"In today's world, people experience two types of poverty :

(1) the poverty caused by lack of food, clothing and shelter, and
(2) the poverty caused by lack of love and compassion.


Of these two, the second type needs to be considered first because, if we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will whole heartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter." ~ Amma Amma visits to Singapore came to me at the right time. I desperately needed some support from someone or somewhere. This feelings have not been around me for a long long time. It was the first time that I went to Amma darshan

What have amazed and touched me is that she have traveled from a long distance to Singapore and many places to hug hundreds and thousands of strangers. Many people have queued and waited for hours and for me, thanks to my dear Amy, I waited for a few hours only. It was definitely worth the waiting.

Darshan, the Embrace when spiritual leader Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (or Amma),hugs her followers from all around the globe (many westerner followers as well). I do not know what Amma can actually help me but when she hug me and bless me, my feeling was so intense that I feel like hugging a very close family member.

Hi Hi My Fans, stop swearing and cursing me. I know I've been missing in action because :
1) I busy working
2) Busy earning and spending coins in Pet Society
3) Really busy updating my outstanding blog... (Reason due to facebook)

♥ Totally addicated ♥


I'm in my house with a apple hat I found somewhere. There's a lot of stuffs that I wanted to buy but still very poor so my house is still kinda bare
Sis found herself a watermelon hat too :)
I wanted these 2 items from the weekly special but have missed it :(

This is my new toy bought to clean up the computer keyboard. According to the findings of the study conducted by the University of Arizona and reported on the BBC website, the average desktop computer carried 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat.
Though very slimy but very useful to clean the keyboard. Just roll , squeeze and press it into the crevices between the keys. It pick up the dirt and dust and most importantly is not sticky after cleaning. Useful tools !!

Movie marathon recently .. since finally got a break from work. Today watched "Hotel For Dogs" and yesterday night have watched "Marley & Me" with 小馬哥.

WOW! All related with my loves ... dogs ♥

My Loves
1) Smart looking Jack Russell Terrier "Friday" who loves to eat and can smell a hotdog 200yards away. He got "the nose knows" capability.

2) Weird pair Lenny & Georgia a tiny Boston Terrier who sees lenny as a bodyguard. She a happy fetcher.

3) Cooper a funny lovable goof who loves to chew .. shoes , carplate ... etc

In actually fact, all the pups are so lovable. I've reserved the book "Marley & Me" before it arrive in Kinokuniya and once started a few pages. At least must managed to grab the movie before it ends. I cry at the last part of the show when Marley was getting ill and weak and she was resting under the tree not wanting to move into the house.
I brought mimi home when she was a puppy and out of the group she was the most timid and quiet. Luckily she not like Marley - the world’s worst dog. But I think even the worst dog will still stand by ur side if you care for them. I thinking how can I bear to let my best friend goes when she grow older and weaker. I was crying when she stay weak on the bed in the vet clinic. Can't sleep and missing her when she was in the hospital. Even till now when she vomitted every week .. I would called Dr Prakash to inform her. ♥♥ Mimi is my BEST FRIEND ♥♥

Dinner at my favourite vegetarian place in Suntec - Loving Hut. Have been there many times without realising they are serving only vegetarian. I ordered my favourite Silky Tofu Mushroom Set and Sweet Sour Nuggets Set that comes with brown rice and soup. Delicious food of reasonable pricing.

Had lunch with Angelia and Carline at Kotobuki @ Shenton Way before the training started . Meet angelia with her Hakushika taru sake and our new friend Carline. I wondered why my friend, drunken dragon can always drink no matter it is in the afternoon or night :)
Here comes our chicken katso curry and ten zaru soba.

I am not a Hello Kitty Fan .. Really! But ever since MAC launched the new limited edition M.A.C Hello Kitty Collection in collaboration with SANRIO ... it is just so fabulous and I want to collect everything.

I bought the brush collection and soft black pleather 8" Hello Kitty doll in a 60’s style black & white dress with pink trim and iconic pink bow . Most of the items were already sold out when I hit the stores.
A black plastic brush holder in the shape of a Hello Kitty head complete with her iconic pink bow with basic set of brushes for face and eyes.
As I stress myself again, I AM REALLY NOT A FAN OF HELLO KITTY! But somehow 小馬哥and his kaki were all busy collecting until Mr Stress Johnson could also tell which kitty he be getting by feeling the black plastic wrapping. (He collecting this gift for his wife named "KITTY")
Wth the help from all kaki, I managed to collect all except fortune kitty. I WANT THE FORTUNE KITTY !!!

The comes with pen or container that you can use to store small items. Cute and useful aren't they :)
My collection ... KAWAII Hello Kitty figurines
They have in in Taiwan and Hong Kong much early as well

Watched the cartoon "The Tale Of Despereaux" with Dardar and a cinema full of kids (school holiday) in Orchard Cineleisure. Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread. Cute mouse versus Ugly rat ..

Lunch at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe. Nice wallpaper
No appetite so I ordered instant noodle topped with radish egg and pork floss . Dardar french toast served with butter and drizzled with lots of maple syrup. SWEET !!

Can't believe that actually my previously gel nail done have lasted for 3 weeks exactly and in fact is still nice and beautiful (Just that I am sick of the design). This time I have choose to draw with acrylic flowers of pink and white colors on my gel nails. ♥ So Sweet :)
As for the toe nail design, this time Esther tried something different. Colorful rainbow with smiling cloud and blue pokka dots ribbon on the other nails. Is really bright and cheerful to see the cute designs. Am I too old for these .. NO ... I DON'T CARE ... JUST LOVE IT !! ♥♥

Can't believe the amount of food we ate today .. is not me alone that glutton ..Dragon was around too with Pat for lunch in Din Tai Fung 鼎泰丰at paragon. We were waiting for Pat for at least an hour to come to Dragon house before we can leave house for lunch. (She staying one floor above Dragon).

2 hungry women = very angry women.
After lunch and some shopping in town, headed to Jim Thompson on Dempsey Hill. Just seems as if we are in some part of Thailand.
This place outdoor has an air of rustic charm, and indoor it is as luxurious, sophisticated and lavishly decorated.
The hall is filled with Jim Thompson's home collection furnishings. Nice housewares at the table in Jim Thompson. Dragon favourite - Taro balls in coconut milk. QQ taro balls but too sweet for me.
Pricey but delicious glutinous rice with mango. Not the best I have tried before though.
Lastly, we settled dinner cum supper in St. Regis Brasserie Les Saveurs. Service was really good and I supposed that the price should be expensive but reasonable for such tasty food. Mmmm !

This place have nothing to do with arts but instead is a wonderful place that served vegetarian cuisine and was set up in May 2005 to provide an avenue for adolescents with mild intellectual disability to acquire life skills upon completing their special education. They served a variety of delicious dishes here.

Loves taking the rice with gravy sold here.
小馬哥fried pineapple rice.

Watched Academy Award Winner "Departures" with Dardar @ GV Tampines today. This film won the Best Foreign Language Film of the year. Such mixed feeling to watch this type of movie on a rainig day. I enjoyed the show very much though it was on the slower pace with lovely music and scenery.
I would say the movie is balanced between humor and wrenching emotional struggle in departures of the dead. Though in Singapore, wakes and funeral are very common but to see the rite of encoffinment is very rare. Just like the Japanese tea ritual, one that must be performed in perfection. The body is laid out covering with a white sheet and the deceased clothes are then removed to changed to burial clothes with then the makeup is applied. The whole process is prepared right in front of the family sitting and watching, as the one they loved is made to look alive once again before their eyes. At the final parting sending the dead on their way .. everything done peacefully and beautifully.



Life and death is a must process of everyone and there will always come a time when one departs. I've gone thru the birth and death of my loved one and will never forget the way it look when he departs. A movie thats definitely worth watching.

搞笑 .. Kinda sad when listening to this song on such a rainy day.

What's Granny Secret? A cafe nestled in OG @ Albert Street by Yikowei.
Interior was beautifully done up .
We ordered the five-fortune a sampling of - glutinous rice, yam cake, pumpkin cake, carrot cake and kueh pie tee that cost $11.80.
Would not say that it is very delicious, generally just simple food fare that is quite expensive and not exactly cheap with the GST and service charge added.
