Dinner @ Delicious, Straits Quay

Dinner with my brother-in-law and 2 sisters at DELICIOUS @ Straits Quay.

                                   Mushroom Mascarpone Spaghettini (my order)

                                         My sister's order
                                  

    The lighting in Delicious.  Note that the lamps are inside birdcages

  After dinner we had desserts, coconut cake, peach frangipane and macadamia cheesecake.  Were full by that time, it was rich & sweet (or what Mom would said "Jelak")

                                   Ah, but luckily we had affogato coffee with the desserts.

"A big thank you for the invitation."

(Some of the food in the menu are denoted as 'Vegetarian' - western style ie with onion garlic ... - so you need to remind them when placing your order to omit onion & garlic, if you do not take them.)

MESSAGE OF INSPIRATION 4

THIS message was heard during my niece wedding dinner at E & O Hotel (3/Jul).  A message by her mother during the thanksgiving speech.

//

"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God."  - James 1:19-20.  \\

Message of inspiration (July 2011)

(A very meaningful and inspiring song by Jewel - Hands)

Hands

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

Message of Inspiration 3

Recently heard from 'Pei De Ban", Chen DCS (Jiu) mentioned -
It was in Hokkien dialect - "Lang tua thean dong, lui tua gheen thang" and if translated into English it will be something like this - " the person is in paradise/heaven , (but) his money is in the bank."
