Pre-Hong Kong Trip Excitment

I'm thrilled at the thought of travelling. It have been a good one year since I travelled for vacation, and yes! I cannot hide my excitement! It's less than 2 months, and i will be in the land of dim sum.


In many ways, Hong Kong is very similar to Singapore. The fast pace, packed city, people, etc. Not a huge fan of Hong Kong but oh wells, it's affordable, suitable for a short get away, convenient and accessible. Hello to Victoria Peak (again), Disney Land, Big Buddha, Dim Sum, Wanton Mee and Cha Chaan Teng!

Done some research and here's the list of places to be visited during the trip. 

MUST EAT DIM SUM
  • Tim Ho Wan
  • One Dim Sum
  • Dim Dim Sum Dim Sum
MUST EAT WANTON MEE 
  • Ho Hung Kee 
  • Mak Man Kee
  • Tsim Chai Kee
MUST EAT CHA CHAAN TING
  • Tsui Wah Cafe
  • Kim Wah Bakery/ Cafe
  • Australia Dairy Company
  • Capitol Cafe
  • Honolulu Cafe
  • Lan Fong Yuen
  • Mido Cafe
Finally there's something to look forward to. There's something to be excited for. There's sometime to take ourself out of the picture of reality. 

There's something mystical about travelling. It feels awesome to be in a foreign country, do anything you wish, don't mind being surrounded by judgemental looks. Not forgetting the cool weather!

2 Day; Bangkok

2 days in Bangkok, how much can you do in such a short time frame, especially so when meetings took up half of your time.


Nonetheless, still managed to shop till I dropped. Comparing to my last BKK trip, I tried much more street food this time round. 














 Fried Quail Eggs




Coconut ice cream - fried quail eggs - sweet creme crepe - mango sticky rice



Have been hearing so much positive feedbacks about After You cafe and finally, it's my turn to try it! The Shibuya Honey Toast was awesome, with just the right amount of sweetness of the vanilla ice cream and generous amount of butter in the toast; crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. HOW COULD YOU RESIST SUCH TEMPTATIONS! Best of all, it's not expensive, cost around 135 Baht! Cheap/ good/ big portion .. what's more could you ask for!?

Next up, if you are a big fan of roast duck then you gotta try Four Seasons! They have the best roast ducks in the world, even myself, who doesnt fancy ducks, love it too. The meat is so so so tender (doesnt taste like the usual tough duck meat) and accompanying it is the savoury black sauce which taste a tinge of sweetness. As far as i know, there's only 4 outlets in the world, namely London, Bangkok, Shanghai and Singapore. You've gotta try it, and you will definitely love it! 

With this, i shall conclude my journey in BKK.

Tough Times Dont Last, They Are The Vitamins for The Minds - They Make You Stronger

Appreciate what you have, even when times are difficult. It's the process, and I am very sure that I will be very thankful for the opportunity given to me at the end of everything. :)

Work hard for what you want, cause success dont come easy. And remember that I have a treasure, why should I fear?

Have faith, to repay my debt of gratitude, I have to show actual proof and if I employ the strategy of the lotus sutra before any other, I will sure breakthrough and win in the end. I must do my human revoluntion!

I will only grow stronger, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger! ;)

Anyone Has Similar Thought Before?

Recently has been feeling rather depressed and upset. Not too sure since when did I became so bothered about the positions/ hierarchy and money matters.. My first ever thoughts of wanting to climb up the corporate ladder so badly, wanting to earn more money, wanting to get acknowledgedthi.

Everyday I'm stressed about not being about to meet the standards set by my boss, I'm afraid that my work is not being seen or acknowledged. Then I was being assigned to take minutes and some PA related stuff.. And again, I questioned myself if I was so unworthy of accomplishing big projects that I was tasked to do things that even a temp staff can do?

I wanted to prove them wrong so badly, but the more i think about it, the more pressurised i became. Everyday seems bleak and i started seeking happiness outside of me, wondering why is everyone so happy. Thoughts of switching job started surfacing, thoughts of escaping..

Then i concluded that the source of my unhappiness is due to my greediness. My desire for $$ and climbing up the corporate ladder makes me an unhappy me. I started comparing myself to others and making myself miserable.

Just as I'm feeling sad.. & i saw this! :) IM SO HAPPY, NO ONE WILL BE COMPLETELY USELESS! HAHAH AT LEAST I CAN BE OF USE! *THAT FEELING LIKE YOU STRIKE 4D*


Anyway, I'm starting to like my job and starting to like challenges. Every small little tasks are opportunities for me to learn and grow & i have to get my foundation firmed before proceeding to level 2! I see myself falling down many times but i can feel myself growing stronger after each fall. :)

On the other hand, SEA Games is really coming to an end. :( I will miss this journey even though i have been complaining since the start. Suddenly missing my participants. Hope they will grow and learn something through this journey. Last 5 sessions with them! =)

Choices

My day started early with the Team Young NTUC Volunteers at NTUC SilverAce Centre. We played interactive games, colouring activities and lunch with the elderly. What I liked best was the warmth emitted by everyone present. There's no ranks nor positions, everyone just wanted to give their best and give happiness to another person, especially the elderly. 

Straight after that, went back to Tampines, get changed and rush down to HQ for SEA Games training. I must say that whenever there's human contacts, there will be human revolution, and I'm proud to say that I won over my fundamental darkness. 

"It may seem easier to remain closed off in our private world. But we will not grow as a person Alone and isolated, our true potential cannot shine. Interaction with other enriches our lives." - Daisaku Ikeda

As much as I enjoy being in my own world, I couldn't deny the fact that this quote is the reality. I'm glad that the nature of my work and the religion I'm practising enable me to keep polishing myself, bettering myself day after day. 

To conclude, yesterday was an enriching and fulfilling day. A day which I had many self-realisation moments. Even though it was a Saturday and a rest day for many. Despite getting rest, I started working at 9.30am and only ended at 12 midnight. This could mean having a "rest day" wasted, but if you resolved to make every single moment a value-creating one, then every moment is a pleasure.

It's a choice. :)

Last but not least, presenting you my first ever video made from iMovie - My JBU Experience *Touched on it in the previous post*. :)


Enjoy~

A Wake Up Call

Glad to know that my old blogposts still exist! Reading some of those old posts makes me feel like I'm 18 again, when all i cared about was K-pop dramas and boy bands.

In a blink of an eye, 6 years past, and I'm already 24 years old. Was checking out my links to friend's blogs, and realised many moved on but there are still a handful who still blog. ;)



Somedays when I'm feeling down, I do wonder why some people can be so happy? How do they constantly put up a smile on their faces in such a negative world? What kind of jobs do they work for? Don't they feel stressed or tired? and many many more questions just keeps popping up.


People who smile amid adversities are really admirable.


Last week was a busy busy week for me. Got a phone call for a job opportunity and without any hesitation, I readily agreed to it.


So today is the day for the job interview, and it somehow acts as a timely wake up call for me. Hmm it's only when you get out of your self-absorbent world, will you get to see how the world really functions and you will get to understand how lucky are you, given so many opportunities and good colleagues around you.


It all boils down to gratitude. Being appreciative of the opportunities, the colleagues, the environment you have.


So yesterday, had the chance to interact with the youths from Japan Federation of Basic Industry Workers' Union (JBU), and I really love Japanese's passion and spirits. When it's time to work, they behave just the way they should. However, when it comes to play, all i can see is a huge bunch of crazy people! Another thing that made me speechless was their warmth, human touch.. comparing to Singaporean, we really really have a long way to go! 


Oh, and is it a Japanese culture to perform whenever they are invited to a function? (I see that in Soka and in JBU) All of them performed so well given that their profession are in the metal industry. Thumbs up to that! Their never-give-up spirits in convincing me to learn the dance steps were also remarkable, ended up, i threw away my reservations and join in the fun!

Once again, this episode made me ponder about many of things in life.
I believed that everything that happened has it's good and bad. It's up to individuals to choose what they want to see and experience. I'm truly grateful for everything that has happened to me. :)


Last but not least, just want to remind myself a quote from a senior leader: What's the difference between a Buddha and a human being?


A Buddha keeps striving and keeps winning!


No matter how tough the situation may be, I must keep striving and keep winning! And here sharing this happy song which the youths from JBU performed to, 恋するフォーチュンクッキー ! ^^

I'm the best improved/progress student for dance! OMG! I'm over the moon, you will never understand how i feel. It's like something you always wanted to do, something you once thot that it's impossible in your hands, something that people laughed at when you told them your affection towards it but now, you've got acknowledged.

I know i still have a long way to go in this area. Sometimes it's those negative comments that motivate you. That saturday, 6th feb, i wont forget, the day where i regained my confidence, where i made this little pledge in my heart that i'll strive in this area and nv to give up no matter how tough the route ahead may be. :)

Jiayou jiaou!
