Old fashioned or growing older?

Friday, April 25, 2014

I was chatting with a reader on FB and I said how I prefer the newspapers in paper form and not digital form. 

I am very old fashioned. I like to be able to make notes in the margins, underline, tick or cross sections and sometimes draw funny faces (yes, I like to think that this is old fashioned too).

This is a reason why I really dislike annual reports being sent to me in CDs! See these?


I like to be able to do this:


This is quite clean actually. For some annual reports, I could write paragraphs, penning down my thoughts while they are still fresh in my mind. 

I have grown more forgetful of late and I am more easily distracted too. So, it is important that I pen my thoughts down quickly.

Annual reports in CDs? They are really off putting for me.

Old Chang Kee: Curry Times.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014


Talented OCK supporter! LOL!
I have always wanted to try the Fried Laksa and the Ngo Hiang in Curry Times by Old Chang Kee. However, each time I walked past the outlet in Westgate, I would see a long queue and I really dislike waiting in queues. So, I would walk away.

Today, I got to Westgate a bit earlier in the evening and the restaurant was only half filled. I didn't have to queue. Lucky!

I didn't have to wait too long for them to serve me my orders. Thumbs up!

Fried Laksa:


Ngo Hiang:


Yummy! I like!

As I was tucking in, a queue formed outside the restaurant. Wow! That improved my appetite! Old Chang Kee is doing well!

Photo taken after I left the restaurant. 
It was about 6.45pm.

You know how we get mints from some restaurants after dinner? At Curry Times, we get some nice old fashioned biscuits. I really like the ones similar in size to 5 cent coins with the little coloured sugar tops. Diners get to help themselves to a cupful when they pay at the cashier!

See the big jar of colourful biscuits?
Click on the photo and see if they bring back memories.

I will have to bring my mom next time. I think she will like the Chendol.
