Early wake up...

あぁ、、、、今は朝の４時。
なんで、土曜日にこんなに早く目が覚めてしまうの？

身体も、心もクッタクタなのに、、、
あまりのストレスで、起きてしまうの。

仕事は順調、単に責任と量がOverloadなだけ。
常に頭が張ってて、
眠りたい。休みたい。けれど、できないの。

こんな朝早く目覚めたら、日本やColoradoなら山に写真撮りに行ったり、スノボ行ったり、釣りに行ったりするのにな。
早朝一番のBakaryもいいね。ドイツならFresh marketも出てるかな？
Laosならお坊さんのお経の声を聞きに行くのもいいね。

朝は好き。誰にも内緒で素敵な空気を味わえるから。
シンガポールでのこんな時間、どうしたらいいのかしら？

Dear John

I remember how much I cried...
I remember how much my heart ached...

It was one of the book you can't stop crying while the book is open.
"Dear John" written by Nicholas Sparks

Just got to learn that the story has been into movie and just has released this weekend in Singapore.

Do I wanna watch the movie version?
Do I stay with the book?

mmmmmmm.....difficult decision, when I have very good impression from the book.

Sunshining Kitchen

I've got a very nice cabinet builder who visits my blog some times :)
Today, as it was Chinese New Year holiday, I stayed at home and baked a bread.
And I thought it would be so much nicer having bright kitchen like the picture.

My bread turned out as a bread!
Just like below.
It was hard and crunchy than the one you would buy at store.
But certainly it was fun to make it at home!



In the afternoon, I practiced my Ukulele and took a nap.
Such a nice relaxing last day of holiday :)

Oh, beginning of the holiday, I went to Bintan island for their famous Spa.
It was reeeeeeeaaaally amazing!
I would even say that was the best massage I've ever had!

Oyster Paradise vs Detox

4 of Oyster lovers went for oyster bar one night.
We just kept smiling and eating Oysters!
2 of them were competing how much they love oyster and showing off how much they can eat.
At the end, they admired each other "I've never met anyone who love oyster like me! You are great!" "Oh, I thought I am the real oyster lover, but you too!!!"
*smile and built complete oyster friendship here*

Everyone had more than 30 pieces each:)
Including fried oyster, it would be more :P
It was tasty and hard to resist!!!

2days after, things started...when I was getting ready for work.
I didn't feel good, and on the train it got worth...
At the office,my face was already dead pale, I felt like vomitting...

My closest colleague told me the possibility of food poison from Oyster.
I went to see doctor and was told that is food poison from Oyster!!!
Uggggggrrrh, then I dragged my body to the end of the east of Singapore island...
I had really high fever, body ache, striking headache... I was groaning out loud on the bed, rolling left and right.
I thought I would die...

At night I found out rest of 3 Oyster lovers got sick too...
Doctor reported to the designated organization.
Weeks after, the restaurant came to visit our office and appologized sincerely.

It happened in January and I thought it was the detox to reset my body and mind!
It was a lesson and made me appreciate how healthy I am now!

My home town, Nagaoka

For people who has been to my home town, Nagaoka for you to remember.
For people who hasn't been to my home town, Nagaoka for you to imagine.

This is what we see when we arrive to Nagaoka :)
Someone said Nagaoka is quiet sleepy town, do you see that ;P

Knitting

Even on the warm island, I could enjoy making this for my nieces!!
They loved this Christmas gift very much!

Christmas in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Japanese celebrate New Year as family gathering, like Christmas for Western people.
My plan was to go back home for New Year.

So, on Christmas, I went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital city to spend some time with good Friend of mind and her family and family friends.

It was my 2nd time to visit Kuala Lumpur to her place.
Last time, I didn't have enough time to explore their pride of many good dishes.

This time, I met one dish which brought me to the perfect world of food harmony.
It's just one bowl of noodle.
No fancy looking.
But but but! YOU WILL BE AMAZED how perfect the bowl of the noodle is!!!








Their noodle with some dried ingredients on top, mix with the half boiled egg, and their incredibly tasty chili!!!
Wow wow wow, it makes me mouth watering!!!

Anybody who is going to KL, ask me for more detail!!!
Not me, but my friend can tell ;P
Thank you to my dear frined who has invited me and fed great foods there!!!!
