chef, but a two way thing. But along the way, I learned that the way to go, is to stare at the sashimi meat instead.

And to satisfy the salmon crave, we ordered mostly salmon dishes. I was still craving for salmon after that though...the troubles of a person with big stomach =/

-----tang lai liao-----

Need smth to fill your stomach for awhile but don't wanna wait for too long? Soup is the way to go. I still like home-cooked soups better though...

-----furniture food-----

Guess where we ate? Yes, ikea of course. The meatballs meal : made up of countless meatballs with side dishes such as chicken wings, mushroom soup, ebi sandwich, broccoli & of course, sa-sa-salmon. I seriously need a salmon buffet. (x.x) 

The End! That's all foods!

Yesterday, I went for a run in a super loong time, and it felt good. I didn't tire as easily like in the past which is quite surprising. I was also prepared for legs to be aching badly today but it didn't happen, and so I thought today was gonna be a good day....until this happened -.- There I was, taking the shuttle bus to my destination, and still thinking of whether or not to have breakfast before heading to my office when it happened. I alighted from the bus found my phone neither in my jacket pockets, nor in my pants pocket! It wasn't in my bag pocket either *lost*. Then I turned and I saw the bus driving away. ". . ." were the only thoughts I could think of at that moment because I tried seeing the but plate number but it was already too far gone. *PANIC ATTACK STARTS HERE* I sorta walk-jogged to my office and immediately dialed my number. I was thinking luckily my phone is password protected because the chances of it being not-returned will be reduced as the picker might give up hacking the phone and stuff. (Everyone rmb to password lock your phone ah!) The labtec gave me a number to call to report lost & found and when I called it, the speaker says she's under maintenance, and the lost  & found personnel can only be contacted after 830am by calling the same number. wts. I'm trying to get back my phone asap to avoid all the trouble of tracing and they're saying "sorry we can't help you until working hours". So things don't get lost on non-working hours? Why do school starts at 8am then? -.- Okay back to the part where I password-protected my phone, I recalled that I could answer calls w/o needing to unlock my phone. So I starting my call-my-own-number-spamming system using the office phone.Thank goodness someone picked up ah! I quickly contacted her and went to find her to get back my phone (thank you stranger!). Phew! It was a really bad experience. I rmbed I lost my phone once during the undergrad days on a public bus, and luckily it was also a student who picked it up & from the same school also, making the collection easier. Heng ah. Okay so in short, it's always good to: password-lock phone, put phone at places where it won't drop (like tight pockets where you can feel the presence of the phone), and if worse comes to worse, lose the phone only in school-related places cos you're more likely to get it back in that case. In some lost cases, it's actually quite interesting because the loser turned the event around to target the steal-er like in this case, a guy stole a tourist's phone and began taking images with it (read the link, it's a 'live' blog and it's really interesting). At the age of internet and connectivity, everything online or photographerble is no longer a secret. What's more, there's auto-sync function and some cloud in the air which has the capacity to store so much information. Takeaway point here, is return what you found. We don't lose anything, we'll help someone and better still we'll have good karma ;)

Alright, enuf of that. Here's one interesting article I read on yahoo news (here's the way I read it) :

Your brain is Team Coco(a) Click here to go to article

Harvard Medical School researchers published a study this week that suggests your brain may crave chocolate as much as your mouth does, especially as you get older.

Seniors that drank two cups of hot cocoa a day not only improved their times on memory tests, they saw an increase in blood flow to the brains of some of the participants who'd had decreased flow to start. Decreased blood flow is one of the hallmarks of a variety of cognitive diseases, such as Alzheimer's; reversing it can only mean good things for your grey matter.

Unfortunately the exact link between brain health and chocolate needs a lot more study before we'll get the green light from our doctors to go on a hot cocoa binge. Until then, cocoa flavanols — the primary suspect in chocolate's brain boosting ability — have already been demonstrated to help control blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.

That'll have to satisfy our cravings for justification for now.

-end of post-

Awesome! I guess it's time to schedule chocolate drinking into my daily routine...okay then, I'll end this post with a chocolatey statement "My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M's and a chocloate cake. I feel better already." - Dave Barry

*scribble scribble* must go back finish tub of chocolate ice cream, sea shell chocolates, chocolate nuts...*scribble scribble*
