Most Inspiring Video of the Day! :)

Hey Everyone! :)

Before I end my day, here are some inspiring video which I would like to share to you all, especially to students who are taking your exams, and working adults who are struggling with your work..

Elvis Harlem - his mother died at the age of 16 due to murder case,

and he chose to not give up himself and not wasting his time to live up his dreams...

Using $84,600 or 84,600 seconds a day without wasting it..

Every Mums in this world are treasure to us...

They love us unconditionally and sometimes, we just took them for granted...

Sometimes we thought that they are impatience but in fact they are not...

Sometimes we thought that they are nagging woman but this is how they show their care & concern...

Sometimes we didn't even know that they have been there 24/7 and in fact they did, just for us...

I've watched these 2 videos and the inspired me much..

1st Inspiring video:

World's toughest job - Director of Operations..

When I've watched this video, I do not have any clue what they are conveying

till the end of the video when they revealed!

*Two Thumbs Up!*

2nd Inspiring video:

This guy's mother had died due to cancer,

He realized that she had thought him much,

Being caring, loving to one another and respect for others and themselves...

However, is too late as that is the only time he said

"I Love You Mum!"

before she had gone....

Cherish your loved ones before they are gone forever!

Cheers! :)

#ThrowBackTravel Day Trip to Johor Bahru (JB) - 12 April 2014

Hey Everyone!

One week ago, I went for a very SHORT getaway trip to JB!

And yes.. I've never been to JB before, I only passed-by during my trip to Melaka & Genting but not stay and shop around.. Heard from my friends (Patricia and Ivy) that all prices are half-priced down from Singapore price. the moment I've heard is Shopping time!!! HAHAHAHA...

Well.. the journey to JB was pretty SHORT! I was a bit stunned when Patricia told me that we had arrived in Malaysia, JB... usually when I traveled overseas, it usually took like hours to get to the destination but to JB, is only less than an hour.. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! It took awhile to get used to "I'm in Malaysia" HAHAHA.. the main concern which I'm facing at that time is SAFETY.. because I heard from my friends and families that actually there is still daylight robbery along the street of JB.. I watched out my bag very closely and definitely did not take a lot of pictures of the buildings and some delicious food..

When we arrived in JB City Square Mall.. the first thing came to my mind is FOOOOOOD!!! The reason being we did not have Breakfast before we left home and dear Patricia told us that there is great food in Malaysia!! I cant wait to try ALL of them!! As greedy as I can be.. HAHAHA.. Patricia brought us to this famous FISH HEAD CURRY NOODLES store, before we arrived the venue I saw many Malaysian-Indians standing along the street looking pretty scary.. Patricia told us to walk along the shops instead of the streets because they look very suspicious.. OMG!! my mind was like "Please don't robbed me.. I'm not as rich as you think" and I walked super fast, just beside Patricia.. As we reached the venue, she mentioned there is a lot of Singaporean eating here and I can see queues outside the store.. It is sure famous!!! I love to try!!! However because is not that safe waiting so long outside and some of us were famished, we decided to go back shopping mall and had our BRUNCH!! I will be coming back here to have the FISH HEAD CURRY NOODLES *yumms yumms*.. You've heard me!! :)

So we were back here in City Square Mall and looked out for some cafe or restaurant to settle our BRUNCH.. Patricia introduced this cafe, Specialty Macau, she said that the food tasted good and is cheap too.. *-*

We've ordered Chicken Chop Spaghetti and Rice, also 4 egg tarts to try.. Food review: Chicken Chop Spaghetti tasted really good especially with the mushroom sauce.. HAHAHA me and Patricia were thinking probably was INSTANT mushroom sauce that's why it tasted delicious and you really can't stop eating.. As for the rice, was just normal HAHAHA not much to comment, Ivy and Rhena said that we could actually ordered this food at any food court in Singapore.. however definitely the prices was way much cheaper than in Singapore la.. Good point!!! As for the egg tarts, it was the BEST-OF-THE-BEST so far.. they actually tasted much better than KFC egg tarts!!! *Thumbs Up* Rhena actually bought back 10 pcs of them and it cost only $10 MYR which is $5 SGD?? Damn AFFORDABLE!!!

After lunch, we went to shopping in City Square Mall.. I was looking for a brand named SUMMIT which sell items similar to Charles n Keith in Singapore, the heels are very comfy-to-wear and the designs are cute.. So we entered to this shop the minute we saw, I actually shopped and tried all the shoes, was really comfortable and I was tempted to purchase.. why did I not purchase in the end?? The price of a pair of heels was actually $139.90 MYR about $69.95 SGD.. WOW!! About the same price which I can afford for a Charles n Keith, Pretty Fit or Pedro heels.. *Phew!* So in the end, I did not purchase and decided to purchase in Singapore instead..

Then few hours later, Ivy wanted to try Bak Kuh Teh! Amazingly, her small tummy can really fit pretty much food! So we went outside, along the street to have our Bak Kuh Teh.. when we reached, I felt like I'm at Bedok Sempang.. the ambience does have the resemblance.. Food review: I seriously love the soup and we can add in more ingredients like 金针菇 (also known as Enoki Mushrooms) one of my favourite and of course never forget about 油條 (also known as Fried Fritters) to dip into the soup!! I love how the soup is not so pepperish-taste and full of healthy herbs to boost your body health and immune system (maybe) but overall it tasted delicious!!

And we went to other shopping mall namely KSL & Holiday Plaza.. of course to pamper myself, I went for eyebrow trimming and I seriously need it desperately.. have not been trimming for months already.. HAHAHA better do it since I'm in Malaysia.. it cost me $10 MYR which is $5 SGD only!!! HAHAHA.. satisfied though because my friends all said it look natural.. Okay better than some comments like "why you looked like Shin-Chan" or worst "Where are your eye brows?" WOW!!! HAHAHA..

Right after eye brow trimming, it was about 5-6pm and sadly I'm rushing for time because I had a house-warming from my dear cousin.. So before we left, Ivy introduced this lil' cutie swiss roll with matcha & azuki red bean flavour.. before purchasing, we got to try sample of it and the moment I've tasted it, I fell in love.. HAHAHA.. okay not that exaggerating but is seriously nice.. I could not find it in Singapore except for Pandan and shredded Cheese swiss roll which is superb!! *Thumbs Up* The swiss roll cost $12.90 MYR which is about $6.45 SGD.. relatively cheap and good!!

Birthday Celebration on 10 April & 11 April :))

Hey Everyone!

Finally got the time to blog.. Sorry my dear readers as I am preparing for my exams which is next month ~ *SIANness* However I will try my very best to blog whenever there is FREE time for me to do so :)) Thanks for reading as well.. Appreciate much!!! :))

Soooo what happen LAST WEEK?!?!
I would say it has been a while since I've enjoyed myself fully without thinking so much on work and study! I had my BFFs birthday celebrations on 10 April and 11 April.

10 April - is the celebration for my BFF - Georgina's , belated in actual fact because her birthday falls on 8th April.. Nevertheless I was super SUPER super happy to celebrate with her that day!!! :)) I've bought her a Calvin Klein watch which coincidentally is her favourite brand and is on her WISHLIST some more!!! BFF TTM!!! :) We also had the similar mindset too~ we decided to go have our dinner at Food For Thought (one of my selected list of cafe/ restaurant for our dinner)... so we went to Singapore National Museum Food For Thoughts Cafe where they served more varieties of delicious food as compared to cafe located in Victoria Street... And now you might be asking... How is the food??? What is the food reviews???

(cr: Food For Thoughts - Photo taken by ME)

I've ordered Basil Pesto Chicken Linguine - ages ago when I was a waitress, I've always wonder why some customer LOVES Basil Pesto spaghetti so much??? Till now, I still do not get it!!! :) HAHAHAHA... well the reason being that I do not like Basil taste... YUCKS!!! But of course give a benefit of a doubt, the linguine actually tasted not bad and I believe for those who likes Basil Pesto taste, they will sure like this dish!! :)

BFF ordered BIG Breakkie Breakfast for her All-Day Dinner... The taste of everything is speechless.. is a not so bad speechless because there is still some flaws in the dish itself actually... Like the mushrooms tasted a little bit raw and salty... the sausages, eggs, bread, tomatoes tasted NORMAL.. I ate ALL of the harsh-brown because BFF does not like it but the taste was actually much better than the rest of the ingredients O.O yeap!!!

Both of us ordered chocolate beverage, I've ordered HOT CHOCOLATE w Marshmallow, and BFF ordered Ice Dark Chocolate... BFF laughed when she drank her Iced chocolate because is too thick!!! Like drinking Milo Dinosaur, as for mine, is much better because it wasn't as thick as compared to the Iced chocolate, and also the Marshmallow really blends well with the beverage *thumbs up!!!* :)) BFF told me that for her beverage when the ice melted and mixed together with the beverage, it actually tasted much better.. Like what they said "Good thing must wait!"

11 April - 2nd day of birthday celebration with my poly BFF!!! :)) HAHAHA.. we never break this culture of celebrating each other's birthday ever since 2007, therefore it has been a GREAT & WONDERFUL 7 years of friendship and birthday celebration!!! :) I am very VERY very glad to have them in my life!!! :) We are celebrating Eve Mamee birthday!!! HAHAHA.. I realised that I have been calling her for the past 7 years!! ;)) WOW!!! HAHAHA.. but still wishing her to stay young, cheerful, positive and of course PRETTY forever!!! :) LOVE HER VERY VERY MUCH!!! <3

(cr: Photo taken by ME)

And yes!! Is time for food review!! :) We went to a restaurant called Chiso Zanmai Japanese Buffet Restaurant located at The Central @ Clarke Quay, #02-17... They have quite a number of food to choose but not as many as Kiseki Japanese Buffet Restaurant or Kushinbo Japanese Buffet Restaurant.. However the most unique thing is they offer HotPot which require additional charges of less than $5 per pax.. Total bill I've spent was $43.55.. Is of course cheaper than Kiseki and Kushinbo Japanese Buffet Restaurant.. No complain to the food because they served it well and it is delicious.. Oiishii desu!!! Mashishoyo!!! :))

After buffet dinner, we went to sit along the stairs outside The Central shopping mall.. It has been sometime since we sat and enjoy the night view of Singapore.. We chat a lot and of course K-variety shows!!! Recently, Chiew and I have been watching the Return of Superman!!! HAHAHA.. I believe you did watch before??? If not, you have not lived much!!! :)) HAHAHA.. but seriously here is one small introduction to the show; basically the show talked about when Mummy is not at home, Daddy will take care of their children for the whole day, these children are their real son or daughter.. There is this little girl who is 4 years old this year, her name is Choo Sarang, I'm sure you've had heard of this name somewhere in the social media platform because she is indeed CUTE & FAMOUS!!! :))

(cr: Choo Sarang's expression when she felt disgusted)

Also there are other kids in this show who are cute and adorable too.. I personally also like Lee Haru (Tablo's daughter) because she is NICE and GENTLE, and she has fish friends... Watch the show and you will know why la ;))

Enjoy the show!!! 

Catch every Sunday, 3.45pm to 5.20pm (Singapore Time) at Channel M

Movie Review: Captain America 2 The Winter Soldier

Hey Everyone!!!

I have watched my MOST FAVOURITE MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!! Captain America 2!!!! *SCREAMSSSS!!!* somemore in 3D!!! HAHAHA.. alright alright I know some of you will describe me as obsessive with Steve Rogers and not the movie is due to CHRIS EVANS!!! HAHAHA... but some of you do agree with me too right?!?!?!?!? HAHAHA... Nevertheless the movie is AWESOME!!! And I seriously like to thank ALL movie viewers who watched in Golden Village theatres because they have mentioned that we should stay in the theatre till the end of the movie for a light preview of the next upcoming movie scene...

HAHAHA.. sorry for the capitalization because I really find this movie is one of the best movie of the year!!! The story plot is AMAZING!!! some of the scenes flashed back to 1944 where Steve is living his life as a wonderful captain, a TRUE SOLDIER!!! The story goes like this;

"After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" finds Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, Chris Evan, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon, Anthony Mackie. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy - the Winter Soldier." (credited by Golden Village)

(Casts of Captain America 2 The Winter Soldier Movie)

Personally, the most surprise part of the movie is when he revealed the Winter Soldier. It was actually unexpected because the 1st part of the movie, Steve's best friend, Bucky Barnes had died during the fight when they were chasing a bad guy outside the train and he fell off from the train down the cliff... So how Winter Soldier came about is when Bucky was found by a German scientist after his fell, and then he was tested and experimented that leads him being strong and fast soldier (a true silent assassin) with forgotten past... Steve believed that Bucky still didn't forget him so without fail, at the last part which touched me the most due to strong friendship, Steve allowed Bucky to beat his face badly because he mentioned to Bucky that no friends live anyone behind and he will stay with him (Bucky) regardless (may not be the exact same words in the movie) and Steve said that because Bucky once told him the same exact sentence when Steve's parents died... Captain America fell into the sea when the ship crashed from the sky, I thought Steve will die because nobody is able to save him however to my another surprise, Steve was saved by the Winter Soldier, and he left Captain America on the beach resting while he walked away silently... Captain America did not give up and he mentioned in his next mission, he will find his best friend and bring his memories back... I would say another anticipating movie is coming soooooooon!!!

(Casts of Captain America 2, Best Buddy: Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes)

Last but not the least, at the very last part of the movie, there is a little preview of the next upcoming movie... All I can say is the preview is related to The Avengers 2 which is also coming soon!!! Much Anticipation!!! Cheers :)

Do not take things for granted...

Hey everyone!

Another inspiration story to share with you today
"Razan dreams of her favourite red dress".

In any countries, wherever you are from, some people just take things for granted and some people just do not know this word "Appreciation". We have safe home, great families, loved ones and friends, conducive environment to study, work and live. However, as I read on an article of this young girl named Razan, who is only 9 years old and a Syrian refugee. Such a young girl who had no choice but to flee her beloved hometown with her families because of dispute happening in Syrian. At such a young age, I remembered that I am being blessed with wonderful toys, hygiene food and conducive environment. But for Razan, she escaped from her beloved hometown so that she could not get hurt! This make me realized how fortunate I am to stay in a safe country like Singapore.

(cr: 9- year old Razan (right) and her younger sister left Syria for Turkey more than a year ago. Their house, in Idlib, was destroyed in a bomb attack. © UNICEF/Turkey-2014/Yurtsever)

Her story goes like this (edited by my own words)
Because of leaving their country due to conflicts in Syria, many children have to leave home and their precuious belongings like their favourite dress, book, toy, which are now just a memory to them. Razan, a sweet-loving 9 years old little girl, mentioned that she could not forget about her favourite red dress which had bombarded and burned with her house. As she described that dress, her eyes were shining like she was indeed in-love with that dress.

Razan’s house in Idlib, Syria was damaged in a bombing. She and her family survived because they were out paying a visit to her aunt. They were only able to recover a few belongings and toys from the ruins. “I lost my grandfather and uncle because of this conflict. My uncle was shot by four bullets,” she adds. Razan, her parents and 6 siblings arrived at the Sarıçam refugee camp 14 months ago. She is in the third-grade and wants to be a teacher when she grows up. Such an inspiration child whom I didn't see much in kids these days. Razan visits UNICEF’s Child Friendly Space (CFS) twice a week where her favourite activities are painting and playing with toys. She also likes the new appearance of the centre, which has been repainted, saying: “It is very colourful now and very nice. My friends also like it a lot”.

Share her story with your loved ones, family members and friends now! We are fortunate and let's help these children in Syria to provide them with conducive environment to study, work and live. Also providing them hygiene food so that they are not starved. You know how it feels to be starved for the whole day!!!

Helping one another doesn't kill...

Hey everyone!

Please LIKE the page and SHARE with your friends. HAHAHA... looking forward!!!

As I've mentioned & shared this wonderful video in my Facebook page below.
A Woman Befriended This Homeless Man In Brazil. You'll Never Guess What Happens Next...Wow.
Story: "Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho was homeless in São Paulo, Brazil, for nearly 35 years, and has become locally known to sit in the same spot and write every day. In April 2011, he befriended a young woman named Shalla Monteiro. Impressed with his poetry she decided to help him with his dream of publishing a book, she created a Facebook page to characterize the writing of Raymond. Neither could have expected what happened next. For more information visit Facebook page at Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho"

In summary, being able to help one person is a blessing because you are also helping another person too. Very inspiration!!! :) Start with your heart and work with your hand, take the first step to help people and you may not know how much helped they are receiving from you.
