The Pearl

A pearl is produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk. The finest quality pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries, and the word pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, and admirable.

The picture is from OG China Town jewellery section where they were showing how the pearls are taken out from the shell.

Goodbye Mother!

A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him.
"Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who just died recently."
"I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye, Mother!' ?
It would make me feel so much better."
"Sure," answered the young man.
As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!"
As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50.
"How can that be?" he asked, "I only purchased a few things!"
"Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the clerk.

Rose And Nightingale

I walked within a garden fair
At dawn, to gather roses there;
When suddenly sounded in the dale
The singing of thee nightingale.

Alas, he loved a rose, like me
And he, too loved in agony;
Tumbling upon the mead the sent
The cataract of his lament.

With sad and meditative pace
I wandered in that flowery place,
And thought upon the tragic tale
Of love and rose, and nightingale
The rose was lovely, as I tell;

The nightingale he loved her well;
He with no other love could live,
And she no kindly word would give.

Think not, O Hafiz, any cheer
To gain of fortune's wheeling sphere
Fate has a thousand turns of ill,
And never a tremor of good will.

Change The World

Can you even imagine what the world would be like if everyone was always truthful, positive and helping others? Would it change the world we live in? You bet it would. It would probably come close to living in heaven on earth.

Environment

When I refer to environment, I’m not just talking about the air you breathe and your physical surroundings. I am more concerned with the people around you. their thoughts and actions, can adversely affect you.

I strongly recommend associating only with positive people, or keep to yourself. The only time you should associate with negative people is when you are trying to help them. Your positive thoughts and actions will have a positive effect on them.

Emotions, positive and negative alike, are nearly as contagious as colds and flu. You can catch feelings of elation, euphoria, sadness and more from friends, family, colleagues, even strangers. Mood "infection" happens in milliseconds, says Elaine Hatfield, a psychology professor at the University of Hawaii .
When interacting with a negative person, take extra steps to remain positive. Otherwise, you may be influenced by his or her negativity.

SUBARU Challenge

These pictures are from The MediaCorp Radio Subaru Challenge 2007, It was just outside TAKASHIMAYA.
The contest started with 388 participants with only the top two driving away with a free car each.

Participants need to keep their hand on the car without removing it any time, and they need hands that stick like glue in order to win this contest and it is much harder than it looks.

James Blunt - You´re Beautiful

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

La la la la la la la la la

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Goals

Many individuals do not realize that there are two types of goals. There are outcome goals that give you direction, such as: being happy, having a good education, being married, having children, having a job you love, having money, owning a house, car, and etc. What are even more important are process goals, which include the dedication and hard work required to achieve your outcome goals.

If you perform the process correctly, the outcome takes care of itself. If you want to be on the other side of the street (outcome), do the process of pointing yourself in the right direction and taking one step at a time until you reach the other side of the street.

Living the Daily Affirmation is both an outcome goal and a process. It is a process that will increase your natural abilities and create attractor fields that will help you to achieve all of your outcome goals that are aligned with the big picture.

While you may not be able to control the outcome, you can control your thoughts and actions required to improve the process. Success in doing and mastering the process builds confidence and improves your brain’s chemistry, making it easier to achieve your desired outcome.

Deer Meat

I had deer meat when i was a kid but could not remember the taste. I found deer meat recently in super market and made a dish with black pepper. It was tastier than mutton and also tasted a bit like duck I would have to have one more time to confirm this.

Walking On Sunshine (Jennifer Lopez)

I can't wait, wanna see
How this night is gonna be
Just touch away
From feelin' that is here to stay,
We can make it last forever, baby
Our love will stand the test of time
In the middle of our world
I'll be waiting for you to be all mine
chorus
We're walkin' on sunshine
In the middle of the night
And it feels like
I'm somewhereAbove the sky, I, I, I
Take my hand and close your eyes
Say the sweet little things
That make me cry
Catch my tears with a kiss
These special moments do exist
We can make it last forever, baby
Our love will stand the test of time
In the middle of our world
I'll be waiting for you to be all mine
We're walkin' on sunshineIn the middle of the night
And it feels like I'm somewhere
Above the sky, I, I, I
Let's take a chance and try love baby
No, I'm not giving up till you tell me that
You'll be in my life until the end of time
We're walkin' on sunshine
In the middle of the night
And it feels like I'm somewhere
Above the sky, I, I, I
Let's take a chance and try love baby
No, I'm not giving up till you tell me that
You'll be in my life until the end of time

The delivery man was supposed to collect a CD from me for a company today. He rang the bell, when I opened the door with the CD in my hand I saw a man with helmet talking on the phone, he took the CD and rushed towards the lift while I was asking him that whether he came from the company !

It seems most people in singapore are so busy that they do not have time for anything other than their duty. No hi or hello can be expected.

Truth

How and Why do we live in this world?
Because here is the truth.
We know the truth in many ways.
But we do not know it all,
Truth is simple but deeper than sea.
Truth is perfect but higher than heaven.
I am the truth, the way, the life.
Heavenly Father said himself.
Because all phenomena is true,Truth is a permanent life, existence.
If something is not in truth,It's wrong, fake, not perfect.
So, we follow the truth between the right and wrong.
Always Is there someone disappointed, want be dead?
Seek, ask, knock and look for the truth.
You will enjoy the life forever.Then, what is the most important truth in our life ?
It is keeping promises between peoples.
Larry T. Rhyu

The ship of life

The ship of life across the shore awaits a boat
Though sea's are rough, its still a float
Raise the sails, held up by mast
Forget the troubles of distant past
As wave crash down upon the deck
Steady the boat; not quite a wreak
Tend the mast, and fix the scrach light the lantern with one last match
The storm will end, pull anchor and rope.
look up to see the stars of hope.

We think in generalities, but we live in details.

Sushi

Sushi is a food made of vinegared rice combined with other ingredients, often seafood. Most, but not all, fish used in sushi is uncooked, but other ingredients may be cooked, smoked, sauteed, or marinated.

I tried my first sushi with my Japanese friend yesterday. It was strange but tasty I think it's healthy food and it's quiet popular in singapore.

Colbar

Colbar is run by Lim's family since 1948. They live in the area .The Colbar is not fancy but definitely has charm and atmosphere. The interior is painted blue and cream and the walls are adorned with old posters of English football clubs and military regiments. No reservations are required and seating is open. The tables are not bolted to the floor and most people eating at Colbar prefer to eat outside and are free to carry a table outside, place it in the grass and enjoy the sunset and cooler temperatures of the evening.

Inside there is no air conditioning, only ceiling fans, and hot air escapes via the old style grills located where the ceiling meets the walls, a feature common in most colonial-era buildings. A favorite on the menu is the chicken curry but many expats order the more continental fare of steak and chips or susage and fish. The chicken curry costs S$7 which is more than a normal hawker center meal but people continue to come to enjoy the ambiance and surroundings of the Colbar.
