It’s the 10th month of the year! Where have the last 9 months gone? *Read back previous posts. Well, this has been a peaceful year so far, and I’m thankful for that :)
I recovered from my flu today (Or at least, I declared so). It has been an on and off thing throughout the week. Despite all my perseverance (e.g. eating only soup and healthy stuff, avoiding chilies, showering with warm water, stop jogging), my nose still blocked at night and I still spent one pack of tissue everyday. So yesterday, I decided to go back to my cool water shower and yoga and hey, I actually felt indifference =__=’
This week is again a short week for me in office. I had training on Tue (full day) and Wed (half day). Despite those, I felt that the week passes very slow… I don’t know why. Maybe because I didn’t have all the exercise activities to fill my time, or maybe… I just don’t have enough work these days :p
… which is actually not true. I had a page full of To-Dos in my Notes. Yet, I decided to go back home early and worry about those on the “next day”. My perception of work is slowly changing. I now care less about optimal solution but focus more on bare minimum effort to finish a task. This is NOT how I preferred to handle things, but I guess I adapted to increase my level of ignorance to suppress the level of stress. There is no point after all to spend my energy thinking of optimal solution if things change every fortnight *excuse mode on.
Having said so! I had this quote I learnt from my recent training and I'm loving it:
"Be Response-Able! No Deny, Justify, Blame.” – You can blabber about your boss and colleagues and work circumstances, but in the end of the day you need to realize that you’re the one responsible for your own success.
What else at work? Nothing much. I'm jumping to weekend now.
On Friday, we read about the opening of King of Japanese Curry Rice CoCoICHIBANYA at Somerset and decided to give it a try. Alas, the opening ceremony was happening during that evening and we didn’t get to go in T_T there are couple of idols at the premises, but we were only able to identify Utt. Guess the rest are too young for us (talk about feeling old T_T)

Failed to try on the new Japanese curry rice, we went to another Japanese shop – Yomenya Goemon. Their slogan is “eating spaghetti with chopsticks” which is quite unique… and delicious too! I'm quite surprise that I can pick up Spaghetti with chopsticks as easy. After a nice dinner, we went back home and indulge ourselves with home theater – Zookeeper. The trailer looks quite promising, but the whole story line was so mediocre :( We slept after the movie.

Saturday, I woke up at 10am and did my room cleaning. Afterwards, I went for a double date (:p) at Pasta Inc. It was a fine dining style lunch, so the service was superb. The portion is just right and I love the Tiramisu the most! Hehe…

After the lunch, we went to Chinatown to pick up my Visa, and then went back home to rest for a while before we proceed to Toa Payoh for KTV session. The session was fun, and always filled me in with the latest songs. Only complain is that the session was too short =( It was soon 10pm before we realized it. After a sinful chocolate sundae supper, we went back home and slept.

It’s 6.30pm now, time to shower and thinking about dinner. Planning for Green Latern screening tonight!
My appetite is back!
