I tried out a new regime today, based on my observations about myself.
Observation points:
1. I am a morning person, i.e. I am very productive in the morning.
2. 2pm-3pm is a lull period for me.

This is an amazing handbell solo by Jason Tiller. He performs Joshua, arranged by Nancy Hascall. Incredibly inspiring, how he picks up and changes bells with such fluidity and speed.

Today Penance and I, in a show of decadence, headed to Sushi Yoshida at Devonshire Road for lunch. We arrived, to see Chef Yoshida himself taking a smoking break outside the compound ^^; Ah well, but it seems that he doesn’t prepare the food for lunch.
We entered and were charmed by the quiet, relaxed setting [...]

Well, this new year has been quite fun. On the first day, we returned to Cafe Plaza for a buffet lunch. I’m getting quite tired of the place, and now that they’ve increased their price from $25++ to $35++, and no UOB discount to boot, it’s time to find another place for next year.

It’s rare that we get a chance to eat lunch out with Father around, but today was a good opportunity since he’s not working on CNY eve for the first time ever. Headed to Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant at Turf City for dimsum. They have a 50% discount on dimsum from Mondays to Saturdays, and [...]
