Toilet affair & food - shiokanathan

This will be a fairly lengthy post since I have not updated for quite some time since the last one. a! Let's begin with the unforgetable experience in the toilet..
After watching the performance by students from Bhakti Luhur, I took the liberty to hitch on the refreshments provided. Not much though, until Uncle Alan introduced me to one of the Indonesian dessert which is green in colour with coconut fillings in it. Shiok la. That was merely the lead up to the exhilarating experience in the toilet beside Book-Link. Here's what happened in chronological order:
I entered the toilet and met the cleaner
Aunt: "Do it slow..."
Elgin: "Huh??"
Aunt: "Take your time, do it clean... (*smiles*)"
Elgin: "ok aunty, I will aim."

That made me burst out in laughter while I proceeded on. It just didn't make much sense to me how she could have said those words to me! I have a couple of conclusions...

1. She's too tired from all that cleaning and must have felt exasperated. The only option left was to educate the users.
2. She's too disillusioned as a cleaner.
3. I'm on candid camera.

That left me with a smile as I went on in the day.

Then came the food factor today! I must say it was satisfying. Ever since I tried the Fried Fish Soup in Potong Pasir 2 wks back, I have been looking out for such a standard wherever I go. Finally, the search has ended. Introducing the Fried Fish Bee Hoon from Hong Kong Street! -TaDa-

This is a picture of satisfaction with tim sum, carrot cake, teh peng and my eating buddy, uncle glen rawks. This picture, of course, includes the search for Fried Fish Soup except that this one comes with Bee Hoon. Awesome, $5 only, cheapcheapchip. Today's dish made me feel like they poured too much XO. But my eating buddy said it was great. And I agreed. Thank u for the time, I know you're busy. But hey, we all got to eat right...
Satisfaction no.1
Then came Alele and Bro Lan. Lately we've been eating. Although Bro Lan has cut his rice intake by almost half, he succumbed to dinner at Vines and then the French toast at Hong Kong Cafe. All thanks to the recommendation of Alele, we each had a sumptous dinner... whoopi! Too bad G wasn't there...
I haven't done this in a long time... not with people like them, and I enjoyed it! =]
Satisfaction no.2
Here's the best part, Satisfaction no.3.
Toast. French toast with banana and ice cream - Yummy. Ice Teh Peng, but it's called "Si Mud Tea" and it's highly recommended in Hong Kong Cafe. Well, I have also been on a lookout for nice teh pengs in Singapore. One of which is located at the kopitiam beside AMK Courts. Now, found in HK Cafe.

Mannn....talk about slimming down, I can drop that idea with all my eating buddies surrounding me. Surely the people we surround ourselves with will influence us in one way or another. Therefore, pls choose wisely. "To each his own"... but that might not always be right. I beg to differ because we are often too short sighted and easily bought over by peer pressure.

So how then can we make decisions that are right and honouring to the calling given us? I don't know. But do you know that you can seek out the answers?

I bought a new bible and I'm so happy. That's all.
