Eggslut at Scotts Road

I read of raving reviews of egg sandwiches at Eggslut which often has very long queue at Scotts Road.I decided to try this Eggslut this Wednesday when there was no queue at around 9 pm with my buddy. We had a long chat in this quiet eatery till late at night. 

I ordered the Fairfax which is cage-free scrambled egg with cheddar cheese , caramelised onions and Sriracha mayo in brioche bun. 

When I had my first bite, I knew that I will not pay for this egg sandwich again. I find the brioche bun too soft and scrambled egg very fluffy and light. I prefer denser scrambled egg. I think I can make better egg sandwich I like. Anyway other people might like soft and fluffy scrambled egg and soft bun. So this might be a good choice for them.

Marina Bay Countdown in Singapore

Had a wonderful time with my young cousins yesterday. After a really hearty Italian dinner with lots of pasta and appetisers at Suntec City, we walked to the Esplanade theatre for a short rest. Later we walked to Merlion park to catch the light show around the Marina Bay area. Happy day is just time spending with people you love and understand. 

Christmas Eve in Singapore

Rebirths- Dr Brian Weiss: Many Lives, Many Masters

First posted on September 2019

I just finished reading a book that I purchased at 50% discount at Times bookshop, Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr Brian Weiss.  Dr. Brian L. Weiss is an American Jewish psychiatrist, hypnotherapist, and best selling author that focus on past life regression. This book is about how Dr Brian Weiss discovered past lives and the Masters  Spirits through the process of treating his young patient, Catherine with hypnosis. Catherine recalled her many past lives from Egyptian slave to a German pilot in world war 2. She was born of different genders, races and religion in her different rebirths. Catherine was told that she had lived eighty-six times in the physical state. She was also told that no matter what the circumstances, people are not to kill.

In this book, the Master Spirit told Dr Weiss that debt in previous lives must be repaid. That's why some souls will be reborn together so that the other can pay back the debt. 

Through hypnosis  Catherine discovered that Stuart whom she was having an affair with was someone who killed her in her previous life. 

This book affirmed Buddha's teaching. More than 2500 years ago, Buddha already taught us about rebirths and karma. What you do in this life will affect the next rebirth.

I will share some of the quotes in this book that I find meaningful and remind me of Buddha's teaching. 

" But if people knew that life is endless; so we never die; we were never really born" then this fear of death would dissolve. This quote reminds me of the Heart Sutra.

"We have debts that must be paid. If we have not paid out these debts, then we must take them into another life... in order that they may be worked through. 

One of the most important of life´s lessons is to learn independance, to understand freedom. This means independence from attachments, from results, from opinions, and from expectations. Breaking attachments leads to freedom, but breaking attachments does not mean abandoning a loving and meaningful relationship, a relationship that nourishes your soul. It means ending dependency on any person or thing. Love is never a dependency.

Happiness comes from within. It is not dependent on external things or on other people. You become vulnerable and can be easily hurt when your feelings of security and happiness depend on the behavior and actions of other people. Never give your power to anyone else.

"Every individual soul chooses the significant people in that life. Destiny will place you in the particular circumstance; it will dictate that you will encounter a particular person, at a certain time, place." ~ Brian Weiss

Area of Improvement for HDB Layout

I don't understand why HDB comes up with this design where the toilet is at the side of main entrance door. I prefer the previous design where the toilet is located near the kitchen, away from main entrance door. Imagine if you don't clean the toilet and when you open the main door, you are greeted with unpleasant smell. It really bad design. I hope HDB will change the layout. I already feedback to HDB staff.

The Most Handsome Fengshui Master's Home

Since I'm planning to buy a new BTO flat next year, I've started watching some fengshui videos to learn what to avoid when I design my home. 

I hope the toilet is not near the main entrance door. If there is, then I won't choose it. I find the following video very interesting as you learn how to improve your home fengshui and remedy. Also there are three fengshui masters sharing their knowledge.

The most handsome Fengshui teacher is 湯鎮瑋 or Tang Zhen Wei. Master Zhan and Master Xie are really humorous.

New Cabinet Arrived!

Yesterday I spent the whole day cleaning, organising and transferring my stuff from the old bookshelf to the new cabinet that arrived on this Tuesday night. There are more compartments compared to the previous bookshelf. I can keep the stationery and books organised.

I decided to buy a smaller shelf so that I don't buy unnecessary. It was tiring to clean and sort so many things. I wonder how many trucks I need to transport all my stuff when I move to a new home.

Happy to find this 8 days magazine with my favourite Spice Girl on cover. When I don't smile, I also look unfriendly. I can relate to her cause I'm also a nice person though I look unfriendly when I don't smile. 

I like Home decor magazine.

After 8days and I weekly magazines are no longer in print, now we only have U Weekly magazine. My young cousin love this Korean actor. I prefer Chinese actors who are more macho like Louis Koo. 

I thought that I need many CD sleeves but now there is no need for it with music available in iTunes. 

Dreamed of My Deceased Friend

This month I dreamed of my deceased friend looking her usual young and happy self in the lecture hall twice. I feel better that she is now in better place and no longer suffering. I read that it's not really good if you dreamed the deceased in agony. 

Lately I've been thinking of death and it just reminds me to live life to the fullest and do what I love. I've been reflecting on what I really want to do. I do know I want to travel to Europe in late November next year. Hopefully next year the covid19 will end. 

Just Do The Right Thing

Today biggest news is the shocking infidelity of famous singer Wang Leehom. I never really like him as I just don't like his vibe and he is not that handsome. He also has very big nose like Jacky Chan. According to facial physiognomy, men with big noses tend to have very high sex drive. Jacky Chan and Wang Leehom have affirmed the above saying. 

After reading his ex-wife's long IG post on her marriage with Wang Leehom, I feel sad for her. No wonder many of my friends told me that sometimes it's better to be single than be married.  Despite giving birth to three children for him, he still wants to divorce her. To all the married men out there, please  treasure and love your wife especially if she experienced excruciating pain during child birth. If you just want to fool around, then don't be married. 

To all ladies out there, please don't be involved with married men. Spare a thought for fellow female. If you don't want others to fool with your man, then don't do that to other women's husbands. Have some self-respect for yourself. There are million of men out there and it's not worth it to be with unfaithful married men.

Tarts at Kazo Bakery

I was attracted to the wide variety of colourful tarts at Kazo at Plaza Singapura recently. They had one free tart for every two tarts purchased . I decided to buy six different tarts with three tarts free. I recommend the orh nee and crunchy maple pecan tarts. You can look at the price of each tart below.

My parents and I love the taro Orh nee tart as the yam is not so sweet but tasty with crispy crust.

Early Spring Cleaning

After almost two weeks of cleaning and organising, I finally cleared four big bookshelves and one small bookshelf. It was really exhausting but fulfilling to clear so many bookshelves and clear away some books and magazines I no longer read. I will clear the last small bookshelf next week when the new replacement bookshelf arrive next Tuesday. The current small bookshelf is spoiled.

Cleaning the bookshelves is like stocktaking of what I already have. I will stop buying unnecessary as it is really tiring to keep and clean many items that I have. Now is also a good time for me to decide how many more books I need to clear away when I move to new home in a few years time. I hope to get a BTO flat next year which is a privilege for Singaporean.

This magazine is really old. I think I brought it in 1997. I will keep it.

This magazine is the predecessor of I magazine which is no longer in print now. I think Li Nanxing is the most handsome actor from Channel 8. He still looks so handsome and young at 57 years old. I enjoy the recent channel 8 drama because of him. 

I enjoy reading insights by Mr Lee Kuan Yew, a really good leader who together with his team lead Singapore from third world to first world. Will keep these books.
