Yesterday, for the 3rd time in less than 2 months time, I went to have buffet at the Marche Restaurant. The food is not that delicious as I only enjoyed the grilled meat (lamb, beef, salmon and chicken) the first time and not after that. Though, the mushroom soup (thick with real blended shitake mushroom) and the sauteed mushroom (I normally added this into the soup to give its extra bite) are heavenly. Besides, food is all free but drinks are charged even for a cup of plain water!
Question is why do I pay the money to suffer later? You see, normally after the 5th (small) dishes, my tummy already showing the white flag and anything more than that is like adding bricks into my poor stomach of mine....
Could the answer be that the buffet is ending this month, therefore, my ego said, I better take advantage of the buffet offer now before it's gone or could it be my body of telling me that I'm getting old, no longer able to gobble up tons of food as what I did in my school days? This term comes to mind: 'Are you eating to live or live to eat?' For me, when having buffet, sad to say it's more of the latter....... :( never thinking of the consequences, health or otherwise, physically, mentally (yes, it does take lots of guts and mind-power to continue eating after you are full,ok) and shall I say, spiritually too (since I think the more you over-eat, the closer you are in seeing God as in closer to death...no joke, as obesity is slowly becoming the killer in our modern society today)
So, the question is WHY.......???
I guess I might as well channel my energy to other stuff I like...like shopping for latest replica bags! :)

My Top 3 Favourite Sites
Would like to share with you all my 3 favourite websites. You can just click on the links as follows to straight go to the site and check them out;
1) www.imdb.com
I'm a movie freak and this is the one stop movie resources place that you can go to check out all that movies had been released, in the making, interesting trivias you may not know, credits, stars, colourful pictures and endless other informations you would find useful if you are crazy about movies like me....
2) www.louisehay.com
I got to know of Louise L Hay after watching her inspirational DVD: You Can Heal Your Life that practically changed my life for the better. You will too after you watched it, though you may feel it's a little like 'The Secret'.....
3) www.qreplicas.com
Everyone has their own vices and this is mine and I am not ashamed of it. At least, this replica handbags website is better than I wasted my monies in substance abuse, gambling, terrorizing my neighbour's cats etc. Agree?

60 Earth Hour
What are you doing on this March 28th, 2009 around 8.30 to 9.30pm? If you do not have nothing to do at home by just watching TV or going out for a dinner, please VOTE EARTH by just turning off your home or office light.
WHY you said?
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009. This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.
In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.
We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

P.S. My fav replica bags store is also promoting earth hour...how kewl...!! :)

Million Dollar Smile
Hi All, this week.....would like to share this inspirational story by Roger Dean Kiser, Sr. If you are interested, Learn more about the wonderful work that Roger is doing by going to: www.rogerdeankiser.com
"Each year this organization of men came to the Children's Home Society Orphanage.
All the boys and girls would get two dollars each. The men would take us in groups of five to downtown Jacksonville, Florida, to do some Christmas shopping.
I remember going with this one gentleman three years in a row. He would take us shopping, then he would ask us if we wanted to go to the movies. I remember watching him closely when we got to the theater. I watched him as he pulled out his wallet to pay for our tickets. He looked over at me and just smiled with his great big smile. During the movie he bought us all the popcorn and candy that we wanted. I remember thinking how wonderful it was that someone would spend their own money on someone like us.
We all laughed at the funny movie and had a really good time. The man would laugh really hard and then he would pat me on top of the head. Then he would laugh really hard again and reach over and rustle my hair. I would just look at him, and he would just keep smiling with his great big wonderful smile.
That trip to the movies was the first time in my life that I ever felt as if someone really cared about me. It was a wonderful feeling which I have never forgotten, even to this day, decades later. I don't know if that man felt sorry for me, but I do know this: If I ever win the big lottery, that man will find out that he carried a million-dollar smile.
This is why I believe it is so important that organizations and clubs, such as the Shriners and Jaycees, continue to reach out and help the children who are less fortunate. In my particular case, it was this one man's personal act of kindness that will be remembered for years to come. Just one little simple act of kindness.
It is these little-tiny acts that will insure that when some confused child goes off the deep end one day, he or she will forever remember that small glimmer of kindness that was shown to them by someone. That little speck of hope, that little dim light of goodness that will forever be stuck somewhere in the far reaches of their confused mind.
I thank you, kind Sir, for a memory which I now share with my children and grandchildren fifty years later..."
