My Thoughts
This 2-discs album is MADE-OF-GOLD! It consists 31 golden Chinese New Year Songs, by China Legendary Song Birds from the 40s - 70s. My mother used to play most of these tracks, when I was a kid on cassette. Finally EMI reproduced them again in CD.

So emo, when I saw this at the local CD store!

IMO... this is a must buy Chinese New Year Music Collection!!!

It's EPIC!!!

Petition To Have Safer Bus Rides For Long Distance Routes

This is a post taken from http://www.buscrashnomore.blogspot.com/

We, the concerned youths of Malaysia express appalled anger towards the Slim River Bus Crash incident that claimed the life of Lee Nian Ning, Mohd. Zailani and Pang Boon Eng on the 25th of January 2008. This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Despite numerous complaints and public uproar in the past, incidents like this continue to occur. It was reported that the driver’s company had 13 summonses on that bus itself. We find it unacceptable that such a company could have operated that vehicle on the road.

What are the explanations?
Hundreds of thousands of university students just like Nian Ning and us rely on such public transport to travel back home. A human life should not be taken lightly.

How could a vehicle with 13 summonses be free on the roads and not be held by the authorities?
We, the following, hereby demand that the relevant authorities set up a committee consisting of road safety experts and representatives from relevant public bodies to conduct a thorough study to find effective solutions to ensure that mistakes like this do not occur again in the future.

We will not be quiet until we see it in the media that satisfactory measures have been taken.To sign the petition,
please click HERE, and submit your FULL NAME(as in IC. Please don't use your nicknames or initials.) and e-mail. It will be considered one e-signature upon completion.

Alternatively, please send your FULL NAME and IC NUMBER to buscrashnomore@gmail.com.
.

Please do not leave initials or nicknames, only full name is accepted.

We thank you for your co-operation. Let us pray for those who have died to make way for change and keep our fingers crossed that someone, anyone will hear us and enforce that change.Please put this in forums, bulletins, emails, blogs.....everywhere. We need all the support we can get. This is for you as well.

Description
Wario is back with 200 all-new microgames and all-new ways to play them!

Dr. Crygor fixes Wario's busted GBA by tossing in a high-tech piece of laboratory equipment that looks suspiciously like a washing machine. When the GBA emerges, Wario discovers that he can play games by spinning it. Always on the lookout for new money-making schemes, Wario enlists his team of developers from WarioWare, Inc. to create tons of madcap, spin-controlled microgames. Wario can practically hear the "Ka-ching!" as the masses line up for his latest creation.

In WarioWare: Twisted!, you control the action by rotating the entire Game Boy Advance left or right and, sometimes, pressing the A Button. This must be the first game to include a screen warning you to spin your game system around -- but not yourself!

Dusun Ali King Paintball

A buddy of mine - D1 of Band of Brothers invited me to join him for a paintball game at Kg. Sungai Pusu, a small village located at the border of Selangor and Pahang (about 45mins drive).









The Environment
It's a forrest... a durian orchard to be precise. Lots of greens, natural terrain, and smell like a jungle too! An EXCELLENT place!









This is the Admin+Registration+Amunition Depot Booth. Where you make your registration, collect your ammunitions, reload, etc...









What makes Dusun Ali's paintball battlefield interesting, is the natural terrain - a small up hill slope.









The Equiptment








The Briefing
This is really important, regardless you are a veteran or a newbie, because every battlefields or games have their own rules and regulations. Stick with the house rules, accidents & problems will be minimised.









And let the game begins...
This would be my first experience to be on an actual paintball battlefield. I didn't play as a player, but on a more subtle role/noble mission - a Battlefield Journalist.

/kakakaka

Game 01








Game 03








If paintball isn't really your kind of game, and you are there for some reason, you can shower yourselves in the pool, where the water is channeled from mountain stream.








The Team
Meet the team:
01) Torn; (sorry didn't manage to capture the team photo...)
02) Rambo 4;
03) Tyco;
04) Band of Brothers;









I look forward to my next visit here, as I'll be whopping everone's ass!

/kakakakaka

Have fun!

"Remember... This is a gentlemen game... We are here to have fun, not make war." famous quote by D1 of Band of Brothers.

Melaka Dec 2007: Part 02 - Jonker Street



One of the reason that makes me keep visiting this historical city, is the colourful Street of Jalan Hang Jebat, or a more popular/recognisable name - Jonker Street.

This street is full of food, antique goods, old architectures, cultural stuffs, fashions, etc...

On Friday and Saturday Night, the street will be closed, and transformed into a weekly carnival.

There isn't any specific best time to visit, however, I'll recommend 2 weeks before Chinese New Year, or during the Christmas & New Year Eve week. Because during these 2 festive seasons, the streets will put up with extra lights and decorations

It's a definitely an excellent place to hang out and celebrate Count Down!

I took a series of photos and I classified them into various colour themes. And here they are:

Melaka Dec 2007: Part 01



I was in Melaka the last few days before Year 2007 ended. This is like the Nth time of Wildchild & I visiting Melaka. Both of us just love this old city.

The place is just so authentic, historical, arty, cultural, colourful, friendly, and lotsa food!

Here are some glimpse of the city in different time...

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2007 Christmas and a Blessed New Year 2008!

Dear Family & Friends,

It's the most wonderful time of the year again! ^0^

I have a Christmas Story to tell... I inherited a mini Christmas Tree, when my 1 of my sister is going back home to KK years ago. I put it up every year, light up the lights, and play Christmas Songs.









I used to buy 1 ornament each year for the tree too, to mark 1 year celebrating Christmas away from home. However, I stopped doing that, 'cos I noticed I'll have problem putting all of them on my desk later on, If I continue doing that. LOL~ >ip

This is the 10th time I put it up... that's how long I've left home. T.T

Anyway, my mini Christmas Tree, and it wishes everyone - "a Wonderful 2007 Christmas & a Blessed New Year 2008"

^0^


by the way, I've done up a few Christmas Card this year. Feel free to download and use it!

[note]: It's in PDF format, you can print out fall it into half as a card. ^0^









Here by I would like to wish everyone a Wonderful 2007 Christmas & a Blessed New Year 2008.
