Fish Spa

Finally, I went to QianHu to have a try on the fish spa. Been wanted to go over since Jan, but was always pushed back due to 100 & 1 reasons.

There are two types of “pools” – one is for those normal small fishes that are for fish spa. The other one is for “big” fishes.

If you ask me, how “big” are the fishes? Hmm well, estimated around 20cm (I guess).

The fish spa cost $10 per half an hour; it will be a good experience to try it at least once.

Well, I did not really feel much when I first try the small fishes pool. I am not afraid of ticklish feeling at the bottom of my feet so it was fine for me. But for the “big” fishes pool, it was scary. Haha, imagine so many fishes coming your way to “eat” the skin on your feet. However, after a couple of tries, I can finally put my feet into the water without shouting for HELP. It was quite sensational initially; you can feel the fishes “eating” the skin on your feet.

After trying both, I think it will be more worth it to go for the big fishes pool.

简单的幸福

什么是简单的幸福?

今天早上我在吃着妈妈准备的爱心早餐, 就有这种感觉

和三五个好友吃饭聊天,

于姐姐妹妹在床上看电视或聊天,

周末和科达在家打game,

无聊在床上看书,

只要是和自己喜欢的人或做自己喜欢的事情,

就是简单的幸福

你可否同意?

 

Kelong Trip

Went to my 1st kelong trip with my family last weekend, it was a very enjoyable one.

The Kelong is located in I think eastern part of JB, we had charted a mini bus to fetch us from home to drive us to the jetty in Jb & took a 45min ferry ride to our destination – Hotboy Kelong.

There is nothing much to do there except for fishing & slacking around. Bear bear, XX & me are fishing practically for the whole day & the rest – 40, James, mummy, daddy & Sky playing mahjong all the way.

Relieve

I really do feel relieve at last.

After my months of slogging for my assignments & exams, I finally know what is “free”.

I am tired of burning my weekdays evening & whole of weekends for assignments.

& tired of rejecting any dates with friends or families (because of assignment again).

I am drained out………

Hmm I want to make full use of this holiday break before school starts again.

I just want to slack at home, watch TV, play sims, surf net, catch up with friends etc etc.

I want to be a slacker!!

How I wish I don’t have to work!!

Especially with those colleagues who practically wait for you to do everything.

From simple things like making a call to service a faulty copier or photocopying documents to every other things.

To make thing worse, a new Bxxx to “serve”

My existing Bxxx has not leave yet, so still have to do all his stuff & his preparation to go home.

Then the new one – is like an anxious spider.

Everything also ask, when he don’t know anything, he also don’t bother to figure out by himself.

Just open his mouth & ask me, expect me to help him to do everything.

I am just back from my leave (exam) & is trying hard to clear my backlog & there he is to “make” me more busy.

Anyone tell me what to do!!!!!

Live Like You’re Dying

Kinda of quite like this song recently, although it has been around for quite sometime. Find it nice & meaningful.

Live Like You’re Dying – Lenka

one of these days you’ll be

under the covers you’ll be

under the table and you’ll realize

that all of your days are numbered

all of them one to one hundred

all of them millions

all of them trillions

so what are you gonna do with them all?

you can not trade them in for more

no no

take every moment, you know that you own them

it’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you

give me a reason

to fight the feeling

that there’s nothing here for me

cause none of its easy

i know it wasn’t meant to be

i know it’s all up to me

it’s all up to me

so what am i gonna do with my time?

oh

i’ll take every moment, i know that i own them

it’s all up to you to do whatever you choose

live like you’re dying and never stop trying

it’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you

all of the moments you didn’t notice

gone in the blink of an eye

and all of the feelings you can’t help feeling

no matter how you try

oh oh

take every moment, you know that you own them

it’s all up to you

to do whatever you choose

live like you’re dying and never stop trying

it’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you

live like you’re dying and never stop trying

it’s all up to you, use what’s been given to you

oh oh

Nature walk – Chek Java

I went to Chek Java in Pulau Ubin with XX & her Colleagues last Sunday. It has been years since I last went there, it has become much more commercialise. There are many more stores for renting bicycles & more “Zi Char” stores. Somehow, it has lost its original “Kampong” feel. The building for the so-called “school” during that time has been converted to Npark building (if I remember correctly), the only thing left at the site is – the “discarded” basket ball court.

Though with the changes & horrible weather, I still enjoy the trip. Thanks to Debbie, Debbie’s friend, Diyah & XX.

 Nice Weather

Water with lots of grass?

XX, what are you looking for?

Crabs – the most “creature” i saw on that day

Fried oyster, anyone?

Lonely tree yearning for company

I am the temp-company

Nice “love-shape” leaves

 After climbing the view tower, my legs are trembling

Is Attap fruits or flower?

Europe country side?

XX & colleagues

Back view

So far….

They are still looking for something….

I think I will go with XX again to have a real walk in the swamp after our exams.

Stupid or Naive

How would you classify a person?

Stupid or naive?

I have a male friend, Age: 40+, Educational level: Diploma, currently working as an Engineer

A couple weeks ago, someone from overseas call him to do a survey.

Since he was doing nothing at work, he just entertained them & did the survey.

2 weeks later, the person who asked him to do the survey called up & told him that he won a lucky draw (so drama right)

He won a luxury shower set worth S$70K – Congratulation! (What kind of shower set worth S$70K – gold plated?)

There were two options for him:

A) to ship the set over from Hong Kong

B) to “sell” the item back to the sponsor and receive money in return.

Of course my friend chose option B, who would want a shower set to be shipped over & some more it worth S$70K ~

Those people from the survey company called up 3-5 times a day to chat with my friend (brainwashing him)

So in order for the money to be remitted to him, he needed to 1^st TT some money to them to cover for administration fees & insurance etc.

4K – Administration fee

7K – Insurance

And guess what, my friend really TT the money over to them, without finding out more information.

He don’t even know who was the other party that he TT his money over.

The other party claimed to be some “charity organization”.

Don’t you find it funny, a survey company becomes a charity organization?

The survey people committed that after he TT the money over, he will receive his S$70K in the next few days

My dear friend even gave him all his information like IC number, bank account number etc.

To make things worse, this some of money was borrowed from his sister

Well, as per all stories goes. Of course he did not receive the money as per committed.

He called up the survey people and they made up some stories to him.

& trust him, my friend actually buys their stories and he still tell them never mind.

My friend kept saying thank you to them & expressing his gratitude. & he kept emphasizing on the “Gratitude”.

OMG, can you believe this? Is he really that naive?

Frankly, I will classify it under greed. Who really believe that money will “fall” from sky?

Such cases had been widely reported in our news & even on crime watch. They are on-going for quite a few years.

My 77 year old grandma also knows that this is a fraud, how could someone like my friend fall into such trap?

* Please please, relate this story to anyone that you know. This is a true story that happened to my friend.

Intention is not to imply that they are stupid, naive or greedy, sometime it is just good to re-highlight such things to them to raise their alertness and prevent more of such cases.

My naive friend only went to the police after he can’t find the survey people, but it was all too late.

Better be safe than to be sorry.

Time to Go

People come & people go

Happiness will come with them

Unhappiness will follow by when they left

This is part & parcel of life

Time will heal everything

Do not be sad, she had lived a life of 99 years

Seen everything she were required to see

I know you will miss her

She will live in our heart as long as our mind is “alive”

 

Baby Sister

This is especially dedicated to my baby sister. She is currently facing a lot of different challenges, from personal issues to work. I just want her to be happy, do not GIVE UP. We are there for you!

Guidance from our Mentor ~ Daisaku Ikeda

~~~~~~~~~~

Reality is harsh. It can be cruel and ugly. Yet no matter how much we grieve over our environment and circumstances nothing will change. What is important is not to be defeated, to forge ahead bravely. If we do this, a path will open before us.

~~~~~~~~~~

When you clearly envision the outcome of victory, engrave it upon your heart, and are firmly convinced that you will attain it, your brain makes every effort to realize the mental image you have created. And then, through your unceasing efforts, that victory is finally made a reality.

~~~~~~~~~~

It is precisely when we have suffered defeat that we can determine to win and open the path to future victory.

~~~~~~~~~~

Together we will work towards our Victory!
