My Ideal Weekend..........

Sometimes I love to spend my day by the beach. Sometimes I love hanging around the shopping mall. Sometimes reading at home is prefered but the best of them all is to have everyone back in Ipoh spending quality time by just doing nothing at home.........Playing around with MengWai and MeiMei, making fun of KitKit's new hair style, poking at Papa's tummy, acting silly for Mama, listening to JieJie's new found wisdom and sharing life experiences with JieFu.........I hereby attached pictures from a typical ideal weekend at home......

* MengWai observing the beauty of Pinky......hahahaha

* Raw talent......hehehehe The noise he makes is music to my ears.....

* As usual, before any meal MengWai would be seated before everyone else.

* Hey, what is KitKit holding over there??

* BARNEY!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT........hahahaha

Tractor Scouting...........

I was back in Ipoh once again this weekend. 2 weeks in a row. JieJie, JieFu, KitKit and BBs were back as well. Last saw them since CNY wahhhh sangat rindu la....hehehehe... as usual, our weekend together was as regular as usual. Eat, chat and scout for something new and cheap. This time, JieFu, JieJie and I went to check out tractors and yes, those tractors you see by the road side or any construction sites. Hahaha it was my virgin visit to this kind of retail outlets. Since JieFu spent most of his time negotiating and enquiring info, I spent mine cam whoring around.

* Rank and file.....make a bid.......

* Who's your daddy.....hahahahaha......Check out my ROD......

* Hitachi not Air-Con only meh?????

* Smallest unit in the yard.......

More updates from Home soon........

What a deal......

What is the most exciting stuff every dude looks for right after work? For me, it would have to be peeping into the letter box. You just never know what you're going to get. Back to the story, I have no idea what you guys from the other states are having in your letter box but I have tons of fliers everyweek. After almost a year in Penang, I guaranteed you, Penangites love their fliers. Major source of advertisement here. Check out what I found in the letter box today.....pretty amusing.




* Buy a bungalow, get a car for FREE......



* Single storey get a FREE Perodua MyVi.



*Double storey get a Toyota Avanza for FREE.


From my point of view, the marketing executive must be crazy to come out with these deals or the developer is simple too freaking rich. I will wait for a better offer before I get a new house. My ideal offer should be at least something like below:



* Mari Mari, Beli banglo PERCUMA AEROPLANE.........Good buy Good buy....

All the best dude.......

I was down in Klang last weekend to attend a wedding reception. Took the opportunity to meet up with all my long lost friends, since some of them got back from spore. We made an appointment to meet up at 3pm in Klang Parade but as usual, they were late....every single one of them......waited for an hour before their royal arrival......it has been a while since I last met engsoon and robin. Lastly wanted to give engseen a goodbye kiss before he depart to spore.....



* Robin, PGaik and Soon listening to EngSeen telling fairy tales.......




* We are reunited...............




* Won't be seeing this face for a while..................



* EngSeen will be missed by everyone in KL.........




* Alright, kissing time....muaks muaks muaks......All the best dude!!!

Last Post for Chinese New Year.......

9th day of CNY. It marks the actually new year for the Hokkiens. Why??? Don't ask me........ask the other hokkiens......I've got different versions of the history I will need to digest myself....




* All of us waiting and waiting and waiting.....while watching Chelsea Vs Arsenal la........




* Cousins trying to light up firecrackers....ishhh....I will only turn him in if there happens to be a cash reward from the Police........RM10 also ok.....




* Another cousin showing of his skill with the gigantic joss stick........


It was my first celebration in Penang....a beginner as my cousin put it.....Suprisingly, the custom in Penang totally difers from those I had been exposed to in Ipoh......

Cousin : First time right?
Me : In Penang...YES.....
Cousin : Don't worry......follow us.....steady.....
Me : OK OK



* Everyone in rank and file waiting for their turn to be blessed by Grandma.




* Ohhhhh TI KONG....PLEASE bless these two with WISDOM.....alot of it please.......

* The bamboo duo.......with bodies like palm....

........HABIS..............

My own open-house during CNY..........

Gong Xi Fa Chai peps......back to Penang to catch up with some buddies over the new year. One of my very good friends, OKUI aka Blackie came all the way from Perlis (actually that bastard was on the way back to KL........needed a place to crash). He was a housemate of mine if you guys could remember correctly.



* A bunch of young adults gathering..............



Let me tell you the truth about Chinese New Year. First, erase whatever craps your grandma and grandpa have been telling you all these years; about the celebration of a new beginning or family gathering which is only partially correct or even about remembering those days when we Chinese chased away a monster called 'Nian'. The TRUTH about Chinese New Year comes in an apportioned formula.


Chinese New Year = 5%Gathering x 20%Drinking x 5%Ang Pow -ing x 70%GAMBLING!!!!!


The truth always have to hurt. Just a friendly reminder to all my friends out there. One should never be too proud in winning in a gamble for he or she will suffer the loss several times more.



The theory above could be easily proven as below:

Objective : Gambling Hurts
Specimen : Okui aka Blackie (The guy in Grey sleeveless shirt)





* Okui enjoying his Mahjong with Benny and I.......






* This was the reaction when he won in a card game..........

Dear Okui - Not everyday is Sunday.........hahahahahahahaha


Happy Chinese New Year to all............

First Day of CNY.........

Once a year and there it was. My beloved day of the year.......Chinese New Year. Even though the happenings were more like repetition but yet I enjoyed every single minute of it.



* New year eve, Kitkit and I trying to con Papa for some extra pocket money...



On the very best morning I got up to the sound of drum. Chinese drum to be precised. It was a neighbour who invited the lion dance troupe to his house. I was still at bed by the time I heard the drum....wear my pants, grab a shirt and run towards the ceremonial house like a man with nuts....ops......I meant a man with no brain......Got a deal with the troupe and the next thing you know.....wahhhhhhhh....they are coming to my house....




* Watch out....Lion coming in!!!!!!!!!




* Give way.....Lion going up!!!!!!




* WAHHHH I love lion dance....I just love it.......muaks muaks muaks....



BUT once they're gone, they left behind stains, dust, rubbish, etc.......KNNCCB I forgot today is the first day of CNY. I am forbidden to sweep or mop the floor on this very day. I ended up wiping it instead.......NIAMA!!! Next year I will ask them to take off their shoes first......




* Give way.....Idiot cleaning the floor.......


After the auspicious commotion, all of us, Papa, Mama, Kitkit and I headed off to Balik Pulau......BALIK KAMPUNG!!!!!!!



* As usual, by the time we got there the mini casino is already in operation.......

CNY Preparation - part 2

CNY's preparation is never done until one genius cleans the house. This charming genius was actually forced to get up as early as 9am in the morning to clean the house..........



* Genius at work.................



* Genius in boxers at work.............


New Year's Resolution(Chinese edition) - Ti Kong Po Pi Wa Kin Ni Eh Hiao Play Golf!!!!!!!!

GONG XI FA CAI and Happy Valentine's......................

First Prepartion for Chinese New Year.......

It is approximately 20 days before entering to the year of the Boar. Since I was born on the same year in the chinese lunar, I got off to an early start to get myself prepared for 'MY' year which occurs only once every 12 years. And to add on the fun, Hai Shue and SF came for a visit as they were on their way to Kedah. First, I must buy myself a new outfit to greet the new year........All 4 of us went to Queen'sBay Mall to get conned.



* Decor at the central of Queen'sBay Mall........



* Hai Shue and SF....SF appearing in this blog for the very first time, therefore abit shy...


I wanted a Canterbury All Blacks rugby polo shirt at first but when I took a trip down to 1Utama 2 weeks ago I found out that the Canterbury's outlet was GONE!!!!! C*bai......




* My shirt for this year. Nice??


At last, I found the pants that I always wanted. Been looking for it for several weeks. First I found it in Queen'sBay but NO SIZE!!! Then, Gurney Plaza, NO COLOUR!!!! Then Ipoh's Jusco, TARAK JUAL!!!!! and with much hope I even went to 1Utama 2 weeks ago, NO SIZE!!!! KNNCCB how many guys in Malaysia have the same size of buttock as I do?? Luckily, thank heaven for the newly opened Royal Sporting's outlet in Queen'sBay.





* This year I am going for pants as well...hehehe...



* Woalahhh........For all readers, PLEASE don't buy the same shirt or pant as I did.....hahahaha Phaiseh Phaiseh.....

Dinner with buddies.............

Went back Ipoh last weekend and met up with my buddies over dinner..... since I promised to buy them dinner on that day, they cracked their head trying to figure out where to dine.




*Fei Hai still having a bad headache for thinking too much earlier that day......



* This is our dining place - Steamboat King (only a guess as all 5 of us can only read 2 of those 3 chinese words)




* Our hot pot............Tomyam & Herbal soup.....Nothing fancy.....




* Hai Shue and Kou Hai giving the sinister look as they're not paying for that night....




* This was the look when I saw the bill.......... RM120++............

Hairdo day.....

I got my hair done last weekend. And for the very first time in my life I am actually paying someone to cut my hair. Before this, my hair was groomed by Mama - my personal stylist for 23 years. Been to the hair salon several times in between but most of the time is just to accomodate to my role when I was in a musical play.




* Before the Big Day..........


**By the way, I got my hair syampoo-ed by the hair stylist/barber for the very first time in my life. I can't believe I need to pay an extra RM 8 for such ridiculous service.



* After paying a sum of 18 F*cking Ringgit.........I still prefer to let Mama do my hair....

Hello 2007..........

Time flies......I am 24 this year.....speechless.................................

I don't have the tradition to draft out a new year's resolution and bitch about it at year end but what the heck, I will do it this year. Since I started working on June last year, I will draft out this resolution with much reality and less dreaming content.






.........2007..........

1. Pay all taxes I owe the government.
2. Pay Indah Water for the very first time in my entire life.
3. Add more channels to my current Astro package. (Currently only sports, MTV and Discovery are available <- how sad could this be) 4. TRY to buy myself a country club's membership in Penang.
5. TRY to buy a new 'All Blacks' shirt.
6. TRY to save up enough money to visit Mr. Lau in Melbourne. (bear in mind I will be paying for 2 now <- another sad case) 7. TRY not to screw up and stick to this current job.
8. TRY to get myself a new notebook.

LASTLY........

9. TRY to drink less alcoholic beverages. (if this could happen, I should get a lottery ticket ASAP)




* Kindly take note: All resolutions starting with the word 'try' has the success rate of less than 1%. Thank you.
