The Urbanite Couple, Table for 2 and the Magnum

Its Thursday today! I am always (you can also say I choose to be) happy on thursdays because its Friday after today! hehehehe..
Today happened to be one of the few times where I could meet Greg for dinner. It was rather nice. He picked me from work and we decided to make our way to GWC, Cold Storage to do some marketing before heading home to do a mini cook-out. If you've been there, you will know what I mean. This Cold Storage outlet is clean and neat with shelves of foodstuff lined up neatly. They also have a wider range of exported brands, due to the expats living around the area.

However, our marketing plan was "hijacked" by the advert outside Crystal Jade. They serve steamboat now! We did the math and realise it will make more economic sense to eat out than to buy all the stuff and head home to cook.
As it is, the bill for dinner was slightly below $50, inclusive of drinks. I am quite sure this amount will not be able to buy us the same wide variety of food in the supermarket, not to mention the washing up after dinner. That will be quite priceless. Hmmmm.

Anyway, the "pick-wife-up-after-work", table for 2, mall-walking, all made complete with the atas groceries shopping make me feel like one of those urbanite couples in the urban world. It actually quite nice to do such stuff once in a while.


~Greg~

~Da~

-the sauce is important besides the stock, k... hur hur hur...

~ very see-rye-ious-ly in stirring the sauce.



- Halloween is coming and Cold Storage is selling Jack-o-Lanterns! Cute! I asked Greg to pose with the biggest pumpkin but I think he kinda roll his eyes at me and walked away to the meats section. Well...................





I had craving for Magnum and we bought it back for supper. I remember it used to cost only $3 something, but it's now selling at $11 for a pack of 3 magnums. Haagen Daz was selling for $25 for 2 packs, so I thought if Magnum was a lil over-priced? Anyway, it's really good and the occassional indulgence doesn't hurt, right? Hehe..

The Office is the New Jungle

Rumors are hateful.

Rumors are everywhere.

I suppose life is simply too mundane for some busybodies out there that they love to create SOMETHING out of NOTHING at all.
It is almost akin to using the analogy of eating plain porridge everyday. I guess most people would prefer to add some spice and flavours into their food, such as how they love to come up with their own side of the story and "garnish" it with extra details.

The office is like a jungle. We spent one-third of our life in this jungle, working our butts off to create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. Sometimes, we strive for more to achieve personal goals to add...well, the so-called depth and meaning to the otherwise boring jungle life.

How do you feel when you hear of untrue stories behind own back? And what about those rumors that are really malicious and bad.
How do you handle those people that are talking behind you and yet smiling in front of you?
Feelings of unfairness, anger, exasperation are being felt strongly. Do you confront those gossip mongers and clarify those rumors? If you do, does it help?
For all we know, they are already tired of the same old story and your confrontation will just serves as a new exciting story-line. Of course, when that happens, do not expect them to stick to the plain old truth, for it is .... well, PLAIN.

There is this verse in the Bible that says, "When someone strikes you on one cheek, offer them the other".

I wonder how many of us can really follow such teachings.

I just wish to live in my happy bubble and steer away from horrible evil people. Yucks. PUI.

the need to run

its 9am now. I woke up at 730am to prepare myself for the sat morning run.
but i dragged and laze around until now.

actually the weather this morning is perfect for runs. not much sun with a little bit of breeze. running on cloudy days are good. at least, i don't get dark.

BUT, i am so stuck in facebook games! and I am hungry because i woke up too early and went without food for 2 hours.

Ok, excuses excuses...

Maybe, maybe I will run tomorrow instead.
