Finding Princess Froggy..

As we advance or get commercialized , many things and buildings changes. The environment changes too.
During our parent's generation, they can run around in farms, and going all around to catch fishes, spiders.Their hands and feet touches the nature almost everyday.

All they see are things of nature : the trees, the green grass, the nice blue skies.

Nowadays, it is tough to find place that can bring us nearer to nature.

Let me introduce you an interesting place.

It is called the Jurong Frog Farm. (Website)

Located at Lim Chu Kang area, it is the only frog breeder in Singapore and a member of the Kranji Countryside Association.It is an eye opener to those who have never seen thousands of frogs croaking and feeding at the same time.

They have guided tours which are filled with fun facts about the frog's characteristics, habitat, mating habits and conservation. The hands-on-the-frog session is literal- here is where you’ll get to touch the skin of the frog and wonder at its softness.

(Picture taken from their website)

We only learn about frogs, of how they grow from a tadpole, to a frog. Now, at Jurong Frog Farm, you can actually get to touch them!! Hands on, hor!! =)

They are located at: 51 (PLOT56) Lim Chu Kang Lane 6 S(718864)

The sweet girl from Thailand..

My new colleagues are a group of people, who can talk about almost everything under the sun. At a lunch one day, they started telling me to get a Thailand girlfriend, since i am handling the Thailand account of the company..

And coincidently, while surfing Youtube, i came across this video, with a very sweet girl in the video..



I could not understand what she was singing... luckily some kind person actually translated it to chinese!

Lyrics
อยากจะถามสักคำ ถามจริงๆ ถามเธอคิดยังไงกับฉัน
想要問一個答案 認真的問 問你對我的想法
แค่เป็นเพื่อนคุยกัน หรือมีความพิเศษซ่อนไว้
只是當聊天的朋友 或是有藏著其它特別的
อยากจะรู้จริงๆ รู้ใจเธอ ขอ..ขอฉันรู้ได้ไหม
真的想知道 知道你心裡 請...請讓我知道可以嗎
สิ่งที่คิดในใจ คล้าย หรือ ต่างกับฉัน
心裡所想的事情 跟我想的接近或相反
ก็อยากจะถามเธอก่อน ไม่อยากให้ช้าไป
就想先問你 不想要讓它拖延更多
วอนช่วยตอบ เร็วๆได้ไหม
請快點回答可以嗎
คือ..ความรัก หรือว่าอะไร บอกได้ไหม..คนดี
是...愛情還是其它 好心人可以告訴我嗎
แค่อยากจะถามเธอก่อน ก่อนถลำใจ
只想在錯過之前問你
ก็เพราะไม่รู้ทำไม ใจฉันตอนนี้
都是因為不知道為什麼 我的心變這樣
เริ่มร้อนๆ หนาวๆทุกที เวลาที่เจอหน้าเธอ
開始忽熱忽冷 每當我遇見你的時候更多
‎****間奏****
แดดทอฝนก็จาง เมฆลอยมา ฟ้าก็พลันสดใส
陽光照 雨退去 雲飄過 天空就馬上晴朗
แต่ใจฉันทำไม ยังคงกระวนกระวายอย่างนี้
但為什麼我的心 還這樣的焦慮
หากเธอคิดตรงกัน รู้ใจกัน ฉันคงไม่รู้สึกแบบนี้
如果你跟我有相同的感覺 我就不會這樣焦慮
โลกคงสวยทันที เหมือนอย่างที่ใจต้องการ
這個世界馬上變的美麗 像我的心情一樣
ก็อยากจะถามเธอก่อน ไม่อยากให้ช้าไป
就想先問你 不想要讓它拖延
วอนช่วยตอบ เร็วๆได้ไหม
請快點回答可以嗎

The poor maid..

Last night, i was having dinner with my friends..
Suddenly we notice a girl standing beside the table of the table behind us.

It was the maid of a family.

She (The Arrowed) was standing beside the table, while the employer (The Circled) was sitting down and eating.

"How can they do that!!" Our whole table screamed.. and started commenting on it, while i took this picture..

And with all this talking, the guy did not ask the poor girl to sit, and eat together with the family.. he even asked her to clean up the table.. (By the way, we are at Sakae Sushi restaurant.) She was there, standing, and looking at the guy, eating..

Either he "act blur" and did not hear our loud comments, or he could not understand English. *winks*

I feel angry and sad seeing this situation. 

Human Rights.

I don't have maid at home, and if i have, i will treat her like a human too.

We employ her to help out in the domestic chores, not as slaves!

And if i become maid someday, i don't want to be treated like this too.. can i?

=)

Busy weekends..

Firstly, its the Singapore Presidential Election 2011. Talking about not able to vote, this is my second vote after the General Election in May! (HAHA!)


In May, it was much easier to choose as there were only one, two parties to choose from. Either A or B.

This time around, we got 4 of them to choose from!! (And such a coincidence, they all are having the surname Tan!)

A Dr Tony Tan with his "pair of specs", Dr Tan Cheng Bock and "palm tree", Mr Tan Jee Say showing his "heart" and Mr Tan Kin Lian "high 5" with people he sees...

Anyway, the best one is still Mr Ong Teng Cheong, the first directly elected President.

And, also, he looked a bit like my grandpa.. =)

I still dont know who to vote. 

* * * * * * * *

Later tonight, i will be going for a concert. 

Whose concert, you may ask ?

I dont need to say much. 

Excited! =D

我最親愛的 - 張惠妹

I actually saw this MTV on my cable tv this morning, and its been repeating itself, in my head for the rest of the day..

張惠妹 been always one of my idols.. i just love her singing!

Perhaps the lyrics, is very meaningful.=)

我最親愛的

主唱：張惠妹

作曲：Russell Harris

填詞：林夕

編曲：劉志遠

監製：張惠妹．Jim Lee

很想知道你近況
我聽人説還不如你對我講　
經過那段遺憾
請你放心　我變得更加堅強　
世界不管怎樣荒涼　
愛過你就不怕孤單　

我最親愛的　你過的怎麼樣　
沒我的日子　你別來無恙　
依然親愛的　我沒讓你失望　
讓我親一親　像過去一樣　

我想你一定喜歡　
現在的我學會了你最愛的開朗　
想起你的模樣　
有什麼錯　
還不能夠被原諒　
世界不管怎樣荒涼　
愛過你就不怕孤單　

我最親愛的　你過的怎麼樣　

沒我的日子　你別來無恙　

依然親愛的　我沒讓你失望　

讓我親一親　像朋友一樣　

雖然離開了你的時間　

比一起還漫長　

我們總能補償　

因為中間空白的時光　

如果還能分享　

也是一種浪漫　

關係雖然不再一樣　

關心卻怎麼能說斷就斷　

我最親愛的　你過的怎麼樣　
沒我的日子　你別來無恙　
依然親愛的　我沒讓你失望　
讓我親一親　像親人一樣　

我最親愛的　你過的怎麼樣　
沒我的日子　你別來無恙　
依然親愛的　我沒讓你失望　
讓我親一親　像過去一樣

PRC oh PRC..

The couple sitting in front of me at the Toa Payoh MacDonald, i overheard, all your conversation. (It was too LOUD.)

Encountered someone posting this on forum, of a PRC uncle scolding a lady, at the counter..





Poor girl was being scolded right at the counter.. =(

There was an even more juicy news on Indian family cooking curry, and being complained by our PRC friends..

Then as this news came out, (people like me who loved Curry, of course, unhappy), a Facebook event of "Cook and Share a Pot of Curry" appeared ~

Mr Brown, funny as ever, came out with this Curry Night song.. HAHA!
>

Since you are in MY country, please try to get into OUR culture, or at least, if you are not eating/liking the food we eat.. you can just watch us eat.

I am SINGAPOREAN !

Haiz..

The Ghost Festival a.k.a. the Hungry Ghost Festival

A year past since my post here..

It is the Hungry Ghost Festival month, again..
We do offerings, praying..

Sat, the family did prayers to Grandpa, and also to mark the 15th day of the 7th Lunar Month..
There was tons of food, and my favourite: Curry!! =D


I also had wax on my hand, while trying to light the candles..

Come to think of it, the town councils did not put enough metal bins for us to burn the incense paper, for the "good brothers"..
Being environment friendly is one thing, we should still respect the "good brothers".. and if we burn them on the ground, we will be fined.
=(
We need more metal bins.. (at least for this month?)

There was so much food, im still eating the curry moon hoon, during lunch just now.



Dear friends, dont stay too late outside, be safe!

忐忑-龚琳娜 (Tan Te - Gong LinNa)

Hi all! How's everyone doing?
Finally its weekends, what are you doing this weekend?

Anyway, i got into a new job (again..), so its back to basic of learning new things. Therefore will be MIA(missing in actions, a little) =)

By the way, have you heard of this song before?
It is called 忐忑 - which means Perturbed, or making (someone) anxious or unsettled.



Basically i dont really get the lyrics.. but then, its rather addictive.
I guess it became so popular, people started making their own version of it. =D


See my friend here..



My favourite version, still from this girl.

HAHA!

Just for laughs!

My Taiwan trip - 22 to 29 July 2011

My very first time to Taiwan! After watching so many of Taiwan variety shows, of traveling, food.. i am finally on the way to visit this nice country..!

It was great fun, even though we were there 8 days, there were still so much to be seen and eaten.. should be going again, soon. (after saving up some more $$, haha!)

With much excitement, we boarded the plane..!
After about 5hours, we reach Tao Yuan airport.. and as we make our way to the hotel, we took lunch on their Taiwan High Speed Rail.. traveling at about 320km per hour (wow!)
It was about an hour journey to the destination.



After checking in, we walked around the area and took the Hello Kitty & friends flyer. Each capsule was of different cartoon theme.. cuteness!


We visited the nearby night market, they have so much night markets to visit at each area of the country!


It was about 10+pm already, but the place was still crowded. (in Singapore, the shopping centres are already closed at this time.Zzz..)


The day 2, we visited 垦丁, 鹅鸞鼻, there is a very nice lighthouse, and nice scenery.



Day 3 was 台中, and we visited 逢甲夜市 for shopping and more food..


And came across a "成龙鸡排" ... LOL



We visited 阿嘉的家，one of the place which was used to make the movie: 海角七號.




Day 4, we went to 清境, 青青草原..

We saw sheep, and beautiful horses..

Able to guess what these are? =P

Next few days we travelled to 台北 and was there till the day 8!


Of course we visited the Taipei 101 building..


=)


The 渔人码头 or the The Fisherman´s Wharf. Watching the sun setting, and couples sitting around with the lady's head resting on the guy's shoulder. A great place for dating! =)


We went to 野柳地質公園, to see interesting rocks..



十分 to write our wishes and seeing our 天燈 flies up into the sky.


The always crowded 西門町..


In the end, i did not bump into Jacky Wu, only a poster. LOL

As i wrote in the beginning, there were still so much to be seen and eaten.. this post is just a simple sammary of the places, i have been to. If you have the chance, do visit Taiwan, and share your experience too! =)

We F***ing did it..!

Nanyang Technological University's (NTU) Ms Trinetta Chong, 23, gave a speech to inspire and congratulate her schoolmates during the school's convocation ceremony held on campus.

A speech that came out of the newspaper...



She used the word F*** !

As from Dictionary.com, it really means a not so good wording to use.


But anyway, some words got many meanings too..
For example the word: Gay 


It can actually mean carefree and merry too. 


The western country was quite open to using this word actually.. almost every sentence, the F word can be present.. 

Same goes to songs too..!




* I am posting the "Clean" version of the song. If you interested and of legal age, go ahead and find the dirty versions, ok? =)


She could be too happy that she forgotten it was quite a serious ceremony going on.. forgive her? Or just let time be the judge.. Forget..? =)
