Memo ~ 3-days-course detoxification a.k.a. body cleansing (7th Mac 2009)

So busy lately till no time to blog about my pastimes. Recently I've only made posts with links to some interesting videos. Well... could I be lazy nowadays to blog too?

Any idea when you see these many fruits on the table? It seems to be able to feed a whole family of 5 right? No, I alone would eat them all up! Yeap, I was having a 3-days long detoxification process by eating only fruits. And hell yeah that's a lot of fruits there (and I wasn't aware of how difficult it was to finish them later too).

So what did I have there? Just try to figure it out by looking at the picture. Among these, grapes and green pears turned out to be the most appetizing choices. While bananas made me more resistant to hunger over longer hours. Then... the papayas... oh geez... it still makes me sick just to think about it today :S The rest of it? Oranges, tomatoes, red and green apples, they simply presented to me with more colorful choices only. Not much help :(

So did I make it till the end? Nope... not this round. I gave up at the end of 2nd day and decided to get something hot to fill my stomach already. Next time I should think about something hot or warm to include in the menu too.

That's all for this time. Ya I'm still thinking to give it another try next time. Stay tuned...

Memo ~ First-ever visit to the National Monument (1st Mac 2009)

After born in Malaysia for 28 years, finally I had my 1st step on the historical ground of our National Monument (also known as "Tugu Negara" in Malaysia). I had been seeing it on our RTM for all this while. So I didn't really have any anticipation to see it again. After all, it's just another monument right? But then... I was wrong.

The National Monument... from distance.

The fron view of the gigantic monument.

Any idea how big it is? See the stick figures standing in front of it?

To remember those who sacrificed...

Another beautiful angle of the monument.

Funny joke ~ A hippy's misfortune

A hippy gets on a bus and spies a pretty young nun.

He sits down next to her, and asks her: 'Can we have sex ?'

'No,' she replies, 'I'm married to God.'

She then stands up, and gets off at the next stop.

The bus driver, who overheard, turns to the hippy and says 'I can tell you how to have sex with her !'

'Yeah?', says the hippy.

'Yeah', says the bus driver. 'She goes to the cemetery every Tuesday night at midnight to pray. So all you have to do is dress up in a robe with a hood, put some of that luminous powder stuff in your beard, and pop up in the cemetery claiming to be God'

The hippy decides to give it a try, and arrives in the cemetery dressed as suggested on the next Tuesday night.

'I am God,' he declares to the nun, keeping the hood low about his face, 'I have ordained it. You must have sex with me.'

The nun agrees without question, but begs him to restrict himself to anal sex, as she is desperate not to lose her virginity.

God agrees, and promptly has his wicked way with her.

As he finishes, he jumps up and throws back his hood with a flourish.

'Ha-ha!,' he cries. 'I am the hippy!'

'Ha-ha!,' cries the nun. 'I'm the bus driver.'

Sports video ~ Impossible shot by Iverson

Wow... that's impossible! Who could shoot the ball so high to avoid goaltending and still manage to get it into the basket? They're really superb! And watching the players competing each other in this way is so much fun too.

Sports video ~ Penny vs Jordan in a classic matchup

Penny dominated the game against Jordan's Bulls in 1995. A couple of his classic highlights actually came from this single game! That shows how well he played in this game and he's certainly the game's MVP. I wish I could get more high-res quality videos of his games as my collection :(

Sports video ~ Jason Williams' highlights

"The White Chocolate" Jason Williams. I remember waiting to see his highlight plays every week in the top 10 plays. He's like a cowboy, wild and cool. This is the kind of players who's born to play in the NBA. I'll miss all his best moments.

Funny video ~ Super Mario Bros frustration

Nothing better to do to kill your time? Try this. It's damn hilarious because I can understand well his feeling too. :D

Gee... I have something more important to do now ain't I? :S

Sports video ~ Career highlights of Penny Hardaway

"Smart basketball" by Penny. Love his moves. It's like dance moves with magical rhythms on the floor.

Sports video ~ My favorite basketball player at his peak

"He's my man."

He's no longer in the league now. But all his plays in basketball will remain inside me. He's my inspiration in basketball games. I still remember the night when I watched him on the TV and he single-handedly turned the game over. To a little boy in front of a TV, that's how a superhero looks like. He is - Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway.

Music video ~ Thinking of you (Katy Perry)

This is the 2nd song I've listened from Katy Perry besides her best Hot N Cold which I like the most. And this one, sounds more of a sorrowful song, is quite similar to Avril's song When You're Gone. And not only that...

The first time I heard the song Hot N Cold, I kinda related Katy Perry to my newly favorite celebrity Zooey Deschanel who co-starred Jim Carrey in the movie Yes Man too! Wow... recently I'm just fallen hard to these pop star girls...

白領

"嫁妝" 就是丈母娘給女婿的回扣。

"代溝" 就是我問老爸覺得"菊花台"怎麼樣，他說沒喝過。

"自戀" 就是下輩子我一定要投胎做女人，然後嫁個像我這樣的男人。

"無語" 就是法官問：你為什麼印假鈔？罪犯說：真鈔我不會印。

"約會" 就是一對男女展現自己前所未有的精湛演技的時候。

"天堂" 就是所有的女人都在，只有你老婆不在的地方。

"無奈" 就是被狗咬了一口，卻無法反咬一口時的感覺。

"醜聞" 就是當你帶一個醜八怪女孩出遊，就會聽到周遭的人所說的話。

"絕望" 就是飯館吃飯點了兩道菜，吃第一道："世上還有比這更難吃的嗎？" 吃第二道："靠！還真的有！"

"白領" 就是今天發了薪水，交了房租、水電瓦斯費，買了油、米和泡麵，摸摸口袋剩下的錢，感歎一聲：這月薪水又“白領”了！

Movie trailer ~ Terminator Salvation

I love action-packed movies, especially those doomsday style. Not because I like to see how most of us would die in such catastrophes but more on how we could survive. And I envy those heroes who rise from the aftermaths not without a fearful fight for survival, and sometimes to save the rest.

And I'm definitely going for this new episode of Terminator series!

Funny video ~ Who's Ken Lee?

"Tulibu dibu douchoo~" Wuahaha... That's the killer part! :D :D :D

Wow... wow... a really fantastic scene! We're painting the sky more colorfully.

Cool video ~ Amazing finish in basketball game

Cool video ~ Wii Fit

Wow... I thought Wii Fit is really for doing some chore exercises only but now I've discovered more of it. I'm gonna get one soon!

Beautiful video ~ Signs

This is indeed a short film rather than just a video clip. When I watched it I felt kinda happy for this guy and enjoyed seeing the changes in his life everyday going to work.

It's heartbreaking to see the mother nature has wounded badly and the loss of people's lives in such catastrophe. And every time when I see this kind of nature disasters, I'm prompted to think what am I going to do about our mother earth. I once thought of going for a research study in environmental management too. And a friend of mine guided me to our Open University Malaysia (see here for the program details). Ya, I can consider that as an option...

Cool video ~ Instant clothing trick

Wow... Unbelievable... Truly looks like an act of the angel, or demon??

Wow... I totally have no clue how he did that. Ya one thing about street magic is they do it in close distance to you and are still able to puzzle you.

Dilbert ~ Livestock

Mooo~~

Dilbert ~ Get away from me, you perfect monster

When a pretty chick visits the engineering D, thing like this could happen. Well, kinda because the engineering guys are not used to this kind of situation I guess. And it's universal, yeap.

Cool video ~ Fish revival trick

Hoiya! It's magic fever now! Show us more tricks you have Cyril!

Cool video ~ Back in time card trick

I think I've seen this before somewhere else. Yet it's still very much fun to watch again. Any every time a different magician does a same trick, they do it in their personal fashion. Blaine does it in a creepy way. And Cryil adds an amusing element into his performance.

Cool video ~ Iced drink trick

Ok. Ask Cyril to teach us this. It will come handy next time when we change our mind after ordering something right? And he again used the illusion technique to cover up his intended trick by first creating the perception that "oh, now the old trick has failed, but what if I can correct it with another new trick?". Illusive...

Cool video ~ (A very not typical) Card trick

One more amazing trick of his. First, he made the audience confused with if he had made a mistake, then only came his tricky part. A very nice illusion technique.

Cool video ~ Head move trick

I'm really getting addicted to his magic tricks over Blaine now. Hope to see one day the greatest magicians/illusionists gather on one stage and compete against each other.

Cool video ~ Spiderman trick

A good magic trick is full of surprises. And he did that.

Digg ~ 5 Real Life Soldiers Who Make Rambo Look Like a Pussy

We all understand that action movies are cheesy escapism. After all, could one commando really take out a whole compound full of bad guys? Actually, yes. Just like these five badasses.
I like the idea of how they have imagined the medal for Yadav looks like (and why it's like that). Haha... :D

Despite the fact that these are horrible war stories, the author has made them into hilarious and fun Hollywood-like movie synopses in a way to remember these legendary war machines.

The best part is not when they're spinning but how they fall off the stage after so many rounds of spinning. :D But I'm sure that's also part of the acting only la. Anyway, these guys are pro! I'm suspecting that helmet guy is actually an ape. That's why he wears everything from top to bottom. :P

Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address

And the transcript of Barack Obama's Inaugural Address is available here.

As the world and we are going through many dramatic transitions, be it our planet, economy, technology and science, people and their lives, most of them are facing their ever harshest hurdles. And against all these challenges that have befallen on humans, there came Obama. That's how I see this man (and I'm a big sci-fi fan). I've never seen him giving speeches to the people until his Inaugural Address on the day he took his oath as the President. And most importantly we haven't seen him changing anything yet. But, I think we still can afford our hopes on this man. Yes HOPE. And to beef up our hopes, we need to believe, not just on him, but also on our hopes to this man. He's now my superstar. He's my inspiration.

OMG! Bruce Lee is back to life again!! Ooooooooooo~~

Memo ~ Completion of my 1st great challenge of 2009

Yesterday we did a demo session to the top management of our prospect. And it was the first time I've ever done a demo to so many people (by counting 1 VIP = 2 or 3 persons depending on his rank). They were led by the Country Manager who was accompanied by the left and right guardians (some directors).

So the few days before the demo, again I had been obsessed with all the details which I had to memorize to present to the audience the full extent that our solution is able to offer. We went through a few rounds in the office to rehearse it to the best and within the limited time allowed. So, there were a number of feedback and each required me to change the way I went with the demo.

Then on the day of demo, we set up our equipments and had our seats in front of the audience inside their conference room. We started by giving an introduction of our company profile and products followed by the solution which we are proposing to them. When I was doing the demo, I could feel my dancing heartbeats from start to the end. And my voice was shaking like I was confessing in a lawful court. But fortunately in the end, I was able to do every step necessary without missing any one of them and it was done within time.

After the demo, we had conversations among ourselves about how we had done it together. And I realized that I was not alone to feel that kind of pressure while we were in the room. In fact, I had observed my boss that he didn't give his speech the way he used to do as well. And I was kinda hurt by his unconsciously (I put it this way because I do believe everyone of us was pressured considerably) rude act during the demo. But thanks to his bitter lesson I will never do the same thing which I had done ever again in front of him.

So, everyone has pressure ma. You have, I have, even the uncle in the bus also had. Why pushed me? :)

And that's my 1st huge task in 2009. Phew~ Take a moment to chill out now.

Cool video ~ Kiss-the-rim Dunk

You have to watch the video to learn what exactly is meant by that. I can't wait to see what he's gonna do in his next slam dunk competition this year.

Memo ~ How I entered year 2009

OK, first thing was, my plan for my own home sweet home screwed up in 2008.

But hey, I had a wonderful ending to conclude my job in that year too (despite an awkward start). So, that should have evened it.

And the thing that was closest to the year end was about moving out to a new place and getting back to my solo life once again.

Again (I've told myself many times), life is full of surprises and it doesn't always go the way we like it or plan it. What's more important is after a setback, we should find the good sides of it first. So what's good about it now? I have a bigger and more comfortable bed (though I haven't had a good sleep yet), a big TV (which I still haven't figured out the way to play my DVD player on it yet), a fully-auto washing machine (I just realized what's the most important invention around my living), a spacey bathroom (with a water heater! wow!) and a brand new neighborhood. Oh, I now have a basketball court within walking distance from my condo too, isn't that the coolest thing ever? :D

Well, me and my parents spent 3 full days moving all the stuff out from my ex- living place (and not to mention how interesting that was). And I basically had to re-start my life by setting up the Internet, locating the best spot for my PC, getting fit into my new bed, and most importantly finding the best way to enjoy my new driving experience to work in the new traffic.

Happy new year 2009~

Digg ~ 10 of the World's Most Fantastic Tombs

Throughout the history of human civilization, different cultures mourn and treat the dead differently. Some, like Tibetan Buddhists, have no use for burials as they dispose the dead by feeding corpses to vultures or by burning them in funeral pyres. Most cultures, however ...


I always find myself attracted by the dark side of life but death has little to do about it (yet?). However, when I'm looking at these magnificent tombs I still can't resist the deadly beautiful ideas behind them. They really are SOMETHING ain't it? I mean, did the aliens build it or what? :P

Funny video ~ Fake at the free throw line

What the??? LOL... Just look at how those guys got faked and reacted in the end. :D :D :D

Memo ~ Good time comes after hard time

Over the course of the past few weeks, things were quite harsh on me. I was busy with my increasing workload in the new D, looking for a condo unit to buy, looking for a room to rent in (ya, it's different from finding a place to buy), and having all this balanced with my life.

But this time, though I was surrounded with all these setbacks altogether, I was still able to resolve all of them (to a certain extent of happy ending) in the end. Well, to me I would usually prefer to settle things one at a time and only one after another. Oh hell ya, I didn't go into detail about the sub-setbacks in those major setbacks yet. But sometimes life could go against your wish (not a perfect world?).

The last 2 days were quite inspirational and fruitful to me. In the 1st day morning, I did an enterprise solution demo in front of the most-ever number of prospects along with my fellow teammates. And the day before I was still stuck with another project task right until 3a.m. midnight. I wasn't able to complete that task but I think I DID IT RIGHT. Ofttimes when there are a few things for you to do, pick those which you're confident to finish first and get the best result; don't do all at the same and in the end never finished any of them and yet try to find an excuse for it. So the demo? I felt exhausted but was impressed by what I was able to accomplish as the result. It's the best among the 3 demos I've done so far.

Then in the 2nd day, it was the appraisal done by our boss. Well, all I can say is it turned out to be better than what I had expected. And also, I felt like having been helped by some (the following words failed to be translated) 'expensive persons' (wuahaha :D) to get things go smooth that way too.

So in the coming year, I can foresee things are coming tough and tougher again (and it's gonna be tough to most people in Asia). But I'll just continue to take them heads on until I otherwise give up. I told one of my colleagues the other day that as long as we have the people inside (colleagues and bosses) to help us (in most cases, that's the most we can hope for la), then we can rest assured that things are going to get done no matter how (someone told me before company won't fail because of you right?). We're feeling pressured now is also because we have put in expectations and responsibilities onto ourselves but simply not aware of it.

So, well done to myself for this year 2008. Hope to see you get it going and going and going... in year 2009! And best wish to the nation!

(If I believe I can do it, I CANnnn! Behh~~~)

Funny joke ~ Why Ah Beng isn't at work?

Ah Beng was walking along his work area one day and saw his friend Ah Mute.

Ah Mute can't speak so he needed to use sign language to communicate.

Ah Mute signaled why Ah Beng isn't at work.

Ah Beng then looked around and gathered some leaves under the tree and stood on them.

He looked at Ah Mute and pointed down at the leaves.

Ah Mute was confused.

Later Ah Sian passed by and saw Ah Beng standing on the leaves.

Ah Mute then signaled Ah Sian on what is Ah Beng trying to say...

Ah Sian then typed down in his handphone and showed it to Ah Mute.

Can you guess what's Ah Beng trying to say?

Try lah! very easy!

Really duno???

"Aiyo so simple, Ah Beng Is On Leave lor!"

Hahaha!!

Short story with beautiful message

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'

The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'

'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.

'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.'

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...

Cool video ~ See Wii in (brand new) actions!!!

During my last weekend I spent at hometown with Wii, I totally got addicted with it and never remembered to share my fun time here in my blog with the live photos. But never mind, I've tried to search from the Internet and found a new Wii promo video which is coupled with loads of brand new in-game experience (and I think this is definitely way better than what I would have done at first).

What's most interesting is, the video is shot on the Wii players' actions instead of the TV screens. And yeah, this is one of the main differences you can see in Wii compared to others - most of the time you'll be watching how your friends or family are playing, and imagining what types of games they're playing without looking at the TVs! Sure, you have to see it to believe it.

Now, fasten your seat belt and witness the revolution yourself.



And guess what? I'm gonna get Wii Music next!!!

Memo ~ Taking a brief stop to recharge

I've been not around in my blog for sometime now. Until this morning I had been busy with a customer demo for more than a week. Throughout the course I felt pressured a bit (I won't admit I'm that weak anyway :P) and fell into some deep thoughts again (about time to quit again? :P).

It was my 1st time to be part of the pre-sales demo team to sell products (and ourselves as well, really) to the customer in my not-so-long carrier. And I had put some considerable amount of efforts and time into it to not let down those who are watching over me. In the end, I got compliments from people and me myself was satisfied with my overall performance too. Phew~

Now has come the weekend, I want to take some good rest before go for another rush again. But oh no, I need to find a place still to move out now! Well, slowly slowly I'll learn to pick up the new pace of life I guess. So, WELL DONE MAN to me la.

Joke ~ The Dead Cow and Vet School

First-year students at the UC Davis Vet school were receiving their first anatomy class, with a real dead cow.

They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, 'In Veterinary Medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal body.' For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the dead cow, withdrew it and stuck his finger in his mouth.

'Go ahead and do the same thing,' he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the anal opening of the dead cow and sucking on it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, 'The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger.' 'Now learn to pay attention. Life's tough, it's even tougher if you're stupid.'

Behold the beauty of Japan.

Another BIG DAY has come

Today it was officially announced that I've been transferred to the pre-sales division. Basically my job scope now has more to do with presentations to prospective customers and more talking time liao :D

Well, surely, my mind is both excited and puzzled with uncertainties at this moment. I mean, in my ex-company I used to do presentations on my R&D researches in front of my fellow colleagues. I'd usually have done it comfortably and confidently to some extent. But talking to the outside people and some more have to convince them of the things I'm doing? Well, it could be very challenging to ME.

Anyway, the new division seems to be friendly and I'll have more chances to meet some girls out there liao :P Ooops... I shouldn't have said it that way because most of the people who know ME would not even think for a split second that I'm actually joking, right? :D

Well, life is about making changes to fit in better our minds into this physical world. We should not resist changes all the time. It would not only make our own lives dull but as well as those of the people around in your life. So, throw the dices out!

Oh by the way, I've just started to make tea in my office as a habit. And it's the Japanese green tea. Well, too much caffeine in my previous days liao and I'm now trying to live out an healthier life too :) (and more gym!)

This is the brand of green tea I'm trying on now. Yeap it tastes pretty much like the Japanese restaurant's.

Weeeeeeeee!!!~

I've been keen to get a Nintendo Wii console when I have my own place to stay in the city. Unfortunately, my house plan has been postponed indefinitely for now. :(

But then...

the Wii console...

has come into my life first! Tada~

Well, it's not really an interesting story to tell about how did I get my Wii so "early" in my planning (because it's not that hard also :P). Initially I've planned to get it only when I've got my place right? It can't be more accurate than I just say it came in a big surprise to me! Last time I shared my little enthusiasm about this Wii thing with my boss. So happened that her son is working in Chicago at this moment. And so we talked about getting one from US since I can get it anytime I want it.

And? Tada~ It's here now. Haha... I don't know want to cry or laugh now. I guess me and my boss didn't tuned in the same frequency at first place. :P (And somehow I feel like a teenager boy who is told by his small girlfriend that she's got their first baby liao!)

So here's the Wii. The side view:

The front:

The front in close-up again:

The Nintendo logo on the console body:

What I've got in the box:

Box #2:

And this game disc comes together bundled with the concole box. It has 5 mini games inside as seen on the hard cover: boxing, bowling, golf, tennis and baseball. Let me share with you that this is how I've got hooked by the charisma of Wii. I watched the demo clip that featured these mini games which were released by Nintendo just to showcase to the world the potentials behind the Wii concept. It's bringing up "in-game" experience that can immerse the players into the game dimension. Or I should just say "I'M IN THE GAME" (quoted from EA Sports). Well, search for the demo clip and you'll understand better.

And this is another game box that has 9 more games inside plus another controller stick (2nd player).

So everything is up and ready, except, well... where's the TV? Darn... Should I have bought a TV altogether? Nah... wait. I don't think a 21" TV will serve right for me to play Wii (it's a waste and shame!). So I shall wait for the next weekend till I get back to my hometown to introduce the treasure I've discovered to my family. And hopefully I can get some live action pics when I get into the games then.

Until then, stay tuned...

Don't get it wrong OK? It's not what you're thinking now. It's not a human-made thing. In fact, it's made by the mother nature. See? Again you're thinking to a different direction...

This is called "double coconut". And it has the biggest seeds in this world according to an Australian biologist. And I swear I read it from the Discovery Channel article here. And it can weigh up to 27 kilograms!

Nice shape huh? :P

Memo ~ Is that a sign?

This is my daily horoscope (scorpio) for today (by Tarot.com):

"Before things settle down into a more regular pattern, you may find yourself getting exhausted trying to keep up with everything. Although you are able to do what's expected, your life could feel overly complicated now. Instead of attempting to push back toward the basics, resign yourself to staying in touch with your complex life until it starts to reintegrate and simplify."

Seems like I've just got myself on the right track and I'd better keep on this track from now onwards to welcome some brand new elements into my simplistic life.

Memo ~ My next milestone?

Today I've made another move in my carrier. A decision has been made to explore more possibilities in myself to advance ahead. It's just the start but it might be a big one too.

I've been dwelling on my carrier direction for a while now. And I've been staying outside of the world that I once struggled in and looking at familiar bummers on people which once befell on me. Do I want to go back? Well, maybe next time.

I'm ready to go. Maybe I'm not prepared perfectly. But I believe once I've made my move, I'll be the first person to make sure that I'm prepared. To be prepared to move on to the next milestone. I'll make sure that happens. Because I have to.

Cool video ~ David Copperfield's death saw

Warning: there is EXTREME material in this video. See the title above?

Well, I do like those blockbuster magic shows like traversing through the Great Wall of China and making the Statue of Liberty disappears. But what's more interesting to me is those close-up acts which have defied all common senses and left me stunned until today.

To any young generation who has missed the most popular magic stunts back in late 80's: meet David Copperfield.

Revisit to Penang (2008/09/28 ~ 2008/10/02)

This Raya holiday I spent my time in my 2nd hometown Penang. I did not plan anything special in this trip but to meet my old friends and "re-live" my old days there just like back a year ago. Really nothing special. I just went to eat my favorite food, see the sights I used to see, walk on the roads I used to walk, window-shop the shops I used to window-shop... It's just as simple as breathing the air.

This was actually my 1st "real" trip back to Penang after I had left for more than a year ago. I had the chance to re-do all the things I used to do, but I never had the chance to un-do things I had wished to have done in better ways. Haha... seems like I'm back to my normal self when I have got back to my old place. Well, only this time is not to shed any tears. So that's alright to do it once in a while.

And wow! I have found the 3rd franchise shop of my favorite Japanese restaurant! It's Yataimura! That's right! It's in Queensbay. This one I found it's a bit less spacey. But it's got some unique in its interior design too. See all the beer bottles on the rack? Don't know why I really can get excited to get immersed inside such an environment. Ahaha... Oh, but the food isn't as nice as the 1st ever franchise shop.


Here it goes - the Yataimura restaurant logo on a tissue bag.

The last time Penang Times Square came across my life was when I was really interested to buy a unit there! Yet it was too expensive for me at that time to live a life that way. Now? It's already standing tall in the city center! Damn... (seems like I don't have any luck in finding my home sweet home... yet)

So see you again Penang next year!

My Japanese drama review ~ Change

I love Japanese dramas so much till I have rejected almost all HK and Korean dramas :P So, I'm going to start writing my personal reviews of some of my thumbs-up choices.

I've just watched this series which was released during summer time in Japan. It was quite controversial for a while because Kimura Takuya (木村拓哉) is cast as the Prime Minister of Japan! And ya, my favorite celebrity Abe Hiroshi (阿部寛) is also cast in this drama too!

I give this series a 5 out of 5 not just because of the fascinating line of casts (and 2 of my favorite stars :) too) but also the intriguing plots which simply feel cool to me. Ya, that's my expectation to enjoy a good Japanese drama - simply cool~ Those kind of stylish cools that would create echoes in my mind. Oh ya, the ending theme song is totally cool too! I only found out that it is performed by Madonna only after I had finished the whole series. And the song title is Miles Away.

The only shortcoming in this series is that there are only 10 episodes. Arr... will there ever be a sequel to it again?

Funny pic ~ What's autofocus?

One pic says it all...

Funny video ~ Ninja cat comes closer while not moving!

So this is how all the horror/ghost film directors and scriptwriters got inspired by the stealthy cats! It really feels like watching The Ring! (Be ready to be scared the s**t out...)

So this is why a man wants to stay in his childhood as a boy forever... or... what he would do first when he turns young into a boy again!

"Curiosity kills the cat". That says how much curiosity a cat has doesn't it? And it's a real fun to watch when it falls to it.

Farewell to my manager (2008-08-29)

More than a year ago, i came down to KL all the way from Penang to attend the interview called upon by my current employer. There I met with him and we sat down for 3 hours together with our si-tau-poh (mistress of my company). At that time I was eagerly looking for another milestone in my life and carrier. Then, with a plenty of luck and The Nod from him, my wish came to reality.

In the beginning of my new carrier, I had been condemned by the contemptible customer interminably and could never find my exit to it. Ya it was really that bad ain't it right? Haha... Then I asked for a quit AND another quit thereafter but in the end I'm still here yet. I knew you had done all you could to help me in my situation (my gratitude here) but still I decided to walk away from all the harshest days that I had survived thru. And so I ended up in another department now.

It's all painful to us, anyone of us who have passed it. So now it's my turn to wish you all the best in your future days. Bon voyage!

See all the drunken faces? I had not had enough of whisky! I have ordered a bottle of duty-free whisky from my big boss while he's on his next trip overseas. Then I'll have happy hours at home. Haha... Well actually I only like the taste of whisky after it's mixed with Coca-Cola~

Most of these signs are the creation of local and state governments that seem to lack the time or sophistication to make clear ones. Although these are the 10 most confusing traffic signs we could find, feel free to add photos and descriptions of awful signs you've found in your own travels.


Well well... seems like living in a bigger city needs a bigger brain too :) I especially enjoyed reading the unofficial meanings the author had put forward personally... LOL
