Make a difference

If you wanna make a difference but facing resistance, below are some inspirational words by Kent M. Keith in 1968 as part of a booklet for young leaders. It was later adapted by Mother Teresa and posted in a more spiritual tone in her home for children in Calcutta.

- If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

- If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

- The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by
the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

- Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Rusty bolt in Instant noodle

I always thought that Nissin CQYD(出前一丁), which is under a Japanese instant noodle company, should be high in quality control. But it was so disappointed and disgusted to find a rusty bolt in one of their "Mi Goreng" pack.

After reading the packaging, i notice that these noodles were made in Indonesia. So who say only China has "Good" QC, Indonesia too. So the next time you pick one any food from the shelf, make sure it is not from Indonesia. Indonesia Boleh!

Maybe if you found a matching nuts from another pack, you can exchange for an IPhone. Hahahaaaa...

Mt Titlis

Mt Titlis is 3,238M high in Switzerland. You can take the world first revolving cable car up the top. The video was taken on the top of the mountain where you can have a nice view of the Swiss alps.

Up the Eiffel Tower

I was at the Eiffel Tower. Took the lift up to the 2nd level of the tower. The video was taken inside the lift from 1st level to the 2nd level. You can see the nice view of Paris on the way up.

薔密颱風- Typhoon in Taiwan

Found the video that i have taken on the typhoon (薔密颱風) from my last trip in Taipei on 29 Sep 2008. It is a good experience for someone living in natural disaster-free country.

Amei 阿密特 新加坡演唱会2010

We went to Amei (张惠妹) Singapore concert(阿密特 新加坡演唱会2010) on 29 Jan. Her new image under her aboriginal name Gulilai Amit (古歷來·阿蜜特), mainly focus on rock music. This 阿密特 concert trying to give the audience the rock effect, with many guitar solo. This is really a "high" concert with some of her old sentimental songs to balance up.
Amei ROCKS!!

Auntie Kim's Korean Food

Heard about this korean restaurant that sell good korean food in Upper Thomson. Finally got a change to try it.

They have some nice standard side dishes.

We ordered a Seafood Pancake. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nicely fried. Yummy...

The Korean BBQ chicken taste good. Not oily like those you get in Food court.

We ordered the Kimchi soup instead of Ginseng soup (coz taken Ginseng soup from Crystal Jade Korean on previous week). The soup was not bad but i think it can be better.

Wine in a packet

Saw this interesting wine in a plastic packet. It is selling in the neighbour supermarket. Maybe they are saving the cost of using bottles but don't looks like saving the earth as plastic are harder to bio-degrade.

But it is definitely lighter and easier to carry for party and outdoor consumption. It comes in 2 lites pack and a small tap for easy drinking. As for the prices, that will have to depends on the quality of the wine.

Kuala Lumpur LRT map (updated)

It was almost 2 years since i last visit KL (Kuala Lumpur). Just back from a relaxing weekend. I remember that the Mid Valley KTM station was not updated on my Transit map so i updated it myself.

New Year 2010 Inspiration

In the beginning of Year 2010, heard some inspirating words that motivated me to move into the new year.

Don't pray for challenges to be removed, but pray for the strength to overcome them. As challenges are meant to be overcome and make you stronger.

Don't Pray to God for Miracle, make one.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Hai Kee Char Kway Teow

My mum long wanted to eat the famous char kway teow at Queenstown. Had when there several times but was not opened. Decided to give it a try on New year eve.



The store was long queue as usual. While queueing up, i overheard the guy infront telling his friend to ask the uncle to add fried lard (猪油渣). I also added the fried lard for a try. It was big and crispy. Taste nicer than the other fried lard i had tried (but very unhealthy of course).



It took me 45 minutes to get my 2 hot Char Kway Teow for my mum and myself. Even though it was a long queue, seeing my mum satisfying look, it is definitely worth it.

So if you happen to order a plate of char kway teow in Queenstown, remember to ask for fried lard.
