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

I was on leave last Monday in order to spend a longer weekend with my family since it's school holidays. It was good, we went around town and visited malls, had good food and I even played badminton and watched football with my kid. However, thanks to the chat apps which I felt I installed too many on my phone, I received work related messages from my facebook chat messenger while out with my family from my malaysian mobile no.! I do not have any data activated on my SG phone while in Malaysia, thus its very quiet and moreover I switched it to aeroplane mode. But when  I saw the fb message, I was really baffled... my users even sent me messages via facebook ... wth.... I quickly turned off my chat in facebook. Then when I was home, I started to remove some apps from my phone and only leave two important ones intact. LOL ...

Oh... we was at Tebrau City and we patronised Kinsahi Restaurant again. I didn't take all the food pixs except mostly mine here. :) I like their food and I guess they make some of the better Japanese food in JB. Anyway, my two kids love Teriyaki salmon bento and they always shared one while my wife likes sushis.

Have a good week and delete unnecessary apps!! :)

 I had a communication breakdown with someone from other countries in work some time ago. Of course, there's no racist's remark here as he/she were brought up in a different culture and surrounding in his/her own country. It all started when I received a call from that person 'telling' me something which he/she was working on then. I have already knock-off and thus, I was listening to a long story which related to my IT system. He/ she neither asking me a question or requesting me for something. The person can speak good english so there's nothing to do with language. I got irritated and ask him/her what's the intend of the call and is it a question or a request. Then he/she started the story again! I cut his/her story short by asking again what he/she wants?  Then, he/she told me it's better to discuss in office but that didn't happen and it's history.

I guess to avoid communication breakdowns, most importantly is to check what's the intend of calling a person, whether it's a question, making a statement or asking for a request with a short background. Anyway, I guess the person was stressed.

Oh, btw, I heard a lot about Thai boat noodles and was at one outlet in Bedok Point last week.

But somehow, I ended up having a Basil Chicken Rice as I wanted to have rice since I am starving. Maybe I visit that outlet again and try it out! hahaha....

 Have a good weekend!

While working yesterday in office, my kid whatapps me to ask me to help him on some homework while my wifey busy cooking and doing housework. Suddenly, this thought dawns on me. The entire family was so busy. I was working for a living while the wife tends the home and the kids have their own stress of attending school. How nice if we can go for a getaway where all of us can wind down and relax. My wifey can go for a facial and spa in a resort, while the kids can play around in a play house or amusement park while I can also go for a massage or run at the beach ? This can be quite realistic and not really a wishlist. Once a while, let's give all of us a pamper, don't you agreed? The only problem is I am not sure which resorts offer these and good? Any idea? I can booked a 3 days 2 nights getaway.

Oh... I gained some 2KG after the CNY and it's better now, I reduce 1KG after all the running. Anyway, it's nice to have something simple , healthy and delicious for a simple dinner. I was at Saladbox near Bugis MRT and ordered a garden Salad.

It's the school holiday...let's wind down and let me know if you have any recommendations for a nice family friendly resort. :)
