I just had to share this post that @cl0udi3 shared on Twitter.

12 types of dream/drink girl – I like it cuz it’s written in the local context with drinks like ‘Tak Giew’, and unlike other drinks analysis, this has more non-alcoholic drinks…

I like my Coke (Zero) and Beers… So what’s yours?

It’s indeed a good run tonight!  11.6km in 93mins!  Woohoo!!

I finally broke the 10km mark!  I’ve been such a slacker and haven’t been pushing myself hard enough to do that considering the run is on 29th May… I signed up for half marathon for Adidas Sundown.

Having done that, it’s actually not that tough, if I maintain my usual snail speed.  What’s really challenging about tonight’s route is the ups-and-downs.  I’m used to running flat grounds, hardly do anything with slopes and steps.  But it’s all good, I need to train harder.

Thank you ShalomW for inviting me to join your running kakis!  I’ll tag along again next week!

I miss running in the evenings… Remind me of those days in Shaw Tower when we run in a group of 4 to 6 – LewB, Ssiew, @jo_the_dough, @gerrybin, @dymphomaniac, GaoR and the occasional guest trainees Amos and Hangman…

1 John 4:17-19, NKJV

¹⁷ Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. ¹⁹ We love Him because He first loved us.

This was the verse that moved me and started me on attending the church more regularly last year.  But cuz I have such horrible memory, I haven’t been able to recall where this was from.  So I decided to start a jot them all here on me blog, and also share with all of you too…

Christianity is not about which church we go to, who our pastor is, what the church preaches, the tithes that we make towards the church.  We all know this discussion can be never ending if it was so, and we tend to be defensive towards our own.

I’m reminded in the discussion with a friend that the fundamental of Christianity is our relationship with God, and He is the centre, not the differences of our church’s belief and teachings.

I chanced upon this while blog surfing and thought this was a most apt article that explains it all.

What If Jesus Meant All That Stuff? The title is a head-turner, very bold hor…

I can relate to the article personally, as I had been put off by some Christians before, and in fact was very anti towards the church and their believers.  But by His Works, I’ve come to understand as I learn more.

It’s not about our differences, but all about our centre.  We just need to align ourselves to Christ, and everything else will fall into their rightful places.

Yeah, my little chatterbox, Kaley… She can go on and on and on and sometimes she’ll say the SWEETEST things when you least expect.

This morning I brought her for a swim.  She’s making a bit of progress in gaining water confidence, today she dare to lie down on the shallow steps to pretend sleep.  She cracked me up when she said ‘GOODNIGHT!’ as she was lying down.  I’m sure you will too if you can picture the scenario….

I’m trying to teach her to blow bubbles so that she doesn’t choke on the water when she tries to submerge her head into the water.  So I started with asking her to pinch her nose and ‘bu bu bu’, and she tried, SUCCESS! Hopefully she remembers it the next time we go swimming.

She said something really endearing while I was showering her.  She said, “I take care of you, 我照顾你ok? I help you to soap ok?”

This little pea 2 months short of 3 years, and she’s my pride and joy indeed.  I make this statement as if she was my own… Well, she’s the closest I have at the moment…

Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.

This is a traditional British wedding custom dating back to the Victorian era.

We first came across this from Tammy when Miss Purrfectz and I, the 3 of us, were talking about wedding bands.  We were going about wedding rings should be simple, classy and timeless, and Tammy told us hers actually has a blue sapphire in her ring.  Yes, in her ring, set on the inside of her ring.

It’s a good luck saying, and each item in the collection symbolises something meaningful.

“We were formerly from BLUE, does that count?”, words of Miss Purrfectz.

May’s going to be an exciting month, both Miss Purrfectz and Serenely are getting married, 2 weeks apart!  I’m happy to be their handy wedding helper!

“If you want to have passion for Jesus, you have to study His passion for you….”

Through @gleniselwm’s twitter I came to know about @jaesonma.  From a bad egg roaming the streets getting into trouble to a pastor who reaches out to students in campuses and ministers to people in the community.  He’s indeed a testimony to God’s Work.

What I really really enjoyed is Jaeson’s initiative 365 Days of Love.  Really getting out onto the streets and share God’s blessings with anyone he encounters.   I’ve just watched a couple, but am already touched, especially his prayers for the total strangers he bumps into.  Eg: Giving a lady money for her bus tickets, the power of SMILE which I really enjoyed and many more wonderful stories…

2010 is the year of change for me, and I’m seeing it happening already, and looking forward to more good things to come.  I’m thankful for blessings from all around, especially friends, and in most unconventional way, through Twitter somemore… (Well, then again… digital is what I live and breathe)

Was out with Serenely yesterday to run some errands, and enroute we threw in some treats, tea time at TCC and dinner at Ramen Play at Somerset 313!

She’s already been there with her other and raved about the chives condiments which I wasn’t so sure about…

She recommends that I try their signature Sanpou Tonkotsu Ramen, while she had the Miso Ramen.

As with all noodles, I usually start with the soup.  I just went straight for the broth and whoa!, was I impressed! I totally enjoyed the flavour, rich yet not overpowering, like soups that mothers would make, all the goodness from the ingredients to make the broth.  I likey likey!

The noodles went well with the broth, I liked the texture.  The egg, even though not as runny like Santouka’s, but was soft and the shoyu flavour did come through.  The charsiew slices was kinda fatty, so had to avoid those bits.

One-third through the bowl, I added the chilli powder and chives.  The chilli powder didn’t do much for me, but the chives grew on me.  I wasn’t sure about that earlier cuz chives have a strong flavour, and especially for me, my digestive system don’t take well,  I get really bad burps later on.  The chives was kinda kimchi korean spicy yet surprisingly went well with the soup!  Like Serenely I just kept going for it… SHIOK!

The bad news though, foul breathe and ‘flavourful’ burps followed.

Do give it a go, add chives for the bolder.

It’s a big big word, and definitely something too heavy to discuss on the 3rd day of CNY.  Trust me, it ruined my day.

I read the text and immediately understood, I simply replied “Ok.”. Which I thought was suffice.

No.

What came back was plain rude, and unnecessary.

I’m sorry, I just had to rant, I need you to know how disappointed I am.

It totally ruined the last day of this CNY break for me.

How awesome is it to wake up bright and early on this 大年初一 (1st day of the Lunar New Year)!

Wishing all of you a BIG FAT PROSPEROUS Year of the Tiger, BEAMING WITH HEALTH!

I look forward to everything good to happen to me, to you, and your families!

And a little tidbit to share with all of you… The Chinese Zodiac forecast.  The article says, “Drama, intensity, change and travel will be the keywords for 2010.”  Definitely worth looking forward to!
