had the most amazing Mexican food at Margarita's just now. Turned out it's actually my friend Matthew's sister's restaurant.. check out the rave reviews! Dinner turned out to be an educational lesson on Mexican food as well. If you have ever suspected that tacos, nachos, quesadillas, chimichangas, enchiladas, tortillas, burritos, fajitas and whatever were actually somewhat similar, you're right! According to Matthew, these flour-rish pancakes are either made of corn or wheat.. running down the list, the basic ones are tortillas(corn) and burritos(wheat). If you fry tortillas you get nachos. If you fry burritos you get chimichangas. Cook tortillas lightly in a red chile sauce and roll it around meat or cheese and cook it in more sauce, and you have an enchilada. Quesadillas are tortillas filled with chilli and cheese and other stuff and pinched like curry puffs before they are fried. Fold tortillas over any sort of food and you get tacos. Let tortillas get slightly stale and cut them into strips. Fry them and serve them in any one of several kinds of sauce, and you have chilaquiles. Let them go even more stale and then fry them crisp and you get tortilla chips! Wow! If you do try the restaurant, be sure to order their Premium Margaritas, Lobster Quesadillas, Sauteed Mushrooms and definitely their out-of-the-world Tiramisu.. yum!!!

finally went for both a gym-run (only 15mins though) and swim (another half hour) yesterday morning after not exercising for like.. weeks.. ok, i exaggerate.. still it felt good to get my atrophied muscles (again I exaggerate) working again..haha... spent part of the afternoon doing a Stained-Glass Christmas Card Making workshop for Foochow Methodist Church and then rushed back for another stained-glass session for Estee Lauder (as part of their solid perfumes exhibition) at Centrepoint.

Matthew planted this new thought in my head about doing long-term volunteer work in another country. Developmental work in like Ghana or Nepal or some other third-world country for between 18 to 24 months or something like that. Actually, it isn't really a new thought - I've toyed with that idea before, it's just that if I do it, it would definitely be the most courageous thing I will do at this stage of my life.. to give up the fast-paced corporate rat-race to do something meaningful and life-changing... it's a thought.. actually, to be honest.. it is a very tempting thought....
