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.

kuanth X Zouk X dr.Martens

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。
