Food

soothes the tired mind.

Dear and I camped out in the library on thursday and friday.. from 9+am till 8+ pm on average?
Dear brought me to eat steamboat on wednesday, old airport food centre on thursday so I treated him Cafe Cartel on friday :)

And of course, good company makes studying bearable. Went for lunch together in school and we reminisce our dating days back in school.

Dear went back today after breakfast and it will be "chionging intensive" for us for our first paper next week.

My Current Obessesion

I am usually NOT A FAN of dramas..especially taiwanese dramas..
BUT I couldnt resist this. Its different from the usual cinderella stories.. poor girl meets rich man in most taiwanese drama so fairytale..

At least this is more realistic.. I think.
About a career centered older woman and a younger man who dropped out of med school halfway
and the younger man trying to match the career woman at the end
and they, having to bypass various obstacles to be together.

My Queen 敗犬女王




and plus point, Lucas is SO good looking.

I sound like a fangirl now -_-
wahahahhaha

Korean weekends

Went CHinatown last Saturaday with mum, she wanted to pay the balance for her Taiwan Trip but the tour agency said it was still early sigh and I tried to postpone the BKK trip and they also said it's still early too and we had to wait for further instructions from the airlines.

Brought Mum to eat TOGI, a korean restaurant :) she likes the rice but not the pancake.. I ordered wrongly zzz
Dear joined us halfway through the lunch.

Went OG after that to buy his dad some gifts and I managed to get two poloshirts from Goldlion for him.

Mum and I separated after that and Dear and I made our way back his place.

For his dad's birthday, we had Korean BBQ! LOL

*******
At Togi

Rainy evening

While having dinner, I was reading my papers and I came across this article.




How to write good cover letters..
recent local news appeared to be optimistic in regards to jobs and economy. Pray hard we get lucky for pay raise!
***

something totally random.. a colleague was saying her friend got a job offer WHICH pays 2K for an entry diploma holder with a few years experience, however the peeve was NO CPF.

She was so pissed off as she mentioned how important CPF is towards housing issues.. no CPF, no house.

SO...I did a little poll just for interest.



while at the issue of housing, how much CPF do you want to have BEFORE you get your house? Combined CPF.

Blood Pressure

Mum bought a blood pressure monitor recently and she has been monitoring hers frequently.
We all took turns to take our blood pressure too and mine was the lowest at 90/70? -_-

mum started her "nagging" of "you not eating" etc etc
when i did.
albeit infrequent and irregular times..
how to eat when my work's packed back to back and i had to finish my lunch in 15min? -_-

oh well.
hope the situation improves soon... and i can go for my exam leave.

maybe its the late nights..
daily schedule goes like ..eat at 7, revise at 8+ till 11+ then off to bed..
no time to revise at work too.. not that i am supposed to.
Went to work and everyone commented I looked so pale, even my boss.
but its heartening to know that people care :)

Anyway some information on low blood pressure.

Young Singaporeans should have confidence in their future, says DPM Teo

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1048066/1/.html
some exerpts below

"It's regarding a statement made by the Minister Mentor that if the opposition wins in a GRC contest then Singaporeans should better sell their flat because they would no longer be of any value. I think that's bad. He's basically saying don't vote the opposition and my feeling is that most Singaporeans don't like being told what to do, especially regarding political stuff and this is especially so for people like us, the younger generation."

Responding, Mr Teo said he agreed that how the government engages the people is important.

Mr Teo said: "People are sensitive. I mean I don't like being told what to do. I prefer to think that I make up my own mind and so do most Singaporeans. But you know Minister Mentor. He's got a wealth of experience, he's probably heard this question multiple times and he is famous for telling it like it is."

---------

Mr Teo said: "You want to wait for perfection before you decide to get married, you want a perfect man or this perfect woman to come along but this doesn't exist! It just doesn't exist! You're looking for this 10 which doesn't exist maybe 8.5 will do or 7.5 will be alright and then you just adapt to each other.

"Then you want to wait for this perfect house to come along before you actually tie the knot. Then you want to wait for this perfect moment in your married life before you have your first child, and you don't want to have your first child unless you're sure your child can score 250 points in PSLE. Nobody can guarantee that! I'm not suggesting that we all become promiscuous but we can all loosen up a bit."
