.....times of refreshing.....

Whenever I am leaving for home to JB from SG, I will always called home to check out what my kids and wifey wanted to buy from SG. Especially, the kids, they will asked from toys to snacks like chocolate, sweets or cookies. MY wifey will usually asked me to get instant noodles as some types cannot get in JB as well as it's cheaper over in SG. She also...

1. Not a good weekend as when I reached home, my wife looks pale and tired while my little princess having a fever. Asked my wifey what happened to her and she said she's ok but the next day, I gotta sent both of them to the clinic. Both were sick with throat infections. Luckily my sis in law was with them till I came back. Anyway, they have recovered...

It's been a busy week and I am glad it's weekend, finally. This will be a short post where I re-visited this delicious chicken soup ramen at Crystal Jade La Mian in Bugis Junction.  It seems many years since I last had my favourite dinner (before I started on my bento and Japanese ramens) where there was a branch near my place then. It closed...

Time seems pass so fast especially weekends. I remember last Friday I had a conference and reached home quite early but then, suddenly I found myself leaving for Singapore on Sunday for another working week. Anyway, my weekends nowadays are usually busy with my kids' activities. Before the new weekend started,  I used to drove around to nearby...

After reading SK's blog, I feel tempted to write a post on how I started long distance running which eventually leads me to training for a half-marathon. Well, there's still two months left for the Singapore Sundown and I can say I am not ready yet as the longest I ran so far is 11KM. I needed to run at least 15KM to feel confidence.  And, I...

This is the first time I bought songs from iTunes store to keep me company while running. Well, with most of the CD shops closing down over the last few years, except Popular, I think I needed to get my favourite music online. I did buy some before but not via iTunes. Another reason I buy online is I don't have to keep the CD and just keep the softcopy....

This will be a purely food post. My sis-in-law brought me to this seafood restaurant which was located at the beach of the Straits of Johor, where a clear view of Senoko and Sembawang in Singapore can be seen. It was a refreshing place to be after all those shoplots restaurants; it's nice to dine by the beach. I love the natural and beautiful views...

Lately, I noticed the way my wife talk seems very similar to my 'patterns' and vice-versa. I used to be kinda kan-cheong (anxious) in the way I discussed about subjects or issues while my wife is very calm. However, sometimes I noticed she's becoming more and more anxious now while I become calmer, LOL ... I guess this is the power of influence...

I was to blog about my thoughts on the Ching Ming festival which I just got back from KL but since I gave so many comments to SK's blog on the same topic, I decided to blog on something else. Well, maybe I should talk about my upcoming runs. All is not lost after I skipped yesterday's run due to family duties as my company sponsored me and...

Finally I am taking a short leave this weekend to wind down as well as accompany my wifey and kids to pay respect to my mom in law, and yeah, skip my scheduled 10 KM run. It's ok la, at least I can get to see and spend more time with them and probably go around KL or nearby places. I will be on leave on Thursday and next Monday while Friday is a holiday...

I was at City Square JB last Friday after braving the massive long queues for buses at the Woodlands CIQ. I was late and hit the peak hour at the CIQ where long lines of queues were formed for several bus lines and these queues are not just a straight line but almost in a 'U' or 'W' shape. Well, if you intend to travel to JB on a Friday using the...
