hello people. yeah, yeah, i know i’ve been neglecting my blog. but things have been pretty hectic lately despite the fact that i am jobless (technically). of course, it doesn’t help that i’ve fallen sick. not getting much sleep, being unemployed and slacking away, and eating a whole bunch of deep fried food without drinking much fluids has contributed to that.
things i did over the past week:
- signed the papers with HDB. i would be starting work this coming monday. good luck to me!
- did the mandatory medical checkup for the new job. found out that my blood pressure is slightly lower than desired.
- enjoyed a nice swedish massage. the masseuse was freakishly strong for a woman! mental note: start going for massages and spa treatments regularly.
- realised that nothing beats having a cold beer on a sunny afternoon with the sea breeze caressing your face. not having a care in the world helps. discovered a great pub this way. it’s a german place at vivocity called “brotzeit”.
- taught web design to a bunch of people.
- did web design, of course.
- watched the new movie, tmnt. it sucked. that’s two hours of my life i’m never getting back.
- checked out the new manhattan fish market at central, clarke quay. the food wasn’t spectacular, but i liked the ambience. you get to dine al fresco style two levels up by the river.
- other restaurants i went to: the rice table (orchard), nydc (wheelock place), nihon mura (revenue house), al dente trattoria (great world city), bakerzin (vivocity), modesto’s (vivocity)
right. that’s a quick roundup for the past week. i’m gonna run some errands and get more work done. be back soon!

Wow Veron, looks like you are the kind that gets unperturbed when things get rough, good thing about low BP is that when you get angry, your BP goes up… to the normal level!
