Pandora's Box

Was watching Stephen Chow's Journey to the West: Pandora Box (for the 7th time) on SCV on a certain afternoon... towards the end, Sun Wu Kong said a sentence... and this sentence was subsequently used in several other movies.

I personally find this sentence very emotionally laced, and I like it. I cannot remember the full verse, but its something like the below:

程经有一份真承的爱情摆在我眼前但我却没有珍惜。。。
等到失去了却后悔莫急。。。
世上最痛苦的事莫愧于如此。。。
如果老天能让我再来一次，我会对她说“我爱你”。。。
若要在这句话套上一个期限， 我希望是一万年。

TRADITIONAL PORCELAIN PIG KORO

YES! I FOUND IT! xD

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this on the shelf! This is the famous Traditional Porcelain Pig Koro! Its an incense burner where Japanese use to burn incense during the summer to ward off mosquitoes~

I have been wanting to get this for a long time!
(No way I am gonna tell you where I bought this >p ; even if I do, sorry, I wiped off the shelf clean of all these Pig Koros.)

Aren't they cute~? I bought 3; one for HH, one for myself, and one more for any lucky friend who's gonna celebrate birthday. However, after taking this picture, I have decided not to separate them. Both look so cute~!

Got this "bao" from HH; bought from The Central. HH told me to eat this after my shower. . . well, I just came out from shower and enthusiatically started writing this blog-entry. . . lemme try it and tell you how it taste...

*Grabs packet. . .*
*tear. . .*
*smell...* smells like chinese "bao"...
*lick...* oily surface... (>,< )
*bite!* Hmm...
Hmmm~
Hmmmm~~
HMMM~~!!!
NICE!!!

The white skin is crusty and thin; the inside is filled with thick rich red-bean paste with a tingle of japanese rice-wine! Ooo, so sinful~!

Oh well, since I am snapping pictures away at home, I might as well take the chance to show-off some of the cute little things I have bought...

Little black devil handphone beanbag... simply adorable...

And I am the proud owner of this cute little handphone! Only L:9cm, W:3.5cm, 1.5cm thick!
MP3 phone and Micro-SD memory-card expandable!

VIVO City

Fun filled evening! 3rd time to VIVO, but first time to go to the top level. Its like another world up there. Seeing lotsa couples up there soaking their feets in the water or strolling knee-deep in the water brings back memories of me and HH. Ha ha. . .

My colleagues are a bunch of very trigger-happy ppl with a camera. My time in the company and all the photos i took in a month there can be more than what I took in a year with my usual camera-shy friends. Dinner outing: $20; Camera: $600; Fun-filled Memories: Priceless.

Look at what we did with a wall of bushes. . . we laughed so hard we were perspiring. . .

Looks real eh?

Dinner table. . .
Oh did I mentioned we harrassed Mr Big 'O Cow outside Marche? We were on the verge of posing a picture with us squeezing milk. . . xD

Mother's Day

Yea~ its Mother's Day. I know (becuz HH told me before), so Sunday i took my mum to see her mum. . . xD

As usual, grandma asks for HH. So did a couple of my aunties. Wish she was here too, but I know she has her mom to accompany as well =)

Lunch was a nice buffet, i was hungry by then anyways. . .
Menu includes. . .
1) Fried-rice
2) Green Green Broccoli with Mushrooms (=__=)
3) Ebi Tempura (Yummy!)
4) Mutton Curry
5) Soon-Kuay with Sweet Sauce
6) Fried-fish with sweet & sour sauce
7) Curry Samosa (Yummy)
8) Chocolate Eclair (Yummy!)
9) Chilled Mixed-Fruit Dessert (peach/sea-coconut/pineapple/longan/cherry/nata de coco)
10) Fruit cordial drinks

Oh did I mentioned that my 4th uncle does such buffet catering for a living? so recently, all my past 3 HDB buffet were serviced by him! Next time I got buffet, I will call him too, cuz the food is good, and got money let own ppl earn better mah hor?

Whole afternoon there. . . so bored until the Chinese Vampire (Jiang-Shi) show aired. Very old film, but never failed to make people laugh. My favourite!

Well, dinner was the same buffet food too. . . (=_=) to my dismay. Ate a little before heading home.

By 6:45pm I am already at THL's place. . . there for dinner outing.
Ended up we called-in KFC and watch The Condor Heros (i was so~ tempted to write "God-Eagle-Swordsmen-Couple xD ).
3-guys on THL's bed eating KFC and watching TV - one of the few things in life you will remember for a long time~ scandalous. . .

TRIPLE KILL!!!

Saturday began in the afternoon; simply becuz I slept until the sun shines on my butt. . . =p
Boring day becuz HH is busy at work to accompany me to Sim Lim to buy DVDs (yes i burnt up all 25 pcs of my DVDs, mostly on Bleach; and without HH, I am simply Fluffly lost without plans).

Its only until evening time did Honda called for DoTA session. YES! I've been waiting for this opportunity to put all my practice into actual combat! Muahahaha~ I was on auto-BLOODLUST mode the moment I stepped into H.I.G.H., I could smell blood in the air. . . I couldn't wait to kill. And you've guess it, I chose all the super-nukers.

Venomancer was the first character for the first game, chosen becuz its one of the few characters you can go one-on-one and sure-win. Instead of the usual item-built, I went out solely on Tangos and Clarity, just to last that little longer with sufficient mp for 3 nukes.

It paid off - FIRSTBLOOD by level 3 by me! xD

Next game was even better - I chose LUNA - one of the characters you wish you will never bump into alone if you're in the opposite team.

Heres what happened:

Saw Honda's Omni-Knight approach me head-on. . .
My LUNA's "Eclipse" just reach its maximum of level 3 with its cool down at 98%. . .
Then Dragon-Knight (enemy too) came up from my bottom right. . .
My finger is already on turbo-speed pressing the shortcut button for 99% cooled "Eclipse". . .
Then Hongren's Bone Fletcher appeared on my top left outta his wind-walk to ambush me. . .
Yes, they planned to gang up on me. . . but. . .
"Dong~!" (Birds-Chirps and the moonlight came channeling down forcefully on all 3 of them...)

Die. . .
Ownage. . .
Double-Kill. . .
TRIPLE-KILL!!!

Slalom Basic: Forward - DoubleCrazy

Bread!!!

Saw this tray of glossy glossy bread at Bugis Flea Market. Cool!
Cannot resist, gotta take a picture of it!
(As I flash out my Hp to adjust the camera, the girl behind the counter thought I was gonna take her picture, so she subtlely adjusted her hair... Like I care! Its the bread that I m interested about! xD )

Food Review>> Aji-Tei @ Bugis Junction

Alrite this "Aji-Tei" is another restaurant brand by Aji-San Ramen, and as much as I hate Aji-San Ramen due to my experience of super lousy customer-service at 2 different outlets + lousy quality of food + unhygenic environment (full of flies) the last time I ate Ramen there, this new "AJI-TEI" restaurant is totally different, totally cool.

Food is cheap and tasty, presentation has standard, environment setting is up to my standard. Hope they keep up the good work. Only thing i can comment is, their menu is full of Japanese words, but has english enplanation, but explain until no point, because in the end, u still dunno what they're talking about.

This was what I ordered> lotsa jelly and mochi + scoop of green-tea ice-cream + a puny little jar of honey, so cute!

And this is what HH ordered> Red Bean Soup with Tang-Yuan. Sweet, real sweet~ Oh, and the plate of red pickles there is sour; just in case the red bean soup is too sweet, u can eat the sour pickles to neutralise the sweetness. How thoughtful!

Some nice/funny pictures to share...

I simply can't stop laughing at how serious looking this sushi chef is when he presents such a gigantic sushi... gotta save this picture up.

WorldCup 2006 fever. I love this artist's CG work; specifically, how he/she managed to achieved the sunshine effect, showing that the subject (girl) is outdoors at the soccer field. Kudos.
Another picture where I laughed until stomach cramp...
Legendary "Ti-Bit"; or "Rab-ger".

Ah~ this is what I wanna learn next..

Steve Irwin Dies while Filming

Updated: 1:36 a.m. ET Sept. 4, 2006
BRISBANE, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44.

Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles Reef near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of the state capital of Brisbane.

Queensland ambulance service spokesman Bob Hamil confirmed that a diver had been killed by a stingray off Lowe Isles Reef but refused to say who the victim was until relatives had been notified.

A rescue helicopter was sent from the nearby city of Cairns, and paramedics from it confirmed the diver’s death.

“The probable cause of death is stingray strike to the chest,” Hamil said.

Staff at Australia Zoo, Irwin’s zoo in southern Queensland, said they had heard the reports but could not comment.

'Crikey!' Irwin is famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchcry “Crikey!” in his television program “Crocodile Hunter,” which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel.

He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction.

Irwin had received some negative publicity in recent years. In January 2004, he stunned onlookers at the Australia Zoo reptile park by carrying his 1-year-old son into a crocodile pen during a wildlife show. He tucked the infant under one arm while tossing the 13-foot reptile a piece of meat with the other.

Authorities declined to charge Irwin for violating safety regulations.

Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. Irwin denied any wrongdoing, and an Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken.

Irwin was also seen as a vocal critic of wildlife hunts in Australia. The federal government recently dropped plans to allow crocodile safaris for wealthy tourists in the Northern Territory following his vehement objections.

Irwin told the Australian television program “A Current Affair” that “killing one of our beautiful animals in the name of trophy hunting will have a very negative impact on tourism, which scares the living daylights out of me.”

He is survived by his American wife Terri, from Oregon, and their daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 in December.
