1 Finding the GAP in life This is about spotting the GAP in life. What is the thing that is missing in life and business? One, copy one thing that is successful but don't copy everything in life/business. Second part, look for problems that nobody choose to care or solve. Third thing, find out what people need, and mix it up, smash up the current trend and build on to succeed. 2. Network in life Go out every evening if one got the energy. If not, try to fill up your weekends with events, find social events and not movie screenings, play poker, play golf, play rugby. Find people to date. Find wealthy people to invest with. In Singapore, there are many events, choose wisely. Choose partner to network, in life bring people together who think differently. 3. Drive ahead like F1 Racer Drive on and purely focus on the end in mind. Don't dwell in road markings just like F1 driver in Singapore who go against traffic signs on the roads. 4. Look for blips, Observe and Act o

Honestly, everyday can be a good weekend when you are doing things that you love. So, what do you love to do? Sports, painting, reading, movies, cycling, table tennis?           You have just got to live your life and decide the time to spend on doing what you WANT to do, rather than what you HAVE to do. Every day can be the perfect weekend if you MAKE it so.

Mrupupup encountered an NTUC Roving Truck. Well, this truck would be going around Singapore to provide goodies and discounts on NTUC items like health supplements, health screening, health products for the seniors. Each month the truck will have a different theme like health, cooking, fun learning, relax time, stay active and eat well. Well, the truck is part of NTUC's social enterprise Pioneers OK! Package.

Mrupupup got invited to attend the Panasonic Cooking Workshop held at Panasonic in Bedok South area. The workshop was fun and learnt new trick for cooking. The cooking demonstration showed a lot of Panasonic cooking things like microwave oven, bread maker and blender, all useful for easy cooking at home. Good tips from the workshop: 1. Never use a metal plate/bowl in microwave oven which will cause sparks and spoil the microwave oven 2. Use yoghurt and milk plus fruits and mix in the blender to make a wonderful smoothie drink 3. You can cook an egg in the microwave oven by wrapping in aluminium foil and place the wrapped egg in a bowl of water to boil. Great day - enjoyed freshly made bread, buns, yam cake and nice herbal chicken. Thanks Panasonic and Channel U!       

  Shinkansen Japanese Bullet Train is a very pretty train. Mrupupup took the Shinkansen a few times and it never fails to amazes Mrupupup.   Mrupupup on this day took the Shinkansen to travel from Tokyo to the northern cities of Japan. Once inside the cabin of the Shinkansen, one would be in awe of the cleanliness of each seat. The cabin was also absolutely so 'peaceful' once the train pulls off from the platform. The bullet train would travel at speeds of 300km/hr. However, one would not feel the speed but the steadiness of the ride.   In the cabin, Mrupupup would look out the window and see the wonderful country side and built up areas of Tokyo. Mrupupup would be fascinated by Japanese society with its neatness, peace, zen and orderliness. Even in the Shinkansen train, one should not talk in a loud manner.   Zoom. The ride would take one to another city in 30mins. Before you knew it, you are ready to alight from the train. Oh, the music of the station stoppin
