Read about something that friends have posted.
谈钱伤感情。
So true.
Sometimes I wonder…what have I not done enough to deserve that little time of yours.
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed
It's the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love, in the spring
Becomes the rose
Menses cramp almost killed me. I concussed right after a panadol pill. and there goes my Sunday.
At least the morning wasn’t wasted for my family and I had a scrumptious Dim Sum breakfast at Ang Mo Kio. Oh, how I just love food gatherings with my family! =)
I couldn’t remember the exact address but it was just somewhere near Anderson JC. It was actually a Dim Sum stall located in a coffee shop. If I’m not wrong, the stall should be called something “Just Hong Kong Dim Sum”…
To be honest, the variety wasn’t that many. Just those typical Siew Mai, Lo Mai Gai, Chee Cheong Fun, Crystal dumplings, prawn dumplings and etc.
Our bill adds up to about $40 for 5 of us
I heart the 芒果虾筒 (fried dumpling like with prawn and mango)
Looking forward to the Crab Feast tomorrow with my family! Chase those Monday Blues away! =D
We give meanings to words. And you’ve given those words the meaning of emptiness.
Again and again. The alibi is that you have “no choice”. For I would rather those words have not been said.
If those words are meant to be empty. Then don’t say anything.
For I prefer silence to empty words.
Workplan retreat at the National Museum was fun! I guess it’s because we have a wacky bunch of people in the division. But can we not have amazing race AGAIN?
Retreat ended at 4pm and I headed to Cathay for movie and dinner with Mr. GVM! I know I blogged about “UP” even when the premiere was released…but I only had the chance to watch it today. HAH~~~ In order to make it a more fulfilling experience, we opted for the 3D version.
I remembered the last time I stepped into the cinema for a 3D flick was the chinese horror film named “咒乐园”(direct english translation is cursed amusement park.). But the experience was disastrous! Because the movie was edited into both original and 3D cut, so you are required to wear the glasses only at points when the effects were included. In the end, the interchanging of shots made me felt totally nauseous. *pukes*
This time I had mentally prepared myself to experience such disgust again. haha! But surprisingly, it was a fun experience IMO! I didn’t know even the trailers were in 3D as well. So basically you can start wearing the glasses right from the trailers to the end of the movie. But honestly, I think the graphics and colours would be brighter and more contrasting in its original version. yes? no?
The only part that I found irritating throughout the show was to have the glasses slipped down my nose every few minutes…Or maybe I just don’t have that kind of high nose bridge to hold the glasses. bleukz. Plus glasses’ handles, which extended out behind my ears, kept touching against the chair which made me felt rather uncomfortable. =(
On the whole, it was an enjoyable experience for the eyes. I guess I will find myself going into the theatre for another round of visual impact from The Final Destination in 3D on 28 Aug???
Yes I know I’ve not been updating my blog lately!
Because…I have not been coming online haha~
Especially yesterday, I slept at 10pm!
Sadly, I won’t be joining the Great Eastern Women Run this year…cause I missed the early bird rate and totally don’t feel like paying $46 for the race..
but nvm! Self-discipline instead! haha I hope I can persist my weekend workout long enough. Healthy lifestyle needs to begin real soon~~
There should be a rollerblading session coming up next next sunday ya?!
EVERYONE! Northpoint has extended and now we’ve got Pastamania! Manhatten Fish Market! Seoul Garden! Breeks! and many more F&B outlets!
BETTER FOOD, MORE FATS!
BUT! Instead of satisfying my palate at the abovementioned outlets, I had my dinner at the Eighteen Chefs located at Yishun GV.
Okay, then with the ample time after the dinner, we managed to catch the long-awaited movie (this is only applicable to MR. GVM) “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra”.
I know we are pretty SLOW. But after watching it, it doesn’t really matter to me. I personally feel that we could have just given it a MISS. Not that I totally dislike the movie, I think that it is value for money to watch such costly Hollywood effects. BUT NOTE: I MEAN ONLY THE EFFECTS.
Sorry to say, the plot stinks upside down!
Perhaps, you could be questioning my ability of understanding, because I couldn’t understand 90% of the plot! Or rather, I don’t think it seemed logical! Too much Hollywood stereotypes and discrimination that I can’t stand.
Below is the list of my grudges to justify why the flick stinks:
It’s kinda late, that’s why I shall stop whining. But of course, movies are meant for entertainment right! So why bother so much? It’s just that I can’t take it when these Hollywood productions treat us like idiots. Anyway! Don’t take it too seriously, you can still go to take a look at their advanced film technologies! And the above is just my perspective and comments to provide you with an alternate entertainment. HEHE!
Off to bed. NIGHTS!
3rd celebration this month! Intended to go Equinox, but it seemed like the food review of that restaurant wasn’t quite positive. So we ended up at the Lotus Grill Restaurant in Clarke Quay. Dining ON the Singapore River on a JUNK! Fun experience! HEH~
A simple celebration afterall! Last but not least, Happy 1 year anniversary Mr. GVM! =)
或许我对麦克杰克逊的感触没有那么深。。
一个国际巨星，一生难忘的传奇。
他的音。影。对我而言，也只不过是他逝世之后的昙花一现。
而文英阿姨。
平凡，爱在节目上唠叨的噢巴桑。
不是最抢风头的A咖。
但是，她那喷饭的国语和亲切的阿妈笑容却历历在目。
或许没有别人能像她把“苹果”念成“苹ge3”似的令人拍案叫绝。
一个在台湾综艺界家喻户晓的人物。。。离开了。
留下的是怀念阿姨时的快乐笑容。
一路好走。
The long weekend is over! I ended it off with a trip to Malacca and was back only yesterday afternoon. It’s been a few years since I’ve last stepped foot in Malacca. In fact, the trip was quite impromptu and we drove in without booking any hotel.
The haze in Malaysia was horrible! The nice scenery along the road trip and even the sunlight was totally blocked!
Obviously,the first thing we did was to book a hotel room!
We ended up in Mahkota Hotel. To be precise, the rooms are more like apartments rather than hotel rooms. We’ve got ourselves an apartment with 1 living room, 1 balcony and 2 bedrooms with toilets attached
If you ask me, I would honestly think that it’s not a really good experience for me because it seemed like their housekeeping were not doing their job (Or perhaps I’m just comparing it with the Five-stars Berjaya Times Square hotel which I’ve stayed in KL!). And it was super inconvenient, there was simply no traffic light for us to cross to the other street. We have to JAYWALK around super smelly drains. Seemed like the traffic in Malacca is so pedestrian-unfriendly!
The floor in the apartment has got some unknown stains that totally turned me off..and this is just PART of the stains
As the oldest capital city in the state of Malaysia with the long remarkable history of European colonization, it is definitely a MUST for tourists to visit its cultural heritage of historical buildings and monuments.
They sort of reminded me of our Sentosa Fort Siloso. Of course our cannon display is bigger. hehe~
And the famous not-to-be-missed Christ Church, Melaka
Other attractions surrounding Christ Church, Melaka
Their rickshaws are so much more havoc than ours! haha Heavily decorated with bombarding techno music lor!
Besides the cultural heritage, shopping centres are indispensable assets for any tourist attraction. There are quite a number of MEGA MALLS, namely JUSCO, Mahkota Parade, and etc, to let you shop till you drop! But honestly, the sales weren’t that much enticing because the prices are almost similar to that in Singapore.
Is it that all hotels’ breakfast buffet in Malaysia are the same? Exactly like that one I had in KL!
We didn’t explore much because we had to return to Singapore earlier ‘cause I had to rush back for my buddies’ birthday and most importantly to avoid the crazy traffic jams at night as well.
So after we checked out from the hotel on Monday morning, we headed to Jonker Walk before ending off our Malacca getaway.
Jonker Walk (a.k.a. 鸡场街文化坊). The street that is famous for its antique goods. It’s like our Chinatown with a long stretch of shop houses selling various souvenirs, antiques, collectibles and etc.
A nice place for photography as well
Check out the Geographer’s Cafe in Jonker Walk… It was the cafe that Sammi Cheng and Richie Ren Xian Qi filmed
夏日的麼麼茶 (Summer Holiday)
Last but not least, it is also a MUST to try out the local delights such as the famous Malacca’s Chin-Cha-Lok chilli and the Chicken Rice Balls!
There are so many Chicken Rice Ball stalls there…But I think this one should be the more famous one.
BUT!!! We went to try the other stall located further down…HOE KEE or something. Totally NOT NICE. The chicken meat machiam from some old chicken lor. I bite until jaw also SORE and the chicken rice balls..just don’t have that kind of fragrance that chicken rice should have. =(
So next time should try the one above instead.
In the nutshell, Malacca is about FOOD, SHOP, CULTURE AND EXPERIENCE!
There will be another long weekend in September, what’s next?!!! MACAU? HONG KONG? OR TAIPEI?
Today is Mr. GVM’s big day but his “kind” company is unwilling to approve his off/leave. So I had to have my dinner at home while he worked till 8pm.
What’s for dinner? CRABS!
Then headed down to Silversea to pick up the Birthday Boy and drove down to Marina @ Keppel Bay. I’ve not been there before and heard that it seems to be a very very romantic and conducive place for the couples.
Nice structures that lit up beautifully at night
Besides eating and drinking, most of the times…we were camwhoring~ hehe~
On the whole, the experience at Marina @ Keppel Bay was quite okay! Maybe should try some other restaurants next time…It was relatively quiet compared to Clarke Quay or Dempsey Hill. The car park only $3/entry and quite a lot of parking lots as well!
Last but not least, Happy Birthday Mr. GVM! 1 year older liao!!!
