Yesterday we had donuts from munchy's. It was pretty good. Think J Co is better. Sarah says donut factory better but I wouldn't know.

Kids out at church studying...well at least I hope they are.

I need to colour my hair...sigh...the whites are showing arrrrghhhhh ! If got time, will go tomorrow.

Haven't used any of the vouchers I changed from my credit card points...some shopping due tomorrow perhaps ?

Another gantry on CTE from town back home. WTF ? If you want to reduce the traffic, don't fucking issue so many COEs lah & make cars so affordable. Go home kena one gantry never mind, now two ! We re going home for goodness sakes ! And wtf timing may be extended some more. Ya lah, the intention is to get us to take public transport and I don't mean taxis, take bus or mrt. So that can faster cover cost for new lines & make more money & oh, not forgetting covering the wage increases.

Didn't surprise me when gst went up after the elections & now all these policies. We have to work until we dieeeeee with the amount of money that we have to fork out. I reckon my generation will barely smell our CPF...sigh. At the last elections, if I remember right, one of the speeches indicated that their win was a clear signal of the citizen's support for the pap. But err...in the last few elections, got more & more people voting for opposition leh.,,,si mi signal hah ?? In this next election, we shall see what sort of signal lor. My parents' generation have always supported the pap because of how they built the country up but this generation is slowly dying off. I was a supporter too. It will hardly be surprising to see support & confidence wane.

Aiya, simply put... don't fuck up what you have taken so long & hard to build.

Lament for the day...dunno can smell or not...sigh. May only be given enough to buy walker, dentures & adult diapers...

Ahhh I now know where the donuts our neighbour gave us are from. J.Co Donuts from Jakarta. They are really very good ! Sarah says that The Donut Factory is awesome but just thinking of the queues...quite a put off. I hear that Munchy Donuts are good too. There is one opposite Ryan's school...need I say more lolol.

Donut factory is opening up in Novena Square, Munchy's is opening one at cineleisure & when browsing the J Co website, see that its coming here soon.

There are donuts stores sprouting up everywhere. Wonder if this is like the bubble tea or rotiboy or even the strudel fads ? Dunkin Donuts didn't do well but then the donuts are nothing compared to the ones I just mentioned. Not tried DF or Munchy's yet but J Co donuts is, to me, wicked good !

Wonder why Krispy Kreme donuts have not made it here ??? Must be franchise very high.

I had rotiboy in JB long before it made it here. I wondered then why no one brought it in. Lo & behold ! It came & went ! Competitors began to sprout up too. And then they all died a natural death. I guess the difference with rotiboy & the donut shops is that the latter has alot more flavours. Rotiboy is just the one. So the donut fad will last, at least for a longer term than the rotiboys, paparoti, mamaroti & whatever else roti.

The only roti that has lasted for eons & will continue outlast all is the mother of all rotis...Roti Prata lolol ! I also love my yu char kuay, ain't a fad that would fade too...best dipped in coffee !

Lament for the day...indulge & I'll look like a stuffed donut.

How terrible, two earthquakes in Indonesia. Fortunately a tsunami did not follow in its wake. Cora felt the tremors from the second quake while watching tv in the living room. I was upstairs in the bathroom & felt nothing.

Have been having off & on headaches today, even right now. And feeling very tired. Perhaps its the weather.

Army guy with the gun & bullets should be charged & punished accordingly. Lets not spare the rod....I believe it was 18 strokes. And the family kicking the press...well duh...they shoulda known that it would have been caught on at least one camera.

Another colleague is leaving the company...another HOD....sigh. wtf.

Ryan did fairly well for prelims. Quite happy he didn't get a U grade for chinese. Not a bad accomplishment.

Lunch on Sunday with the family, someone kena 4D (sigh...not us leh) & treating. Shaslik here we come !!

Yesterday one of our neighbours gave us a box of deeeeleeeeecious donuts...different toppings on them. Looked online & there isn't a store here. Think they went KL & bought from there. Yummy ! Then today, other neighbour gave us homemade ngoh hiang. Lol...they all returning the favour from the fish we gave. Which really isn't necessary.

Lament for the day...still sux. Lol.

Haven't redeemed our credit card points in ages & did a check tonite. Had over 9000pts so redeemed $170 worth of vouchers for shopping & dining. Not bad at all. Now in midst of checking all other rewards programmes for our cable & mobile phones. For mobile phones we are using all 3 service providers lol.

Its that time of the month & I feel really crappy. So darned tired when this happens. Feel very drained...must be old age also ugggghhhhhh.

Quiet Saturday. Sarah went tanning at Sentosa but dunno what kind tan she got as it was raining this morning & then cloudy all day.

Am now reading Scarlett, sequel to Gone With The Wind. Not sure if I like it. Just a couple of chapters in.

Lament for the day ... it still sux !!

Sweet n sour fish all the way from Sabah for dinner lololol.

The verdict : Tastes good :> But can't get them into blocks. Dunno why....sigh. A few did come in pieces but the rest will have to eat with spoon lololol.

Met up with godma & an aunty whom I have not seen in years yesterday for lunch. Chatted & caught up till almost 4pm. It was a nice get-together. Then dinner with kids at botak jones (again!) cos the kids wanted. Bumped into my cousin, his wife & son. Baby sooooo cute !

Found the coconut candy recipe in an old recipe book from godma. Made it just & we shall see how it turns out lol. It looks & smells fine lol. Hope it tastes good. We shall see. Verdict later.

CSI Sundays !

Pace is picking up at work. I have a full next week. Will take my mind off why work is no longer as fun as before. I still like what I do but well...I have lamented why before. Not gonna go there again. Will get really agitated & visualise the face before me making me so want to puke & be downright rude (read : potty mouth). lol.

Lunch was a BLT sandwich with foccacia bread....haven't had that in a while. So it was good. In the evening, headed to arab street to get the baskets for press conf & then home as it was already past 5. I am looking for the old fashioned coconut candy in small blocks in colours of green, yellow, pink to put in the baskets as giveaways. Am told may still have in chinatown so must make a trip there. Maybe tmr for lunch though I should do it off my lunch break & definitely not on my personal time after work or on a weekend. I didn't think this way before & wasn't calculative. I'd go the extra mile & more. But now... screw it !

Lament for the day : Screw it !

Yep yep hubby came home with a shitload of fish ! The group caught an estimated 500kg. Got lots of Garoupa lah, coral trout, leather jacket lah. Gave away to our entire floor of neighbours & they were happy. Not the first time we give them fish fresh from the oceans. So much so that one of the neighbours bought us yummy swiss roll cakes from Kandahar Street. Gave each neighbour 2 or 3 fish, gave godparents some & we still got alot for ourselves. There was one 3kg muther kerisi bali & the bladdy head/tail stuck out of our freezer compartment door. This one hubby gave away to a friend, let him de-scale lah, de-gut lah & clean the fish LOL. Too much work lol.

Some huge ones & some table sized. There was a part of a chinaman fish (??????) hubby brought home...it was portioned out to share with his other fishing kakis. BUT one kaki called & warned that becos the fish eats coral, can have poisonous elements. So we were told to throw away lor.

Took leave yesterday & half day today. Did some errands, Cora's work permit extension etc, went to see a friend who was in hospital & had heart sugery to repair a leaking artery. His wound was all the way from below the throat down to the belly. Just like a bypass. But he is being discharged & looks well.

Oh watched Hairspray. John Travolta in drag was really funny. One huuuge mama ! The voice cannot run though. Fun movie. Enjoyed the music even though singers & the acting not so fantastic. No need to think so much, just sit back & relax type. Got a bit of morale in the story also.

Note to Lica : see...I don't just watch gory movies :p

Hubby is out of town fishing ! Back Sunday.

Work is still so-so & I do so want to get out. When opportunities arise & when the time is right, I will. The heart & passion has fizzled out all becos of one person. Oh trust me, it ain't petty. When integrity is questioned especially when one has not done any wrong, it farking sux ! As far as I am concerned, my integrity is intact with all the proof. I now know how others in the same boat feel. Actually the whole situation is ridiculous & smacks of desperation...the other party lah.

What is that phrase ? When you point one finger at someone, don't forget the other 3 fingers point back at yourself. The thumb doesn't work if you are wondering why only 3 fingers point back lol. The thumb is to stick up the ass lololol.

Lament for the day : Dunno who is playing games leh.
