the past one month, been in and out of hospital visiting my mum, as i usually will go after work, thus by the time i reach hospital, i usually am famished. just the other day, on the way home from hospital, passed by East Point (next to Simei MRT), and saw that they have this "Take 5" restaurant by Old Chang Kee. As i was really hungry, and the posters of the food looks good, i went in to try the food. ( i thought the price was reasonable too).
The food that caught my attention. Curry Chicken with Loaf. The curry chicken did not use Coconut Milk! so healthy! haha a set of that with drinks, only cost $5.
Beef Stew with Loaf / Rice. also $5 with drinks.
Sambal Fish with Rice. dun really look tempting to me though....
Curry Noodle. it thought the chicken in the pic looks stale though.... but think i will try this next time.
Nasi Lemak.
nowadays when ever i pass by the place, i will just pop in and order my fav. Curry Chicken with Loaf. i though the curry was really tasty! but be warned. the curry is very spicy. :P they actually will lightly toast the bread too. but not too toasted that it becomes all crunchy. i took this pic when i went to Tan Tok Seng hospital for my own medical appointment yesterday.
i think different shop selling at different price. the above poster's price are of Simei East Point's price. the one in Novena Square, sells the set at $5.90. both set comes with a drink (any canned drinks). but as you can see from the pic above, the one i had comes with additional bowl of curry. BUT not all outlets gives you the additional curry. the one in Simei DID NOT come with it.
The curry uses chicken tighs and potatos. the meat is cooked till quite tender.
was too engrossed with work / mahjong / date / hospital runs / handling my own things lately, that i have not been checking blog of some of my friends. plus i was down with flu and fever these 2 days, so i took medication early today and fall asleep. woke up in the middle of the night feeling restless, so was posting and reading some of my friend's blog, and came to realise that some of my friends, namely: Asura, Buaya and Ah Bao are having some problems with their life. Namely due to "friend's" issues.
Friends meant to disappoint you sometimes.. Friends meant to say the harshest things to you sometimes... Friends meant to give you a slap back to reality at times... Friends meant to accept you for who you are.... Friends meant to understand what type of a person you are... Friends are people whom you wanna share your joy and sorrow... Friends are people whom you worry about they are in trouble... Friends need not meet up everyday... Friends need not say nice things to you daily... Friends understand what you need... Friends do not judge you...
Ah Bao: Even though your thought process are somehow different from other people, and that you are not really expressive in a way, but your sincerity never fails to touch me. sometimes its not about what you do that counts, its your intention that matters. and ya, i do like chatting with you. but you gotta get me at the right time :P and... ya, give ppl some "reaction times" after posting a question, before assuming that the other party is not interested in toking to you, cos they take a tad longer to answer your question ma... :) you are adorable in your own way.like i said, you can't please all, don't try to change yourself to fit into the crowd. my style is always to just be who you are, and those who truely accept you for who you are, will naturally regard you as a friend.
Buaya: you worry to much. sometimes friends cannot be so calculative wan. people did not jio you for dinner or whatever, mostly is because they didn't know you free a not. (you know your routine with your boi wan...) so i think we have got used to the idea that when you are free, you will let us know, and you will come join in any gatherings. even though i seldom sms / call you, but you do know that i will always be there in times of need. (read: the diahorrea see doc inccident :P) considering my "pattern".... you think if its other people.. i will bother ah? LOL even though that me myself seldom participate in most gatherings, but at the end of the day, i know that i can always count on NFB, OB, Taka, Asu and yourself, if i am in any trouble. that always gives me a piece of mind.... :)
Asu: i do not know what happened, as the blog entree was too short... but then i figured that you must have been really disappointed to have come to that decision. like i always tell you, the higher the expectations, the more painful the fall. spend some times to get over certain things and re-emerge as a new man. life goes on. do not brood over things for an extended period of time. Even though we have very different opinions on most of the things, but do give me a buzz if you need to let it out.. *hugs*
also would like to thank the following...
NFB -- enough have been said about this fabulous, humourous guy. before others start to think i am hard selling him. hehehe
Taka -- always being there for me.
WonderBoy -- due to his "special" relationship with taka nowadays, he sorta became this person whom i have been disturbing recently. haha
OB -- like you always said. "i dun judge, i'm pro-choice!" haha and i seriously love you to death for that. haha
Leona -- not from BW, but he had been my close bimbo friend like... FOREVER. hehe Muaks
Although i seldom meet up with you guys, but you all are always in my mind. :) below is a song for all of you. hope everything is well with you all. Best Wishes!
The perks of being a flexi, is actually that you do not need to worry about the "role" of the person that you are interested in. to quote what i said during BW 2nd anniversary... "Top also can, Btm also can..." :P
someone once shared with me that he was hoping that i can be a bit more feminine in bed. i was like "Er....???", in my context, be it if i'm the Top or Btm, i would make it a point not to be feminine in any way. This is also something that i'm proud of. however, this guy that i was with.... he likes his guys to be marcho in public.... he cannot stand being with a feminine guy in public..... but yet, he likes his "Marcho guy" to be actually feminine in bed.... ya contridicting i know. this is something till today, i could never understand. haha But because he was very cute.... so erm. :P yeah... i've faked a damn feminine orgasm, shrieking like a women :P but after that experience many years ago, i can only say, i most certainly do not enjoy any moment of it.
There was also this other guy.... whom, have the fetish of being F by a cross dresser. Met over the internet, went over to his house, somewhere during the foreplay, he requested for me to put on make up, and from his cupboard, he brought out this bra and stockings (he actually cut a hole in the stocking, that will expose your erected dick!!) and request for me to F him in those things. i was stunned to the core. as he was a bi, and he looked perfectly "Normal" to me. i didn't know how to react! but definately, it was a turn off for me. i stared at the cosmetics for a while, and said to him. "Sorry, i cannot do it". and even though he gave in and told me to continue to what i was doing to him (Minus the stocking and makeup), i was totally turned off and couldn;t get it UP anymore. so i left the place, after he finished jerking himself off, while blowing my (soft) dick.
from my previous postings, i guess many must have known that i simply cannot stand any form of actions / speech / reactions that will associate the guy of having feminine traits. ya it turns me off. many times when i F someone, and he began moaning and screeching like a gal, i will lose my hard on. its like all of a sudden, i no longer have the urge to continue the "in out" motion. i mean, if during the foreplay and intercourse, and you already screech like a gal, i certainly do not anticipate your "reactions" when you cums....
There is actually a very thin line of being soft spoken and being feminine. i am okie with having feminine friends, but i definately will not end up in bed, nor a relationship with a feminine guy.
once discussed this with someone i dated before, and i was questioning... why is it that he looks perfectly normal, very manly, decisive when he was with everyone else, but when it comes to being with me, he all of a sudden turned into this "housewife". his tone of voice turns very soft, actions became very gentle, and sometimes talks in a way which erm... reminds me of a gal.
according to him. He described the situation to be something like a weighing scale. he thought that i look very cold, manly and dominant when with him, thus it was just his natural reaction to turns soft when around me. he also could not fully explained why this happens.
i most certainly do not need the guy i bed / sex / date to be so stern that he is keeping his eyebrow frowned every minute of the day, but i do not like him to be associated with the idea of being feminine in any way....
I caught the show Mama Mia earlier this evening at The Cathey. must admit that i watch the show cos of the free ticket, and also because of Meryl Streep.
Its not a normal movie you see everyday. its a Musical Movie. something like Chicago. meaning.... you see the actors act a bit, suddenly breaks into a dance/singing routine.... then continue to act again. haha some of the singing scenes are a bit cheezy.
Kindda refreshing to see Meryl Streep acting in a movie as such. from start till end, her hair was like in a mess! haha her voice is quite good too. i mean, all the actors in the show sang the songs.
Halfway through the show, i remember i commented... "This show majiam a tribute for all the aunties and uncles. haha seeing all the aunties and uncles singing and dancing in the show." haha....
All the songs used in the movie were songs originally by ABBA. even if you are not from that era, but you would have at least heard some of the famous songs before. overall, i quite enjoy the songs.
Surprise of the day: Pierce Boston looks so Yandao~ (read: Yummy) haha but its obvious he cannot sing :P
i say... watch the show with not much expectations, and you shall enjoy it. its a comedy, with some very cheesy plots. but many people in the "full house" cinema seems to be laughing quite a bit.
Mama Mia Trailer :
Compilation of the best songs from the movie:
My theory: Any show with Meryl Streep, is definately a good show.
Is this her best performance? nope, but it sure is a enjoyable role for her i guess. but i think the ultimate performance by Meryl Streep is still "Miranda Priestly" from DEVIL WEARS PRADA. Her role in the movie totally caught my attention. her interpretation of the charactor, made me admire her. prior to that, i dun even know who is she. haha if you had not watched Devil Wears Prada yet... i recommend you to quickily go get the DVD~
What if one day, a very good friend of yours, ask you out to meet his new BF, upon meeting, you realised that this new BF of his.... was someone whom you dated many years ago?
i think these scenerio happened to many of you guys out there before. but to complicate things a little.. upon meeting you again, this "BF" tried to rekindle the flame with you. Sending you sms, giving you late night calls blah blah blah... all these behind your frien's back.
Though you showed no interest at all, but he just won't give up.
Considering that you changed your handphone numbers many years back to avoid him. so i think there must be some things about him that totally pissed you off, though you can no longer remember. Minus the fact that he is now the bf of your good friend.
When you asked him, "Why are you even attached with X if you cannot get over me, like you claimed?"
He answered: "X is just a passing phase. He is not The One. but i am very sure that you are..."
hmmmmm...... would you:
A) Tell your fren about these.
B) Keep quiet.
Seems like, either option you choose, the only one to get hurt in the end will be your friend. at the end of the day, your friend seems to be receiving the after effect, of a mistake you made many years back.
When you tried to find out what type of a person your friend perceive this "BF". would it shock you that, according to your friend, he is someone who is Sensitive, very Caring etc. he make it sounds like he is this PERFECT guy....
In a relationship, people's conception of an Active = Someone who takes charge, and Passive = Someone who is a follower.
under general circumstances, most people will relate an Active to be a Top and a Passive to be a bottom. So are you a passive or active?
answer the below questions to find out.
1) When out with a partner, are you the one who decides where to go / what to do? A) Yes, he waits for me to decide everytime B) No, he decides all and i'll follow C) depends, we discuss and conclude together
2) When out for a movie, who is usually the one who decides the show to watch? A) You B) Him C) not sure, as we usually decide on the show together.
3) When lying around on a bed, A) i like to lay on his chest and feels his warmth. B) i like to hug him on my chest and smell his hair. C) Neither, i like to lie on the pillow Face to Face.
4) When having sexual fantasy of your partner, A) I always imagine myself being fucked brutally by him. B) I always imagine myself fucking him, with him moaning like crazy. C) nah.. i don't imagine us doing anal.
5) When holding hands, walking side by side. A) His hands are always overlaying on top of mine B) My hands are always overlaying on top of his. C) Either, depends on who is walking in front at point of time.
6) When watching movie, you most feel like... A) Resting my head on his shoulders. B) Let him rest his head on your shoulders C) depends on situation.
If your answers are majority A (3 answers or more) you are most likely a Passive.
If your answers are majority B ( 3 Answers or more) you are most likely an Active.
If your answers are evently mixed (all 6 answers). you are mostly likely a Flexi.
The above are just a general guideline. however what i wanna bring out is that.... try to do this mental test with every NEW relationship. do not use the experience of the past relationship as a gauge.
When you are an Active in a past relationship, doesn't means that you are not a Passive in current relationships. It reallly depends on the situation of you and your current partner.
The above is just an gauge for the emotional part of the relationship. i have seen Tops who look so sister! and Btms who looks so manly. i mean... just yesterday, i thought i saw an ultra "Metrosexual" (Read: Sister) guy in the streets. turns out, he is married with 2 kids!
someone was asking me the other day, since hospital is providing food, why is it that i still need to buy my mum dinner everyday?
well.. just wanna say that, its not an obligation for me to buy her dinner everyday. but then, i think of it as a need to ba. its always assuring to her that her son is doing well, so me and my eldest bro try to make it a point to appear on a daily basis... and more importantly...
i mean... just take a look at the hospital food... i think i will go crazy if i were to eat them everyday.... Horrible.
One day, A man's body have the below conversation with his heart.
Body: "If i fall sick, i can always count on doctors to cure me. But if you fall sick, who can heal you?"
Heart: "The only one who can heal me is myself."
Maybe its because of this theory, every individual will have a unique way of healing himself whenever he experiences heartache.
Some people drink, some people sings, some people shows anger, some people cry, some people laugh. some people have casual sex, some people confine in friends, some people goes travelling, some people goes for a jog.
The worst scenerio that seems to always happen, is that, one always overlooked the aching of the bleeding heart. Over time, when your heart starts to ache to a certain extend, it will one day stops functioning totally? and if so, is it possible to revive a heart that is long dead?
PS: nah... you think too much. this posting is not about me, just being a bit sentimental, that's all :P
Song Of The Day: Vonda Shepard - Baby, Don't You Break My Heart Slow
i have been in and out of hospital recently. nope i am perfectly fine. just that my mum is still in hospital. Despite visiting her on a daily basis. can't help but felt guilty the other day.
my mum is a TV addict. so whenever i'm there, i will carry her to a wheel chair, and just push her to the TV lounge to watch TV. especially her Taiwan show. however, usually she will urge for me to go home earlier. so whenever i was about to leave the place, i will have to push her back to her ward, carry her onto the bed, tuck her in and leave.
Yesterday, after doing the same thing, i asked her, then what you will be doing? Sleeping? she replied me that she is not tired.. so she will just laze on the bed for a while. there's nothing much she can do on a hospital bed anyway...
i was overcome by a sense of guilt. i mean... i know that in the afternoon and night time when i was not there, she is bed-bonded. there;s nothing for her to do, except listen to radio on her handphone. and stare into space...
Thus yesterday i called up my eldest bro, told him i intend to get a portable dvd player for my mum. ask him for lobang a not. and... he offered to sponser half! hehe so end up today, i got my mum a portable DVD player with screen.
brought along some hongkong serial drama for her too. can see that she is happy. i mean... at least when she is bored, she can now watch DVD in the hospital.
this is the player that i bought. nothing superb though. but as its for my mum, thus user friendly is my top piority.
i actually wanted to get the one with a built in TV tuner. but was informed that the TV quality will not be good, as its using antenna. i tested one set on the spot. and discovered that the screen quality is quite good. sound is superb too. and it only cost $169. it even has a USB port and a Memory card reader behind.
i bought this in AMK HUB NTUC. okie lar. as long as my mum is happy, i'm happy :)
There are moments in your life, when you feels that a certain person is important to you, thus you adopt a nickname for him/her. "Darlins", "Princess", "Ah Boi", "Meow Meow", "Old Man", "Ah Date" etc.
Nicknames are not always pleasant, but then again, when i got a nickname for someone, that mostly would means that, that person have a certain standings in my heart.
what are the nicknames that your lover used to call you?
some of the more common wans would be: "Dear" "Dar" "Luv"
i have dated quite a numbers of guys in my life. almost all have addressed me in a name that is new to me.
"Dear Dear" "DearHeart" "Dearie" "Baby" "Darlin" "Ham ham" <--- stands for handsome :P "Sweetie" and etc.
Nickname that someone used to call me quite frequently: "小宝贝", haha cheezy i know. but there's a distinct way he calls it that makes you feels that you really are his treasure, when he says it.
The one that left me deep impression: "PC". i remember that this guy usually will tok to his group of frens, and he will refer to me as "PC". so much so that all his frens thought that PC was my dialect name initials. so his frens refered to me as PC also. i think till now, after so many years, some of his frens still remember me as PC. Ran into one of his frens a few weeks back at Northpoint, and he still calls me PC. haha neither me nor him ever did explained what PC means actually. haha PC actually stands for Prince Charming. :P
so that's the 2 nicknames that people gives me that stuck a cord in my heart. :)
and... ya most of my close frens will know that i keep refering to someone as "Old Man". and many people had speculated about the age of "Old Man", which i never confirmed. haha okie. here's the shocking news. Old Man was only 38 years old then, when i started refering him to my frens as "old man". haha and ya... "Old Man" was the one who calls me "小宝贝". haha
Someone once told me, all along he thought that "Old Man" was this 50 plus year old married guy, whom i am living off his money. LOLLLL *in a way he's saying that i am a kept boi!* haha
So what nicknames have you given to people whom you have dated? :)
A 44 year old guy, working in an international company, have to attend a company dinner one night. as usual, drinking is required. as the night progress, he was absolutely drunk. he had no recollection of how he went home that night, or who sent him home.
The next morning, he woke up, to find himself in his Pyjamas, nicely tucked in his bed. When he got out of bed, he was trying to find the clothes he wore last night, but found them washed, pressed and nicely hung. when he pass by the dressing table, he found a note sticked on the mirror left by his wife:
"Morning my love, i have to go to work, breakfast is prepared and left on the table. come home early for dinner tonight, i will be cooking your favourite dishes tonight. Love You Always. PS: Don't worry about the coffee table"
Puzzled, he went to the dining room, to find his 12 year old son sitting on the dining table eating. and he asked:
Man: "Boy... what happened last night?"
Son: "You came home around 2 am, very drunk, knocked down mummy's favourite coffee table, shattering the glass top into pieces, then you puked onto the floor and all over yourself, and were talking at the top of your voice. Mummy was furious!"
The man got more puzzled and asked:"Then how come your mummy doesn't seem like she's angry ?"
He showed his son the note left by his wife...
Son: "Oh that! well.... you puked all over yourself, and mummy brought you to the toilet to clean you up, and when she was trying to take off your pants, you pushed her away and screamed at the top of your voice: 'Get your hands off me! I'm Married!'..."
Morale of the story: Price of the coffee table: $400, but Saying the right things at the exact right moment: PRICELESS....
the 3 sacred word that many couples have said, in some point, in their relationship. What is it about these 3 letter words that gives people stomach butterflies?
someone once told me that he was in need of such words to feel secure when a relationship.he seems to think that without the outbreak of these 3 words, a relationship never seems to be complete.
personally, when someone tells me that they like me, i usually will take them as "friends with possibility". The only time i will start to take them seriously, will only be the time when they tell me they love me.
not that i definately will accept anyone who tell me that they love me, but by hearing that they love me, it gives me the assurance that i require. it has assured that ,someone is fully aware of his feelings, and that he knows what he is doing.
although different people have different ways of expressing.
i once dated someone whose words are precious gold. wanting to hear "i love you", although is not impossible, but post dating for a few months, and i only heard it 2 times! when i casually bring it out to him... he was stunned. according to him.... he though that words are meaningless... and all these while, he have been trying this best to let his actions speak louder than words. and he asked me if i felt anything.
to tell the truth, yes i do... but like i said, i still need the assuring words to come out from someone's mouth to "Confirm" the signals that i had been receiving. (i'm shallow i know)
But i think those who knows me long enough, knows that... i'm a complicated person. i'll start to have doubts when relationship drags on for too long without a "i Love You". But hearing it a few times a day can get pretty irritating as well.
yes, i have also dated guys who are soooo in touch with their inner feelings that.... i hear them telling me every minutes that they love me. erm.. too much?!?! these are the times where i felt that the 3 sacred words are used too loosely.
advise to all: timing! say them once in a while, at the exact right moment. <--- Very crucial! though i must highlight that you very very seldom will hear me telling you that i love you. but then again, every man is built differently. and.. i really really really hates it... when after telling me that they love me, they asked "What about you?" i usually will only reply "Noted" (i'm selfish i know)
i guess many of you guys have at least once been onto the MRT train right? and i also expect most of you have taken a train, or alighted at Bugis MRT station.
below is a sign that you always see....
if you know how to speak cantonese...... please read the chinese wording in cantonese... Hongkie pronouce the words a "Mou Kat See" which in cantonese... literally means...... "No Guts!"
someone once told me:" I think i know you very long already". i dunno what is his defination, but to me, anything less then 3 months is definately not considered long.
There were times i ask my friends, how long have they been attached? and they will reply me "Wah sibeh long liao lor. 2 years!". and i will end up wondering... 2 years very long meh?
compared to another friend of mine, who have been attached for 9 years. Now THAT is long.
yet if i do not consider his 2 years relationship to be long, so does that means that i considered my friend to have a STR (Short Term Relationship) instead of a LTR (Long Term Relationship)?
There are also instances where you just know someone for a few days, and yet it felt like you have known him for years.
having said all these, is it really a must to classify that some relationship/ friendships you have to be long/short? does the duration length really matters?
Isn't the quality more important, compared to the duration?
Ever wondered what it will be like, if one day, by chance you ran into someone whom you used to date many years back? Someone whom you left, without telling him the exact reason then?
If for countless years, he had assume the reason why you left him then, was simply because you do not like him.... Should you tell him the real reason why you left him then?
Will memories of the past starts flooding your mind? all the sweet memories are worth keeping, but what will you do with some of the bad memories?
Would it be shocking to you that, him, after so many years, still harbours feelings for you?
But when he says he still loves you.... is he in love with the memory, of who are you, many years ago? is he still the same? Can you still be sure that he still will like you, the way he did many years back? Many things have happened in between the years...
people changed, circumstances changed, feelings changed.
When he says he still likes you, is he liking you for who you are now? or then? hmm.... something worth pondering...
last week there was a birthday pot luck at a friend's house. many people attended. so some will have to bring food for the occasion.
i'm practically a very lazy person. although i can cook, but i alway choose the easy way out on these type of functions " PACKET" haha i mean. with so many stalls around, why spend the time to cook? at the end of the day, the price spent might be similar, or even lower, and the food is readily cooked. haha
but as it was the birthday of a friend, i decided to go ahead and cook anyway. one of my speciality, Japanese Curry. this time round, i decided to pair it with Pasta. reason being simple, pasta can last longer without taste changing and also, its filling. :P
as i was not working on friday, i went down to AMK Hub to get all necessary ingredients. and had a lagi hard time carrying home. i know that there will be about 20 ppl present at the party, thus i tot i have to cook more. Meow Meow told me to cook more also, so he can Tar Pau home, as he loved japanese curry.
end up. on sat morning, i cook a very very big pot! haha i think many people were surprise by the size of the pot. hahaha
the good news is... no one kenna food poisoning after eating my curry, some told me that it taste quite good. i personally think that there were 2 regrets about my curry:
1) i should have added in more Radish. reviews said that the radish is tasty...
2) i should have deep fried the potatos first before throwing into the curry. which i didn;t do due to laziness, and the potatos broke into smaller pieces in the curry.
haha but overall the review was quite good. we even packet some back to meow's house. and later in the night post mahjong, we actually finished up all the curry. :)
haha i was trilled to see people enjoying the curry, but tot the process of cooking it is very tedious, so, like i said, for those who tasted the curry... hehehe remember the taste. cos that will be the ONLY time i will be cooking. hahah
heng my curry got better reviews compared to OB's infamous Bee Hoon.... *Phew* hahaha
anyway to those who enjoyed the curry, 谢谢大家那么给面子:P
i had forgotton to take a pic of my curry.. sob sob
Was in karaoke the other day and someone ask me to look at the title on the screen... haha everyone too engrossed in their singing to notice that the "WELCOME" was spelled as "WEICOME". we have been to the karaoke countless times, but it was only till now then we discovered the spelling mistake. hmmm..... haha no situation awareness at all...
