swiss chocolate mousse at the tarven -$8.00

haha... it did not work out... all those listed things to do and my attempt at a nice post in my journal on buses jus abt failed totally...



but im happy i dint bother to make them work out...



my last days of being absolutely idle at home. i managed to get that md of mine fixed, complete ffX and spend more time wif my friends, my brother and my mom. i suppose the first and last of those thing were the ones that really mattered.

and im glad i dint go rushing to do lots, since being stressed was the last thing i wanted to be.



also, there hav been alot happening in my head this few week past. ive changed my mind on many things, and whilst im not at all comfotable wif these changes i hav/wanna make i think its necessary... at least dire to me.



prolly speak differently now, scary.



now enlisted in to ns, working at central manpower base, im starting to clean up my life... no more late nights - will get rid of those dark eye rings. no more wakeing at 2pm gotta wake at 6am, actually read the bible in the mornings now... im working, meeting lottsa pple.

on the whole, the section im placed in and pple im placed wif are pleasent. i wld like to say that ive been praying abt this big change in my life and surely my God did not let me down. cld hav said it was luck that got me this far, but crediting luck wld be idiotic and rediculas after wat ive seen/experienced.



well, work can never beat idleing on my ps2, but not im in position for greater stuff, and much more.

hav u watched the passion? hope u see Jesus.

wild mushroom soup -$18.00

well its abt time i wrote something. i suppose i really feel like complaining abt drone city but i will refrain!



my main mode of transport used to be the trains when i was still schooling. it was a real pain to ride in this tube fill wif anxious sweaty commuters rushing off to work in the mornings... and depressing to be coming back wif tired stinking shoppers, blue collar workers and other misc stinky pple - out of which, i cld swear, emitted a cloudy haze arnd them invisible to the naked eye. like a mirage, light bends thro these fields... yuck.

but recently ive been using buses. 97 to church nad 176 to work. comparatively it is a joy o be riding the bus... one get to sleep, eat, drink and stare out the huge windows.



well bus rides are funner. i cant wait to bring a camera to the bus stops.

chicken drumstick, rice and sauced vegatable -$3.50

its been three yrs since the uncle, who sells chicken rice, set up his stall a few blocks from my house.



for the last three yrs ive been patroniseing his stall regulary... after all when ive nothing better on the menu i usually settle for chicken rice...

today on one of my regular runs down for lunch, this chicken uncle told me that he will hav to close down his store due to bad busines as a cause of recent happenings. i guess all that hype abt bird flu and health matters took its toll on chicken businesses in singapore.





sidenote: my lecturer who jus gone to shanghai said that the pple of china still continue their regular consumption of chicken. kfc isnt slacking in business and restuarnts dont leave out chicken in their menu... so seriously the bird flu is dangerous but also given in to too much hype.





well it will be weird to hav no chicken rice stall to go to in the afternoons... and being a regular customer has ts perks too... better portions, more rice and discounts on every purchase. kinda hard to accept something that ive taken for granted to stick arnd for the next five yrs wld so suddenly be removed.



i will miss the chicken rice stall... the smiling uncle... his weird wife who always glares at pple... the fact that if im too lazy to cook or go out of lunch i cld jus settle for chicken rice... and most of all, that they were there for the duration of my poly yrs (which i love the most).

its isnt an important part of my life... its is however, a very big part of my everyday routine.



funny... all things good and bad has its time frame of exisitence. the end of this stall reminds me that i too wld be stepping into a new phase of my life. i can only think for to day cos the future is a constant nagger and the past is too heavy a burden to bear.



i only hav jesus to trust.

pear flambee, serves 2 at The Tarven -$24.00

the is safety in the council of friends... how true...



in the recent happenings ive been very stressed... and pressured... kinda put me in touchy mode.

design and its issues hav always been close to heart. and not jus close to heart, also very misunderstood.

i was gonna blow my top... and go all out ona kamakazi rush to chide all liveing beings that made my life as a designer hell...



pukingcoldblood.



but after talking to a few pple... and lastly my care grp leader... i realised that being angry at my pple who dont noe anyhthing abt design really isnt gonna help my future.



im convinced that ignorance prevails among the larger part of non-designers.



to most, designers speak greek (or at least it has become a popular belief). besides, it wld also prolly result in more misunderstanding amongst designer and non-desginer. nobody wld truly understand a designer's pain. but in hope, they can see a difference in good work and crap. so i guess its really up to my God to change their minds; and im gonna stick arnd to see it happen, playing the low key.



all in all im glad that i finally hav a release in pressure. now i noe wat to do... its a risk but i feel a peace that comes wif the decision. ya... aii. between vengence and hope i choose the latter.



for better tmrs.
