KINDNESS IS THE GREATEST

WRITTEN BY DS
What traits should we look for in a friend or a spouse? Probably a person who is beautiful/handsome, humorous, witty, smart, interesting, compatible, etc.
What I will consider to be the best trait to look for is KINDNESS.

A REVOLVING LUNCH

Today, DS and I were at the Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant for lunch, for the first time. Established since 1977, this is an award-winning Chinese restaurant, and one of the two only revolving restaurants in Singapore.
A warm welcome by Hong Hong Master Chef Chan Song Og at the entrance of the restaurant… Just kidding, it [...]

礼让

我不常搭巴士， 一个星期大概两次。
每一次上巴士， 我都会对司机先生说声谢谢。 我认为这是对司机先生的一种基本礼貌。 很多时候， 司机先生总是不理不睬的。我也不是很在意。 但是偶尔会遇到会“回礼”的司机。 他们或许点个头、又或许微微一笑。 今晚就是一个例子。
从巴士站走回家的路上， 遇到一位迎面而来、骑着脚单车的中年男士。 小心翼翼的中年男士马上停下来让路给我。当我向他说声谢谢时，他脸带笑容、点点头并很有礼貌的说声“不谢”。我顿时感到很开心。已不记得有多久没有遇到这么有礼貌的人了。虽然只是一个小小的动作，一句很简单的“不谢”，中年男士为人着想、礼让的态度， 除了令我敬佩，也是值得大家（包括我自己）多多的学习的。
我想， 要是我们每个人都能够以礼待人，多为人着想， 这个社会一定会是更温馨、更优雅的。
我很希望国人在乘搭巴士、地铁时也多多为人着想，多多体现礼让的态度， 不要总是争先恐后的。

Long ago, I had taken the stand that evolution is flawed, and the intelligent design or divine creation story in the first two chapters of Genesis in [...]
