Night In Paris...

从来没有想过，仅有“一面之缘”的陌生人会成为朋友。可是缘分往往就是很微妙的。

今天受邀到KEN－SAN和YOSHIKA－SAN 的家吃晚饭。原想我们只是第二次见面，大概只会在餐馆吃一餐吧？可是他们却邀请我到他们的家去。对他们而言，我应该只是陌生人吧？然而他们却邀请我到他们家去，这某种程度上是种信任，让我乱感动的。不但如此，他们还很大方地让我带同事一起。

途中向路人问路。虽然是路人，但是却是个大帅哥。可惜RUI 的拍照技术有限，没拍到他的样子。不过这位帅哥很特别，除了以直排轮代步，还随身带着巴黎市地图，超可爱的！

找到了！RUE ST.CLAUDE。

外观不赖，里面更特别。

原来这原本是个很老旧的工厂，现在经过改建，仍保留了很多旧建筑物风格，包括这台升降机。我和RUI 花了不少时间才找出打开它铁栅的办法。

材料丰富的杂锦寿司。

在物价高昂的巴黎，这些都是很难得的食材。

我们当天的“大厨”…KEN－SAN。

这是YOSHIKA－SAN初次尝试的日式甜点－焦糖梅酒草莓

好好吃的草莓派。减肥？管他呢！

好开心。。。

是缘分把我们的距离拉近：YOSHIKA，我，KEN。

我们都喝翻了。。。

YOSHIKA，我，RUI（我带去的同事）

当晚，我真心第一次那么开心自在。原来我还蛮能喝的，也很享受这样一边吃，一边喝，一边聊。带着醉意，看着远处的巴黎铁塔，一闪一闪的。。。

有福

有句话说：工作给人尊严。

具体来说，是因为有事情做，所以有担当和责任，自然就有尊严。

那么我再也不会埋怨男朋友和我的见面时间太少，毕竟我们都是都在为尊严奋斗。有着自我的私人空间，也是一种福气。

渴望自由

很开心的一天。很久很久没那么开心了。

老天仿佛也感染乐了我的好心情。好久不见的月亮星星都跑出来了。

一整天下来做了不少事情。打扫了脏乱的房间，心里一下子宽敞起来。而且还有人请吃晚餐和看电影。看了《功夫灌篮》，是一部不用太多脑细胞去消化的电影。轻松无厘头和夸张好笑的电影。有人说是浪费金钱与时间的戏。我说，何必那么认真？开心就好。

一直到现在还是很开心，心情一直是跳跃的。我承认我之前是有点钻牛角尖，把事情想得太严重了。一方面也是因为寂寞吧？ 一个人寂寞，大不了就是大喊一声“无聊” ；但是两个人的寂寞，确实无比沉默，无比难受。

和我的女房东住了有3 个多月。看着单身的她，开始觉得她应该很可怜。然而现在却越来越羡慕她的那份自由。喜欢她凡是自己决定，无需向任何人交代的自由。觉得她即使单身，也很快乐。而且那份快乐绝对是来自身的，而不取决于你的另一半。好好哦。。。

男人的附属品

WAI 说：男人是懒惰的动物。当一个男人和你谈恋爱久了，他就会TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED。

我说：女人当初是男人的渴望，接着变成了配件，再来就是附属品，摆着好看。

这是我们两个女生在情人节后的“有感而发”。。。

快乐

花了好久想想如何让自己快乐。

奇怪自己竟然能够忧愁那么久。

甚至怀疑自己是不是得了忧郁症。。。


然而不管我有多努力，

我还是快乐不起来。。。

NeGaTiVe....

最近感觉有点低落。。。
不知怎么地，很容易就产生悲观的想法。。。
小事如吃饭期间的顿时沉默都会让我感觉沮丧。

尽量避免让负面想法影响自己的情绪，或改变对身边人的想法。。。
想紧紧地握住身边的幸福，不让他溜走。。。
常常自己冰冷的手从他永远温热的手感到的幸福。。。
无法言语，只想永远拥有。。。

心里充满了不安。。。感觉一切慢慢地逝去。。。
告诉自己：艾丽丝，加油！真的，加油！

Rang Mahal, Singapore

Lunch at Rang Mahal. Experiencing the fine dining of Indian cuisine. And I am loving it! Sister restaurant of Vansh. Although I must admit that I prefer the fusion concept of the latter. But it's an lovely dining experience in Rang Mahal.

Starter...

Enjoying huh...?

Tian Ren, Melbourne

Never knew I could find my favourite bubble tea in Melbourne...The fact that it's taste much better than what I had in Taipei is really facinating. Not to mention they also offer vegetarian menu.

So I ordered " Curry Mock Meat" lunch set. It comes with a bowl of rice with black sesame topping, 3 dishes of vege of the day, a glass of bubble jasmine green tea with pearl and dessert of the day.

Really enjoy myself although I am having lunch alone. And moment like this I wish I have something to read to kill time. haha...

While I was eating there's this group of asian student who aged 13-15 came to have lunch. They were talking in australian accent, discussing what is in the menu. One of them can speak pretty good chinese and ask the waiter a "mature " question: " How is the chicken cooked? It's deep fry then add with sauce or stir fried with sauce?" . For a second both the waiter and I were puzzled what diffrence does it make? Then she gave me a surprise answer: "Well...you know...different way of cooking will cause the food texture to be different.". Isn't it impressive that such comment comes from a 13 years old teenager? Everyone in the service industry ought to take note. Do not under estimate your customer. They can be VERY demanding!

Misery

Was watching this famous singing competition on youtube. Host by "Tao Zi", called " Chao Ji Xing Guang Da Dao",the second season.

Was quite thrilled to find fellow Malaysian Eric Lam on the show. Seeing him cause a bit of a stir in that show really make me proud. Haha...I wonder why this patriotic feeling came about...=P But first saw him on the TV when he first took part in Astro Singing Competition. Truly captured by the way he response and his prompt and rap. Everything was non-rehearse.

Was really impressed with his first 2 performance but the last 2 was a little disappointing. Somehow felt that he lost his "direction" and simply go through the motion...

But didn't we all guilty of that? We were good at something and were passionate at first. Then as time goes by, when we try to outperform every time, yet unable to do tat. Those frustration and miserable feeling...

相信

你说我不傻
你欣赏我的心
我觉得好难过
难过自己一度对你失去信心

难过像在喉咙中
眼里不能流出来的泪

如果可以我希望更坚定
至少学会相信自己的心
选择的不会错。。。

I am just a fussy eater!

I admit. I purposely avoided animal flesh these days. After reading "Skinny Bitch" and "Eat Right For Your Type" that convinced me in a way that animal product do me no good...

However, I wouldn't call myself a vegetarian.Why should I? Such an identity will only raise question when people heard about it.
"Why didn't you eat meat?"
"Are you born vegetarian?"
"What make you decide to become a vegetarian?"
"Are you vegan or avo-lacto or strict vegetarian"

I guess I simply choose not to eat animal flesh. The idea of biting a "body" make me feel nasty. I am just being picky...you know...I am just a fussy eater!

伤害

当别人的无心言语变成了一种伤害，你会用哪一种态度面对？

〔A〕坦率面对，理直气壮地找回公道。
〔B〕默默忍受，委屈自己以一笑置之。
〔C〕反唇相驳，却以暗箭伤人为快。

任何一种选择都无法祢补已经造成的伤害。于是必须时刻提醒自己，别让无心作为藉口，逞一时之快。这时候，我只想听一句“对不起”。

送花

与其说是讨厌收到花，
我更讨厌的是收到花后，
不懂如何对待的心情。

把花放在花瓶里，
然后就看着它一天一天凋谢变臭，
然后我还得去把它丢掉，
感觉就象把别人的心意丢进垃圾桶。

如果可以，
送花的人，
请附上花瓶，
再附上事后清理的服务。
哈！

Weight Lost...

Haha...girl's favourite topic. Got inspired on one of my flight that this colllegue of mine was on diet and apparent she did quite well.From 52kg to 45kg.Wooo....



And the ultimate moment was three days ago, I was wearing my favourite shorts and God...I feel huge. That's when I thought, girl,start working.



So, I gave myself 2 months time and start doing some workout. Hopefully 2 months later I can show u gals the "after" pic!

接受

我已经释怀
你常常不在我身边
也渐渐接受这就是我们的相处模式

有时我甚至享受
久别重逢的陌生
重新认识你
重新爱上你

Welcome to Milano-Verniza!

My first time to Milan!Excited and full of expectation! Milan, the city of fashion but the truth is I only remember the branded outlet that we went. Fashionable? Hmmm...not really. At least I can't see from its people that it's MILAN! Why? everyone is wearing the normal usual stuff that we see daily.Some even a little outdated. Sigh.....

After spending one day in Milan, we decided there's much more to see else where. So we went on to Vernice. Haha...After finding out all the info regarding transportation and etc. We decided to wake up 4.30am in the morning and meet at 5am. woooo...The earliest ever I woke to go for sightseeing. Feeling zombie and tired, we took the photo below--looking fresh! Thanks to the magical make up and wonderful acting skill.=P

From the left: Cecilia, Me, Wei and Andrea. (Of coz not to forget Dora who took this wonderful picture for us! Ha! )

Matching mask. I am ready for carnival!

Eww...Why is our mouth black black?

Haha...we are having the famous squid ink pasta!

The plainest dish happen to be the most delicious!

The cool silver masks!

Took the sketch of a art student who sketching the above scenary. ( I got ask permission hor!)

Looking calm....actually very afraid of them...

The "handsome" gondola man.

It's raining while we riding the gondola...

There's always sun after rain.

P/S: Funny story: Our gondola driver fall in love at first sight with Wei and was keep asking her to divorse.He even get her email add and I later found out he really wrote her a mail...Haiz,Italian man!

Foodie Saturday!!!

Once in a while I enjoy going out with my brother and have a decent meal and join his friends. It's a different group of people that I thought I would end up like them when I was young...you know...9-5 work group...ordinary people who enjoy every weekend hangout...

Anyway, was in Atons not the Specialities but the Prime one and it was good...though I can't taste the different in the steak they serve.But I thnk my brother's wallet is bleeding.Ha! The price is like 3 times its sister restaurant. Well, we'll just say "once in a while...is good".

Then later we proceed to have a drink at The Cheesecake Cafe in Siglap. One thing I miss about having a car, is you get to go every place you want searching for nice food. For this one, it's good. They serve nice cheesecake and coffee. The ambience is great. I am loving it.ha!

I have a song playing in my head

A sad song that is playing in my head...
