01-05 Wanton Noodle.
~ first shop I saw after parking. Nice. I detect there is NO MSG and very little salt used. Char Siew pre-sliced thinly, consistently. Soup, pleasant. Noodles... good enough for me. Point to note... one plate cost either $2.50 or $3 and the default is $3 and that was what I got when I ordered without stating my preference... so let them know if you want the $2.50 plate.

01-28 ~ Tea House
~ I did NOT drink (have not drunk) here yet. What's interesting here is... while drinking my cup of kopi (from 01-15), I saw a few people drinking their's in a nicer, smaller and more Traditional Cup-n-Saucer (like the one we have at home). I went round looking for it and then noticed that it came from this stall which was run by Indians... what a surprise for me. I remember saying... "drink Kopi from the Chinese Stall and Teh-Tarik from the Indian Stall"... well, if this is as good as it looks... you could get both here. Must try next time I'm there.

Vocal Tip ~ Music Lessons via Video ~ 2012 Sep 25, 1805hrs
I just sent this to my choir friends.
===.
Hi all,
===.
Hi all,
I just came across this website that seem to explain well the theory of music.
I decided to explore the 'ABRSM Music Theory' route.
I think at the end of each lesson of each grade...
you can actually take the 'ABRSM Music Theory' EXAM.
Up to Grade 5 it is very easy... children are already doing it... but for adults...
it's a bit harder... because... they don't listen to their parents anymore...
about what to study... that is.
If you need help with the lessons, you can always ask those of us who've been through this.
The lessons seem to be very close to the way our Choir Mistress has been teaching... only difference is...
you could have the lesson repeated... over and over again... try getting Choir Mistress to do that.

Fix your eyes on the blinking green dot in the middle. Did you notice that while doing this that the 3 yellow dots will blink? Well, actually... they're always there and NOT blinking. If you stare each yellow dot on it's own, it will NOT blink.

Subject: Motion Induced Blindness -MUST READ
This info is only for Careful Road Users... must read and remember.
Motion Induced Blindness
In a motor accident, wherein a speeding car hits a slower moving vehicle coming from the side, the speeding car drivers often swear that they just didn’t see the vehicle coming from the left or right.
Well, they aren’t lying. They really don’t see the vehicle coming from the side, in spite... of broad daylight. This phenomenon on the car drivers’ part is known as “Motion Induced Blindness”. It is unbelievable but it is true, and it is definitely frightening. Armed forces pilots are taught about motion induced blindness during training, because it happens faster at high speeds; and to some extent it is applicable to car drivers also, especially the fast ones. So, if you drive a car, please read this carefully.
Once airborne, pilots are taught to alternate their gaze between scanning the horizon and scanning their instrument panel, and never to fix their gaze for more than a couple of seconds on any single object. They are taught to continually keep their heads on a swivel and their eyes always moving. Because, if you fix your gaze on one object long enough while you yourself are in motion, your peripheral vision goes blind. That’s why it is called motion induced blindness. For fighter pilots, this is the only way to survive in air; not only during aerial combat, but from peacetime hazards like mid-air collisions as well.
Till about three decades ago, this “heads on swivel & eyes moving” technique was the only way to spot other aircraft in the skies around.
Now-a-days they have on-board radars, but the old technique still holds good.
Let me give you a small demonstration of motion induced blindness. This is the same demonstration that is used for trainee pilots in classrooms before they even go near an aircraft.
Just click on either of the links below.
You will see a revolving array of blue crosses on a black background. There is a flashing green dot in the center and three fixed yellow dots around it. If you fix your gaze on the green dot for more than a few seconds, the yellow dots will disappear at random…, either singly, or in pairs, or all three together. In reality, the yellow dots are always there. Just watch the yellow dots for some time to ensure that they don’t go anywhere!
Link 1:
GIF Link ~ http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/MotionBlindnessf.gif
Link 1:
Flash Video Link ~ http://www.msf-usa.org/motion.
(You can alter the background color or the rpm of the array by clicking the appropriate buttons. So, if you are driving at a high speed on a highway and if you fix your gaze on the road straight ahead, you will not see a car, a scooter, a buggy, a bicycle, a buffalo or even a human being approaching from the side. Now reverse the picture. If you are crossing a road on foot and you see a speeding car approaching…, there’s a 90% chance that the driver isn’t seeing you, because his/her peripheral vision may be blind! And you may be in that blind zone

Who's smart? Who's stupid? ~ by PGA
Never underestimate
what the mind can do.
If the stupid are smart,
then the smart have
more... learning to do.
Who's smart? Who's stupid?
It's all in our minds,
but our minds don't get it.
Leave it alone,
it springs a surprise.
Try to work it,
it breaks down in size.
Never underestimate
what the mind can do.
Who's smart? Who's stupid?
I leave it to you.

Rhetoric Joke ~ They drove our economy into a ditch
I'm not on anyone's side here. I'm just enjoying this Rhetoric Joke.

These are the folks whose policies
help devastate our middle class.
They drove our economy into a ditch.
I don't want to give them the keys back.
They don't know how to drive.
~
President Barack Obama on...
Mitt Romney, nominee of the Republican Party for
President of the United States in the 2012 election.
===.
Excerpt from President Obama's remarks on September 6, 2010 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
President Obama: "They Drove Our Economy into a Ditch."
"So basically here's what this election comes down to. They're betting that between now and November you're going to come down with amnesia. They figure you're going to forget what there agenda did to this country. They think you'll just believe that they've changed.
These are the folks whose policies help devastate our middle class. They drove our economy into a ditch.
And we got in there and put on our boots. And we pushed and we shoved and we were sweating. These guys were standing, watching us, sipping on a Slurpee. And they were pointing at us saying, 'how come you're not pushing harder? how come you're not pushing faster?' And then when we finally got the car up--and it's got a few dings and a few dents. It's got some mud on it. We're going to have to do some work on it. They point out to everybody and say:
'Look what these guys did to your car!'
After we got it out of the ditch, and then they got the nerve to ask for the keys back.
I don't want to give them the keys back. They don't know how to drive."

Lyrics to: A Place In The Choir
Chorus
All God's creatures got a place in the choir,
Some sing low and some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire,
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got. (Chorus)
Verse 1
Listen to the top with the little birds singing,
And the melodies and the high notes ringing,
And the hoot-owl cries over everything,
And the blackbird disagrees.
Verse 2
Singing in the night time singing in the day,
And the little duck quacks and he's on his way,
And the otter hasn't got much to say,
And the porcupine talks to himself. (Chorus)
Verse 3
The dogs and the cats, they take up the middle,
Where the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles,
The donkey brays and the pony neighs,
And the old gray badger sighs.
Verse 4
Well listen to the bass its the one on the bottom,
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus,
moans and groans with a big to do,
And the old cow just goes moo. Chorus
Verse 5
Its a simple song living song everywhere,
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The grumpy alligator and the hawk above,
The sly old weasel and the turtledove.
(Chorus) (Chorus) (Chorus)
(Ending)
All God's creatures got a place in the choir

Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
Lyrics to:
Hallelujah originally by Leonard Cohen
"Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this... The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
..."

My front door is open for someone like you, / gee but I like your smile
So come on in and let's get well acquainted, / I'll betcha, that you'll like me too
And the two of us, won't ever fuss, / so everything's all right
My front door is open for you
{Music Interlude to these lyrics]
So come on in and let's get well acquainted, / I'll betcha, that you'll like me too
And the two of us, won't ever fuss, / so everything's all right
My front door is open for you
[Verse 2]
My front door is open for someone like you, / but it's been closed a long long time
I've sat at home, my telephone, don't ring anymore, / I seldom see that old sun shine
Although I haven't got a lot to offer, / I've got a heart that's true
It's plain to see, that you and me, / could get along just fine.
My front door is open for you
