Professional Admin Week


Thank you Boss for appreciating my hard work!

This week is professional admin week and I have been nominated besides some others to go to a hotel to enjoy a meal. As much as I would like to go but I am situated in Jurong Island so I pass that opportunity to go as I do not want to leave and enter again after the event. Just too tiring for me with the traveling.

So my boss know that I gave up the chance to go and she got me the below flowers. I came to work one morning and I saw it on my table together with a card with my name on it. For a moment I thought it is from my husband... then I shake off and say niah... he haven't done that for many years and counting he'd never do that. Guess I was right!

Zhen Fa Steamboat - My Review

Zhen Fa Steamboat have been around for quite some time. They used to be located in Clementi then they move to Marina South and the recent location was 275 Thomson Road. Just opposite of Novena Church.

It seems that many people go there to eat. Just yesterday I saw the MioTV about buffet that they were on the list too. Looks like they have improved a lot in what they provide so thought we go there and try. However, it was a huge disappointment! This guy who was a consumer in the ad said that the eclairs was good. I tried it and almost puke. It tasted HORRIBLE... no offence... I have never ever tasted such terrible eclairs in my life! The cream just taste YUCKY! Ok ... housefly flying everywhere, though normal but one landed up in their cocktail drink. YEW! Lucky I didn't drink. My husband saw it swimming in it. The place was CRAM! I feel so uncomfortable and frustrated eating and wanted to get out there soon.

& the steamboat cost $20++.. which I find not worth it. The sushi ain't tempting at all. The selection... arh.... controlled prawns and crab... Not like the add says fresh jumping prawns. Tepanyaki, sauce ain't that fantastic coz it is not tasty at all that you want to go for more. Fondue, not much selection except for the marsh mellow and nothing to hold the chocolate like the ad says. Fruits is pathetic only orange and water melon and not more. Won't go there ever again!

Ever Spring Acupuncture & Tonic Centre

Finally got to Ever Spring Acupuncture & Tonic Centre This have been pending on my list to get to for long. It have been taking me ages to get to it. Last time they were located opposite of United Square and then was easy to get there but they have since moved to somewhere else which I don't know how to get there and also afraid of get lost. I know ... I know ... Singapore so small where can get lost. You'd be pretty amaze that Singapore is so developed that you don't even know that you have this small road on the street directory.

& may I say I am GLAD! The pain have been with me for so long and it is like HELL! Always painful when carrying my son. When I am having flu can hardly sleep well on the side.

So what did they do there? They gave me the acupuncture on my pain points which is whole back part of my body. Although I didn't have the eyes to see it from behind, I am pretty sure that they have quite a few needles on me. I have to be even electrocuted on my spine like a massage on my spine. The hit the very spot and after that I feel a bit better. I can't say that almost heal but at least the pain is relived by 90%. Hey ... they don't make miracle hor ... it takes time to heal.

Har ... not forgetting their specialty, TUI NA. I know a few places also do this but I like it better with this place. If you don't know what is tui na, well it just helps to clear up all the clog blood in your body. Here is a clear explaination of Tui Na effect by Eu Yan Sang. I feel so energized now but I don't mean I still got a lot of strength left in me. I just meant that the body is loose.

Still they also have this technique where they stretch your body until you hear a 'crack' sound from your body. Of course it is not crack lah but just that 'Loosen' the tighten bones within you. I find this very good stress reliver too. Last time the Master can even do the head too. However, be careful coz not everybody can be the Master at doing the head technique coz it might hurt you and coz death instantly; that is if you see those kung fu show where they twist the neck of the enemy for instant death.

Grandma lost her memory

I recently received a e-mail from my Uncle in Australia and am sad that to hear that my Grandma is not going to last till end of the year. As much as I like her to hang on but I hate having to watch her suffer at old age. I too have this idea that when I grow old, I too don't want to stay in this world too long to suffer more then I have to. So I pray that God will have mercy on me when I grow old. Sometimes when I hear others saying about some old guy die suddenly without pain, I start to envy them coz not everybody can choose to die without pain during old age. Perhaps it is a gift... perhaps they have done good and God is repaying them for their good deeds.

The night before I keep trying to find the number to call my Grandma. My son is giving me HELL coz he wants attention and I want to look for the phone number where I kept. Argh.... I have memory laspe these days and it seem to be getting worst. I remember I kept it but not sure where... I was aggitated and again I lost my temper. Usual coming from me. After quite a while I finally found it. This morning I called her. I told her who I was and mentioned moms name but she can only ask 'who are you again' repeatedly and say 'I don't know you'. I feel so SADDENED by this but know little I can do to help her in any way. What I can only do right now is to get her to listen and try to ease her depression.
