Chinese New Year - "Reunion Lunch"

2012-01-30T19:31:00.001+08:00

It was on Chinese New Year Eve that we had our farewell meal at Kampachi Equatorial. Whether the lack of crowd was the result of the restaurant's recent price increase or the long festive weekend, I wouldn't know.Here are a handful of pictures that Mama Carrie had managed to capture while she was going around, looking for interesting dishes to pounce on. Not that she's a glutton, anyway.Simply

Friends

2011-07-05T22:55:00.002+08:00

What can I say about friends?First and foremost, I will never forget my friends. I constantly want the best for them. I will console and encourage them when the occasion arises.I don't expect my friends to feel obligated, but it's nice to know that you have a friend or two who cares about you from time to time. It reminds you that you're not alone in this world and you can count on your friends

On the way, I tried to engage in a conversation with him and a mutual friend of ours. We were once close, but the distance kept us apart and prevented us from keeping in touch - often.

Lunch at Pasta Zanmai.Although we ordered the same dishes, it was actually our second time. Our first time was on a busy Friday lunch hour. I had thought about taking a picture of the dish, but would the staffs allow it? It's better not to do it than to do it in fear. Mama Carrie commented about a couple of issues that I'd rather leave out of this post.My head was swirling with newer ideas for

I found myself attending a birthday Mass with Mama Carrie. The car was parked at the adjacent building because there was a lack of parking space in the Church building. Mama Carrie said that she had passed the birthday girl her present while we were leaving.When I stumbled upon that blog, the contents sparked my curiosity and I started reading the posts. It wasn't when I saw pictures of the blog

I can't help but close my eyes and listen to this song. The chorus usually helps to brighten my day.Papa Carrie thinks that I'm an oldie stuck in a youngster's body, lol.Using a cell phone to blog is definitely much more convenient, but it's tough. I attempted to so earlier in the day using WiFi, but I surrendered in the end because it was confusing me. If I ever find myself surfing on my cell,

Anyway, to buy six packets of biscuits when I'm trying to limit my carbohydrate consumption is definitely unheard of, but there are times when I can really down pieces after pieces of it. *winks*While we were heading down to the lower ground

It is easy to make me smile, but very difficult to make me laugh. You have a lack of humor. - Sam Even if I do laugh, it's mostly a quiet one. The only time you can hear me laughing loudly is when I'm watching that Taiwanese program. Anyway, this is the first time that I am reading the story after completion.
