good food, great company

met up with xiangyun, deborah and minghao yesterday afternoon (since it's past midnight now) before xiangyun and ming leaves for china. think we kinda spent too much time talking at the place... = = kinda felt that the waitresses etc were waiting for us to leave... but hey~ it's a saturday afternoon and there was seriously not alot of pple in the shop!

but oh well... the point is... I LOVE their pasta!!! (xiangyun suggested taking these photos, and since it reminds me of Mr. Goh Kiat Chun, aka WuChun, I don't mind even though it is a little dumb~~ :P ) The photos were taken with xiangyun's camera~ ^^

I had some kind of a mix fry seafood curry pasta that has calamari, a large slice of dory fish and 2 prawns:


















xiangyun had the cafe's signature slipper lobster pasta:


















and since it's xiangyun's birthday today, this is from bakerzin!!!

















HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY XIANGYUN!!!! love ya!!! ^^

A meaningful quote to share

Read this from a blog (supposedly by wuchun, still determining it's authenticity). Thought it's very meaningful and will like to share it with all of you:

每个人都有潜在的能量，只是很容易:被习惯所掩盖，被时间所迷离,被惰性所消磨。

Has your energy been left somewhere? Recover it.

p/s: this is quoted from a sina blog, wuchun's official blog is on wretch. Those interested can visit at: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/wuchun10cool He blogs in both English and Chinese. ^^

世事无常

Got news that a friend of mine met a serious accident in the US...

my dears, please take care of yourselves no matter where you are ok? Drink lotsa water, sleep enough, keep fit, and be careful when travelling. I have a faint heart, pls dun let me worry about you peeps too much. 你们都要好好的啊！

新年快乐！

多1个小时就要迎接猪年的到来了~
新的一年里希望大家事事顺利，笑口常开，心想事成！！
（不好意思，我的祝福就是那几句……每年都一样 = =）

说到新年，新年对大家的意义是什么呢？
小时候，新年对我来说是新衣服，好吃的食物，和红包。
后来觉得新年是和家人团圆的时候，能见到长辈们等等~

现在呢……其实觉得新年和平时没什么不一样。
怎么说呢？
如果说新年是团圆的日子，是互相问候，照应的日子，
那我觉得天天应该是新年。为什么到了新年才要事事顺利，财元广进，笑口常开呢？
为什么到了新年家人才会互相问候和见面呢？
这些应该是平时就该做的吧？
也许因为大家平时都很忙吧，
所以春节期间是大家能够空闲下来，见面的日子。
这是我给自己的借口。
但是说真的……
还是希望这样的关怀和问候不是一年一次，而是无时无刻。

Be my Valentine~

To my dearest family and friends,

In this season of love, I just wanna say that I love all of you very very much.
Happy Valentine's Day. ^^

With Love~

闹别扭

刚刚和妈妈闹了点别扭。
最近总是觉得心情闷闷的，不想和人相处。
总觉得大家都在忙自己的事情，
总是把自己的事情放在最上位。
觉得我的感想，我的感受被忽略了。
说不上哪里闷，就是无名的发闷气，
希望能有人发自内心的问我“你最近好吗？”。

相反的

可是相對的……
因爲不想把關係搞疆，因爲考慮到那些人以後可能會對我有幫助，
而安靜地忍受被佔便宜而不吭聲的我……
也很狡猾吧？

佔便宜

我一直都認爲人是有惰性的~
基本上我是個懶惰的人，
能花少一點力氣，少一點精神，少一點腦子的事情我都喜歡~
太複雜的事情我不喜歡想太多，因爲所付出的遠遠地比所得到的多。
可是我自認我不喜歡佔人便宜。
雖然我覺得人應該互相利用（ok……説好聼一點叫“互相幫助”），
但是我是那種寧願自己吃一點虧也不願意去佔便宜的人。
相對的，我也會希望別人能這樣對我。
我人是比較單純，比較沒心機，但是我不喜歡人家擺明的佔我便宜。
這樣的行爲很醜陋。

me

I think I behave like I am still in secondary school in front of my secondary school friends.

I dunno if it's a bad thing or good thing, but I can say that I definately behave differently with them. Let's say... honestly, I feel most comfortable with them. Ale can be the crazy, sometimes very serious Ale I always am. I tend to be more frank with them too. Sometimes to the extend of hurting them? So... thanks dears for taking my words well all the time, and for seeing the things and the real intentions behind my words. I will definately not speak to harm you girls. Also, thanks for being frank with me all the time too. It's rare in life to find pple who speaks for your best interest, and I'm glad I've found you girls. ^^

I behave differently with different groups of friends too. Some things can be said with this group, some things can't. Some things will not be understood even if I said them. Over the years, have I developed a self-filtering system to make me tell certain people certain things? Maybe that's how geminis function? Adaptation? haha~ let's say it's Survival of the Fittest. Hey! I'm a BIOengineer yah? = =#
