Are you talking about my rock???

Seriously...I hope he is not talking about the rock I'm currently staying in.  If he is, then I suppose this ungrateful piece of **** should return to Hawaii.  There are many more who wishes to be stuck on this rock.  Should I unfriend him on FB now?

This should be a good place to rest and do nothing

Found this really nice resort in Malaysia.  The entrance alone attracted me.  This is probably only good for a 2D1N trip.  Any longer, you will be bored to tears because....well, this is it!  There's nothing else except a Japanese garden, animal park, bowling, archery (yes, archery...something I had always wanted to do besides rifle shooting), botanic garden, spa and coffee houses.  A good place to finish the book you have always been wanting to read but had no time to do so.  Imagine sitting at the coffee house, sipping your afternoon tea and reading that book which had been collecting dust at home.  Lovely, isn't it?  Can be quite chilly in the night though....and oh, misty in the early mornings too.

Here...the interior.  Quiet little resort up in the hills.

If you are sick and tired of the hustle and bustle of it's neighours (KL and Genting), you can consider this place for some quiet retreat.  Can guess the name of the place already???

Book sale

Went to the Book Sale at Expo right after Easter service.  Grabbed 4 books while battling through the loud noise coming from Megatex next door.  Think they were selling LCD TV and camera or something like that (saw from the poster at the entrance) at super low price....so all the blaring was probably to advertised them.


Nonetheless, I managed to grab whatever Gary Chapman books they have.  Bear in mind that you need to read his "The 5 Love Languages" book in order to better understand these 2 books.  Some of the terms used were taken from that book.

The next 2 books are quite interesting too.  Had a little bit of time to briefly go through the "What God does when men lead" book and I'm glad I bought it!  It had always been man's destiny to lead.  This book is basically written for men but there's no harm having a women read it because then we can better help the men we are in contact with.  Many men don't believe that they have what it takes to lead.  This book will show you how.

The other book is also quite interesting.  Rather than sulking, taking revenge, getting mad...etc, there are other ways to handle mistreatment. Therefore, being mistreated is not a cause for anger or self-defense even though it goes against human's every natural impulse to watch your abusers get off scott-free.

I'll see if I got the time to do chapter summaries for those books here.  If not, then get the book yourself.  At least you will be able to write and underline on the pages.....

Great catch up with an old friend

Had a super belated birthday lunch with an old friend.  Reason for the belated lunch is because when she is free, I'm busy...when I'm free, she's somewhere around the globe.  The good thing is that I just found out she lives within walking distance from where I stay.  So there will be more catch ups until perhaps July when she goes back to States (yah, I know she is kiwi...but she grew up in States) prior to her move to errr.....was it Israel?

Anyway, these are the food we had....looks tiny but they are really filling!!  Brought her to Keystone because well...I was lazy.  Keystone is the only restaurant where I can put down the menu and say to the waitress "I'll let the chef decide".  See!  I don't even need to think of what to eat!

These are what we had:

• Rosemary and Parmesan garlic charcoal bread
• Georges bank sea scallop - Hummus Purée | Dehyrdated Cherry Tomato | Smoked Kurobuta Soil
• 43° Salmon gravlax - Tat Soi | Smoked Cream | Arctic Char Caviar | Tarragon Pommery (+$5)
• Autumn celeriac velouté - Mascarpone | Cipollini Onion Beignet | Lobster Concentrate 
• Kurobuta steak frites - Dehyrdated Yukon & Cheese | Heirloom Vegetables | Mission Fig Ketchup 
• Norwegian flat white - Chanterelle Fricassée | Smoked Berskshire Belly | Smoked Sea Urchin Foam (+$6)
• "Our" sticky date - Butterscotch Fondue | Charcoal Tuile | Tonka Bean Parfait
• Composition of fruits - Coconut Palm Sorbet | Sudachi Lime Curd | Peppered Tropics 
• I had English breakfast tea and she had coffee (+$14)

Set lunch is at $38++.  Our total damage is $111.10.  Nice number to buy 4D! lol.  The sea scallop thingie wasn't on the lunch menu or was it part of the set lunch. I don't know how we got it...we just got it somehow.  As long as we didn't get charged for it, I wouldn't complain too much :)  Oh wait!  It's on the dinner menu!
       

Unsung heros of Singapore

They are the ones who helped build the place you now live in.  For those of you who have been discriminating them, aren't you ashame of yourself?  It's time we have a little sense of gratitude towards them.  They took the jobs that we, Singaporeans, didn't want to take.  They work from 8am to 7pm, 7 days a week for a mere $18 per day...

Mum and daughter talk

Just a few days ago, mum asked: "为什么你的爱情路走得这么辛苦?"  Hmmm....how do I answer that...Since I don't know the answer, I just shrugged my shoulders and walk off -_-"

Only Love - Trademark

2 am and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me

But only love can say
Try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day

So I just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough
If we learn to trust

But only love can say
Try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'll give my dreams just one more chance
To let this be our last goodbye

But only love can say
Try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day

So I just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

That's something only love can do
