Happy Birthday 小凤!!!

Sunday morning went for the Amway's Nitrilite Walk at Singapore Expo till afternoon, met up with a friend and reached Auntie Irene's place in the evening...

Surprised to see only Auntie Irene and Margaret around. Nicole and 小凤 went back early. They were busy baking the German Bread... Stollen. Kekekeke. At least now I got a chance to know how it taste like... :D

凡事不要只看表面 - a very touching story

有一對情侶,男的非常懦弱,做什麼事情之前都讓女友先試。女友對此十分不滿。

次,兩人出海,返航時,颶風將小艇摧毀,幸虧女友抓住了一塊木板才保住了兩人的性命。女友問男友:你怕嗎?男友從懷中掏出一把水果刀,說:怕,但有鯊魚來,我就用這個對付它。 女友只是搖頭苦笑。

不久,一艘貨輪發現了他們,正當他們欣喜若狂時,一群鯊魚出現了! 女友大叫:'我們一起用力游,會沒事的!男友卻突然用力將女友推進海裡,*扒著木板朝貨輪了,並喊道:這次我先試! 女友驚呆了,望著男友的背影,感到非常絕望。鯊魚正在靠近,可對女友不感興趣而徑直向男友游去! 男友被鯊魚兇猛地撕咬著,他發瘋似地衝著女友喊道:我愛你!女友獲救了,甲板上的人都在默哀…………

船長坐到女友身邊說:小姐,他是我見過最勇敢的人。我們為他祈禱! 不,他是個膽小鬼。女友冷冷地說。您怎麼這樣說呢?剛才我一直用望遠鏡觀察你們,我清楚地看到他把你推開後用刀子割破了自己的手腕。鯊魚對血腥味很敏感,如果他不這樣做來爭取時間,恐怕你永遠不會出現在這艘船上.....

凡事不要只看表面 因為有許多事情不是和我們所想像的一樣 不要因為看表面而誤解了對方在放棄對方之前請先冷靜點,把事情搞清楚再做打算 否則可能會因為你的一時之氣而讓對方從此不再出現.

PC is to 日本榴槤麻滋, Laptop is to Chicken Chop - 25/04/2009 & 26/04/2009

Saturday morning went to a friend's office to relocate the modem and router and also to dismantle a set of PC and bring to her house. Then set up, install printer and another router, so that they can do wireless surfing. By the time I reached Auntie Irene's house, it was already late afternoon. 2 "M"s (Michelle and Margaret) were already there. Too bad Nicole was not able to turn up as she had to man the company's booth at the Security Job Fair. Without further delay, I started to reformat Michelle's Laptop. But the set up was not successful and needed to redo on Sunday. Meanwhile, Auntie Irene, Margaret and Michelle hands on to work on the 日本榴槤麻滋. :D

Sunday, after tution, went to Auntie Irene house to continue to re-setup Michelle's Laptop... Finally done. :D

Meanwhile, Auntie Irene and Margaret made 2 units of the 日本榴槤麻滋 as the previous day's was too overwhelming and also can pass some to Violet as she will be collecting Addy's Birthday Cake today.

After that both were busy preparing and decorating the 浓郁巧克力蛋糕. Auntie Irene prepared one for Addy's Birthday on 02/05/2009; ** HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ADDY ** and Margaret prepared one using the materials that were leftover and the outcome... See photos below yourself... :D

Then, we prepared this Chicken Chop with Special Sauce for the Love 972FM's 厨房笔记. So stay tuned...

Sorry Auntie Irene, I was not of any help in the last 2 days as I was busy with the Laptop!!! ;P

Thanks Margaret for sharing her 浓郁巧克力蛋糕 with Michelle and me!!!

By the way, wish me good luck for the MINOR SURGERY tomorrow!!! :D

Eventful Saturday1

Today, I supposed to have tution at 10.30am, but I woke up late and reached there at 10.45am. Finished at about 12.30pm, I went ahead to the bicycle shop to repair the brakes. It cost me $15. Then I head to Pasir Ris East CC for the Mobile Blood Donation Drive. I donated blood and also pledged to be a Bone Marrow Donor.



Luckily, not many people

What your bitrth date reveal about you (Part 2)

After determining your Birth Number, read the interpretations accordingly:



#1 - THE ORIGINATOR

1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own ways is another trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant.

1's are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them.

Lesson to learn : Others' ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded.

Famous 1's : Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett, Wynona Judd, Nancy Reagan, Raquel Welch.



#2 - THE PEACEMAKER

2's are born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive, they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship is very important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the other hand, they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship.

Being naturally shy, they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.

Famous 2's : Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopie Goldberg, Thomas Eddison, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.



#3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

3's are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it.

They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.

Famous 3's : Alan Alda, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith, Salvador Dali, Jody Foster.



#4 - THE CONSERVATIVE

4's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they are expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard.

They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.

Famous 4's : Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, Oprah Winfrey.



#5 - THE NONCONFORMIST

5's are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking and enthusiasm often lands them in hot water. They need diversity and don't like to be stuck in a rut.

The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.

Famous 5's : Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent Van Gogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller, Mark Hamil.



#6 - THE ROMANTIC

6's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. A strong family connection is important to them. Their emotions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help.

They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously.

6's should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.

Famous 6's : Albert Einstein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Meryl Streep, Christopher Columbus, Goldie Hawn.



#7 - THE INTELLECTUAL

7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start and their motto is slow and steady win the race.

They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets.

They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not in the world at large.

Famous 7's : William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan Baez, Princess Diana.



#8 - THE BIG SHOT

8's are problem solvers. They are professional, blunt and to the point, have good judgement and are decisive. They have grandiose plans and like to live the good life.

They take charge of people. They view people objectively. They let you know in no uncertain terms that they are the boss.

They should learn to base their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.

Famous 8's : Edgar Cayce, Barbara Streisand, George Harrison, Jane Fonda, Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, Nostrodamus.



#9 - THE PERFORMER

9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them.

They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in.

They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.

Famous 9's : Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Gloria Steinem, Jimmy Carter, Elvis Presley.

What your bitrth date reveal about you (Part 1)

The birth date describes who we are, what we are good at and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing.

The Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want, but it will just colour your choice differently.

To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in the birth date together, until one digit is left.

Example : April 1st, 2008

4 + 1 + 2008 = 2013
2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6


So, 6 will be the Birth Number.

In case it ends with 10, just add 1 and 0 and the Birth number is 1. As for 20, the Birth number is 2.

Interpretation will continue on the next post.....
