New dish? New resolution?

I'm thinking to cook Fried Vegetarian Brown Rice and Oriental Pork Chop.  But I will figure them out when I back from Korea next week.  Looking forward for it.  :)

I've been planning my next yr resolution.  Nothing concrete yet.  But definitely I need to start to look out for jobs.  Could be temp or contract or perm.. Cos I planning something to align with it.  My mind just have lots of question than ans, maybe because nothing is firm.  Also, my plans are not for myself now, it includes Tiong-san cos the impact affects him too.  Therefore, the topic must be communicate and discuss thru between us, just to ensure both of us are ok to deal with it.

Hope so!

Preparation and accomplishments

Hi, I bought quite a few items for the coming winter trip, like a bright red winter coat, which is so striking that I wun get myself lost.  I still need to get a pair of shoes which I can wear for winter.  Tiong-san said better dun wear track shoes, cos will easily get wet and slippery.  Maybe later I go central  area to look look.  For this trip, I think we have already spent quite a bit before going, just to prep ourselves for winter.  I guess these days I will be busy washing, packing the clothes and see what else that still needs to get before boarding.   Probably I still need a pair of shoes, a pants and moisturizer.  Gosh, I spent a lot this month.

Beside that, I just finished 1 HK drama series - Forensic hero 2.  Quite nice show, touching towards the ending.  But too many bomb scenes for this series, a bit unrealistic.  I complete reading about the super ah Ma, written by japanese artiste and translated in Mandarin.  It was quite light-hearted, yet Ah Ma taught abt the meaning towards the life in her own way and lifestyle.  I can't help but to agree how she treats her life in such simplicity and sincerity to the people around her.   Just got my hair cut yesterday, felt lighter and more refresh.  Though I lost my voice these 2 days due to cold.  Hopefully, my sensitive nose would not get worse when I'm in my winter trip.   O ya, I gotten my teeth for dental not long ago. Polish and clean :)  Good, I treat myself well enough.  Yesterday, at mango sale, I bought 3 tops, 2 will bring for winter trip.  Hee Hee, Happy...

What's next, Hmmm, I start to read Harry Potter last book again, and target to finish this month.  I bought 2 books to read after that, P.S I love u & secrets of the millionare mind.  I will decide later which one to read first.  Got to start to tidy 1 of the bedrooms, getting more messy.  If any of u have more ideas for me, let me know, ok?  

2 months files....

Supposely I plan to go for the early bodycombat class this morning.  Maybe I should go for the evening gym instead.  I just stay at home to do some readup, update about myself and catch up some emails.  

These days, I think i more often meet up my sister, niece and mum.  Spent an afternoon with them was nice, had lunch, seeing the small one enjoying herslf trying out shoes in the department store.  Of course, I go back home more often and get to see dad more.  He even tot I was retrenched.  Anyway, these are all the family quality time.  Yesterday, back at home, playing SG monopoly with my sister and niece and ended up the richest gal was my niece.  She own most of the MRT station and that was a constant revenue for her.  It so difficult to get her assets depriciate.

Recently over the weekend, I learnt to play magic cube.  Tiong-san and I bought a rubik's magic cube, cos the old one will be soon to gone case.   It reali worth the money, cos the feel to twist and turn was much much better and faster.  I have not master, the last few steps still need a few more tutitions from him.  By the way, Toy r' us now having promotion for magic cube and we bought it from there.

I'm looking forward to my trip for snow skii in South Korea, spending a white christmas there.  Praying my sensitive nose will not catch a cold over there.  Hopefully, I can take plenty pictures as well.  My camera had send for servicing and I have not got any news to get it back yet.  Looks like I got to give a call later, it has been almost 2 weeks, before jun went to thailand.
