Happy New Year, everyone. 2008 is coming to an end in a matter of hours, to which accompanied with a lot of alcohol and fireworks, we will see 2009. A lot of stuff happened in these past 12 years, most of it gone from memory, but for me 2008, the highlights of 2008 been pretty much been encapsulated in these 9 pictures… (I wanted 10, but the Internet is so slow today I gave up after 9). Beijing Olympics (pic source) . . . The GE2008 campaign (pic source) . . . Battlestar Galactica. Probably the best show ever. (pic source) . . . Living Fountain’s Annual Retreat. . .…

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. *** And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. *** And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.…

Was at the gym yesterday, when this song started playing on the PA system. When the chorus hit, I found myself singing aloud to the song, going “Youre poison running through my veins”. I think the two young musclebound Malay dudes beside me were giving me strange looks in between their bicep curls! 🙂 Long before shock rockers Marilyn Manson, Slipknot and GWAR, there was the original vaudeville horror man himself, Alice Cooper. Named after a 17th century witch, he has a long and interesting history in music since the 60’s, which you can probably find on wikipedia. But for most of my peers, Alice Cooper was popularized through the…

Yesterday was a pretty rough day at work. Before 9am I already had to deal two difficult parties, one of them a customer. The customer is always right, what more when they are buying something worth close to RM1.5million from us. Even until 5pm i had to rush off to PJ to deliver documents to this purchaser and then rush back to office after that. At least after that, the purchaser had pretty much cooled down and things had settled. Another day, another crisis averted. I had a little time left to go the gym and dinner afterwards. After that, i had PT Tutors meeting at Stephen’s house, something which…

In the last ten years of going to Ipoh for holidays, every time we passed by this traffic light junction in New Town enroute either Lou Wong Taugeh Chicken or Foh San dim sum, my wife would tell me that there was this awesome curry mee shop near there. But she never brought me there to eat 🙁 Last trip back to Ipoh, I had to get my mother-in-law to bring me to the shop. Its actually recently moved from an older shop, now its called Sun Chuen Fong. The shop is pretty small, but they sell one thing and one thing only – Curry mee. This is my bowl…

Short trip to Taiping and Maxwell Hill 2 weeks ago, let me just let the pics do the talking. 🙂 En route to Taiping, spent one night in Ipoh to celebrate my sister in law’s 10th wedding anniversary. Good food. Fried chicken was good. Then next morning off to the Taiping, town of Everlasting Peace. I’ve heard a lot about it being famous for old uncles and chee cheong fun, but its a very nice and laid back town, although SOME of the drivers seem to drive like Penangites! The lake gardens. Some good folks were stranded in the middle of the lake while pedalling due to the famous Taiping…
