Dada da da da! Its my McDonalds! I had Mac for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Egg Mcmuffin meal for breakfast, Filet-O-Fish for lunch and McSpicy meal for dinner. And according to their Nutritional Calculator, I had a total intake of 1794kcal today, which is slightly less than an average females' daily calories requirement. BUT of which, 89% are fats. With these kinda data, its abit hard to convince the public that mac is becoming more healthy just because they tried to portray a healthy image and sell rice burgers(that taste abit like the pink colour heart-shaped kueh that we eat with the black sauce but without the sauce). Nevertheless, they open 24/7, even on public holidays.

And by the way, Techno + Chinese new year tunes is definately a deadly combi.

I feel like im living in a plantation. So close to nature. If you close your eyes, you can just nearly imagine that. The overwhelming aroma of the pots of exotic flowers scattered around the house(that will normally wither by the 4th day of new year). And its simply too much for my olfactory epithelium. The point is even if you like all the spices(cinnamon, saffron, vanilla, star anise, coriander etc.), you cant add all of them in your soup. And it happens every chinese new year. Happy new year.

Happy New Year!

I bought a cute little pineapple from chinatown. All the pineapple from the pineapple tarts should remain like this instead! Huat ah!

Rainy days. I had always liked them except when i am stranded somewhere without shelter and/or umbrella when its raining donkeys and giraffes or holding on to an umbrella when the rain suddenly stops. But these days should be deemed unsuitable for work of any kind. The paramount need is to stay indoors snug in a comfortable couch, sipping some hot beverage, reading a novel and not bothering bout anything else. Heavenly.

People is removing all the christmas decorations and replacing them with chinese new year's. Saw the giantic red M&M on centrepoint being transported away by a lorry. Its the time of the year again. The time where everyone smile at everyone else, somehow become interested in each others' life, act nice and pretend to be one big family. Whereas the fact is that i would consider myself to be even closer to hi-bye friends than some of them. Not to mention how kaypo they are. And the usual conversation will goes something like the previous years' or the year before that. Most of the time, one will comment on something and the rest will suddenly be all agreeable nodding their head in unison. At times, they find you being left out or overly quiet sitting around listening to their conversation (actually eating whatever there is on the table) and they will try to rope you into the conversation as well. Cant they see im more interested in the piece of mandarin orange in my hand? And somehow the weather is always scorching hot on that day. I just dont like chinese new year. Well, maybe except for the angpow part.

This is how i start my 1st day of the year. Went back to work all the way at tuas. And when is the last time you take a non-airconed bus?

Its a brand new year again. Myanmar seems so long ago. Last year. Anyway, there was these so-called WHITE elephants (at least thats what they claim) that i saw there. Its not excatly white to me, more like brownish dark yellowish color. But its something that they pay respect and worship and its so great that no photos are allowed. Im sure they will feel offended if they know what does white elephants symbolize in Singapore. Redundant that is. Hahaa

I always say it was an annus mirabilis last year. New year resolutions are the same as well - Sleep more, work less. Put in less effort but gain more out of it. Sometimes, I seriously think i might just get along very well with murphy.

Im starting to get tired again. Duh.
