11/19/2006 Story of The Banker and the FishermanAn investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The banker complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The fisherman replied, "Only a little while." The banker then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?" The fisherman said, "With this I have more than enough to support my family's needs." The banker then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, go for walks with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends. As you can see, I have a full and busy life." The banker scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat! With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to the capital city. After that, who knows, maybe you could take on the world!" The fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?" To which the banker replied, "I'd say about 15 to 20 years." "But what then?" asked the fisherman. The Banker laughed and said, "That's the best part! When the time is right, you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions." "Millions?...Then what?" the fisherman continued prodding. The banker said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, go for romantic walks with your wife, and in the evenings you could sip wine, play guitar and sing songs with your friends!" To which the fisherman mused, "Now isn't that strange? Isn't that what I'm doing now?" 11/16/2006 Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe (Marina Shopping Centre)I have tried the following..
- Cheese baked pork chop
I actually expect a lot from this dish cos it is 1 of the "must try" item. However it did not really get me hooked onto the dish. I remember the cheese is not bad but the pork is not tender enough. The pork comes in a big piece (with bones) and i have to use a knife (instead of a normal spoon) to cut it into smaller pieces.
- Mango ice
I always like mango related products (ice cream, desserts, the real fruit itself, pudding, etc). I would rate this drink as average. Next time, i suppose i will try something that is less common/safe :)
- My friends had Mee sua with fish & egg
The noodles is nicely flavoured, worth a try.
Pricing wise, i find it affordable. The place is kind of big but not too noisy, and the seats are pretty comfortable. It is worth visiting again..
There is always a better way to phrase itFor ladies who went shopping for clothes, it is not uncommon if you get reminders from the salespersons about taking note of your makeup, particularly lipstick, in case it stains the clothes you are trying on. Sometimes they do not even allow you to try on white colored pieces.
I saw the following in a changing room:
Don't Let Our Merchandise Ruin Your Make-Up
2 statements may mean the same but the tone and choice of words make a big difference.
11/12/2006 黄品源 - 那么爱你为什么**
离开你 是傻是对是错
是看破 是软弱 这结果 是爱是恨 或者是什么 如果是种解脱 怎么会还有眷恋在我心窝 那么爱你 为什么 (OS:莫文蔚) 从女性观点让我明白地说 无论你是挖心掏肺 呼天抢地或是热情如火 不只白白惹人讨厌让人嫌你罗唆 恨不得没跟你认识过 你讲也讲不听 听又听不懂 懂也不会做 你做又做不好 哼!你现在唱个这样的歌 你到底是想对我说什么? **
The start of this song caught my attention cos it reminds me of korean soundtracks. However if my findings are correct, this song is as old as 1990s!
蔡健雅 - 路口** 走不出的 路口 一个人 一瞬间 淹没在 人群中 寂寞的 路口 一个人 一转眼 走进了 回忆漩涡 在争吵的时候 也能从你 最轻柔的手 进入梦中 **
Like this song the first time i heard it on tv...
范逸臣/范扬逸 - 爱了就是**
微风里
飘着我们都清清楚楚的讯息 闻得到抓得到的那句我爱你 你懂我缺少天份创造气氛 所以只要我抱紧 就是你 你从不问我为什麽就是爱你 只从我看你的温度里找证据 当世界都在胡扯甜言蜜语 我们爱得多安静 爱了就是 不必发誓 从有了你懂了坚持 当你泪流不止 我会替你擦拭 捍卫你笑的样子 不需要装饰 也不需要台词 幸福却写满一张纸 老了那时候 你只要看着我 你就能 复习我们的故事 **
