random thoughts

Tired tired. Probably will sleep early tonight. My brother's currently in Japan for work and will be back in a weeks time. Muahahahha, toilet for my entire self for one week!

Received a phone call from my sales rep (funds). She sounded quite apologetic that due to the current market situation, the funds are not performing as she said it would. Haven't recoup the sales charges as incurred. Will need the price to go up by about another 16-18 cents more before it makes a small profit of about $100-$200. As long as the money dun go down the drain, can already. Haha... first time investing in a fund that is rated as aggressive.

Other than that, this week is work work work. Ya, today ate the "Ah Koong Fishball Noodles" at Food Republic (Suntec). Supposedly famous. So tried the fishball noodle lor. Everything there also expensive. Costs me $4.20 per bowl. Hmm... nothing fantastic. The noodles(mee kia) wasn't springy, quite soggy in fact. Fishball... I've tasted better ones. The soup got 3 plain fishballs, 1 small fried fishball and 1 piece of fried beancurd skin, plus some little(really little niah..) bits of pork. Dunno who created the hype one. Maybe the original one in Johor better? Don't know 'coz never ate at Johor before. But I'm quite amazed at why the Food Republic must use such heavy bowls. Very difficult to carry and then navigate thru throngs of ppl hor! The only good thing there was, that those dirty dishes will be cleared by pretty ladies in cheongsam (also dunno who said must wear those tight fitting cheongsam, and then must carry heavy plates and bowls and then still must navigate thru the crowds and avoid dirtying customers' clothes).
