Penang Beauty Fair

Am tired today cause working 5 hours on a Sunday afternoon.Its never my kinda of joy to work on the Sabbath. So when i got home and pampered by Shy Yunn with HOME COOKED DINNER, naturally i was happy......... till i remember that i had to go to the beauty fair with her. Normally she would get her girl gang to accompany her to "rock" the fair. But since this was the USM convo week so she was left solo.

Anyway being the big tough gorilla that I am, I agreed to bodyguard her against any funny breast groppers. Boy am i glad that i tag along, i get to all plus plus.



The brand is called Lightness. Its supposed to be a result of Japanese tech, a Hongkies company and just hit MYS for about a year. The owner was supposed to be a curvy 40+ Aunty called Rabbit Wong. Hehehe. Anyway SY found that the corset kinda thingy helps is keeping her body straight not to mention uplifting her boobs and ass at the same time. Took a peek at her dressing room and could swear the cup size increase 2 sizes. Serious lar wooi.



After some basic manuvering test, which included necessary the jump and squat test, we finally bought it. Kinda pricy too for a three piece corset. But it worth it since it can at least last about 5 yrs with titanium wires. We got together for a group photo.

There is also some free makeup from Legend and its kinda cool.

Ang Pow Tree N me

I guess i got hyped over during the Ang Pow Tree thing so i stopped to take some photo so i can camwhore it.Little did i know that i got ambushed by a reporter from the Star and the China Press. I was trying hard to avoid them close to me cause i was smelling like a sock since i just got back down after a grueling 3 hours climb from Peanag hill.


The reporter ask me a bunch of tricky questions mainly on how i felt about the tree and the behaviour of the people there.

Reporter: How to u feel about the resident attitute to the ang pow tree ?
Me: Everyone is entitle to thier beliefs and oppinions. I klnda like what they did to the tree, looks much more beautiful with ang pow fluttering in the breeze. Like a giant Santa Clause.

Reporter: Have u heard about the council to fine anyone hanging ang pow on the tree?
Me: No. But not suprising. MPPP has always have funny policy which cause it to be in the limelight than to clean public toilets, mend the road and fix street light.


IMHO the tree is harmless, those people are harmless, if Hongkies can have their Couples Tree why can;t Penangies have their Ang Pow Tree. Silly of MPPP to trying to impose fine and cut down tree because of some silly notions that we are destroying public propety. If we can put more ang pows to bus stands, phone booths and toilets it will definately look better.
Just my two sens

Ang Pow Tree Trimed

The lower branches of the bunga tanjung tree which people have been hanging red packets with their favourite 4-digit numbers were removed by Penang Municipal Council workers.

But by the following day more than 200 red packets were waiting to be placed on the lucky tree.

Rumors has it that a Bangladeshi worker who did not even have enough money to eat wrote his number on the electric pole next to the tree and ended up with a small fortune.

But a resident who declined to be named said the crowd had become a nuisance.

Tree of Fortune

A giant “ang pow tree” in Rifle Range, Air Itam, here, is drawing people from near and far to hang hundreds of red ang pow packets on this shady tree.

Punters are said to have struck it rich after writing their favourite 4-digit numbers on red packets and stringing them up on the tree.

Volunter helping punters string up “lucky ang pow” packets on the tree’s branches.

The tree has attracted punters from as far as Johor Baru after claims that many have struck it rich.

Retired cook Chuah Eng Lum, 60, said it all started when the Laughing Buddha appeared to him in a dream in April. “He said luck was coming to Rifle Range and told me to find a tree for the red packets,” he said. “My friends and I decided to try it out with our special numbers for fun. To our surprise, we won a small fortune.”

Since then, Chuah said, people from as far as Taiping, Alor Star and Johor Baru had travelled to Penang to “pay homage” to the tree of fortune.

My cousin Kyle

Kyle is secondary school kid who full of life.A born cat lover. I meant especially a black cat. Guess wat's its name. No prize for winning.


Blackie is darn playful for such a thin cat. He loves to bite and claw everything tat moves. Especially my finger.. Guess it look much like a huge sausage to him. Huh. He has remarable posture and at times, looks like a stalking tiger.

Smallest Egg in Malaysia

Teacher Ong Hock Eng, 51, found the perfectly formed egg in his motorcycle basket at his home in Batu Maung here on Thursday evening. It is considered the smallest chicken egg ever laid in Malaysia. Measuring 1.6cm by 1.2cm, it is smaller than a 10 sen coin and has a more rounded shape.

Keropok Lekor -Rags to Riches

She makes keropok lekor for a living and drives to work in a BMW. Kak Nor or Norzaleha Mohamad is the Terenganu state's and probably the country's only supplier of frozen keropok lekor which happens to be one of my favorite food. High in fish protein with crispy texture.


REWARDING VENTURE: Kak Nor standing next to her BMW outside her factory in Chendering near Kuala Terengganu recently. – STARpic by VICTOR K.K. NG

Even if you have munched on these snacks in Johor Baru, Penang or Perlis, chances are her company supplied them.

She sells 20 tonnes of the product per month, which is transported to major towns from her shoplot factory in Chendering near here.

She makes the frozen keropok lekor from tamban fish (sardine-like fish), which is brought from Johor. It is cut into smaller pieces and vacuum-packed in 1kg packets.

The pieces are deep-fried and sold in corn cups. It is eaten with chili sauce.

Hundreds pray for the victims

Hundreds of people, including foreign tourists, gathered to pray for the souls of those 52 victims who perished in last year’s tsunami.

At Pasir Panjang beach in Balik Pulau, a group of priests from the Pu Zian Temple led more than 100 devotees in prayer. One of the devotees, Mak Kam Weng, 39, who lost a five-month-old baby, said: “I cannot forget the tragedy. Yuan De was our eldest child.”

A tourist from Sweden, known only as Denny, said: “I just want to pray and hope it will not happen again.”

Even the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas is expected to attend the tahlil and plant a casuarina tree at Pasir Panjang beach in memory of the dead

Bak Kut Teh splasher shot dead

Three men had turned up at Soo’s stall around noon, two of them were armed with pistols. One fired a warning shot in the air before ordering about 30 customers to hand over their wallets and valuables. While one of the robbers went around collecting the items from the customers using a plastic bag, the two armed men stood guard.

Soo Lee Choo(46) had walked out from the kitchen, splashed hot soup onto one of the robbers. On seeing this, some customers dashed towards the robbers and tried to fight them off.

During the commotion, Soo was shot several times. The robbers then fled in a getaway vehicle driven by an accomplice. What is this country coming to. Will we need to get arms to protect ourselfs?

A Hero or a Villian

When u see a man running amok, slapping and punching everyone within range.
What do you do?
Cleaner Soh K X had no doubts. After all, he had been hit as well.
So he hit back. Again and again and again. Until the man was subdued.

This drama unfolded yesterday at about 9.30am when many were tucking into their breakfast at the Ghim Moh market and food centre at Block 20 on Ghim Moh Road.

Now Mr Soh, 49, is a figure of controversy. Some passers-by felt he had used excessive force because he was seen hitting the man repeatedly whenever the latter tried to break free. If it was me, i will thank Soh and then wack the guy somemore.

Small But Smart

He has not even started Year One but six-year-old Adi Putra Abdul Ghani from Bagan Serai is already solving Additional Mathematics problems meant for Form Five students.

He is so popular that he now conducts two hours of mathematics tuition daily at his mother's tuition centre in Taman Seri Permai in Bagan Serai. He is being paid RM5 an hour per student taught at the tuition centre.

State Education, Human Resources and Multimedia Committee chairman Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, who visited Adi and his family at their home yesterday, said: “I am convinced Adi is a whiz kid.”

If he is really a whiz kid at least now we can have our own Albert Einstein, Haha

Singapore Sexpo

At Sexpo Singapore 2005 the visitors will see Angel Tan, with a devil’s head tattoo on her bare shoulders, pole dancing. Hahaha in jeans and not bikini mind u. Even TV Smallville Lois Lane show more flesh than Angel Tan.

The 23-year-old exotic dancer was the main attraction at the booth of ViCon, a company that markets vibrator massager rings and condoms. (Probably from Geylang)

In the end the Singapore Sexpo is not as “entertaining” as those organised in Australia which have autograph sessions with porn stars, strip shows and love making demonstrations making it a rather lame attempt to try boost the population.

Future Yoga?

Manasa Yoga is an intergration of posture and breathing and meditative techniques
to help the practitioner achieve the meditative state. It is supposed to be a careully thought sequence to impart the essence of yoga in its truest form.

Using the tools of body, breath and awareness, Manasa Yoga supposed to guide its practitioners to realise and celebrate their infinite inner potential.

However though it looks more like spiderman/frog man training to me.haha

Kisah 3 Government&Church vs Jessie & Joshua

Acording to the lastest saga of the Jessie Chung and Joshua Beh, In the eyes of the law and religion, they are not yet wife and husband. Malaysian laws do not allow its citizens to change their gender in their identity cards despite having gone through a sex operation (according to Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid.)

His deputy Datuk Tan Chai Ho added that the marriage was “invalid” as the Marriage and Divorce Reform Act 1976 does not allow marriages between two people of the same sex, even if one of them has undergone a sex change operation.

National Evangelical Christian Fellowship secretary-general Rev Dr Wong Kim Kong said it does not approve marriages of the same sex even after one partner has changed his or her sex.(hmm seems complicated)

If the legal battle fails, it looks like the couple will need to migrate/flee the country.

Uthama Patcha (Grand Prayers)

Over 50,000 devotees gathered at the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple in Batu Caves to witness the first time that the ceremony( aimed at renewing the power of the temple and deities) was held in Malaysia. (reminds me of recharging battery)


It had been known to be performed only twice before in other parts of the world. The highlight of the ceremony was the Maha Kumbabhisegam prayers conducted by six high priests from India. The priests took the holy water and poured it over the kalasam (domes) at the temple's six main shrines. The holy water was collected from seven rivers in India – the Ganges, Yamuna, Godavari, Narmada, Sindhu (also known as Indus), Kaveri and Vaigai – deemed as holy. The priests then sprinkled the holy water and threw flower petals on the devotees. The prayers could only be held once in 12 years and usually after renovation works.

Kisah 2 Blood proposal wins her heart

LEGALLY, they can't get married. They can never have children. Their love can never be recognised in a Malaysian court of law. Terrified of ruining his life, she rejected his proposals - even though it broke her heart.And yet, he persisted.

He proposed again and again.(is he mad, is all girls in malaysia dead!)
It took six proposals - and six rejections - before Miss Zhong Jie Xi (hanyu pinyin) agreed to marriage. And even then, it took a letter written in blood in front of more than 100 friends that finally broke her strong will. (i should try this method on SY, it will shock her, hehehe)

Kisah Zhong Jie Xi (Jessie Chung)

Jessie Chung, whose original name was Jeffrey Zhong Xuan Tai, underwent three major operations to become a woman three years ago. She(then he)decided to *change* after dating Joshua Beh an accountant from Ipoh.

The marriage was blessed by peninsula-based Charismatic Church.Three pastors from Bountiful Harvest, Shepherd’s Centre and Assembly of Love presided over the solemn ceremony attended by some 800 relatives and friends.(so sister, church do allow trans marriage,hehehe)

The couples’ parents gave their consent for Chung and Beh to tie the knot and left their signatures on the marriage documents.

The couple were believed to have spent over RM1mil for the wedding, which included the purchase of a RM700,000 bungalow and a Ssangyong Chairman limousine worth RM300,000 as their bridal car. The wedding reception is said to have cost about RM200,000 while the photography cost about RM40,000.

//This shows that if got money in Malaysia, semua boleh//

The Winds of Penang

The Winds of Penang, the gigantic jati deadwood that was left to crumble near Penang Hospital before a Japanese sculptor turned it into a work of art, was placed onto three cylindrical bases near the Magazine Road-Penang Road junction.

This will be the permanent “home” of the masterpiece created by Katsumi Mukai, a wood artist for 25 years whose works are displayed in numerous galleries and outdoor locations worldwide.

In my oppinion this is the wises move ever made by MPPP. At least i am going there to get my photo shot there. heheh

Wuxia

The word wuxia fiction is translated as martial-chivalric fiction. The simplest way to describe this genre is to define it as Chinese swords and sorcery. Most people become familiar with wuxia, through films such as A Chinese Ghost Story, Swordsman and Zu.

Recently out of curiosity, I research some story background and found them to be sourced from work of Jin Yong. After some searches found English translation of these novels. After some reading, I found them amazingly refreshing with their endless plots and martial prowess. Enjoy!

Deeparaya

Deepavali and Hari Raya is just around the corner, Everywhere can be seen with decorations to usher in the two festivals. Some of them blended Malay and Indian cultures in the decorations to have a cross-cultural effect for the double celebration.

Street light decorations have also been strung up across Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling where the Kapitan Keling mosque is located. The Little India enclave nearby has also been brightly lit up with various decorations.

This is Malaysia where we have multi-race celebration unlike Indonesia killing 3 christian schoolgirl. If i am there i will blow the killer away with my shotgun then chainsaw them into bits. Judge and executioner all in one.
