Urgh... Our weather have been very bad the last few days! It was the worst on SAT that I even had to on aircon throughout the day. It was so hot that we could hardly sleep without air-conditioning. Now I begin to wonder what's life was long time back when I was young and my family totally have no aircon at all. It was only in my early twenties that my family have air-conditioning when we shifted to our current place and we could then afford one. Hmmm... guess having a FAN under this HOT weather not going to help. Maybe that's the reason why so many peoples loves to hang out around shopping mall on weekends. Guess I am going to see a BIG jump in my utilities bills this month. But at least I know my air-con units are all functional.
While the inhale is stimulating, the exhale is relaxing. While the inhale is about bringing energy into the body, the exhale is about releasing stress, toxins, and pain.
Because of this, you can use conscious breathing as a break in your day. By focusing on your exhale, you can let go of the past and come into the present with a renewed commitment. Here's how:
Sit up in your chair with your feet on the floor and a long spine. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Inhale through the nose, feeling your spine get longer and taller. Then exhale through your mouth with a deep sigh. As you exhale, visualize the moments of your day moving away from you.
Try this for a few minutes anytime you need to let go of something. It can have a profound effect on your emotional and physical health.
It has been a long time since I last played the game. Tonight started again as my son have been playing. Guess what my level is so much lower than his. Better buck up!
Aiming to get to level 30! Still have 4 levels more.
A lunch meeting is a form of multi-tasking which allows busy executives to fill their tummies and talk shop at the same time. Whether you're the host of an invited guest, you should be aware of some things if you want to make the meal a success.
***Be nice to all ***
Being impolite to wait staff is the biggest mistake you can male. Don't act like a spoilt child or as if you own the restaurant. How you treat the service staff reflects on your general attitude towards co-workers and business associates.
***Order with care ****
Crabs are a bad idea, and so are potential messy foods like spaghetti. Laksa and curry are also best avoided if you're wearing white. You want to leave a good impression, which is usually hard if you have gravy stains on your clothes
***Give your undivided attention ***
Turn your mobile phone off or put it on silent mode. It's a form of courtesy to your lunch companions. If there's an urgent call you have to answer, excuse yourself and take the call outside.
***Arrive on time ***
Punctuality is appreciated. If you are the host, plan to arrive early so you can be at the table to greet your guest. If you are held up unexpectedly, ask your lunch partner if he or she would mind waiting for you, or if it would be better to postpone the lunch to a later date.
***Choose the right restaurant ***
If you are the host, pick a place that you are familiar with and that you know provides good food and service. Places that are too crowed are not conducive to business talk. Also ask your guest if her has any food preferences or restrictions.
***Confirm the appointment ***
As the host, call or e-mail in the morning to reconfirm the appointments; as a guest, remember that a lunch meeting is not the occasion for an intern to get a free lunch, unless he is specifically invited to be involved in the discussion.

Note: My personally theory on lunch time is to have a break from the stressful work. Hence talking about work related issue is a NO-NO, which i would avoid.
Since school was closed for children's day, we brought Joel to Genting.
As usual, my favourite "Tiger machine" ate some $$$. See I am boasting their economy again.
I am thinking in a few years time when Singapore CASINO open would they still have business or not. It seems that each day, there are alots of Singaporeans travelling there boosting their economy. Guess by then those SIN-GEN coaches would likewise to affected, espeacially with the 7 hours ride there.
One thing I dislike about the place there is that was the "heavily polluted" air. It was nice viewing the clouds flying pass by when a COOL breeze, but the people there just simply LOVES to pollute air. It was bad especially in the CASINO as there is no at all any inlet and outlet of the air circulation! This this would never an issue in our singapore casino. For that, I would give my government credit for enforcement on this law and signs "No SMOKING" around the city.
On children's day it actually drizzle in GENTING. It visibility was less than 20 m when i was walking outdoor in the theme park. Freezing COLD indeed, but quite an experience like walking in the clouds. Managed to take a few rides this time round of course children is usually the one who loves it the best of all.

On Sun, while on our way to holiday, we received a call from my brother informing that one of my aunt had passed away. I last saw her in NOV and she seems so prefectly healthly, but who knows she was striked with cancer in Feb I was told. Few weeks back, her daughter-in-law then called and informed my parents about my aunt situation. It was shocking to me and unbelievable that the other 5 aunties didn't bothered to inform us! Anyway, my dad visited her 2 weeks back. She was one of the aunties that I loved and respected her alot as compared to the rest. She was strong at her last few weeks of her jounery in this world.
May she rest in peace.
Life is so unpredictable, hence please take some time off to tell the one that you love him/her and spend some moments together.
