STORY

Mork and Mindy are a couple who met each other by chance and fell in love. They would chat, sms and web came whenever possible. Both of us are very much in love with each other.

Recently , Mindy had to go overseas to attend a course. There would still be sms and web cam initially. Then, with entertainment and stuff, Mindy returns back late. Mork, on the other hand, would patiently wait for Mindy to return. Though Mindy would text Mork to inform him that she would be late, Mork would still wait up for her, no matter how tired he is. It was not about the advance notice given by Mindy. Without seeing her, Mork could not rest well.

Mork loves Mindy very much and decided not to add pressure to her. So, he sent her a message to inform her that he would not trouble her further during her course.

The last few days, Mork would always check his mobile to see there was any message from Mindy. Though there was no message, Mork would restrain himself from sending any text to Mindy. He does not want to add any burden to her.

Mork loves Mindy and the last few days has been terrible for him. He misses Mindy very much. He thinks of her all day long ........... he feels miserable.....but, he does not want to be a nuisance to her. He just wants her to finish her course , and come back to him again.

A Breath of Fresh Air

The last few weeks have been extremely busy at work.....

Since I agreed to help answer the other team's calls, I have been flooded with a lot more work and I started to stay back to clear my work..... not only that, I started to have problem following up.

Today, I realised that I had more time to clear my work and less calls.......my boss was kind enough to revert me back to my previous capacity..... I started to feel like myself again.........

Halal茶餐厅

Went to City Square Mall for dinner tonight with Jeff and Raymond. Jeff recommended the Italian restaurant on B2. The restaurant has a reasonable spread of food and you could have unlimited drink (in a glass).

We had chicken wings, escargots, pizza, seafood chowder and pork & sausage steak! It was a good meal! Better still, it was free! Raymond paid! Why, he was late!

Decided to got to the Street Cafe (街头茶餐厅）for desserts. Realised that the cafe did not have cake, went over to BreadTalk (面包讲话）to get a cake. While waiting for Derrick to join us, the manager of the cafe told us that we could not bring in any food that has pork, lard, or wine as the cafe is going to be Halal certified. Halal茶餐厅？？？？！！！！！ Interesting!

Anyway, it was just a ''normal'' cake and we got to sing Jeff 'Happy Birthday'.... the evening ended well... the company was fun!

I Finally Did it

It has been on my mind for a while....... I guess I was still not ready and tried to find excuse not to do it. Then, I decided that I should not delay it anymore. I fixed the appointment on 26 Aug and went ahead with it.

I finally did it!

Really Refreshing!

Many years back, I stumbled upon this delicious drink (the one in the centre) and I tried finding it in Singapore but in vain. It was really refreshing!

All the trips to Hong Kong, I would always stop at supermarkets or 711s to get a bottle or two back to the hotel.

The latest trip, I literally have about 3 - 4 bottles of it everyday! The weather was extreme and the drink was a refreshing relief!

柑桔 and 柚子 are the best........ try them, if you have the opportunity!
