Young Talents

Yesterday, while at coltair's house, we watched America Got Talent. And there's this 11 year old girl, Bianca Ryan and she surprised me..

Watch this..



Got blown away yet? How could a 11 years old sing like that?I'm 2x now and can't even sing like that..all I can say is WOWWWWWW... coltair then told us she won the show and got 1 million. A millionaire through her own effort at 11! Double WOWWW.

Then before I went to bed, i got itchy hand and went on youtube to search for this 11 years old girl with great voice. And found some other clips. So I guess there's no harm for me to look at the other clips right.

Here's from Britains Got Talent.



Awww..I am completely mesmerized by her. She's so adorable with such a sweet angelic voice. I want a daughter like her!!!So cute without her front teeth..HAHA

I don't know you guys know about Paul Potts not. Just in case you guys don't know about him. Let me show you his clip.



First time I am so touched by opera singing lo...

Then I found this..



LOLLLLLL..when me and Oink watched this..we LOL like there's no tomorrow. But you can't deny that he indeed looks very much like Britney. AND..I think he got a better body than the real Britney.

Ming Corner Cafe

at Jalan Ban Hock. Its been a while since I've blog on FOOD.

Today we had late dinner. No idea where to eat. I asked Oink to drive on as I seek inspiration :-D on where to eat. Then we pass by Ban Hock Road. And I saw this place. This place that I have never been before.

We saw this set dinners. And decided to try.
























Oink ordered Set A with Lamb Shank. I order Set B with chicken chop.

Before the food came, Oink still joked, for 19.50, I wonder what size the lamb shank will be? Maybe its a small piece of pathetic looking mutton and he proceeded showing how big he imagined it will be with his hands.

And when the food came. Oink @@. HAHA.Scroll down and see why..


The mutton was tender. And its doesn't taste too bad. In fact, its quite good. I like it. Oink couldn't stop grinning. I don't know what is it with man and food. I think he's happy that his lamb shank is not as small as he thought, and he's even happier that its rm19.50 only..much much happier that the set comes with red wine and soup.




















I can taste that its marinated with wine. Not bad but its a bit too salty for my liking. I prefer the lamb shank. :D

Total bill came up to RM33.40. Not bad eh?

OUCH!

I went to Krabi early September for 5 days. So chun, they are having some political issue over at Thailand. We were not sure we still can go not. I called the hotels, air asia, everyone. I checked online everyday. And seeing that the counter at KL is still open. We just went for it.

And I didn't regret going.

























The beach so nice man...so beautiful!

But its soo hot there...so so hot...even during monsoon season..

don't believe?

see next photo..

























My poor poor shoulder was sunburnt. And this was on 2nd day! Its so painful, even applying lotion makes me feel like crying, and I can't lift up my hands for I think 4 days O.O

***** BEWARE, NEXT PHOTO MAYBE GROSS TO YOU, IF YOU THINK YOU CANNOT HANDLE GROSS PHOTO, PLEASE SKIP NEXT PHOTO ****

























DON'T say I didn't warn you!!Gross right? I can actually peel it, and got sound somemore! sounds like erm, you know, when you peel off cellotape 'x'

up until now, my shoulders are still dark dark..SOBBB..don't know when will they go back to pretty fair.

Anyway, let me show you my favorite drink..
























Thailand's coconut milk is the BEST...yummm..

Hi,

I'm currently busy. And am mentally and physically tired. Wait for me to recuperate. And I shall con't blogging very very soon.

Two Trees and A Flower

One day, after work, there's this conversation between Oink and Me.


There's 2 baby "money trees" <- direct translation from mandarin :-D. And we were looking at it.























Oink : *Chuckles* The one full of leaves represents me.


























Oink : .. and this one that is balding is you

























me : O.O What?? Why? Why do you say like that?

oink : *chuckles* cos you always go shopping, all the money "shed" like the leaves on the tree..

And I saw him. Awww.. he's so cute and tiny! Cola has quite alot of hair, nose like the mama and the fingers are loooonngg. Oink say next time can hold on a basketball with the hand.

I told Oren I will buy balloons yesterday so that I can give to Redsponge when BB Cola is out..but I forgot! AHAHAH.. and so ngam and so chun that Cola is so punctual, really come out yesterday!

And today, I went to look for balloons here and there. But all shops not open on Sunday O.O, I even went to GH to look for balloons. But they don't have the type I want.

OK, that's all the update on Cola.

I go back to work liao..SIIIGGHHH

WORK WORK WORK!! NEVER ENDING WORK!

I'm bogged down with TONNES of work.

On top of that, recently, there's a series of unfortunate events that happened.

In fact, I'm soooo busy, I can't even bring Mango back to my house for the weekend. *sad*

There's no point bringing her home while I will be stuck here in the office, OT-ing *pulls hair* She'll have better company with my parents.

Physically tired, Emotionally drained, stressed... sigghhhhhhhhhh

I need a miracle to finish all this work in time!!!S-O-S

I Can't Resist

I bathe Mango every Saturday. As she will always try to run away, I had to put her in a pail and bathe her.
























This photos was taken after her bath and before I towel dry her. She was trying to free herself while i got upstairs to get my camera.

And when she saw me with the camera, she froze. Aiseh! not bad , now pandai POSE liao.

Kuching Day Parade

Wanted to post this last night. But then the internet is down. AGAIN. Not sure what's the problem though. So now here I am blogging from office during lunch break.

This year's parade is an interesting one. Its the first time I see a dogs' parade. And also first time go with Jaqq. Jee is parading.

Don't go away, I got photos of SYT (sweaty young thing- not sweet young thing) 'x'

When I got there, the dogs are just getting ready to move.

















Manage to take photo of Oink's favourite breed, a Husky.



Look at these cute toy dogs! So lucky, don't need to march like the bigger dogs.



OMG! Got baby strollers some more, not for babies, but for these furry cuties! Its not easy to take these dogs' photos, I had to run to catch up with them! Run- find an opening- jump in to the opening, SNAP! On a hot night!



The German Shepards, looking grave and gay.


Mr. Adams, posing for me. Its so good to have a DSLR. People will pose for you.



Not forgetting Mrs. Adams, posing for me, although I think she looks creepier and scarier. Must be because not happy Mr Adams walk so fast ahead.

Eh, talking about this, so chun now is the 7th mth in lunar calendar hor??:-p!!


Oink said these group reminded him of "Red Flower Society" from Wong Fei Hung movies. HAHAHAH!


Zorro's Fanclub? They really reminded me of Zorro, and I love Zorro. Ok la, actually this is the SMK Green Road band.



The recyclers. They recycle rubbish to make clothes and accessories! But please hor, don't follow their trend.

A bit more and you'll get to see the SYT.

First I have to move my way pass this VERY HIGH, DANCING CROWD.


They are truly enjoying themselves, dancing, taking photos, videos.



See, I didn't bluff you. Got SYTs.












The SYT standing in the middle. She had this nice smile on her while dancing. Very professional.














The SYT standing on the side. I can feel she's not very comfortable with people gawking at them.













Yes, people in this photo ...










Look at their expressions..I think look a bit 'ham-sap'. Notice the uncle in yellow shirt?I caught him looking at the side SYT very intently. And when he saw that I am taking photos, he turned away!

The parade was interesting but then I think its too short. Shorter than what we had on previous years.

Oh well, after that we went to the food fair and chomp away. I ran a lot, and was super hungry by then.

Streamyx is back!

I looked through the photos I took of the Parade, and plan to post a lot of it.

When I open them with adobe photoshop, JENG! my PC hang..STUPID @&*#%@# PC. Time to change perhaps?

Anyway, I will post them up tonight. :-)

I CANNOT ONLINE AT HOME!

thus cannot blog!

streamyx sucks!

The lady we called said that the switch at our area is not working or what. At first is both the phone line and streamyx is down.
But now the phone line ok, but still streamyx is still DOWN!

can't blog, can't surf, can't watch youtube!

Lucky thing got my PSP!

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I wanna blog about itu Kuching Parade ler...

SIGH..

Feast you eyes on Tandoori Chicken!

Made this last sunday for dinner. But I don't have an oven at home, I went home to my parents and used their's instead! I WANT AN OVEN!



In case you are wondering, I didn't make this from scratch. I cheated and bought the instant Tandoori Mix. :-p This is the 2nd time I did this. Once before i got married. And now after married. And I have to say, I think its much better THIS time. I squeezed some limau kasturi juice on it.AND WALAAA! Its finger licking good. Oink started with Fork and Spoon also end up eating with fingers. The meat is so soft and juicy!




And this is the dishes for dinner. I only cooked the Tandoori Chicken and Lady's Finger. The rest (braised egg and tom yam soup) is curi from given by MIL.

SSPCA ( Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)


San, Malcom, Jackie, Jee, Oink and I went on Sunday (27th July).We were welcomed by Mr. & Mrs. Lim.

San came whispered to me, saying, "EH, cannot take photo."



Mr Lim then explained why they put up notices saying no photos allowed. He told us, there's an incident where a robber came chasing after them, even into the premise, wanting to rob them! And there are also cases where reporters came in, and took photos, and writing articles saying they didn't treat the animals well enough.

Well, I am a good mannered person. So of course I asked Mr Lim before I took any photos of the animal.





I saw puppies, dogs, cats, kitties..lots of them. But a few caught my attention.


I notice this tabby cat, and approached it, but when I got nearer, it started to hiss at me, LOUDLY!

I asked Mrs Lim about it. She said it was abused before. Poor cat!

And this one, looked at me curiously, didn't purr/ meow/ hiss.



And it looked at us, with its one eye. The other eye, was gouged out by it's abuser.



poor cat..it was quiet, looking at us.



Yes, there's a maternity unit at the center. Which I think is very good, its protects the expecting animals/ litters/ puppies from threats/ harm from the others.

I was told by Mr. Lim, the animals are fed with chicken heads and rice. Chicken head! Can you imagine yourself eating chicken head?? They say its the cheapest and what they could afford, as there are soo many animals in the center.

Some people even made holes on the fence/ gate, and then push in unwanted litter/ puppies into the premise.

Mrs Lim also relate to me a story. Its sad to say that it involves chinese. There's these few chinese, they came in, looking at the puppies, and set eyes on the black one. They thought Mrs Lim don't understand their dialect. HA! but they were wrong! And as it turned out, Mrs Lim heard they are planning to eat the black puppy! She said some even came asking for the black puppies' blood! EWWW..that's why she is reluctant to give away the black puppies for adoption.

There's a section of the premise for dogs caught by the councils. I was not allowed to take any photo of it. So I am just going to tell you the story here. If they are sick/ nobody came to claim them, they will be put to sleep within 48 hours! So pitiful ler..as they are afraid that the sick ones will infect the other animals. They had no choice.

:-(



Oink with Mr and Mrs Lim. Oink is our representative. :-p

We manage to collect RM350. Not bad eh?

San and me, has previously spent about RM160 of it on 50kgs of rice and 9 pieces of towels.

We also sorted some newspapers at San's house. Mr Lim told us that they used 5-8kgs of newspapers each day. So guys, if you have any unwanted newspapers at home, instead of selling them for a dollar or less, why not bring it over to SSPCA?

Then the rest we bought 15kgs of dry cat food, 10kgs of dry dog food, a big bottle of dog shampoo at Amazing Pets. Jaqq later topped up rm20 more and Audrey topped up the remaining outstanding balance from the bill. So in total, we actually collected about RM389..not bad eh?

Jaqq's friends also donated some canned food, shampoo and dry food.

Jaqq also manage to get these boxes for the animals.

Mr Lim told me, if people donate cash. They do give out receipt. *hint* can get some tax exemption!


Anyway, here's a story about a cat. It touched me, so I am sharing with you all. And I hope it touches you too.



Animals have life too. They also want love and care.

This post will make you hungry

HELP THE ANIMALS!

Last night, I terkenang my cat...it made me so sad

He died on 22 feb 1998..my mimic..I didn't even have a photo of him..but his face is imprinted in my mind, he lives in my memory..

And I remembered that I once told myself, I should help the needy animals one day. And that one day never happens...there's always something on, things to do..bla bla bla

So last night, I went to check out SSPCA website.

I saw the cruelty cases, it wrenched my heart..

So I told Oink, I want to help! I must help this time!

So today, i started my mission, by emailing 2 animal lovers that I know and messaging up a few frens.

And surprise surprise..what started small, began to grow!

San & Diana - Diana replied she will chip in..San also, she will also accompany me to shop, and she suggest we start a blog on animals..on how to help them. What a great idea! San also help me asked a few others ..and manage to get Pauline, Pauline wants to donate dog food and she is going to buy them late during lunch!

Jackie responded to my message, and manage to ask a few of our colleagues, and she manage to collect RM55 from her side..and she also manage to get a discount card from a friend of her's, Audrey, we can buy supplies at 5% discount at Animal Kingdom!

OH! I am so touched and happy! Overwhelmed is what I can say. Feel like crying! So many good people out there...I am so happy!! to think that my email started around 8++ this morning, and by 12pm the kind act has spread to so many people!!Thank god!! God bless all these people..really feel like crying now.

I will go shopping with San next Saturday on items that cannot be found in pet shop, such as towels and rice. San and I will also be collecting newspapers and boxes from people who are willing to contribute.

And on next Saturday, I will go shop with Jackie and Audrey in Animal Kingdom!

Pls help the animals!

Love it, Love it not?
