"Summer Time!" by Wilbur

mickey madness

super loud alarm clock tt has a choice of bell ringing or kiddy songs =)

since disneyland, i have been mickey crazy =P

a simple fact :)

"It is a simple fact: whatever you resist will persist.

If you are resisting suffering, you suffer more.

If you are resisting confusion, you remain confused.

If you are looking for peace, you find yourself constantly disturbed.

If you are seeking after clarity, you are in a muddle.

If you do not want to be angry, you are going to walk around angry.

If you do not mind being angry, you will never be bothered about anger, because you will not be holding on to it.

Having no opinion for or against, just being open to whatever comes, you are free."

Buddha's Teachings

After visiting Lantau Island, it got me interested in Buddha's values and teachings as I very much share the same sentiments.
What's fascinating is that it still applies in this time and age :)

It's not easy applying these values as I'm extremely flawed =p

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

Wilburism

Truth is seen with our very own eyes and heart and not by hearsay from others for the greatest crime is assuming one is guilty when he is, in fact, innocent.

poop dog

thanks to the eatalottashittalotta doggie :p
the dogs and dragon seems to have it easy when it comes to poopin
i'm always constipated >=/

cock-a-doodle-doo

it's a chicken day today lol
kenny rogers' pita with bbq chix for lunch
dragon was very sure he wanted to try the baked fish meal but chickened out the very last minute i.e. when the order was taken kekeke =p he feared the dish may not be nice than LL
so he stuck with his usual order of the quarter chix meal hee

servings of chix for the pita was extremely generous
lucky thing mummy joined us for lunch else i wouldnt 've been able to finish my meal
mummy passed me the curry chix which dad cooked 2 days ago hence dragon n me had curry chix in the evening while watching flyboys
mummy also bought for me deep fried nian gao sandwiched between sweet potato and yam. it's nice 'cept a bit too oily =p i love fried nian gao by the way :)

1st time i watched flyboys. liked it but as usual such war movie always move me to tears. before we tuned in to flyboys, there was some documentary on discovery channel abt wild wolves having to fend for themselves... um, i cried as well so dragon switched channel =p


have been a bad pig again cos i nudged dragon hard when he interrupted me whilst i was playing spot the difference =( he wasnt too happy of course and i felt realli guilty but all's well now :)

hmmm... having durians stashed in the fridge is realli a test of self-control =p

skype!

love technology!

was chatting with sf via skype lol

too bad my webcam is not working, else it would have been better for her :)

bubba gump

i din know tt this restaurant exist till i was at the peak with ny in hk!
pretty cool to have an actual restaurant spin-off from the movie =)
the tees and other memorabilia were quite nice. bought a couple of small items ;p

It's SG's Birthday!

a celebration of all things red & white =)

spooked!

aye, knew of this tour from shuying only yesterday as she signed up for it
http://www.gv.com.sg/moviedetails/gv_moviedetails_2711.jsp

not widely publicised as i din hear anything abt it but i guess timing not rite also cos yest was $ing dollar else i think mw would be interested as well

hmmm... shuying is experiencing something paranormal after the tour... this is what she updated in her FB
shuying is even more tickled to discover that the camera flash is still acting up, even after all of the internal charge emission's utilised (batteries have been removed for several hours already).......

wah! scary siah!
if i get to attend one next time i better make sure i'm not 'weak' =p

the ideal vatican city!

the environment is bound by age-old tradition and order
there's an air of seriousness but yet there's subtle fun in the people including mgt
what seems not possible is possible

i know i havent gotten down to the crunch yet but at this point in time what i have experienced goes way beyond my expectations :)

the lyrics expresses the feeling thus far :)


Lyrics Alladin - A Whole New World lyrics

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

ratatouille!

just caught the re-run of ratatouille on disney channel...
love the ending! ego's touching review just bring tears to my eyes *sniff*



"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talents, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new; an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking, is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook". But I realize - only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more."

zzzzzzzzzzz

the doggies have been napping all afternoon till now =)
cause they had after their vaccination at the animal clinic earlier this noon kekekeke

we also experience the effects of the vaccination cause both dragon and me were drowsy after having our take-away mcdonald's lunch of wasabi fillet and shaker fries lol
we went to the drive-thru at east coast to order... the 1st time for dragon, the pig and the 2 doggies :)
the last time i went thru the drive-thru was like more than 25 years ago when dad used to drive us to east coast pretty often bringing our cocker spaniel, cosmic, along for a swim at the beach :)
