Square Is The New Trend

Before it was the square watermelon



Even the pyramid watermelon



And now, a square melon



The melons are framed in square steel cases when they are small, although it is difficult to produce clear meshed skin, a symbol of quality.

Buddha's Day Festival

Here are some pics I took from the Vesak Festival at Fed Square. There were singing, hip-hop dance, barongsai dance, breakdance and traditional dance. I'm not quite fond with the hip-hop and breakdance as it loses it's meaning of the true meaning of Vesak day.

Like a Vintage

Anyone who might want to tell Madonna to put a cork in it will find some merriment in her latest venture. Madge has turned winemaker, teaming up with Napa Valley's Celebrity Cellars to put her disco-diva-under-the-glitterball image on a batch of Californian wines, The Confessions range, with artwork based on her latest hit album, Confessions On A Dance Floor, includes cabernet sauvignon, pinot grigio and the non-alcoholic UnWine.

Kit Kat Sakura

Something caught my eyes when I was reading newspaper this morning and that is the new Kit Kat Sakura. Apparently, Japanese take the arrival of spring very seriously, with all kinds of special seasonal sweets. But it's Kit Kat that really get into the spirit of Spring therefore they created Kit Kat Sakura, a gummy-pink cherry blossom-flavoured variety which is sweeter than other variety. Sadly, it is only available in Japan unless if you really want to try it, I suggest you check the Ebay =P

There are also many variety of Kit Kat and you can check it out here.

Quarterlife Crisis

Sure we all heard about mid-life crisis, but now we have what we called quarterlife crisis which happens to people between 18 and 28.

What is it? A fast-tracked midlife crisis for those aged between 18 and 28. Life suddenly seems serious, youth's use-by date is looming and success isn't always within easy reach.

Why does it occur? A major flashpoint is the completion of school or university and entry into the workforce. Quarterlifers have been students forever, then suddenly they're on the cusp of adulthood without an instruction manual, wrangling boring or baffling real-world stuff like a household budget, superannuation, office politics and career instability. Personal relationships are also in flux, once removed from the cosseting and contextualising arenas of school or colleger. The overall effect can be ennui, dissapointment, insecurity and mild existensial alarm.

Is it serious? The quarterlife crisis is at the philosophical midpoint between a nine-year-old's "I'm bored" and a 45-year-old's "What does it all mean?" It's no laughing matter, but good advice and a reality check (and possibly a new pair of designer jeans) will often send quarterlifers off with a spring in their step.

Who coined it? According to Wikipedia, the term has been around since 1998, but it gained currency when Quarterlife Crisis by Alexandra Robbins and Abby Wilner hit The New York Times bestseller list in 2001. Another key text is Amy Joyce's I went to College for this?: How to Turn Your Entry Level Job Into a Career You Love.
