 Staying at the Alam Ubud Villas I chose to stay far away from the more popular places like Kuta, sanur....just to avoid the crowds....Ubud is about 1 - 1 1/2 hrs from the airport...giving me a very quiet, relaxing reflection retreat!!

Welcome by the villa's staff with flowers, a flower foot soak, and a refreshing drink...lemon grass and ginger....

The most talked about Reality Show in Hong Kong over the past 2 weeks ,  talking about 5 single girls who want to find a boy friend or eventually a husband, very entertaining and what they have done in the show is also very debating within the Hong Kong community, because while the show is actually projecting what is actually  happening : people tend to concentrate on the appearance of each individual  rather than other factors. The local  thinks that the show is promoting a wrong message.....

I my self I love the show since it's entertaining,  becos I have been trained by the Hollywood type  of Reality Show I know that this kind of show is actually not that real......and it also gives us  a chance to face the Reality  to re-evaluate the Value of life like which I've been told  since I was  kid...like people only appreciates or respects who looks good....... 

From the show:

"“When you don’t speak, you look like Central, but when you speak you look like Mongkok,” one woman is told. For those not familiar with the city, Central is a sophisticated business district, whereas Mongkok is a dense, chaotic neighborhood on the other side of the harbor."

I am touched by this picture I saw on a FB page about Filial Piety ....it's like a son looking after his old mom.....though no details of when and where this picture is taken....
