且行且珍惜

I have always liked the song 且行且珍惜 but never quite understand what it means.

Today while listening to it again on the radio, I decided to search for its meaning.

And I found this very helpful explanation : “且” as “一边”, which indicates two actions taking place at the same time. So, “且行且珍惜” refers to “一边走，一边珍惜” – to cherish what we have while going on with life or to cherish along the way.

Beautiful, and a very timely reminder indeed in this season.

At the Airport

We are leaving Langkawi shortly.
Sitting at Starbucks now and using their free wifi.
Thank you wifey for holidaying with me. Hope you have had a nice vacation.

Last Night in Langkawi

We are at Starbucks in Cenang Mall.

Watching Sunrise in Langkawi

First Morning in Langkawi

I am blogging on the go. It is 7:10am now in Langkawi and we are at Cenang Plaza Beach Hotel for a much needed vacation.
It is meant to be a simple retreat to just fill our tank once again.
Wifey is resting now while i am at the balcony typing this against the sound of those crashing waves. The seats of our balcony is wet after a rain last night i suppose. So i cannot sit.
We had a rather sumpteous seafood dinner last evening at Orkid Ria for just 202RM (close to sgd70).
Had a good night sleep as well after a tiring day. Hope day 2 at Langkawi will be nice and relaxing too. 

Taking Small Steps...

Last evening (14 August), we went to Labrador Park for a stroll. It has been a very challenging time for us, these past 2 months and  we are re-learning how to refill our tank once again.

We are taking small steps and feeling our way around.. God, be with us. 

   

 

Soccer and Night at Orchard

Last evening (31 May), dearie met her ex -colleagues Cheryl and Tin Chua from GS for dinner at Itacho Sushi @ ION Orchard.

So I took the opportunity to go for a short (but intense) soccer game workout at Tiong Bahru Park.

It was the first week night session that I have joined and it was just a small group so the atmosphere is a wee bit different from the usual Saturday sessions where they were mostly packed with a lot of players.

Thank God that it was sunny throughout the day so the ground was good.

After the game which lasted for an hour, I took a bus down to Orchard to have my dinner and wait for dearie.

Week night at Orchard is nice, somehow a Christmassy vibe to it. Don’t know why…. Less busy but still beautiful…

I have a bit of craving for Japanese food (udon in particular) so I decided to try Isetan Lido to see if there are anything interesting there. I chanced upon Wa Dining clearing stock at 50% off since its near closing time so I grabbed a 3 in 1 bento set consisting of minced salmon, a piece of grilled chicken and minced tamago on rice. It was fresh, delicious and cheap at only $3.90. After buying my meal, I sat at the slab near the underpass to eat.  

After that I bought a chocolate Danish and Freen Tea Chocolate bun from Johann ( I first tried Johann’s pastries when my colleagues bought to share ) so I am glad that I can do so and let dearie try too.

I then wanted to walk over to ION but just then, I spotted  Menmaru Japanese Udon & Ramen at The foodcourt… hmmm… there is still some allowance in my stomach so I decided to have a 2^nd round of dinner.

However, I ordered wrongly and got the dry instead of the soup version and the staff was not willing to add some soup unless it’s a dollar more so I decided to just forgo it. I also bought a fried vegetable and pumpkin to go with my udon.

It cost $9 in total (udon $6, fried vege $2, fried pumpkin $1) . Reasonable and I finally satisfied my craving somehow.

I walked over to ION and while looking at the Mall Directory and midway as I was keying in “Itacho Sush…” dearie and her friends were already standing behind me. What a coincidence…
