Alaska King Crab

Having watched countless episodes of The Deadliest Catch on NatGeo, it makes me appreciate eating the Alaskan King Crab a lot more. I was at the Imperial Treasure Restaurant at Takashimaya on Sunday and boy they do serve up a fantastic crab dish. Most certainly worth a try if you have the opportunity.

Rome, The Eternal City

During my last post, I said I would write about my trip to Italy and England. But I enjoyed myself so much that I did not blog as I traveled through Rome, Florence and London. But better late then never, I have started to catalog the photographs I took during the trip. I suspect it will take me quite a while. However, I will share these four photos here first.

Spanish Steps

I spent a total of 2 and a half days in Rome, which was totally not enough. There were so many sighs to see in this most amazing of cities. I am glad to say that I did catch most of the major attractions in Rome, including the Vatican. I will put up more of my photos as I process through them.

A Short Break In Europe

I have been coming to The Netherlands for work for the past 5 years but I have not really taken the opportunity to visit the place other than a trip to the south of France 3 years back.
I have decided to explore a bit of Amsterdam, Italy and London this time around. I do hope to do more posting as I make my way through Europe and share my travels. 

2012

Time flies. New Year 2012 came and went. Chinese New Year is now also officially over. Yesterday was the 15th day of Chinese New Year. We are now fully into the Year of the Dragon. A lot happened during the month of December 2011. I got to see the true nature of some people. It was like waking up from a dream. It has also prompted me to look at myself and take stock. I am still trying to come to terms with what has happened and I am still unsure as to how to move forward. I don't think I can turn to my friends for advice on this as it's really about me coming to terms with myself. Most would just say chop and move on with life. I wish I was that strong. I have never felt more alone in my life.

Someday, I will write about it in full. And like any drama, there are sub plots and totally unrelated tangents as well. Sometimes, I think the people who write trashy soap opera really do take a leaf from real life situations. HAHA.

I guess I am making this post as a means of self relieve. Maybe the main theme for me this year should be to focus more on myself and my own well being. Sometimes, I hate myself for not being stronger. To disregard everyone and just care for myself. Also, to stop putting myself in a position where people can hurt me.

I guess we all learn and we all grow. I would like to wish everyone a great Year of the Dragon ahead.
