excerpt from Reader's Digest November 2008.
Ask Aunty column.
Dear Aunty,
My husband is patient, lovable and caring. He packs my lunch each day with a handwritten love note, changes the kitty litter, mows the lawn, etc. But he's a slob. When he packs my lunch, he uses paper towel to wipe his hands, then wads it up and tosses it on the counter. It'll sit there forever. When he brushes his teeth, he spits all over the spigot ( the drain hole in the basin ). He loves to read the newspaper, but throws it on the couch and it lies there for weeks. I'm no Suzie Homemaker, but I'm not his mother either. How can I get him to clean up after himself ?
Help!!!
Dear Help!!!,
You want help ? Most women would love to have your husband. How about this? While hubby is packing your lunch, composing handwritten love notes, mowing the lawn, and cleaning the litter box, why don't you pick up the newspapers, wipe the counters and then leave him a note telling him what a treasure he is. On behalf of women everywhere, embrace this man !
Possible answer from the hubby, (i think)
Dearest wife !!!,
If I don't need to pack your lunch, I don't need to wipe , right. If I don't read enough, I won't have ideas to compose nice written love notes. If i don't mow the lawn, or clean out the kitty litter, it will be worse than a dirty spigot. I'm not the perfect hubby, but I am not your Wilson the butler either.

Harold and Kumar
Marijuana rocks !!!
This sequel to Harold and Kumar packs a whole bag of laughs that will leave you in stiches. This is the continuation to whats left of Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle. After gobbling up massive ammounts of white castle burgers, Harold mustered up his courage to talk to Maria, but unfortunately she got to leave for Amsterdam for a holiday. Kumar, took this opportunity to convince Roldy to take the next flight out to Amsterdam to go after Maria. So, off they go...
and who says geeks are not romantic, here is an excerpt from a poem , Kumar compose
I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
A three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.
Caution : this show has a lot of racial stereotyping...just laugh about it.

Truly a remarkable man
I read Che Det's blog..it has been one of my most visited website where Dr. M shares his views,uncovered history, his side of his story, his defence of everything that happened under his rule.
che det's blog
I must admit I once thought he is just as corrupt as all the other politicians, and dislike the special Malay rights. Well, no one is perfect, after all. Every human is subseptible to error and subcumbed to temptations.
An evidence of a man with guts and intelligence. click on the following on a man's account on how Dr. M saves Malaysia from the SEA monetary crisis.

Here lies the ancient martial arts, that no other arts can defeat.
That's why all martial art matches have groin guard and no-hitting below the belt rule.

China
The last time I went to China was 6 years ago during a cold wintertime in Shanghai, China was growing and was like a bud ready to burst into a blossoming flower.
This time round , I went there again, to Suzhou, Jiang Su and then Wei Hai , Shandong. China has developed into the factory of the world. 1st sign, polluted air.
Equiped with my pathetic pu tong hua, I survived the ordeal. The 2 cities, aren't english friendly. Wei Hai was more korean friendly than english friendly.
Not knowing pu tong hua, ordering food is a challenge. All I have gotten was bad, cold, oily food with myself. Lucky for me, I have friends cum colleagues over there, and I did get the taste of their local cuisine there. Good , nevertheless still oily to my liking.
And people here drives with their window winded down despite the heavy pollution. I hinted the driver by coughing loudly, yet he turned a deaf ear. I think I might get bronchitis if i stayed longer there.
Alcohol experience was good, but pubs and clubs are not so fun. To my liking, there are many good chinese beers. I tasted Harbin beer, Tsing Tao beer, and another variant of Harbin beer. The verdict, I like Tsing Tao. Fact, Tsing Tao is not commonly available in Suzhou and Shanghai. They are common in east china.
In Suzhou, I got to taste of Nu Er Hong. It is like a medically infused , brewed for many years kind of alcohol. How about that !!!, getting intoxicated in a healthy way. My verdict, I would say, it is very tonicly nice, sweet , herbally and alcoholic. I bought a bottle back...then my friend in Singapore tell me it is also available here.
Wei Hai experience was good. It is interesting as i was informed, 90% of the city tax comes from Korean factories. Hence it is very korean friendly and english is hardly spoken here. Lucky for me, I got my korean colleague there, so it was quite helpful.
Well...overall, China is not to my liking. Economy is definitely booming. The goverment is definitely building the country.People are hardworking. However, I still find people are more kia su than Singaporeans and rude in general. Talking very loudly in public, standing close to you until you can feel their breathing, impatient, and very aggressive driving are a few bad habits of them. Luckily I didn't saw anyone spitting.
Well, I have to go back there sometime for work again. Hopefully it will be a much better experience.
My korean friend and I were reminiscing the times in Bangkok.

Is Death ever accurate ?
It was a busy week, so taking a breather, I went to caught this film "Accuracy of Death"
It starred Takeshi Kaneshiro as a Grim Reaper. He has man best friend , a cocker spaniel as his companion. His task is to judge and decide whether his subject deserves to die or not at that given moment. In other words, is the death accurate at that time ?
Cool movie with a twist in the end. Nice song. Expected Meet Joe Black but turns out to be better. Instead of a grim movie, it has hilarious anecdotes too.
Cool song in the end...
With the company of 2 good friends...nice

Thought : Life experiences are cyclical
Just some serious rambling.
Why are we here on earth for ? I often ask myself that. To be happy? Can someone be constantly happy...I doubt. To be simple, well..go be a single cell organism, that is as simple as it gets.
Like economics, life experience is cyclical. Ups and downs, happiness and sadness, achievements and dissapointments, trust and betrayal,success and failures, advance and retreat, health and sickness, birth and death and it goes on. Gosh, this is like the yin and yang thingy. Although there is both positive and negative, but the magnitude is never balanced, hence a constant change.
My current mindset, go through all of them except death la..of course.
Be true to your goals, achieve it, be happy, cannot, then be sad. Then, wake up, and continue to seek. When it ends, it ends.
Be specific in goals too.
Life is temporary. your name , legacy and your life is what you left here when you leave.
So Henry, my life also tough...

Half-F*cked
*This post almost non-sexual
Half fucked. A incomplete f*ck. Unsatisfied. Wanting to but Unable to. Pathetic.
Metaphorically, in a way or another , half fuck is inability to fulfil something we have committed, promises, goals, dreams...and the list goes on. Plans, schemes we had but lack execution. I wonder what went wrong.
Follow Through I lacked.
Procrastination, Distraction ,and Slothfulness are added.
I just realised, most happy and complete people goes all the way. Follow up and follow through are their personalities and assets.
I want a full f*ck.

How True ....
I got this from those emails you get from your forward-whatever-is-2b-forwarded colleagues. And I laughed the moment I saw it. And I am going to print it out and put it on my cubicle. But that would be unfair to my nice boss.

August Rush
I caught a cheesy, heartwarming, tear jerking, movie with a great soundtrack on the flight back from Amsterdam.
Running out of movies to watch, so I chose this. August Rush.
And I heard it was showing in Singapore whilst I was away.
Albeit much predictable, with some cheesy scenes, it caught me trying hard to hold back my tears. The scores are wonderful, the rojak of jazz, gospel, rock and classical were beautifully woven into this masterpiece.
It's a good movie from the romance, action, horror genres which crowded the movie scene.
Here is the last part of the movie.
Music is everywhere, all you got to do is listen.

Valentine's Day
Well, I didn't get rip offed. There are many ahead of me. Restaurants are fully booked.
As I walked the streets of Orchard Rd, I saw a of guy carrying bouquets, girls in their best. For the singles, they hung out with their buddies, over drinks, dinners.
As for me, shopping, neo-prints, wine, cheese and prawns sums it all up. At least I didn't get rip offed.

It is Chinese New Year already ...
Time sure flies. I can still remember my Chinese New Year last year...blink... and It is Chinese New Year again.
Relatively, when we were young, we can't wait to get older, time is so slow. And now, as we aged, we wish time don't pass so quickly.
If I can extract Einstein's theory correctly, if we live life slower than others, time will be slower. Time is relative. The more we rush for things in this fast-paced world, the faster we will be older.
On the other hand, if we live life slower, we lose out when everyone else is fast paced. Imagine, we still use mail while other people uses email.
In this life predicament, sigh..what's the best way?
Well..I don't know for now. Momentarily, I choose to live life slower, and always try to be more efficient.

Thrifty, Frugal, Provident, Sparing, Parsimonious, Stingy, Miserly
Thrifty, Frugal, Provident, Sparing, Parsimonious, Stingy, Miserly , all these meant the same thing , but describe different behaviours.
And excerpt from a online article i read recently explains all that.
" The English language is rich with words to describe personal economic behavior. There are words people use when they're happy that you're not spending too much: thrifty, frugal, provident. There are words people use when they're not so sure: sparing, parsimonious. These are the words people use when they're unhappy that you're not spending more: stingy and miserly.
The fact is, though, that these words work pretty well for marking the dividing line between normal behavior and crazy behavior."

Recently I encounter Websites like that are helpful for frugal living and tips and tricks for other things as well. It explains why some of us do ways differently.

Ushering in 2008 with High Society
two zero zero eight is here.
Macroly what I've known so far,
...its a election year for US and for Malaysia. Its a China Olympic year.Its the year of the RAT. Its a bad year for whose zodiac signage is Horse. The US subprime issue continue to haunt the global markets. Its a Euro Cup year. It is a leap year.
As for me, life still goes on.
known little to all, I have a resolute blog in which I pen my resolution yearly. Gladly I have achieved 80% of my 2007 resolutions. 2008 ones are going to be tougher but similar.
to my friends/readers , please challenge me for new additional resolutions. give me fresh new ideas.
My NYE was spent with friends from my hometown, friends whom i grew up with, and girlfriend. We had a simple cold storage dinner followed by Sake, Good Wine ( Wolfblass Cab Sav 2006), Alize Passion. We watched Sex and the city and i lost 10 dollars in BlackJack. All this with songs in the background compiled by High Society. Wonderful Songs.
I almost broke my 2007 resolution by drinking more than 5 drinks, but i realised, its mignight...into 2008..so it does not count.
Another year herein.
