Always go back to the purpose, objective or goal

It's easy to get carried away with discussions and ideas generated.. And loose track of the main purpose of the project or task on hand. Whenever, the discussion seemed to drag or lost its focus, i would always raise the question on what is the purpose of doing this in the first place! And nine out of ten times it works! And people will re-align back.. The tenth that didnt work usually meant the people you are teaming with really are problematic!! Or.. perhaps the purpose really needs re-examination! ;P

Every breath you take - Police

A very old but timeless song that I used to and still like..

Every breath you take - Police

Lyrics:

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see you belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night
I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please

Oh can't you see you belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take, I'll be watching you, I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take, I'll be watching you

Santa Claus is a Cantonese

Did u know Santa Claus is a Cantonese man?
Coz whenever a child asks Santa
if it would be good to have this or that toy,
he would say "Ho Ho Ho.."
which in Cantonese means "good good good!" ;P

The Only Regrettable Thing - wisdom sharing

Some have few regrets.
Because they have not reflected enough, which is regrettable.

Some have few regrets.
Because they are resolved as they arise, such that nothing regrettable persists.

Some have few regrets.
Because they do nothing to resolve them, while they grow in more regrettable ways.

Why regret if you do something about it? Why regret if you cannot do anything about it?
The only thing truly regrettable is not realizing this.

.. If that is inappropriate, dissolve them still - because that would be only appropriate thing left to do. - Stonepeace

My Top iPhone/iPad app for 2010

My Top iPhone/iPad app for 2010 in no importance sequence:

1. Dropbox. Having a few devices e.g. iPhone, iPad, macbook,... it's simply wonderful to have dropbox around to auto-sync files.

2. DocsToGo. Use DocsToGo with Dropbox and you can kick off your small business anytime anywhere!

3. Flipboard. Viewing facebook & twitter feeds will never be boring anymore with Flipboard presenting to you in magazine style. Like people used to say - pictures speak a thousand words.

4. Instapaper. I love to read. Instapaper allows me to read it offline whenever i want anytime.. so it's just fantastic for me!

5. Maps. While it doesnt have voice-guided feature, i still find it extremely useful.. i cant imagine getting around without it these days..

6. Notes. One of the most used app on my iPhone.. It's my knowledge repository. And especially my cooking recipes! ; )

7. iCam. Home security reached a new high (i.e. iPhone/iPad notification feature), simple & affordable level!

8. Pro HDR. Picture has never been so clear & well-lighted ..

9. Cut the Rope. Great leisure game!

10. Angry Birds. U dont get angry with this game.. coz the birds & chicks are so cute.. though death is cruel.. ;P

11. Dictionary. With pronunciation & thesaurus features, what more can i ask? maybe more examples of how the words are used? ;P

Angela Aki - Tegami (inspirational song)


English Translation:
Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?

For me who's 15 years old
There are seeds of worries I can't tell anyone

If it's a letter addressed to my future self,
Surely I can confide truly to myself

Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You'll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt
But I'm living the bittersweet present

There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?

Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice

No matter era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness
***********************************************
Romaji Lyrics

Haikei kono tegami yondeiru anata wa
Doko de nani wo shiteiru no darou

Juugo no boku ni wa dare ni mo hanasenai
Nayami no kanae ga aru no desu

Mirai no jibun ni atete kaku tegami nara
Kitto sunao ni uchiake rareru darou

Ima makesou de nakisou de
Kieteshimaisou na boku wa
Dare no kotoba wo
Shinji arukeba ii no?
Hitotsu shika nai kono mune ga nando mo barabara ni warete
Kurushii naka de ima wo ikiteiru
Ima wo ikiteiru

Haikei arigatou juugo no anata ni
Tsutaetai koto ga aru no desu
Jibun to wa nani de doko e mukau beki ka
Toitsu dzukereeba mietekuru

Areta seishun no umi wa kibishii keredo
Asu no kishibe e to yume no fune yo susume

Ima makenai de nakanai de
Kieteshimaisou na toki wa
Jibun no koe wo shinjiaru keba ii no?
Otona no boku mo kizutsuite
Nemurenai yoru wa aru kedo
Nigakute amai ima ikiteiru

Jinsei no subete ni imi ga aru kara
Osorezu ni anata no yume wo sodatete
La la la, la la la
Keep on believing
La la la, la la la,
Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing

Makesou de nakisou de
Kieteshimaisou boku wa
Dare no kotoba wo shinji arukeba ii no?
Aa Makenaii de nakanai de
Kieteshimaisou na toki wa
Jibun no koe wo shinjiarukeba ii no
Itsu no jidai mo kanashimi mo
Sakete wa torenai keredo
Egao wo misete ima wo ikite yukou
Ima wo ikite yukou

Haikei kono tegami yondeiru anata ga
Shiawase na koto wo negaimasu

..............

Such a beautiful song.... It brought tears the first time that I heard it.

Ants and Cinnamon



Ants don't like anything spicy, so cinnamon, black pepper, chili powder or Cayenne Pepper will do the trick. Also they don't like the smell of mint, so if you plant mint around the house the smell will keep them away.
I was told to use used coffee grounds (after you made a pot of coffee) and pour on the mounds. It works for me. I have never had to go buy anything else. The ants eventually move to a new spot. I just pour more coffee grounds on the new spot. But it does work.
... See More

The nice thing about all of these solutions is that they are earth friendly so you won't be spraying pesticides everywhere. Also the grass will LOVE your coffee grounds. The acidity in them makes for good natural fertilizer.
