8 hours

After reading Danny post on how we can pie each day into 3 slices of 8 hours each, it bring to sharp focus how much time we have time we have for ourselves and family each day, if we were to sleep 8 hour, work 8 hours, we will be left with 8 hour, take away 2 hours away for the small things in life that eat up time, ie. Travelling here , wait there, then we are essentially left with 6 hours to do own personal interest or
keep relationship alive.

Most people I know do not divide their time so equally, they usually work more than 8 hours, eating into sleep and personal time.

How do you spent your 6 hours?

Useful work excuses

Some real-life reasons given for not able to stay late. Collected them over the span of a few weeks, guess it is somehow related to the roll-out happening now.

1) My wife birthday today.
2) My wedding anniversary today.
3) I am expecting guests in the house.
4) I have classes to attend today.

Pukka Ice Creams (Again)

Tried the place again, this time round, sampled Chocolate, Butter Scott and Banana flavour. Decided on Banana without any mix-ins. I always find the names to the flavours could be more original and less plain. Banana really taste banana and there were some banana chunks in it, I think.

Anyway, I still prefer Tom's Palette flavours any time any day.

Maleka April 4 - 5

It was fun driving all the way there, the journey feels shorter and faster compared to the journey back.

And I keep smiling when I remember the way KK says his 1.5l car worked very hard to keep up with my. =D The joking expression on his face when he said it is priceless.

Even though we agreed to travel at 100km/hr, his car really worked hard to keep pace, maybe is the weight from all the eating and maybe it is the 2 x 5 kg of oil he had in his boot. (which he says is very cheap)

I like the adventure in exploring the unknown road and trying all the nyonya (authentic peranakan cuisine) food there. Aunty Lee still is the best, compared to Bibik Neo and Manis Sayang.
