today, i realised that the clock in my room had stopped. and i was wondering, what would it be like if time really were to stand still. what would it be like?

and i was at robertson quay/ clarke quay area. watching a father with his daughter, i suddenly wonder what do we live for, who do we live for? my father was saying a colleague of his eats instant noodles for meals to save money; he has four young kids. there are alot of other stuff that parents do for their kids. so much so, do they live for their kids?

the ultimate question is still: who am i?

the pictures were taken today. i so envy those people who live in those houses. at the same time, i wonder what those people are like. i guess expats.

anyway bongout is nice. the kind of place you can go tehre and have a laxing meal. if u can read jap, even better, cos tehre are so many books to browse there. or u can just flip thru those mags and look at the pictures. food wise, its ok. though its ramen is supposed to be top ten in singapore. but the service is really very good. there's this japanese lady there who is really very nice, very sincere. her english isnt fantastic, but she tells us to enjoy our meals, apologises when the dessert is late. stuff liddat. and her smile is so warm. and its a wonder that they dun charge service charge.

which makes you wonder: why is it that the places with good service dun charge u for that but the places with lousy service charge u for that??? like modesto. the service was really sucky. and u pay so much for it. unbelievable.

what's good food? i don't know. am i numb or what? i don't know either.

maybe you can see it this way. everything is all right. very little actually stand out. and until you see those that stand out, anything will do. that kind of attitude towards food.
