Law of the nature

Seemed like when everything is in order, suddenly this and that starts getting more problematic
I'm reffering to many unlikely events that had happened in these past few days
really enlightening
but there's a balance, from what i've found
bad things and good things equally takes place
in the end= even events

i was applying for a visa
and at the same time some funds
both were problematic
i'm not going to disclose here until it's finalised..
so just let it be first at the moment

but i managed to try new things too=)
and it seemed to progress pretty positive at the moment
this would cancel out the negative effects of the week
i'm hesitating, but i guess this is the right way
i can't do much for the rest
i hope for that but it doesn't happen
should i?

feel so lethargic with all the uneventful events

weird as it may seemed
but it's just so.. unlikely right? anyway, don't want to think about it!
murphy's law, once again..
is just so true at times..

people say things happen for a reason, i don't doubt it because i still believe it strongly

happy Chinese New Year!!!! (in case i don't blog for the next one week)
Gong xi fatt cai!! Best wishes for the year, stay healthy, happy, prosperous and in good luck always!

Tzu Chi Love Charity Fair 2011

heya~

It's 2011 and Tzu Chi is organising a charity fair for 15.1.2011 and 16.1.2011!
The venue is located just right next to Pasir Ris MRT and I'm sure you'd be able to see it when you turn right from the MRT ticket check-out counter.
What I want to say is, I'm seriously impressed with this!

All the stalls (bout 50 stalls!) were sponsored, tables and chairs, whatever you find there, all were fully sponsored! You can find a variety of food (all vegetarian!) from sushi, chicken rice, rojak, lontong, to pastries and ice creams). I would say, many of those were really yummy~

They promoted  vegetarian food as less meat consumption could significantly harm the earth less. So, eating vegetarian is not only healthy, prevent animal cruelty but also being able to contribute positively to the environment! They have pledges around too, and I'm pledging 5-meals of vegetarian a week. In fact, I've been trying to pledge on this lately (bout one month plus ago, hehe) but I'm just trying my very best at the moment)

What amazed me more is with super high technology, those recyclable PET plastic bottles (those drinking water bottles that we buy now and then) were all fully utilised by the Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan to save the environment, by turning them into clothes! Can't believe it? Check this out!

Green colour comes from green 7-ups PET bottles

 

coffee colour from coffee

All from:

left (bottle) to right (thread!)

All these products were made from Taiwan's dumps by Tzu Chi volunteers (@ Taiwan based) through the following love and hard work: From those PET bottles that we recklessly dumped into recycle bins without proper cleaning:

1. caps removed 
2. ring removed (ring of the water bottles, which consists of different material/ colour) 
3. labels removed
4. washed properly (many people who have the 'heart' to recycle never wash their bottles prior to dumping those into recycle bins!)
5. sent for recycling

So, the message here is: Please clean your PET bottles before recycling! It saves much of their hardwork in doing these!
 Thank you!!

They also introduced the production of eco-enzymes.
In fact, my mom has been practicing this at home for more than half year and the product can be so multipurpose- from dish washing, floor cleaning, clothes washing, to skin treatment!!
My mom’s friends are also promoting this awareness among housewives to prepare these and dump it into rivers with high pollution.
Can suddenly feel that the love for the earth has increased tremendously eh?? :D

Well, if you’re wondering how to produce eco-enzymes:
This is it:
(very simple)

1. Stock up brown sugar
2. Throw any leftover food in the bottles (any fruits skin, vegetables leaves, etc, usually vegetables and fruits but not meat)
3.  Remember to have sufficient brown sugar to be utilised by the fermenting bacteria to produce eco enzymes
4. After 2 months, yay, you can use these!! They're odourless, non-sticky and trust me, really useful in anything =) 

It's so much better than using detergent which is harmful to our skin, and polluting to the environment too!

So long~

Hapy nEw YeAr!! A new year, new beginning,,

Happy new year 2011!!!

This is a year where most of us of my age will flashbacks our 1/4 century days,and either feel very emo, or emo about it..okay, not forgetting those that would be glad too- for those that had accomplished one of many life missions :)

I'm sure many would be emo, especially those in singledom
I didn't mean to start this note with an emo note, but I want to say here is, to you all out there who felt the same like me: Don't give up!

This is a year we all should be:

1. Make realistic resolutions
2. Be more courageous, time to do what we should, feel what we should, try what we hadn't, set a new path/ direction in life
3. No more lagging or losing motivations because this is an age where we're considered good enough for most things!
4. Those single ones, time to think seriously, get into relationships, grab chances, find the right person!
5. Those attached ones, start thinking: is this the right person? If yes, proceed, if not, better move on. It's always better to break and find someone right rather than keep dragging the sad relationship because couldn't bear to be single
6. More travelling!! Time to look out more! This is one of the age we get to do most of what we want to, though with financial hardships. But we can always travel and spend wisely.. right? Rather than to save save and later, still..save but going nowhere? Imagine an attached life with families, I bet there'll be less reasons to travel more (at least for those with baby kids)
7. Play and work hard!!
8. Instead of waiting, we should be the ones that move forward, regardless in anything.. so keep motivated!
9. Those who want to earn more money? Time for serious investments :)

Wish you guys good luck in everything!!
I hope you guys will give a happy and satisfying answer when you ask yourselves 25 more years later, what have i done in my first 1/2 of life..

Happy new year, once again!! :)
