Tian Tian Xiang Shang 天天向上
Gigantic and medium sized sculptures of Tian Tian Xiang Shang are currently on display at Raffles City shopping mall. Designed by a Hong Konger, this sculpture literally means always looking up. To me, it is about working hard for a better future.
The smaller sculptures are in the shopping mall and the painting designs on the sculptures are done by others artists.

Awesome Chocolate Ice-Cream at The Dark Gallery
I found a great chocolate ice-cream cafe at The Millennia Walk. One scoop of dark chocolate Signature 80% costs $5, $1 for the chocolate coated waffle bowl and $1 more for two toppings. Wow, I prefer this chocolate ice-cream compared to Godiva.

Value for Money for Overseas Tour at Changi Recommends!
If you are planning your own trip and looking for value for money for overseas tour, you can go to Changi Recommends website to book overseas tour and even popular overseas attraction tickets. For example, it is much cheaper to buy HongKong Disneyland ticket at Changi Recommend then if you purchase in HongKong. I think its about $10 cheaper.
Last year I went to Melbourne and booked a day trip at the Federation Square Tourist Visitor centre and it cost me about S$210.00. But at Changi Recommend, a similar tour only costs S$130.00 inclusive of lunch and gourmet tasting at Yarra Valley. This early September I be going to Melbourne again with my friend for 1 week free and easy tour. We be going to Philips island and Yarra valley. Yes this Melbourne trip is my third visit and most probably the last. Next year I might visit Switzerland instead..
Besides overseas attraction, you can also purchase other travel related stuff like wi-fi, transport and SIM card. But you need to purchase online at the Changi recommends website.

Switzerland–Singapore Celebration at Paragon Shopping Mall
Today is the start of Switzerland and Singapore Celebration exhibition at Paragon shopping mall in Orchard Road. The Embassy of Switzerland organised this exhibition to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations with Singapore. However the exhibition is closed to the public until 6pm today. Anyway even though I can't access until 6pm, I could still see the exhibition outside the barrier.
Switzerland is one country that I'm going to visit in my life. It's a really beautiful country that is like heaven on earth. I've have collected and brought lots of Switzerland travel related books like Lonely Planet and maps prepared by Switzerland tourism board. Today, I went to Paragon shopping mall hoping to get free Switzerland travel guide books. I asked one of the staff if I could get Switzerland guide books that were on display and she kindly gave me all the travel books even though I'm couldn't access the exhibit yet and I didn't want to stay till 6pm. Maybe next year I travel to this beautiful mountainous country. Every night, before I sleep, I will read Switzerland travel guide books that feature scenic mountainous view with placid lake and imagine I'm there breathing the crisp clean air in this beautiful country. It is actually quite cheap to travel to Zurich. A return flight ticket with Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Zurich costs about $1300.00 and its about 13 hours journey. If I go to Switzerland, most probably I plan about 2 weeks there and will explore the country with their efficient and. beautiful train.
The exhibition features Switzerland culture and innovation and will end on 13 August. There are also interesting activities. For me I like the virtual reality goggle that made me feel like exploring Switzerland in 360 views. I could just change different views by turning my head. Anyway I returned back to the exhibit again to see what is inside the exhibit.
I like this virtual reality device which allows me to explore beautiful Switzerland in 360 degrees view.

I think 2 weeks should be sufficient to explore Switzerland.
Free travel guide books at the exhibition!
I'm quite risk averse so I'm not going to ski there. Maybe I go there to make snowman. I haven't touch snow yet.
Swiss invention: Swiss knife
Swiss alphorn is used by Shepherds to call the cows from the pastures and into the barn at milking time.
Not many people as the exhibit is only opened to the public at 6pm today.
Exploring Switzerland must travel by train.

Dreamed of Canada
Yesterday I had a beautiful dream. I dreamed that I was in a mountainous hill at a Canada resort. Maybe next year I explore Canada. But it can be tiring to fly to Canada from Singapore as there are stopovers and total flight time can take up to 30 hours. I love mountains so I probably go there for hiking next year.

Anita Moorjani & Dr Jill Taylor on Near Death Experience
Recently from Chinese newspapers,Lianhe Zaobao, in an article written by actress Brigitte Lin, she shared an inspiring story written by Anita Moorjani who survived cancer. The book, Dying to be Me by Anita shared how she miraculously survived from cancer after a near death experience. Doctor told her family to prepare for her death as her organs were shutting down and she was in end-stage lymphoma. Her cancer miraculously disappeared 5 weeks after she woke up from coma.
Her description of near death experience is similar to Dr Jill Taylor, a Harvard trained brain scientist who survived stroke after experiencing near death experience. She wrote, "My Stroke of Insight" that described her stroke experience and her road to recovery.
Both of them experienced euphoria, pure joy in the other realm. . To them, it was like returning home, to be at one with the universe and we are all connected. Illness manifest when we do not love ourselves and being too harsh on ourselves and there is no balance. When there is balance, there is no illness as shared by Anita Moorjani. After experiencing pure love in the other realm, she returned with this new knowledge and that's why her cancer miraculously disappeared. Life is a gift.
