Attitude Problem?

Just now, I went Bugis and bought a working pant. On my way home, I took a bus 147 back to my house. Two 147 bus service arrived at the same time. The first bus (in front) stopped in front of the bus stop but a few seconds later, another bus came and I decided to move to the rear, the 2nd bus instead of the 1st since there are so much seats for me to sit on.

I approached the 2nd bus and waive at the bus driver, like 3 seconds then he open the shutter. I went in and just before I tap my ez-link card, the bus driver starred and yelled at me and complained (i am the first to depart)...

"You people are not considerate us bus driver, in front got bus you don't sit and come over and sit this bus. We are rushing (time)!"

The above sentence was translated in chinese-english based on the bus driver dialogue.

Just WTF did he just mentioned? NOT CONSIDERATE? Tell me, how unconsidereate are we? We are just passengers and is that a proper way to talk to us like that? I don't understand. It's just a bus service and the F***ing driver yelled at me like that. Some more the lady behind me replied him, "Thank you, thank you". That lady also have no idea why he yelled? A few passengers also followed me onto the bus.

IN FRONT GOT BUS doesn't mean that I have to depart since I noticed that this (2nd bus) bus is not as packed as the first. What is his problem? Over-constrained of rushing home meeting his wife? Or so Kan Chiong Tao Toi (Rebirth). In hokkien - 扁去投胎? If this incident is publish in the local papers, I bet (I BET) lots of people are going to complain to SBS Transit .

Is this the real attitude behind some Singaporeans? Perhaps yes, REALISTIC.

Back a few months ago, I packed a normal fried rice +egg at Kovan. This stall's food ... not bad! But again, the worker's attitude! Then she said...

"Wah, eat until so economical. Want to add more?" she said.
"No!" I said.
"Why want to eat til' so economical?" she said.
"This is my breakfast!" I said.
**Just before I turned away, I accidentally saw she told her friend something and laugh! Some more their laughs are sharp! ***

The above sentence was translated in chinese-english based on the aunty's dialogue.

Is that the way you treat a customer like that? If I am a manager of this stall, she's fired with immediate effect! What people likes doesn't mean to fulfill their offerings because we have the right to choose YES or NO! If they keep on insulting or flirting people without any concerns, I think they are more or less the same like cows, not properly educated!

Some facts :
**Earning money or doing business this way really hurt customers / passengers and lure them away to another competitors / stop using your services.

Blood Types

Hey, here are some interesting facts on a human's blood type constrain and if you still have no idea what might have gone wrong to your health after you take the wrong food, you should really look into this. Like I said, don't take food that is too oily and if possible, go Yoga / exercise to circulate your blood vessel.

Introduced by Peter D'Adamo, the Blood Type Diet is based on the assumption that everyone is an individual. And who are we to argue? Logically, just because we share the same row and column in the BMI chart, it shouldn't define the way our dietary habits are. The Blood Type Diet makes interesting claims that people fare better (which includes weight management) when their diet is tailored to their specific blood type. Here are the intakes!



Type A

Individuals who fall under the Type A blood group should basically stick to fruits and vegetable. Their blood types is generally thicker than other blood types, and possess a sensitive immune system. These individuals should not consume (or should reduce intake) dairy products, animal fats and meats. They are also at a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.



Type B

Type B blood groupers should consumer a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy and meat. However, they should try to refrain from chicken, and increase intake of red meat such as duck and beef. Unlike the other blood types, Type B individuals have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming everyday types of diseases, as well as heart disease and cancer.


Type AB

For Type AB individuals, intake of a mostly vegetarian diet is recommended. And only on rare occasions should they indulge in some fish, meat (not chicken) and dairy.


Type O

Those that fall under the Type O blood type should basically stick to a high protein diet, low carbs, as well as a balanced intake of fruits and vegetables. However, food foes for Type Os include most grain food such as corn and wheat germ. They should also try to avoid dairy products. Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid (leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater resistance to blood clotting.

What makes a chain mail or hoax so real?

I belive that most of you out there are unaware of hoaxes or chain mails circularing around the globe. I am really annoyed with such case happening around my friends. A chain mail that exist during my college-time in 2002 still circulating like a wheels; merry-go-round until today.

Some word to share with...

"Humans are greedy, indeed they want more. Temptation of evil never to be forgiven but until you realise certain things that you've done, it's already too late. You buy tokens and credits to heaven but that doesn't mean heaven accept your offer. Devils love to retract human and present lies or anger on us. We simply can't resist wonderful lies in front of us!"

Well well, Exploring Hong Kong again eh? What's so fun about it since it's been over like 3 weeks ago? But my brain is still on holiday mood and you never wanna go back to work after the leave. Surprisingly, days goes by like that and it's September 12. Yerterday was September 11 and forget about 911 attacks. It's OVER! The revolution of new terror plot lies beyond and more conspiracy coming their way!

More Terror Plot! Liquid attacks? Hairpin attacks? Spectacles attacks? Tooth attack? Watch Attack? Dxxx Attack? Whatever plot it was, it's "Deadly"! Why don't they suggest on all Passengers NAKED body on-board? And each passengers are given 1 room on the new plane design and no passengers are allowed to go anywhere cuz' they have toilets inside the room, beverages, games everything? Nice suggestion eh?

Okay enough for the Sept11. Now let's get back to Sept 12.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

A nice weather at glance and windy but turned out abnormal in the afternoon! I went Dai Yu San (大屿山), a place where Living Buddha (天坛大佛) was held together with it's Sāriputta (in thai language) or 舍利子. Come on, let's check it out!

The skyrail is unofficially serviced and we took a bus up d hill. Around 45 mins.

Now you can see this living Buddha. Inside the buddha, there's this Sāriputta and quite a number of souls resting in peace here, including Anita Mui. It's not good to take photo of the dead inside so.. be it.

I just love this picture. Innocent Children under Kingdom of Heaven (in Buddhism) or likewise, the Living Buddha and the sky is in great position. Like it?

The overall view of Dai Yu San. On the left you'll see the Skyrail!

Then my friend go Pai Pai (拜拜) while I take pictures. This couple is just too perfect to be my magazine's promoter. A watch Advertisement or Tourism Guide. lol.

Mmmmmmm...? Y sibut so khiao?

Then we went another part.

To get these dim sum. Nice and sweet. It's FREE thou because we went Dai Yu San is the first month of the lunar calander and we do pay for the entrance!! lol!
We have some Ou Kok, Popiah, and Mesh Sweet Potato Cubes.

I noticed HongKian Loves Mangoes. I'll show you on my next post!
Here's the mango pudding, chia yian and green bean pudding.

Cha Siew Pao, Mua Ji, Yam, Red Bean flavoured kuih-muih

Then we went here to have a visit. Wahkao, you really cannot stand bunch of uncle aunty selling jostick when you're up the MTR! Come Come Come. Cheap Cheap Cheap. 彩你都傻!

Ah~ My fren went in to have an overall fortune telling.
HKD$25 for a brief discussion.

Nearby, there is this Mehk Mehhk "Artifacts". Chinese have this beliefs that goat is neutral to evils.

Wong Tai Sin Temple!

This structure is unique

Wheet Wheel~

After they Pai Pai (拜拜), then we bypass this @ MTR. Cute eh?

Oh that day, after the post Madame Tusauds, we proceed to Victoria Peak Night View. Glittering like heaven eh? Hong Kong is truely beautiful with night scenes, thanks to their lighting!

Another view.

Venue of stars

The weather doesn't seemed right @ all.

I went this auditorium to avoid showers. Ah, another revolution of Jesus Christ Design? How ewl. >.<"

Outside the Clock Tower. This clock was a significant structure under British Ruling Hong Kong period.

Took this while I am on the Duck Boat. Why everytime come Hong Kong so dark 1? Nearly reached Typhoon Signal #No3 that time! U know why? Because Hong Kong is located at the heart of the World and need I say, nearby mountains. That's why you'd see heavy clouds everytime.

Hong Kong Exhibition Centre

It's thrilling ride!

Here is the traditional Hong Kong Duck Sail you've seen on TV!

Actually, you need to have coupons by tourism board to get this ride. We just rushed in and to this harbour Queensway Harbour port and into the boat. LOL. The captain asked for the ticket and we shook our head! LOL! Remember, if anything happens to you, they won't bother unless you have the ticket. haiz... so mafan!

Central Hong Kong

AIA Building and HKSB @ the back there!

Yieks

The look of a duck boat

ATAR! Lee xiao long. Bruce Lee is the name! Nice backgroun! ;)


THE beancurd REALLY SMELLS! Look @ my face expression!!!! Chao Taufu! I ate half and throw away. Not as smelly as I thought but it's not perfect without sweet soya sauce instead, I dipped only Chilli. HKD$6 per pcs. TAIWAN chao taufu are more smelly than this. Let's impress the smell, it's like longkaw (pit) smell + dustbin smell + dog eaten rice. Imagine it!


Till then~ awaiting another post. tata.

UFO @ Nanking

Oh yeah, another evidence of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Now it appears above the sky of residence area in Nanking, China. This time is clearly shown that it travels in the speed of light at 0.0001 sec before it vanish in front of your eyesight. That means there is far more advance technology and living things outside our world. They just want to do another human being's environment inspection / survey or what? LOL!

Prepare to take off (with the lights on).


Swoosh in the speed of light!


Here is the video! The lady keep on asking.. What is this? Is this UFO? all in the China Essense. -- 这是"拾"么东"使"阿? lol!


Some facts and logic here, is this another human test on their new technology or another spying mission or yet, a science survey or it really means Alien from MARS? Sigh. I've always keen of these exploration (esp outer space, science fiction etc.) and the answers are beyond our knowledge. Perahaps one day, I can dealt with the Alien myself? LOL!!
