Very true and I am pleased to say I have let go of those negative people in my life. For these past 4 years, they have been with me, or rather I have been with them, and when it comes to real, serious situation, then I am able to see their true colours and I thank god for these. Yes, I have spent 4 years but its worth it. Totally worth it to see through all of them. (Will blog more on these when I have the time)

And it makes me happy.

And I am thankful, to be able to wake up to a new beautiful morning, everyday.

Lim Seng Lee Braised Duck Rice

On a food hunt (again).
 photo file_zps2c41f3c1.jpg

On a very very hot day...

 photo file_zps703b4a7c.jpg

Having a Iced Ai-Yu (with lime) is totally heaven for us!

 photo file_zps4a3f7f17.jpg

Here comes the main character to our lunch! This... is the BEST BRAISED DUCK I have ever eaten. I swear. Since Kelvin brought me there some 5-6 years ago, I was hooked and it is near his house, like 5 minute drive. Its is an old shop, with very old school chairs. But you can see all the very branded cars driving up, trying very hard to park at this very minimal (5-6) parking lots, and these rich businessman stepped out of the car with their tai tai/family, walking into this old school shop to eat duck rice.

Close up of the duck meat for you to drool.

 photo file_zps0322b30b.jpg

Would always order eggs & kangkong to go along.

 photo file_zpsede99d25.jpg

A meal for 2, with eggs, kangkong & drinks, and additional rice cost us about S$20-25, which is very very worth it. Really. Everybody must try.

A packet of Binggrae Strawberry Milk (S$1.30 from Shine Korea Supermarket) for breakfast because I wil be having a lot of food today, so must control a bit on breakfast and in between breaks!

Opening ceremony to this Etude House eye primer that XH got for me from her Korea Honeymoon! And its good!! Love gel kind of (i'm not sure if its gel) primer, because its not sticky! Imagine u apply eye primer on eyelids and your eyelids feel like sticking together, from double eye lids to single. DAFUG.
