Jann's BLoG

Sleepless again. Or rather wakes up too early. Hate these moments, especially when i don't have a book by my side. Have not blog for almost a month. What have i done this month? Oh yes, Happy Birthday to myself. Don't even want to mention the number. What is my birthday wish? Well, is it too lame to say good health? Now, these don't sound too right. Should not be "oh yes".... . It is Happy happy Birthday & many happy returns!

Time flies when u are having fun. It's November already! Thanksgiving Party is round the corner. In fact time for all the festive's parties and to do's .. Not that we really need a reason to party. It seems that we have plenty all year round! Then there is the Hokkaido's trip to look forward to. And by Feb 2010, I would have completed the 4 main modules of my Fengshui course with Singapore Poly - Basic Science of Fengshui, Four Pillars and I Ching and ZhiWei Doushu. I signed up for Basic Science thinking more of placement Fengshui. But little did I know what to expect.. .. ICHing and Zhi Wei are all completely foreign to me. And now I am going to master it! Wow! Next is to garner the confidence to practice on friends :-0 Who wants to be my guinea pig? My dear Rachael told me about her shocking decision to change her career path. Shocking cos it was just after a session of one of those Take Charge of your own Life and NOt to be afraid of Changes type of seminar. Sh

It's a wild party when everyone, including the kiddos get on the table to dance. That's last nite Oktoberfest @ Brozeit, Vivo City. Most of the fotos are in facebook already.. what with about 4 or 5 cameras snapping away..we are never lack of reminders of the fun nite. Sexy legs Platter to feed 6 and more. Pork knuckles, sausages, hamburger patty, ribs & all the trimmings like sauerkraut, salads, wedges & bread. n more meat...or should i say, sausage?

Yea, i know, it's cliche but there are moments in your life that you encountered something that make u realised, hey I am very lucky. So lucky that u need to shout out to the world and tell everyone that u are so bless! Followed by an amen perhaps :-) I have that moment this morning. I witnessed first hand how rude a teenage girl was to her mum. And what more, in front of a stranger; me. I cannot mentioned name here, not that they will read the blog but still it's not nice. But it was at a client's place. It's common to have teenagers sleeping late on a weekend. "Was up all nite," according to the mum. Well mine does that too, so its nothing new. But unfortunately the mum had an appt with me to do some curtains. I need to get into the bedrooms to measure the windows. Not really convenient when they are sleeping in there. Mummy was really apologetic. So after checking to be sure that her children were awake, we got in to each of their room to measure. One o

Honey to take home, how appropriate for the sweet occasion.. Pene yet to get used to being call Mrs. Black.. A very different fare from the normal Chinese wedding... the sumptious high tea spread is delightful. Especially the Choc Fondue with strawberries and marshmellows. Scones - a must with all high tea.. but i much rather strawberry jam than pineapple. Yummy rolls and sandwiches... Shirin, u'll love these :0

Tonite is really an eye opener. Not just for the boys, but for me too. Yes, I had over the years volunteered in several events; like ushering in a concert, selling trinkets in a carnival to raise funds or the monthly food rations. But never a visit to the Home. Never a real interaction with the residents. Photos of the residents are not allowed. So I can only relate to you some of these interesting characters we met there tonite. Thong Kheng is a home for our less privilege, mentally challenged individuals. There are about 60 of them, both male and female, age ranging from 20s to probably 70plus. The objective of our visit tonite is to spend some quality time celebrating the Moon Cake Festival with them. Give them a nite that is out of their regular routine and hopefully a nite that they too can enjoy and talked about for a while. We helped them made lanterns. Residents were given white paper plates to draw and color on. It's like trying to guide some pre school kids colorin

I am definitely no wine expert.. apart from the very simple fact that red wine goes with red meat and white wine goes with seafood, I really don't know my wine. I used to lean towards red wine before, especially Merlot. But somehow, in recent months, especially after coming back from Tuscany, white becomes my choice. Luv it chilled! Don't like it too sweet. Probably can't spot the diff between my Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, get mixed up with my Sauvignon and Merlot... lolzz.... but most likely know it if you give me a Chablis... i much prefer the latter. But when you paired fine cuisine with fine wine, I'm in! What more when this is enjoyed along with great company :-p Luv the food presentation and thoroughly enjoyed the exquisite taste. They are all so nice I don't really know which is better. So thank you Shirin for including me on this culinary experience. Bez and me thoroughly enjoyed it!
