人生最大的遺憾莫過于與親人的生離死別。
當您知道生命即將結束的時候﹐你會跟家人說些什麼？
短片里的爸爸就把想跟女兒所說﹐却来不及讲的話都事先錄在視相里了。
事隔多年﹐女孩終於長大了。
她也錄了一段話給爸爸。
究竟﹐她跟爸爸說了些什麼呢？

Thaksin Beef Noodle
How often have you come across a dish that got it's name from a Politician?
Indeed, the name was what truly caught my eye while researching for recommendations of what to eat at Clementi Central.
Nestled in a Halal coffeeshop, Thaksin Beef Noodle sells - as you would have guessed it - Beef Noodles that is named after Thaksin Shinawatra, the Thai Prime Minister.
Manned by two Malay ladies, the stall offer other Thai dishes like the Pad Thai, Seafood Tom Yum, Seafood Fried Rice and Beef Ball Soup.
I decided to give their signature dish, the Beef Noodles a try after reading reviews online touting it as the next best alternative outside of Thailand!
What I learnt was that the boss acquired the recipe from a Thai thus making this an authentic bowl of Thai Beef Noodles.
Available in four different sizes (Standard, Value, Supreme, Super), I ordered for myself the Supreme bowl which costs $6 and I requested for kway teow instead of noodles.
I stayed in the vicinity of Clementi Central when I was younger and Boon Kee Wanton Mee was what I ate most of the time whenever I accompanied Mum to the wet market.
That was undoubtedly one of the best Wanton Mee I have ever had and constantly craved for through these years even after having moved to another estate since I was in primary 4.
超人配樂版
一位伸直右手正在飞行中的超人突然出现在一辆行驶中的车子窗外。
他靠近车窗，拍打窗户问倒「哥斯达黎加」的首都「圣荷西」怎么去，让车内乘客捧腹大笑。
而坐在副驾的女乘客笑着回答：“往前，再往前”。
超人向她道谢后，就往右飞走了。
仔细一看，原来“超人”是后座乘客从后车窗伸出上半身，模仿超人飞行的动作。

However, among all the annoying traits that I have come across on the train, nothing irritates me more than having someone reading the newspapers near me!

Witness the miracle of life!
This video of a Taiwanese female reporter from a Hakka TV Station reporting on a secret slide in The Grand Hotel turned viral after she took the plunge down the slide and let out a series of shrieks which bore an uncanny resemblance to the screams of the Angry Birds.
The slide was in fact an emergency escape route for Chiang Kai-Shek - former President of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
Measuring 2.1m tall, 2.2m wide and 90m long, the secret passageway had it's own independent electricity, drainage system and the lamp shades were of shatter-proof quality.
Famed for their cold steamed crabs, Lee Kui - or better known as Ah Hoi (Crab in Teochew) - is a forty years old Teochew Restaurant that dishes out traditional Teochew cuisine.
When we arrived during the evening, the restaurant was already teeming with people and we had to wait for a good twenty minutes, even though we had already made a reservation.
The walls at the holding area were adorned with pictures of their menu so patrons could check out what they wanna eat before they get a table. Good strategy to keep patrons occupied so the wait does not seem that long.

As the waitress showed us to our table, a wave of nostalgia sets in. The nondescript deco instantly reminds one of a chinese restaurant from the 80s.

| The Yong Tau Foo originated from the chinese ethnic group, Hakka. It is basically Tofu stuffed with minced meat (add some salted fish to the minced meat mixture for that extra oomph!) and deep fried. My Mum is a Hakka so she would made it for us periodically. I guess as time progresses, people became more health conscious resulting in more varieties being made with vegetables such as brinjal, okra, chilli pepper and bittergourd. The name Yong Tau Foo has thus been used liberally to apply to foods prepared in this manner. Yong Tau Foo in soup is generally a healthy (just omit the fried stuffs) one-meal dish comprising mostly of vegetables. Well, it just happened that it is one of those days when I felt lazy and do not want to cook up a storm in the kitchen. I bought some pieces of Yong Tau Foo from the wet market and simply threw them into the stock in the evening and voila, dinner is served. Serve this over a piping hot bowl of steamed rice. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"The Shot"
I was captivated by this stunning video of a Hummingbird feeding off someone's hand. It was a beautiful moment detailing the trust the bird had in that person.
You can read about the story behind the shot here if you are interested.
Watch the video below.
Exactly my pet peeve!
Have you ever been annoyed, at one time or another, by someone in front of you who's walking and texting at the same time?
Urgh! Don't you wish you could shove that person out of your way?
This is especially frustrating when you are pressing for time.
As the video explains, it is plain inconsiderate and potentially dangerous!
Move to one side when you need to text so you do not delay the person walking behind you.
We found the city heavily polluted, way to (sic) crowded, un-charistmatic, bland, and basically a complete waste of time. We concluded that in Singapore there is nothing worth seeing, the temples were un-memorable and crammed inbetween the busy streets, not worth a visit! [via]
Before we get all defensive, remember MP Baey Yam Keng's teachings?
We need to reflect upon ourselves, are we the way they described? [via]
So, are we really what the tourist has made us out to be?
Food for thought?

Bak Chor Mee $3.50
Bak Chor Mee (aka Minced Pork Noodle) has always been one of my favored noodle dish.
When I was at Bugis to see the 3D Street Art by Joe Hill the other day, I thought why not cross over to Seng Huat Eating House at Liang Seah Street for a quick bite?
I had specifically requested for extra vinegar and spiciness but they had either forgotten about my request or added too little to make a difference.
Despite that, however, Seng Huat Bak Chor Mee did not fail me. The al dente mee pok tossed in a winning concoction of chilli and vinegar was such a delight!

During one of my history lessons many years ago, I have learnt that the British surrendered unconditionally to the Japanese at the Old Ford Factory located along Upper Bukit Timah.
I had always thought that the Old Ford Factory have been left vacanted ever since the war ended.
An abandoned building with such a historical story behind it would surely be home to many grievous spirits? (I really outta hand it to my vivid imagination sometimes!)
Coincidentally, that is where I had to pass by on my way to school every day.
Maybe that is why I would often get the creeps each time my bus pass by it during my journey to school in the pre-dawn hours.
After graduation, I was still fascinated by the rich history associated with the building (albeit still fearful of whatever thing that could be lurking inside).
What I did not know was that The Ford Motor Factory has actually resumed operations after the war in 1947 and was shut down in 1980.
It was only a week ago that I learnt the building was gazzetted as a national monument and already turned into a exhibition gallery from 2006.
Silly me! And I thought the building is still in ruins!
I'm sure you have come across such amazing 3D pavement art from your email or facebook before.
Wouldn't you have wished to see them 'live'?
In partnership with Bugis Junction, organiser National Heritage Board has brought in renowned 3D street art artist, Joe Hill from the UK, to present two new pieces of artwork.
On February 15, 1942, the British surrendered to the Japanese Imperial Army due to the shortage of food and ammunition.
Thus began the horrifying Japanese Occupation which lasted three years and eight months.
In February 1962 - twenty years after the war has ended, remains belonging to civilian victims of the Japanese occupation were unearthed. The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce& Industry undertook the responsibility of gathering the remains and creating a memorial.
In February 15, 1967, the Civilian War Memorial was built and the remains were buried under it.
This monument is composed of four similar pillars, symbolizing Singapore's four major races.
On this day every year (also known as "Total Defence Day"), the Government would hold a memorial service to remember the thousands of people killed during the occupation.

Just ignore the KFC bits...
[via malaysiakini]
A video footage of KFC staff assaulting its customer at I-City in Shah Alam, Malaysia has gone viral on the internet.
In the video, three male staff stormed out of the counter and one of them was seen trying to hold back the other two from approaching the victim.
As more staff emerged from within, one of them suddenly dashed forward amid the confusion and punched the victim, causing him to fall onto a chair.
Rumors were rife that the victim had insulted the KFC staff with degratory words which led to the attack.

The victim, Danny Ng, held the press conference to clarify and deny allegations by netizens that the assault was due to him uttering vuglar and discriminatory words at the KFC staff.
While Ng admitted that he was angry and had shouted at the staff, he stressed he “definitely did not use vulgarities or make racial slurs.” [via JakartaGlobe]
当初的爱呢？
养狗不是赶流行。
每当电影里有个别犬种的出现，总会造成大家一窝峰的到宠物店去买。
事先没完全了解犬种的个性和需要就盲目地把它买回家。
后来才发现家里那只狗的体形越养越大，毛脱的厉害，过于好动，又爱吠，等等…
一时兴起买了狗，最后却因为不像想象中那样而决定弃养它！
这，实在让人好心疼！
What do you wanna be when you grow up?
