Christmas is over. well.. not really, it's never really over. thats not the point. the point is, Christmas is different this year. definately different. i think i gotta start getting used to it. New year is even over.. now's the jan birthday season now. One thing after another.. but it's so different now. Well.. wat was i expecting?

well.. i said i wanted to post after my trip.. but i didnt. i was busy.. i was tired.. i was held up with stuff.. i just plain didnt bothered. i've got nothing to say actually. everyday gone by but i feel so task orientated. this familiar feeling of unsatisfaction again. It's been good actually, better than i thought it would be. But cant help feeling that it could be so much more.

not just talking about church. About my work, about my life, about my family, about my friends. Everyone, including myself, fell short of my expectations. not that my expectations meant anything to them. i'm just sighing. thinking there could have been so much more in my life.

BUT! one thing did surpass my expectations! Toa Payoh HBD Hub foodcourt's ROJAK!!! my mummy wanted to eat over there and go visit the HBD showrooms as well.. but i was thinking " All the way to HDB for a plate of Rojak?!" oh boy was i pleasantly surprised by the rojak!

i walked up to the modern look stall as ordered a $3 plate of Rojak.. the uncle took my money and gave me number chip pointing to the automated number calling machine(those that you'll find in hospitals or clinics calling for paitent's numbers). He told me to collect when my number's up. i was stunned for a moment.. used to getting my rojak fast. this is pretty new.

i saw that my number is still quite some digits away.. went back to my seat to chat with my mummy for a while. She told me that this is the only place she know that has 2 stalls of Rojak in the same food court. the amazing thing is that both the stalls are of the same owner!!!

2 stalls! and i'm waiting for my rojak with a number chip.. either they're damn slow or they're really damn good!. haha. i hope it's the latter. hee.

15mins wait.. it's here! holding the weight of the $3 plate of rojak in my hand.. i can tell the uncle is really generous. the ingredients are fresh.. the you tiao is super crunchy! i cant stop eating! arghhh... damn nice. haha

long since i've been this impressed! must try.. Toa Payoh HBD Hub basement foodcourt!

ha.. sorry for the sudden food craving surge. *slurp

Shanghaied

i'm back! it's been so long...! (one week actually) ha. but i really missed reading blogs! was trying to blog in china, but you know.. china being a communist country, blocked most of the blogs from the internet over there. sianz. no way in.. no way out.

so many small experiences i wanted to blog on the spot while the memories were still hot, but let it simmer. sianz. ha. well.. still got the photos though. over the next few days will continue to top it up in here. Hopefully i still remember though. ha.

well.. generally, the middle kingdom is fine. finer than i thought. beijing was clean and organised(except for a few kids peeing on public pavement incidents. ha). things werent really cheap unless you go to those places selling AAA standard fakes. but one thing sure impresses, the ladies! oh yeah.. they were more than fine for me. ha. wait wait.. before you condem me into dirty old man region, i'm talking about how they present and carry themselves. ha.

i was wondering, what was different between the girls over there and in sg. well.. i really have no idea.. was it wat they ate? (my shxt does look different from my diet over there.. :x), the weather? cold so they start dressing up maybe? think it's really the whole package. The poise and manners. the dedication and the gentleness they exude.

maybe it's just the girls i met. lucky me.ha. anyway, before their female counterparts in sg start to curse and swear at me, i still prefer local though. they look more comfortable in their own skin, warmer and more welcoming. So support the Made In Singapore lable people! :)

ha. i bet the girls are also complaining about the local guys, but it's just different i guess. China opened up my eyes, and excuse me.. it's not just the girls that are eye opening. ha. they speed at which they progress, that they built, their crazy global ambitions. scary how this small dot is gonna compete with the awaken dragon.

well well.. i'm sitting in mos burger surfing. getting cold in here and my tummy is feeling funny. think i better make a trip to the xi shou jian(wash room in china). ha

*poof*

goin back to camp soon.. but more importantly.. TML I'M ON DUTY!! sianz.. 8Sig really quite a lot of duty.

anyway.. flying off to China on thurs! hee.. well.. a lot of things for thurs.. glen goin to army on thurs also! ha. all the best bro. may you be like a beacon of light in the army.. never falter to the temptations and coming out a stronger than ever!
