My Random Daily Life

Before we know it, Robot Kitty is coming to Singapore the day after tomorrow. Kyaa!!! Aren't you guys excited for the cute robot? Right, this post happens to cover the last portion of Sanrio Robotics Institute, where Robot Kitty is developed and created. So, yeah, this is the most important area in Sanrio Robotics Institute, the Lab.

Right, judging from the name, I should have known I probably should not have eating alone at Monster Curry. But there is queue everywhere else and I lazy to queue...hahaha. 

Lie, you were initially going for Cafe Benne...

Oh hello, you sarcasm-me. I did want to go to Cafe Benne but they were having some problem with the system and hence refusing entry for all customers. Bah. 

And there is no queue at Monster Curry. Hehe.

Okay, fine. So how big is this Monster Curry?

For a start, the plate is big but portion wise...I think it turns out to be pretty much, okay? Omg, I am probably a glutton. Oh by the way, this cheese chicken curry cutlet is good, yum. 

Ah funny stare, what we, the solo-diners, dread the most. Thankfully everybody is too busy digging into their curry (including myself) so I consider Monster Curry as an okay place for solo-diners. You are not expected to linger and chill around after your meal though, especially if the queue has formed outside the restaurant. 

Human tend to look for the mighty, the powerful, the wise whenever they are faced with a challenge. It is so easy to think that we can't do it when we feel we don't have enough capability to handle the challenge. But, that's not what God thinks. There are 4 stories in the Bible where God use what the world considers weak, foolish and even useless to do extraordinary things. 

(1) Moses' rod

Moses performed a lot of miracles (including splitting the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross) with a simple rod. And with the same rod, he confounded the might of Pharaoh.

(2) The little boy's five loaves and two fish

With this little boy's humble lunch, Jesus fed 5,000 men (plus women and children which number is not even counted), and his disciples gathered 12 baskets full of leftovers. This is one heck of a buffet. 

(3) The jawbone of an ass

Samson slew a thousand Philistines, who were the enemies of God's people with a mere jawbone. The movie 300 does not seem so extraordinary anymore compared to God's works in Samson. 

(4) Five stones and a sling

David, the shepherd boy, brought down Goliath with five stones and a sling. Mind you, Goliath is a giant and the mightiest Philistine champion during those days. 

"But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty."

~ 1 Corinthians 1:27

One thing that you can develop from your visit at Robot Kitty is definitely your creativity aspect. If you buy the Robot Kitty, you will be given a chance to decorate your robot kitty with a unique component and that's why a visit to the component department is very important here. 

I decided to write this post after I heard the same comment again and again from my married friends. Oh right, for your information, I am still single so yeah, this sound like an advice from the married friends. Both of them saying that I should do whatever I want (including chasing my dream) right now before I get married. I don't know why but I can't help but feeling something is not really right about this. But, I guess the reasons of why these lovely married people decide to give up or postpone chasing their dream are not really different from my reason as a single person:

1. Monetary constraint

There are simply more important things to pay in our life at the moment. Mortgage is the biggest killer I suppose. And while my friend really wants to pursue her passion in theatre, from her hubby's point of view, he may feel very insecure if his wife pursuing this passion (which of course, comes with money spent, ka-ching) instead of earning extra money. The hubby hasn't asked her to share the burden of the mortgage yet, so I guess he's just trying to a safety net for both of them (in case he's being let off, etc). Sad, but money is kinda a bitch here. 

2. Time constraint

If our dream must be learnt not by doing 9 - 6 job, that means we have to allocate extra time to learn it. But what if we have children to take care of once we reach our home everyday? This will cut your me-time considerably and hence, pose a time constraint for you to learn the necessary skill to chase your dream. 

3. Energy constraint

You simply don't feel that you have enough strength to do what you dream about maybe 10 years ago. This may be applicable when your dream involves some physical activity like fitness instructor. 

Despite the constraints, I don't think dreams should say stagnant nor that they will die down easily. But, I guess it will be hard to keep the passion hot if the person who stay beside you all the time (i.e. your life partner) discourage you every time you talk about it. Maybe I should really do what I want to do now while I don't really have any constraint or find someone who will support my dream, no matter how silly they may sound. =P

Hello! How is everybody's Thursday? Weekend is just around the corner and soon it will be the opening day for Robot Kitty event at Suntec on 11th June. Continuing on our journey in Robot Kitty exhibition, we have finally arrived at the Quality Control section of Sanrio Robotics Institute (SRI).
