NiuZeXui

If this title makes no sense to you, fear not.. This is actually name of the place I went lunch with my cousin today. It's actually pronounced as "Niu-Che-Shui" in Mandarin, which means 'Cow-Car-Water', translating literally. Of course it doesn't make much sense to most of us why the name, but nevertheless there is another place in Singapore, near the Chinatown area that bears the same name.


Anyway, back to lunch. It's the first time going to this place for me, so it took awhile to find this place. The place is still new, and many of the stores are not operational yet, but if this place takes off, then this would be THE place to be.

Some of the bigger names there are Starbucks and Big Apple Donut. Almost wanted to have doughnut for lunch.. We ended up at this small cafe called Ka Fei Tiam, which means Coffee Shop. Verdict of food and drinks: so-so.. value for $? Ok-lah..



Will go there again next time to explore other makan places. Watch this space..

Collector's Item

We were talking about liquor collection, and mum mentioned she has a bottle of hennesy 30 years old! 30 years?! No joke.. Apparently this is now a collector's item, as this was one of the earlier batches of hennesy produced (according to mum).


The bottle of Hennesy looks nice, and mum was jokingly saying that she wants to auction it off at Christie's. Don't you think it looks a bit like a bottle of soya sauce iso of Hennesy?

Wonder what might be the market value of this bottle of Hennesy? Can you "guesstimate"?

Mood: Silence is not always welcomed..

Me trying out photography shots

Haha. Inspriration struck last night so I experimented with the camera, and the results... ta da!



I know, I know.. don't quit my day job.. but I kinda like the photos..

Mood: Ulcers are killing me, and I am demotivated.. and stressed..

Latest Bridge Score

Hi all,

If you have been following my posts you would know that me and 3 of my close friends meet regularly to play the game of bridge. We are very professional players (by our standard, of course.. haha..), to what extent you may ask. Well, we respect the game and the playing cards so much that we automatically will wipe and clean the table before we place our sacred playing cards on the table. And we try very hard not to stain the cards, we always joke that it's lucky to be our playing cards as we take good care of the cards.

Anyway, as the title suggest, I am here to update the latest bridge score as we near the end of our 2nd "buku 555". Without further ado.. let me present to you the scorecard:

ST - 461

CM - 426

KB - 412

WY - 425

And in case you still have doubts or think that I was joking about the "buku 555", here is a photo of it.. hehe.. :-)

Mood: Headache because of the intense heat outside the office and the freezing temperature inside the office.

We Worry Too Much..

In last week's Sunday mass,
Pastor touched on the topic of human
beings worrying too much.




According to a survey, humans worry about:
40% of things which will never happen
30% of things which happened in the past
12% - I forgot about this one, sorry...
10% - health problems
8% real problems

So according to Pastor, if we can change our attitude and mindset, we would be worrying at least 70% less! Why worry about something which will never happen? Why worry about things which have already happened in the past? True indeed.. but I guess it's easier said than done. I am trying to remind myself not to worry as much, and take each day as it comes, but sometimes the 'what ifs' are too great for me to resist thinking about them.

Don't Worry, Be Happy?

Mood: Sleepy and bored..

No title yet

Haven't thought of a title for this one.

Basically I have a few moments to share, and thought I can quickly do some updates here.

My labs have all been completed! Hooray...! Definitely something to celebrate.. I can look forward to going home at a more reasonable hour now. I remember half way through the lab, we thought that going home at 10pm or 11pm was early. Crazy isn't it? Shows that humans can be "conditioned" to behave or think in a certain way.

No photos to show today because... you guessed it - The camera is not with me, and I blame my recent lack of new posts entirely to the absence of the camera, and the person holding onto the camera.

Alright, nothing much to update except that I will be travelling (for work) alot from June onwards. Looking forward to them!
