End of the month....

Alright, looks like its going to be the end of July, and I've got to say that I have really learnt alot this month. Most of them are pretty random but they are good lessons nonetheless. Hmm....lets see...

Working in an office is horrible...

Working in an office with a slack supervisor and a recreation club is the best thing ever...

Never play pool with a Chinaman...

Worse, never play ping pong with a Chinaman...

Even worse, never provoke the Chinaman when playing ping pong...(ouch!)

But, it is amazing how friendships can be made beyond the language barrier...

It is almost amazing how friendships can be broken or stressed with the wrong type of language...(or rather the wrong words)

I find out that I was not myself recently, because I even forget a friends birthday and it is not like me to forget someone's birthday because birthday is a very big thing for me....(sigh..)

I realise is not about when the birthday is, it's about the time that flew past without me caring...

It is a bad idea to emo while crossing a busy road...

It is also surprising that a car that is traveling at only 15km/h can do alot damage...

It is also a bad idea to try to self-medicate after your knee was slammed by car... :P

It is amazing that I still havent died with all the injuries I had thoroughout my entire lifetime...

Plus, colleagues agree that upon 10, I am a -2 when it comes to appearance...(oh well..)

I also realise that I can do so much if I focus....(but since when I focus on what I'm doing.. :P


But the most important lesson I learn is...how much I miss someone and how much I need that someone. But after all this time, not hearing from that person, I realise I was just being selfish and in a way, I was hurting her. I dont know why it took so long but after seeing her, I realise how happy she is when I am not part of her life. So all I can ask for is her forgiveness that I couldn't see things clearer. It's not about what I want, but it's about what she needs and what makes her happy. He's a lucky guy. Like I always say, some guys have all the luck. The worse part is that she probably won't get to see this unless someone shows it to her. I guess, it's just bad timing, maybe another time, another place, another life....
Sweet dreams....

Gajah Makan: Golden Nur @ Golden Shoe @ Market St, Raffles Place...






It's been awhile since I have updated this blog with any of my section. So here's one for the food lovers.

In the heart of Raffles Place, there is a not so secret place where, the workers in the area line up for miles(ok, exaggeration) to queue up for their turn to order their lunch even though it may take half their lunch time. However, what not so many people know is that when office hours are up, not all the stores are close. There is one that tends to stand out from the crowd. Anyway, this place is worth mentioning because the mee gorend is really one of the best I ever tasted and this is coming from a guy who eats mee goreng almost everywhere in Singapore and even in Malaysia and this is really one of the most flavourful Mee Goreng I have ever tasted. Most Mee Goreng I tasted are not bad (actually there very horrible ones), they are just not good. This one u can really taste the seasoning in the noodles. Its ample to give you the taste of the meat but its not too much that it makes it too salty. In addition, the Mee Goreng is really fried properly so the noodles do not taste oily. All in all, this a good place to stop buy if in the town area that is filled with restaurants and fast food. This is a good stop if one wants to enquire the taste of simple humble food.

Look at how empty the place is after hours...
