Jamming Lady

After slogging so hard for the first half of the year, I am nearly breaking down. August is coming and I'm really excited.

Cool weather is slowly making an entrance. Wind and rain is cooling us down from the hot summer. The hot weather was a breeding ground for all the anger and irritation. I'm glad that it's leaving us.

From August onwards, it's a season of celebrations. There is National day, year end festivals and all the birthdays to celebrate. I can't wait! I thought I was "domestic-alised" (a term my friend used to call those who became homely, or simply aunty). I probably became what you would call, fusion. I am loving the party celebrations with family. It can be at home, in a pub or a hotel. A reason to celebrate probably made it more meaningful and memorable.

I've came to realise something crappy. Living is about tolerance. Celebration is about living.

Survive that and I should see light.

Just shifted to new place. Lots of things to be done but I am taking it bit by bit. Writing with my iPhone now, it is super slow. I shall look for a good tool to write more. Ciao!

It seems that it's the peak season for my work. New directions come in like water running from the taps. It's flowing... and flowing.. and it's overflowing! It's really overwhelming. It is at a point such that I can't concentrate on my personal things.

The load can't help feeling heavy. A 10kg load feels 10kg obviously.. what else can it be?

I am too tired. Getting away does not solve the problem, it's still there...

Recently, the night just spells trouble. I am almost sure that my intuition is right. When lies fall in between the lines, I could sense it immediately. Somehow, my nose sniffed it like a dog.

I am really at a lost of words. I felt betrayed. It is obvious but no one seemed to pay any attention. Can't trust a lying and pretending man anymore. It's just too much for me take. I can only pray that the lier will one day return to his own senses before anything major happens. I do not wish to bother anymore. It is as if I don't have enough stress.

God, do answer my prayers. I need it badly.

Today marks my first drive on the expressway. It is a milestone of my life. I can finally drive on the public road!!

The drive wasn't perfect but I didn't feel nervous or worried either. The car's gear stick is abit stiff and it isn't what I am used to. I believe that I'll be okay with it with more usage of it. Driving is a very logical thing; driving is like programming. Driving manual car is sometimes about learning the science behind each component of the car. So cool.

However, I still probably wouldn't like to drive to work every morning. Why get pissed off by other cars on the road and then get stressed at work after that?

This is the day I passed my 2nd KPI that was carried forward from last year. I'm glad that I achieved! Here is a glass of wine to celebrate.

With the rich tapas that we had, this was a really good full body wine to drink with.

Simple food fare for the annual commercially celebrated day. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the present that I wrapped so nicely with a ribbon. I felt that it is the highlight of the day.

Botak Jones

Egyptian Restaurant

BluJazz Bar

This is our home-made Yu Sheng for Chinese New Year 2009. It never fails to be the best amongst all the commercial ones.

At the ulu area of Wessex Estate, you seem to find another paradise of its own. Unlike Dempsey road which has recently become commercialised, Wessex Estate remained undisturbed.

Colbar is one of the places in which you didn't even imagine it as a bar. It's not really an upmarket bar or pub. In fact, it's more like a coffee shop selling european beers.

Food isn't something of their expertise. I think drinking beer there would be a cool thing.

Coffeeshop setup of the Colbar. Very quiet in the afternoon and it gets crowded surprisingly at night.

The view from the inside.

Metal plate write-up of the place.

Our London Pride Beer, tastes good!

No packaging, as simple as it is.

This is a recent food adventure. Influenced by the tonnes of steamboat we had, we decided to try a commercial one.

Tian Tian Steamboat is located in Bugis area, just behind Liang Seah street. They impressed us with the soup tastes!

The setup

Here comes the Pot.

Meat, meat and more Meat!

Tom Yam Soup and Corn Rib Soup

Our second serving

Same as all other buffets, it fills you to the brim!
