Life has an interesting way of pulling you back to earth; you may have thought that you have everything and ready to fly, a simple reality check slaps you right in your face, reminds you that you have nothing. I have received many compliments recently, maybe way too many. So much that I started to dream, started to believe that I have a bright future ahead. And I began to think that I am better than everyone else.
But a simple reality check was all it took: I have nothing now. The fact is always there: I have pathetically little in my account to even survive, while others hold amount I can hardly count. While I continue to dream about my future, many are already having more than I can ever achieve.
They were born lucky, that's what I thought. But were they? Am I just assuming that others were just lucky so that I can use it as an excuse for my laziness and incapability? Am I not fighting hard enough for my own future? Am I missing opportunities along the way which could have made me better?

搵到食 vs 瑞春
I went a bit of food hunting recently, 宝贝 loves to eat dim sum, so we tried 揾到食 and 瑞春.
Receipt:
The food is quite not bad, above hawker standard; the price could do better. I would say that there should be many stalls ‘hiding’ in markets all over Singapore that can match the food quality, and possibly with a slightly lower price. But that’s provided that you wake up early morning to go market to yum-cha.
Receipt:
I would say the food is pretty good, very exquisite, better than what most of the restaurants can offer. But the price is extremely expensive as you can see. The portion they serve is extremely little, the amount shown in the pictures is the actual amount served, I didn’t 偷吃! Good to makan once in a while, the food is really nice.
Both places offer different style in food and dinning; for sure not the atas kind of restaurant, but nice place for people (and couples) to hang out at.
揾到食 (Wen Dou Sek):
Located at 126 Sims Avenue. This
place is a short walk from Paya Lebar MRT station, not difficult to find if you
have Google maps. It is a 24 hours Dim Sum place to satisfy your cravings
during unearthly hours, and all those who have a car.

瑞春 (Swee Choon):
Next:
瑞春. Located at 185/187/189/191 Jalan Besar. Yes, 瑞春 takes 4 shop spaces, and there’s a good reason
why: this place is fully packed even with 4 shop spaces. This place can be quite difficult to find, we walked from Farrer Park MRT,
I have a bad sense of direction, so I got lost trying to find this place. They only operate in the night, Mon-Sat
6pm-10am, Sun and Public Holiday till 12noon, closed on Tuesday Night. |
