thoughts on my mind .... ( II )

been running back and forth to the hospital this entire week .. and yes! im almost worn out , practically nod off anywhere i can but whenever i head to my bed at night for a proper sleep , i cant ... probably im still a little worried sick over what had happen recently , in fact there's so much things on my mind that i have to contemplate and settle .. for sure i will get everything done so that the rest of my family members can be at ease .
and i strongly believe , no matter how hard this is going to be im very sure that im able to make it thru ! anyway its really time for me to payback & complete my duty as a son .. =)
good news is he's current condition has been stabilize ( god bless ! ) but of course there's still a long way to go after his discharge till his full recovery but i will sure go thru this period with him mentally and physically together :>
lastly , i m really grateful with appreciation to all my friends , relatives and even people whom i do not know spending their precious minute to concern me too ... secondly im definitely not blogging to get sympathy or attention from people but just thought of sharing my thoughts here .. anyway im coping well now .. and again ... life still moves on ... stay happy & god bless ! =D

thoughts on my mind ....

im probably going thru the hardest time right now .... thou i appear fine and calm .

things always happen when u least expect ... that's why i always tell the people around me to treasure their love ones , family & never ever take them for granted , just take a min to think about what i had said ... and probably you will live with no regrets .. cuz you will never know what will happen the next min .. i know this may sound a little old fashion way to express myself but somehow i just hope no one have to go thru this ..

just a little upset and wonder what he did to deserve to go thru this at his age , guess things always happen for a reason ... i thought i could already provide him a better life since im no longer a kiddo but yet this mishap happen .. in fact he's so strong enough to suffer the pain and to endure all the hardship he's experiencing now, to me he is definitely braver than anyone else , therefore there's even a better reason for me to stay even stronger to handle my emotions well in order to have the ability to take care of my family well .. no matter how hard i will sure do my very best to give him a good life ..

nevertheless the only thing i hope for now is he's coping well and speed recovery ... & of cuz life still goes on ..

im so appreciative to my gang of frens who shower me with their concern & support too , i will be back soon =)

Lastly , i really wanna thank felix for his sweet token.. he should'nt have bought me this .. anyway most importantly i was a good host for the nite & u guys enjoyed =)



**********************************************************************************
haha , its not really a fiesta , just a small gathering cuz my parents was out of town and my place was available so thought of preparing some food for my gang of frens to feast out ( too bad benjamin unable to attend =< ) anyway thanks to my dearest friends ... sherlyn , felix and jeremy for making effort to turn up.. but they have to help me to clean up all the dishes before they leave ! lol !.. ( jus kidding =p) ..

self pic ( k ) of the day ..

Upgrade me !

look carefully ! thats not digital edited , that's a pic i snap using my camera haha , all thanks to my dearest " model " sherlyn for accommodating the repeated jumps directed by me to get the best shot ! haha , in fact this pic was taken weeks back but i kinda like the result so thought of sharing here , i will polish up my photography skills and show more thought-provoking pictures next time .. =D

to be honest i never felt so " free " ever since i started work , dunno if im too bored of my job or subconsciously hinting the need to seek for a new prospect ? ( im so guilty !!!! but i feel so stuck agrrrr ! ) anyway during my unproductive days im not totally switch off , been reading up, get inspirations in my work and of course sourcing ideas for my food creations too ...
its a long procedure to finalize and clinch a deal , to me its probably as bad as going to battle in a war especially during this slow moving period , somehow i still cant get into the right mood or to even cultivate some " motivation " that im lacking of now but it was ironic that i still manage to close one deal this week =P , probably its a sign that god is answering my prayers ?? haha nevertheless im hoping that its a good start for me .. please buck up duncan ! =P

never say No !

To most of my friends who know me , im probably be the very last person to hit to the gym , as i use to tell them the hassles and journey travelling there just to spend that few hours in a public overcrowded area working out compared to my usual achievable swimming and jogging sessions .. but guess what ? for no better reasons i actually sign up a membership for 2 years today after trying out in a trial for a week accompanied by my good fren benjamin whom will be my gym buddy too =) .. anyway pretty looking forward to it , hopefully to attain something good in both spiritually and physically , guess there will be a little slight change in my weekly activities now beside my heavy involvement in my work morever im so call " bonded " to my new goal that im going to work on soon , hopefully not too late , so no more excuses anymore lol ..

Duncan's Food Review ( 3 )

( Shiratama Kurian ) soft serve with kanten jelly , fruits , japanese dumpling & hokkaido red bean paste
( ice with chocolate and ice cream )

( Tri- colour Bento ) minced beef & pork , egg , vegetable in rice box


THE LOCATION
-----------------
MOF @ my izakaya at marina square

THE VIBE
-----------
simple decor and modern contemporary colours like chili red splashes over the wall with tinted black glass tables and wall paper finishing at walls and even ceiling , nothing impressive and spaces are quite constraint due to the limited area of the shop.

THE FOOD
------------

An Izakaya is a pub or restaurant commonly found in cities in Japan.
It's a popular hang-out for the working crowds, especially after a day's hard work.
Besides the popular pub culture in Japan, the Japanese are known to pay great attention to the quality of ingredients used in their foods.
Exquisite presentation is also synonymous in the Japanese food culture.
When it comes to Japanese desserts, especially the authentic ones, it all boils down to four ingredients - red bean, sesame, green tea and kinako powder (that is the Japanese soy bean powder). So wherever you go, it will usually be in these four flavors. And the nation's taste is so focused that these four flavors, the Japanese will only eat the best quality foods. For example, they are particular about the red beans; they only eat red beans from Hokkaido because the prefecture has the best water and soil conditions to cultivate the best quality red bean.
There are even little tips to eat kanten jelly ( is something like jellys that we eat in spore but more chewy and less sweet ) these series contain japanese kanten jelly at the bottom of the dessert . kanten jelly is made from the root part of plant and is rich in fibre , thus in japan , its believed to have slimming effect and its very healthy . while kanten jelly is totally unsweeten & tasteless , native japanese pour the sause ( either honey / black or white sauce ) over the kanten jelly generously before eating . MOF black sauce for the kanten jelly series is made from black prunes & black dates , both fruits aids digestion .
in general the selection offered here very much follows the style of Hokkaido as well as wide selection of the authentic japanese desserts thou many comments about the similarities to Azabu Sabo which is part of a successful chain of Japanese Restaurants that has its origins from the funky street of Azabu in Shinjuku district, where its flagship outlet was opened, and has since expanded to 59 outlets in Japan , Hong Kong , Taiwan and finally Singapore . Anyway i will sure give it a try soon =P

THE SERVICE
--------------
happen to be unsure of an item in the menu which we wanted to order therefore trying to get help from the staff but was shocked by one after another when they cant even explain whats exactly that item , poor knowledge on their own food products . its a pity .
