Forte. or as Dr House calls it 'mojo'. In his case, it is his ability to diagnose his patients illnesses'. Everyone has their strongest point or specialty. Some are lucky enough to discover them at an early age. Sometimes I wonder how people discover theirs. Is it by trial and error like how parents send their children to all the swimming classes, music lessons and ballet classes? Or by chance? ( You mean you just stumble upon it? But how?)
Some are just talented dancers and musicians than others. We like to say they are born to do it. Sometimes, it is like a phenotype expressed from the person's genes. For example, like father, like son or like mother, like daughter. It just runs in the family.
And then, there is another issue; do you do things that you are good at and then like doing it or your passion doing it makes you eventually good at it? In short, forte followed by liking or passion followed by good at doing it.
Sometimes too, you feel like you are losing your 'mojo'. Then, you start thinking if your 'mojo' is really your 'mojo'. Let me tell you. If you have found your 'mojo', it is not going to go anywhere. It is where you left it.
On another note, I have watched 'The Other Guys' and 'Precious'. 'The Other Guys' is a comedy movie about two detectives trying to be the next police heroes in town. It has some unpredictable jokes but in my opinion, not worth the money. 'Precious' on the other hand is a great movie. I first knew about it when I watched the Oscar Awards where it bagged the Best Supporting Actress award.

COME ON!
"The world is coming to an end."
"How to win when I am trailing by so many points?"
"What a unlucky day!"
Often times, we feel down and out. All around us is just darkness. There is no hope, no love, no whatever-it-is-that-you-hold-on-to-in-life.
OH, COME ON! What is this that you are thinking about? Such pessimism. Such negative thinking. Better throw them away in the dustbin. So what if you are down and out? There are so many other people out there who are more unfortunate, who are in worse conditions. Even if there is no miracle (actually there is, look at the Chilean miners, what an inspiration), you mean you are incapable of standing back up on your feet and working hard to achieve success? If other people can do it, why can't you? As the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens. This is life. There is a reason for everything to happen. Just shed a few tears and start over =)
I find the phrase 'COME ON!' rather motivational and helpful. Many athletes shouts the phrase out to drive themselves on. They have done it for uncountable times; this just prove that it is effective. They believe in themselves. They know that the matches are very important and strive for victory. Athletes have such high mentality that I really salute them.
So, fret not people. Work hard and good times will be yours. ;) COME ON!

Ironing...
The other day, I had to iron my pair of formal attire without suitable 'tools', i.e. no ironing board, no water spray. And the iron was the smallest iron I have ever encountered in my life. So, I had to improvise. Did the ironing on the bed and scooping water out of container and sprinkle on the shirt. The material of the shirt did not help much either. I took up to an hour just to iron two pieces of clothes! Can you believe it?!

Lunch at Victoria Station
I always love hanging out with my family when my parents came down to KL. It is time well spent. So, about a fortnight ago ( if I am not mistaken), we had our lunch at Victoria Station, Taipan. Since it was quite late in the afternoon, we were the only customers there. Nevertheless, we had a great meal. =)
I like the interior design of it. Really gives you a feel that you are at an old railway station, like those depicted in old movies. We sat at one of the tables in a coach.
