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

Well, most of the times when I had pasta, I will ditched coffee for Earl Grey Tea. Not sure why, but I find that Earl Grey Tea can blend in better with pasta, especially those mixed with canola or olive oil. I have been having pasta lately in plain Aglio Olio  (no bacon...hmmm..miss it with bacon) or vegetable spaghetti. I just had one yesterday with wifey, who also ordered the same stuffs as me.

A delicious and healthy vegetable spaghetti

Anyway, I always find that I get hungry very fast whenever I had pasta as the portion was usually not big but that's good to call for a light coffee break or supper.

A cup of earl grey tea each for wifey and myself :)

Anyway, coffee still remains my favourite drink especially when I am having buns or sandwiches. I can't do away coffee with bread, especially in the morning.

How about you ? You like tea with pasta too?

I just receive a brochure from the National University of Singapore inviting folks to enrol in their Master program. Of course, my first impression is, the course will be too tough for me to do part-time for two and a half years. Some of my friends and ex-colleagues I met at times did mention the advantages and goodness in advancing our studies and upgrading ourselves. Said ..let's do this la... take that exam la...and etc.

It's always good to pursue something that's beneficial to us but however, I felt that it should also come with passion too. Without interest and passion, whatever we set to work on will become a burden to us, instead of some journey to knowledge and wisdom. I used to be kinda ambitious, wanted to learn this and that but end up nowhere..LOL. Actually, what I am lacking is passion. I remember I was studying for an exam and finished the book half-way but I kinda procrastinate and after a while, stop there.

 Of course, on the other hand, there are times that we sometimes 'force' to take up some courses and exams, like certification exams required by an organisation and etc. However, it's always good to instill passion into the project that we are committing ourselves onto and enjoy it. I'm sure regular bloggers here are passionate about blogging and end up learning lots of stuffs related to blogs, like self-hosting, earning wages from the blogs, attending events and so on.

I guess before we start on anything, let's make sure we have the interest and passion to keep it up! Have a good weekend!

Received my medical report of my cholesterol checkup last Saturday and thanks to almost every Friday's Bak Kut Teh, kaya toast every morning, McD once or twice a week, char siew & BBQ pork rice at times and etc. My cholesterol level only improved slightly after taking a more powerful statin and I gotta continue the medication while doc asked me to be really discipline...go for an healthy diet. Yeah, I always strived to eat healthily but then, due to temptations and convenience, end up eating fatty and fried stuffs.. Im sure STP is laughing now.  hahaha.... :D

OK, with that, again I will try to eat light and healthy food for three months till the next checkup. hehehe.. So, wifey and I ended up having salad with less one thousand island dressing, after receiving our report.

yummy!

I have been quite 'rebellious' and didn't really take lots of fruits but now, I guess I gotta incorporate my diet with lots of greens, fruits and cereals... LOL. Though I have been quite active in sports, diet is still something that I need to control. However, luckily I don't have to shun kopi.

Must have a kopi 'kao' anytime of the day...

And, here's yours truly with a 'V' sign on the 'first' day of diet .... No problemo! :P

Pix taken by my kid... :D

Have a great week folks and eat healthily!!
