This would be my last entry till I get back from Guangzhou. I am excited, but am afraid that I missed out packing something. After all, Guangzhou is a strange new place to me, unlike Hong Kong. I am not sure whether I can readily get stuff that at need, pronto.
Anyway, I am throwing caution to the wind and just let things be. I just pray to God that it will not be so cold. I think I should be prepared with my winter gear but one can never know.
Will I meet someone there? Hahaha...not sure. Throwing THAT to the wind too (if there ever was such a saying).
Merry Christmas to all who are reading this entry. Will be back soon!

The not-so-good and the good
I have come to a point today, that I feel that there is no point in blogging. It takes too much effort, but yet, I should still blog. Even though not so nice stuff happen day in day out, there are still good stuff going on.
Yesterday, I was happy but today, talks about old age and death surround me, as my grandpa got admitted to the hospital after yet another fall. It is good to live in my country as long as you don't fall ill. The hospital bill is no laughing matter.
Anyway, I had a fruitful and eventful day yesterday. I attended an ex-colleague's wedding and then had dinner with Spacecake at Marmalade Pantry. Super delicious if not for my stupid gastric attack. Dessert made it better though. A must-try is there crab meat linguini and their desserts? Can just close your eyes, point to whichever and order. We tried the sticky date and toffee pudding and the apricot and blackberry crumble.
Personally, I have made the sticky date and toffee pudding my comfort food favourite of the moment. It was an almost orgasmic experience on first bite. Hahaha....that's the only way I can describe it. It was not too hot, not too suit. Everything was just right and the toffee oozes appropriately around the pudding without overpowering it. Need I say more? Better make reservations in order not to be disappointed.
Orchard Road has really gone through a facelift too. Lots of new tall buildings loom on both sides of the road: Ion Orchard, 313@Somerset, Orchard Central. Yes, I must say, we are beginning to look a little like Hong Kong.
p/s: Will post pics of the food later. Too lazy to find and plug in USB port.

Chyi, Tiger Huang, Pan Yue Yun & Wan Fang
Went Genting to see their concert. Out of the 4, love Chyi the most. Love her "Olive Tree" (gan lan shu) song and "Stories". Perhaps that is why I am what I am called today because of her song. Haha.
Tiger Huang Xiao Hu was my Dad's favourite and mine in a way. I love her song, "More than just friends". The song is about this woman who is always there by this guy's side, sharing his pains and happiness and when he has anything, he will go to her, be it happy or sad. Little does he know that that the woman actually wants to be more than just friends. It describes my feelings totally. More so now than ever and when she sang this song, I let go and cried myself silly. It actually felt good. And Tiger Huang sings very well in live situations!
I cried yet again when Chyi sang her songs. She has a voice of an angel and she has a way of touching one's heart with her voice. What's more, this was my first time listening to her live and being so close to her. She said that this concert was about treasuring and loving women and who should treasure and love them? Ourselves. Powerful.
It was a good end to a horrible day but no sooner had we enjoyed ourselves, did we have to leave the place in a hurry so that I can get back to work on Monday, which is now!
