Back to work
3 days of Holiday is not enough in my opinion! But I love the quietness in the office. I can even hear the sound of pen dropping. Nope, I don't work in a wet market.
Chinese New Year used to be more fun. Now, is more of family bonding which is good too. Oh and feasting is a must. With all the goodies challenging my resistance to temptation (I always lose), my cousin wining our money, alcohol intake competition, time flies. We will repeat this cycle for another one or two days with the same people.
I wish there are 3 or 4 days of public holiday. But one can only wish.
Another thing i used to look forward to is the shopping before Chinese New Year. This year, I bought my 2 dresses online. Imagine my fear of meeting someone wearing the same dress! I am going to make sure I buy my clothes online earlier next year (instead of waiting for the CNY batches of clothes) or get my big butt out to shop. Why used, because for the past 2/3 years I had not give much thought about it. I used to flip magazine 2 to 3 months earlier to decide on the design/ theme I want for that year. I need to find my passion back. Yes, passion in dressing up.
Maybe I will post create a tag for My kind of Fashion and start posting them here.

The dreamers
My Friend share the quotes below with me today and i want to remember it. Of course words are always easier than actions. In this society, the older you get, the more responsibilities you have. Giving up a job that pays, for a uncertainty dream need a lot of courage. The rich kid next block might be able to do it, not so much for the poor. He needs the money for the 5 kids at home, he give that up for his dreams, he broke his 5 kids' dream.
Maybe even dreams, we need to plan. But it is always good to have a dream and works toward it. Now reality and dream, how to make them work hand in hand, i ponder.
“He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience,
dies slowly.
He or she who shuns passion,
who prefers black on white,
dotting ones "it’s" rather than a bundle of emotions, the kind that make your eyes glimmer,
that turn a yawn into a smile,
that make the heart pound in the face of mistakes and feelings,
dies slowly.
He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.
He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.
He who slowly destroys his own self-esteem,
who does not allow himself to be helped,
who spends days on end complaining about his own bad luck, about the rain that never stops,
dies slowly.
He or she who abandon a project before starting it, who fail to ask questions on subjects he doesn't know, he or she who don't reply when they are asked something they do know,
die slowly.
Let's try and avoid death in small doses,
reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.
Only a burning patience will lead
to the attainment of a splendid happiness.”
― Pablo Neruda

Food: Poulet - amazing french chicken
Wanted to shop for Chinese New year clothes but gluttony took over. Ended up having dinner with friends at Bugis +. =)
I seldom do food entry but i decided to start now. In case, i forgot how good they taste. Oh, most of the time, great company enhanced the taste of the food.
