I watched the first movie. Its kickass fun. Much better than Blade. Perhaps becos its more true to what I feel vampires are.
Hopefully the 2nd movie will bring it further.

My own christmas present
Guess what I bid for on yahoo auction?
Sweet aint it?
Its the best designed optimus prime for the past few generations. I really loved this very much. Though the original prime still holds a special place in my heart.
But what I would really love, is that they come up with a new Grimlock. That simple minded T-rex never fails to make me laugh. sighs
Anyway, all I hope now is that the transaction goes through well. It would be cash on delivery. Not too sure I should arrive and flash my torch 3 times and wait for a reply. Might have to open the packaging with a knife and taste the stuff before showing him the money.

My hump, my hump, my hump
Just when I tot the original song is catchy (yet crappy), I was laughing out loud when I heard this flash christmas card
Now everybody lets sing "My hump, my hump, my hump"
Transformers the movie 2007
You heard it from me first
Now now, calm down. Please refine from screaming a loud 'YES' from your office. Your boss might think you have clinced a major deal. And if you happen to be your own boss, your subordinate might think you are power hungry.
It is just a 16 months wait for the movie.
Back to work
Its nice to be back at the office. Though I know most would rather have taken this whole week off, I somehow feel glad to be back and my small cubicle hidding away from the view of my bosses.
My dada-chan gave me a can which contains a mini plant in it. I opened it and water last friday. From the instructions, it should have 'awaken' some bean stalk today. Yet there is barely anything except for a tiny displace of soil.
I guess with the cold office environment, it will grow slower than expected. Oh well, hopefully with love and care it will be able to scale the whole office tower 1 day.

Crabbing trip 1
Its about 9am in the morning now and I wonder why I am up.
Perhaps its becos its christmas eve and I am always in the festive feeling.
Or it could be that I am just too excited from last night that I cant sleep properly.
Indeed many would have called me foolish to embark on a crabbing trip when I barely recovered from my flu. I coughed quite a few times throughout the night and now I have developed a deep sexy voice. Perhaps if there is any local movie out there who requires a deep male voice to voiceover the trailer, I would gladly do so for free.
Well here is how the story goes,
We met about 8-ish after buying all the stuffs we needed. Dinner was a simple Hokkien mee and some indian lamb soup (kang beng - i think). The sky was forever drizzling and my 3 other friends felt like cancelling the trip. I for once am the optimist guy, and told them that if it rains, we will have less competitions. How true would that me, since we ended up the only group crabbing.
We arrived at our secret location somewhere east of singapore. I would like to tell more but if I do so, it wont be so secret anymore. :P yes I am anal this way. There we parked our 2 vehicles and quickly set up our equipment.
Everyone had an opinion on where is the best spot to catch those nasty crabs. Which is why we gotten 4 traps each. The bait of the day was Stingray meat. Yummy. Ah Siang (no kidding thats his real name) got them from the market this morning and declared them smelly enough. The other 2 agreed except for me whose sickness came in handy to mask out any smell. Initially I wanted him to get them at least 2 days in advance to boost its delightful aroma, but sigh.... it was not to be.
We placed all our traps with the munchy baits and I ended up tying everyone of them. Somehow when it comes to tying or cutting or burning it always had to be me. The scout one. Listening to each one instruction I too ended up laying the traps for them at different location. sheesh.
After the last trap was laid, we took a quick sip from our store of drinks. We decided that we would tried to catch at least 5-6 palm sized once tonight. Those little ones which are in their teens, will be told to stay home and not to hang out so late among the bad company.
Soon we walked back to our traps and pull up each one to check. 2/4 of them were found with little crabs. Sensing the excitment, we quickly gathered together to fish them out with the pilers Bernard brought. It aint easy. These little critters just wont leave the net without a fight. But we soon learned how to do it easily and gotten all into our box which Chuan provided.
Thinking that we found their hotspot, we moved the other 2 traps nearer to the luckier 2 and waited some more. Perhaps its our foolishness, for every 10 minutes we would pull up and checked and be disappointed. The hotspot was cold for the next hour so it seems.
Tired, we retreated to sitting down on the cardboard seats we made and chatted for a long while. An hour pass before we returned to check our stations. Almost all 4 of them contains a crab or more. The tension is crazy.
We then decided that we should just leave it there for at least 30 mins before checking. With the current slowly coming in, I got a good feeling about this. 30 mins later, I pull out one and to my surprise saw a different visitor. Its a pinkish color catfish. Now I wonder why would it be caught in our trap..... But since he aint what I was looking for, we took some crazy pic of him and threw him back. Goodbye little buddy.
Its quite ironic to name a fish, catfish, dun you think?
The night slowly pass us by. Chuan had to work tomorrow and ended up returning to his van to sleep. I went over to my bro and told him that we should have an early night so that he can rest. Bernard was reluctant as we had only caught 3-4 which are close to palm-size and none bigger. There were several teens along with their baby brother. Eventually we agreed to depart after 3.30am.
As we kept our stuffs, we decided to split the spoils among us. I only wanted to keep the tiniest one so that I could show proudly to my dada-chan. I grab one that resist a little and put him into my container (with airholes) I tried to catch another of a different variety but as I used the pincer to hold onto his big arm, the joint snapped and he became crippled by me. (I felt bad enough so dun kill me)
Thus I decided to return this one to the sea and let him live in peace. Bernard and Ah Siang placed the bigger ones into a container for their BBQ tomorrow nite. I doubt they will get much meat but I guess he wants to show his folks that he can provide for them....
I went over to Chuan's van and told him that I would be driving him back. With his daze stare he easily pass me the keys. Its been a short while since I drove a manual and once again it had to be a van or a pickup. Anyhow, we drove slowly below the 70kph limit all the way back. We did saw 2 police cars while we drove home but none of them stopped us.
When I finally rested its about 5am.
As I got up, I noticed my new little friend here aint moving no more. Ah Siang did mention while driving back that he seem to be dead. And indeed he is. Sighs
I now have no idea what to do with him. Perhaps I will sun him till he dried out of the fishy smell and displayed him on my shelf. Or I could throw him away.
I dun know yet. Need to sleep some more to wake up the other half of the brain.

Fisherman in training
The doc gave me a day mc yesterday. Though I would like to take today off as well, the workaholic part of me just wont let me.
Oh I was wondering why the office is so cold today. Like someone turn up the aircon or something. Its only during the lunch hour that I realised most ppl aint ard. Almost 60% are on leave. Whoo hoo.
Anyhow later I am off to fish with my pal. Its a first time for many of us and we are not expecting much except to learn from this experience. But most of all have fun trying.
They said give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Well I am going to catch some crabs today. Guess I will be crabby for today and crapping for a lifetime.
Will let you know the results.
Have a merry christmas you all

Superman 'too big'
London - The new Superman is giving movie bosses a headache - because of the size of his bulge.
They fear Brandon Routh's profile in the superhero's skintight costume could be distracting, reports the Sun.
Hollywood executives have ordered the makers of Superman Returns to cover it up with digital effects.
The Sun's source said: "It's a major issue for the studio. Brandon is extremely well-endowed and they don't want it up on the big screen.
"We may be forced to erase his package with digital effects."
Brandon, 26, has taken over the superhero's cape from the late Christopher Reeve.
Wardrobe artists have had to fit him with a special codpiece for the new film out next year. - Ananova.com
The working me
Its coming to 2 months since I embarked into my working life. Yes it has been that long. Time really flies when you are busy.
I came to realise 2 things.
1. The job scope is fixed.
2. The worker must be adaptable.
For those who din know me that well, I graduated with an electronic engineering degree. In which I spend a great deal of time in Control engineering, motor drives, robotics and of course programming.
My keen interest has been aviation but after multiple tries to get into that highly stressful industry, I resigned to fate that my calling aint there. (Or at least not yet)
I have to get a job somehow. Sooner or later I know I will get one. And I felt lucky to end up here. Its a govt job nonetheless but it pays well and the working environment has been wonderful so far.
Yet I felt a sense of incompleteness. Largely due to the fact that the job scope doesnt interest me. I had to pick up and learn RF (radio frequency), wireless and such which I largely avoided them in school. My interest to build a robot to dominate the world would never be achieved now. sighs.
But I know I must adapt. Its time I step out of my comfort zone and step into a less explored area. I cant keep hiding in my expertise. I must be willing to encompass the wider scope of engineering. Learning is the only key to survival. And to survival this, I know I have to work harder than normal.
In the end when I finally move on from this career into the next, I hope to look back and say that I am a better man. I made the right decision. I learned more than I hope for. I survive the test.
Perhaps in my next step, I might choose marketing as a career. Who knows?

Coke + Coffee
Atlanta, December 07, 2005 - The Coca-Cola Company today announced that it will launch Coca-Cola Blāk in January in France, the first of several countries – including the United States - that are expected to introduce the new Coca-Cola and coffee fusion in 2006.
Coca-Cola Blāk is an invigorating and stimulating blend that has a perfect balance of the effervescent taste sensation of Coca-Cola and natural flavors, with real coffee. The lightly carbonated, mid-calorie beverage, which is designed to appeal to adult consumers, is yet another example how The Coca-Cola Company reaches out to new audiences and addresses new beverage occasions.
"Coca-Cola Blāk is not just a flavor extension. It is a blend of unique Coke refreshment with the true essence of coffee and has a rich smooth texture and has a coffee-like froth when poured. We believe we have created a new category of soft drink – an adult product in a carbonated beverage – and a whole new drinking experience. This brand is ideal for any part of the day when people are looking for renewed energy or simply to take a break," said Marc Mathieu, vice president, Global Core Brands, The Coca-Cola Company.
Personally I think this is pure crazy. Mixing 2 of my favorite drinks together.
And ultimate pleasure

Faster than a speeding bullet
Bill's friend Harry was in big trouble when he forgot his wedding anniversary.
His wife told him "Tomorrow there better be something in the driveway for me that goes from zero to 200 in 2 seconds flat."
The next morning his wife found a small package in the driveway. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Not sure when Harry gets out of the Hospital.
Caroling 2005
This has been the 2nd year since I brought back caroling to the scouts once more. Once again we worked with Peicai school and I guess we now have gotten to know them pretty well.
Sadly I am unable to attend a single practise. Work commitment swarmed me and my other leaders as well. On top of that, none of the practises were held on a saturday (suspiciously).
I had wanted 9 practises or more to ensure that the boys and girls can sing and dance properly. Yet school nowadays wont let you off for holidays. Students were made to come back for revision and remedials. And I wonder why are there so many school work on the year end period. I hope my kid wont have to go thru so many academic stress.
Last year they had a skit which I tot was horribly done. I din want a repeat of that and make them come up with a dance this year. Besides Inky complained that it will give the old folks a heart attack, I strongly believed that having a dance is far more worth for its entertainment value.
Its sad that we only visited 1 home after so much work. But due to cirsumstances, I cant helped but hope that this wont ever ever happen again.
sighs. I wish I was there for caroling.

Have a great time there
My dadadi had left on wed along with her parents to Brisbane for the last time.
Her graduation will be in a few days time and sadly I cant be there with her. Work is such a devil sometimes. I do wish she would have a great time with her folks there. Sorta like a vacation trip away.
Anyhow the funny thing was that, I tot I would be able to spend this week or so doing stuffs I had been wanting to do. Instead I ended up doing nothing at all. (not even blogging much)
Nothing seem to be going thru my head, except for a late night exploration yesterday at sajc. Oh will let you guys know what happen as soon as i get the photos.
sighs. have to try to slow down the 'stage of becoming an uncle' if you know what i mean

Photo tricks
I wrote a program to grab the middle row of pixels in each frame and add them to another image progressivly. Damn! The camera is interlaced, so using multiple pixel rows is not helpful. The end result is a 1200 X 1440 image of all sides of a head. Cool! Not an original idea, it is simply what we call in Maya or 3D Studio a "cylindrical projection texture map." Nonetheless the results are promising.

Charlie brown christmas tree
It is known as CB pathetic tree on its website. But somehow it looking at sad little charlie, you kinda forgive him for having a lonely christmas.
Pillow for the lonely
I realise the minute I post this, most people out there would brand the product as a life size doll. But its a pillow really. honest.
Seeya Kenson
I guess I should start by a short intro of Kenson. This is a young man of only 15 years of age. Yet I have known him for a good 5 years now.
When I first met him, he was just a cub scout. He and others from his batch were marked out by myself to be the future leaders for the scouts. Gradually they all come thru the ranks and slowly progress from primary school to the seconday. Training and support were what we offered them and in return they became our Patrol leaders.
They were all a special batch for me indeed. They grew up knowing and loving the SA scout traditions. They were a great bunch who kept together thru the years. But most of all they were my little brothers who I saw growing up.
Sad to say, little Kenson here have to part. (by little I mean he is as tall as me and as wide as Ian)
Due to his playfulness which resulted in dropping to the Normal stream, his parents had decided to take the safer route by sending him to aussie for 2 years. In which they hope he can complete his A levels and come back a better person.
Its rather rush for him to leave. He barely said his goodbyes to many of us. Not to mention he has left my caroling project without an external sec. sighs. groan. sighs
Anyhow I am pondering on this, is it a wise choice to send him overseas? Of course I am not here debating on his parents wishes but I am curious to learn about the social pressures.
Going to N stream is a scary thought for many out there. Most of my frens are from the express stream and would be afraid to end up dropping a level. But honestly is there much to be fear? I am proud to admit that I was from the N stream but look where I end up. I gotten my education, a stable job and so on.
Of course few might argue out there that I am the selected who did well. Unfortunately that is not true either. To set the record straight, I was among the top 5 of my batch but I aint the brightest no more. A good number of us (probably 40%) have gotten or getting their degrees. I do know about 5 of us are going for Masters and so on. The remaining all had a minimum of a poly diploma and are earning well. Some are making more money than myself.
So what measure success here? Definately it has nothing to do with the N level cert. Oh I should probably get it frame up since its the last document which has a Pass on my chinese lang. Success is what we make of it. Those who knew they aint academic inclined ends up finding a niche which they are good at and found success in it. Those who are neither, choose a path which most of us detest by signing on as NS regular.
Anyhow, I dont want to get too naggy during my working hours. I just brought this up because I felt that N level aint the end of the road. Its probably the beginning for some. Now that Kenson is away from his family and friends, I do hope he turns out alright. Do come back soon.
Want to scare away teenagers?
Well someone found a way to annoy teens and leave us adult immune to it.

Listening to authority
You probably seen a lot of gags by "just for laugh", "candid camera" and of course home grown "Gotcha" and realised that people of authority (ie posing as cops) are able to make their victim commit crazy acts.
Well someone took the reality theme and made it into a crime. Strangely he went on a long spree and did many untold acts to teenagers
I read the news and was disgusted
I need a financial planner
Firstly, I would like to start by apologising to all my frens who were/are working as financial planners. I felt really bad for pushing you guys off, deleting your name from my phonebook and calling the police on you. I realised that times were bad a few years back and you all din have a choice but to take up that career path after uni. sorry once more
Now would you look upon years of friendship and advise to me on the confusing world of financial planning? I am so lost in just looking at it. There are tons of policies out there which takes forever to read. And I know I will never end up reading everything. Would put pen to paper the minute I saw the bottom line is over a million.
Its quite amusing that within just one investment company I gotten myself lost in the numerous schemes they offered.
I thought I saw Vernon
Well it wasnt him, but boy is the resemblance scary.
Yesterday as I was flipping thru the Life section of the Sunday Times, I saw a large photo of an avid book reader on Page 37.
I did a double take... well actually I just stare and stare. Cause the person in the article looks exactly like Vernon. (for those who dun know, that my fren eejean's hubby)
As I read thru, I checked carefully on the details. Well for one thing, his name and surname (just in case he has an older brother we din know about) din match. I thought for a while before continue reading and discover that he is about 40. Strangely he does not look that old and the real Vern doesnt look 30 as well.
Guess its their baby face. :)

18 Tricks to Teach Your Body
Here are some tricks which might help
1. If your throat tickles, scratch your ear!
When you were 9, playing your armpit was a cool trick. Now, as an adult, you can still appreciate a good body-based feat, but you're more discriminating. Take that tickle in your throat; it's not worth gagging over. Here's a better way to scratch your itch: "When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm," says Scott Schaffer, M.D., president of an ear, nose, and throat specialty center in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. "This spasm relieves the tickle."

Shotting off the locks
Remember seeing all those police and thief films where the bad guys (sometimes good guys too) easily broke a lock just by aiming a pistol at it.
Apparently its harder than you think.
Xbox marketing strategy
Xbox 36o which is recently launched in US actually cost more than its sells for. Apparently the parts alone exceed the retail value for it. Imagine if you include the other cost like assembly, packaging, R&D and so on, MS is making a lost just by selling this machines.
However, this clever trick of theirs by selling the hardware cheap and making a gain from the sales of games might just work. Whats use of a box if it does not play any games. Eventually, this might crush Sony and Nintendo if they do not have the financial capacity MS have.
If you realise, this is not the first time MS pull such a stunt. Remember IE? Its free too? Remember Netscape? Dont think anyone remembers them now.

Scrubs me
I would like to convert all my audience, (yes you sitting there with a coke) to be a bunch of scrubs fans.
I have been a long time fan of the simpsons. When Futurama was released, I went crazy for a good 5 seasons before they canned it. DAMN FOX!!!! For a good time after that, some episodes of the Simpsons make fun of Fox.
Anyhow, Scrubs is unique different from most sitcom. Its insanely funny yet at times you feel emotional for the characters (or in some case the patients)
Go watch it.

See you soon Yan
Yanyan left yesterday for Japan. Her company is sending her over there for training which would last a whole year.
At the airport to see her off were a bunch of friends who have been close to her for a long time. I was there along with Inky and NDR. We came to see her as well as let her know that we all care for her.
Somehow months of anticipation, weeks of expectation and days of packing could not have prepare her enough. She had said she wanted to leave, but at that moment she doesnt want to. Sadly after hugs and kisses, she gradually departed.
All the best yan!
Hope to see you soon.
1 year will fly by quickly.
Floating chair
Couple of days back, the paper reported that NTU is considering spending a fortune to get new chairs for the school. The chairs cost a bomb and are supposed to reduce the risk of backaches and other pains.
Well, spend more than that and it might get you a floating chair. Which allows you to hover above the ground the slide across your office.

Who wants to buy a kidney stone?
THE ACTOR who played Captain Kirk on the popular telly show Star Trek, William Shatner, has just passed a kidney stone and plans to flog it on eBay.
The actor says that the stone will become the “ultimate piece of Star Trek memorabilia” and he will flog it for charity.
The 74-year-old actor was taken from the set Boston Legal last month, suffering from what was initially reported to be chronic back pain, which turned out to be a kidney stone.
Captain Kirk has apparently been filling in as a lawyer between his dutys saving the universe thus proving the idea that good must entirely be balanced by evil.
But Shatner has since revealed he had a kidney stone, which he successfully passed after experiencing excruciating pain.
However, he might have a bit of problem making the sale through eBay. The outfit has strict rules about the sale of body parts, even for charity.

Jasmine green tea
For the longest time ever, I cant stand the taste and smell of jasmine green tea. Its just horrible. I could not understand why there are so many people out there who love it. So much so at every big events I have attend, without a doubt I will find a can or packet of the green tea drink lying around.
I mean come on, it has the strong smell of jasmine. No offence but it reminds me of one horrible incident just after Deepavali where an Indian lady with Jasmine flowers bundle around her hair sat in front of me. For the entire journey the smell makes me nausea. Perhaps its just me but jasmine is one flower I will never buy for my loved ones. ICK
And then the story began. I gotten my current job thru a relaxing interview. I was quite thirty then and they offer me a packet of JGT. Since I knew I probably going to do plenty of talking, I aint keen to leave my throat dry before that. So I daringly picked up 1 pack and down it asap. It felt like some horrible drinking game from my past (without the alcohol of course). I made it thru the interview well and tada got my current job. (which I shld be working now and not typing this)
Anyhow, the last few days I was on board a ship. I din bring my bottle and was dying of thrist. Yes indeed surrounding me is all water, but trust me water around shipyard aint cool to drink. The ship crew bought a bunch of??? you guess it, its JGT. Horribly I downed the bottles. Perhaps I should have wise up after my 1st day but no.... I went on to drink 3 bottles for 3 consecutive days.
Oh the horror.
Strangely at my thirstiest moment, the JGT actually taste great. I had a total changed of mind. Maybe JGT aint that bad. However just yesterday I attend a meeting and was offered JGT. I took 1 pack and decide to enjoy it since I aint thirsty no more. After 1 long sip..... I stopped. The memories and horror returned.
I guess if I am dying and needs to drink it, I would. Otherwise I will avoid it like hell.
Luckily there is no mushroom drinks. eck
Cosplay anyone?
For those fans of cosplay, I am sad to say that when I see this video, I cant help but find it dumb.
Its been a while since I have such a good laugh
Body mouse
Apparently it din take long for the internet speed world to come up with something such as this after I ponder about the pee & poo stuff toys.
In any case, I like this more. Good to play warcraft with.
Pee & Poo
The cutest thing around happens to be a pee and a poo.
I wonder what is next.
Toys these days are beginning to be looking for a new niche
