RICHE™

Just came back from field camp with lots of “love bites” here and there. Screw that thing which bit me for all those sleepless nights! 2 days of off-in-lieu for burning my weekends so watta do? Rent korean drama to pass time Chanced upon Bad Couple with the name on the cd cover as Perfect Match but watever~

It started with a daring move by a lady who wanted to become “miss mom” - unmarried woman who chose not to marry but want to have children. So she went ard hunting for the best man with good genes to pass onto her beloved soon-to-be-daughter. The ultimate candidate was a university lecturer - professor in biology (plants). After two beddings, she finally became pregnant but things went wrong mths after the good news. A cancerous lump grew in her ovary and the only solution to prevent her life from being endangered was to remove the undeveloped baby as well as her ovary rendering her childless for life. Though there were hiccups in her relationship with the professor due to the pressing match-making planned by his father, she endured the pain and loneliness to let her baby see the daylight eventually.

Then there’s this faithful housewife of ten years whose husband wanted a divorce badly so he could live with his junior (both doctors). Initially this legally wedded wife pleaded him to stay on on the acct of their son but he couldn’t care nonetheless. A plot sprung up to test the remaining love of her husband by engaging a fake lover to arouse jealousy with appearances of the couple (wife and fake lover) where-ever the husband and his junior went. A twist of fate interchanged the mindset of both parties and this time round the wife demanded the divorce while the husband pleaded on to salvage the marriage. To make matters worse, the fake lover who’s a model and owns a gym and a chain of fashion boutiques fell in love with the wife.

It’s been a nong nong time since i last blogged. Busy, tired and sleep deprived as usual…  But, just yesterday, i managed to get out of house, stopped being a “zai nan” for a day, headed down to Smith Street at Chinatown to sing K. It’s actually more of a coincidence that i found the location of Ten Dollar Club Pte Ltd. A few weeks ago, two of my friends and i went to taste Dallas Chicken’s $10 afternoon buffet which is at Chinatown as well (here’s a short review: long waiting time, lack of staff, food ain’t bad at all but forgot some of our orders and gotta ask for chilli sauce myself, owner is friendly though).  Upon departing the restaurant, we discussed where to head next and one of my friends came up with the idea of karaoke. He mentioned that there’s a budget KTV nearby as advertised on TV but we didn’t know exactly where. Lately, i chanced upon a client’s blog and there he was promoting this particular KTV.  Here’s the website: http://jkeart.com/entertainment/index.htm

Just visited this friend of mine whom i know since my jc days. Tall, dark, sporty, joker, clown, lame. These are what i can think of when his name is being mentioned. But never did i expect such an energetic guy like him to be down with some kind of cancerous growth located near his heart. In the beginning, i thought it was a real joke when i heard of it just like anyone else i suppose. However, to my horror, sometimes life is cruel and things just turn out to be the way they shouldn’t be. We all grow to learn and accept but this is actually pretty difficult in reality. His parent were there when we went and they seemed quite strong in their mind. I believe this is essential and more importantly, he needed them more than anything else - TLC from the bottom of their heart. I can proudly say that this friend of mine is a rare breed - a FILIAL son. He knows his parents have worked their youth away so he could go to university and even at the point of breaking down, he didn’t wish to give up on trying for the coming exams. Parental disappointment is never in his dictionary. I guess it’s about time that i look up to him. It’s really saddening to see him in that state when we first arrived. He must be thinking that it’s best we don’t look him up, definitely not at this point of time. He seemed restless and kinda ‘pek chek’. There’s so many question marks circling around his head. So many WHYs. They made him think more and more. Perhaps he should have gained enlightenment as of now, after so many mind-draining battles. Seriously i didn’t know what to say to him, and being afraid of shooting out something that might hurt him whether directly or indirectly, it’s best to keep my conversation with him as short as possible and let others take the lead. Eventually, i’m glad to see his usual self back again. Take care my friend… I will not pray for you as you’ll definitely win this battle without doubt.

My gu1 gu1 complained about me grinding my teeth at night when i’m asleep. Mum told me about this before but i didn’t really put it into my mind and probably couldn’t care nonetheless. I’m kinda free today so thought of searching some info about bruxism online. Here’s my findings:

Extracted from http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/ask_the_doctor/teethgrinding.shtml

Ain’t feeling well today. My throat is turning sore soon… i hope not. In fact i’m dying to get MC today but the low headcount of my dept stopped me from being absent from work. Just when i’m truely sick (not that i always take MC for the wrong reasons) and longing for a rest day, things just didn’t work out the way i want them to be. The last time i took a MC was during last year end. Hauled my body to work and was late for 15 mins. Low headcount = increased workload. Xiong man… What’s worst is that most of the competent staff have left. What’s left are the new birds trying to pick up new skill sets independently everyday amidst the tight work schedule. There’s too much to learn and most importantly there’s no time to learn except perhaps after office hours. Learning in this case is really a never ending journey. Managed to leave the office only after 7pm for 3 consecutive days this week. Have you ever had the feeling of being extremely sleepy yet you couldn’t even get a wink? I’ve been experiencing this when i board the bus on my way home. Glance around… darn there’s no empty seats! No choice gotta stand and close my eyes while the bus was on the move. At times i could really doze off while standing but this was all happening in like 5 seconds only for i’ll be awaken once my centre of gravity strays away from the norm. Imagine sleeping for just 5 seconds and waking up immediately after that? Let the cycle repeats itself and your body will suffer in due course.

The nightmare is finally over. Thankfully it was quite a close shave. A lesson learnt not by me but by my partner. Finally i can sleep well tonight HURzZz… Time for some serious business in the weeks to come. Needa go full force into the things which have been left hanging for way too long. Without going into the tiger’s den, how are you going to capture their cubs? I truely believe the time has come… Don’t you think so?

I’m anticipating a sleepless night today My wallet grew darn fat this evening and went back to it’s original thickness in less than 5 mins after conducting a high risk event. Guess i must be crazy to actually do such a thing without an insurance. You must be thinking wth am i saying right? HAHA^^^ It’s always difficult to keep readers in suspense :P Having to come up with this decision in the midst of work plus all the additional burden from work, OMG~ my life can never be dull for even a split second today. GEEzZz…

走在人挤人的走道我问了自已
没有爱情的人是否会长命
那些电影常常让人感觉甜蜜
但是我不相信

坐在没有人的角落我又问自已
究竟应该继续还是该放弃
没有人能了解我现在的心情
想看你想躲你难以决定

每当我想靠近你总会装冷静
眼看你的表情仿佛已经说明
我只想要证明我们这段爱情
也许在你眼里它只是个游戏
我只想要靠近也很想要抱紧
会想到那过去和现在新的你
我还想要参与你的生活点滴
只要你肯相信
我一定会陪你走下去

坐在没有人的角落我又问自已
究竟应该继续还是该放弃
没有人能了解我现在的心情
想看你想躲你难以决定

每当我想靠近你总会装冷静
眼看你的表情仿佛已经说明
我只想要证明我们这段爱情
也许在你眼里它只是个游戏
我只想要靠近也很想要抱紧
会想到那过去和现在新的你
我还想要参与你的生活点滴
只要你肯相信
我一定会陪你走下去

能不能够让我再说我爱你
还是你已不想听
能不能够把你彻底的忘记
我是真的搞不清

每当我想靠近你总会装冷静
眼看你的表情仿佛已经说明
我只想要证明我们这段爱情
也许在你眼里它只是个游戏
我只想要靠近也很想要抱紧
会想到那过去和现在新的你
我还想要参与你的生活点滴
只要你肯相信
我一定会陪你走下去

只要你再相信
我们会轻轻地靠在一起

Oh yea… so full of energy! Took a sip of cuppa in the midst of my gym session. YuckS~ it’s darn bitter Zzz… It’s been a long time since i drank coffee. Cost me 2 bucks which went down the drain lor… I’m thinking of starting a 2, 4, 6 training regime. Come back to DADDY* 6 packies!!! Been getting fat day by day ever since i started working (too many goodies in the office ;P). The key to a healthy bod is mental DISCIPLINE. Hopefully this spirt of mine would last long enough to get back into shape. First day of training and unfortunate things happened DotzZz… Someone in the gym stole this guy’s jeans in the changing room and apparently i was sort of the last person to enter that room. Oh well it definitely wasn’t me and the gym attendant didn’t “grill” me for that luckily. Whoever the culprit… may your pants be stolen so you’ll have to walk around in your undies someday HurZz^^

Mum has been nagging with regards to my further studies… How much $ have i saved so far? Not what she expects so starting from next mth, i’ll be letting her safekeep quite a portion of my salary. Mummy’s boy huh?! Dream on hehehe~ Let me intro you an informative website. It’s http://www.zenhabits.net I chance upon an article ( http://zenhabits.net/2007/05/6-great-free-alternatives-to-quicken-ms-money/#more-339 ) listing a few online financial tools and find that http://www.wesabe.com/ seems to be the best among all. You’ll be able to track your cashflow by creating cash accounts and creating credit or debit transactions. You can also tag the transactions so that you’ll know how much you’ve spent on a particular expenditure. On top of this, there are interesting tips for these tags which are provided by other wesabers as well.    

Cheese Naan

Mutton Curry

Palak Paneer

Butter Chicken

207 Upp Thomson Rd Yew Lian Park S(574346)

Tel: 62529038

Been to this restuarant numerous times. The friendly owner Charlene is an indian-chinese. They introduced italian cuisine recently but the prices are kinda on the high side compared to the north indian cuisine. The “must try” dishes will be butter chicken and palak paneer (cottage cheese in broccoli i think). Have yet to try their italian dishes. Will be there again when i’ve got the spending power UPz… The naans are abit hard, perhaps they should make them thinner so it’s easier on the teeth.
