Birthday Treat

Wow, two of my colleague bought me something from Secret Recipe this afternoon. Since I already had lunch, so I decided to keep it till now. It was piece of Tiramisu cake (My favourite) and chicken puff. Really thoughtful of them. I’m gonna eat it right now as the hunger is striking.

How to control your puppy?

Last month my brother brought back this puppy, he’s a Shih-tzu and Alsation (plus a little mongrel). He doesn’t look like either one at the moment, but hopefully he does when he’s bigger. So this little guy, named Benji have been a pest around the house. He bites everything to pieces. He gets bored very fast so he’s now trying to bite humans, punching holes in our hands, legs etc. He even scratched my neck till it was bleeding. He’s getting out of control. My brother tried whacking him, but to no avail. The only time he’s quiet is when he’s sleeping.

So I have to find a way to punish him for every bad behaviour that he did. Finally I found the solution. I took a biscuit tin and put him into it. Now he’s afraid of that tin. Everytime he misbehaves, we just have to hit the tin and the noise the tin generates scares Benji. Check out the photo I took of him in the tin below :).

I’m 28 today

Wow, getting old at full speed is not something I signed up for but time seems to pass by fast nowdays, right? I guess it’s the 21st centuary thing where everyone is busy chasing their careers and dreams that they don’t spend time enjoying.

I would consider myself lucky to have been born in the center of the year. So what have I achieved for the past 28 years?

- My mum told me that when I was a baby, I used to be so friendly that nearly anyone can carry and talk to me. Normal babies would start crying. I guess till today, I get along with anyone quite easily.

- Studied quite alot. Did o’levels in England, SPM in Malaysia, Diploma and Advance diploma in Malaysia, Degree in Australia. Thanks to my parents who gave the opportunity for all of this.

- Visited England, London, Paris, Australia and Thailand. Many more to go.

- Been through a number of interesting as well as painful relationships that boggles my mind whether or not to end up getting married. Had relationships with different races, strange but true that I’ve yet to have an Indian gf.

- Believe that I have a huge knowledge database in my brains that scares people. Some also think that I seem to know everything, trust me, I don’t. Jack of all trades, master of none.

- Love theme parks especially the roller-coaster. Been to coasters all around the world, including Disneyland in Paris, Alton Towers in London, Dreamworld in Goldcoast Australia, Sunway Lagoon Malaysia, Genting Theme Park Malaysia.

- Been to at least 35% of Malaysia (wish to bring the percentage up by the time I reach 50)

- Tasted all sort of food. Malaysia, Korean, Indonesian, Japanese, Western, Eastern, weird food (including frogs, deers, roaches, worms, rabbits), still believe there are much worst food I’ve yet to try.

- Had quite a number of pets. Dogs, cats, fishes, lizards, Scorpions, hamsters, chicken, birds, bugs.

- Speak 3 languages, learning more but seems to take ages. Especially when not using the language that often.

- Experienced getting myself into deep shit of debt, and getting out of it. Thanks to my dad who help me with this. Now I only have 2 credit cards instead of 7.

- Am in control of my dream. I can dream what I want, I used to solve my programming assignments in my dream. Some call this meditation. My personal favourite is dreaming about making out with famous actresses.

- Can perform OOBE. Out of body experience, used to be fluent at this, but now is taking longer to achieve. Astral travelling is fun, expecially when you can walk through walls.

- Have the ability to read music notes and play some instruments. Used to play the Organ, a little rusty now. Self-taught myself to play the piano, but basic level only. Used to be good at Recorder and Flute during primary school. Play the guitar a little, suck at violin. My ultimate dream is to play the Saxaphone.

- Used to have my own secret language that only I could read. But due to lack of practising, have lost touch with most of the words.

- Scored 140/140 for an entry IQ test at Cotham Grammar School, England. The only person of the school history to score a full mark. Second highest was 138/140.

- Falls in love and out of love very fast. Meaning I lose interest in things very fast. Which is also good because I wanna learn more new things everyday.

- Once solved the Rubik Cube within 5 minutes. Still amazed at how I did it.

- Been through extreme hot weather and extreme cold weather. Experienced Snow before.

- Used to play to Yoyo along with Yo-Hans (back then world famous yoyo player), this was 10 years ago :)

There are alot more experiences that I’ve gone through for the 28 years of my life on earth. Not many I seem to remember right now but I’m surely looking forward to more experiences in life. So it’s happy birthday to me, little old uncle :).

 

The A Team

When I was a kid, in the early 90s, I used to enjoy watching the A-Team with my dad. It was one of those weekly series that we never missed. Along with those group were Macgyver, Knight Riders, Mission Impossible, Bill Cosby and so on. But my personal favourite was the A-Team, Mr T did a very good acting in it. People used to say I look like him. So not they call me Big T.

For Father’s Day last weekend, I decided to take dad for a movie to catch the A-Team. The movie was superb, funny from the beginning till the end. The actors that they selected for the movie was also great. They played their roles very well.

Only disappointment is that the movie seemed to have ended very fast. I guess I’ll just have to wait for the 2nd A-Team

Bangkok not only to Bang Cock

Many of my friends when mentioned that I’m going to Bangkok for a holiday, the first thing that comes in their mind is that I’m going there to screw a few thai babes or “rent” them for a day. But instead I want to prove them wrong. There is tons more to do in Bangkok instead of adding on to their sex statistics.

On the 12th June 2010, we arrived at Bangkok from Pattaya. We checked into our hotel at around 3pm. We stayed at the Grand Tower Inn, I would rate the hotel as average. Not bad, but not too good either. Since it was the weekend, we wanted to visit the weekend market which was about 20 minutes tuk tuk away. For those who didn’t know, tuk tuk is one of the cheapest mode of tansportation in Bangkok. Upon arrriving at the market area, they had plenty of things to see and buy. It’s like a heaven for shoppers. You can even buy breaded dogs there at a very low price.

That night itself, we went to town to get some junks to eat at the hotel at night. We went around looking for Central World, no knowing that it was burned down. We also visited the shrines that were around that area, including a hindu one which is Lord Ganesha. Buddhism and hinduism seems to have something in common.

The next morning we went straight to the tourist spots where the Emerald Buddha, Standing Buddha, and many more were located. Many people there are trying to trick you into trying their boat service, prices up to 700 bath per person. So for those going there do be careful. From leaflets that I check later on, the boats cost only a few baths. We paid 600 bath each, not realising that it was too much. We expected the floating market and so on, but there were only one or two sampan selling stuffs at that moment. I don’t recommend the boat ride at all. Alternatively, do go for the floating market which is about 80kms away from Bangkok. That is where the concept of floating market all started and you should be able to see alot more. The tour agent mentioned that it would cost about 700 bath per person.
