Rude Hawker

Just been abused by a rude hawker last Sunday. Went to Clementi hawker center for breakfast. wanted to buy fried carrot cake. There was no one there in the queue. I went to approach the hawker who was busy cooking... he didnt even bother to entertain me at all after standing there for a while. When he finally saw me, he hushed me to his assistance who has all along been facing her back to everyone. Before I could place my order, she told me off in a rude vocal: "We got many orders, need to wait at least 15 minutes!" Then she turned her back to me again without checking whether I mind the wait.

What a rude hawker! The store number is #01-42 and they sell Fried Kway Teow, Fried Oyster and Carrot Cake. Dont go there!! (will try to upload the pic i took of the store front soon)

lucky drew me

wow.. I've not been really lucky with lucky draws.. but today I won a 8GB thumbdrive!

Took part in a Safety Crossword Puzzle quiz.. we got over 10 of us from my firm participating... I got the 10th prize while another colleague got the 5th prize, a 2GB MP3 player.. Happy with my thumbdrive cos it was sold out when I tried to buy it at the IT fair earlier this month...

happy for the simpliest reasons. hehe..

healthy living.. it's all about discipline

Recently, i've been hit by the healthy living bug... well, not yet a health freak, but starting to take notice of things around me.

I've been starting to abstain from oily unhealthy food as much as i can, removing the fat underneath the duck skin etc.. then again, i just cant bear not to eat the skin.. haha.

I've also changed my work out routine... instead of weights focused, I'm more cardio inclined now. Running on the treadmill at least once a week, plus 1 yoga session a week, with reduced weights work out from 3 times a week to just once now. Maybe i'll get fitter with lesser body fat? :P

my 2009 1st quarter creations

made 4 cakes of 2 flavours...

1st: cheese cream sponge cake with fruits. Same flavours but 3 different designs

2nd: chocolate sponge cake with chocolate creams and berries. Gonna make another one with exactly same flavour but different design soon!

fortunate traveller me

It just dawned to me that I've actually travelled to so many places even before hitting 30 years old, over 100 various towns and cities world wide!! So fortunate am I that I've even travelled to more Chinese cities than my Chinese friends, and more Indian cities than my Indian friends. I might have even visited more Malaysian cities and towns than my Malaysian friends! I remember once when I was studying in Australia when my local OZ fren told me he's never been to so many places compared to me downunder.

Singaporeans are such frequent flyers that sometimes we don't realise how fortunate we are. Even in times of recession the NATAS fair still is doing so well! We just need to travel to another country!! I guess this addiction is understandable. I'm also one addict myself... based on the targets I set myself last year to visit at least 4 places I've never visited. I've done that with Malacca, London, Helsinki, Espoo and Chiang Mai. This year can't be that ambitious.. maybe 2 unvisited destinations? :P Planning a potential of 4 overseas trips this year.. wosh! sounds a lot.. but mainly short trips... Shall have a big one early next year during CNY? fingers crossed.
