Optimism

“Be of a good cheer; do not think of today’s failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task but you will succeed if you persevere and find joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no efforts that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost_Helen Keller”

I saw this meaningful phrase as while walking home from the NEL station yesterday' evening….Interesting ar…..A timely reminder to us all ……..especially when one is face with either a tough decision or going through a difficult journey in life…Nothing is permanent in our journey on earth…..^@^

Fukubukuro Bag(福袋)

You can get real lucky in the upcoming OX year @Eu Tong Sen Street mall (The central) by purchasing the lucky bags to usher in the CNY...It's sort of Japanese retail tradition of filling the bags with assorted goodies and mystery items and selling them at a fraction of the cost....And the contents of each bag are guaranteed to be worth at least 3times of the purchase value of 68bucks...
Hmm, The Fukubukuro Bag(福袋) literally mean good fortune bag in Japan, the Japanese would line up patiently outside of shopping malls in the cold fuyu weather and once the malls are open, would dash in to make purchases of the 福袋...And depending on one Luck for the year..One can really get their hands on really good attractives stuff....I have missed the purchase of the 福袋 in year 2008 as l was comtemplating whether to get it or not...So this year 2009, l am bent on getting my hands on one such 福袋....I shall visit the mall tonight...Wish moi luck ye**Evil laff**
