My vegetarian noodle was better | 我的素食面条更好😎 My wife bought this place of rice from a stall in Koufu food court at HDB Hub recently. Cost more than $7.50. Taste OK but wish the food was hotter.

They have food like prata and thosai too. I bought a $5.80 curry noodle. I like it and would like to try their other food…
The smell of rain 😎 Some days are just cloudy and you don't know if it will rain. Today the sky is dark and I'm sure it is going to rain. It's the smell of rain in the air that makes me so sure. I don't know if there is really such thing as the smell of rain. Maybe it is the bit of wind and high humidity but the bus better come soon because I'd rather not try to run up the bus when the ground starts to get wet wet wet.b

Dinner at Yuzutei | Yuzutei吃晚餐😎 Was meeting few friends last Friday. We decided to go to this place called Yuzutei.

Screws up 🤔, start working on your CV? When is the price increase going to stop? I was reading this news from Channel News Asia. Everyone is citing cost increase as reason to raise their prices. One handyman said even price of screws he uses in his work is up. So much for screwing up the price. Nothing much we can do unless you can get another job with a big pay raise. Who is typing their CV now? I heard these days people are going into video CVs even. Last year, one of the…

It's supposed to cost $7.50 and there are 4 bags of coffee I gave up trying to open one bag with one hand and record the video at the same time.

Here is a video I…
