The Apple's Diary!

Qn: How long did your courtship last? *think think* The truth is if you need to think about your courtship period, then it means your courtship is over. Whether in a 3 years relationship or a 9 year relationship; whether it is a newly wedded couple or a married-for-10 years couple, courtship should never cease. This was a serious advice given by our Pastor during our marriage prep course. We take it seriously because we know if we would want to survive for next 5 or even 6 decades, we need to really play it up. Tomorrow is our Date Night. We are going to catch . Anime, video games theme songs and more, playing live in the University Cultural Centre. I hope it would be a wonderful evening. But the recent work stress has left me quite brittle. I find myself susceptible to flu virus. I thought I just recovered from a bout of flu 2 weeks ago. Just now while doing the ironing, my nose started to become runny. Perhaps is the lack of sleep or should I say the lack of quality sleep that is lo...

Getting a headache almost everyday. 2 weeks ago, I was given a day and half medical leave. Then last week, I started to have headache. It is what people termed it as tension headache. Caused by tension. For this week, 3 days in a row, I'm plagued by headache. It is annoying and really uncomforting. I tried to relax myself, tell myself not to be too worried with all the work problems. But at the back of my mind, the working image kept on re-surfacing. Oh dear!

My darling is finally back from Sydney after a week. He showed me the photos he took and told him his experience. What caught my surprise was that their mode of transportation included ferry. First up, since the hotel he stayed and the place he needed to go for training was quite a distance away, he bought their MyMulti, equivalent to our EZ Link pass. The train stations and the multiple interconnections platform reminded me of my visit to Perth as student. While back then, we took ferry to cross over to King Park, it didn't strike me that in other cities, ferry was a mode of transportation for them too. get your direction right with this map Darling told me from his hotel to the office he was working, it was a 45 minutes train ride. Can you imagine? It is the distance of us traveling from the west to the east of Sunny Island. one of the many ferry station s Traveling in ferry seemed to be quite a good way to unwind after a long day of work. landscape of Sydney And how can you forg...

I'm so glad it is already past mid-week which can only means that Weekend is coming. And also Darren is coming home. Home Alone Season 2 is none the better than the previous out-of-town experience. Just that this round, the work really keep me busy busy the whole day. And night time seems to have cut short. Wishing Saturday will arrive sooner than before and my dreadful headache be gone. Perhaps this time round I will get a Koala hug. Picture from Google Images

Lamington is an Australia cake. I had my first taste at Raelene's birthday party. She's an Australian. At my first glance of the cake, I thought it was some Malay's kueh. Then I overheard a lady exclaimed that it was a piece of delicious cake. Immediately my ear pricked up. Cake? You mean the kueh lookalike is a cake? And so it was. A sponge cake layered with thick chocolate. Sprinkled a healthy dose of grated coconut. There you go... a Lamington cake is borned. I got my fix at Gloria Jean coffee house. They sell a decent piece of Lamington cake in chocolate or strawberry flavour at $2.50 each.

When it comes to certain food, I have my own preference. For the record, if I start to have a preference for that particular food, it means that if I have to eat it, it must be from that place, that stall, that restaurant etc. Cantonese loves porridge, so am I. In order of preference, this will be where I go if I need to satisfy my craving. 1. Soon Lee Porridge Located at Clementi Central Market & Hawker Centre , the stall was there when I was in primary school and until now, the stall is still around and the standard never drop. Now closed for hawker centre renovation. To satisfy my craving, I found another stall that sells equally good porridge. 2. Scallop & Ginko Nut Porridge A1 porridge now operates as a franchise or chain stores. My first encounter was at Great World City food court. The second round was at Raffles City Shopping Centre. Besides good porridge, they serve claypot rice too. 3. If you have the dollars to spend, you can have your sliced fish and abalone porrid...
