Get Smart : Cone of Silence

One of the scenes from a TV series from my childhood, Get Smart. Maxwell (Agent 86) always uses out-of-this world gadgets. In this scene, he uses his Cone of Silence, which is also featured in the movie Get Smart ( in cinemas now ). But the Cone of Silence in the movie is much slicker. One comment from me after watching the movie, "After so many years, Maxwell hasn't gotten smarter. No wonder they still call the movie Get Smart"

Yong An in Malaysia

Do you guys recall my expanding business which ran from Singapore to Japan all the way to Hong Kong. Besides jewellery, insurance, shopping center and a saloon, this time i'm doing my business at my own backyard in Malaysia, and in more down-to-earth industries.

Ahhh... the lucrative transport/travel industry. On a second thought, it may not be that lucrative anymore, since diesel's price has ballooned more than normal petrol price. Still, i've got a Benz... haha...

And i am a rubber dealer here! hmmm... This might not be the right business to go in. I should've gone into the palm oil business, since biodiesel is the way to go. Anybody know of any palm oil estate for sale? Then i should be trading away my rubber estate...Ahh... (Photo courtesy of shutterbutter.com/blog/)

Kung Fu Frosty : The Secret to the Cat Stance

The hilarious movie Kung Fu Panda has given me an inspiration to make something similar out of my pet cat, the also black and white Frosty. He's as fat as Po the panda, and loves food to the point of obssession. Little known to others, he also has a hidden talent in Kung Fu. Here are some shots i've taken in private :

The super-eye stance. The eyes glow to a scary greenish colour and works like a laser to harm any predators in sight.

The heavy-weight champion. I suffocate enemies by putting my weight on them. Most cry for mercy within 3 seconds...muahahaha....

Practising my feline-knockout-punch on the horizontal bars. Haiyaaa...kapow!

This is a negative demonstration, a posed picture to educate you on what not to do. The biggest no-no in Kung Fu is to NEVER reveal your belly to your enemies. If they do pounce on you, you do not have ample time to react.

I may look like i'm sleeping, but the truth is i am training my flexibility. Flexibility is one of the most vital things about Kung Fu. Humans are useless, most of them cannot even perform this simple trick, touching their noses with their feet. Look, i can even do this in my sleep.

And finally, if all fails, curl yourself into a tiny ball. Cover your eyes and pray the hardest that your enemy is not able to spot you.

Which One Lasts Forever?

Hiya folks! Look closely at the photograph above. Three rings... three that comes with a different price tag... one is an authentic diamond ring, one is a substituted diamond ring ( made with another precious stone) and lastly, one is a stone ring bought for less than $10 from a stall in a shopping center. Taken from my sisters' collection, for answers if you're curious which is which please approach me =)

For the past few days, there was a frenzy of complaints coming from my friends, colleagues and family members about the hike in price for Malaysia petrol. With the price now standing at RM2.70/litre, it looks worrying what this increase will do to the price of other essential goods. A Domino Effect is expected, i guess it's time to tighten our belts.

Recently i've been tuning in to 2 drama which revolve around food. First, i started on 'Wasabi Mon Amour', a TVB drama about a woman wanting to make it big in showbiz, and having to cheat her way by lying about her cooking prowess. TVB presented this drama partially as a cooking show, with every instruction and food processing explained articulately. I particularly love the sight of all the Japanese food featured.

The second one is a Taiwanese idol drama called 'Rolling Love'. The story is about a fine dining chef who is competing for a blind girl's affection with a fried rice stall owner. Every time i watch this drama, i would be craving for a plate of egg fried rice, cos in the drama, the hawker can only make 100 plates per day as he roasts his rice with charcoal every morning. Blaaahhhhhhhh..... i want egg fried rice!!!

Akakakaka...i'm dying for a break. Haven't been on leave for some time, and my annual leave is piling up! Help!!

Sheau Ching's Birthday Picnic

Our group hasn't had an outdoor outing for about 7 months, until last month when Sheau Ching requested that we celebrate his birthday outdoors. And here's the gang ( minus Jeremy and Melissa who joined us later) walking into Bukit Batok Nature Reserve ( yes, Crispy...the one you read about on the SPI website)

And we finally reached the end of the park... so we split up..some of us walking to exercise our legs, some brought Daisy (the dog) for a drink, some were chatting and some ( like Anne and Ann here) posed for photos.


After Jeremy and Melissa found their way there, we had our food which we all brought from either home or bought. Here's Sheau Ching's birthday cake!

Hey, we didn't forget to feed Daisy her share as well. More birthday cake? Look at Yee Kuan spoon-feeding her.

Happy birthday Sheau Ching!
