Change from Within

Green Green Green

I have been working relatively hard for the past few weeks. With the traveling that comes with my current position, I decided to take a break and chill at home tonight. Believe it or not Oprah was on and it inspired me to write :D

Since thinking and pondering about "Change" for a while, I think the earth we live in and we, the people living on it are very sick and it takes EVERYONE's effort to improve the situation. Although the change we do, might cause a bit of inconvenient or uncomfortable at start, it is crucial to our success as everyone's effort is small, it is important everyone is aware and do their part.

I suggest 5 basic THINK we can do:

1. THINK if our ancestors would do it this way
2. THINK if we can safe some energy (reduce wastage) doing it another way
3. THINK if there is a way we can do it better
4. THINK reuse and recycle
5. THINK fresh

By doing the above, I have managed to save the electricity bills at my home by more than half. The fastest scenario is reducing the air-conditioner use at home, office and in the car. I am not asking to give up all luxury in life or you not to use your air-conditioner at all, but reduce the use to a level where you can save, eg. turn on the fan after the room is cooled down :D (feeling really smart, hahaha)

I believe most of us couldn't be bother with many things as we want convenient and would rather leave things "ON" even when not using it. Another example is home appliances such as TV and radio. I saw program on Astro that day which suggested family will around USD 60 a year by not having the appliances on "STANDBY" mode. I don't know how many families are there in America, for the purpose of argument, if there is 10,000,000 families just America alone, there is USD 600,000,000 saving in energy. Not a lot but a good start.

There are more examples out there, am glad to shave more next time. If you have any tips of living better do SHARE. For those of you who like reading, I recommend joining http://www.boundlessliving.com/

Writing again

This is one of the longest period I have stopped writing. It more than 6 months since my last post. The good news is I have changed job, feeling better, living healthier and living my dreams. I hope everyone is doing the same.

I attended an eye opening event last week in Bangkok, Thailand. It was a special event for exporters, researchers and people involved in the growing, processing and marketing of tropical and sub-tropical fruits. Met up with people who are trying to improve fruits output, fruit quality, better way to transport the fruits and improve health and wellness through research on consuming different fruit based products.

Effective Microorganism (EM) is another interesting topic on improving health and environment. EM can be used to improve inner health and outer environment. Inner health can be improved through taking EM which works like any yogurt drinks. Even better is EV has higher concentration (in terns of quantity and type) of microorganism as compare to standard pro-biotics drinks drinks available from your market. For the environment, it can improve soil quality, farm output and even improve plant resistant to fungus and bacteria.

That's all for now and I will be back again soon. I will at least share once a week from now. Hope to hear from anyone on any more earth saving ideas. Lets solve the world hunger and malnutrition problem.

Happy 2008

The new year is here.

2008 is a great year... A year full of opportunity, wealth, joy and love. Do take this opportunity to change all you want to this year. Personally, I hope to learn more about myself, step forward in life and make my first million :)

On 1st of Jan, I cooked lunch for a few friends and went for a new year dip in my pool. Accordingly, the dip will cleanse away all the negativity from the past and bring fantastic fortune this year. (Superstitious this maybe, I have been feeling good since 1st Jan 2008).

Wish you all a great year, and I hope to keep on posting here sharing the nice food and places I will be visiting. If you have facebook, do add me as I have more yummilicious pictures posted there. Don't forget to check out http://www.themixingbowl.biz/ for your Chinese New Year cookies as another festival is just round the corner.

Supper in Bangkok ;)

There is so much food to eat around the clock. Since I was staying in a service apartment, I decided to have a eat in supper from take away food ;) These are some cup cakes and banoffee pie from Gourmet Market :D


Also from Gourmet Market, this colourful creps rolls are really yummy and look great too right?

Traditional Mango glutenous rice with modern presentation ;) Again from GM

This Blue dumpling is not from GM, but from Cabbage and Condoms a restuarant founded by the condom king of Thailand. This place serve beautiful and yummy Thai dishes and the dumpling is one of their highlights. Yum....

More about Bangkok

Am sure you know who the tourist is ;) Me at the ROYAL PALACE :D Looks hot I think, hahaha






Water Crest deep fried til crispy and serve with a chili and coriander dipping sauce.


Grilled banana on the street, a Bangkok delicatecy but honestly not my favourite. It green banana grilled and deep in honey or caramel.


You might wonder what is the lady doing? Peking Duck in Bangkok? Its a great promotion, 280 Baths for one whole duck including the crepes and another dish.

2nd Trip in Bangkok June 2007

13 June 2007, AirAsia Flight AK 880 took me to Bangkok.


In Bangkok I checked in to Citadines, at Sukhumvit 16. Its a very nice service apartment hotel. I have a studio to myself and this is the lobby :D

Patthai, my favourite rice noodle dish this time round in Bangkok. Before this I always love the trotter. I still like it but this time didn't get to eat it a lot. If you wanna have it, go to the Food Hall Food Court at Siam Paragon. It comes with a soft centre stewed egg.

Sago meat balls and steam dumplings. These delicate snacks can be found in many Bangkok's food courts and street malls. The steam dumpling is a bit like Hong Kong "chi cheong fun" and Vietnamese pancake except its is mould into a dumpling shape instead of long roll. As for sage meat balls, it is a carameled nut and meat filling wrapped with little sagos.

This is one of my favourite shop in Siam Paragon, its a modern deco spice shop call "Spice Store". It has a little cafe and served spiced and Asian flavoured ice cream.

End of June 2007

Helloooo again, if you guys are wondering what has happen to me? The answer is simple.... WORK. I have been doing lots of traveling for work for the past 1 and half months. So there is lots of nice food, photoes and long days and nites.

I was in Bangkok twice, a week in JB & Singapore, and a week in Penang. I will add separate entries to tell you more about each of these destinations.

Time flies and its time to check our half yearly goals and set new ones for the next 6 months :D Personally, I have not achieve much over the past year. I think its time for me to reawaken the giant within to work out some miracles ;) I am interested in any business opportunities that makes lots of money and help people :D hahaha
