Singapore Southern Ridges
Sunday, August 17, 2008
Today went to the Singapore Southern Ridges with the people from Fo Tang. Very fun and interesting trip. Learnt many things and saw many interesting things. Such a fun day today. We met up early in the morning at 7.30am and took a train to Harbour Front and waited for close to 30mins for the rest to arrive.
Those who are interested to go walk, you can start from Harbour Front MRT Station and exit at EXIT D. From there just follow the path and walk all the way. Here are some of the sceneries of the walk. More photos will be uploaded in my facebook after I get the photos.

This is the most romantic robot animation that really touches the human heart. It not only says about saving the earth and environment, it also talks about human feelings. This is a must watch Disney animation of the year. I really wish to get a pair of tickets to watch with her and get the opportunity to pop the magical question.

One of the key principles of The No Complaining Rule is that we have a choice of how we invest our energy at home and at work. We can focus on the negative or the positive. We can focus on problems or use problems to create solutions. And we can focus on sharing positive energy or negative energy. It’s all about our intention, our focus and our habits. Bad habits create bad results and good habits create good results. And since one of the best ways to stop a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit, here are 5 positive things we can do each day instead of complain.
1. Practice Gratitude. Research shows that when we count three blessings a day, we get a measurable boost in happiness that uplifts and energizes us. It’s also physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time. Two thoughts cannot occupy our mind at the same time. If you are focusing on gratitude, you can’t be negative. You can also energize and engage your coworkers by letting them know you are grateful for them and their work.
2. Praise Others. Instead of complaining about what others are doing wrong, start focusing on what they are doing right. Praise them and watch as they create more success as a result. Of course, point out their mistakes so they can learn and grow, but make sure you give three times as much praise as criticism.
3. Focus on Success. Start a success journal. Each night before you go to bed, write down the one great thing about your day. The one great conversation, accomplishment, or win that you are most proud of. Focus on your success, and you’ll look forward to creating more success tomorrow.
4. Let Go. Focus on the things that you have the power to change, and let go of the things that are beyond your control. You’ll be amazed that when you stop trying to control everything, it all somehow works out.
5. Pray and Meditate. Scientific research shows that these daily practices reduce stress; boost positive energy; and promote health, vitality, and longevity. When you are faced with the urge to complain or you are feeling stressed to the max, stop, be still, plug-in to the ultimate power, and recharge.
