I need...

Bites Tale : Instead of being angry and feeling like being pushed to the edge... why not take it as a dream that we wished it would come true and laughed it off?

I need shopping therapy!!!

Phuket

Bites Tale : "There is only 1 sin, only 1. And that is Theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness." - The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (I was telling one of my friend about how good this book is.)


There's not much photos on Phuket because we left the camera on the ship. Luckily there's camera phone nowadays...

We didn't visit to alot of places in Phuket... because.... we overslept. :)

We went to only 1 temple then have our lunch at town and do some shopping there before heading back to the ship.



Pic : I can't remember what temple is this called.


Pic : But it has a very nice landscape

We saw alot of people climbing to the top of the temple. So me and my sister went up and found this...



Pic : Offerings from the people

Then, our taxi driver took us to a "Bee Farm" - a so called bee farm... it's only a big office selling bee pollen, honey, royal jelly and other related products, mum bought some bee pollen and was given honey for free. :) Didn't take any pictures there though since nothing special to be taken.

Next stop is this Wang Talang... a very famous jewelry and gift shop. They sell almost everything... diamond, ruby, gold, white gold, handicraft, souvenir and etc.

Pic : The main entrance

Pic : Ground Floor is jewelry section, 1st Floor is souvenirs and handicrafts

Wanna look at what i've bought?


Pic : Most of them are souvenirs for friends

Pic : Dance performance during fun-fair on the ship. Don't you think the dancer look like Jude Law?

A messy entry

Bites Tale : Gosh…. It’s already the 16th day of May 2008...

Life has been really busy nowadays…. Instead of busy with paper works and paper works and more paper works like what my last job is, I am now trying my best to learn everything in my new portfolio… bit by bit and stage by stage… there’s so many things in mind… to plan, to learn and to do… now if only I can have 3 brains, and 6 pairs of hands… then I can segment them.

The weather these few days (or should I say… nights) were crazy. I had a really bad nightmare that made me jump up from my bed at 3.58am on 15th May. I see a very fierce and rough sea… big waves… and water coming into the window… reminded me of the accident in Dec 07… and the heavy rain and strong wind every night is making me worried… and scared… Did you see how high the sea level is last night? I just pray every minute that nothing bad will happen.

I am reading a Chinese book called 35岁前要有的33种能力〉i.e. , it is a really good book… I think all of us… no matter how old you are… should read this… I do hope it will be published in English soon... so that for those who can’t read Chinese can also benefit from reading this…

Though I haven’t finish reading it… but I hope to share with you what I found meaningful…

人才是一种动态的概念,它不是一成不变的,不是永恒的。它需要不断地update,不断地发展,也只有学习力不断地加强,不断地提高,才能保证你的竞争力。如果你的学习力每况愈下,那你很可能从一个人才变成企业乃至社会的包袱。所以,只有学习力才真正可以掌握未来。”

- 取自〈35岁前要有的33种能力〉

…. And that, is only from Chapter 1 of 33

I am now on Chapter 5... hope to finish this soon so that I could lend it to others.

P/S : No lah… Star Cruise Trip didn’t end in Phuket… I still have roughly 2 – 3 entries to go. Come back tomorrow ya!

P.P/S : What do you think of “Watermelon Egg Tarts”? I saw it from a recipe book I bought on Monday. Am a bit itchy hand to try…
