Techkie House - Citrus - Curtin - New Tanjong Seafood

Friday! 8th August 2008. Said to be the luckiest day yet. I woke up really early today and got myself prepared to attend two opening ceremonies. One is Techkie House and the other is Citrus Restaurant.

First stop was Techkie House. Did not manage to get a lot of pictures, but i did manage to get teamGD's and pEi's flower which was sent to Techkie House.

Full size picture.


Notice the name... it should be teamGD not teamGO what a disasterous typo

Next one was of course Citrus Cafe & Restaurant. This opening ceremony was more crowdy than the one in Techkie House but both are on the same scale though.

3 ribbon bouquets, first one occupied by Kelvin (owner), YB Andy Chia, and Hazel (Mrs. Owner). YB Andy reaching out his arms asking when do we cut the ribbons? Lol.

Getting ready to cut the ribbons...

Hooray~! Citrus is officially open!

After a meal at Citrus, chit-chatting with MeowMeow and Hazel the Mrs. Owner, I made a U-turn back to Techkie House for a second visit. After the second visit, I was really exhausted as I did not get enough sleep the night before so I made a beeline straight for home.

When I got home, took a shower and dropped myself into bed. Just when I was about to fall into a deep deep nap, my phone rang... it was a call from campus, telling me that i had to go to campus as they need to reassign my units because, apparently i got more subjects exempted. So this semester, I am taking... Legal Framework 100, Introduction to Human Resource 200, System Analysis and Design 150, and Accounting (Managerial) 101.

After that is done, I went home again and prepared myself for the night's food hunt at Tanjong. Arrived there a bit early than the rest. I don't know how to write it in words so I will let pictures do the talking.

Curtin, Curtin Groupie & Thursday's Lunch!

Well, i have not been able to blog about me starting school yet again.... so i am going to write about it briefly in this post. Class started last week.... i started late... enrolled late... almost everything late... so i am kind of a bit behind in terms of notes.. books... what to do... where to do this and that.. which i have very little knowledge about.

So far i have attended my Management lecture and tutorial, Legal Framework lecture and tutorial and also Marketing Lecture where i got embarrassed in front of like.. one hundred people for coming in late. Oh well, that is what i get for being late to class. Haven't been in Accounting class yet.. hope i can register in time.

First week in, groupie assignments and individual assignments are already piling up. OMG. This is like my worst nightmare!! I hate assignments!! Oh well, that is university life.

Roughly that is what happened, skip skip all those bla bla bla..... then yesterday's lunch was ... briyani rice with beef rendang! YUMMY. Had it at Ala-Mak in Piasau area... for those who don't know where it is, it is on the same row with Sea Horse Bistro.

I'm tired of typing and thinking of what to post. So pictures are as follows.

Briyani Rice with Beef Rendang. SUPERB!!

What are Promises?

Today at this hour, i found out myself that promises made by anyone are just mere words to please one's heart. I have wondered a long long time and i still can not find the answer to this mystery. If you do not intend to keep a promise, then why do you make them in the first place?

I can not say that i have seen a lot of different people and different behaviors, but if there is anything i hate most, it is not keeping a promise. To me, promises are just like giving out money to people whom you trust will return it back to you but when a person breaks that promise or does not even come close to keeping the promise, what should you do? I have come across a lot of situations where promises are given but not kept.

In the end, the one who ends up broken and disappointed is myself. I have thought about this problem and i have been finding a way to solve it. I do not wan to feel disappointed and broken every time these situations happen. Eventually, i have come to a conclusion that in order to prevent the same occurrences, it comes down to one self.

You see, when you let someone give a promise, you are being soft. Most of the time, someone gives you a promise because they think you would let up and be soft when you hear something that you like. That is what it really is. They are exploiting the softness within you and taking advantage of your good side.

I do not know if it is the best way. But i am surely going to try. Maybe then, empty promises do not work on me. Of course, by then, i would be an entirely different person than the one that i am now. Good or bad, i will never know till i change and try it out.....
