Memoirs of the 27th

Labels: Food, Shots

I'm trying to revamp this blog especially with the colours. I like the black layout already for its sophisticated look but I thought I should give other colours a try.Tried to create a banner for this site too and all I got was the above. Free from the tools from a certain website. Yes i know, its simple. You'd say "Looks like the one before lah, whats the difference??? " Well I like simplicity and I dont like change (Yes, one thing about me. So sentimental even about a banner. I got many memories with it bah..so what) SO everything is on trial at the moment. So for the banner, big possibility I say bye bye soon. Got limited time to work on it so bear with me. Various change of colours to be expected. Dont worry, its not pink haha

From the raya pics, some would have judge me for celebrating raya instead of mourning for my late grandma. Don't get me wrong. I miss my grandma everyday and I have been mourning for her eversince she has passed away. It hurts me more as me and brother were the closest to her of all her grandchildren. Crying and not going out during raya is not what my grandma would have wanted for me. As you can see from my pics, I only went to open houses majority. Last few rayas I have been invited to several open houses by my colleagues but I was unable to attend because I go raya-ing with my family and the list was long, time constraint was also the problem. This year, I wanted to make an effort to visit those who invited me coz I appreciate them. I did not celebrate raya excessively and I actually had no mood to celebrate it happily. It was out of respect for my friends who had always visited my home and my friends who has always invited me over during their open house.

Was chatting with an old friend earlier. She was longing to be home and I felt sorry for her. When she's here, she can only be back for a few days before being whisked away forcefully by the responsibility of her job. I can understand the feeling of being so far away from home, family, friends and especially your loved ones. Its a dreadful feeling, I know. Especially if you're all alone, trying to get by the day. Some would just make themselves busy with work and activities, saying everything's alright so that they wont feel that burden, that longing, that hurtful feeling, that they could all wish they could be right where they wanted just by a snap of the fingers. Sometimes to overcome these feelings, you do simple things. Like for say, when you miss someone and you can't be with each other, you'd call them. It always feels better after that one call. Though the feeling is still there, it still helps. It lessens the burden and the longing. Maybe what I am trying to say is that, to get through the day for some of us, we need that. Someone to call..

Attended the "Seminar for Local Administration" at the Empire Hotel and Country Club on Tuesday 13/11 as a representative of my association, jointly organised by the Japanese Embassy, the Japan Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR) Singapore and Ministry of Home Affairs. Members of the seminar also included government officials from Community Development, Ministry of Youth, Culture and Sports and Health Services Dept, Ministry of Health with Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Dato Paduka Awang Hj Dani bin Hj Ibrahim as the Guest of Honour. Also present was the Ambassador of Japan, Hashimoto Itsuo. Quite an interesting seminar as we had the Vice Mayor of Aomori City, Sato Kenichi as guest speaker projecting his Prefecture as an example for local administation at the seminar.

For the last 3 weeks I have been craving for this Lamb Doner (Kebab) from the London Kebab shop in Sengkurong and I have been eating it everytime I am in town. Its truly delicious and the combination of the salad, lamb meat, mayonaise and chili sauce in the pita bread just hit the right spot in my stomach. As soon as I take a bite, I could really taste the tender lamb meat and my taste buds would be filled with sensations. Believe me, I always enjoyed myself while eating this as if I was in my own world. I would recommend this to any lamb lover out there. Though I have got to lay it off for awhile. I have sudden dizzyness that I am afraid to admit might be from my frequent eating of lamb. Eating a plate full of bbq sauced lamb at our Finance Director's Hari Raya Open House might also be the culprit haha What can I say... I love eating lamb.. *sigh*

Feeling remorse and helpless. The sadness is overwhelming and its clouding over me. Never have I felt so numb as I dont know which step to take. The uncertainty of what's to come and the feeling of losing something is so close that I am so afraid, so afraid. Of all this, there's only one thing I am certain and brave to admit. This feeling in my heart that I have been protecting and upholding for all of these years. I am not going to give it up as I still believe in it as I have two years plus ago. Please let me get through this and everything will be the same again..

These are some of the pictures I took as I got onboard the MVDoulos. They are in the same order as I took them when I went onboard. Forgive me as I usually take detailed pics of the tour but I had only one hour to enjoy the ship and take photos at the same time. Its hard to enjoy if you are too busy taking photos. I didnt have the same feelings and passion to take much photos as I had for Nippon Maru. Instead, it had made me miss Nippon Maru more rather than cure my itchiness to go onboard a ship. I'm sure the rest of the xpys would agree haha
