个人品牌

我想,这个世纪强调的是个人品牌。

非常喜欢这个广告里的词句:

“有改变,就有新发现。重复很容易,改变很难。因为难,才好玩。结果,重要吗?”

我正朝我所要的生活方式前进,希望能找到属于自己的个人品牌。

希望大家也是。

菇且一试 Mush Try!


Went to this restaurant named as "Mushroom Park" 百菇园 at Serangoon Gdn Way with Pris last night. It's the franchise of a Taiwanese food chain.


There are over 20 types of mushroom in the steamboat..the soup is really yummy and aromatic! The assorted mushroom steamed rice is very delicious too, tastes like claypot rice...

Zen-feel and relaxing ambience....

I've found my substitute to Salmon Sashimi..hehe..this cold dish, Mushroom Sashimi goes rather well with Wasabi... beside the dish are two side dishes - mushroom floss and deep-fried abalone mushroom, which are irresistible too! I bought a packet home too....:) The green tea pudding is a very special dessert too...must try!

For more details, u can surf its website @ http://www.mushroompark.com.sg/ .There's a variety of set menu to choose from. If you are health-conscious and a fan of mushrooms, this is the place for u!

抛砖引玉


四川大地震让我体会到灾难的无情与人间的温情。
上个周末,港台艺人先后主办了《众志成城救灾大行动》和《把爱传出去》的赈灾活动,牵动每个华人的心,发挥了抛砖引玉的作用。

对于这次的地震,有许多感想:
1。真的,施比受更有福。
2。身为炎黄子孙的我们,在灾害时一定要团结一心。
3。我们真的好幸福,一定要惜福!
4。感恩死伤者的牺牲,让我从另外一个角度看这个世界,了解什么才是人生的真理。
5。地球真的生病了!
6。生命好脆弱,真的要活在当下,因为失去的无法挽回,未来的无法预料,心想做什么,就去做吧!
7。除了感动,还是感动。对医疗、救护人员的大爱精神真的是佩服地五体投地。

非一般寺院 - 佛光山










一直以来,我是个无神论者。自从去年去了心灵之旅,开始跟佛法结缘。

我没皈依,称不上是佛教徒,只能说是佛教的尊崇者。

在5月17日当天,跟智扬还有慧诗到坐落在榜鹅新址的《佛光山》祈福,感受了佛光普照。

这座新落成的寺院非常特别,从外观根本看不出是佛寺。

现代的建筑突现了星云大师所提倡的佛教生活化,把佛教与人民的生活拉近。

很喜欢佛光山那股浓浓的禅意,就像一杯纯水,看似无味,品尝后却有丝丝的清凉、朴素和淡香的感觉。
浴佛是卫塞节的礼俗,借助水的纯净来清净我们的身心灵。
二楼有个抄经阁,让信众用毛笔抄写佛经。以前念小学时曾学习用毛笔写字,相隔这么久再拿起毛笔,有点生疏。我们三个抄完之后都有点手酸。抄经能培养耐性与集中力,你们有机会来不妨试试!
佛光山正式在2008年6月8日开幕,当天早上星云大师将亲临现场与纳丹总统主持揭幕仪式。

Earth Off Balance & it's OUR fault!



Fri, May 16, 2008 The Straits Times

Earth off balance and it's our fault
WASHINGTON - HUMAN-GENERATED climate change is altering plant and animal life on every continent, a vast global study has found, with flowers blooming and birds breeding earlier, and polar bears becoming cannibals.

Hundreds of previous studies have noted these specific changes, and most suggested a link to human-caused, or anthropogenic, global warming.
But the new study, published in the journal Nature, goes further, trawling hundreds of papers published in peer-reviewed journals dating back to the 1970s, and correlating them with temperature changes.
The researchers uncovered a close relationship between temperature shifts between 1970 and 2004 and changes in plants and animals as well as physical changes like the retreat of glaciers and the water level in desert lakes.
'When you look at all of the glaciers and all of the snowpack and all of the birds laying eggs earlier and all of the plants having spring earlier across a continent, then we see we can detect anthropogenic signals,' said the study's lead author, Dr Cynthia Rosenzweig of Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
'Humans are influencing climate through increasing greenhouse gas emissions,' she added.
'The warming world is causing impacts on physical and biological systems attributable at the global scale.'
The scientists also worked to rule out observed changes that could have been caused by factors other than human-related climate change.
Building on research done to support findings reported last year by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Dr Rosenzweig and her co-authors brought together nearly 30,000 sets of data about biological and physical changes around the world.
They then matched those up with a detailed database of global temperature change and 'observed changes consistent with warming', said Dr Rosenzweig.
Critics of the earlier IPCC report had argued that the perceptible warming which has occurred over the last three decades is the result of natural causes, such as volcanic eruptions or changes in solar radiation.
But the new paper rejects such theories, saying that the changes in the Earth's natural systems cannot be explained by such factors.
Dr Rosenzweig said the link between human-caused global warming and observed biological and physical changes was just too strong.
On a global scale, the correlation is more than 99 per cent between the two factors, she said, while on a continental scale it is probably between 90 and 99 per cent.

西安之旅(四)


大唐盛世歌舞表演。。。果然是中国历代最繁华的朝代,只能用金碧辉煌来形容!


佛教在唐朝兴盛,当然少不了千手千眼观音!


楼观台--老子讲经说法的地方


中国的旅游胜地什么东西最常见呢?梯级啰!
 

远处那栋才是楼观台……还要继续爬上去!



终于到了!


老子的道德经短短五千个字,却道出宇宙与人生的真理。


许愿井 Make a wish, make a wish......


原来孔子以前也曾听过老子说经……

西安之旅(三)

西安碑林博物馆 -- 收藏了历代雕刻在石林、石碑上的历史文献

密密麻麻的汉字,写都不简单了,何况是雕刻。。
碑林里也有孔庙,这里是当时状元金榜题名后必到之处
孔夫子的雕像
晚餐时间!这里的食物不会太咸,口味接近新加坡的菜肴。
西安的菜喜欢加入核桃,蛮香的!
