Last night, wifey did facial for me. She has actually prepared a potent concoction of egg white and cucumber (left over from saturday's sushi making session)
I was initially very resistant to the idea because it is cucumber we are talking about, which is my worst enemy for the past 32 years.. Anyway I decided to try after some hard selling from my beauty consultant cum wifey.
I thought i am ok with the home made mixture but when she opened it... whoa man ! the cucumber smell it strong and it doesn't look too good to me so i changed my mind straight away. After more challenge and egging on by wifey , i decided to try it anyway... she applied and it actually feels very cooling and relaxing so i just close my eyes and enjoy the facial. Left the mixture on my face for about 20 mins and than wash off with warm water... refreshed! ;o)

Too Much of a good Thing
Last evening was the first time I tried my hand at eating a footlong subway.
I was certainly bloated after the meal.
Reminds me of what the bible says about having too much of a good thing.
If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit. Proverbs 25:16.
It’s a dilemma really, the 6 – inch sub is not enough for me; the footlong is too much for me. As I told wifey, a 9-inch would be just nice.

This is how I spent my weekend.
Last weekend was a cold and rainy weekend. On Saturday, me and wifey woke up early and followed folks to my favourite Ghim Moh Market. Folks ate their comfort food, Yong Tau Foo and me? Thye Hong fish ball noodles of course. It was yummy … wifey just have a bowl of fish ball soup.
my fav fish ball noodle stall at Ghim Moh We wanted to get fish for our aquarium but the fishes there do not appeal to us. We then went to Tanglin Halt but unfortunately, the fish shop there doesn’t open until late afternoon. So we headed home. Read the newspaper and played with my nephews and nieces and then went back. (ate cup noodles for lunch)
As we woke up very early in the morning and the weather is so perfect for sleeping, we took an afternoon nap until about 6pm!!
It was still raining, so me and wifey went back to Tanglin Halt and the aquarium was open. We chose our fishes (2 black goldfish and 3 goldfishes plus a sucker fish) we also got a decorative rock and an artificial plant to spruce up our empty tank. Total cost $21.20.
Next, we headed to Ann’s Saloon for wifey to trim her hair and after that we went over to the food center for dinner. We shared a sirloin steak, it was DELICIOUS ;o) we also have stingray and a plate of vegetables. Dinner was great as we chatted while eating, very relaxing. After dinner, we braved the rain and took a bus home… really appreciate to be home from the wet weather.
We than put the fishes into our tank. It was beautiful.
That night, I also caught the Asian Cup final between Japan and Australia. It was a pulsating match, with end to end actions. Japan eventually won the match 1-0 after extra time. A superb volley from Lee settled the affairs. I was expecting Penalty Kicks though.
Sunday was another wet day. Went to service and than to CL meeting by Pastor Jeff. He shared on the church direction again whole city , whole world. 1) Discipleship and outreach. 2) Giving 3) going going gone and 4) Prayer. He also shared that the strength of a church is the CG and who can dispute the fact?? Heard some testimonies as well on how some groups grew during the last year.
Next we moved on to AG1 leaders meeting by Michael at olio bites Café at Starhub Centre. It was a rather relaxing time just hearing about testimonies again.
this is michael
After the whole session we went over to Far East Plaza as wifey wanted to look at some clothes… she bought 2 cardigans at Viola. One grey and one white. Nothing for me though, I can never find something suitable at that place.
Had our dinner there and headed home… it was still raining at 8+pm…

Streets of the Small Night Market
Just came back from the streets of Chinatown...man, it was crowded as expected during the lead up to Chinese New Year. Was there with wifey, Larina and Eugene... we had BBQ squids, Spicy fishball, fried Tofu and tried their jelly, mushroom and cuttlefish. It does feel a bit like walking down the streets of Taiwan night market ;o) 
Earlier in the evening, we had our Sub D Cg, the first for this year at FMC. For intro we were asked about our superhero (someone who impacted my life deeply). I shared that mine would be my ex CL-shepherd Augustine. He is someone i respected because of his integrity and wisdom and of course....a twisted sense of humour.
Boy and Linda led the PnW. I liked that Boy explained the lyrics of his praise song. “honey in the rock” means that even in the most barren place (rock) , God can make goodness (honey) flows out of it... only God... and amen to that. Many times when we sing praise and worship to God, we do not know what the lyrics means. However, if we understand what we are singing... the song becomes more powerful and even more personal.
Danny shared his lesson on making life works. He shared that many times we are too concerned about our superstructure (exterior) but do not pay much attention to our sub structure (our foundation). Much like a building needs strong foundation, our lives need to be built on sound character, principals, values and beliefs.
To have a sound structure , we need to have wisdom and the book of Proverbs have loads of them! If only we take time to read, apply and let the essence of Proverbs saturate our lives and make God honouring decisions and choices. That is how God wants us to live and that is how He makes live works.

The Young Ones
This is another picture that I have found in my collection and brought a huge smile to my face. It was taken when I was in Secondary 1 (that makes it 20 years ago!!)
I can still remember its setting. It’s taken at McRitchie Reservoir during our annual cross country. We brought a basketball along as we were mad about basketball then and were planning to go for a game after our cross country.
Those days, we always go and play basketball before school starts on Friday at Silat CC. We participated in inter class game and got 1st. Chicago Bulls were hot then and I called myself John Paxson … ;o) haha and tried to emulate his style by shooting 3 pointers whenever I have the chance.
Its all good fun with my mates. Those were very very fun times indeed…

Tanjong Pagar United FC
16 years ago, I was an S-league fanatic. I supported Tiong Bahru United Football club , which later changed their name to Tanjong Pagar United Football Club. (a.k.a The Jaguars) .
I followed them throughout all their home matches at Queenstown stadium and also to their away matches all over Singapore ( Bedok, Woodlands, Sembawang , Tampines etc..) for many many years. Even when I was in camp, if there were any nights off, I will book out to catch their matches.
Aidi will always be at those matches with me, he was a fanatic too. Usually we will meet earlier in the afternoon for movies/shopping/dinner wearing our jerseys and than proceed to the matches together. Man, those were fun times indeed.
The Jaguars were a good team with a great fan base (good matches and Queenstown stadium will easily be packed to close to 3500 fans) but unfortunately, we never won the S League. Finished 2nd in 1998 but won the Singapore Cup. 1998 was a glorious year for us as we had probably the best player I have seen in S League, Majid Motlagh (from Iran) We also had Dragan, Tong Hai, Steven , Nico , and Saswa to name but a few.
I have stopped following S League ever since The Jaguars pulled out of the competition due to financial difficulties.
Why am I writing this? Mr. Zainuddin has just announced that Tanjong Pagar United FC has rejoined the S League for 2011 ;o) Maybe its time I pay more attention to our local league again. Aidi, you on?? ha..
