Thanks Stanley for helping me to get this vodka. Labels: Absolut Vodka Wallace view his life at 1:14 am Monday, January 14, 2008 Birthday 2008 I'm back from the stay at Scarlet Hotel. Before heading to the hotel, meet Denise for Mac breakfast at VivoCity. After our breakfast we went to collect my birthday cake at Awfully Chocolate. Their store will have this small corner with a few seats and tables for patron to sit down and enjoy their ice-cream. Left VivoCity after our collection. Here we are, after a short walk from Outram MRT station we reached the hotel. The hotel is a row of shophouses along Erskine Road. Along the walkway of the hotel you can find quite a number of unique shops, but things in there are not selling cheap. Went up to the counter to check-in (check-in:2pm, check-out: 12pm), the process din took long. After the payment made, the staff lead us to our room. We were given room 107, which is not too far away from the main lobby. There is this very unique leather container mounted to the door. I guess it is for them to drop newspapers, but the next day I dun see any newspaper there. Haha... I'm quite happy with the size of their standard room. The warm lighting of the room make it very cozy (bad for photo taking). Open up the wardrobe, you can find a few surprises. Beside the normal things like safe, hangers, slippers, etc. there are umbrella, emergency touch light, paper bag, recycle bag and shoe polish. I find these are quite unique. It would be prefect if the bathroom come with bathtub, other than that most things are provided. There is no swimming pool, I think these old shophouses cannot take the load of a swimming pool. Nevertheless, they got a jacuzzi that provides water massage. They got this small gym with few machines that allow people to do some workout during their stay. After switching from channel to channel, there is nothing interesting to watch. So took out my camera to get some shot. The above are some of the result. She bought me a polo-tee from Fred Perry which I alway wanted to buy. She insist me to try on and see whether it fit. If it dun fit, must quickly go for an exchange. This is our all time favorite chocolate cake from Awfully Chocolate. Lighted the candles, made a wish, candles blown and cake was cut. Another year older already... Thanks those who send sms or called me to wish me Happy Birthday. Review of the hotel - the ambience was good, the working staff was friendly and stylish in all ways. Labels: Birthday Wallace view his life at 11:18 pm Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum Still remember at Feb 2005, I been there before this temple was built. During then they are raising funds for the temple and now its already done. Origin Of Buddha Tooth Relic Temple In 2002, Ven. Cakkapala decided to hand over the Buddha Tooth Relic (which he had reverently enshrined for 22 years) to Ven. Shi Fashao to be safeguarded. He exhorted the new guardian that, should the opportunity arise, he is to build a monastery for the relic, so that Buddhists from everywhere may gather in Singapore to pay reverence to it. These people, it was hoped, may in this way connet with the Buddha and hence increase in blessings and wisdom. Having been so urged by Ven. Cakkapala, Ven. Shi Fashao resolved to be secluded in a one-year Dharma Loutus Blossom Retreat and conceived during the retreat not only then name "Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum", but also an architectural style based on the Buddhist mandala and integrated with the art culture of Buddhism in the Tang dynasty. Naturally, the classical ethos of the building has to be matched with a site with a long history. Loaded with significance for early Chinese immigrants, and also being the locus of the roots of Chinese culture here, Chinatown became the choice for the building of the new temple. The Temple and Museum display various Buddhas statues from all over the world. There are too many Buddhas statues to be named and many are I don't know of. The whole place is very grand and well finished. The Vairocana Buddha Prayer Wheel is installed inside Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion. It is the largest cloisonne Buddha Prayer Wheel in the world. "Revolving scriptures" originated from "turning the pitaka". "Turning" a Sutra is different from "reading pitaka" which virtually meant reading the Sutras everyday without missing a single word. "Turning pitaka" is just reading a few lines at the start, middle and end portions of the Sutras. Cylindrical in shape, it is a religious artefact commonly used by Chinese Buddhists. The rim is embossed with esoteric Vairocana Mantra. A piece of scripture is placed inside. Every turn of the wheel represents a single recital of the scripture and mantra. The wheel is a convenient way to recite the sutra. The 10,000 Buddhas Wallace view his life at 5:43 pm Friday, January 11, 2008 The Scarlet The Scarlet - A Boutique Hotel...

Labels: Birthday Wallace view his life at 10:29 pm The Golden Path Recently have been following MediaCorp's 30 episode blockbuster drama serial - The Golden Path (黄金路). It has been quite sometime I have keep up so closely with a MediaCorp drama serial. The main cast for the serial are 李南星、陈莉萍、郑斌辉、陈凤玲、周初明、白薇秀. I feel Chew Chor Meng and Tay Ping Hui play well in their roles. Oh ya not to forget, the opening theme 路 by 迷路兵 is nice too.

Was at a ex-colleague wedding dinner the other day and saw many familiar faces. I was sitting with this ex-colleague and I told her nowadays I keep attending friend's wedding dinner. She reply that was normal and she continue saying at difference stages friends will ask you to attend their: 21st year old birthday wedding dinner children 1st year old birthday wake Sound very true, but sad.
