真相.谎言

当真相被揭开时
谎言就无所遁形

无数次的机会

让你表白

然而

换来一次又一次的掩饰

曾经

纵容是个优点

至终

它却成了罪魁祸首

原来

强迫是你的抉择

信任

随着真相的揭露

瞬间逝去

再没有半点儿遗憾

更没丝毫不捨

是那么冷静

出乎意料的平和

真诚.信任.愚蠢.无知

一笑置之

Defeat vs Win

"It is very easy to defeat someone

but it is very hard to win someone."

John Keats

( 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was one of the principal poets of the English Romantic movement. During his short life, his work received constant critical attacks from the periodicals of the day, but his posthumous influence on poets such as Alfred Tennyson has been immense. Elaborate word choice and sensual imagery characterize Keats's poetry, including a series of odes that were his masterpieces and which remain among the most popular poems in English literature.

Treasure every encounter, for it will never recur

"It is very easy to defeat someone but it is very hard to win someone."

Ferris Wheel

Ferris wheel, guess most of the kids would like to take a ride on it while seeing it in the funfair. My first ride should be in a funfair as well ... but have forgotten when and where was my 1st ride.
A Ferris wheel which is also known as observation wheel or big wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 world's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Nowsaday, there are plenty of Ferris wheels constructed all over the world which are competing in their height.

10 world's tallest Ferris wheels

Singapore Flyer (2008) - 165m
Star of Nanchang (2006) - 160m
London Eye (2000) - 135m * London Eye (approx. 20 mins 17.50 p including a 4D show)
Suzhou Ferris Wheel (2009) - 120m
The Southern Star (2008) - 120m (Australia)
Changsa Ferris Wheel (2004) - 120m
Zhengzhou Ferris Wheel (2003) - 120m
Sky Dream Fukuoka (2002) - 120m
Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel (2001) -117m (Japan)
Star of Taihu Lake (2008) - 115m

Anyway, the 208 m (682 ft) Beijing Great Wheel 北京朝天轮,under construction since 2007 and originally planned to open in 2008,has been delayed until 2010 will be the tallest Ferris Wheel in the world soon. ( http://www.greatwheel.com/beijing_eng/home_english.htm )

Bee Won

Bee Won 秘苑 is an authentic Korean Traditional Restaurant at the 3rd floor of The Royal Hotel (formerly Dorsett Hotel or even earlier Sheraton Hotel) in Penang. When we were there, there was no other customers. We were seated in a private room, occupied the whole restaurant.
Miss Choi , the director of the restaurant is a very friendly person. She kept recommending and explaining the dishes on the menu to us. According to her, the ingredients they are using are mostly from Korea. And the food is prepared with minimum artificial flavours as well.

Lettuce leaves, korean sambals and chili sauce, green chili and garlic.

Teppanyaki style beef ribs ( this was highly recommended by Miss Choi, infact we were trying to order the other which was boneless ..hehe )

8 types of side dishes

From upper left

spinach with sesame ( taste unique due to the sesame )
fried tapioca with honey
korean pancake
pickled onions
fried anchovies with honey & chili
spicy garlic chives
kimchi
salad ( taste good, thumbs up )

The noodles tasted very nice. The sesame fully brought out the taste of the noodles. ( recommended )

How to eat these side dishes ?

Mix well the noodles with the carrots and cucumbers in the bowl.
Lay out a piece of lettuce leaf on your palm.
Put a small quantity of well mixed noodles, the beef, few slices of green chilies, garlic with sambal and the side dishes on the leaf.
Wrap it up and ready to eat.

Seafood pot in spicy soup. Totally different from tomyam. The soup was naturally sweet. ( The soup was reheated a few times when it turned cool. So, the prawns and mussels or clams were overcooked, the flesh shrank at last which was the only minus for the meal)

* RM139.70 for the whole meal including drinks

Thimble

A thimble is a protective shield worn on the finger or thumb. It is generally used for sewing while pushing a needle through the fabric or leather as it was being sewn. However, they have gained many other uses.

Thimbles are usually made of metal, leather, rubber and wood or even glass or china. Early thimbles were sometimes made of whale bone, horn or ivory. Natural sources were also utilized such as Connemara marble, bog oak (沼泽橡木) , or mother of pearl. Rarer works from thimble makers utilized diamonds, sapphires or rubies.

Started to collect thimbles since UK's trip. Found it to be very unique and symbolic just like stamp collecting. Most of the thimbles that I have now are made of china and metal, few are wood and pewter. I have 34 pieces of thimbles in my glass cabinet, most of them were from my UK's & Europe's trip, the rest were souvenirs from my sister and a friend.
