Coughing till can't sleep and lost of voice

I was sick 3 weeks ago. It start with a terrible sore throat. I went to see a doctor but was not cured even after taking the medicine. I went to see another doctor and was given a stronger antibiotic.

In the meantime, I was coughing the whole night through and wasn't able to sleep. So, I searched the internet for cures. Luckily I found the following video showing how to rid of night coughing by rubbing Vicks on my feet then wear socks over it at night. It works. I am grateful and would like too thank the writer :)

Dim Sun Restaurant with special self-serving


I went to this restaurant where it does not only have nice interior decorations but its unique method of letting you choose your own teapot, tea leaves (whatever amount you want) and add hot water yourself.
Very interesting. For more details at http://www.selinawing.com

How do we view happiness?

What's happiness?
To a small child- getting to eat a cone of ice-cream is happiness.
When he is a teenager, he'll say "Hah! its only ice-cream"
When he is a father, he'll say "Its only ice-cream, no big deal"
When he is in his late forties and fifties, ice-cream is just a trifle matter,he's got other more serious matters.

So, happiness is very subjective.
Happiness can be just momentarily,  depending on our feelings.

What makes you happy?
Think about it....... Think hard......
Lets share our stories.
Hehe, sharing also can bring happiness, right?

So, what say you?

Petra, Jordan- Wow,I feel like I'm in Indiana Jones movie!!

Petra was not hot nor cold in early Dec. 2012.  We wore thick clothes because there's occasional chilly winter wind. I love the weather. 
I manage to snap this on the way in.


Petra is one of the many spectacular historical sites in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Petra was taken over by the Roman Emprire 3,000 years ago and was the official trade route then. 


Petra suffered several earth quakes between 1BC and 8AD, as well as the most shattering in AD363.Petra was rediscovered by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. This site is so spectacular that it was featured in two movies that is Indiana Jonse and the Last Crusader. It was also known as the Red Rose City of Jordan. 





Need to walk about 2 kilometer to go in.  Its an enjoyable with beautiful scenes

Aah, A peek of the Treasury! Like gold shining through, awesome!!

The Treasury








There are layers of colourful rock formations, sandstone cliffs and caves. Its a whole township with many tombs, open spaces and even a theater . See video below

Dead Sea, Jordan- a trip worth all its salt

I just come back from touring Jordan in December 2011. I visited the Dead Sea! Had so much fun there. Before going into the sea, we can put mud on our face... Its like mud mask! So we got free mud facial. After that we stand in the sun for the mud to dry, but I was so excited that I quickly jump into the sea. 


"I am actually about 400 m below sealevel. The lowest point on earth, unbelievable!"  


The feeling was euphoria, awesome! I can float!! We (my friends in the same tour group) were all shouting, laughing and enjoying. Lying, floating in the water, with feet up in the air, hehe. Oh, I tried to dip my head into the water, and Oh dear! water gets into my eyes. Its very, very very salty, my eyes felt like burning.


My lips are also burning with pain because my lips were cracked earlier due to all the travelling in the desert.. 


Bearing the pain, I tried to stay as long as possible in the dead sea, which is about 15 minutes. Whatever, its really a fantastic experience!!!!


I hope I can go again, and this time I will stay longer and do some stunts in the water.





Brief description of Dead Sea:
Dead Sea is in the Jordan Valley and 55 km southeast of Amman. It is  one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the whole world. It is the lowest body of water on earth, the lowest point on earth, and the world's richest source of natural salts, hiding wonderful treasures that accumulated throughout thousands of years. It is the lowest point in the world at 394.6 m (1269 ft) below sea level.
