Wet Wednesday

On a rainy wednesday night relaxing my chilly night @ Wine Company; Nice ambience, sweet wine, treasured company, in-depth conversion, tasty food, and good service. A little of indulgence!!


I love this wine!

Who is Joe?

Finally, finally, I met up with JT this evening. We headed off to my discount place till 8+pm and thereafter, it's dinner time for the hungry souls. Somewhere off Alexander Village, I met a guy named Joe and I must recommend him to all my dear friends. I believed you all will love him to the bits. What a zestful discovery!!! :)

He is none other than the great one behind the apron @ Joe's Kitchen. Really mouth watering Thai food, gosh....... I have become an ardent lover of his Tom Yum Seafood Soup, Thai Prawn Cake and Mango Salad... There are other dishes I have yet to try. Oh no, my torrid love affair with Joe & his Kitchen has been exposed. *giggles*



Mango Salad, Tom Yum Seafood Soup, Green Curry Beef and Spicy KangKong.


Thai Prawn Cake, Stuffed Chicken Wings and Pad Thai.

Counting down

Just 6 more days and I am officially off from my current job, a short and I meant a short break and again, I am off to a fresh place, different challenges, new colleagues & boss. More exposure is the key factor for this choice of mine. :)

6...5...4...3...2...1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woebegone....

Something strikes me to write this dolorous poem tonight.

Nights of sadness,
Nights of silence,
Nights of solemnness,
Nights of sorrow,
Nights of staidness,
Nothing more nothing less,
No tears from grievance,
Not before,
Not now,
Not after,
But only and only,
if you only know.

My...little black book......

There was a time you and I were everything
You'll never know the days and nights I spend imagining
Yesterday is the only place
We'll ever know oh oh
In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You're always there to remind me
It wasn't just a dream
And baby in my heart you will always be
Picked up the phone
Didn't know
What I was gonna do
I heard your voice
I had no choice
I hang up on you
Yesterday is the only place
....

You're always there to remind me
How it used to be
But baby in my heart
You're still a part of me
There's no future living in the past
You can dream but you can never go back
Oh no you will always be there
In my little black ... in my little black book
....

We're worlds apart
You're in my heart
And there you'll always be
In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You'll always be
A part of me
You always be
In my little black book

War of hearts....

I could aim but I could not fire
Got a bullet to spare to kill my desire
Who's calling the shots
One of us must make the peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease
I'm loaded, don't know where to point this thing
It's a sin how we hit where it hurts
Who's calling the shots
One of us must end this masquerade
To have or to have not
Let's heal the wounds that we've made
It's a war of the hearts
It's a war of the hearts


Got a bullet to spare, don't wanna send it your way
Who's calling the shots
One of us must make the peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease
It's a war of the hearts
It's a war of the hearts
I'm loaded, don't know where to point this thing
It's a sin how we hit where it hurts
One of us got to end this masquerade
Got to heal the wounds that we've made
I've got a bullet to spare, don't wanna send it your way
If you wanna end it
If you wanna end it just say
It's a war of the hearts
It's a war of the hearts

Oinky Year

To my dearest family and friends,


Wishing you joy, happiness, good health and prosperity in this oinky oinky year! Gong xi gong xi!


Love always,

So Close

I had a close encounter with nature, to be exact, an insect. Since young, I have developed insect phobia. I simply freaked out when an insect come close to me. To many, insects are tiny in size, what kind of fear would a human of decent size carry. Well, just like the show 'Fear Factor', I believed everyone has one, if not more fears.


I wouldn't want to complain or whine but even so, please let me do for now, as it's my fear for insect. I was driving to work this morning, 'enjoying' the jammed packed roads and almost always red traffic lights. As usual, before cutting lane, I would look at my side mirror. I was stunned by the 'thing' that was lying on my side mirror. I almost freaked out, luckily my colleague was with me and he calmed me down.


This green insect journeyed with me all the way to office. Along the traffic stops, I began to enjoy its companionship though with least liking towards it. Observing its colour, body parts and moves, I began to adapt to its presence. But still, the last thing I would do is to touch it. During a traffic stop, I decided to capture this beautiful moment of the green friend on my side mirror. Till now, I couldn't forget this green friend of mine, no longer enemy but just an acquaintance.

New found acquaintance

Moving on

A few close friends of mine would know that I have been running around like a mad woman for the past two weeks. Finally, I am back to the normalised Ru Lin, but may be not for long. Soon to come again, the mad-alised and travel-ised Ru Lin.

Thank God for the opportunities, overwhelming and simply unbelievable to certain extent. The feeling of being torn in between two almost too good to be true options was unbearable. Like I told a close friend, it's not comparing a rotten apple with a good apple. In my situation, all constitutes to the comparisons between good apples and good apples. A fine line drawn so close between reality and air castle.

Decision has been made, though other good opportunities were lost, I am moving on with my decision. :) Happy it shall be for now; in a state of ecstasy.
