Junior Master Chef

This is such an inspiring show. At the age of 8-12, I don't remember myself knowing how to order a dish in a restaurant; I don't know what the difference between rare, medium well or well done. And all these young ones here are cooking a risotto, stewing a lamb, marinating a wild rabbit, baking a lemon and wildberries tart. And, I believe most of the kids here now, still don't know how to order a dish or cooking a pack of maggie noodle but busy playing games or attending endless of tuition classes most of the time. That's rather sad.

ZOUK X DR. MARTENS COLLABORATION
This October, Singapore’s nightlife Mecca Zouk has tied up exclusively with Dr. Martens to present a unique collection of the latter’s iconic1461 3-Eye shoe specially designed by 20 of the scene’s players,
trailblazers, creatives & thinkers alike in celebration of Zouk’s 20... glorious years of music, dance and culture and Dr. Martens’ #FIRST 1461 3-Eye Shoe Customization in Singapore.

In this union of two world-class lifestyle brands brought together through their mutual love for style, opening minds and pushing boundaries, each personality was given a pair of limited edition Dr.
Martens 1461 3-Eye shoe - with their signature stitching in green instead of the iconic yellow - on which they can express their feelings toward the internationally-renowned club, incorporating the Zouk
identity on their blank canvases with artistic freedom & creative liberation, thereby adding a quaint and personal touch to each design.

The footwear, together with photos shot by acclaimed photographer Ivanho Harlim, will then be exhibited in Zouk, a mini art gallery in itself on 7 October 2011 and will be auctioned off post-event from 8 to 25 October 2011, with all proceeds going to Zouk’s adopted charity for 2011: Make-A-Wish Foundation®.

MOMO

Momo is truly a survivor!
Momo只是被救回來的五只野狗中的其中一只，因為媽媽太弱不夠奶水來餵養它們。
Momo原本只能活到八月頭，因為沒人領養的話就得送去SPCA，通常結果只有一個。
Momo的兄弟姐妹們一早就很幸運地被領養了，只剩下她一個。
Momo摔過一大跤，醫生說內出血，也許救了小命一條，以後還是養不大，還叫我們要有心理准備。
但是Momo堅強地熬過了以上種種，終於被領養了，希望她能繼續當只樂天快樂活潑好動的狗狗。Momo非常聰明，很短的時間就學會了一些commands，而且她不是一只整天亂吠的小狗，只要你一個眼神，她就知道是時候閉嘴了。
p/s:我喜歡把Momo喚作MeiMei,因為我把她當作Noody的妹妹看待，而Noody是DiDi。Noody也許沒有很喜歡她，一大一小常常為了爭奪玩具而鬧翻天，但兄妹倆的互動可精彩了。如果我有自己的家，我一定把MeiMei留在身旁。

桌上的守護神

鎰記

說實在的，每次來鎰記吃的最主要都是吃那種老餐室的獨有氛圍。
食物確實是不錯吃，想想看現在還有那裡在賣蒸的面包？
那特有的軟軟綿綿口感，涂上鮮奶油加央，簡單而滿足。

FRIM

It's such a shame that someone from KL like me have never been to this lovely place that's not very far from my house in KL. FRIM, the name in full would be Forest Research Institute Malaysia. This is the place when you can easily feel yourself as part of the nature, the energy there is so pure you can almost hear your inner self talking to you, or simply feeling all your cells being recharged or revitalized.

When you are in KL next time, forget about Jalan Alor, Mid Valley or Bangsar, head all the way to FRIM to enjoy an easy breezy morning walk!
