Thank you to all who left comments on the blog, sent me emails and sms-es to ask about my family. Things are better and my dad’s recuperating at home.
Anyway, so I was watching the National Day Rally speech and as always, there’s the singles and baby issue. I’m one of those problematic singles whom the Government is trying to pair up and procreate to sustain the economy. It’s true, though, what PM Lee said, most singles actually do want to get married, but somehow finding that special someone seems to be an elusive search. Like seriously, WHERE can one go to meet men?
Don’t tell me from paddling, ‘cos I’ve been paddling for so many years and I’ve never met anyone. Dragonboat competitions though, especially international ones, are great venues for ogling at fine specimens of the male species. Us girls had so much eye candy in Penang that we were going delirious from seeing rippling muscles everywhere we looked. *faint* OK, I’m starting to sound like Carrie Bradshaw sans the glamour, high fashion and even higher Manolos. I shall stop.
Well, as I’m still searching, good friend olduvai sealed her marriage vows with her R, who also happens to be monoceros’ bro, in a lovely and simple ceremony that took place at Brown Sugar restaurant. So happy for them!!! Am glad that monoceros and I had a part in bringing the happy couple together!
In other random musings, I had decided, very bravely, two weeks ago that I wanted to take part in a full marathon at the end of the year. I thought, why not, new challenge, and it would force me to run even though I’m not exactly very fond of running such long distances. But having done the half-marathon before, there was no good reason for me to do the 10km – I mean, we should be progressing and not regressing! And another good reason to run the full marathon is that I get to participate for free as a member of staff (OK, so now you can probably guess which company I work for), saving me $80+. So anyway, I was really gungho the other day and proceeded to register myself on the company intranet site. But alas, my employee ID was not recognised by the system! Maybe it’s the heaven’s way of telling me that I should just stick to paddling and not attempt such running feats!
On the food side, I ate at Ku recently, the Japanese restaurant at Intercontinental Hotel. Great food, great service, lovely ambience. I’ll have to get the pictures from my cousin. And by the way, I love the revamped Bugis Junction basement – so much food and snacks! I feel like I want to eat everything.
I’ve also been sussing out lunch places around Raffles Place. I think I’m going to start chronicling my lunch adventures for lack of anything else interesting to write. I feel like I’m starting to become a very boring person. How ah???? Need to do something!!!
Suggestions welcome.
