Trip to Dubai

I have a business trip to Dubai next month and my friend who frequently travels to Dubai suggested that I should book my hotel room at Le Royal Meridien Dubai beach resort in Dubai. He said that he always enjoy his stay in this hotel. He said that the hotel staff service is outstanding and always ready to help and assist you.

So I tried to do a research on the internet about Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort. Travel advisory sites had constantly given high ratings for this hotel. It really seems a good idea to book my room at Le Royal Meridian. So I do further research and learned that the hotel is set in landscaped gardens overlooking the clear blue water of the Arabian Gulf. Located 20 minutes from the city centre, 10 minutes from the Jebel Ali Free Zone and 5 minutes from the famous Emirates Golf Course, it is within easy reach of all tourist and business facilities.

The hotel comprises of 500 luxurious rooms and suites. All of the rooms feature balconies offering stunning views overlooking the Marina or the Sea. It also offers an excellent range of recreation and leisure activities, with luxury spa treatments including a state of the art gym and aerobic center. Other facilities at the resort include floodlit tennis courts, squash courts, swimming pools and a water sports centre offering windsurfing, kayaks and deep sea fishing. The resort also has 14 restaurants and bars to choose from.
Hhhhmmm, with all the information I gathered, I really had high expectations of this hotel and would definitely stay here on my trip.

Leaving Hong Kong behind in Tai O

Photo credit: Flickr/Dennis Wong

The stilt-house community of Tai O on Lantau Island is known as the Venice of the Orient, but let’s be honest. It’s nothing like the opulent Italian city.

Tai O, once Hong Kong’s biggest fishing community, was ravaged by fires, floods and typhoons in recent years, and it shows.

The community’s derelict pang uk (Cantonese for stilt-houses) look like they were built with whatever villagers could scavenge -- broomsticks, Styrofoam boxes, bits of nylon netting. Houses some distance away from the main street have broken windows. Barefooted grannies play majong on balconies overlooking the canal, their front doors flung wide open.

For some, this is Tai O’s charm. It is the antithesis of the city landscape and is a throwback to Hong Kong’s past as a simple fishing village.

Drinking Water at the Correct Time

I got this from my email and it's really true that we need to maintain our daily water intake and the correct timing of drinking water would definitely increase the effectiveness of water to help in the proper functioning of our internal organs.

Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body:

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs

1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion

1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure

1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

The Mayonnaise Jar And Coffee

Just want to share this interesting article I got from my email.

THE MAYONNAISE JAR AND COFFEE
Author : Unknown

“ When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar . . . and the coffee.”

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with an unanimous "yes.―


The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

"The golf ballsare the important things -your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions –things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

"The pebblesare the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.

"The sandis everything else-the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

"The same goes for life. "If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. ―Play with your children. "Take time to get medical checkups. "Take your partner out to dinner.‖

"There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. "Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.―

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffeerepresented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.

"It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
