Memory Lane

I still remember clearly when I was still a little angel back then, my mum use to tell me stories about 十八层地狱 (18th levels of hells); how if we did bad things we will end up suffering in hell. And to strongly empathize on that, she would bring us to the famous “虎豹别墅” (Har Paw Villa) to show us the lively sculptures that craft out each level of hell.

The signage at the entrance of Haw Par Villa

I got a chance to revisit this place recently after my last visit which was like 20 years back, ok I admit is 30 years ago. It used to be free entrance until some years back they decided to make it into a theme park and charge at rocket high fees but luckily it was not a success and they pull out of the villa. Now it is re-open with FREE entrance, but I have to say, the inside look abit rugged and dirty but then what to complain since it’s free.

I went with my family and it was not a planned trip; just that we happen to be around that area and no where else to go. Despite that I was real excited about it, it was like meeting my childhood sweetheart again; it was one of the famous places that we use to go when we were kids.

The first of the 18th level King of Hells.

I saw that the MRT next to it is about to be finish, does that means that they are going to put an entrance fees to it soon since I’m sure it will generate crowds.

My Office's Buddy



My new buddy in office. My boss has given me a new assignment and that is to take care of the new member in the office, the "Change Luck Bamboo". Supposingly it is to change luck; but then what if my luck is already good, then will it change otherwise?

Well, since it and me are buddies now, let's hope it is just doing half its' job and that is changing my bad luck to good and do nothing when I am having my good luck.

HUAT AH!!!

Going Green

Finally I am re starting my blog again.

Blogs are like diary, at times when you read back, you will be surprise what you had done and the different thoughts and views at that point of time compare to the current ones and it brings back lots of memory; but one have to agree it’s not easy to maintain.

Maintaining a blog is like maintaining your weight. It requires lots of discipline and like weight you can’t input too many “junk” as it is open for all to read. So in other words, you can’t be penning down your darkest secret here. let's take an example of me, my darkest secret is “I am weighting pass 60kg.” Imagine once I said that, how many enemies I'm going to make.

So back to about my blog, I’ll write about what I have been doing with my diet recently.

I have been taking vegetables and fruits for lunch lately for the past one week plus. Not that I believe I’m a goat, nor that I’ve become a part time vegetarian. Some say going vege can save the earth; and if you do a Google search, you find some info on that; but that’s not why I am going green in my lunch but rather psychologically I just felt healthier and man around my age got to watch out what we are eating.

                                

         My lunches

Does that explain why I am weighing at 60kg now? Nah, I don’t think so because I used to weight lower than that. Anyway, I’m still taking meat just not for lunch during weekdays. And because I said that doesn’t means I’m not environment friendly. In fact I am, given that at broad daylight, I don’t on my office lights but rather open the window blinds, allowing the sunlight to shine in making the office still bright for work and helping to bring down the air con temperature too and these end up in saving energy.

                                                        See, still bright and fit for work

It’s not like I done a lot, but at least is something. Seeing my mum sorts out her rubbish and making an effort to ask me bring down to the environment bins and constantly nagging me to put them at the correct bins can’t help but to ask her why was she so environmental friendly, and all she say, “I’m just doing my part”.

Mummy knows best.
