My friends and I found another great place for food in KL and how did we find it, through blogs once again.  Last week, I have written how blogging helps one to identify the good food in a particular area especially recommended by the locals.

The restaurant that we had found today was originally meant for bringing one of my Swedish friend who was in town because he wanted to have black pepper crab.  Through Kraal, we have managed to find this restaurant called Nong & Jimmy BBQ Restaurant that serves really good food but the only minor setback is that the MSG is a little too much because we had to drink a lot of water after dinner and the day after.

Besides the minor setback, it is really worthwhile for the price you have to pay for the food and I would strongly recommend you to go if you are in KL.  Take the monorail to Hang Tuah and then change to the LRT to Cahaya, the 2nd last stop.

We took the taxi there and it took us about 1 and a half hour but by train, it took only 45 minutes.

It has been more than one year since I had last registered my domain in my name and I have been blogging ever since.  I must admit that I am still very new to this blogging arena and am doing whatever it takes to learn more about blogging and topics that interests my readers.

I have been writing a lot and though there are not as many readers as I want to, I discover that my writing skills has improved along the way.  Like what Jerry Clark says, practice makes improvement.

However, after some time of blogging, I find that I would do myself and my readers a service by surveying what would readers want to read on my blog.  It would be great if you can leave a comment and tell me what is it that you like to see me blogging more about and I will do my best to do it.

Thanks.

My family and I were in our brother’s house for dinner on last Sunday and as usual, we had our regular drinking session opening 2 bottles of new age Australian wine for the 4 to 5 of us that were drinking, which includes my Mum, 2 brothers and sisters in law and myself. We had a bottle of Shiraz where my sister in law bought on her way back from Shanghai and the other from the free wine I always have from Shangri-La.

During our dinner session, we had a discussion to conclude where we are going for vacation during the Singapore holidays season in November and December and my brother and sister in law, who is stationed in Shanghai, may also be joining us on our trip to Japan in November.

As you may know, the cost of living in Japan is pretty expensive and we were all talking about ways and possibilities of how we can utilize the number of days and the budget we have to maximize our stay and enjoyment in Japan.

Isn’t that what most people who are at work or even on shoestring budget think about most of the time when they are planning for vacations?

Like what I mentioned on my previous post, I have really made a conscious decision to become a millionaire so that I do not have to be concerned of saving tens of dollars or getting the useless free gift from a travel fair. I know this may pissed some people off and I don’t mean to but unless one changes the state of mind to become wealthy, we will always be stuck in a poverty consciousness mindset.

We should start changing our mindset to a Prosperity Consciousness mindset and from then on, we can start going to vacations anytime and anywhere without having to worry about the cost.

Would you like to have that too?

I am sure you would because I sure will!

To your dream vacation!

In 6 days’ time, Beijing will be having their opening ceremony of the Olympics 2008 in China.

Almost everybody in China is proud of hosting the Olympics and I must admit that during travel to Beijing this year, the attitude of the local Pekinese is really good and everyone that you greet are so jovial and so polite, unlike Beijing a few years ago.

I still remember that I was in Thailand in 2002 when they announced that Beijing has won the host for 2008 Olympics and you can see the elation of the people that got the news over the news channel. Since then, lots of work has commenced and I heard a commentary previously saying that the Olympics have not started but the design of the construction that China is building for the Olympics could be awarded some great awards and set some world records.

I was departing from the new Beijing Airport Terminal 3 in early July and I am amazed at the sheer size of the airport. The new airport is huge with more than 60 gates and I understand that the old Terminal 1 will be fully dedicated to flights departing for other cities that is co-hosting the Olympics.

The picture shown is what you see upon clearing the immigration and security check, impressive isn’t it?

My brother and sister in law with their family, who are stationed in Shanghai, are back in Singapore for their summer vacation. Before coming to Singapore, my brother called and asked if it is all right for him to bring the Nitendo Wii to Singapore so that his kids can play when they are bored and of course, I said Yes.

I have always been enjoying playing console games until my endeavor into my part time business where I felt that playing games was a waste of time because it will not help me to achieve my goals sooner. Therefore, it has been more than a couple of years that I had actually sat down and enjoy playing games.

When the Nitendo Wii was fixed up on Sunday, I had my first share of playing together with my wife and I felt really relaxed. It was really a nice feeling and ever since then, I decided to set aside about half an hour each weekday to play the Nitendo Wii to relax a little.

Sometimes, you cannot help but to admit that every thing happens for a reason.

I was invited to attend a Success Permission Seminar preview by Dr. Sundardas 2 days ago and Dr. Sundardas was talking about Childhood Programming. One of the questions was “I am often described as a serious person and I have difficulty enjoying life” and my answer to that question was Yes.

The missing permission for this statement was “The Permission To Be A Child” and guess what, I seem to have my real life issues of being too tensed and too serious, having imbalance in my life of focusing too much on work and not relaxing enough that may be causing me not to achieve my goals in life sooner.

Everything in life has to be balanced!

Now that I know what I am missing and with just setting aside half an hour each weekday to play the Nitendo Wii, I know I am heading in the right direction of having a great balance in my life.

What about you? Are you working too much without play or are you playing too much without work? Either one is bad because that means you are not having a balance in your life and when that happens, the one that is overly deprived will one day sabotaged you!

Starting doing something now before it is too late.

All the best!
