Don't Give Up on Yourself


It's been a tough time for many people of late. For many, the economic uncertainty have had a toll on their Christmas spirit. For others, the sheer weight of expectation whether at work or at home is proving unbearable.

As I pondered on a conversation I had last night, my mind somehow settled on an image of tire tracks in the muddy ground, not unlike the image above. A good life my dear friend is not about the absence of adversity. Adversity or tough times is sometimes needed as traction to prevent us from slipping backwards and moving forward with purpose. It is the leverage by which we challenge ourselves to be what we never expected ourselves to be.

You are more than a conqueror when your conquest is yourself. Keep it up, I know you can do it.

Genji Japanese Restaurant - PJ Hilton

Admittedly I must be the worst food blogger in town on the account of the photo below... lame as it may sound, the thought of snapping a shot only occurred to me at tail end of the meal :)



Genji is not new in town, but this was the first time we ordered totally off the menu, seeing as it was our 10th minus 1 anniversary. It was worth every penny I lost and every ounce I put on. To be honest, I cannot even name the dishes... was concentrating on the fresh Sashimi, so if you are looking for a really good review, I am only as good as my next fragrant burp... er... BURP!

Alternative Energy

As I study up on renewable and alternative energy, the realization slowly creeps up that what we can do may not be enough. The earth as a systematic equilibrium is spinning out of balance and what we can and still must do, may just prolong the inevitable. Change as they say is inevitable and part of our lives but I dread to think what future we are creating for our offspring.


the ozone hole

In Malaysia, not only are we dependent on carbon fuels, the fact is, we do not have a serious strategy to diversify our power. To us, the haze is Indonesia's fault and alternative energy is an Energizer battery...
