My Precious Weekend

I had a fun filled weekend!!
Friday-K session with Joel on Friday
Saturday-I went for dance lessons at my uncle 's dance studio,then
went for a power packed service ,followed by
a very belated birthday celebration with Lincoln at night.
Its been so long since we gathered together like this,
The few of us having a a simple dinner and catching up with one another.
Found out some really hilarious facts during dinner
-Suzy didn't know that Lincoln and I are of the same age after knowing us for 8 years
-She thought Piranhas belong the species of shark
-Fen forgot that I had a 21st birthday bash even though she attended it.
What a night of laughters and surprises.

My gastric haven't been giving me problem lately and my appetite is back!
I can finally enjoy the food that I have abstained from all these months.

Everyone 's favorite month is coming up in a few days time.
The festive season is here.
Kagek and Joey must be having the time of their life in Scotland as it is snowing there.
Envious much.
Lets hope that December will be a month that is worthy for celebration and a great way to end the year.
Gonna continue my awesome weekend by going for bowling with my family later.

Potato Crouch


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was simply impressive ,finally it did justice to the original novel.
The studio made the right choice by spiting the last novel in into a 2 parts movie which allows the scriptwriter to reveal more details of the book.
I read the book two years ago and could hardly remember the storyline in details.
There are a couple scenes which I have totally forgotten,watching the film refreshed my memory,I couldn't recall what are the rest of the Horcruxes are except Harry is one of them: spoiler,
Perhaps I should read the book again

I booked the ticket one week in advance and got Wei Qiang to watch it with me.
Its really hard to find a movie buddy nowadays and I do not want history to repeat itself.
I missed Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince just because I was in confinement week and all my friends had watched the show before me.
Hence ,I downloaded the movie online ,to my dismay ,I downloaded a china version of the show and watched it in Chinese language.I quivered each time they uttered "哈利波特".I forced myself to finish the movie as I have spent the whole day loading it.

Just like what Daniel Radcliffe said in the interview,Harry potter plays a major role in influencing people to take up the habit of reading and introduce the world of literature to them.
The Harry potter series is one of the first books I finished reading in my life.
After reading the series,I realized finishing a book that is 600 plus page thick is possible.


I am a potato Crouch.
Hooked on US drama now.
Are you watching any of the shows?

Bread and Tea

Ever since I was diagnosed with gastritis ,I avoided a while range of delicious food and drinks.
I cannot enjoy cold carbonated drink on a hot day and the finger licking chicken like I used to.
Sometimes even my favourite Soya Milk will cause trouble to my stomach.
I admit I am not a obedient patient who will heed the doctor advice ,there are times when my mouth becomes itchy and I will start to indulge in food that I should avoid.
Lately,I have been eating a lot of white bread and Teh-O is my regular beverage .(sounds like a old man diet)
I searched the web and found out the benefits of Bread and Tea.

-Bread contains high levels of vitamins, calcium, protein and iron

-Bread made of whole wheat has fiber which is good for digestion and health.

-One slice of white bread has about 75 calories or can have even less.

-Bread made of whole wheat has lower calories; one slice has only 60 calories.

-One slice of white bread promote sleep and prevent insomnia

-Bread prevent constipation


-Tea refreshes and revives the body and mind
- aromatically touches the sensory nerves to promote relaxation
- good oral health
- overall hydration that helps keep your skin healthy
-promotes good heart health and supports the immune system by aiding the prevention of infection.
-Tea is considered a "natural performance enhancer" because of the flavonoid antioxidants (compounds reversing cell damage) present in tea.
-Flavonoids, besides having antioxidant properties, contain anti-inflammatory and anti-viral compounds as well and are known to help connective tissues and blood vessels continue functioning well.
- one cup of hot tea offers five times the antioxidants of a cup of orange juice and 17 times that of a serving of broccoli
- Whether served hot or cold, the benefits remain.

Start your own healthy diet before its too late.

Its finally November!

It seems like not a lot of my friends know that I didn't go to Aussie for Training.
To all my friends ,I am still IN Singapore!
In a turn of an event,the camp medical officers certify me unfit for overseas training.Some of you will know that I have been diagnosed with gastritis and often suffer from sudden gastric pain attacks,which I just had one on Tuesday.It usually happens after meals so nowadays I have to be careful of what goes into my stomach.
I was just talking to fen yesterday and noted that I have been sick from the top of my head to the sole of my feet this year.
sore eyes,sinus,wisdom tooth,lymph node
,throat infection,gastric problem,sore thumb,sprained ankle etc.........
Seriously ,I am sick of being sick and injured.
Somehow I think the physical condition of my body reflects the condition of my emotion and soul.
I do acknowledge that I have been in the winter season of faith for the longest time.
When you are in national service,there isn't much time to achieve anything .There is nothing much to look forward to except weekends.
I do wanna make the best out of every weekends but sometimes things doesn't turn out the way you want to be.
Its like I am trapped in the vicious cycle of disappointments and hopelessness.
I wanna break free and achieve a breakthrough!
My only goal is to keep a balance in life.Spread my time evenly for every aspect of my life.
Its may seems like a simple task ,but it isn't easy to accomplish it.

On the Hindsight,my first post of the year was named:May this year end quickly.
I am glad that its November now!

After Winter,There will be Spring
