‘Chicken Rice’ was the Oxford English Dictionary Word of the Day on our National Day yesterday (https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/82932046)
The first citation given by the OED for the phrase is from a 1950 Straits Times advertisement for Swee Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant. I remember Swee Kee fondly. It used to be at Middle Road, but sadly closed in 1997.
Hawker food is central to our multicultural identity and a big part of our everyday life. It was a proud moment for us all when Hawker Culture was inscribed as Singapore’s first element on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on 16 December 2020.
Dining-in resumes today. I hope you continue to support our hawkers during this difficult period. If you are eating at a hawker centre, please remember to practise safe distancing and return your trays.
What is your chicken rice order? Skinless steamed breast meat is healthier, but I prefer the thigh meat and the spare parts! – LHL

I miss the British colonial days.
【#迷上英式英文】英女皇的電視演說
蕭叔短評:This will go down in history as one of the best speeches ever to have graced the English language.
This is the power of language. It’s more than just beautiful words and carefully crafted sentences. It’s also about having the empathy to understand what your audience needs at this moment, and what you, in your unique position, can deliver.
這一段寫得尤其好:
"I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge, and those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any, that the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country."
蕭叔叔
PS:聽還聽,女士們最好唔好學她發音,尤其是vowels。除了老一輩的英國皇室或貴族,正常英國人(即使是受過高等教育的)不會這樣說話。請另找模仿對象。
演說全文:
I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time. A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.
I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all. I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times.
I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.
I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country. The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.
The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud its care and essential workers will be remembered as an expression of our national spirit; and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn by children.
Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbours, or converting businesses to help the relief effort.
And though self-isolating may at times be hard, many people of all faiths, and of none, are discovering that it presents an opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect, in prayer or meditation.
It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister. We, as children, spoke from here at Windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety. Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do.
While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This time we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavour, using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal. We will succeed - and that success will belong to every one of us.
We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.
But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all.

#女王廣播全文 可能我們這些出生在九七前的殖民遺孤,餘毒未清。總在大時大節,國難當前聽到The Queen's boardcast 心裡會安定一些。
雖然今日 #事頭婆 不再是 香港的 事頭婆,但聽慣了吧。Xi(習,音似She)沒發言嗎?不,Xi三日兩頭,總在你耳邊吟吟噚噚、囉囉嗦嗦,又什麼決定,堅決什麼,打造什麼。好似北京後海,上海新天地的妙齡少女,吱吱喳喳吵過不停

但每每聽到Xi(She)時,都會想起Her Majesty的。
無計的,同前度一起一百五十年,這位Her做Her Majesty都做了68年。最後,我們更是和平分手。臨走前女王留下大量財產,完善制度,及漂亮的維港。雖然 Xi(She)作為新歡都不錯,但勞碌工作過後,不少港人都總會搭飛機去Her處,飲碗湯食個飯,休息下。
充完電,回家,打開門就見到新歡的「妹仔」阿月娥。唉。
舊愛不如新歡?邊有咁簡單。

How Would You Escape North Korea? (The 7 Choices): https://youtu.be/6A0ZOkMDLw0
10 Things You Didn’t Know About FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER: https://youtu.be/HpOG4WFKBZQ
-----------------------
10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE 2011 JAPANESE TSUNAMI & TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE
(TOHOKU DISASTER) 東北地方太平洋沖地震 (March 11th)
The most powerful earthquake ever recorded to have hit Japan. A 9.0 magnitude. This of course triggered a massive tsunami that wrecked the north eastern coastline.
Japan was simply not as prepared as they thought they were for such a disaster. If that wasn’t bad enough, there was a Level 7 nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant comparable to Chernobyl.
1) Every 800 to 1100 Years
From analysing the Holocene sequence in the Sendai area, it’s known that sometime between 1000 BC and 500 BC, a massive tsunami-generating earthquake hit the area.
Then in 1 AD, it hit again.
Over 800 years later, The Sanriku Earthquake and Tsunami of 869, devastated the same area in and around Sendai.
That’s 3 events of similar type and magnitude in the same region all in the last 3000 years. This indicates a recurrence interval of 800 to 1100 years. We were due another one...
2) Antarctic Ice
Seismic waves increased the flow of the Whillans Ice Stream in Antarctica, which is essentially a moving ice river. Sea waves, having traveled 13,000 km broke icebergs the size of Manhattan off the Sulzberger Ice Shelf.
3) Planetary Changes
The Earth’s axis shifted by 10 to 25 cm, which changed the tilt of the planet and the length of a day-. That’s right; the redistribution of Earth’s mass shortened our day by almost two microseconds.
4) Costliest Natural Disaster
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, $15 billion
The 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, $20.7 billion
Hurricane Katrina in 2005, $45 billion
The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China, $148 billion
The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan? Over $300 billion
5) Gaman
In Japan, immediately following the earthquake, there was a notable lack of disorder.
People remained calm despite having every right to freak out. They formed orderly lines outside supermarkets even though they were desperate for food. This act of civility is due to what the Japanese call, Gaman.
Gaman means to do one’s best in times of distress, to maintain self control and discipline. There is a national desire to see civility prevail, no matter the circumstances, even when one catastrophe piles onto another.
6) Yakuza Crime Syndicate
Members of the Yakuza, Japan’s organised crime syndicate, helped enforce order on the streets.
7) North Korean Assist
North Korea donated a $100,000 US to the Japanese Red Cross Society, and the late former leader Kim Jong-Il himself sent half a million dollars to Korean residents in Japan caught up in the disaster.
8) Celebrity Aid
All around the world, many celebrities privately donated to the relief effort, including Hikaru Utada, Gackt, AKB48, Girls’ Generation, Jackie Chan, Clint Eastwood, Sandra Bullock, Gwen Stefani, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, My Chemical Romance, and Lady Gaga.
9) Ghost Passengers
Police have received hundreds of reports from people who have apparently seen ghosts in tsunami-devastated towns. Taxi drivers in particular have reported picking up ghost passengers.
10) Vindicated Mayor
Wamura became the mayor of Fudai, and in 1972, he started construction on a 15.5 meter floodgate. The total cost was 3.56 billion yen. Many residents as well as the village council felt a floodgate of that size was unnecessary. It was reckless spending from a foolish mayor.
The Tohoku tsunami destroying towns along the north eastern coast. Fudai, however, was spared. Wamura’s floodgate had prevented much of the water from coming in. He had saved the town that had doubted him.
Today, Kotaku Wamura is remembered as a hero, the saviour of Fudai.

Vietnam's famous island, Phu Quoc, has a lot to offer.
Most people will come for its beautiful beaches along some spectacular coastline. My friends and I rented motorbikes (the best way to ger around the island) and we rode to the Phu Quoc Prison aka the Coconut Prison. This was where the French and Americans would keep and torture political prisoners. Lots of surreal and gut wrenching imagery there, but well worth the visit.
Then I found myself on Phu Quoc's many beaches. I forgot which one. Maybe Long Beach somewhere. Either way, it was beginning to get dark. The best and only place to go during night time is the Phu Quoc Night Market. This i where you'll have a chance to try some delicious and fresh seafood. The common items were on par, like the octopus was really refined. However, once I decided to fork oer 25 dollars for a a baby shark. It turned out to be the most disgusting ammonia based thing I've ever eaten.
The next day we went to see Phu Quoc dogs. These are Vietnam's pride and joy, a rarely rare and unique breed of ridge-back dogs native to the island. I went to a zoo, circus, and even a cemetery of these dogs. Then I went to a boring pepper farm, another export that Phu Quoc is famous for. Then I went to Phu Quoc's National Park and that walk was pretty boring too. I've been spoiled by many jungle and forest experiences. Then I hired a boat for night time squid fishing, a popular activity at Phu Quoc. Unfortunately, once the crew started catching squid, I got terribly seasick and the boat had to dock shortly after. The three hour trip was cut short to 20 minutes.
And I stayed at the Castaways Resort
