Last eveining after work, i decided to surprise wifey by going over to her office to meet her for dinner. It has been quite awhile since i did that.
I was reading while waiting and did not realise that she has already made her way sneakily behind me to surprise me instead. Yes, i have a playful wifey.
We then went to walk a bit at Marina Square and decided to have our dinner at Tembuah Mas ( an Indonesian restaurant ) . we ordered sambal KangKong, fied chicken and oxtail soup (Sup Buntut)and finished off the meal by sharing a cup of chendol.
It was a nice dinner in a quiet environment. I love such date nights with wifey.
After dinner, we went to city link to shop at the Hersheys Shop. They have alot of interesting stuffs there and the smell of popcorns next door enhance the sweetness of the shop.
We then took a train home and i did my 3,20 and 40. ;o)

3 , 20, 40 and 不用加饭
Recently, I am making an effort to have a regular exercise regime.
It goes something like 3 laps around my neighbourhood (about 1.2 – 1.5 Km), 20 push-ups and 40 sit-ups on most of the nights.
I hope that it will make me physically healthier, and sleep better at night.
Also, I have been trying to eat lesser rice during meal times. I have decided that 1 scoop is sufficient, and I try to eat the dishes more instead of rice.

Beyond Beauty
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.
