Pleasant Surprise

The last 4 days have been kinda a change from my routines. My dad n mum came on thursday. I went to meet them at Raffles City. My mum was acting strange, dragging me here and there, and I was amused but couldn't figure out what was going on. We had dinner and was about to leave when my mum went to call a boy who was busy doing some homework on other table. I was surprised, n seconds later, surprised at how unobserving I was. My bro was coming with them @_@ and he was around all the time, I even walked pass him a couple of times. I just didn't bother to see around. Anyway.. yeah a pleasant surprise. Surprise is something I have not had enough of lately.

The highlight of the 4 days was trying out the 'dian xiao er', a restaurant at marina square selling herbal duck. the place was designed somewhat like the oldtime restaurant with the waiters all dressed in the oldtime waiter dress. and for the first time in my life i tried out the ever famous wine "nu er hong". It was 3.20$ per cup. 19.00$ per jug. well, to bro wanderer: I guess I just found the place where we can drink wine like those wuxia people.

And as we ate there, it just crossed our mind that.. jakarta hasn't got this kind of restaurant selling typical old chinese dishes that go well with wine. not many are fond of wine and duck but if your restaurant is the only one selling them then.. ^^

Okie dokie.. that's the end of the 4 days. it certainly felt strange, detaching myself from everything I normally do for 4 days here. health has not been good, fingers crossed I am fit for japan trip. quite disappointed though, that I can't extend my japan trip to do some travel on our own.

it's march, and it's hot.. being single and free is all nice and fun but I think I need a 'you'.

ok, let's go there!
just forgive me..ur brother has not mastered the "it yang cie" so i cannot purge out the wine thru my finger. guess, i have to drink tea, instead of wine :P

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
