Celoteh 8: up and down, and up, and down...

Mood swing is very annoying! I can be flying in the sky, and in one second I feel like I'm drowning into a deep sea. If u ask me what causes this, I also don't know. I'm blaming it to hormone imbalance (that's the closest thing that I can think of, judging from my situation). I realize that it's better when I'm surrounded with my friends as I'll try not to ruin their days by bringing them down.

I think with my feeling. That is one of my weaknesses I admit. Doesn't mean that I don't use my logic. I do use my logic (including when I'm thinking). It's just most of the time I naturally choose to follow my feeling. And being in this situation, this really is not helpful. This has been happening for about a month now. I feel uneasy. I feel that I have to make peace to myself. It's just like unconsciously I'm stressed out, but being unconscious, I don't know what are the reasons.

I'm so tired with my mood swing. But I've been better since Wednesday though. On Friday morning, I searched on google: mood lifters. There were some suggestions that were quite common like relaxing, hang out with closed friends, chocolate, etc. And I did put some efforts that day, like trying to smile all the time, trying to hear to some cheerful songs, trying to really put my focus on my work, and they did help. But of course my mood swing has  not gone yet. It's not that easy. However, I promise myself, I'm going to conquer this mood swing. I'll do better tomorrow than today. I'll do better every day.

My memory of you

One white cuddly cheerful poodle, a bundle of joy. Thank you for accompanying our family for the past 10 years and 10 days. You were there, witnessing our ups and downs. Cheer us up whenever we were sad. And you comforted us with your smile and wagging tails.

Thanks for taking care of my mom when I couldn't be there on her side. Thanks for putting smiles on my dad face every morning. 

Thanks for hugging me tight whenever I came home.

I am surely going to miss you. When I come home this Christmas, I won't be able to see you. 

But I know that you are in better place now. Now you don't have to be afraid when it's raining hard outside, and the lights and the thunders won't frighten you.

Hope you enjoyed spending your time with us. And now may your soul rest in peace.

Dearest Ogel, you'll be forever in our hearts.

RIP 21 November 2011

I wish I could cry and weep

I wish I could cry and weep
And all those tears can wash away the pains
Those pains that I don't understand
Those pains that I can not describe

I wish I could cry and weep
but even the pain is holding me back
It is too strong that I can not rip out
It is too strong that I can hardly move

I wish I could cry and weep
until my body swings back and forth
until I get myself tired

so I can finally be asleep

dear Lord

I seek comfort from You, o God.
My soul is thirsty for You.
Though one might see my smiles and my tears,
only You who know my heart.

Please give me Your peace and Your wisdom, o Lord,
in my heart and in my mind.
I can't live my life without You, o Lord.
You are my strength, You are my light.

I seek comfort from You, o God.
Hear my soul whispering to you, dear Lord.

Girls nite out - 281011

A friend of mine chose this place for our catch up dinner. Booked a table for 4 but sadly one of our friends had to stay back in the office hence couldn't join us for dinner. The place looks pretty small but they actually have a courtyard seating. We sat inside in a communal table (they have 2 communal tables and some tables for 2 inside, plus one circle table with sofa). I like the atmosphere, it's small, simple, cozy with modern influence. And if you take a peek, their courtyard seating looks cozy too with friendly atmosphere. Would be nice to have dinner in the courtyard on one summer night.

Service is excellent, the waiters & waitresses are all charming and helpful. We decided to order 2 entrees and 3 mains. The Ma hor is SUPER YUMMM!!!! The flavors burst in your mouth beautifully! You have to eat it as a whole. And it has nice after taste too! Super recommended! Second entree is the betel leaf with prawn, peanuts and fresh coconuts. It tastes nice but a bit too strong for me personally (yes even for my Asian taste, I guess a bit too much lemon and fish sauce). Still, is nice tho! 

As for the mains, I like the duck and watermelon salad. It has nice combination and the watermelon kind of cleanse your mouth. The fried pork ribs is a bit too dry for me, but the red chili vinegar helps to add the flavor hence it doesn't taste too meaty. As for the steamed snapper, we were a bit disappointed as we thought it would be a steamed snapper fillet with a bit of coconut sauce. But as you can see from the picture, it looks like a bowl of snapper curry! As for the price, I guess it is fair as the menu is quite different and it's Asian fusion. If you are fancying fancy Asian cuisine, you must give it a try!
