Escargot and Katsu Set at Ma Maison at Central. Quaint Japanese-French Restaurant. Difficult to find. but great atmosphere! Darkly lit, pretty good service. Real Japanese waitresses, real Japanese customers. Got Japanese feel! and great "Japanese" company too!
Two sinful dark chocolate cakes at Canele at Robertson Quay. Cold air conditioner, Warm conversations. To die for desserts. But it was WAY too much! Just get one to share with your friends! Dessert is something your stomach will always make room for. But dessert is something better under-eaten than over-.
My usual: yu2 pian4 mi3 fen4 at Holland Village. I miss the fish soup at the Hong Kong restaurant...
Apple crumble at Munchie Monkeys! Dessert is always something I enjoy! especially now that I dun have that obligation to watch my diet anymore! whahahaha!
Healthy dinner to offset the apple crumble! I think its a shot well taken by my best friend, who's always got a good eye for the visual.
Agedashi Tofu at Ministry of Food! recommended by Felix-san.
the food was pretty good. decent prices. oh, one thing i was not too satisfied about was the sashimi salad. for 1 pax, you get TWO measly slices at a grand cost of $3.50. oh, and the old man diagonally across me who was try to listen to our conversations. I love the free flow green tea and the desserts though! woot!
Eat until always wanna sleep! im perpetually feeling tired especially with the rainy weather these days!
Wrapping up a little project I started on. Actually i abandoned it. cos... why? no time.
I got to stop horsing around! and do my HT!
Im always joking now that HT (Honours Thesis) is my new lover, who demands my time the moment i wake up to the moment I sleep. HT always fills my mind, makes me worried, gets me scared, and stresses me out. I have to get through this. by next monday, Im ditching HT. and moving on to a new lover who is going to be called "Everything else!"
Luckily, I got a few people more to thank who has been giving me soooo much encouragement. Jeff has been stressing me out with "So how's your thesis?" so im not going to thank him. haha!
I am going to thank felix-san, my di, small bird, my best friend, RL, Clay and especially echt! For the last week, they have been giving me so much encouragement and listening to me whine and express my worries and my cowardice to tackle the issues most urgent.
I leave you all now, with a beautiful, inspirational poem who accompanies me during my struggles and rough endeavours, and I hope you all too, will strive hard.
Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
