Food and Novels
It's been weeks since I last blogged. As usual, been eating alot here and there. Below pic - "Yuan yang" Steamboat at Bugis with DD and his colls.
Left side was chicken soup while the other side is spicy soup. Not too bad but I think we didn't really eat alot. Somehow I think the food these days are kinda overpriced. Simple and cheap ingredients like veggies, hotdogs and meats but they can charge you for way more than that.

Yest, we went back to Bugis again. This time for Nonya buffet. It's at this small little cafe/restaurant called 'Chilli Padi'. It's quite popular apparently. We called to book on Wed and managed to get the last table. How lucky!
Colorful Nonya kuehs. I actually took pics of some other food like Laksa, Assam etc but the pics didn't turn out nice. This is the nicest pic of them all so I am posting this only. Anyway, I think that the selction of food is very little so you aren't missing out much. It's $16 per pax (same as steamboat above). Again, I dun feel that it is very worth it as those food could be easily bought at hawker stores. DD argued that you seldom can get these food all nicely laid in front of you. Hmmm... Not really my type of food, just trying out for fun. Haha... Am craving for some Jap food now. Yummy Salmon :p
Saw these Mango advertisements on the train. They were plastered all over the cabins. How nice! I love Pink and Mango. Together, they make a great combi! Haha... They will definitely perk up my mornings if I manage to catch one of these Mango trains to work :)
Ever read this book? I have heard about it some time ago, either through word-of-mouth or on radio or something. Never get my hands on the book BUT I got to meet the authors Bill and Pam Farrel in person. My co invited them to give us a lunchtime talk. So there we were, munching on food specially catered in for us while listening to Bill and Pam. They are such a cute couple, been married for 10 over years and still very loving. Anyway, their book is about communication between a couple. Men are like Waffles because they are always in boxes. They can only be in 1 box at any single time cos they cannot multi-task. Women are like spaghetti as they are somewhat long-winded and like to take you on a journey (i.e. you should give women time and listen to all they have to say). Basically, it teaches us how to bring out effective communication between the 2 different genders. Seeing Bill and Pam in real life is good as they are able to bring out really personal experiences of themselves. Hope my co will organise more talks like this!
My manager lent me this book on Mon. Last watched the movie - Confessions of a Shoppaholic. Now, this is about an air hostess or if you would like to call it - stewardess. It's a funny, no-brainer, chick-flick book. I finished it in 2 to 3 days, my manager was so surprised that I'm a speed reader. Haha... If I like a book, it will be hard for me to put it down. Enjoyed reading the book. It's an outlet for me to chill and relax after work.
JPM corporate run coming up next! 5.6km... Cheer for me!
