Carrot Cake....

'What's the difference between this carrot cake and that carrot cake??!!!' One is 'ang moh' carrot cake and the other is 'dng nang' carrot cake!!! This was the topic for discussion in the office today!

ANA celebrates the 1st anniversary of its morning flight to Tokyo and brought us a huge carrot cake...(ang moh carrot cake). One colleague was trying to get another to try but the other colleague only take 'Chinese' carrot cake and not 'ang moh's. 'It's still carrot cake'...yes.. 'but it's not the same carrot'! Huh????? !!!!! Confused!!!!!!

Well, the 'ang moh' carrot cake uses real carrot but the 'Chinese carrot cake' uses radish... right? I think so..... hahahahahaha!

Anyway,..... at the end of the day...her piece of 'ang moh' carrot cake was still there..... she is pro 'Chinese'.... hahahahahahaha!

Pen Friend of Yesteryears.....

This afternoon I received a call from my China pen friend! Yes, pen- friend! Never heard of???!!!! Hahahaha!

We started writing to each other since 1982 when my Pre-U teacher went to China on an exchange programme and brought back some contacts. About year 1999/2000, we managed to catch up in ShenZhen and also in Singapore. Since then, we continued to keep in touch through calls and emails. I have not seen him for the last 8 years!

We spent the evening at the coffee house catching up on old time...there's simply so much to talk about...so little time.... we promise to try and catch up again as often as possible....be it in Singapore or in ShenZhen.

After so many years, glad to know he still treasures the friendship. Spoke to his father and wife on the phone separately and they could still remember me! So touched.....

Will definitely make a point to catch up again...

Old Friend....

Met up with a old friend....old not in age but in years of friendship! Hahahahahaha! Managed to find some time off from his 'busy schedule' to have lunch with me. Went to Food Republic at VivoCity. He loved it! He loved the deco! He thought the place was great!

Though we have caught up before in Singapore and KL the last few months, there's still a lot to talk about...especially when we lost touch for many years! We will definitely be meeting up again time to time and slowly catching up on those lost years.

Glad to have 'found' him again after all these years and will surely treasure the friendship!

Don't Ever Let Go...

I don't ever want us to let go

of each other,

Maybe our paths will go

in separate directions,

but that won't change the bond

we share and what's in our heart.

No matter where I am

or what I am doing,

when you come to mind

a smile comes to my face

and a warmth settles in my heart.

The day you and I met

will always be cherished

And no matter what,.

we always let each other know

that we do love and care

about each other.

You are more than just

a friend to me.

I often struggle to say how I feel,

but I hope we never let go

of what we share,

because whether it's across the miles

or just a short distance,

you are and will always be

a part of my life and me.
