It's been rather depressing going to work. There's nothing very much at all to look forward to, no one I like very much in particular; and no issue that deeply interests me. Why am I here... Apparently common feedback from staff opinion survey was lack of work-life balance - but top shot's response (thru hear-say) was that these days, we cannot expect 9 - 5 kinda job. And of late, have been bugged endlessly by some other Ministry's bosses... I wonder how all these abnormal civil servants remain motivated. Aargh, feel so complainy today :(

Historic Malacca

Malacca felt really Chinese to me -- perhaps 'cos I stayed in the heart of Chinatown in the midst of these pretty ancient shophouses... Food was a little disappointing but experience was cool - esp the feeling of being transported back in time when wandering ard the Jonker Street area. It felt like a place steeped in tradition and history; albeit a little commercialised now. Have to go catch up on work emails now -- will blog more later this week! :)

Yummy nonya laksa from Nancy's Kitchen

My ex-shophouse boutique hotel

A very Chinese-looking store in Chinatown. Think it felt even more Chinese 'cos it's CNY period...
