Chinatown Steamboat

Had a wonderful time of feasting with a couple of friends last night...
It was eccentric dining steamboat we had... eating heartily in the midst of many people walking past beside you every single second when you were lavishing the wide spread of food available :x

I had a very wonderful time indulging myself with many many prawns :D

hahaha the shop opens from 11am till 5am in the morning daily, we were having this thought, like how about taking a day off in one of our weekdays and come here to eat the moment they open the stall till they close shop ? hahaha it will be out of this world...

ok personal life event aside, i read from yesterday's newspaper that ebola has resurfaced itself in the philippines-Manila. Now if you do a simple search on the word ebola, you will find out that it has 4 different genre, namely the Ebola-Ivory Coast, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Zaire and Ebola-Reston... It was reported that this was the first time the virus has been discouvered outside of monkey and this time round, in our food-producing animal; pigs... it quoted saying that the Ebola Reston strain was found last October in tissue samples tested in the US from six pigs from farms in Northern part of the philippines.... so i was wondering what else can we eat? Have mad-cow diseases, Bird-flu virus and now!! PIGS with ebola... It's time we convert ourselves to vegetarians... Saying about Bird-flu virus, China; Yanjiao (Hebei) has issued a bird-flu alert after a woman died of the virus...

Back in my mind was, what causes all these viruses and diseases? In the past, do they exist? Many medical experts have predicted that the word evolution or transmutation are the causes of these viruses or diseases... *Sighzz

New Year new beginning!

Have been thinking of furthering my studies to a higher level so as to fetch a decent/better salary heights. This year round, many people have said that it's a good time to go study since the economy is terribly bad to worst or even worsen dramatically in the months to come...
In my field of work in a Consultancy firm, i have received feedback that many coys are freezing wages while some in bad shape, have decided to cut wages and furthermore, some are actually axing so as to cut down the costs... overhead costs etc etc... ok shall not go further into this...

in economics term, when there's an increase in unemployment rate, there will be deflation... but as we can see, things aren't cheap nowadays... was browsing through strait times, then realized that the costs of the newspaper had actually increased... as i flipped through the paper, i came to the NTUC fairprice page where they show case all the good deals... was scanning through roughly and come to know that all prices of things have actually gone up... with the economy in such a bad shape, can't someone do something about it?

nevertheless, i just hope that everyone is healthy and in good shape... no matter what happens, do not fall sick. Medical attention isn't going to be cheap... and they are going to up the prices...

*Sighingz
Life is getting tougher and tougher each passing month... year...

Since i'm touching on health issue, i shall share this...
Food additives may make lung tumour grow.. so what is/are this/these food additives?
From the Mind your Body newspaper, it says that phosphorous-contatining food additives which are found in soft drinks and processed food ( meaning sausages/cheese) my favourite, may lead to tumours... so people who are cheese or sausages lovers like me, do take care :x

Maybe i shall have a new year new resolution, to update this blog of mine with health awareness issues and digital stuff.. it'll be cool... ya with my poor lousy english though :D

Oh yes, almost forgotten to touch on my studies... as i was saying, i've been procrastinating... always been indecisive about my decision when it involved huge amount of money... yes studying... after many many months of thoughts and working in the same company, i have come to realize that i have to really go back to study to climb a few steps higher... there are many things which i'm unawared of, issues that i don't understand and many many things i don't really know... i've decided that i have to do something about it and i enrolled myself in a degree course... hopefully it's be a fruitful one for me :S
