又去食下午茶，今次係又一城嘅Tea WG Salon & Boutique。去嘅其中一個原因，係思鄉病發。 第一次去曼谷就見到佢。
雖然佢有好多款Tea Set選擇，但係二人餐，就只有一款，唔係平日嗰款寶石套餐，而係summer tea set for 2，帳面係貴少少，但係$488同$528 ，實在分別唔大。
鹹點四款，細細件，但係各有特色。甜品精緻，亦都顏色艷麗。馬卡龍脆口美味，而鬆餅味道都唔錯，搽上whipped cream同埋茶味啫喱，非常配合，最值得讚嘅就係夠熱。大部份食物都透着淡淡茶香，如果環境可以設計得清雅啲，就更有一種清幽氣氛。
呢度亦唔會趕你走，我見好多枱客我坐低嘅時候已經食完咁滯，到我走佢哋仲喺度影緊相，確實有好多打卡位。但係我係真心想食嘢嘅，所以食完就走。算幾滿足。
不過唔知點解我明明中國人樣，佢都俾份英文餐牌我！而好多侍應都唔識講中文， 我見好幾枱客，都要嗰位講廣東話姐姐逐項介紹，真係辛苦晒啊！

(English writing below)
上星期天，我到一間小花圃做春節直播。
以我的慣例，我如果用到店家的地方，我都會買些東西，不佔他人做生意的便宜。
那天開直播前，本想通知店員一聲，但因為急著在一個時間點前結束，忘得一乾二淨，就有勞我師兄去物色購買適合的盆景。
當時有三位員工 - 兩位華族女子，一位異族外勞男子。
開播到一半時，男員工看到我先生的手機正播映著我的直播。
「哇！這是現場直播嗎？」他很興奮地問我先生，「在哪裡可以看？」
「你可以在臉書看。」
男員工二話不說，拿出手機，開啟臉書應用程序，請我先生為他找出我的臉書。先生輸入我的名字後，接下來就更好笑了。
我當時毫不知情，因為專注在直播。
結束後，我翻看按讚名單時，還想著怎麼會有異族朋友的名字。後來，先生才告訴我事情的來龍去脈。
昨天在剪輯直播，想這星期上傳到Youtube時，才發現那位男員工還向我鏡頭揮手，並展示播放著我直播的手機螢幕。😂
雖然我全程都說著華語，但想必他應該或多或少都聽得懂吧！
這畫面非常有趣，因為幾天前，一位女讀者來訊詢問我批八字的收費。（我服務的收費都列在：www.qianyu.sg/consultations 有中文網頁功能）
這女讀者說，我影片裡的資訊非常準確及珍貴。
我感謝她告訴我，因為我沒有印象在臉書互動裡看過她的名字。
她說她害羞。
這讓我想起另一位女客人，也曾說過類似的話。她說她一向很低調，所以雖然獲益匪淺，但從沒想過要按讚。
我問她：
萬一我寫了那麼多，卻得不到觀眾按讚的肯定，以致我放棄寫作與拍片呢？
她沒回答我。
我笑說，我雖不會因此而放棄，因為我曾經發過願，我也會用我的一生去履行我的發願。
但是，只拿不給，非君子所為，而是自私自利。 我也是人，自然也會需要認同感，尤其是寫的又是一些較另類的課題。
給予鼓勵是一種善行，也是一種感謝，無論是通過按讚、留言、分享，或告訴我。
直接與我貼文互動的好處是有時，可以利益其他比我們更需要這訊息的人。
打從我在去年六月底每星期更新Youtube影片後，我收到的詢問也多了。這些詢問當中，好一些是因為他們的臉書朋友分享了我的影片，而認識我。
他們的臉書朋友並不知道他們來找我服務。
畢竟，我們不會向全世界公佈我們的貼身問題。很多時候，向一個陌生人傾述你的問題，比向朋友訴苦還有用，因為那位陌生人有解決你問題的能力。
我在網路寫作已有三年半的時間，看過數百人。表面上看來是我在幫助人，但如大聖佛陀所言，眾生讓我們實踐自己的修行，幫助我們開悟成佛的人。
這是個互相利益的循環。
見的人越多，我越覺得娑婆世界如浮雲，終究沒有任何人事物是自己的。
寫作拍片越多，自己的思維與志向越明確。
我看到到因果的可怕，不想要我客人那般的命運，因此我更加謹言慎行。我親眼目睹貪、嗔、痴如何能毀掉一個人的人生，所以我打開自己的心房，學習把大愛放送出去，放下不利益他人的固執想法。
因此，感謝妳、你、您幫助我成為一個更好的人，幫我找到我的人生目標。這輩子，我從來沒有做一件事那麼開心過，我也想要一生就這樣做下去。
希望我也能幫助到你，盼你也能幫到別人。

So last Sunday, I went to a plant stall to do a CNY Live.
As per my usual practice, I would always buy something from the shop if I use its premises. I don’t take advantage of other people’s businesses.
That day, I wanted to preempt the plant stall staff but in my haste to start my Live, I plain forgot about it. So the husband went about looking for a plant to buy on my behalf.
There were about three staff - two ladies and the gentleman standing behind me in this photo.
Halfway through my Live, the male staff saw the handphone screen of the Husband’s.
“Wah! It’s Live ah?” He excitedly asked the husband. “How to see?!”
“You can see on Facebook!”
The staff whipped out his mobile phone and opened the Facebook app. Then the husband typed in my profile name and what followed next was comical.
I wasn’t aware as I was very focused on presenting to my Live audience.
After the Live ended, I looked through the list of Likes to see who engaged with my video.
And I was wondering why there were some foreign names.
Then the husband told me what transpired.
Yesterday while editing the Live for my Youtube upload this week, I realised at one point in time, the staff also waved to my camera and flashed his handphone screen of my Live. 😂
I bet he somewhat understood what I said, despite it being in Mandarin.
It was an interesting moment because few days ago, a lady PM me to inquire about my Bazi consultation fee. (It’s all listed at www.qianyu.sg/consultations btw)
She told me the information in my videos were accurate and valuable.
I thanked her for telling me because I had never seen her name appeared in my engagement list.
She told me she was shy.
This reminded me of a Bazi client who told me the same thing. That client said she had always been low profile, so she did not think to Like my posts even though she benefitted from it.
I told the client:
But what if I stopped writing and filming because I received no or little affirmation from the audience?
She didn’t answered me.
I laughed and said I would not stop because I had made an aspiration in the past. I had made it my lifetime goal to keep my words.
But to be only taking and not giving is always selfish. I am human. And humans always need to feel belonged in one way or another. Even more so when I am writing about unorthodox topics.
Giving encouragement is a form of kindness and showing appreciation, be it through post engagements or telling me now.
The good thing about direct post engagement is that it benefits others, who may need the message more than us.
Since I started weekly uploads to YouTube in June, a lot more queries come in every month. A number of them know me, due to their FB friends sharing my videos on their timeline.
Thing is, their FB friend does not have a clue that they watched my video and came to seek my service.
We don’t go around telling the whole world our problems, you see.
Sometimes, it’s easier to tell a stranger who has the solutions, than a friend who can only tell you to think about happier things.
I have been posting online for 3.5 years and have met hundreds of people. Perhaps to you, it seems that I am helping people.
But like what Buddha says, the sentient beings are here to help us actualise our spiritual practice, to attain enlightenment and Buddhahood.
It is a reciprocal cycle. The more people I see, the more I realise how transient this Samsara world is. The more I write and film, the clearer I am in my thinking and aspirations.
I don't wish to have the kind of destinies I deal with, so I am more careful in my doings and thoughts. I see first-hand how greed, ignorance and anger can kill people, so I have opened up my heart to give out more love and let go of stubborn beliefs that benefit no one.
So thank you to you, you and you for helping me to be a better person and giving me a holy purpose in this life. I have never been happier in my entire lifetime and I want to do this for as long as I live.
I hope I can do the same for you, so that you will do the same for others too.

京都│吃喝買集一身。「蔬食」咖啡館
Mumokuteki Cafe在京都市錦市場附近，一樓是賣服飾的，二樓才是咖啡館，地方非常無敵大，還劃分了一區為「家庭間」。除了吃，還寄賣了一些健康食品。
這家店有一道料理必點 ─ 蔬菜豆漿拉麵〈豬骨風味〉，拉麵湯底非常濃郁，喝了兩口，被嚇到了，因為真的太像豬骨湯，一度懷疑我是不是吃到肉了，真沒有誇大喔~
還有一個我很愛的 ─ 豆漿咖啡冰沙，到現在還是很想念裡面的豆漿奶油，它使整杯冰沙非常順滑！我其實還點了意大利燴飯、炸薯條、蒲公英咖啡等，但是我和旅伴都爭著要吃豬骨拉麵和冰沙 🤣
Mumokuteki Cafe雖被稱為「蔬食」咖啡館，但我也提醒過大家，不同國家對蔬食的定義皆不同，在日本，有些店家認為「魚」也是素〈個人而言，魚是有感覺的物種，是生命〉，這家咖啡館有些料理是含有魚湯、魚精、魚露等。但店家很貼心地在菜單裡都標示清楚，而且分別有中文和英文菜單呢！

Mumokuteki Cafe is located near the Nishiki Market in Kyoto City Center. The first floor is for selling clothes and accessories. The second floor is a cafe. The place is extremely big. It even divided a "family room" in the middle of the cafe. Besides having food in the cafe, they sell some health products too.
This cafe has a must-eat dish -Veg Soya Milk Ramen Noodles in Soup (pork bone flavor), the ramen soup is very rich, after drinking a bit, I was scared, because it tastes like real pork bone soup too much, I was wondering if I had eaten meat~
There is also a Expresso Frappe that I love very much. I still miss the soya milk whipped cream inside, it makes the whole drink very smooth! I actually ordered Risotto, French Fries, Dandelion Coffee, etc., but my companions and I are vying to eat pork bone ramen and Expresso Frappe.
Although Mumokuteki Cafe is known as the "veg" cafe, I have been reminded everyone that the definition of veg/vegan/vegetarian is different in different countries. In Japan, some people think that "FISH" is also a veg food. (For me, FISH is a species that has feelings, it is live) Some dishes in this cafe contain fish soup, fish essence, fish sauce and so on. But the owner is very attentive that marked in the menu, and there are also both Chinese and English menus!
