Dare 2 Dream


When I saw the header of this.... I was excited. But the excitement died when I read the terms and conditions... I'm no longer classified as a YOUTH.... argh~!

Anyway, to all the seriously youthful youths out there, you may want to take part in this. Or spread the word.

Busy like a bee

Here comes the busy bee!

Project deadlines are getting shorter for the modules. Tests are frequent. Training for freelance trainer job coming up. Taking short courses for my new job transfer. I have 3 'mini exams' to clear within a span of 3 weeks. And I still want to find time to do sports.

Fighting~!

Sms

There is this thing about me, that I hate to reply sms and that I prefer phone calls anytime. Especially when it does not take just 1 sms exchange to finish what I'm suppose to say. This thing about me comes about because often I realised sms do not convey what I really meant. The words that I keyed into the phone could be misinterpreted by the other party. And that's frustrating. Plus the fact that I put myself into a difficult situation by getting a touch-screen phone, it doesn't help.

I'm not saying that sms is pointless. It is good when you need to make an announcement to the whole world. Technology is meant to facilitate and make things convenient. It does not replace the more humanistic side of communication.
I am losing the touch.... I ought to make use of my phone and call my friends more often. What's the use of it when I subscribe to such high volume phone plan and not making the best of it right?

BFF










BFF = best friends forever

The term does sound a bit childish, but yet how many of us could really have BFF?
There would be times when friends start to drift apart due to the different lifestyles, work and family. But what keeps the friends together is the friendship that is build over the years.

Even though we don't spend as much time together as we like to, I appreciate the fact that friends like these still keep in touch, and we're able to witness how each of us changed and grown over the years. I look forward to the day when I see their kids grown bigger and start calling me 'Auntie'.

Where can i find the best congee in Singapore?

image from http://preparednesspro.wordpress.comYears back, Chinatown's 长城粥 was the best. But now, the standard has dropped so much that it crashed. The Chinese nationals who are cooking them now really did not do it up to the previous owner's standard.

Can someone tell me? Where else could I eat nice congee in Singapore?

Congee maybe a really simple dish... but its a comfort food for me. Its the kind of food that I like to eat when I'm not feeling well, when I feel upset, and when I feel lonely.

I miss my grandpa's congee...

Insa-dong, Seoul

That's the street of Insa-dong in Seoul. I was there just before the winter season, so the colour of the leaves on the trees were beautiful. They were either yellow or red, just like the romantic scenery we always see in Korean dramas.

Insa-dong is the place to experience the traditional culture of Korea. The streets are filled with art galleries, traditional craft stores, antique art dealers and traditional tea houses and restaurants.

If only Singapore has its own 'art street'.
