Checked out the new shopping centre at Tampines. Quite big 5-6 levels. Got a marche like japanese restaurant…food looks good, long queue too. Got the Kim Gary HK restaurant. The famous one from JB and vivo. Also got the new Jap fashion store UNIQLO. Nice tshirts there. A colleague of mine tried to take photo of a golden retriever in the shopping centre. The dog was a guide for a blind man. A security guard stopped him from taking pictures…saying photography not allowed in shopping centre…wth lol. My colleague demanded to see the sign for that, but in the end the security guard also never take him to see that sign/rules. Wierd… maybe by rite pets not allowed in shopping centres and he didn’t want it to be publicised. But i tot disabled got exceptions…oh well… In Japan, pets are allowed in shopping centres tho… of cos on leash :P

Words of Wisdom

Found this when i was reading about the PC casing i ordered from potterhouse.net :D

Cooler Master HAF (High Air Flow) 932 Case Review
See the bolded quote below

With all that being said you absolutely, positively need to give this case a second chance if you think its exterior is not for you. Its interior is literally a treasure cove of hidden goodness. Heck, give this case a week and you will learn to love its exterior. A wise man once said: “…Don’t marry for beauty, marry for personality and later you will wonder how you could have missed her hidden beauty…”. Maybe we’re paraphrasing a bit too much but you get the idea. This case’s charms will rub off on you if you give it a chance and before long you will come to see it a work of art which is “quirky” and not “pretentious”.

I always like rainbow. Its not because there is a chance i will find a pot of gold. Haha.

I find rainbow amazing. It sort of make the blue sky more cheerful. It certainly make me more happy to see one :D

My old nick used to be ‘Niji’. It means rainbow in Japanese. And it so happen that my fav. Japanese jRock group, their band name, L’Arc~en~Ciel, means rainbow(or ‘The Arc in the Sky’) in French.

And I just found out something today from a middle school kid:p (Maybe alot of people already knew about this.. lol)

Roy G Biv

I just found out that is how people help used that name to help themselves in remembering the colour of rainbows and its in order from longest to shortest wavelength.

Red

Violet

Well, the most important thing is… its Roy G Biv… ROY G Biv :p hahaha

According to the above predicted adventure trend by various experts, we can conclude that in the next ten years time, we will be very much living in a very different world. Where traveling is no longer needed, we can experience it on 3D – maybe at home. Where winter activity will be highly regarded and no more woods to walk or tea to enjoy.

I wonder if it is because of climate change, pollutions and/or war that causes lots of beautiful places and forestation to disappear, and extreme cold places become rarer than before for human to appreciate due to global warming.
