Hello Are You A Boss Part 2 ??

2010-01-12T23:35:00.003+08:00

The place shown above in the pic is located at Bedok known as Bedok Market place otherwise also know as Simpang Bedok.. Just a small introduction on this place ...Bedok Market Place is one of the food havens in singapore, it is located near Bedok Road, around 200m from the main road, which is the Upper Changi Road East. It's somewhere between the Tanah Merah MRT station and Expo, and it's quite within walking distance from the Tanah Merah MRT station. Bedok Market place is like lined up with many eating outlets, serving local delights of roti prata, satay, roti john, zi char, western, etc etc. There's a whole stretch of tables lined up in front of the shops, and customers are free to seat anywhere along the stretch and order food from any of the stalls, without restrictions, like a hawker center just like WAI SEK KAI in KL. As most of the stalls are operated by the malay communities, the food here are mostly halal certified, attracting lots of malay folks to dine there with their wide variety of choices. Nevertheless, it also attracts many non-malays to gather there for dinner and sessions of chit chatting. Tables are plenty, and if you can't find one along the stretch, there is another whole stretch of tables along the other side of the shops.

Ok enough of the introduction.. this is also the place where I might open my upcoming pet shop.. why i used the word MIGHT is because I and my nephew are still looking into it.. Went to talk to the owner of the pet shop.. take over fee is the same as in woodlands and it is smaller and not that spacious compare to woodlands.. Rental is definitely cheaper here the shop is smaller.. around 250sqf. One thing good about this shop is that many existing customer in their records for grooming or delivery.. owner is letting go due to changing of trade after 9 years in the pet business..

Although I am still not too sure on which location to pick , but one thing I am sure is that for the coming weeks , I and my nephew will be working very hard on our plan and project , doing all the suvey and marketing and making this plan a reality..

Hello Are You A Boss ??

2010-01-07T19:08:00.002+08:00

Hello Boss !!!

You'll wondering why did I upload this mall in my blog.. well this is The WoodGrove Mall , it is located at Woodlands Ave 1.. Counting back it is almost 5months since I last work and my body is itching for work ... afterall a person can't stay idle forever.. Came across an ad in the internet which says PET SHOP for Takeover.. So I had a discussion with my cousin whom both of us are dog lovers... we decided to take a look at the shop that is for takeover and if it is good I and my cousin will takeover the shop and become our own boss for the pet shop... Yipeee !!

As my cousin is still working, I made my way down to the mall today to do a survey.. the pet shop is quite spacious at 450sqf. After walking around the mall and the shop and around the vicinity , here is my finding.. the mall is surrounded by condos and landed property and it is the only pet shop around that area.. Only thing is the takeover fee is not cheap .. 5 figure sum ..rental wise is affordable.. Since I and my cousin are both pet lovers , why not channel this interest into a daily affair and be our own boss..

After working for 10 years , I think to myself whether I am ready to be a boss or just continue to be a salaried worker ?? After all the hard work and the hours you put in is all worth it because at the end of the day all the money goes into your pocket rather than your employer pocket.. Finally this is my break.. no more endure all the nonsense from bosses .. It is also a make or break for me like I told christy in her upcoming movie " The Rose " before.. If I make it then who knows by the age of 45 I can retire and even buy a farm in australia as this is always my dream.. but if it breaks (Touch wood) then I might be a bit too old to look for a job.. and all my years of hard saving might just be wipe out like that.. looks like I had to go down to the Guan Yin temple again ..

I throw it all out this time.. this is the only chance for me and I don't want to look back and think WHAT IF ?? . If Mr Kenny Yap(Qian Hu) can get himself public listed by selling fishes , why can't I KW get mysef also listed doing pet shop.. Ok this is our target , we had decided to break even by a year and by 3 years we intend to open at least 5 shops around singapore.. and in 5 years time our dream is to hit countries like malaysia , indonesia and thailand.. Lol , u all might laugh at me because business have not even start and yet dare to think so far.. Lol hahaha..

Tomorrow I still had to make a trip down to bedok to take a look at another pet shop for takeover... which after that I will have to make up my mind and liaise with the owner and do some renovation before opening.. Our target is to open our shop by MARCH .. And at the same time , we welcome all walks of people who wanna be our partners in this business .. With that I had to stop here as I gotta do my quotation ... so busy !!!!

Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple

2010-01-04T18:04:00.007+08:00

Kwan Im Thong
Hood Cho Temple
178 Waterloo Street, Singapore 187964

Dear Readers,

Happy New Year to you all and may year 2010 be a better year in whatever you do... Although my rate of readers are really pathetic, 1 hand can count but I am still satisfied as 3 folllowers of my blog are better than none...

I don't know about you all but for me year 2009 is not a really good year for me.. don't wish to elaborate as never wash my dirty linen in public lor.. Finally year 2010 has come and like every year , I went down to the Goodness Of Mercy aka Guan Yin temple at Waterloo st to pray and at the same time ask for my overall for year 2010.. Just a short note to all those who do not know where is this temple.. this temple is very famous, Hongkong have it's own Wong Tai Sin temple, Thailand had it's own four face buddha, Malaysia had it's own very famous Perak Cave (Pi Li Tong) and Guan Yin temple in penang. And Singapore , she had this Guan Yin temple to be proud of.. a little history for all who is curious ..

The Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple was built in 1884 on a 500 square metre plot of
land along Waterloo Street. It has expanded over the years as a result of several renovations
and extensions to its premises.
The main objective of the temple was to provide a place of worship primarily of
Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, for the migrant Chinese population in Singapore.
When Singapore was bombed by the invading Japanese air force during World War
II, the Temple was spared, despite the near-total destruction of many adjacent buildings.
During this period the Temple provided refuge for the sick, the wounded and the homeless.
In 1983, the Temple was rebuilt and enlarged to its present day size and in 2001 it
was marked as a historic site.

Ask any auntie in singapore on where is this temple and they will tell u straight.. it is famous because it had been said that this temple is known for people to receive good luck after worshiping at the temple, thus making it a popular temple to visit. Most devotees visit the temple on the first or fifteenth day of Chinese New Year. The temple is well known for its divination activity. Qian or divining sticks which are wooden sticks with writing on it, are placed in a brass can and shaken. These cans have been resounding in the temple since 1884. When such sticks fallout, they are interpreted to tell one's future. In 1990, the temple was the first in Singapore to provide divination slips in English for English-educated devotees and visitors.

Like every year without fail, I also involve myself in the divination sticks aka qiu qian.. The divination in this temple is very very spot on and whenever I have issues that I can't think of a solution or need to ask for a guide , the divination stick that come out are always spot on.. many famous hongkong & local artist are known to visit this temple every now and then.. I got myself stick 23 and exchange for the pink slip of paper as shown above in the photo. It actually say that I have finally reached the gate of heaven and an old friend will let me in though the well guarded gate... it simple means good luck in year 2010 for me and everything will be smooth for me... I heave a sigh of relief when I saw this.. finally after so many years of not so good year, I finally have a better year to look forward to.. You might describe me as superstition but I really believe that when you have a religion , you have faith in the things you do...

Whether this stick 23 remains to be truth or not , it will have to wait until end of year 2010 where I will recall ... for now I am more than happy to kick start the year 2010.. If you all ever drop by singapore , do pay a visit to this temple and if you have issues or problem which you wanna ask, do take up the divination stick.. Qiu Qian..

ps : never ask for strike of lottery or 4D ....

My New Darling !!!

2009-12-29T01:33:00.002+08:00

My New Found Love !!!

Came across an ads in the papers today which goes like this " 3 Australian Pure Breed Shi Tzu puppies for sale " As I always had a liking for Shi tzu , I decided to call up the owner to JUST view the puppies with no intention of buying as I already had Max & Kit (refer to my earlier blog) . Make an appointment at 8.30pm to view the puppies.

Met the couples who were from australia and here on business trips. It was Love at first sight when I saw her. So cute and lovely and the colour is rare for a shi tzu as they are from Australia and not local.. 6 months old . With no intention of buying in the first place change to I wanna have her straight away..

And guess how much I bought her ? only $500 sing dollars which is consider cheap for a puppy.. Worth every penny.. for now she will sleep with me instead of kit as I can't have the 2 puppies sleeping together on my bed.. she is just beside me on the bed as I am writing my blog..

From a scale of 1 to 5 , how much do you rate her in terms of cuteness ?? do drop a comment on her ok ... had to go now as she is tired. by the way her name is krystal ...

Best CheeseCake In Singapore !!!

2009-12-23T11:03:00.003+08:00

BEST CHEESECAKE I EVER ATE !!!

Do you like cheesecake ?? For me, my craving for cheesecake started when I was in my poly days where we used to always hang out at holland V coffee bean for a cuppa of frappucino and a slice of cheesecake.. Ever since after I started my journey of finding the best cheesecake in singapore , until my weight ballooned to such an extent that I know I had to stop .... looking back that was like 13 years ago...

Where is the best cheesecake in singapore ?? Pine Garden suitated at Blk 529 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 #01-2369. This cheesecake is simply fabulous which instantly took over my No 1 spot which used to occupied by Hilton. For such a long time I can't find a better cheesecake than Hilton until I lay my hands on Pine Garden's Cake. This cheesecake is not too sweet yet refreshing , I can eat this all day and not sense that cheese and cream lining my walls inside. It was soft, smooth, light, soooo pretty.... Just one word to describe it "Fabulous" Mama Mia !!!

Cost $49.90 for this cake , ya quite ex as you might say but hey you get what you paid .. It is worth every penny.. once again my philosophy of good food does not neccesary be served in a posh place is correct. They also sell Log Cakes for X'mas. So if you do not crave for log cakes then get this cheesecake for this festival season... Die die must try !! "A man's poison is another man's meat " Below are my top 5 ranking for the best cheesecake in singapore .

1.) Pine Garden's Cake.

2.) Hilton.

3.) Secret Recipe.

4.) The Atrium Deli @ Pan Pacific.

5.) The CheeseCake Cafe @ East Coast Rd ( Service sucks)

ps * do drop a comment if you think there is a place that sell yummy cheesecake and it is not listed in the above top 5. Thanks !!

Stop Destroying Movies !! Anti Piracy !!

2009-12-17T01:31:00.005+08:00

Down with Piracy !!!

Pass by this pirated shop in some part of sin which I won't name where (I still wanna live longer ) and was utterly shock that such a shop still exist in sin as I tought the authorities already sweep all these shop away.. So I decided to take a risk and ask my friend to took a photo with my N97 Mini when the shopkepper is not looking.. sounds like "Wu Jian Dao" I admit it is very dangerous to commit such an act as it will put our lives at risk with those tatoo thugs looking after the shop.. I don't see myself a hero just hope to do my part for the movie industry as I used to work in the movie industry .

$8 per DVD on all this movies... guranteed clear as what they say. Buy 3 free 1. We walk out of the shop as fast as our legs could take us to avoid being discovered. There is this commercial ad in cinema where this boy will ask his father what is a movie ticket and what is a cinema ?? Father explained that all these is a thing of the past and no longer exist .. We might laugh at this ad but it could come true if we keep suppporting piracy. :-( I agree that there are some movies that is not worth the price to go and watch since cinema tickets is constantly rising, but we can just wait for the ORINGINAL DVD to release or simply miss it..

Already the record industry is beset with piracy and it has caused some of the CD shop ex: Sembawang Music Center to closed down outlet after oulet.. They used to have 21 outlet islandwide at their peak and now they only left with 3 outlet.. I am not a saint but the least we can do is to reduce piracy by going to the cinema to watch the movie rather than supporting piracy..

So let's play out part today by not supporting piracy.. Movie "ROSE" is coming up so let's do our part by going down to our nearest cinemas to watch the movie .. this is how we can give our support to the actors or actress.. Duration of a movie is usually 120mins but the making of the movie is much much more than that.. The efforts they put in the making of the movie deserve our respect and support !!!

Guess Who ???

2009-12-15T01:11:00.005+08:00

Who am I ???

This photo was taken few years back when I was then working at Changi Airport Terminal 1. I happened to walk past the arrival gate when there was a small group of fans frenzy going on.. all eagerly waiting for hours for their idol and hopefully to get a glimpse or upclose to her.. Not wanting to miss the action as I quite happened to like this artist back then... I managed to capture a upclose shot of her coming out of the gate...

Can you all guess who she is ??? Hint ??? all right... Storm Warriors aka Feng Yun 2 is the clue ... that is all I can reveal.. Any prize for correct answers ?? all right.. my personal autograph on top of this artist photo .... lol..

Who knows I might be the next Tycoon Li Kai Shing.. and this autograph shown on top is going to worth a lot.. lol :-)

It's a 6 course lunch set.. 1st is the Buddha Jump Over The Wall.. 2nd is the Trio Combo which is sort like cold dish. 3rd is the King Prawn with Chardonay Sauce.. this is nice.. Big Prawn that u need to use fork & knife to eat. 4th is the beancurd with golden mushroom follow by EE Fu noodle..

Then on the last of the course is this dessert which is shown above in the pics .. this is the Yam Paste in almond w Ginko Nut.. This is really tasty..

All personal serving... This is really lunch that is fit for a king.. and at such a price you really had to go try it.. service wise is good also.. We walk out of the restaurant very satisfying..

'She was my entire life'

2009-12-05T21:39:00.002+08:00

MR MICHAEL Puhaindran knew that lawyer Lo Hwei Yen was the woman he wanted to marry from the moment he met her. It was a brief encounter, along bustling Change Alley at Raffles Place, in 2006 when Ms Lo was a pupil with law firm Drew and Napier.
The 37-year-old recalled that he asked his friend: 'Who's the babe?' So began their eight-month courtship, which led to their Bali wedding last year.

A celebration of Hwei Yen's life

More than 100 family members and close friends of lawyer Lo Hwei Yen gathered at her wake last night to celebrate her life.

... more
It is obvious Mr Puhaindran is still reeling from the loss of the woman he said he 'waited all his life to find'. Minutes before he was to speak with reporters, he appeared distracted and lost in thought.

The only time he broke into a smile was when a friend pointed to a picture of Ms Lo and said something to him.

'She had a smile that captured you. When you saw her smile, you knew that this was a person who smiled with her whole being,' Mr Puhaindran said, when asked what had struck him most about his 28-year-old wife.

A second, chance encounter at coffee shop Spinelli presented Mr Puhaindran with an opportunity to ask Ms Lo out for lunch. Their first date was at San Marco's at the Fullerton Hotel.

Certain that Ms Lo was the one for him, Mr Puhaindran popped the question on the first day of their holiday in the Maldives. She accepted immediately. 'I had not planned to do it so soon, but I guess I just could not wait,' he said.

They also had the same taste in music. 'Even though she's nine years younger than me, she liked retro music. We had a really good time,' said Mr Puhaindran, referring to the Kylie Minogue concert they attended the day before she left for Mumbai.

Like all newly weds, they had the occasional tiff, but Mr Puhaindran described the last few weeks he had with her as the 'best time of my life'. 'She was my entire life, and everything I did, I did for her.'

He loved his wife so much that he would not even let her get wet in the rain.

'I would do all I could to make her life as smooth as possible and she would do the same for me. Being unable to protect her...' Mr Puhaindran broke off mid-sentence, clearly struggling with his pain.

The support of family and friends has helped him cope with his grief. 'Before coming back to Singapore, I didn't know how I was going to carry on.'

Regarding the future, Mr Puhaindran said that he is now 'taking things one day at a time'. He has kept himself busy with the wake arrangements, making sure that everything is perfect, down to every last detail.

It is clear that Mr Puhaindran's wife is still the centre of his life. When asked what she would have wanted for him, he faltered for a moment as he struggled to contain his emotions.

His voice cracked as he said: 'She would want me to live my life

after finished reading this article, my tears drop ....... at times i wonder why god must play a trick on this couple who is so ever loving to each other . never easy to to cope for the loss of a loved one especially that someone is someone who will walk with you for the rest of your life. ....

It teaches us to treasure the people whom so ever shower their love on us.. treasure the moments.. never take things for granted.. here I wish Mr Micheal Puhaindran all the best...

ThanksGiving Day !!!

2009-11-27T01:36:00.003+08:00

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday. [1]

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. The traditional "first Thanksgiving" is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621. The Plymouth celebration occurred early in the history of what would become one of the original thirteen colonies that became the United States. The celebration became an important part of the American myth by the 1800s.[citation needed] This Thanksgiving, modeled after celebrations that were commonplace in contemporary Europe, is generally regarded as America's first. Elementary school teacher Robyn Gioia has argued that the earliest attested "thanksgiving" celebration in what is now the United States was celebrated by the Spanish on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida.[2][3] Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends .

ANYBODY TO THANKS ?

As you were reading the article above , today is thanksgiving day. We might not celebrate thanksgiving day in this part of the world but we still can do our own little celebration. Regardless of religion or race, we all can celebrate this day. In this modern 20th century , we all are so busy with our lives that sometimes we tend to forget to thanks that special someone or our family member who all this while stand by us no matter good or bad days.

For me once I will like to give my profuse thanks none other than my mum . She stood by me no matter come rainy days or sunny days. She always wanted me to be a good person. I just wanted to tell her do not worry about me although I am not by her side. I might not get to have a decent dinner with her today but from the bottom of my heart I wanna say THANKS to her .. Thanks mum for everything.. Come a day you will be proud of me...

How about you all ?? On this special day itself. who do you wanna thanks most? maybe you can have a quiet dinner with that special someone or just have a dinner with your family ? No matter how busy we might be with our lives , we still need to appreciate the things they did for us...

Childhood Memories.

2009-11-26T00:57:00.003+08:00

TOM & JERRY

Does Tom & Jerry ring a bell to you ?? I guess it does to every human being on earth who had a television set at home ... Today one of my relatives came over for a visit and being a good host I search for T&J on internet and broadcast it to my 52inch TV for my 5 years old niece to watch.. I joined her for a while and when I was watching T&J, suddenly memories of my childhood flooded my brain.

I remembered back then when I was just 5 years of age, my mum told me that I will sit down in front of the TV at evening time waiting for T&J to start. Somehow my mum used T&J as a bait for me to finish my rice or the veg I hated so much.. T&J was basically my first watched cartoon and back then we don't have cartoon network on Cable TV or internet unlike now. How I remembered that I will do everything my mum ask of me in order to get to watch my favourite cartoon.

The cartoon is so simple , every eposide is the same Tom trying to catch Jerry and Jerry trying to outwit Tom to escape his clutches. . but yet I like the cartoon so much.. I still remember my mum favourite pharse " if you don't finish your rice , the mata (police) will catch you " In my kindergarten (pre school) days I remembered that I always wink at one of the girl sitting at a corner and she will wink back at me.. We talked about being together forever but lost contact halfway when her family migrated.

I used to go to this mama stall and buy my favourite "sheng Bao" (ice cube) .. it comes in bandung , milo or orange flavour. It only cost 10 cents back then.. Now it is almost impossible to get one.. I guess If I will to continue my childhood memories it will never end.. These are the some of the stuff that I will always remember and probably tell my grandchild.

How about you ?? what is your most memorable childhood memories? or what come to your mind when you see this Tom & Jerry cartoon ?? ......... How I just wish to go back to my childhood days where without worries and so carefree.. Argh ............. :(

Deeply Touched !!!

<Giving up good life for dogs' lives

November 24, 2009

A 70-year-old man has taken to selling Singapore Sweep tickets and religious amulets on the streets so that he could help care for stray dogs.

Mr Lee Kwang Min spends at least $3,000 a month on his dogs, half of it to rent shophouses for them. The rest is spent on dog food, vet fees and travelling costs to feed the strays he finds on the streets.

The bachelor has already spent his life savings, including his CPF savings, to help the dogs.>>

After reading this article , I for once simply can't believe that such a person do exist on mother earth, the saying goes like this " good man die early " I was put to shame after reading what he did for all the stray dogs.. To think that I actually treat my dogs good enough. This remind us that CPF savings can be use for good deeds rather than lavish on china woman... at least Mr Lee know that even though he finished his CPF savings ,the dogs will still stick to him with loyalty unlike those china woman who will left those old man once they suck dry their CPF savings.. No offence to china woman as what I refer is only the minority.

Mr Lee had been fined by Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) . The AVA had taken 4 of his dogs away and in order to claim them back he had to pay more than SGD$2320 in fines ($200 for each unlicensed dog), handling and boarding charges, and licensing and microchipping fees. He actually went door to door asking for donations just because of some stray dogs !!

I was deeply touched by what he did and although I can't donate any money due to my overspending earlier in the month. I hope those out there who happen to read my blog and if you are able to donate no matter any amount , do contact The New Paper Hotline at 1800 7334455. Rest assure that this donation will go to his payment of fines rather than misuse.. I am rather sad that I am not able to help Mr Lee.. but what I can do is promise Mr Lee that I will treat my 4 dogs with Tender Loving Care in future... 101% TLC..

May God bless Mr Lee soul ...............

What will happen if I have a million !!

2009-11-24T02:52:00.000+08:00

Today is the day where all wanna be rich singaporeans will queue up at any betting stations to lay their hands on this TOTO Lottery Draw.. and the prize money had been snowball to SGD$5.5million. Like all singaporeans , I too queue up at one of the betting stations to place my bet .. as I queue , i visualize that what will happen if i manage to strike and won the SGD$5.5million.. In all my life I never been lucky and the most I won in lottery is only $1000.

I will stash away 3million in a fixed deposit in a bank which pays good interest.. left 2.5million.. I will buy myself a high end district penthouse and a lamborgini which I will end up with 500k and I will donate 200k to a really in need charity although i have doubts.. I will use my last 300k to travel around the world in 365 days and blog it down on every place that I been which has always been a dream for me..

You all might wonder whether i did strike in the end.. and boy did I STRIKE !!! I won 20 bucks after placing 10 bucks bet.. which means minus the 10 bucks I still made a small sum of SGD$10 not 5.5million which I wish.. So the first thing in the morning tmr I will use the 10bucks to buy a good meal for kit & max.. ''

So guys , what will you all do if you strike 5.5million ???

Betray of Trust again !!!!

2009-11-24T02:09:00.000+08:00

The ex—CEO of Ren Ci Hospital, Ming Yi has been sentenced to ten months jail. A district court has also sentenced his former aide, 34—year—old Raymond Yeung to nine months’ imprisonment.

47—year—old Ming Yi, whose real name is Goh Kah Heng and Raymond Yeung were convicted last month of falsifying Ren Ci payment vouchers.

The pair was involved in an unauthorised loan of S$50,000 made in 2004 to the Mandala Buddhist Cultural Centre, a religious artefact shop managed by Yeung.

They were also convicted of giving false information to the Commissioner of Charities.

District Judge Toh Yung Cheong said Ming Yi had abused his authority and betrayed the trust given to him.

He said the money could have been used to help the poor and needy patients.

In mitigation, Ming Yi’s lawyer Senior Counsel Andre Yeap argued against a jail sentence.

He said the "tsunami—sized" shame Ming Yi endured because of the trial is punishment enough.

He said Ming Yi had helped a lot of people even risking his life when performing physical stunts to raise money for Ren Ci.

Moreover, he also did not personally profit from the loan to Yeung.

But the prosecution, DPP Jaswant Singh, said a tough stand is needed when charitable funds are misused.

Moreover, Yeung put the money to "frivolous" use to renovate a friend’s flat in Hong Kong.

Both Ming Yi and Yeung have filed an appeal.

Andre Yeap, Ming Yi’s lawyer, said: "We actually have ten days to file a notice of appeal against sentencing. But for administrative reasons, we were told we have to file a notice of appeal today, so that’s been filed. I believe Raymond has filed a notice of appeal also for the same reason."

Both Ming Yi and Yeung had filed an appeal against their conviction last month.

Both men are now out on bail. Ming Yi’s was set at S$450,000 while Yeung’s is S$200,000

NKF aka National Kidney Foundation & Ren Chi Hospital.. Who's next ?? Are we still able to trust the charity here in singapore ?? Last saturday I walk past a student selling the flag of a charity which I won't say which charity was that.. She approached an auntie and I overheard that auntie asking her son not to donate any and to end it up , she says " who knows where the money will go to , maybe go to their own pocket"

I am not sure how the charity organisation in other country works but over here in sin, we have full trust in all charities until the NKF issue came up and follow by Ren Chi.. My sympathies go out to all those charities who are really in need of public funds in order to stay alfloat. Once bitten twice shy , They say singaporeans are very forgetful. After a while they will tend to forget the NKF issue but now Ren Chi scandal arise.. I doubt singaporeans are not that forgetful after these 2 cases.

In the past whenever I walk past a volunteer selling charities flag, i will never hestitate to dig out my loose change and donate in the tin.. but now I really had to think twice on whether the money I donate will really help the needy or make those idiots fatter ? I am not the only one who think like this after the 2 issue.. I believe it is not the first and it won't be the last ...

.Memories Book.

This is my first time creating a blog and why I decided to start now is because lately I realise I have short lapse of memory and I hope that if one day I wake up forgetting everything , I can take a look at all the blogs I created and re-capture my memories ...

I just read a piece of news on a korean model who was raise up in singapore and she commit suicide in an apartment in Paris... She is not the first and I believe she won't be the last... refreshing our memories .. there are so many actors or artist who commited suicide over the years .. to name a few, leslie chung aka kor kor.. Micheal Jackson -the greatest king ever...

why do they chose a horrendous way to escape their troubles ??? beside speculating , nobody knows why ... who knows , maybe one day I will chose this route also.. only by then will I know the answer. Given a choice to start their life again, will they chose back the same path or just become an ordinary person.. Only God Knows !!!
