I’m appalled. This is the first time I’m watching this show, "Find Me a Singaporean” and I didn’t expect it to be so heartwarming. The show revolves around host Belinda Lee traveling to all places in the world searching for a Singaporean. They were there for different reasons. In today’s show, she arrived at Yunnan China, to visit a psycho-therapist, Chen Fang-Fang.
The journey started off by introducing Fang-Fang who is a volunteer in
In one of the residence they visited, there was this 26 year old guy who was kept within 4 walls (stack up by wooden planks), similar to a pig ark for 8 years. The host was shocked. The guy was suffering from some mental illness and it led him to go into rage at times. At the age of 18, he burnt down his house when he had an outbreak. His family had no choice but to put him up in a pig ark. As much as I know about how suppressed some villagers are in
Towards the end of the show, Belinda broke down in tears. I’m impressed with how she had fought back her tears throughout the interview with the patient. I’m even more impressed with Fang-Fang, against all odds stayed and help out the needy people in this place for 3 years. This show really taught me something. I’m going to catch it again next week. You should too.

Definition of Life
I met up with an army mate recently and man...was he inspirational! We sat down for a jug of beer at
This “diving” subject somehow got us to start lamenting about how we are wasting our life while we like our fellow Singaporeans, kept whining about how boring our life is. On the contrary, it is WE who made our life seem so dull.
We realized that a majority of us are stuck in the so call “Rat Race” where we’re forever chasing a bigger house (got to be condo) and better cars. We have seen people who are able to spend the whole weekend cleaning and polishing their cars, going to the accessories shop to “zhng” their cars (putting luminous light, adding spoilers as high as
You see, it is not uncommon for the general public to define “success” as being rich, driving big cars, staying in condos, carrying Gucci and
So what do I mean by this? Well some of you may say, No… I do experience life. I make it a point to go on holiday every 6 months. I see the world. But what are you seeing actually? I told this army mate… We do more of a “sightseeing” rather than really experiencing the culture, mingling with the folks, enjoying the pace and basically… the whole package. Besides, you don’t really need to travel to experience life.
Let’s start with picking up a sport or any activity which you could be excited about, something which will drive you to look forward to before the start of the day. This way, you will start to meet more people, learn newer things and enjoy life. I know it’s difficult to explain my definition of life to you in just this simple post. However, everyone is allowed to have their own perspective in life and how they want to manage it. The adventure begins now...

Yahoo Photo Shutting Down
How lucky I must have been... Just a couple of weeks ago, I was contemplating if I should be getting a Yahoo Photo or Flickr... I surf around and realized that Flickr brings out your photo in the best fashion as compared to Yahoo. There you have it... I'm right again...

我在美国的第2个星期
OK ok... I must apologise! Haven't been updating this blog as I promised! Ha ha!!! 不过你们要了解，我的工作真得很忙啊！我去了Lake Forest又回来了！Anyway, 2nd time never bring camera. So nevermind. But then, I'm suppose to upload the photo for the 2nd week right? Haha. Ok ok..Here we go!!!!

La Jolla Beach (2)
La Jolla Beach (3)

The beach was pretty relaxing... There were sea seals relaxing on the beach as well!
Seals relaxing on the beach
However...Sad thing is when we got there, there were not too many seals left. WHY? Becuas too many people were walking on the beach according to this signboard.
Signboard telling us why they left
Well, so long for the beach. We were pretty hungry and had craving for some Fonduuuuuuue... Heh heh....Long time never had it le..
Fondue
Coooooool...But I still prefer having it with Twinkie in Singapore! Hahah.. We ended the day at San Diego. But, as we were on the road most of the time, didn't get much chances to take pictures. The place was pretty busy and I was pretty worried to carry a camera around looking so much like a tourist! I still managed to take some pictures from the car though.
San Diego
It was about an hour an a half drive from San Diego back to LF. But if you're driving during day light, you would see the beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. Very Cheo. Oh yah! How can I forget. 这就是我的Batmobile!!!!
Buddy that brought me around
还有，这就是我的狗窝。
Comfort Suite
它就是陪我共度我在LF的第二个星期！
OK lah...Time to get back to work. 不然东西太多，要OT就Chia Lat loh...

我在美国的第一个星期
哈 哈！大家好！我是阿民。现在是美国2am! 这一个星期里，非常的忙啊！开会完后还是开会!这就是我在这里住的第一家酒店。
这家酒店叫Hampton Inn。
OK! 不要complain了。还是告诉大家我星期六做了什么！今天早上陪我的同事送我们另一个韩国的同事 去机场。她们的韩国的飞机师罢工。所以要去机场跟别的航空工司盖映（chop) 才可以在明天也就是星期天飞回韩国。过后，我们就前往Santa Monica。那里有购物商店和沙滩！我们在那吃午餐！
这个就是Santa Monica Beach!
好大的大炮面对着和保护 Santa Monica Beach!
Santa Monica Beach!
算是沙滩的门口吧。不过我们从这里出来的。
这就是他们的广场。不过没时间 Shop 啊！
OK。不要 upload 太多。回来再给你们看。过后呢，我们就前往好莱坞！Hollywood!塞车(Traffic Jam) 好厉害啊！不过我们还是到达目的地。一到了，第一件要做的就是拍新光大道 (Walk of Fame)！收获不错！
好多星星啊！
然后，我的同事就带我们到最好的地点拍好莱坞的招牌！
呵呵。我的技术不错吧。
晚 餐也就在好莱坞那一带用。过后，我们就前往迪斯尼乐园。不过没有进去里面啦，只是在他外面的购物商店 Shopping。也没什么机会拍照。 因为人很多，而我们也忙着看烟花！那里每一晚都会放烟花的！不过不是看得很多，就是等。因为，这些烟花是给那些近乐园里面玩和看表演的人放的。
如果给钱去里面玩，会看得更清楚。
下一次再来看个清清楚楚吧！好了！这就是我的星期六！下一次在聊！拜拜！！！！
