Practicality at it's BEST!! VEGETABLE Bouquet

 I recently saw a post on Facebook. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to post it because creative thinking such as this deserves a place on my blog. In the ERA where poverty and hunger are at their highest.

The idea is both practical and healthy at the same time. It's better to give something healthy and consumable rather than flowers that will dry up in days or extra-sweet chocolate because WHY NOT?! I can only see a woman who appreciates this kind of gift as someone worth keeping. Whether this is someone independent with a motherly mindset is unknown to me. It is just my personal observation.

I love it!! more ONIONS for me!!! hahahahaahah

December Events 2019- Kuwait

Perfect Lava Cake from Sable

It was my birthday last 22^nd of the month, (happy Virgo!!) thankful that I am able to experience such day with fond memories and truly loved by my family and friends.  

Even more special and sweet because of this chocolicious lava cake from SABLE, I am loving every bite of it, the sweetness is just right, it is moist and chewy, a perfect lava cake for me!!  

Sheihk Abdulla Al Salem Cultural center in Kuwait

My family had an amazing night visiting the new iconic center Sheikh Abdulla Al Salem Cultural center in Kuwait, definitely a place that everyone should visit especially with kids. Truly a very well designed establishment with state of the art facilities, I had a blast and my kids just love it every minute of being there!!

Regretted applying Petroleum jelly on my Hair

The Weather  was sunny in Singapore visiting from places to places was very tiring and sweaty at the same time, So I have to bun my hair most  of the time not knowing that by doing such thing every day makes your hair wavy dry and flaky ( dandruff) , so coming back in Kuwait when things back to its slow phase, I started to see the consequences of my actions, it damaged my hair from root to tip.

I went from channel to channel in YouTube looking for home hair remedies, the very commonly found remedy is putting a vaseline/Petroleum Jelly on the hair then leave it for 30 mins as crazy as it sounds, I did it!! and guess what!!! I  totally regretted doing it..!! My GAWD!!! please people before putting that vaseline in your hair READ THIS!!!... its not something you want to try, whatever they said the end results, it's not true at all, please buy hair products instead of experimenting!!  or go to the salon for a hair repair.  It will save both your time and hair! Trust me

NOT VASELINE/PETROLEUM JELLY!! 

It turns out, Vaseline makes your hair very greasy, thick and unmanageable, like putting a whole BOTTLE OF cooking oil into your hair, I ended up, washing my hair for consecutive 8x's  ( 4x's with regular shampoo + 4x's with dishwashing liquid) and I have to do it again the next day, then condition my hair again and again till it goes back to its natural shape and moist.   

I eventually go to the salon as well for hot oil and trim... it took me a week to get things back to normal and repair all the damages.

One thing i've learnec or shall I say, " proven " that fairy dishwashing liquid really is a 100% go od in removing grease the best dishwashing liquid that is hahahahaha

THE FOUNDER : Risk Taker, Rule Breaker, Game Changer

I posted new article yesterday about mind setting and fears, I wonder where do this calling takes me, I was reading a book yesterday and my older son accidentally played a movie on TV titled : THE FOUNDER it is a true story of how the famous MC Donalds become an Americanized Famous Fast food chain in the world. 

It started with a great and humble stories from the original owners : the McDonald’s brothers, they were fascinated with so many things, create new ideas, until they discover the concept of speedy service  on a fast food chain set-up, it’s amazing how they were jumping from one opportunity to another with so much positivity that they were able plot and find ways to succeed even how difficult it is, they never give up on something they believe, they have the talent, confidence and intelligence. 

However, with the success of their McDonald's speedy concept restaurant, a small time businessman Ray Kroc who has been unsuccessful in creating a name for his business been driving all over America to sell  ice cream mixer products, until he met the McDonald's brother, one of the brother is extra nice to Ray that he was able to convinced the other brother to give Ray a tour on their successful first ever McDonald's restaurant, in exchange, Ray invited the brothers for a dinner to learn their stories.

Ray Kroc immediately loved the concept of the restaurant that he started dreaming about ideas of franchising and convinced the McDonald's brother get into his franchising concept years later with the persistence work of Ray Kroc,  McDonald's became the largest and fastest growing fast food chain in the USA and has expanded internationally

until then, RAY KROC has taken the management of McDonald's for himself and become the founder of McDonald's, leaving the McDonald's brothers with only one store that eventually closed not able to keep up with the hype.

In a scene where Ray Kroc was practicing for a speech in front of the mirror, he mentioned about the word PERSISTENCE, and that’s what he used to make it into the business after so many failures in life, he uses this to make a name for himself and raise beyond expectations. ( I’m feeling really bad for the Mc donald’s brother, betrayal and greediness at its best!!)

The movie is an eye opener that, Education and Intelligence are not enough to be successful, there are many successful people who are not able to finish school but I’m not saying that it’s good to neglect school, it is always great to have the right knowledge and a hard earned degree.

Combine education and intelligence with persistence, patience and confidence, the world has so much opportunities for those who look beyond the box and work beyond themselves, set your mind to become who you want to become, be smart in all your plans and be wise in all decisions.

A Walk in the Fantasy World Universal Studio Singapore

Singapore is just too amazing to let go, but we have to bid farewell to go back to our lives in kuwait to make a living, anyhow, here’s a glimpse in this so called fantasy world UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE,  I apologize for the pictures as I have to limit my uploads due to space restrictions, I’m using only a “NOT-SO FAMOUS CHINESE TAB” to blog this,  will update more on this when I get back to Kuwait

Movie: A Taxi Driver (Korean Movie)

The hardest part of watching foreign movies is to read the subtitles but you know, that’s one thing that excites me the most, “Multitasking” getting into the emotions and comprehend the subtitles. heheheheh , this movie took the best two hours of my day without a blink, I truly believe that things happen for a reason, our very existence was already plan before us and that we can’t escape destiny and the people we meet along the way.

This movie proves me two things: that some people comes into our lives for a reason,  we subconsciously open ourselves to become part of them even for a moment in time and that's all we need to have that connection for a lifetime and a father’s love is unconditional, he’ll do everything for the people he truly cares  even risking his life.

I was very moved watching the movie, I don't usually cry but I give in eventually, I could have wish a better ending but it is what it is, it’s based on a true story set in 1980, a down-on-his-luck taxi driver from Seoul is hired by a foreign journalist who wants to go to the town of Gwangju for the day. 

 

Rest in peace Mr. journalist, you’ll meet him again in paradise someday!!
