Today is my Birthday - Dec 30

Birthday... Today is my Birthday. SO WHAT?!

So, I will want to enjoy it myself. Hmm... I am really happy today, just that I don't show it on my face.



30th December 2007, is just another great day in my history. So many people are with me today, so many new people that I met today.



Birthday Lunch with Lilian & Nigel at Marche



I had lunch with Nigel and Lilian at Marche (The Curve Shopping Mall). This was my first time visit to the French Market (a restaurant). This place is fun, you go shop for your food and then they will cook it for you. There are too many varieties, from juices to wine, from vege to steak...of course the pizza & coffee too.



Mushroom Soup & Grilled Turkey Ham



The seafood platters looks delicious, but I ordered the Grilled Turkey Ham with the Mushroom Soup. And save the seafood for my dinner. The serving is fast (just in 10min) and very well tasted. Marche will be one of my frequent-visit restaurant in year 2008, 09, 10, 11...


After the meal, I enjoy myself at Starbucks located in The Borders (a bookstore).


At night, I dine with my pals from my high-school. We had our dinner at the LalaChong Seafood Restaurant. We ordered the Famous Lala (Clam), a spicy steamed fish, hot-plated beancurd, balacan style vege, fried eggs, and the spicy style bamboo clam. I would give 9 out of 10. Wow!! great dishes with affordable price. All for less than RM200.00





We also have cake-cutting at the end of the meal.

Thanks everyone, Nigel, Lilian, Weng Wah, May, Khai Boon, Tjin Ling, Alex, Han See, Seow Wei, and not forget the little ones... Chin Simone, Benson Ho, Chin Keegen, and Wilson Ho.

Michelle, thanks for your gift. FRIENDSHIP FOREVER.

Oi !! Where got logic? This is not Mathematics-lah !

Ai-yo... some time back, we listenned to radio and even TV news, saying that our country's police force is lack in numbers. And the politicians and journalists starts to do analysis and satistics.

And just recently, I got this statement again in one of the radio's morning-talk program.

So with the lastest population in our country, 24,821,286 heads (July 2007 est.)... the ratio for ONE policeman is over to TWO HUNDRED (200) citizens.

That's not the statement!! Not True!! Mana ada logic?

Hey, people... with the 24 million of citizen, not every single one of us is BAD guy? Police only serves the BAD people. Therefore, they should only count those people that are BAD!!! so the figure shouldn't be 24 million heads!

Oi!!! Wake up la... please make the statement and the calculation again.

Anyway, the number of policemen in our country is really insufficient. In other countries, for example, Hong Kong... they will have policemen rounding places. I don't see any policeman rounding my area. Not yours too, right? :)

Friends, let's learn up some Taekwan-do. Hahaha...

The Christmas Story... continues...

Santa's clothes actually is in White color, and he lives in the North Pole. One day (24th December...some 200 years ago), one couple came to him and seeking for help as the couple's wife is going to deliver a baby. And asking Santa to help him as the mid-wife ("bidan" - in Malay language).

And that day, it is snowing heavily. Santa leads them to the barn, so he can set a fireplace with the hay. And it was tough, after hours later... the couples gave birth to a baby boy.
(The couples are Joseph and Mary, and the baby boy is Jesus)

After the delivery, Santa's clothes are covered with blood and became red in color. When he walks out from the barn, everyone saw him wearing a red clothes. And white edges on the collar and sleeves are actually the snow falls on. So that's why we can see the Santa is in red clothes now.



Santa Claus @ The Curve Shopping Mall, Mutiara Damansara


Santa then giving out presents to people to celebrate the joy of the Birth of Jesus.

Therefore, Santa is now the celebrity for Christmas day.

p/s: is just my version...fun reading. please don't sue me.

My version of... Christmas Story.

I have been sharing this story with my close friends since many many years. And yesterday, one of my regular customer visited my retail store and i told him that story. Immediately, we have joy and he suggested to me, do you have a blog? why not post it up there?

I said, I don't want to offend into Religious matter. Sound serious. Then, after think back, is just a story, and i am not creating a hoax, or trying to change history (anyway, who am I), neither no one can prove who is right or wrong in this Christmas story. The existing version might be wrong too (maybe). Ok lah...story time....just for leisure reading...no offends, ok? :)

"Christmas is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. The date of the celebration is traditional, and is not considered to be his actual date of birth."

-- extracted from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas)



Oh yes. I knew about it. Then Christmas is just a celebration after all? Hahaha. That's why many christian don't celebrate Christmas these days.

So now, think back... Who is Santa (Claus)? He is everywhere during December month, hotel lobby, shopping arcade, your friend's house, even on the streets. Hahaha....funny. And we don't see any of Jesus figure (make-up) around. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Why we celebrating the Santa day? Ok. This is because Santa is very important. He has a role in this Christmas day. He must have some connection to this day.

Santa's clothes actually is in White color, as he lives in the North Pole.

Christmas... what do it mean to you?

Hey...have you wonder what do Christmas mean to you? Christmas mean so much to me. I just have to tell you, I love the month of December. It is so joyful, glorious, magical, sensible, and romantic.

Christmas celebration is so special and meaningful. And for this year, I have a new thought to see the different view for Christmas. Christmas day is here to make people more caring and understand people beside them. And not just a ordinary round-the-clock holiday with a silent night.

You see, whoever that cares, will definately go out and spend time to make this celebration meaningful. And those that cares, will surely grabbed the 'ideal' gifts for the person. No one that doesn't cares will do such a thing in their busy daylife. Agreed? :)

One more thing, the pre-Christmas week, people will usually hide-out from their spouse and go shopping. Just to make a surprise for him/her. This will surely showed the relationship and the understanding between them. Very positive.

Conclusion, Christmas celebration is so meaningful, because of the 'get-together' relationship from the earlier seperation by the understanding made between them. Got me? Hahaha... lousy English.

Really don't understand? aiyo... contact me lah. I will explain to you in Cantonese :)

Yesterday, 15th December (Sat)... a tiring day for me. I've set my alarm at 5:30am, and I don't hear a single 'ring' myself...till I being woke-up by my dad. And it was already 6:30am.

I got to rush to preparing myself and goto Allan's house by 7:00am. Today is Allan & Esther's Wedding day. Both of them are my long time friend, and I am so happy that both ended up to live together as husband & wife. Once again, CONGRATULATIONS !!


Allan: thanks dear, for wiping my sweat


As usual, I will be carrying my buddy (Nikon D50) with me to shoot for the day. I never took many shots that day as the 'Canon EOS-1D' tells me that my Nikon D50's flash is distrubing. First thing on my mind, I say to Canon EOS-1D..."Oh really? Then I not use my flash from now on."
Hahaha... what a joke.

Then another thing came to my mind, BBC tells Reuters, hey...your flash is disturbing my shots...and then CNN complains about BBC....so everyone turned off their flash. Hahahaa....so you will see the newscaster reporting a news with a Samsung Plasma TV in black screen.

Confused... Blur Blur...

My First Blog Posted.

Oh. Have been a long long time that I wanted to setup my own blog. Finally, here is it...successfully set-up.

I have so many things and thought to say... always. And I even have my own web site.
Is just that I am lazy to construct it.

Now, www.blogger.com have the function for us to set-up our own blog with their ready-made templates and then host it on our own server. In another word, you can have your blog-site with your personal domain name.

Example, like mine, I can have http://www.isnotdotcomis.net/mbe as my blog URL. (whereby www.isnotdotcomis.net is my registered domain name)

Ok. I think I better learn how to use all the ready-made features in www.blogger.com and then start writing my blog.

Do come back here to read up all my non-sense. Hahaha...
