Top of the World, Swissotel

Do you have something you worked so hard for, felt so proud of, as if you are on the top of the world in that mini realm of yours; yet at the very next moment, you came crumbling down because of a comment made by someone? Someone who is important to you, but is not able to see things in your perspective and came out with comments that seem so effortlessly hurtful. 

Life, isn't that easy after all. Learn to take things in your stride and believe in yourself. Never let someone put you down. For one day, you will emerge stronger, and the scars from the battles will be your little trophies to keep.

View from Swissotel Suite, 65th level during Earth Hour

A colleague of mine booked a room from Swissotel recently. Lucky her got a free upgrade to a suite and this was how we got a magnificent view of Singapore during Earth hour from the tallest hotel in Singapore. The view was simply breathtaking, and cars instantly transformed into mini lego toys. This is must-have experience once in a life time. Thanks Su Li! (:

Bathtub shot is a must-have!

Not forgetting the galore of home-cooked food with ♥ and the famous roast duck from Yan Chuan!

Soo Kee Noodle House

It has been a while since I last went to Lau Pa Sat (or “old market” in the Hokkien dialect), Singapore's first wet market that dates back over 150 years ago.

With the rapid commercialisation of hawker food in the past few decades, I once felt that Lau Pa Sat also fell into the trap of expensive, and 'normalised' food quality; except that in my last trip, the renovation done to the place managed to revive the nostalgia years and of course, attracted some food stalls worth visiting.

Dinner was Soo Kee Noodle House's fishball noodles.

$3.00 for a bowl of fishball noodles (plus additional discount if you have a Kopitiam card)

It was good. A no surprise when cooked with lard, paired with smooth quality fish balls. The thin noodles ("mee kia") was not the usual, it's a little thicker giving it a chewy bite. While the sauce tend to be a little generous, I felt that it would be better if I had ordered the noodles with chilli instead.

For the price, it's worth a try (★ ★ ★ ✰ ☆)
 

Live Life.

Took some time to re-setup the blog. All the time trying to make sure the visuals are aesthetically-pleasing, the photos are aligned in a precise angle - argh, the usual perfectionist within me acting up. 

Now that this little space of mine is done. Hopefully it provides a mini escapade for me to document snippets of my trying-to-sound-interesting-but-still-boring life. 

A relatively short post, but would like to end off with this quote by Hilary Cooper,
