While I'm doing my almost daily 3x8 pull ups and 3x8 dips, body tells me I need to pack in a more serious meal than the usual hawker fare. Speaking of which been some time CBS has posted his sumptuous dinners.

You can actually darken the strap yourself simply with shoe polish.

That's what Peter of Gunny Straps told me when I accidentally scratched up one of my straps made by him.

I am in the market for thinner dress watch, suitable for daily wear. Dream watch will be a ALS 1815 but it is too much money for me. Saw something from Chopard and IWC but still shopping around. Anything to recommend 10k or below?

Mink oil or baby johnsons oil also works.

Went to do volunteer work again this morning. Island wide mission to give out new school shoes to children from needy families. Sponsored by two major shoe companies.



So happy to see the bright smiles on the faces of the children! On a few occassions i could feel my eyes well up with tears.

Enjoy 冬至 today!!!

Well Done!! You have my respects; salute!!

eh no lah. just wanna give back to society. I grew up in poverty so I wanna give back and hope the children do not get caught in the vicious cycle. I'm glad I didn't. A lot of ppl here also give back to society just that I more hao-lian to post here mah hahahahaha. but do hope to encourage more people to help our fellow countrymen.

no man is a higher mortal than the next.
(one of us here ........ super generous to charity. Some times I also very very pai sey to ask him hahaha...... just ask him only, one full 20 footer truck of grocery all settled. That's our true dai gor dai!)



I make donations to several organizations regularly and also adopt a few local underprivileged children, transferring some pocket money to their account monthly. I usually help with Caring singaporeans, Project goodwill aid, keeping hope alive, willing hearts etc just to name a few. Just go to their FB page, see their next project and if my schedule permits, I will go.



ya man. thats the whole idea. happy to see young people achieve their first luxury watch - reminds me of the time when I got my first. and what a journey it has been.
(I must talk to you more about AKB48 hahaha.....)



I like to meet people and listen to their stories. I also like to share mine with young people and hope it serves as an encouragement.

No lah. If I retire I will cut down on luxuries and focus on the intangibles in life. My day will probably consist of:
send kids to school
have breakfast with wife and/or parents
go help out at some charity org
Lunch with wife and/or parents and/or kids after school
help with their homework/enrichment programs/go gym
sleep early

think I'm burnt out. but I yearn for a simple life now.

小时候，快乐很简单
长大了，简单就快乐

i have a lot to learn from you.
