What should we be thankful for?

The seemingly unsurmountable obstacles in life?
The curve ball life hands to us sometimes?
The many trials and tribulations in life?
The many blessings and joys of being alive?

Should we be grateful for the lessons that we were meant to learnt
The life changing choices we were meant to make
The loving people that came to our aide
And the revelations that come upon us

Close to 40 years of living
Have you sometimes felt empty in the midst of your merriment
Trying too hard to have a happy time all the time
The cycles of frivolous activities and enjoyment that exposes the emptiness within

Stay calm be still and listen
Listen to voice within whispering to you
The spirit the divine creator gave us
Follow it for the fulfillment of your heart and soul

Because whatever you do, whether in word or deed,
do it all in the name of Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him Collosians 3:17
For it by grace you have been saved, through faith
– and this is not from yourself, it is a gift of God Ephesians 2:8

Be thankful you are alive today
Be thankful for loving family and friends
Be thankful for all the sacrifices, encouragements, compassion you have received
Be thankful for the Lord our savior, to Jesus who is same yesterday, today and forever

I give thanks with a grateful heart to all

Nam Heong Ipoh @ My Town, Cheras

If you have been a “foodie tourist” in Ipoh, Nam Heong would have been a perennial stop-over on your tour list. The rag tag team plus the cow boy team from outstation were already hooked on their food after our own “foodie tour” of Ipoh, and we were happy to find that Nam Heong had opened a branch in our hood. But as with all franchises, does the food match the lofty standards of THE original Nam Heong, Ipoh? Lets have a look. In terms of ambience, it is pretty good, a definite winner over the original Nam Heong. But here you have to do your own ordering using an ipad available at each table. This took some getting use to and would cause problems for those who are less technology savvy. Though the normal menus were still available on the table.   We ordered all the signature dishes. First-up came the signature chicken hor fun. In terms of taste yes ! it matches the original Nam Heong Ipoh. But what sets this hor fun apart from the rest is the reddish oil made ...

Char Siew Yoong @ Cheras

One of hubster’s favourite joints, and finally I get to have a try at it! Restaurant Char Siew Yoong is one of those places that are really off the beaten track, its closest landmark would probably be behind PGRM building in Cheras. It is famous for its char siew (bbq pork) and siew yoke (roasted pork belly). Char Siew Yoong is like your typical kopitiam – noisy and crowded, you need to overlook that for the great food that is about to follow.    The queue for take-away We ordered the char siew and siew yoke rice with a soup and vegetable on the side. The char siew was marinated to perfection, probably one of the best char siew I have eaten in KL. The best part of it is the char siew meat, with just enough fat sandwiched between the lean to make it juicy and it really brings out the flavourful taste. No wonder this restaurant’s name is “Char Siew Yoong” this is their ultimate number 1 dish. The siew yoke for me was just as nice, though hubster is a loyal fan of ...

Best café in Seremban uptown

The verdict is out. The best café in Seremban uptown S2 according to these carefully selected criterias: 1.      Connectivity of wifi (it has to be free and unlimited) 2.     Food and drinks 3.     Ambience 4.       Price and Freebies (because we are Malaysians!) 5.       Service Whale Time Café   Wifi was good, free and unlimited. Food was however only average, even a bit below average. However, they have a wide selection of gourmet teas to choose from. Ambience was good and quiet, with the color scheme of the whole place being relaxing and welcoming. Prices were slightly higher than the others around though. Service was good with free refill of hot water for your tea even before being asked. There have some sort of system to collect stamps for discounts.  Coffeeholic Its nearby rival Coffeeholic scores high too in terms of wifi connectivity, free a...
