Just be who you are …

Friday, October 7th, 2011

Have you ever asked yourself, what is “life” to you? What are you looking for in your life time? What is your aim or objective for you to struggle in your life? Money? Knowledge? Career? Respect? Love? Many more …. No matter what are we hunting in our life, we have to value every moment that we own.

Death will bring us to end of our life in the world. No one can escape and no one will be the exceptional one from this cycle. If we can achieve what we want, we won’t feel regret when the day we need to face the death.

There was a statement that has been made by Steve Jobs which I found it was so true and interesting:

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.”

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Each of us has the different roles to be played in the earth. Not everyone can be as successful as Steve Jobs but successful can be described as meaning to each of us. To some, having a happy family would be considered successful in life; To some, earning a lot of money to maintain a smooth living would be considered successful in life; To some, gaining people respect with the excellent title would be considered successful in life. To you, what do you call successful?

Be the one who you are. Play your role as what you should be done, think of the life that you are looking for and do whatever you can to achieve your goal of your life. All of this is easier said than done. But if we do not take the first move, then we will always stay at where we are.

Last weekend was Soon and Shin wedding dinner. I tried and did for the scrap layout for them as their wedding gift. This was not a good layout but did hope both of them like it.

Overall layout.

Love for both of them…

Life…

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Life would not be the same everyday. Sometime we would feel everything smooth and sometime everything seems go wrong. We would learn from the difficulties. Everything can be solved and settled.

Life can be very simple and can also be very tough. It depends on how you look on it and how you would like your jouney to be go on.

Six Principles

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Today, I received one email which mentioned for the 6 principles of life which I found very meaningful:

1. No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.

Nowadays, people become more and more realistic and materialistic. Money is one thing which no one would find is enough in his/her life. Unlimited money can be taken home but his/her only have limited time to spend it.

2. No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.

It is so true that what is the point that you want to work so hard and earn so much if you do not get to spend it? Would you feel regret one day if you happen not to spend the money that you earn?

3. Money is not yours until you spend it.

When the time you spend the money on yourself or others, then only you can feel the money is yours. If you keep the money in the Bank, you won’t be able to feel that the money is yours until the moment you spend it.

4. When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late.

24 hours a day:

  • 1/3 for working
  • 1/3 for sleeping
  • 1/3 for others

I do believe that there are majority of the people would spend more than 1/3 of their time per day on working. They would like to fight for their own career for earning more money in order to have a better life in the future. When they are young, they do not bother about their heath as they know that they are still young.  When they reach certain age, their level of health decrease while wealth increase. That is the time; they would need to pay for the medical bill to acquire back the health. Is it worth to do so?

5. How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs.

A person know what is the satisfaction would able to find happiness in his/her life.

6. No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

We always give excuses to ourselves that we would like to work hard and earn for our beloved one. However, maybe we should ask the other party that he/she needs our companion, love, time or money? Just think that you would rather spend a lot of money alone or spend it with someone but lesser amount.  Which one would you prefer?

We come to this world with nothing, we leave this world with nothing!

The Other Truth – 真相

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

This series has been completed showing last week which is related to Justice and Truth.

The main actors and actress are:

  • Ruco Chan – 陈展鹏
  • Tavia Yeung – 杨怡
  • Raymond Wong  -  黄浩然
  • Louis Yuen -  阮兆祥
  • Natalie Tong -  唐诗咏

 

Ruco plays the role as a barrister which he will do everything which he able to do in order to win the case, if he believes that his client is not guilty. Even though, sometime he will get himself involve in the danger.

Tavia is Ruco’s partner to run a lawyer firm. Personality of Tavia is totally different from Ruco as she is the one who always follows the rules and regulation of law. She cannot stand for those who always breaks the rules like Ruco.    

Raymond Wong is a good friend of Ruco Chan. He owns the lawyer firm and rent the office to Ruco and Tavia. He is playful, smart but not that serious in his working.

Louis Yuen is another good friend of Ruco Chan. He comes from a middle income family which he needs to work hard to be a successful barrister. His ambition to be a barrister is because of his appearance which gives people the impression that he is not capable which he would like to prove that this impression is wrong.

I get impressed in one of the case in this series which was talking about the son killed his father. Why the son killed his father? 

Husband tortured his wife all the time. Forced his wife to tale naked photos, pressed his wife head in the water once she refuced to listen to him, slapped her and some other actions which hurted his wife physically and mentally.

His son would like to protect his mother and got some argument with the father all the time.

Finally, the son cannot tolerate this kind of father anymore and killed him. Then he got arrested by the police.

Mother was loss, she did not know  what else she can do to help her son. She decided to commit suicide, luckliy the lawyer saved her life and agreed to help her and her son. 

Court case in the high court and these were the witness… 

Here are the summaries that brought up by the prosecutor and defender respectively which I like it so much:

被告何伟聪当时生命并无受到威胁， 但仍然对父亲作出猛烈袭击。 这叫自卫吗？而他母亲方笑兰也不在现场，要保卫母亲的说法实在牵强。这显然不是自卫， 是蓄意冷血谋杀。 辩方所讲的长期受到虐待，只是道听途说， 只是传闻证供， 并没有任何真凭实据。 无论被告对他父亲有多憎恨，但法律是不容许以暴易暴的， 为了维护社会秩序的原则，我恳请所有陪审团判 作出正确的判决，判被告谋杀罪名成立。

法官阁下， 各位陪审团。 中国人有一句话叫“虎毒不吃儿”，老虎就算再毒也不会吃亲儿子。作为父亲就算再恨自己的儿子，也不会强逼他吃狗饭。再恨自己的妻子，也不会拍下她的裸照作为威胁， 因为我们是有人性的。 何伟聪为什么会有书不读，为什么会愤世嫉俗，用拳头来保护自己的妈妈？因为他知道没有人可以保护她。 法律？ 可以帮到他们吗？不可以。三年前有一个虐妻的魔头，被一位疏忽的律师从手中放走了。这只老虎又回到他们母子身上施虐， 让他们母子无处可逃，筋歇力疲， 聪仔没想过要杀人， 他一心只想取回母亲的裸照， 可是慿什么？ 他慿什么能制服一个孔武有力的何劲威？他只能称这只老虎不警觉时击倒他。不过，聪仔没有杀何劲威，何劲威的死是一次不幸的意外。容许我说是“意外”，因为根据多为专家的证供，死者的致命伤是属於Fresh Injury, 就是说死者的死亡时间是在我当事人离开现场， 四至五个小时后才出现的， 所以何劲威的死绝对跟何伟聪无关，在疑点利益归於被告的情况之下， 我恳请所有陪审团判我当事人无罪。容许我当事人跟他母亲重过新生活。一种人过得生活。

What do you think? Is the son should be brought into jail? A hard decision to be made….

Waiting for results to be announced, it was hard a hard for the mother. The lawyer promised to the mother that no matter what was the result, he would always help him until her son able to release. Mother felt so greatful to the lawyer.

Once you see this screen, I believe you can guess what was the result.

This is just one of the case which I found very touching. I believe that this situation do happen in our realistic life. No word to describe this kind of father except cruel.

Back to those good ol’ days – continued

Monday, August 1st, 2011

At the same night, we went to Geylang for frog porridge. Su Lin brought us to the Sin Ma Live Seafood Restaurant.

Sin Ma Live Seafood Restaurant
161 Geylang Road Lorong 3,
#01-01/02 Geylang Conservation Area,
Singapore.
Tel: +65 6743 2201

There is a promotion where customers can get free frogs – buy 3 get 2 free or buy 5 get 3 free. We ordered two claypots of frog (Spicy and no spicy). The sauce was special, when we stirred it in the porridge, it was so appetizing.

The meat was soft and tender. Besides, we also ordered vegetables, hor fun and one plate of seafood (forgot the exact name of this dish). All the food was yummy. It was worth to pay a visit here.

While we were on the way to have dinner, we passed by the shop “Mr Bean”. Janet recommended me for the ice cream. The soya bean ice cream is nice.

After the meal, we went to Marina Bay Sands.

The Marina Bay Sands is the second Integrated Resort (IR) to open in Singapore. It is developed by Las Vegas Sands, one of the world’s biggest and foremost gaming companies.  The Marina Bay Sands aims to be a unique icon, a landmark that symbolises Singapore and distinguishes her from other cities. Alas, such a claim is not without good reason. The three cascading hotel towers connected by a skypark platform atop, are set against the iconic Marina Bay skyline and the central business district. Besides boasting a fantastic location, this IR is where business and leisure converge like no other singular destination.

We went there for a walk and took photos.

Took the photo on the Helix bridge…

Although all of us so tired, but still insisted to go Clarke Quay.

Clarke Quay is a delightful mix of modern and traditional. A reminder of its rich heritage is reflected in the vibrantly orchestrated concept.

The place here is really nice and huge with lots of bars, restaurant and night clubs. A place that is suitable for hangouts. Clarke Quay is packed with locals and tourists.

That was the end of the Saturday night. Good night…..

The next day (Sunday), we proceeded to Taste Paradise for our breakfast.

Taste Paradise @ ION Orchard
No.2 Orchard Turn

The food was super nice and the price is considered “super nice” as well. Will blog more details about this restaurant in my next post. 

The dishes that we ordered …

Cheers ….

After the breakfast, we walked and shopped in the Ion. Bought two pieces of cakes from Awfully Chocolate…

The chocolate cake with the choclate ice cream…. Melt in my mouth easily…

Can you spot what is the smililarity in each of us in the photo???

Back to those good ol’ days

Friday, July 29th, 2011

After all of us graduated from University and came out to work, we have yet managed to go for a short trip and holiday. Last weekend, finally we able to get a short, tired but enjoyable trip in Singapore.

SINGAPORE – Here we come!!!

On 22 Jul (Friday), Ju Mei and I took night flight (Air Asia) and reached Singapore 10.30pm. Lyn, Seow Wei and Su Lin came to airport and picked us. Then we went to Chomp Chomp for dinner + supper.

Chomp Chomp
20 Kensington Park Rd,
Serangoon Gardens

Chomp chomp, the popular name for the Serangoon Gardens Food Centre, is located at Serangoon Gardens. It has become a landmark in Serangoon Gardens estate because of the good food offered at many of the stalls.

This is Lyn favorite food center, I cannot figure out what is the attraction of this food court to Lyn. According to Seow Wei, Lyn always request to go Chomp Chomp for hang out. No doubt that the food here is delicious.

There is a great variety of food found in Chomp Chomp. We ordered Sugar Cane, Chye Tow Kway (Fried Carrot Cake),  Bak Mee and BBQ Chicken Wings. The food was yummy.

After finished the food, I suggested to order some desert. In the end, Lyn ordered Chocolate Milkcurd and Mango Sago with Ice. Seow Wei kept on mentioning that the Chocolate Milkcurd looked like pig blood. The taste a bit weird which might due to the chocolate flavour. After finishing all the food, we took taxi back to Lyn’s house.

The next day early morning, Lyn, Ju Mei and I went to Toast Box to take breakfast before we went to meet the others. The toast bread and coffee were delicious and it was considered one of the mouth-watering breakfasts.

Lyn was the one suggested cycling at East Coast Park. She is the main organizer for our trip to Singapore, she mentioned that “All the places is mostly on food and drinks, we need to do some cycling other than all FOOD AND DESSERTS”. Hire a bicycle and take a ride on this beautiful scenery and sandy beach.

East Coast Park – located off the East Coast Parkway, is a favourite play area for Singaporeans, either at the beach or on its landscaped vistas and terrains.

The activities that available here are water sports center, tennis court, taichi corner, sand playing area, skating, bicycling, jogging path or running track, fishing jetty and many more. Besides, visitors also can dine at here.

Total we rent 6 bicycles for each of us for taking a ride 2 hours around the East Coast Park. We rent from this shop – Coastal Recreational Bicycle Rental. It cost SGD6 per bicycle for 2 hours. Not that expensive!

Snapshop photo when we reached there andbefore we started the bicycle ride.

So long never take a ride…feel so excited….

Janet and me posting behind all the bicycles….

Taking different shots with different scenes together with the bicycles ……

Jump Jump Jump….

Lyn’s Jump Pose…. From start till end….

Seow Wei’s new sungalss. She bought this sungalss because of this butetrfly.

Taking photos with the reflection from Lyn and Seow Wei’s sungalsses…

After 2 hours of cycling, we proceeded to Yu Kee Food House for lunch. Yu Kee’s famous food is Duck Rice.

Yu Kee Duck and Noodle House
516 North Bridge Road (Liang Seah Street)
Nearest MRT: Bugis, EW Line

We ordered duck, eggs, rice, porridge and kway chap. All of us so hungry and managed to finish all the food that placed on the table.

Taking photos with the foods before we started to attack “them”.

It was still not considered a complete meal without deserts. As such, we walked along the street to Ah Chiew Desserts.

Ah Chiew Desserts
#01-11, Liang Seah Place
1 Liang Seah Street S(189022)
Tel: 63398198

 

Customers need to order and make payment at the counter once place order. May different type of desserts can be found here. If you are a dessert lover, this is a place that you come to pay a visit. The food was served in a short while.

 

Our deserts come……Mango sago with pamelo, coffee soya bean, black sticky rice with ice cream and mango sago with durian. All also nice except the mango sago with durian which I cannot stand for the mixture of both heavy taste.

Took a photo in Ah Chiew Desserts place before we left.

After that, we went back to Lyn’s house to take a bath as all of us sweating during the cycling time.
