01. 新年期间难得全家人到大嘴巴K歌3小时；父母手握麦克风扭开喉咙开唱的同时让我领悟了小学年年抱的归的歌唱比赛奖杯绝对是遗传。
02. 98岁的太祖母即使眼睛已看不见，听力也不好，行动不方便，甚至不认得你是哪位子女，孙又或曾孙；只要你往前在她脸颊一吻，她依然可以感觉你的爱。将近100年的脸上的皱纹讲诉着许许多多的酸甜苦辣， 名为 ‘人生’。
03. 香港TVB连续剧无论再怎么狗血的剧情绝对启蒙于日常生活事件。果然，戏如人生，人生如戏。
04. 多多沟通，才能知道对方适不适合。 找伴侣可不能看光鲜表面而已。更不能以他的敬业度来衡量，因为你要找的是陪你过日子的伴侣，不是下半生的工作伙伴。
05. 最不起眼的问候，往往可以是最窝心，打着最出动人心的讯息。语法字体再不齐也无妨；扣人心悬的是最真诚的问好。

Seeking Inspiration at the Mountain Top
Sleeping sun or not, sipping a hot cuppa Black Tea Latte admist the super chilly weather at Genting Highlands was a blissful thing to do! People-watching at First World Plaza's Starbucks while getting inspired for an on-going project and chewing away crispy, hot fried durians was a weird thing to do, but oh-well: IT WAS FUN!!
Tottering around in the chilly and misty atmosphere with a temperature that was below 15 degree celcius without my coat earned me a new title: A Penguin back to its own Habitat! (no, i am not silly Pingu!)
------------------------------- FREE TALK -------------------------------
Movie Review for I, Frankenstein.... 3 out of 5. I was anticipating the movie for some great CG and action but ... um, uh, well, erm ... like that only lorh. When I continuously reach for my popcorn when the show is reeling - it means that the show is not up to expectations. Meh.

The fog swallowed the First World Hotel Towers! Sejjjjuuuukkkkkk, but nice!

Observing Ordinary Orang at the Kopi Tiam
Was at the Kopi Tiam the other morning for a wholesome breakfast before heading back home for a quiet weekend.
It was a public holiday for the Thaipusam celebrations, needless to say, the Kopi Tiam was crowded with merry folks of old and young.
After having a hearty good meal of Kopi Bing gao gao and Chu Yuk Fan (pork noodles), I decided to start people-watching while waiting for my companion to finish up her meal.
"I like people like that. Making an honest living. Kan bagus." My friend raised her eyebrows at my random thoughts (rants, more like.)
The stall selling my favourite Chu Yuk Fan is run by this middle-aged Chinese couple. The husband huffs and puffs away frying Yong Tau Fu, mincing onion stalks and boiling soups. The wife, a petite lady supporting a ponytail will help to serve the dishes and collect money from the customers. It was when I glanced up, saw a satisfied and happy smile on the lady's face upon collecting the payment from one of her customers that I realized - people who make an honest living like this are worth all the respect. They might not be in tailor-made pants and suits working in air-conditioned rooms behind LCD screens, but they are definitely part of the strong pillars that hold up the society.
Bien salute.
Then, this macho and ruff looking man who sat at the next table caught my attention when he started talking on the phone. From his paint-tainted coveralls, worn boots and very tanned skin, I am guessing that he is either a construction worker or a plumber or an electrician. When he spoke, the voice and language was gruff and awkward but the conversation certainly brought a smile to my lips. A rough and tough man, asking the person at the other end of the phone conversation whether he/she has recovered from the cold; putting on a tough demeanor while chastisising the person to take their medication on time, to rest and to take care of themselves etcetera etcetera.
Despite looking all burly, tough, and manly - he certainly is sweet and sensitive. His tan covered up his blush well, I must say. Caring guys are a rare find nowadays eh.
There's also stall owners who are the best gymnasts with superb balancing acts with their pots, pans, containers, trays and ladles.
There's waiters who took orders with clear, loud and sing song voice that can be heard through out the whole restaurant. Whatever beverage you ordered - be it Milo Bing, Teh C, Cham Bing or Barley Suam - everyone in the restaurant is informed as the waiters shout their orders from different corners.
I like Kopi Tiams. Food is good. The crowd and buzz is always there.
