All it takes is a while.

"I guess after awhile of ignoring, we get tired of being angry and instead we feel sad. We get reminded once in awhile why we're not talking in the first place, but there comes a point where there's no more anger..

Just disappointment."

3rd day at SOSD


Yesterday was my 3rd day at the shelter and I'm slowly beginning to experience how things are being done everyday. 

For the first time, I got to walk Sharky (as pictured above) and she always wanted to head back into the shelter. There was once she resisted so hard that I could see how much I lacked of confidence as well as the determination to push her forward. 

If I could, I really do want to be confident like others too.. 

On a happier note, I got to walk another dog, White Socks with the supervision of Vanessa and the feeling of being in sync with your dog while walking is truly a wonderful feeling and it's as if your mind suddenly blanked out from all areas and you're just focusing on walking. 

Walking your dog is indeed a great way to clear your mind. :)

One year, one month.


Met up with BunnyBoi yesterday despite the rocketing PSI readings & we headed over to Crystal Jade for late lunch as I read on Tammy's website that TM's outlet are having promotion for their dimsum so we went to check it outzzz.

Here's what we ordered!


Fried carrot cake - I like that the cake has a really nice after taste though the texture seems to be quite chewy for me. 


Roasted pork dry noodles - omggg... Please don't order their dry noodles! I didn't quite like that their noodles tasted bitter and was hoping that they came with chilli like the usual dry noodles we eat at hawkers, but it came with thick gravy as shown.. I'm not sure if its oyster sauce gravy? Definitely not a to-order but on a tastier note, their roast pork is juicy, soft and crispy at the right places!


Clockwise from left : custard buns (was hoping more fillings could be stuffed in 3/4 of the time I was eating the bun instead), siew mai, steamed prawn dumplings and chive dumplings (all of which were tasty and sweet as their fillings were generous).


& finally... Aloe Vera with osmanthus & honey for dessert to cool ourselves down from the nasty haze these few days! 

I really liked this dessert!! Am I the only one who thinks that aloe Vera is tasteless instead of bitter? I can't taste any bitterness in it even though he said its bitter!? I think it's easy to make this dessert too! Just add honey, osmanthus and aloe Vera and you're good to go! Shall try making it someday! 

& after all that we've ordered, the bill came up to S$22.40! It's good to drop by during the promotion time from 2.30pm - 5pm, but I'm sure that elsewhere is cheaper, tastier and more dishes could be ordered!
