This joint serves great Malay food. Must try is the Pattaya Fried rice, but do beware if you cannot take hot spicy food. Basically friend rice, with generous portion of chicken and peas, carrots and corn and chili padi, wrapped in a steaming hot egg omelette! All time- favourite of mine...

Nice little eating place at Far East plaza. If you ordered a main course by itself, not as filling as you ordered with a soup and a drink. When I went 2 Fridays back, I ordered a Soup of the day (Cream of mushrooms - not too thick, just nice), with Fish and chips (at first I thought the breaded fillet looks a bit small, but turns out the portion is just right), with a cup of Darjeeling to wash it down (like the tea cup, but $1.80 for the tea was a bit overpriced, I think).

They got fried ice-cream and stufff, but didn't tried that, because don't want to overstuff myself.

Price range: S$3.00 onwards, if you just want a main dish.

eh, went there with 2 other friends. They didn't have their famous corn bread, due to " unforeseen circumstances". But they offered to replace it with an additional side dish.

The service was alright, though we did waited a while when we asked for the bill. And they dun serve water. The chicken size seems to have shrunk, but the sides made the meal a filling one. One note of caution though, do not ask the for the BBQ chicken pita combination. My friend ordered it, but can't finished it (and he's a GUY!). Tried a taste of it, more like BBQ sauce was the main dish, not the chicken...

Polite Japanese




on the power of His revelations...


Just came back from a dip at the public swimming pool. Think I didn't stretched or do enough warm up at last Sunday's badminton game*, right calf muscles** feeling a bit of strain. Swam about 15 laps^. Was thinking about some stuff during the midst of swimming, and suddenly the Lord planted something in my head. Like how life is sometimes like swimming. You float in the water, trying to get somewhere. Sometimes your feet don't touch the ground, so you have to keep moving around to stay either afloat or moving in a direction. You may feel alone, because most of the time, swimming is a solo thingie, people can't swim for you. Yet what keeps us afloat, nay, alive is the fact that we are continually breathing in and out air.


The thought that strikes me is that even though at times, life can be lonely and hard, where you have to keep paddling to go somewhere; as long we breathe in the Spirit of the Living God, He will carry us through the waves of life. Be it in still and calm waters, or through the choppy big waves, so long as the Holy Spirit works in us, all will be well.


After reaching home from a relaxing slow walk, turned on the laptop to check mail and write out my application letters. Realised I hadn't turned to the Scriptures, so head to Biblegateway.com and see what the verse of the day is. And lo and behold, it is:


“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. ”- Leviticus 19:18


Been reflecting on some stuff. Am glad for this verse, which ask me to focus back upon the love of God's people, even when they don't agree or understanding with what I am doing in certain areas in my life.


Writing this as a testimony of His goodness. Do give thanks with me, and I pray He'll speak to you this day as He had spoken to me.

* or as my friend suggest, could be just because I'm getting old and unfit from lack of exercise.

^ 1 lap = 1 times across length of the pool.

Man, my friend told me about this a few weeks back, but I didn't check it out. Not till another friend showed it to me about this, then did I crack up over it. The japanese are weird...
