Swimming Lessons & Korean Food

A week ago, my usual group of friends (Err..all two of them..LOL) did an activity which we had NEVER done together before and that is...to swim! Okay, technically we didn't really swim although there were attempts to swim but it wasn't full on lap to lap. Yes, at least we attempted but one of my friends totally did a crawl from one end to another and after the whole swimming/tanning/relaxing time, it was only because she didn't want to get her hair wet in the chlorine water..haha! But she was so sporting as in she at least did go into the swimming pool with us, with her branded sunglasses and all.

 I even had some swimming lessons taught by my other friend not because I couldn't swim, but I couldn't swim well. Being in the water can be relaxing and fun..but not when you had drowned once before in your life. That was many years back but I could still recall bouncing up and down the choppy waters. Still kudos to me because I didn't totally suffer from the phobia and managed to overcome it, bad swimming and all..haha.

Oh yes, a little side note, I actually had some difficulty going in and one of my friends was patient enough to wait for me and noticing something was not right.I couldn't use my ez link card because mine was the flash pay card and I had to buy the token card instead. After buying the token card for a one time entry, I couldn't get in because I didn't place the card on the right sensor. It was so misleading that the officer in charge had to see what was going on because the machines kept beeping simply because I tried to enter one after another machine..haha!

 Anyway, going out had just one mini problem. The gate still buzzed because I scanned the card at one machine and tried to go out through the gate of another machine..ha! I was like..nobody saw that..but my friend went..too late! I saw that.

 I am so ridiculous sometimes. But being in the waters do give you this calming effect like you don't feel like going out and just want to shrivel to a prune. Feeling stressed? Just go for a relaxing swim or simply soak in the waters.

 Anyway, on to the pictures.

Our lunch was special though. We had Vietnamese food..yumz. After our last Korean lunch, we now had Vietnamese food instead. We are so international. The soupy noodle dish was so yummeh that for one of those rare moments, I finished the food before them. I also had the traditional Vietnamese 'popiah' or vegetable spring roll, not sure the exact name, which I lurve coz it's so healthy and all although my friend preferred the fried versions.

 Another friend had their traditional Vietnam tea which taste, OMG bitter, but she could take it..ha. 

 The delicious food!




This shop was located in Arab Street and the last time we went Arab Street together was in 2009 where we had this special Exploring Singapore trip. One of the pictures we took, I was looking grouchy while my friend looked hungry and she wanted to recreate the looks we had.

The picture back in 2009 which my friend referenced to! Gosh, I did look unhappy..haha


 In case you want to know which halal Vietnam restaurant that we visited, here's the facebook page.

So fun being with these girls. Nothing is planned as of yet but I am already looking forward to going out with them again!

 Where shall we go next? Ha..thinking thinking.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
