Art Deco architecture @ Napier

When visiting Napier earlier in Feb this yr, there is the famous Art Deco buildings that we should visit, or at least walk 1 round around their street to see the Art Deco buildings that are within walking distance in the city as plotted in the map above. (Add route to google map). We took the free method with the help of google, the paid method is you can buy a guide map for $15 or take a guided tour.

First stop is the fire station

Followed by the Public trust office

The Daily Telegraph building

Masonic hotel where you get different looks from different side of the building

The library

Australian Mutual Provident Society

The Waiapu church

Along the way you could see some interesting buildings and wall paintings too.

Finally if you do have a car, you can drive a while to the tobacco building as well

During Covid 19 period, if you are interested, you can use google street view to take a look at those places instead. As the chinese phrase says, 望梅止渴 ma. 🤣 since we cannot travel, can look at it to drench the thirst instead.

Business Network International

I went for one of my friends' Business Network International gathering today. It's actually quite interesting, although initially, I'm quite lost. But after some time, then ok le.

The only downside is that. 7.30am is really a tough timing to wake up and go for the meeting. I'm glad I'm there. I'm so blessed!

Understand Yourself through Fingerprints

Came across this company called wonderful minds, which my 2 friends shared with me about. It's actually a business opportunity where you can share with your friends, especially those that have kids. So that the kids after understanding themselves, can just learn through the most effective way so as maximize their learning ability from young. I've found out that all our 10 fingerprints added together form our learning map, if we do the full scan, it comes with a 22 page report telling us about our personality, learning style / pattern, are we left or right brain. I heard that the more of the same pattern we have, the more we are towards that characteristic. Somehow, my thumb has such a unique pattern that it was under none of the 4 main free info that I've got. So too bad for me. Actually, I'm quite curious to find out more.. Here's the 4 main types of patterns for the fingerprint loops. The Arch: Possesses abundant, unlimited potential, high capacity to be moul

Taipei Trip Day 1

The morning flight is really very early, starting at 7.10am. Which means I need to wake up at around 3.45 - 4am! Amazingly, I'm the one that slept more but that's the photo of hardworking one vs the sleepy one :P So, who's the piggy here?
