祝香神咒

道由心學　心假香傳

香爇玉爐　心存帝前

真靈下盼　仙佩臨軒

今臣關告　逕達九天

Methodology:
1. Always remember the first verse 道由心學.(very important)

2. Take the 3rd word 心 as the first word for the next phrase. 心假香傳.

3. Again take the 3rd word 香 as the first word for the next phrase 香爇玉爐.

4. Now remember a little sequence: "that as long as i remain pure at heart in front of the deities, the real deities (真,仙 which will form the first word of the subsequent phrases) will descend from heaven and accompany you at your place of prayer."

心存帝前, 真靈下盼, 仙佩臨軒

5. Then the next sequence is for you to report and allow the message to sent to the nine heavens.

令民關告　逕達九天

Hopes this help anyone who has difficulties reciting the incense offering mantra.

Find A Gal Whom You Can Live With or Find One That You Cant Live Without??

2008-08-31T12:07:00.004+08:00

I always came across a saying online that says:
"Don't Find A Gal Whom You Can Live With but Find One That You Cant Live Without"

Honestly its kinna crap to me as it seems no diff to me.
Haha!!
=P

I always claim that "It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life" and Jace is the ONE that I can live with as seems like she's the only 1 that could take all my nonsense.
But whenever she's not ard me(went for holiday or whenever we had a fight), the feeling of 'LOST' slowly creeps onto me...
The feeling sux Big Time!!
Duhzzz...

Obvious to say that she's not just the ONE whom I wanna live with BUT more IMPORTANTLY, she's the ONE whom I cant live without.
Cant imagine what's live be without her...
No 1 to annoy..
No 1 to hear my burping..
No 1 to smell my farting..
The list goes on...
=P

Thank you for being the ONE for me...

巧合吗？！

2008-05-28T01:22:00.003+08:00

巧合吗？！

1月25日，雪灾＝天灾

3月14日，藏独＝人祸

5月12日，地震＝地灾

1＋2＋5＝08

3＋1＋4＝08

5＋1＋2＝08

08年08月08日是奥运会！

巧合？

地震发生那天正好是距08年08月08日奥运会，还差88天！

再加这个，都是巧合！

而李白远在唐朝早已寓言北京奥运，四川地震了：

北暮苍山兰舟四

京无落霞缀清川

奥年叶落缘分地

远水微漾人却震

前四个字.......

北京奥运后四个字.......

四川地震真巧合吗？！

Passage for a Thought

2008-05-23T08:06:00.004+08:00

A Passage worth Considering & Pondering

I happened to come across a Tiny Spider that hung between 2 far-apart trees to create it's Web.

At first-sight, I was susprised and shocked and so, I continued to stay-put at the spot to observe the Spider further.Despite the Strong Wing blowing & the High Heat, the Tiny Spider carry-on to create it's Web with No-Fear, Determination and "No thoughts of Giving-up".

Soon, the Tiny Spider successfully created it's Web and able to "Happily Flying" between the 2 trees.Even though Spider is not the type of Insects that I "Love" that much, but at that moment, what I can said is, I Respect it.

Now, thru the Spider's encounter, its time for us as Mortal to do some serious Considering & Pondering.If we as Mortals will to compare with a Tiny Spider, can I said that, we are worst than a little Insect?

As Mortal, if we can be as Brave as a Tiny Spider, the Determination of Completing the task of Creating a Spider Web, I'm sure that in this World, there will be a lot of successful people and also, a better & peaceful environment for living.

And do remember,

No one in this World can gain successful without any putting in of effort.

Okay, last of all,

its time for you to do some Reflection,

"are you a "Spider" or "Worst than a Spider"?

Earthquake appeal

Earthquake appeal

As most are aware,
a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck China, northwest of Sichuan provincial capital Chengdu and killed nearly 15,000 people. This is one of the worst hit to China in 32 years, reducing many buildings to rubbles. Tears and screaming of families were heard all over the places, calling out to their loves one. Many were buried alive and yet to be found. China is definitely in shortage of tents, medicines, water etc...

My heart sank deeper as I was reading the newspaper. Not only it shut down all the power, telecommunication links and roads but also robbed away the happiness of many families. Many were now left homeless and feeling helpless. What do they need the most? They need your help. As the rescue workers were trying hard to find survivors, I hope the public could also lend a helping hand with your kind contributions. Even if it is $1 or how much but at least something that we could help them to pull through.

S'PORE WEDDING COUPLES HIT BY BANQUET BLUES

2008-04-28T12:29:00.002+08:00

The Electric New Paper :

S'PORE WEDDING COUPLES HIT BY BANQUET BLUES

Couples feeling the pinch as prices of hotel packages soar but hongbao gifts remain the same WHEN you attend a wedding dinner next year, think twice before you seal that hongbao.

By Tay Shi'an 31 December 2007

WHEN you attend a wedding dinner next year, think twice before you seal that hongbao.
The money you put in may not be enough for the bride and groom to recover the cost of their wedding celebrations, let alone have a little extra for their honeymoon.
Yes, young couples planning their dream weddings are finding themselves priced out of their dreams.
For example, the going rate for a year-end Saturday wedding dinner next year at the Mandarin Oriental is $1,088 per table.
Add to that the 10 per cent service charge and 7 per cent goods and services tax, and it's a whopping $1,280 for a table of 10 guests. So your $100 hongbao, while considered generous this year, may fall a little short next year.
Many young couples, who have already felt the pinch of sky-high property prices, are now facing a squeeze on another front - ever-rising wedding banquet prices.
Checks by The New Paper on Sunday found that the 2008 weekend prices for most of the five-star hotels exceed $1,000 per table, with prices at dream venues such as Shangri-La,
The Fullerton Hotel and Ritz-Carlton starting from over $1,200.
DREAMS COMPROMISED The daunting combination has pushed some couples into abandoning dream homes in developed estates to take up available units in new towns like Sengkang.
Now, they must also make compromises - or even set aside - their plans for a dream wedding.

Ms Jaslyn Chew, 27, wanted to have her wedding banquet at the Marina Mandarin. But the
price of a weekend wedding at the hotel - $988 nett per table for Saturdays, and $958 nett per table on Fridays and Sundays - was too steep. So the couple will hold their wedding dinner on a weekday in October instead. The cost? $788 per table. Said the civil servant: 'We decided to take a weekday because the weekend price is out of our league rather than (have it at) a hotel we don't like.'
Similarly, MsLynnette Chia, 28, had planned to have her March banquet at a top hotel. Now, she and her husband will hold their wedding banquet at the Pioneer Springs restaurant at Mount Faber Safra. As they had booked early, they will pay only $599 nett per table for a Saturday wedding. Said MsChia: 'My dream was one of the bigger hotels like the Marriott or the Hyatt, but after I saw the prices, I thought, forget about hotel.'
The couple, who have a combined monthly income of more than $5,000, are also paying for their executive condominium at La Casa in Woodlands, which they bought for $380,000 two years ago. Said Ms Chia: 'I keep telling myself, don't end up in debt. If a one-day wedding makes me suffer three to four years of loans, forget it.'
Still searching for their dream home and wedding are Mr Christopher Chew, 29, and his fiance Ms Michelle Law, 26. The couple, who have been dating for six years, are holding off their customary dinner as they are unable to get a HDB flat. Said Mr Chew: 'We've been trying to get a flat since early this year in all the HDB balloting.
But the results are so disappointing.' He added that prices on the resale market are 'a bit crazy' now, so they are not considering buying a resale flat. In the meantime, the couple are planning a special venue to register their marriage in March next year: Onboard the Singapore Flyer. Said Ms Law: 'We aren't planning to hold the customary so soon because we can't get a flat. So we wanted to make the ROM memorable.' They are hoping to hold their dinner around December next year, or even in early 2009.
But, as they wait, prices are sky-rocketing. The New Paper on Sunday checked with 11 hotels about their wedding package price changes from this year to next. Hotels like Marina Mandarin, Holiday Inn Park View, Furama Riverfront and Ritz-Carlton Millenia have raised their prices by about 5per cent or less. Chijmes, Shangri-La and Furama City Centre raised their prices between 5 and 10 per cent.
At hotels like Pan Pacific, Swissotel The Stamford and Marriott, banquet packages have increased on average by more than 10 per cent.
Only InterContinental Singapore is not changing its wedding package prices next year. But that's because it had raised prices by about 15 per cent in April after relaunching its new ballroom.
The reasons the hotels gave for the increase are the higher cost of food, labour, rental and oil. The GST hike and exchange rate fluctuations were also taken into consideration. And many of the hotels would likely be raising prices again in 2009.
Ms Lydia Lim, director of marketing communications of Holiday Inn Park View Singapore, said the hotel has seen couples who do away with extras to save money.
'For example, we have couples who might not wish to have free-flow of beer during the banquet and ask for a discount,' she said. Still, there are couples willing to splurge - in particular, those who go for luxury hotels. Ms Melanie Teo, senior events manager for weddings at the Shangri-La, said the hotel's two ballrooms are already fully booked for wedding banquets between September and December next year.
Bookings for next year started as early as 18 months ago. Ms Evelyn Yo, director of public relations at the Ritz-Carlton, said weddings at the hotel have been getting more lavish.
But are guests' hongbaos keeping up?
Hotels say that most guests are aware that prices have gone up.
But Ms C Yang, marketing manager of Starworth, which runs events at Chijmes, said some couples have told her that the value of red packets have not risen to match the increase in banquet prices.
Added Ms Julie Lock, assistant marketing communications manager at Furama City Centre: 'Many are not aware of the rising 'market rate' for red packets.'
Ms Teo of Shangri-La Hotel said she knew of a couple whose relative gave a $100 hongbao, but took four family members to the wedding.
'There was another couple who received an $8 red packet for the banquet they held at the hotel,' she said. 'My advice would be to call the hotel where the banquet will be held and enquire. This will give you a better gauge of how much to give.'

2008-02-04T00:42:00.004+08:00

Congrats to Peter & Shufang

Juz came back from Shufang's wedding dinner held at Rasa Sentosa Resort.
I was thinking I better update my blog on my thoughts now b4 I get tired & lazy to do.. =P

Its been more den 10 good years since I last seem Shufang...
Guess the last time we met each other was ard 1997/8 where we took our 'O' level results..
Every time I mention to Jacey abt Shufang and the friendship both of us shared, I can talk on & on for hrs..
SERIOUS!!!!

Who says a male & a female cannot be purely friends??
Well, Shufang & I proved them wrong..
The friendship bond between us are beyond words..
Thou, as we grow older, both gets busy wif our own life hence chat/sms get lesser but one thing for sure is we make it a point to drop each other a b'day greeting sms/call during each other's birthday.
Let me tell u, without a birthday greeting from either party will makes our birthday felt so empty... (well, at least for me.. Haha!!)

Hmm...
Guess i kinna off track liao..!!!
Ok Ok!!
More den 10yrs nv seen her aldy but nuting much has changed for her in terms on outlook but hopefully her temper has changed or else Peter(her hubby) goina haf a hard time liao..
Haha!! =P
Felt very hornoured that I'm one of the 3 secondary school mates together with Jace whom she invited to attend her wedding.. but sad 2 say only me managed to turn up.

When Jace & I reached there, Shufang was still getting ready at the hotel room.
Therefore I asked Peter where Shufang is and I was kinna surprise when Peter noes who I am and inform me that she's getting ready...
Afterall, we never met b4 till the actual wedding day. Hope you dun tell Peter bad things abt me.... Haha!!

Thou some hipcus at some point or another but nevertheless its still a
Nice venue with nice food...

Usually close relatives will get 2 sit near the VIP tables where its near the stage and guess what??!!!

Jace & I are placed on a table seats seating together with shufang's cousins & relatives and its so near the stage!!!!

What the big deal you may ask??

Few days b4 her wed, she called me up to RSVP whether if I'll be attending her wedding.

I jokingly commented tat I wanna have a seat which has a good view of her 'march in' and near the stage so tat I can see clearly.

Its never came to my mind tat she took my words seriously and really placed us at the so called 'grand stand' seats!!!!

That's was REALLY REALLY sweet of her & I was really touched by this gesture.

Thanks Fang!!! =)

Congrats to you and Peter...

I'm really happy that you've found finally found someone whom I belive will love you till the end of time.

Congrats once again!! =)

Angels Brought Me Here

2008-02-04T00:27:00.000+08:00

Angel Brought Me Here

[Verse 1]
It's been a long and winding journey, but i'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces, walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes...

[Bridge]
My dreams came true, when i found you
I found you, my miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, that you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Verse 2]
Standing here before you, feels like i've been born again
Every breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name...

[Bridge 2]
My dreams came true, right here in front of you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Bridge 3]
Brought me here to be with you,
I'll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful)
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
Yes they brought me here...
If you could feel, the tenderness i feel...
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

Did an online test on my feeling from this site..
http://www.goldinuniverse.com/default.asp

I find it very true abt my current physical and psychological state now!!!!
Check it out...

Name: Lawrence

Colorgenics Number: 30754621

You seem to be trying to sweep aside the situations (and maybe the people) that you feel are standing in your way. You are impulsive and apt to follow these impulses seeking to be involved in special or exciting happenings. In this way you hope to deaden the intensity of your conflicts, but your impulsive behaviour is leading you to take some unnecessary risks. Back down a little and remember 'more haste - less speed'.

You don't feel as if you can go it on your own anymore. You don't want to be taken for granted. You need to be recognised as a 'caring person' and it could be that you are searching to establish a relationship, not necessarily with someone new, but with that someone special who could feel the same way as you do.
You are a dreamer and you seek perfection in any relationship that you may establish. Some of your ideas and standards are over the top so it may be a good idea to review your perception of life and accept people for what they are - not for what you would like them to be.

At this moment in time you feel as if you have lost the strength of will to contend with existing problems and difficulties which appear to you as deliberate opposition. You are trying to stand your ground but the pressures are intolerable. You would like some co-operation from those around you but it's not forthcoming so you feel that, in its absence, there is nothing you can do to improve the current situation. You would like nothing better than to 'get away from it all'.

Anxiety and a restless antagonism, as a result of unfulfilled emotional needs, has resulted in considerable stress. You are trying to overcome this by working and playing extremely hard - but at all times you have your future in mind. You are a worker and as a result of your inherent enthusiasm you cannot fail.

Its been a really long long time since I've updated my blog...
So long tat I tot I'll never write anything here again...
What bring me up here 2 update again is 'her'..

Jace & I are going tru pretty much of a diffcult period now...
Well, I can only say that if we pull tru this..
Our relationship will b'come stronger den ever but thats "IF" we ever pull tru..
If not that's the end of us.

She needs time to reconsider on our relationship and meanwhile she's shutting me all out.. I dun get a chance to appeal at all!!!
I've not been a good bf all along and when this afternoon when she replied to my sms asking her not to shut me off totally(at least allow my presence tru sms) she gave me a sarcastic reply:
"Tat is so ironic.
whenever i sms u, its either no reply or just a replied : haha and now u wanna sms me?"
Her reply makes me really woke me up realising wat kind of bf i've been all this while..
I'm really speechless.. and didn't know how 2 reply.
Guess I've really taken her for granted all this while..
So for what I did in the past,I really thank her for enduring wif me all this while.

I can understand y she does this as of late, I'm more like a bf in name and not being there for her physically & mentally.
Thats due to the nature of my work that set her thinking..If she can take it as she got to be alone facing the 4 walls after marriage.

Honestly saying, its been 2yrs after been together and the feeling of going to lose her has never as STRONG as now.
But if she feels tat she wanna out I'll be very sad but I'll respect her decision nevertheless coz I noe very well that there's thousand & one guys out there who will be a better den someone like me..

But for my side...
I noe very well, I would never find someone better den her again..

I just pray hard that the ending is not goina be the one tat I dread most..
But right now, the ball is in her court now...
I'm just a sitting duck waiting..

曾经有一份真诚的爱摆在我面前,但是我没有珍惜,等到失去后,才后悔莫及,人世间的痛苦莫过于此,如果上天给我一次机会让我再来一次的话,我会对那个女孩说,我爱你.

OOOoooKKKKkkkk....
I admit that I'm lazy for not updating my blog. =P

Hmm...
When was the last time I updated an inner thoughts blog on myself??
Can't recall oso..
Haha

Time to look back and see what I've been tru and encounter since the last entry...

Taste Of Singapore @ Siloso:
I officially joined Taste Of Singapore after doing my last kiosk event during CNY for Delifrance VAC.
Life workin there is a total new experience for me thou the concept is somehow similar to Delifrance Bistro.
There's many challanges while working there which prove to be very tiring at times and feel like giving up..
People relationships, logistics, manpower, more commitment towards work etc
Let's hope we can see some sunshine soon within the midest of rainy clouds...

YT:
A deadly accident took bro YT away from us on march 28th.
Its really a pity I got to know this bro for such a short period but no doubt knowing him for such a short while, he is 1 whom I shed tears when I attended his wake.
YES.. I cried. ;~(
No doubts abt it and he deserve my grief for losing this friend but DOES NOT deserve to leave this world so soon!!!

Dun wanna write too long for this part incase those that know him and read my blog remind them of his depart..
YT , May you rest in peace.. You will always be remember by us.

E-shop:
Bernard and Guoguang are setting up and online biz selling bags and stuff.
They engaged a photograher who is yours sincerly to take pics on their products.

Took me 5hrs to finish taking the photo but after looking at the results, its all worth it.. =)

LB Charity Buffet Lunch on 29th April:
As per mentioned over my last few 'decent' blog, I planned to do a charity buffet lunch for the elderly and YES!!! I've done it!!!!
Felt so good abt myself as I'm usually a team player rather den a leader as I dun like to plan and stuff but on this time round I DID IT!!
No doubt there's some hicups but we managed to pull tru!!
Cant have done it without Jacey and those who helped one way or another.
At the end of the whole thing when I was giving a debrief of the event, I was so touched that I nearly shed tears sia!! haha!!!
Luckily I held back if not darn malu sia!!!

OKKkkkk...
Thats it for now...
lazy to update liao...

Did a test on this site : http://www.paulgoldin.com/colorgenics.htm
and I find it very true abt my current physical and psychological state.

Here's the finding:
You have a vivid imagination and this is good. Great inventors, explorers all had inventive, imaginative minds. Your friends and acquaintances may consider you over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. So what ? this is a part of your character and charm.

You are very orderly, methodical and self sufficient. You demand and need the respect, recognition and understanding of all those who enter into your sphere on influence.

Everything seems to have gone wrong and the situation at this time is such that you are not quite sure which way to turn. So it would appear that you are 'holding back', re-consolidating your position and relinquishing all fun and games for the time being.

You are holding back. You need to find friends in whom you can trust and once they have proved themselves beyond all possible doubt you will be prepared to give them your all. The existing situation is not of your liking - you have an unsatisfied need for mental stimulation with others whose standards are as high as your own. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of 'total surrender'. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence 'you need to be needed' and at the same time 'you need to need'.

You feel that you need to move on. You feel that you are not appreciated or valued for what you are and that the time is 'now'. Failure to do so will not afford you the conditions to prove your worth.

Therefore should I stay or move on now...
Haizz..
I really don't know..
Feeling freaking L.O.S.T now..
=(

2007-05-23T01:43:00.000+08:00

曾经有一份真诚的爱情放在我面前，我没有真珍惜。。。
等我失去的时候我才后悔模及，
人世间最痛苦的事么过于此。。
如果上天能够给我一个在来一次的机会，我会对那个
女孩说三个字。。。我爱你
如果非要在这份爱上加一个期限；我希望是一万年。。

Are You Really Happy??

2007-03-31T02:34:00.000+08:00

You Are Really Not Happy

You may have noticed that things aren't going too well for you lately.
Your life never used to be like this, but it seems like happiness is slipping away from you.
You definitely need a change, because whatever you have going on isn't working.
It's time for you to shake things up - even if it means totally changing your life path.

How Happy Are You, Really?

Car wraps round tree in freak accident

2007-03-29T23:25:00.000+08:00

A freak accident occurred near Block 244 Bukit Panjang Ring Road, at about 1am on Thursday morning 28/03/2007 where a sports car crashed into a tree by the road.

The police was alerted about the accident occurring along Fajar Road at about 12:45am.

The firemen trying to free the driver who was being trapped in the car. It took them at least half an hour to successfully get him out.
The driver, a Chinese man in his late 20s, was travelling towards Bangkit Road when he is believed to have lost control and rammed into a tree.
As a result of the accident the driver sustained serious head injuries, and was conveyed to National University Hospital for treatment.

Just the usual accident that you see often on the papers or news but this one has a GREAT IMPACT on me...

Singaporeean Life

2007-03-21T22:51:00.000+08:00

I am Ong Ah Bee living in Kampong Chai Chee
Life used to be simple and HAPPY
I worked hard in my STUDIES.
I learned A-B-C and everything from 1, 2, and 3
Primary school was quite easy I passed PSLE

Then I went to SECONDARY
The subjects include HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY Physics, Biology and CHEMISTRY
After O levels I went to JC I was quite LUCKY

This is a small humid tropical COUNTRY
Surrounded by unknown potential ENEMIES
Boys turned 18 must go to ARMY
After that we must continue our Studies
The girls can just sit back, relax and watch TV
They come to this world only to "Chia Liao Bi"

No one lives on free meals or depends on CHARITY
I had no money to go to University or Poly
So I went to work at a FACTORY
Trying to earn a little lousy SALARY
After CPF and INCOME TAX, I have just enough money to buy ROTI and ride in MRT

Colleagues at work used to be FRIENDLY
Always treat me to tea and COFFEE
Somehow they turned FISHY
Passing bad remarks about me
Telling everybody I am LAZY

My bosses show me no SYMPATHY
Mumbling over my shoulder daily
"HURRY, HURRY and HURRY !"
Accusing me of always trying to get MC
But my sickness was due to over-stretched OT
Going home after midnight by TAXI and They pay me only bus fee

I Park-Tor and became STEADY
Finally had to MARRY
I lost money holding Wedding Dinner PARTY
Cheeky friends donating only cheap PANTY
After marriage, nothing was EASY

In one year, I became DADDY
I can't support my family and our BABY
Being tied down for life to repay HDB and rising monthly utilities to PUB
My bank account has NO MONEY POSB balance is almost EMPTY
DBS wants to charge me EXTRA FEE Insisting that "Nothing is FREE!"
So I moonlight as KARANG GUNI

Many times I want to jump into the sea to MATI
But that is not EASY
My wife cries: "Who is going to support me and our BABY?"
So I can't MATI

I went to seek assistance from the MP
His reply was simple and easy:
"Vote for me, vote for me, vote for me"
He never tell me any convincing Policy

Update 2007

2007-03-18T00:41:00.000+08:00

Its really been a long time since I last update my blog.
My gf & my wonderful ex-staff(big butt June) who helped me changed my blog skin have been bugging me to update something for them to read... Duhzzz!!!
I tot blogs are meant to work as a dairy and not for ppl to read you like a book??
LOL!!!
Anyway, just a few major updates since 2007 start:

Notice of transfer to Taste Of Singapore @ Siloso

Since Genting has been award to the Integrated Resort project hence many areas in Sentosa have to give way to the new so called 'Resort World'. Places like ferry terminal, musical fountain and Visitor Arrival Centre. Hence my outlet at VAC is affected and was told to stop operation in late march. Therefore I was informed to take over an new outlet at beach station opp. the new musical fountain called "Taste Of Singapore". Rather excited abt this as after so many years with Delifrance ( +/- 10yrs liao), I finally get to do something different!!! What's more, Martin & Joanne are no longer under my supervision!!! (Dun ask y, coz its politic) Haha!!

Bangkok Trip

Before the start of my busy period in opening the new outlet, my pri sch mates & I went for a Bangkok shopping trip just before the CNY. Its quite a fun trip and luckily for us, one of our fren's gf who is a thai brought us ard shopping and makan good local food!!! What only bother us the lack of time and $$ to spend!!! But too much heaty food caused all of us to fall sick after the trip. =(

My Two Beautiful Interns, Rona & Mischelle

Time really flies and its time to say good bye to my two interns Rona & Mischelle. These two gals really left their footprints in my life. No doubt that sometimes they really pissed me off for the mistakes that they've done, esp. Mischelle who kinna the most F@# K word from me but still, they are the two interns whom I'll miss most. We shared many fun & laughter together. I wish them all the best in their future endeavours and thank you for being in a chapter of my life.

Handover of operation at VAC

After CNY, I'm supposed to handover my duties at VAC to Anand. Actually I got mixed feelings when I handed over to him. One side I'm excited that I'm goina take on a new challenge in running a restaurant but another side is I'm goina part with my staffs at VAC. I really enjoyed myself working during CNY all Thanks to these wonderful staff I had. Despite of being so busy due to flower fest ,its so much fun with many laughter during this period. esp the time that I conduct roll-call every morning!! These toopid staff no doubt are listening to my briefing but they are more concern on how many 'Basically' that I've said during my briefing. Duhz!!!

One of my cute staff:

Understudying at Taste of Singapore

Working at TOS is totally different from working at Delifrance. I do have to admit that I'm very 'lobo' when I'm in Delifrance compared to TOS. There's so much things to learn like their set menu A,B,C,SIC,DISH and many more!!! I really need time 2 adjust myself and sad to say time is not on my side as my new outlet goina open in another 1.5mth's time and there's so much to learn!!!!

Charity work

As some of you might know that I have been collecting donations to do some charity work earlier on. So far we have collected about $1k. Thus our next move is to plan the activity itself. Actually my intention is to do the meal thingy before or during CNY, however due to work commitment (as in my line, CNY could be hell a lot busier than usual) we didn't manage to organise it then. So far, we have bought some rice, biscuits, canned food and brought it down to old age home (Bo Tien). (http://www.botien.org.sg/aged.html)

We got them some rice, biscuits, bee hoon and canned food:

We are planning to use the balance of the money to organise a mini lunch party for some needy old folks. We would be working with Lion Befriender, whereby they have a list of old folks and would help us pick 40 of them to attend the lunch party. My fren, Yuyan would be helping me with the coordination. Some rough idea on how the money would be spend:
- buffet lunch, about $8-10 per pax x 50 pax inclusive of volunteers
- get some door gifts for the old folks e.g. toiletries
- plan some games- rental of a centre to hold this event should be around $20-30 bucks
- need a bus to cater these old folks to the centre, probably need another 100 to 200 bucks
The lunch party include of cos food for the old folks, plus some games and we are also thinking of getting some gifts (e.g provisions) for them too.
So now what we need are actually volunteers to help out on that day itself.
The tentative date is on the 29 Apr 07. Its the last Sunday of Apr.
Looking for people to lend a helping hand, spare some time and that day and make the day a warm and enjoyable one for the old folks.
A little background on Lion Befriender (http://www.lionsbefrienders.org.sg/).
Its a Voluntary Welfare organisation whereby they have a list of old folks who are needy and are living alone. They conduct regular visitation to this old folks' house and organise activities for them. These old folks are also under the Govt PA Scheme whereby each month they are given $260. According to an article published in the Lian He Wan Bao on 11/3/07, they have conducted a research on how these old folks spend their $260. After deducting rental, utilities bills and some necessities expenses, they are left with about $100 to spend on meals for the whole month. Imagine $100 for 30 days, so it make up to only $3+ per day and this $3 is suppose to keep them full for the whole day? In addition, these are old folks who are living alone. I know that we all have our limitations and couldn't do much, thus what i can only do is to select a few old folks and use whatever $$ or help i can get to help them. I know that it wont be a permanent help, but at least I've tried...

Summ up 2006

2006-12-31T00:09:00.000+08:00

Hmm....

Its the last day of year 2006 and I supposed its time for me to look back of the events that I've encounter during this past year~ A lot of events took place to/around me during this year and I supposed it has made me become more 'mature' in my thinking.

As most would know, I left my old workplace at DELIFRANCE SPORE PTE LTD in feb and joined SENTOSA LESURE MANAGMENT's f&b dept. Thou I'm still running a DELIFRANCE outlet at sentosa but I must say that the exposure in job scope that I'm doing now is much better den b4. Not to mention the benefit is much better and the people I encounter are much better den SUNTEC outlet.(Close ones shld noe what happend to me back at Suntec outlet)

My first accident in ard April and it happend at JB!! I was at my wits ends den, not knowing what to do and my dad was on the other end makes me feel that his car is more impt den his son. Was with my JB frens when the accident occur and instead of helping me settle the insurance claim and stuff, they left for Genting on the very night.(So much for frens in need!!)

Got my Advance Diving licence with Jacey. This trip was supposed to go to Tioman but due to some logistic issue, the trip was cancelled and changed to Dayang. Was a bit disappointed but the company that went with us make up to all. I always have problem 'equalize' my ear and I nearly cant pass but luckily I managed to pull tru. =P

Meet the Parents session is indeed a stressful thingy as I noe that Jacey's parents does not see much abt me as even I oso feel like 'a toad after swan's flesh' at times. Afterall, our educational background are really far apart and not the mention the big diff in salary we both get. Luckily all's well and end's well during the 5 daze cruise trip.

This In-Camp Training was meant to be a xiong one as uncle BUSH from USA came to visit. Dunno y it turn out to be lobo for my section!!! Thou we are needed to stay-in but what we did was sleeping & eating most of our time!!!

As one gets older, you tend to see many friends getting married and find ur pocket's with a BIG hole from all the red bomb!!
My heart warming congrats to the couple and good luck in starting a family of ur own...
Racheal & hubby, Daniel & Carrie, Shenghan & wife.
Racheal & Carrie are expecting aldy and soon to promote to be a mother!!

To end this, I like to express my gratitude to Jacey for being there for me wherever & whenever I need her.
THANK YOU!!

Animal colour test

2006-10-28T22:54:00.000+08:00

You are Black Sheep type, who cares and have consideration for others and are easy to get on with, so you are liked by those around you.

Your personality is solid and conservative.

You tend to have a balanced and a neutral relationship.

Fortunately, this modesty leads to gain favor of the others.

To catch trend, you get absorbed in seeking information through televisions and magazines.

You know trivia and are never out of subjects in conversational.

You hate to loose and are always confident.

You are proud and almost anything that appeals to you or find it interesting, you tackle it with all your effort.

Although you are not good at bargaining, your cleverness and preciseness cover up for that.

The result is not affected by your weak point. Because you don't get attached to one thing, you are not good at long-term plans.

Sometimes you get in a pet like children when things don't go the way you like; it is to your compassionate and caring personality that people are attracted to.

Your natural sense of humor is effective way to maintain social common sense.

If you can gain a strong mind to finish off what you have started, you may even have a potential to become a successful business founder.

Stop Whining, Its Not Cool!!!

2006-10-23T00:46:00.000+08:00

Quoted from the TNP on 21Oct:

I was at the bar and met this writer. One of the first thing she said to me was:"I'm 20 and I'm jaded."
Before I even have time to stifle my cynicism, another women,this one 32 jumped in and said: "Please, I'm more jaded than you are."
The two women, belive it or not , then went on to have a 20min conversation about who was more jaded with life.
Its totally understandable.
Being jaded with life, the two girls were probably too jaded to talk about the haze, the IMF-World Bank, the Sentosa IR bid or North Korea's nuclear bomb test.
Being a pro. journalist, I just had to probe. I started with the 20yr old.
Below was our conversation.
Me: "So, jaded at 20, tell me. You're jaded b'coz you grew up in poverty-stricken North Korea, witnessed daily massacres in Somalia,lost someone close to you and you drive a cab for living(b'coz that will really get jaded)?"
Jaded20: "Ermm, no. Not quite."
Me: "Oh, so why then are you jaded?"
Jaded20: "Well,I've been working since I was 18!"
Me: "...."
Jaded20: "And I've had 2 relationships. I'm so tired with men!"
Me: "...."
Okay.
Perhaps the 32yr old would provide me insight to the fad of jaded-ness.
Me: "So, whay are YOU jaded?"
Jaded32: "There's no meaning in life."
Me: " What do you mean?"
Jaded32: "I've done everything and its meaningless."
Me: "Oh, so you dun enjoy climbing Mount Everest?"
Jaded32: "I've never done that."
Me: "Deep-sea diving at the Mariana trench?"
Jaded32: "Oh, neber done tat either."
Me: "Fought in a war?"
Jaded32: "Nope."
Me: "Been to the leaning Tower of Pisa?"
Jaded32: "...."
Since when,when I ask, did it become cool to be jaded?
And since when did having a couple of bad relationships in your life, a bad boss and too little money to buy Prada become a barometer for jaded-ness?
What's wrong with the age old tradition of being cool instead?
What's wrong with the sunglass at night, blue suede shoes and all the other things that used to represent a cool quotient, rightly or wrongly?
When did a self-perceived sense of being jaded become worth 20mins of arguement?
But here's a story to top it all off.
I know an elderly women, in her 70s.
When her husband was alive, he has sores on his legs due to his diabetes.
Every single day, three times a day, she had to help him clean his wounds.
At times she had to deal with bad infections that looked worse than the warning lebels on cigarette packs.
Then he had his leg amputated.
She took care of him 24-7, bathed him, washed him and fed him, all without a words of thanks from her spouse, as he had turned senile and paranoid.
Of her five children, one went missing b'coz of debts to loan sharks, another married a man who disappeared after her second grandson was born.
I asked her one day:" Aren't you tired?"
she said:" No. I love them, all of them. No matter what. And I'm lucky to hav all of them in my life.
"I'm old, and will soon be dying. I can go knowing I've been better off than most."
How many people can say that?"
Now, that's cool.

Stages in love

2006-10-23T00:15:00.000+08:00

Quoted from a close friend's blog which I found it veri meaningful so would like to share with you here:

First stage : I m happy as long as I m with u by my side. U are the most perfect person in my eyes
Second stage : U should be more this n that, things are not good this way, it will be better the other way, do this dun do that
Third stage : Do whatever you wan. I dun care anymore. Just dun step on my feet and over my head OR let's break / get a divorce
This only happen to modern days boys and girls. I dun see that happening with my grandma n grandpa who has never even seen each other before they get married in a match-making ceremony. As much as they hate each other, they managed to be together for so many years till now living under the same roof all along. In the 20th century today, the divorce papers would have been signed long ago. What are the factors to a long lasting marriage many years down e road?
I only attribute it to 3 words: tolerance, patience and acceptance. Tolerating each other negative points with the patience of not flaring up whenever he or she do something you dislike and accepting the person for what he / she really is.

Bonkers? Nice Place To Chill Out??

2006-10-19T02:51:00.000+08:00

Its my off day today. Finally decided to closed my HSBC investment account after dragging for a super duper long time. Got got my ex-campmate Richard to accompany me since my Jace got a wedding..ermm 2 actually to attend. He got me to go CPF board get my singpass and check my CPF balance.
Actually I know what tat guy wan frm me but ohh well.. Since CPF cant take out, I might as well take and do some investment.(need to earn more for my down payment when deciding to flat in times to come)
After going to HSBC HQ we went to coffeebean at paragon for a drink and do some catching up.
You cannot belive how much 2 guys can tok. From Ns to Women to Future n many more...
We decided to switch location to a pub,Bonkers at Tanjong pagar which Richard frequent recently.
Actually I dun really like pubs as I find it noisy and u need 2 shout when toking to people there.
Anyway since Richard wanna go so we go lor..
Upon reaching, we met another of our campmate,Eric who happened to be there with his friend.
Join them on the same table and drink...
This pub is with a concept that their waitress will chat/sing with you and they'll ask you to treat them 'Lady's Drink' which cost ard $10-$12 per glass. This is where they are able to earn commison from but the glass is really freaking small!! Not worth at all!!
I calculate to Richard that going to such Pub is freaking expensive and not worth it at all and the expenses there is as good as going to sleazy pub/ktv and you get something more 'worthwhile'
But he said tat he dun like such sleazy place and the waitress here are friendly.
What a carrothead!!! Sleazy ktv's gals are more friendly. LOL!!! (That's an example only and sleazy place is not for me after I got a wonderful Gf nw!!)
Anyway, we chat,drink till 2am b4 heading back to our pillow....

Singapore Sentosa Integrated Resort part 2

2006-10-16T01:13:00.000+08:00

They are Education Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Minister of State for Trade and Industry S Iswaran. The duo will join other ministers like Mr Mah Bow Tan, Mr Lim Hng Kiang, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan and Mr Raymond Lim to form the tender approving authority.

Yes!! Ministers are coming and all our set-up must be veri standard!!!
Had told Anand(Beachfront) two days ago that I need him and his baker, Dennis to assist me with the set-up and stuff.
That idiot agreed 2 help but in the end nv turn up 2 help at all!!!
I'm darn pissed off sia!!!
Luckily Fendi(Skybar) and Anthony(Banquet) helped me without me asking!!!
P/s: Somebody should be ashamed of himself!!

After all is done, Joanne cheekily called up Beachfront asked how come nv come and help me and guess wat tat idiot said? " He nv ask me to help ma" OMG~!!!
Lets take it tat I nv ask u for help which I did, do u think u shld be on auto-gear and to offer your help??!!!

After tat he did called me to 'ma hou pao' offering his baker to help me for the function...
Had done most of what's needed. What's the point?!

Reminder passage

2006-06-29T12:11:00.000+08:00

Guess came across this and thought of sharing it with all..

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment.
My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell...
anything for the money we needed, she was such an embarrassment.

There was this one day during elementary school.I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed.How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom,
"Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock.
Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time,
it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time. Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly,
as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away.
Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart.
Even so,I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University
with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too.
Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!" ...
It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me.

My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye. And I asked her, "Who are you?I don't know you!!!" as if he trying to make that real. I screamed at her
"How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!" And to this, my mother quietly answered,
"oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared.
Thank good ness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care,
or think about this for the rest of my life.Then a wave of relief came upon me...one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.
I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the oldshack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground.
But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.She wrote:My son... I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit Seoul anymore...
but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while?
I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.
But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye,
and I was an embarrassment for you. You see, when you were very little, you got into

an accident, and lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye...
so I gave you mine...I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new worldfor me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did.
The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.'
I miss the times when you were still young around me. I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me.

My world shattered!!!Then I cried for the person who lived for me. My MOTHER

Juz Another Day...

2006-06-14T20:27:00.000+08:00

14th June... Nuting special abt this day..
I'm supposed to work noon shift and start work @ 12 noon but guess wat??
I woke up @ 12pm... hehe!! =P
Guess I'm too shag out frm last nite's date with my gf, Jacelyn...
Went wash-up and off to S.E.N.T.O.S.A (So Expensive Nothing To See Also)
Reached VAC deli @ ard 1.30pm and started using the laptop since I got xtra staff working today...

Was preparing a proposal to my boss Alan as to launch a mail-drop promotion at Sentosa.
Had been working out on the profit margin and the pros n cons of this promotion.
I have actually mentioned to fendi regarding abt this yesterday but sad to say he's not keen to the idea and reminded me that Delifrance HQ likely wun agree to this...
I den checked with the Delifrance Marketing exec, Wendy and Snr Area Mgr, Carol about this but they cant give me a definite ans as in if Sentosa is allow to do this promotion. They need to seek their senior management advise on this..
Afterall, we r franchise outlet and they are worrying that there will b double standard if we were doing this promotion as they r trying to 'upgrade' their brand.
Oh well, nevertheless... I still prepare the proposal and pray hard that Delifrance HQ agree with this promotion and boss give us the green light to carry on..

After the simple proposal is done, i discussed the idea with Annand as I worry that this promotion might affect his sales @ beachfront.
He seems to like the idea as he agree that if we dun try we'll neber noe...
Had send him an email n attached with all the relevent details, maybe discuss with him tmr.

Pray hard that we can go ahead with the promotion...
I've joined Sentosa for 4 mths aldy n i have yet got the chance to contribute my expertise to the company...
Well, partially b'coz the ppl here rather stuck in the mud kind and refuse to change... haha
