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

Well, I haven't book any flight tickets yet as well as confirmed the holiday destinations. In fact, I am thinking of where to go ...err... to be exact, the whole family was thinking of where to go for a sabbatical break during year end, including my two small kids. We went to several tour agencies, make some inquiries and got brochures back to consider. Well, since I am the only breadwinner of the family, the trip has to be affordable and which means will be somewhere near.

Thus, here are the remarks made by the four of us, including my kids ... yes... as these little monsters can wreck havoc to your plans if they are not happy!!!

1. hmm... the place safe or not as some incidents just happened (you know where....)
2. That place too hot leh. .. I heard from dunno who said they don't feel like going out as its too hot...
3. aiyo...beach again ah .... 
4. heard the public toilets very dirty there ... the people over there are like that , anyhow anyhow ...
5. cruise again ? boring le...
6. Very crowded la ..that place..
7. Flight too long la...

hahaha... Very troublesome right? Well, I guess I just need to calm down (better still, after a workout and shower), closed my eyes , sit on my bed and meditate on it.  Btw, there's also some datelines to meet by the agencies for the tours. I thought going on a planned tour is better and hassled free, since I got two little monsters with us, compared to those land tours. And, mentioning about datelines, some relatives also wanted to follow us but when we asked them for confirmation, all diam-diam (silence).

 Btw, haze is better due to two heavy downpours for two consecutive days here but I am still working out in the gym. I probably go  for a run tomorrow evening if its still clear and finished work early. Oh... it's been a while I had a ramen and I went for a Sapporo Miso Tonkotsu Ramen.


Have a good weekend!!

It's almost year end already and this is the time where most of the folks will wind down by clearing leaves from work and started travelling for their vacation, whether near or far. I also planning to go somewhere but due to that I didn't plan earlier, I may have to pay more for my trip. I have also yet to decide on my vacation though I got some brochures back but at least, will go somewhere, whether it's local or nearby overseas. I don't mind going for a cruise again as I went for one last year but my family declines it, probably they find it to be boring. The kids would love to go for some theme parks and doesn't really care whether it's local like Legoland, Kidzania, Hello Kitty town and etc. As for me, if possible, I like to getaway to another country to see around.

Anyway, it's always good to take a longer break during this time to wind down from work, and going to places we never been to before can be very therapeutic and relaxing. Most of my colleagues already book their tours. Well, at least, it's some good rewards for ourselves after a year of work. Go ahead, folks, reward yourselves with a good vacation, whether its nearby or far.

Meanwhile, after a good workout tonight, I realised my favourite Japanese restaurant has a new menu. Thus, I tried something new tonight. I ordered a Shogayaki Shiro Bento, which consist of fried Dory fish, tempura, salmon sashimi, chawanmushi, miso soup and a bowl of rice. And, the servings was a lot !!

Fried Dory Fish and it's being kept warm by a mini electrical stove.

Tempura

Salmon Sashimi

My favourite chawanmushi

I was really full especially the four pieces dory fish which can be a serving for two person. And, there goes my workout .... :P
