Hello, firstly, I must say I'm very happy for you in terms of the teacher thing.
I really feel SO much relief for you and I can almost see the heavy weight that you have been carrying for the past few months being lifted off your shoulders. I'm very glad.
Having said that, its time to get into action and lead a nice life again! :) Like what you said and saw in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" movie, don't leave time for regrets in life. Sometimes, it may be too late to even rectify it. So be happy! And always go and do what you always want to do such as jogging. Haha.
It's time to get fit and healthy too! It's not a chore I can assure you. Especially when I can do it with you. It will most certainly be fun and its a good way to spend time together. Also, when you do start your training at NIE, you will not huffing and breathing so hard when everyone is running/ training. I sincerely look forward to seeing a fitter and healthier you! Though you will never outrun me. Hahahahaha.
Is it really the last pack for you already? I hope so. Your cough is really worrying. So is your sugar levels. Sometimes its not necessary to eliminate those stuff from you life immediately. Cutting down is also good enough till you find the strength to give those things totally up.
Ok, wanna share with you some photos which you have not seen yet...
My birthday celebration!!
As you know, Apple and Charlene and Evon came over to my house. They bought me a cake from one of my favourite shop "Cedele". Apple and Charlene waited so long for me to come to the door that the middle candle was going to disappear. So it was really a funny sight. Haha. The cake was also became quite soft as its made from something like mousse but tasted a lot better than mousse.
This is me cutting my 1st cake of the day...
The hand in the background belongs to Apple.
Then later on at night, after my birthday dinner at Jack's Place with my family, we brought over my cake that my mother bought for me to Jason's house. We did so because they came over while we were gone and stuff a fat hong bao under our front door. So its like to thank them! And we brought over Dr. Loosen wine too. My parents prefer the more expensive Dr. Loosen still.
This is me blowing the light off the candles!
The cake was really very pretty. Each roses look as if it took a lot of skill to make and its not a mould thing. Its fresh cream too.
My lovely parents gave me this for my birthday...
So nice of them!! I just say for fun and they really buy it for me. Haha. Actually I heard they wanted to buy me a Rado watch at first but no nice design or also too expensive.
Of course, I had an enjoyable dinner with you at Tatsuya too! Thanks a lot of the treat! :) The Tatsuya entry is uploaded at the food blog. So you should check it out if you have time.
Chinese New Year
For this year, its a little bit more special because my mother's friend came over to teach me how to bake Pineapple tarts. It's really very nice! The batch that was made this year was delicious. You should try.
That's my mother's friend. I call her Aunty Jaroh. Everything is self made. Even the pineapple. She always jokes that she doesn't like to go out with my family because people will think she is the Indian maid. Haha. And you know what? She makes jokes about her own race too. So cute. Cause there was one batch which was over baked and was quite brown in colour. Then she says its for Indians to eat.
That night she brought us to Samy's Curry at Dempsey Road to eat. Ok la. Not too bad. I find their mutton meat quite nice but other than that, I still think the Yishun one has the best prawns and crabs. ;)
Reunion Dinner at Ming Kee
Lots of good food at Ming Kee, but I didn't take most of them cause it just looks exactly like what the dish is. But here's a picture of the Lobster Bee Hoon
The lobster meat was fresh, juicy and all but I still think their crab bee hoon wins hand down. The noodle used in the Lobster bee hoon is like the crispy kind. Those that need to soak with the gravy. I like it though.
I loved the dessert. Maybe because I rarely get to drink double boiled bird's nest soup.
It's quite a large serving for every one and there were so mch gingko nuts inside. Once, I tried to finish up all the gingko nuts first so that I can slowly enjoy the soup but I gave up after a while cos it never seems to end! And because our dinner is for 10 people and we only had 9 people who attended the dinner, I got to share the extra bowl with my dad! Yum yum!!
That night, Aunty Jaroh also passed us a steamed fruit cake for us to eat. She specially ordered from her friend to make for us. And I must say even though the fruit cake has no alcohol, it is really VERY good. Ok, I know you are not interested. Haha.
Ok, that's about all the photos I have. Gotta go for class now! I hate Thursdays! What a long day. 10 to 8pm!!!!!
But before I end, thanks for bringing me to Bernie's last night. Haha. Even though not very worth it, at least now I can say I've been there and don't really wanna go back there too unless someone treating. Haha.
I love you! Have a nice day!
