Today is Friday the 13th. It is also the World Kindness Day which was established on 13 November 1998 in Tokyo.
Back in 1997, there were seven countries, including Singapore, came together to sign a declaration for the WORLD KINDNESS MOVEMENT. Its mission is to inspire individuals towards greater kindness. Its aim is to inpsire spontaneous acts of kindness to make life more pleasant for everybody.
It is important to look beyond the boundaries of gender, race and creed. The one common thing that bonds human beings to live together in peace is KINDNESS. So, please be kind to your family, friends and yourself.
Besides World Kindness Day, today is also a variable bonus payout day for my company. Like I had mentioned in my earlier Blog posts, Friday the 13th is a lucky day in my eyes. Today is a special and good day, let us treasure Friday the 13th and be kind to each other.
I went to see the “This Is It” movie on Tuesday night and it was in a way to pay tribute to the late Michael Jackson who passed away on 25 June 2009.
“This Is It” movie is actually a compilation of rehearsals, interviews and backstage footage of Michael Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold-out shows in London. But too bad, he passed away suddenly just a few days before the concert would take place.
Michael Jackson was full of energy and flushed with enthusiasm throughout the rehearsals. Although he was thin, Michael Jackson looked fit and healthy whether or not he was on or off stage. It’s definitely hard to imagine such a healthy-looking person would die suddenly. Life is really unpredictable!
You can tell that Michael Jackson was very professional and serious about his performance. He knew his songs and dance steps very well. He also got himself involved in a lot of things such as telling the music director when to slow down with his music, telling the electric guitarist when to shine her skill, telling his co-singer when to look towards the audience and so on.
Michael Jackson was a perfectionist and he was in control of the rehearsals to make sure that everybody know what they were supposed to do in order to make the concert a success. However, Michael Jackson never knew that this was a tour he never got to begin.
After seeing the movie, I must say Michael Jackson was a real superstar, a talented artiste and a borned performer. He was the real King of POP of our time.
I often feel that Michael Jackson had a kind look in his face and I believe he was a kind-hearted person in real life despite all those negative news that were against him during his prime. Anyway, everything is history. This Is It.
Crab season is here again. You can see advertisements everywhere promoting crab feast. It’s time to go for the yummy crab buffet. Hurray!
Just like last year, my family and I had made a booking at the Ellenborough Market Cafe of Swissotel Merchant Court hotel a few days ago. We opted for the lunch buffet last year. However, Ellenborough Market Cafe is offering dinner buffet only this time around.
We arrived at the Swissotel Merchant Court hotel 15 minutes before the crab buffet started at 6:30pm yesterday and the cafe was already packed with diners.
Crab Buffet :
The spread of food is just like last year and it includes Chilli Crab, Indian Curry Crab, Tom Yam Crab, Sri Lankan Black Pepper Crab, Nonya Crab Popiah, Abalone Porridge, Shark Fin Soup, Soya Sauce Crayfish, Flower Crab and so on. It also includes the yummy yummy Durian Pengat.
Besides enjoying the good food, it makes us even happier is that HSBC credit card holder is entitled to enjoy the offer of “one dines for free with every three paying adult diners”. So nice 🙂

I happened to find a video clip featuring some special effect done on the screen of a laptop. It looks cool and I was wondering how the creator of the video clip had made it.
After searching the web for information, I came to know that this kind of cool stuff is called green screen effect. It is a type of chroma key which is a technique used in video, film and still photography. The purpose is to replace a portion of an image with a new image such as a coloured background with a different setting.
I think the creator of the video clip has brilliantly utilised the green screen effect to bring out the attention-grabbing and cool laptop effect to his/her audiences. I’m sure you will be amazed by this person’s creativity.
I just came across some very inspiring and motivating quotes created by Pravs J. Although I don’t know whom Pravs J. is or what this person does as a living, I’m touched by the 7 meaningful quotes written by him/her.
I find that the inspiring and motivating quotes were created with words of wisdom. The lines are full of philosophy. Here is an example :
When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free.
When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have the time.
When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come.
~ Pravs J.
Does it sound familiar to you in our daily life? Do you have friends or family who often tell you that they are busy and have no time for you? Do you put things off till tomorrow when you can actually finish it by today?
If yes, you are in fact hearing all kinds of excuses from the people around you and this is the thing that the quote is trying to tell you. So, why do you want to be a procrastinator? Hmm…..Things to ponder.
