These Singaporeans were not civilized, trash everywhere, on every table and all over the floor, spills of tea/coffee.  I really hate ppl without table manners.  It was like a seminar for kindergarten children, good thing that they didn't need us to wipe poo off their ass.

It's not going to be the last, glad that I am out of it by end Feb.

The world can be cruel to me, but I'll be kind to myself.

Green tea latte with granola before going to work.

Walking down the stairs painless is perhaps the only joy in life now.

Topless 4 to 6 packs running across Prinsep Street.  Not the first time, it's my "work benefit".

Then, what's waiting was about 50 wine glasses for washing.

At that point of time, I didn't if I should go, or continue to stay as wine glass washer.  Then I decided to run for my life over the first weekend in Feb.

Had dinner ta bao from Yoshinoya, so so only.

Darren back from Shanghai, it's a business trip which they didn't make the best out of it.

Heard they engaged 2 new clients though.

Brought Grumpy Zoa out to show my gf.

Everything put together was very bulky in a big pouch.

Came to SuperRare to see the Winter collection.

First no money, 2nd house no space.  Bought a scarf, happy enough.

Gf brought me to this Korean eatery at Killiney Road.

The place was small, a bit run down but the food was so good!

We had seafood soup, and korean minced meat noodles.

Noodles were QQ, couldn't find fault with the minced pork sauce, seafood soup was rich and sweet, very satisfying.

Giant dumplings were packed with raw garlic, so it's either mad love or hate.

To me it's a unique in taste, I will just have to go back again.

Fried chicken so sinful, the sauce that covered the chicken was finger licking good.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Gf recalled 8 years ago, she said she really couldn't afford a bong.  And now, being financially stronger, she even bought me one.

T______T

Please.... one or two BigBang concert tix, so that I can live.

Darren bought me a hand cream with my birthdate from Shanghai.  I wonder if it was him or his gf's ideal.  Anyway, I appreciate his thoughtfulness.

All dressed up for party, grave actually.

The people party till 10.30pm.  I was made to wash 100 over wine glasses.  Left the club at 11.30pm, submitted taxi claim, still haven't got back my money...

Being able to walk down the stairs is the happiest thing in life at the moment.

Recently slight pain on the right knee, but still way way way better than last time where I needed a hand rail or walking stick and panadol.

The club ordered a big chinese tea set.

The "boss" said my display was ugly.  I am not a professional display artist, neither do I have any knowledge on brewing of chinese tea.  Actually at this point of time, I don't care anymore.

Precious non-working Sat.  Old man made breakfast for himself and Luis, both woke up earlier. 

I made this plate for myself, then kiap everything into a sandwich for Darren.

I told him not to buy this kind of bread, he said I can chose not to eat.

My sisters insisted that he loves me, hur hur...

Never mind, life goes on, our dryer broke on us.

We sending cleaned damped laundry to a laundry Mart to dry.  It was so heavy I was afraid he might dislocate his old bones.

Had steam fish for dinner, not cheap yet weirdly not satisfying.

First month of the year was over.

I was busy but at the same time seemed that I had done nothing.
