we were very lucky to be able to have a tour at the suites too! the most ex one is good for couples, very purple and the selling point is the outdoor jacuzzi and even though there seemed to be some tall buildings everywhere, qy said it has been tested to be out of sight! amazing. I prefer the other suite with a nice living room, nice balcony, and nice bedroom.

What a beautiful poem!
Desiderata - Max Ehrman
Desiderata
Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals,and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrman

never give up in the worst of situations
I was reading this good article from TODAY and I find it very motivating:
There is a owner and his donkey. While walking past a well, the donkey fell into the well. As it was difficult to save the donkey, the owner decided not to, as he also intended to have the well covered. So together with his friends, the owner threw sand into the well. The donkey shrieked and shrieked but suddenly, there was silence. The owner and friends wondered why.
It turned out that with each plough of sand into the well, the donkey let the sand fall, so he can use it to climb up inch by inch. Slowly and steathily, he climbed upwards and out of the well....
Motivating story huh, sorry if my english sucks, cos I typed what I remembered, may not be grammetically correct, but you get the idea right?haha

1. pancake (man jian kueh) with either salmon or home made peanut butter
~To make the manjiankueh, use flour and most impt, rising powder (fa fen) . Then here's the tip, must put the mixture into the fridge for a while to 'rest', then gg to put on the saucepan.
~To make the home made peanut butter, get roasted peanut, add salt, add sugar. then some water and let it blend
~ to prepare the salmon with yoghurt, mix yoghurt with a bit of lime juice.then just 'kiap' the minjiankueh with the salmon and yoghurt
2. haibihiam with bakkua on wanton skin
~ To make the haibihiam, immerse the haibi (dried shrimps) in BRANDY!

I was tasked to get the MatTar crabz fm old airport road. Yummy, i love crabs! but its a little too spicy and mum grumbled, they din give us those with 'GAO ' (eggs)....
Veron was a great cook, fm nice tasty chicken wings to BREAD! (she made fantastic bread!!!) Nicholes is really lucky to get such a pretty,young wife that coOks!
Was great seeing all the kids having so much fun! though it was a tad noisy, but hey, wat's kids w/o noise?

Aldo sale
Heard that the sale has been on for some time, but i had never been to town for quite some time, so once i saw got sale, i knew i gotta grab cos i always wanna a pair of aldo shoes! so gotten myself 1 pair of simple black (3.5inch!!!) black heels (i am pretty sure i will topple and fall one day when i am wearing them...but hey, they are nice, so its worth falling over them!!!)
