Need New Friends?

new_headerff.gif

If you are thinking of finding new friends online while lounging in the comfort of your couch and laptop, this is the place to look for. Check out FriendFinder and who knows those new friends you meet in the chat room could lead to more meaningful relationship.
I like the idea of meeting people online. It lessen the risk of being too awkward when meeting people in person (not that I am a shy person, but still in most culture, the first impression does count..haha) And by learning how the person might be online, it could at least give me the idea of what kind of person she or he might be - an active mind, shy guy, intellectual man etc.

Moreover if you find friends through online, there are many special criteria you could look up for. Maybe the way she writes her comment in your blog (yes, FriendFinder does let you pour your heart and share with people who love to read blogs..) or maybe you can see whether your brain wave and his are really compatible by having a casual chat with him first before you two decide to meet in person.

And if you are an avid reader like me, check out The FriendFinder Magazine where there are a lot of interesting articles and content shared by the members. Who knows you might find something that would jolt your sleeping brain and could inspire you to be a greater friend in real world.

Books

Tuesdays With Morrie


I went out to the city a few days ago to run some official errand. Being stranded for many hours at the government office was really a waste of my precious time. It was only worthwhile since I got some alone (but not quiet) time for myself.

Since this was the only haven’t-read-yet books in my collection that is not too thick and possible to be finished within 4 hours, I took it with me to the government office.

So despite the not so serene environment, I managed to read half of the book before some strangers started to strike a conversation with me..haha! Overall, I love Tuesdays With Morrie as much as I love other books written by Mitch Albom.

I love the way he writes and manage to touch the heart of the readers. His words are always easy but meaningful. So for those who want to try some touchy-feely message at heart, try reading Mitch Albom’s writing. I highly recommend it to all of you, especially this Tuesdays With Morrie.

Cliffside Malibu

*This post is written for Cliffside Malibu*

If there is a place where you could go for treatment while being pampered and get a luxury service, would you mind getting into rehab for your drug or alcohol abuse problem? If you ask me, this would be a great way for me to clear my mind while cleansing my body of all the toxins that have been poisoning life.

There are so many Drug Rehabs in the country and only the best could provide what many of their patients dream of. What about a spa treatment, manicure/pedicure, wireless Internet access and plasma TV. And not to forget the swim in the heated lap pool while being served with gourmet meals everyday.

This sounds like a vacation trip but actually you are undergoing their rehabilitation program. Who says rehabilitation treatment should be painful and less comfortable? If there is a way to help ease the burden of mind and soul, Cliffside Malibu definitely knows how to do it.

Take a walk to their West Garden to relax, and step back to smell the beautiful Grandiflora Roses, Spanish Lavender and local wildflowers. If you have tried and failed many times at the attempt to be sober, maybe this is another rehab center you should try.

Are You Depressed?


I’m sure many of us have heard this phrase..aargghh, I’m depressed. But how do you know whether a person is really diagnosed as clinically depressed. What are the symptoms and why people could get depression?

I have read around and find a good information on Depression.com. The information on the site is really good as it covers basic aspects on understanding, treating and living with depression. If you think somebody you love has depression problem, don’t dread as depression is treatable both through medication and therapy.

It’s important that we stand by them and help to seek the way out. Most of depression patients said that the feeling is like black gloomy feeling enveloping their heart and mind. It hurts and really wreck their body and brain function. It is also said that talk therapy is the best and effective way to combat depression.

If you are feeling down for more than 2 weeks now, you can also check this online depression screening test to see whether you should seek further treatment.

Music

End Of The Road

legacyb2men.jpg

I used to listen to a lot of good music when I was in high school.

Maybe because in the boarding school I grew up in, the influence to keep pace with the latest music was there. (Call it peer pressure, huh!)

When I was in college I still listen to popular artistes based on what my roommates listened to.

I was too busy going out and enjoying outside time than spending serene hours listening to music..haha!

Oh, despite that I do have few personal favourites and one of the groups I loved, and still love to listen to is Boyz II Men. Maybe their old songs remind me a lot of good memories in school and college.

If you never listen to them before, check out their legacy album - Boyz II Men - Legacy: Greatest Hits Collection. It has all the good and memorable love (soul touching) songs especially End of The Road.

Old friends from school, do you still remember how our seniors used to play this song when it was the last day of the semester.

I missed those mushy time..huhu!

Tickets For Sale

*This post is written for DWTickets.com*


If you are planning to have a vacation with your family in Orlando make sure you get Disney World Tickets for the rest of the gang. No trip would be complete without a visit to the famous Walt Disney World ® Resort. Of course there are so much to choose from in order for you to customize your Magic Your Way tickets.

You can buy 1 day ticket or up to 10 day ticket or ticket with no expiration and pick which park you would want to spend your time in. If you are confused now, check out their guide on which tickets to buy. Don’t worry as their tickets are below gate price since they have prepurchased the tickets in bulk so the price are individually less expensive.

If it were me I would love to go to Universal Studios and MGM Studios. Maybe those two theme parks would take a few days to be completed. And I would love to end my day with fireworks at Disney’s Magic Kingdom at night. I’m sure it would be very romantic and turn out to be a very lively experience.

Now, how do I get enough money for flights and accommodation for my Disney trip..haha!

Cirque du Soleil


I first know about Cirque du Soleil while watching CSI. One of the murder scenes during that episode happened at the location of their show. Of course since never in my life I’ve been to any circus show, I would love to know more about them.

In the US, you could see their resident shows either in Las Vegas or Orlando.

And if you want to watch Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba, it is only available in Orlando - the world-renowned human spectacular located at DOWNTOWN DISNEY West Side.

Of course they also have tour all around the world. For now they are going to Australia to present Varekai-the show about a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures.

Maybe if they are coming somewhere nearby to Singapore, I would be able to catch a seat or two to their show. Hopefully, wink!

The Giving Hands

If you feel like giving out something to charity, this is your chance to join blogathon on charity related matter. A good hearted person by the name of Pelf has came out with a blog called The Giving Hands to create awareness from the public especially about a handicap service centre in Penang which goes by the name of Eden Handicap Service Centre.

givinghands.jpg

Since this centre is an independent non-profit charity organisation, they are funded entirely by generous contribution of the society. I have read on the website about their plea to get around RM70,000 in order to get a van that would facilitate the needs of the disabled children currently in their Children Hostel.

At the moment, they need to send these children to hospital for treatment, to school and for recreation. They only have a car and the children have to be carried by the staff of the centre into the car. If only they could get the van with a specially equipped wheelchair lift that will be easily assessable to the wheelchair-bound children, they could save a lot of time and energy and less risk of injury.

The blog owner of The Giving Hands is also a PR Representative of The Eye Digest. By reading the website, I found new information about many age related eye diseases such as cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.

So if you feel that you have the time and money to contribute for this good cause, join the Giving Hands to help Eden Handicap Service Centre. Your generosity of heart will go a long way towards a more meaningful life of the disabled people.
