Happy Deepavali!

Happy Deepavali to all Hindus! I am very happy that today is public holiday and I can have extra rest from work!

Last week, I went to Waterloo street to pray at Kwan Im Thong Hood temple and I thought I just prayed outside the Sri Krishnan temple which is just next to Kwan Imm temple. Many  years ago, I was surprised that my ex-colleagues prayed outside Sri Krishnan temple after praying to Kwan Imm and they told me they believe in all religions. Perhaps all religions are teaching similar things like kindness, compassion and karma or Cause and effect. .

Let's  focus on similarities on religions like Kindness, Compassion and kama like Golden Rule and less on the differences. We must not take religious harmony in Singapore for granted. Once trust is gone, society will be fragmented with distrust and disharmony. 

Happy Deepavali to all Hindus. The Light will triumph over darkness and the good prevails! Happy holidays to all!

New Dishes at Elemen Restaurant 2024

Had a wonderful vegetarian meal with my friend after work last Friday. We shared  two sets of 8-course meal at Element restaurant, one of which is the new Taiwan course set meal. She didn't eat much so I had most of the food, to my delight.  Anyway I enjoy delicious food with my friend. 

The Taiwan set course will end this month on 31 October this year. If you love Taiwan food, you should come to try.

Final UWeekly 优1周 Magazine

Finally the last local entertainment magazine is ending with the final edition this weekend. I'm quite pleased that Kym Ng is on the final UWeekly cover as I like her unpretentious and kind vibe.

With the end of local entertainment magazine, it kinda spells the end of local entertainment. Actually how many people are still watching local dramas now with YouTube, Netflix and Disney available? To be honest, after work, I don't watch local dramas with long advertisements (don't think they should advertise those screaming drama scenes and medical adverts). Please be mindful what you show on television. 

Now I prefer to watch travel videos from youtube as I can control the speed of video and block advertisements. My relatives also prefer to watch Korean drama online. 

Anyway I'm glad that UWeekly persisted for another seven years when both 8Days and Iweekly ended print magazines in 2018. Thank you UWeekly for accompanying me for the past 23 years. 

说真的，虽然不舍优1周终于结束，但天下没有不散的宴席。谢谢优1周这23年的相伴。

Glad that Kym Ng is featured on the final UWeekly magazine.
