ELLENBOROUGH Market Cafe on 4th March 2006

I know this is going to be a bit late but nevertheless, I think nobody is going to blame me as all of us are busy with our own things. Exams, work...

Anyway, here's the brief report on that day's outing when "Wenqi A.K.A The Gu Nia" and "KC the Banana" celebrated their 25th Birthday. Yes, we are 25 years old now!

Hang on, dudes... this is going to be a long one so sit back and enjoy!!!



The gathering - the whole crew needs at least half an hour to meetup after designated time. Ok, in case you don't know, that's usual.



8 different hands on an empty bowl. THAT symbolized we are hungry! Now, we are waiting outside the restaurant as we have reached too early and the staff there wouldn't let us in.



No bowl, no hands this time. THIS symbolized an idiot! This shows how bored we are and how much we want to get in first-time to start the feast.



One more photo while we are waiting. Eh.. everyone look kinda cool and that makes the whole photo real cool ... bcause you will notice someone was missing in it.



Ellenborough Market Cafe, here we come!



Introducing the photographer today, the one with a magic touch. He never fails to capture any precious moments with his camera



Yum. Yum. Hungry? Don't butt us, let us eat.



Wow... sashimi...



Pandan chicken... and many more. For those who couldn't make it to the dinner, you now know what you have missed out. And oh yes, don't forget the DURIAN PASTE.



Ok, it's that time of the day again. Prize giving! Banana man just got a new polo t-shirt and a cap.



"Why does Kianchew get 2 presents while I only get one?" - Wenqi
"Ok. Ok. Here's one more for you... to the nipples." - Weiquh




Tribute to the birthday pair! Banzai to the dinner!



Ok, in case you were curious about how the cap looks like. Hey, who's the person in between?



Let's dance~! "Ha Ha Ha" - Henry, "Hee Hee Hee" - Jinsheng



Cheers! Let's poke your nose!



More cheers and laughters! It's so fun that day that Henry swears by the heart that he will burst out laughing.



Yes! BURST out laughing...



Round 2: The wine company. This place is going to be one of the places that we will be frequening very often in the near future.



Spot the difference.


That's going to be all, folks... Overall, it's a great dinner and great wine tasting session. Let's all give Kianchew and Wenqi a round of applause... Banzai! Banzai!

State Your Views: MLM

Welcome all, thanks for following up with the Black Book Online though the site is showing signs of becoming dormant soon... BUT.. it's ALIVE again! It's coming back and now with a new section too. Beginning from this week, this new column is going to appear at the right side (yes, the links located at the side) and it's called "State Your Views". "State Your Views" is a debating corner where all members can write in their comments to state how they feel and what they see in the latest topic being debated. So... let's start the program and this week (yes, the first week), Professor Dr. Alex Q. has written in to us with the following topic...

The Topic:
"Personally, I feel that MLM can be a good form of business start up but it must be with the right mentality but not being too obsessed with the system of recruiting downline to earn commission from their sales. It more on the sales on the product or service the company provides. Maybe u can go on to write why u feel this way"

Happy debating if you got anything to point out... cheers

Teachings of Reverend Tan

Looking back at the years, I realise that I haven't in anyway, achieve true happiness. I was sad, lost and I do not know how my life should go on. Sitting beside the Teban reservoir, I sat and pondered over my purpose in life.

It was this moment the Great Reverend Tan, who was on his way to the WEST, saw me and decided to enlighten me in my quest for true happiness. Reverend Tan sat beside me, and begin to talk to me. I spent a few hours listening to the great Reverend Tan. Although he occasionally make funny noises and he is really long winded, I can sense that he has great wisdoms. As he speaks, I begin to understand what Happiness, to the Buddhists are....

In buddhism, to understand wat is happiness, we must first understand wat is sufferings. Buddhism catergorised sufferings into 8 main types.

1. Human. As long as you're human, you will have feelings. Feelings of hatred, jealousy or sexual desires etc. When u have feelings, you will suffer. (if you hate someone, u urself don't feel good right? That's suffering)

2. Birth. when giving birth, you are giving a new life and that is human. So when u give birth to a baby, u're imbuing feelings into him as well...that's suffering

3. Old aged. When u get old, u suffer...no explanation required

4. Sickness. No need to explain too

5. Death. Idiot-proof

6. Separation. Separation from your love ones makes u suffere

7. Unwanted happenings. Things u do not want to happen, happened will make u suffer. for eg, you do not want to argue with ppl over how u manage ur stuffs, yet you did. Ahhhh...sufferings

8. Unfufilled desires. Can't get wat u desire, sufferings too. For eg. u want her love...but u don't get it...u suffered and start writing in ur diary how u suffered.

So once u understand wat is suffering, u will understand wat is happiness. And buddhism believes it's the end of these sufferings. Meaning to say, Once u destroy all ur sufferings, you'll get true happiness. So how to destroy ur sufferings? We must look at the cause of sufferings first. The causes are mainly 2 kinds....Our body and our heart. Without a body, we won't die, we won't get sick, we won't give birth etc. And without our heart, we won't have desires or feelings that will cause us to suffer. So, in order to gain happiness, we must destroy our body and heart!!!! Yeah it sounds stupid but the destroy is actually not wat we meant literally. Reverend Tan offer 3 ways to destroy your body and heart...

1) Looking at the sky. Find a place, where u can look at the sky without any obstructions. then spent abt 15 mins looking at the clear sky. Ignore watever birds aeroplanes or clouds that fly past. if ur eyes are tired, u can close it but ur mind still 'looks' at the sky. While u are looking at it, U must think that the sky is so big. The sky is infinite...wat are u compare to the sky. If the sky is 1, you must be 0.00000000000000~001. and where u round off, you are zero. So u doesn't really exist in this world cos u are so small and puny. When u think this way or u are enlightened, you will realise that ur body and ur heart are actually the nature...and nature is ur body and ur heart. In this way, you lost your body and your heart.

2) Sitting. Spent 15 mins to sit down in a quiet environment. While sitting, your mind must be thinking. Think of wat? think of ur body. First, think of skin. Your skin is matter...and according to Albert Einistern, Energy = Mass X square of speed of light. So in other words, your skin which possess mass, is energy. Then, think of wat is beneath ur skin...ur flesh is made of matter too...meaning to say, they are energy as well. Then ur bones...heart..liver...u'll realise that your whole body is made of energy. Then think outside....The floor that you're sitting on is also matter...also energy...then use the power of ur mind and think of everything that u know of...they are all matter...and they are all energy...So when u're enlightened, you will realise that everything is energy which is nature. Nature is u...and u are nature. So ur body and ur heart doesn't really exist...it's all part of nature....

3) The art of giving In buddhism, it divide 'giving' into 3 kinds

a) Material needs. Giving money, shelter, food and other material needs.

b) Knowledge. Passing down knowledge or showing a person the correct path is the gift of knowledge.

c) Security. To take away ppl's fear. For eg. a dying patient is afraid..cos he's dying. A nurse comfort him, that's the gift of security.

The perfection of the art of giving requires u to fufilled 4 requirements

a) Giving without any attached conditions

b) Giving not bcos of selfish reasons.

c) Giving without asking for any returns

d) Do not discriminate when u give.

Once u perfect the art of giving, it shows that u don't care for urself. u care for everyone bcos everyone is equal, everyone is nature, and nature is everyone...ahh, you're enlightened and u'll find that ur body and heart are not urs...and therefore it's the end of ur sufferings and u get ur happiness. That's abt all. When it's quite hard to understand perhaps but this is based on the buddhism theory of emptiness. " KONG JI SI SE...SE JI SI KONG". Yeah that KONG is the emptiness i am talking abt. Hope everyone can be enlightened by the Great WC Reverend Tan....

Regards
