Cool Bottle

I have always been a sucker for things that are of good design. And this bottle from KOR interests me greatly.

However times are bad now and I dont really need another bottle nor do I carry one around regularly. So getting one makes little economic sense.

So long you good looking bottle.

See if you can hear this

New Kia Cerato Forte

I absolutely love the new Kia marketing campaign where they ask us to guess what car it is. It teases us with the possibility that it is build by Italian, German or French.

Interestingly they did not mention the Japs as that would definitely be a tough comparison to be made with.

Also as interesting is that they left out the American whom I would say made cars suitable for 3rd world now.

more Nicks Callsigns

Here are a few more callsigns that my buddy and I came up with

1. Mosquito
2. Angelina Jolie

The previous were

5. Beijing 101
6. Shrek
7. Donkey
8. Ms Bombastic (hor loba loba)

Now I hope they never find this blog

ps. My buddy mention that since we are in the arms dealing business, we should not say these are Nicks, but rather Callsigns

Doc Brown overshot the Future

Dun hurt me CB

1 Crystal Red Shrimp left

I have been taking care of my prawns tank in the office much more than the tank at home. Sadly, the population of the CRS and Cherry shrimp have both suffered several losses.

I cant recall when... but I gotten my first batch of 5 CRS and they all grew to adult in this tank. However I now left with just 1 of them. I do know that some would definitely die off naturally, but well its rather sad to see just 1 survivor (the 4th one die today)

I noted that my tank is starting to smell. May have to look into this. Anyway, I think I may save my money and invest it in the Cherry shrimps. After all, they cost 1/3 of the price.

Proud of my CB

ok for those who doesnt know me that well, the CB (points to the header) is not what you think it is. Though I most certainly am proud that I dun have one.... but this is not the point of the entry. CB here referred to my Chocolate Bunny. And unless you are a fan of Scrubs, you wont truly understand the meaning of Guy Love

ANYWAY..... I am happy that my CB has completed the 40km OCBC cycle challenge. I would have love to cycle alongside with him but well, I have to go at a slower pace to take care of someone.

I do hope CB would keep up the momentum he has started and bike on a regular basis. Perhaps one day he may cycle up to my door steps and surprise me.

In any case, I do hope to be able to cycle down and meet him at Carl's Jr one day for supper. Would have been worth it to cover a great distance before enjoying our bacon burger with double patties.



This is what I mean by Guy Love.

Dont mess with Liverpool fans

Some Man U fan learn it the hard way.

And boy was it funny in a cruel way.

Solar Batt

I seldom post any techie stuffs for a long while, but this is something that tickles me.

This is just a concept (prototype) of the possibility of having a rechargeable battery with solar cells capabilities.

The idea is simple, when the batteries are flat, just place them in a sunny place and they would be fully charged up for your next use.

I thought this is one neat idea. Brilliant aint it

Differences between a Guy and a Gal

I came to realise the single most biggest difference between the species from Mars and the creatures from Venus.

Girls are illusionists, Guy are just disillusion

Girls (pinching an ounce of fats on their tummy): Oh no I am fat.

Guys (looking at a mirror, weighing over 100kg): I still muscular deep inside.

New opening of the Simpsons

After 20 seasons and many many years, the team that brought us the Simpsons has finally revised the entire opening. No longer do we hold our breathe to just catch the glimpse of the couch gag. Its seems to me that its now going to be the entire opening to look out for.

So enjoy guys!

Feeling like JD and Turk

A fellow colleague of mine whom would have been my Turk, has been making up nicknames of people we met at work with me.

Its like a Scrubs moment where we called people we dont know in funny nicks.

So far the following have been taken

1. Beijing 101
2. Shrek
3. Donkey
4. Ms Bombastic (hor loba loba)

Boy are we all enjoying this.

Movie to catch

I caught Slumdog Millionaire and would strongly recommend it.

In the meantime, I would be awaiting to catch Fanboys.

PS. I wonder why these are 2008 movies and its already Feb 09 and we still have not caught it here

Happy Valentines

(you need to be a starwars fan to kinda understand this)



Well I know I am a day late. But hope everyone out there has a nice time with their special someone.

Born Old

The funny thing when I started this post was that I intend to talk a little about Benjamin Button and how he grew younger.

But the main thing I needed was a commercial I saw of a Car on TV. I had wanted to use that as a interesting element to help me with this post. But sad to say, I search youtube high and low and could not find it.

I thought it was a commercial on Mercedes Benz, but I couldnt find it. So I search BMW, Audi and volkswagen. After all I am quite sure its a European car commercial. ALl return to be futile. Alas I gave up on searching as well as writing that post. YOu just have to trust me that this is one hell of a good movie.

PS. The ads goes something like this.

"We should all be born Old, take the first few years off. ....... And in our Prime we buy a car...."

oh well...

Pixar movies

I bet you already know that some of the Pixar's movies contain snippet of their next project. Like how Nemo appeared in Monster's Inc.

But you probably din know (and I din as well) that almost throughout all Pixar's animations contains a reference of their past and future projects.

Now I know what I would do when UP comes out

Snow - Informer

Back in the days when I still wear shorts while attending Sec school, I chanced upon this Rap song by another White artist (other than Vanilla Ice).

It was catchy. It was cool. And no one has any idea what he is rapping about.



Here is the original Vanilla Ice. The first known White Rapper

Blading down the ECP

It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. The sky was bright, with a gentle breeze coming from the sea beyond. The sights at the ECP was beautiful. Crowd of family gathering, the kids running around endlessly, the girls in their bikini top passing by. Ah yes, ECP is a nice place to spend the afternoon indeed.

I took the opportunity to blade and parked the car at the carpark closest to Ford road. It has a nice gentle slope that leads to the cycle/blade track and would mean and easy time for me to put on my blades and gears before heading for the long sprint.

Its been about 1 year since I attempt this challenge to master the straight wheelers. Not an easy task since I had no specified training. I just put it on and find my balance. Letting the wind or slope dictate my direction initially (i kid)

Now I am able to move fairly well. Able to stay on 2 feet and not on my butt or back. I just need a little more time and little more confident. Quite sure I would be able to get up to speed and not let everyone overtake me.

Just at the resting point, somewhere before Bedok Jetty, where I probably have slided and scraped through 5km. I came to realise that I am running late. I need to be back fast and decided to attempt racing back in my blades asap. And it was a silly move.

I bladed like never before. Its no longer a leisure pace which I started off from. I had to blade fast and blade nonstop. At the midpoint, somewhere passing the Mac, I felt the strain and the pain in my feet were developing. Much like the Std Chart Run, I bite the bullet and held on.

I reach back my car in 40 mins. Remove the blades and jumped in. Started the engine and drove off. Reached the traffic lights and checked my feet. Saw the blisters and sighed. All in all, I thought I did not bad. But well, I shall never attempt this again.

Oh and there were a couple of cars racing down the ECP (expressway part). They were reving rather loudly. I din managed to catch a glimpse, but could have guess that he might look something like this.

Best Tennis point i have seen

Pretty much explains itself

Life changing decisions

There are times when you have to make decisions that may affect the life of others.

In a "unrelated" news, I have transferred the big filter meant to push out 300 liters of water per hour from my home tank to my mini prawns tank at work.

I turned down the knob to the absolute minimum so as not to cause too much turbulent in the tank. And it just pushing out maybe 30 lit/hr at the moment.

This would help with the flow of water, clear up the dirt and most of all introduce air to the water.

Just to give you an idea of the size. 2 of this filters would be the size of my tank. So basically it looks like I strapped a giant turbo charge engine onto a mini cooper.

Like Jeremy Clarkson might say, Whats the worst that could have happen.

Wallets

While the ladies are more in tune with their jewelery, handbags and shoes, we MEN love our accessories.

I enjoyed the design of watches but this time round, I am fascinated by the designs of these limited collections of designer wallets.



They just made 275 of each designs. A unique collection indeed

to be 30

I get this remark from my mom a couple of years back. She said to me when I was 26, that when she was my age, she was already carrying me.

and it gets better.

Throughout the CNY along with a younger cousin's wedding a week before that. I have been bombard by questions from my worrying aunts on my possible future.

"Boy ah, you not getting any younger."

"Should settle down soon."

"Dont wait too long."

And to top it off, my younger cousin presented me an ang pao even though she is only married for 1 week.

Well I know that I am not getting any younger. Secretly wishing I have the powers of Benjamin Button (opening this week). But life is not all about finding the one, settling down and having kids.

I am comfortable with where I am now. I have worked for 3 years on the same job. It gives me chances to seen parts of Europe. And yet there are still plenty more I wish to do. (ok lets not drag this part)

And when it comes to finding the right one, this is not the simplest task. Its not like I would stop at a Vietnamese Bridal shop and pick a SYT to be my wife.

In fact, I have seen too many cases of friends who tie the knot, only to find out that they are not suitable. Perhaps they were too into the thought of the wedding that they do not foresee the married life.

Anyway, there is a time and place for everything. And I know for myself when this would be. It may take a while, or it could happen the very next week. But nevertheless I would know when it is the time for a change.

Till then, I would just hope to enjoy watching Brad Pitt grew younger.
