I wonder..
Sometimes I really wonder why we are always bothered by work... Worried about what we need to do and the problems we need to face... Sometimes it gets so overwhelming that it affects our sleep and wellbeing. It's like when u think back if any of those worries in the past made any difference to your life or made your life any better, the answer would probably be no. So why do we still bother? Really baffles me sometimes.
Annoying works!!
Bro just went to Geneva with the boss again... not that he is always in Geneva, but he always goes overseas and sleeps overnight with the boss... separately of course..
This time round, he even went to Old Trafford to catch Man U in action.. eugh.. jealous...
Of course I couldn't miss an opportunity to ask for souvenirs...and as expected, 90% of such requests are normally ignored or purposefully forgotten. This time was no different.. especially when I asked for some LV and Chanel bags. After all, bags are cheaper in Europe right. And being me, it's impossible to stop at one, so the moment he said cannot, I had to ask for a jersey, expecting that he would again say no...well, we can ask all we want right? that's a given. And who buys souvenirs nowadays?But what shocked me was not his response to the jersey... but more of the next message via watsapp.
"You don't have this right??"
"Waaaa really?"
"Ya dun haf"
"Yaay!!"
My half victory half sheepish response came out that way. Well, after all, that bro is a nice guy... so sometimes, nice guys deserve nice treatment and it works both ways!! (thick skinned)... hehe ...so I'm gonna accept it graciously... (although I kinda find it hard to find a reason as to why I deserve it)...
Oh well... take first think later.... heh...totally buey pai sei.. ;)... but hmm.. I still have gotten it from him yet... errr...
Dark clouds
Think I've posted this before, but sometimes when the cloud is above you, nothing, just nothing, goes right... Hais..
Age of Adaline
Can't believe I actually watched this in the movies... it is one of those incredulous movies, which sets u thinking what if, not in relation to the movie, but more of what if it happened to you.

If you can't grow old at all, what would you then do with your life? And at the end of the movie, adaline is dem happy to see a white hair... something most of us would dread. With all the hardship and difficulties in life, maybe it's not such a good thing to live forever.
This also reminds me of another movie, which the family had the ability to go back and forth in time, by entering a dark space or a cupboard. So you can go back and switch things you'd have regretted doing. But given the opportunity, would you? It might not make a difference, or it might be just too cumbersome after a while, to go back and change everything, everytime something goes wrong.

Naruto Shippuuden..
Couldn't wait any longer. The anime is taking way too long with fillers to continue the story. Finished up the final part of naruto shippuuden by manga.
I read it here, if you need a link to the manga: http://www.mangahit.com/manga/naruto
Luang Prabang - Laos
Haven't been posting in a while, so I thought I'd post some pictures of the last place we went to. We had recently seen a lot of korean variety shows and one of them is 'Youth over flowers'. Baro, Ho Joon and Yeon Seok went there and had so much of a good time, that made us end up there as well.
The place is kinda simple, and I have been telling everyone that this is a place that's suitable for family outings, especially when you're lazy like me, and like cheap stuff like me.
The place full of temples and monks seen walking the streets of the city area. And booking a hotel in the city area is kinda like a good choice. We wake up, we walk to a temple just a few steps away from the hotel, and we sight see, then we walk back to the hotel, rest a while, and the walk a few steps to get to a popular eating place. Heck, I walk more at home then when I was in Luang Prabang.
We had planned on one of the days there to climb Phou Si Hill, and watch the sunset from there. On one occasion, we got to the top, only to wait hours and find out that there was not going to be any sunset that day. But do use the alternate access downhill when you exit. The buddha statues there are wonderful!! Particularly like the details of the naga leading down the steps. (oops, I'm not suppose to like those right?)
On one of the half days we spent there, we flagged a tuk tuk that brought us to Kuang Si waterfall. There were bears in the entrance to the waterfalls, at a place they called Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Centre. They (the bears) really looked comfortable especially one who seemed to be permanently stationed in the hammock.
At the Kuang Si waterfalls itself, we kinda
expected that the entire place would be filled with swimmers and young chaps jumping into the pools of water, like what was in the variety show. But I guess we made it there too early, and had the pool all to ourselves. You could jump into one of these pools and just swim there if you wanted to.
Then comes dinner, where we had by god, the best steamboat barbecue meat we have ever had!! I mean seriously no kidding. We have a shop in Singapore selling this for 5 times the price, and it tastes five times less good. SGD10 covers dinner for 2 pax!!
And of course, its a must to see the alms ceremony. We got up at 5.00am in the morning, started preparing and then got out to see them, directly next to our hotel entrance!! We wanted to buy something, sit down and then wait, but instead ended up walking from one side of the street to the other to see which direction and how far they went.
You wouldn't be able to survive with just Laotian food the whole time. But nothing to fear, they have quite a number of different types of cuisine, from french to english to thai food. We had latte and chocolate coated pancakes at a french baguette restaurant which was again just steps away from our hotel. God, I love this place.
And if you're bored enough, you could always take a walk past a bridge along the Mekong river and have drinks at the ''cafe'' at the other side.
The nightlife on the other hand is mainly on night markets. They sell almost anything and everything, from handcrafted pouches to t-shirts to tea bag pouches to etc. etc.
And last but not least, we took a 1.5 hours boat ride to see the Pak Ou caves, with lots of Buddha statues all over and 2 levels to visit. The cave itself is relatively simple, and we thought there'd be scriptures or art carved on the cave walls, but to our dismay there weren't any. The boat ride was ok though, at least for the starting bit.
Oh well, we didn't spend much during this trip, but seriously speaking, it's value for money. Can't say that this will be the case a few years later, when the place becomes more developed.
We ended the trip thinking that this is probably one place that we would visit again. Simple, relaxing and nice. Not as nice as the guys portrayed in ''youth over flowers'', but nice enough. :)

Look carefully and you can see little birds inside. It's meant to be set free, not kept as pets. 
The thing I remember most!!! Coconut pancakes!!

Trust and believe
Most of the time, we mistake our beliefs with trust... and only when something happens, our beliefs crumble and what we though was trust for a person, ends up only being beliefs that we fail to hold on to. So before u claim u trust someone, think first what u'd do if something happens to that person. Would u then still trust that person to be who they are? Or crumble when something happens?
