My Dreamed DORAEMON's Car!!!

Yesterday I had bump into Tokyo Motor Show 2007 website, & I found there's was a concept car called [Nissan Pivo2], Its shape much like my favourite cartoon hero: Doraemon... I really like it very much, my collegue laugh at me & said that its was actually "Char Bor Chia", I don't really care about that!

But I'm just curious whether would it suitable to be drive in Malaysia? If "Suey Suey" kena hit by other cars, would it become "Ham Chim Peng"?

I believe that kind of car's prize also not very cheap lor... No $$$ buy, can see it here also not bad what... hehe :p

Here's some description about my dreamed Doraemon car:

[Nissan Pivo2]
Nissan introduced the first PIVO concept two years ago here in Tokyo, and perhaps what's most surprising is that they decided to build a second one. The PIVO2 looks like it’d be a perfect mascot car for a baseball team, with its spherical passenger compartment sitting on a 4-wheeled platform.

The wheels can be turned in any direction and the passenger compartment itself can spin 360 degrees. Each wheel is fitted with an electric motor with power coming from advanced lithium-ion batteries. Not only is PIVO2 friendly to the environment, it also takes care of its driver.

A "Robotic Agent" is fitted into the dashboard that recognizes the facial images of the driver, providing not only useful information for vehicle operation, but also "speaks to you to cheer you up or to soothe you accordingly." Don't look for this car driving down public roads anytime soon, but its quite popular here in Japan.

Karaoke Nite :)

Last Sunday evening, Some of my volunteer friend: ST, XC, HC, XL, CL & Me six of us went to Kbox to celebrate XL's birthday. We're enjoyed very much during the karaoke session, there were filled with our laughter everywhere :) Not forget also to send my best wishes to my dear dharma friend XL, Happy Birthday & all the best to you :)

Attached was the short video clip taken using my stupid camera phone. I dunno what's wrong with the setting, my phone was just allowed me to record for only 1 mins... plus the video quality also very "Jiak Lat"! Hmm... for better quality, seems that It's the time for me to get a Digital Camera liao... I'll definetely go & get one right after my Pay day... hehe :p



I like & enjoyed singing very much, still the same for me to choose Leslie's song & some old song (most familiar mah...:p) to sing. Remember last time I did tell you all that one of my friend CL, which her voice really much like "Anita Mui", you also may found her in the clips too... That day, I was actually just recorver from flu, my voice might not so good. Hopefully I'll sing better on our next Karaoke session :)

The moments we get together...

Just now while after lunch break, when I search for some of my passed old photos in Flickr, I just realised that haven't complete the post regarding my Penang Trip few weeks ago...

As time goes by... very fast... Its already 3 weeks liao. So let's continue with the story while we had a gathering in one of the most happening place called "Autocity" in Prai.

While we're on the way to Autocity, I feel that there are something strange & Weird. Dragon seems very quiet, everyone inside his car was also quiet too, except the car radio. Get to know from his blog, that he was actually very tired & exhausted. I'm feel so sorry & Paiseh abt that too... Indeed, Driving really need to pay lots of attention. As a driver, I understand too.

We reach there around 7.30pm, get to know from Taugeh that some of our PGHK members was already there. Due to Festive season, Its very hard for us to get a parking lot. Poor Dragon, he had to round here round there then can only found a parking space. While step into [Ice Ice Baby], can saw Motoleng, Motoleng Soh & Motoleng's sister had sitting there already.



Without any delay, we decided to make an order for dinner first. There's so much choices on the menu, I also dunno waht to order, ended up I ordered "Terriyaki chicken Cheese Baked rice" & "Hong Kong Kai Dan Zai dessert". The food there was very nice, Probaly you all may go & try next time when you travel to Penang :)

Mean while, all of our PGHK Listeners also turned up one by one, which is Shua Hu, Ah Tox & Ah Tox Soh, Hainamkepui, Ah Bong & friend, PPP, Wiwiwawa & Tuna. There are total a dozen of us who make up this lovely gathering.

We eat a lots & we also talked a lots... Some of others listeners like Ah Tox, Ah Leng, Motoleng, Hainamkepui & Tuna also take lots of photos with their own cameras. Too bad I didn't have, I might only using my lousy phone camera...




During the middle of our gathering session, I had to go out to start for my mission, which is help to buy cakes for our birthday boys : Dragon, Tuna & Ah Bong. I'm abit lost while I'm out there coz its my first time there & not very sure where is there any cake house in that area. As I decided to turn back to Ice Ice Baby, so lucky I found Swensens located right behind of Ice Ice Baby. There's sure got selling cakes, Ice cream cakes some more... yup yup :P



Beside cakes, Taugeh also brought them some Birthday presents which he's carrying all the way from Klang to Penang. So happy we all can celebrated & have fun together. I believe it will become a sweet memories as well for those who had attend the gathering.

We dismissed around 10pm & we turned back to Dragons house for some rest. We manage to watch a Thai's horror movie called [The Shutter] before going to bed. Its the first time for Taugeh to watch this movie. Although I had already watched it several times, but there's few scence which is still can scared me up... what I can said that this was the best horror movie I had ever watch, not only the effects but the story...

The next day, which is 14 Oct, Its time for me to leave such lovely island Penang. Everthing's resume to normal daily life now. There's a great changed for me after such memoriable Penang Tour, which I started to write my blog by using my broked english to get connected among my dearest Penang Hokkien buddies... Yes!!! no doubt... It's you... who are reading my blog now...hehe :)


Feel glad can get to know all of you from Penang Hokkien. I really look forward also for our upcoming Gathering during CNY 2008 soon. Hopefully may try to spend most of the time with your & my families before I start to continue my studies in Taiwan 2009.

A Tribute to Superstar

Today's weather seem not very good, my mood also... Maybe I had been caught with "Friday blues"? So probaly there's no much to write for today...

I'm try to search some music video clips in youtube to get prepared on which song for me to sing in our monthly Karaoke session @ Kbox on this coming Sunday.

While searching on [Leslie Cheung], and I found the this...





I like his songs very much... It's a must for me to sing his song each time when I visited to Karaoke launge.

I'd been spoken with my collegue during lunch time that most of my favourite idol been passed away... and I had to admit my age is getting older & older liao... sigh!



Anita Mui was also my favourite singer too... She's also gone with Kor Kor the same year 2003. I missed their voice, their song & their concert very much...

I got a friend who really can sing exactly same voice as Anita Mui, Hopefully She'll be joining us this Sunday, so that I can tape down video then post here to share with yours.

It's now started to rain out there... my best wishes to both of them, my beloved Superstar [Leslie & Anita], may them rest in peace at Heaven there :)

Share with yours My favourite song called [Chase]:

Getting Fit.... Start Now

I was so happy when everyone told me that I'd been losing weight recently, not that fat than before liao... hehe! Yup that's true, my weight was start dropping from 78kg to 74kg... Say "Ta Ta" to my 4kg body FATs... :p


3 months ago, I had been went through a regular body checkup at my company appointed clinic. The doctor told me that my BMI result was not very good, It's almost near to overweight's zone... He advice me to lose some weight immediately if not I'll caught by many type of diseases easily infuture...

Well... what to do... I still young... Or you can laugh at me "Kiasi" or "Kiasu"... No choice, I had to follow what the doctor told me. Since there, I stopped taking any supper, especially my beloved MCdonalds burgers... sob... sob... Each time when I go to online at there, I might drooling like hell while watching others people enjoy their burger mouth by mouth... I was very struggle & keep telling myself: Say No To Hamburgers! End up I just can make an order to a regular cup of Hot Steamed buttered sweet corn & a cup of Ice MILO only.... huu...huu...

Foods Battle !!!

Yesterday evening when after work, some of my collegues & I went to Bedok North Market Food Centre for dinner. Lucky we went there early, there's not much people yet, so we can get a table easily. After that some of us take turn to order some food seperately. I walked through nearly all foodstall there, still can't decide what to eat... It's quite a headace for me. Those Spicy Food like Nasi Bryani or Laksa etc, I not dare to eat because I scared I might sweat like just coming out from saunna. While Those Seafood pulak like Ikan Bakar, Pepper Crab or Tiger Prawn... I cannot eat due to I might get allergy... end up just only can choose Chicken & Babi (Pork) nia... very sien...

Suddenly, my eye getting brighter when I found there is a Penang Foods stall infront. YES!!! Thats is what in want, so poor I missed penang food badly... Without any delay, I quickly rush over to take a look on the menu... Of course there's got selling Penang well known [Char Koey Teow] & also some popular [Penang Laksa], [Curry Mee], [Hokkien Mee] & [Wantan Mee]... I am so excited and almost drooling when I look at those... haha :)

So I ordered [Char Koey Teow] & [Wantan Mee] for my dinner... While waiting for my food, I got chance sembang with the Taukeh there. This hawker stall was run by a middle aged couple. The Taukeh Soh was actually Born & staying at Penang for more than 20 years before married to Singapore. Due to a car accident occured few years ago, Her husband (Taukeh) injured seriously, Lucky his condition getting better now, but he had lose his job during the period he staying in Hospital. So they no choise & decided try to run a small bussines as a hawker... I feel so sorry when listen to thier unfortunate incident. Beside that my heart feel so warm & nice, because that Taukeh Soh chat with me by using our most familiar Penang Hokkien dialect, I enjoy very much chatting with them.

Mean while, My foods was ready, I get back to my seat & start enjoy my long waited Penang Delights... hehe :p While we're eating half way, one of my S'prean collegue started asking me a stupid question: "Penang Food & Local (S'pore) Food, which one is nicer?"

Penang Tour - Part III

In my last post I had shared until the dessert house nearby New World Park. So now continue talk about my Penang Trip...


After finished our Dessert, Dragon & I decided to go to 9 Emperior temple nearby for some photo shooting. Surprisingly when I saw lots of vegetarien hawker stall loacted along the street just opposite the temple. Without any delay, I urge Dragon quickly take some photo outside the temple, so that I can continue for my food explorer... I'm curious whether am I a hungry ghost in my past life, who know? because I really can't controlled myself while seeing Foods... haha... Tam Jiak Gui.. :p

I was thingking that Taugeh will be reach PG late of the night, So I decided to buy some supper for him. There's is lots of vegetarien snack which I would like to try, got Pizza, Burger, Rojak & many more... Too bad that my stomach was already full, if not.... hahaha... hope I didn't scared up Dragon... haha :)

Since there is no idea on which place to go later on, so we Patah balik to Dragon's appartment first. Dragon started busy with his work, then I choose to watch my favourite Stephen Chow's old comedy... beside that we also got a chance to watch some fireworks from his balcony because It's Raya eve. After the finished the movie, Dragon's phone rang... Taugeh finally arrive at Butterworth. So we quickly moved towards Butterworth to fetch Taugeh. So poor of him had to traveled so many hours in coach, He's sure very tired then. In earlier, Dragon's even planning to scared Taugeh by ask him to watch a Thai horror movie called "The Shutter", but end up we're all really really tired, end up we go to sleep earlier.


The next day, we're all started to wake up after several alarm buzz from Dragon's mobile phone. Then Dragon fetch us to have some dim sum for our breakfast. There is always crowded with people at the Dim Sum house there. It's hard for us to get a seat. After a while, Taugeh found it then they started to get some order... yum yum... the Dim Sum there was very very nice, I'm also headache while my turn to get order, because there's really so many types to choose... what I like most was "Lor Mai Kai" & typical Hong Kong "Chee Chiong Fun". Beside that I had found that Taugeh also easily get sweat, same as mine, I easily get sweat when I eat food contains chilly & Pepper... so we both individual got some additional funny nickname, Taugeh was [Hot Detector], mean while mine is [ Chilly Detector]... haha :)


After Breakfast, Dragon fetch us to Gurney Plaza for some shopping of course. We had buy some books from Popular bookstore, mean while Taugeh busy with his mobile phone calls... Dragon cannot Tahan & ranked him as our Penang Hokkien certified PRs :)


Our next station will be back to New World Park again, we meet up with Ah Tox for lunch at Old Town kopitiam... I like the environment so much... the place fulled of nostalgic feel. When we reach there, already seen Ah Tox & his wife & also Hainamkepui siting there liao... Before our long chat, We decided to have some foods first since Ah Tox they are not having any breakfast yet.Dragon strongly recommend "See Mut Milk Tea" & "Thick Kaya Toast" to us... the taste is very unique... I like them. Then I order "Chu Qian Yi Ding" noodles sup which served with Egg + Ham. Dragon also like to eat instant noodles too... while Taugeh ordered "Indonesian Damn Hot Curry Rice" haha... I scared myself might sweat & get wet crazily so I didn't dare to try.

During our lunch session, one of the Listener called "Siao Kia" joined us later on. Beside that I'm also found Hainamkepui She's very quiet... very "Soo Boon"... maybe she feel "paiseh" due to we're first meet up in person afterall. Not like our Penang Hokkien "Dai Lou"... Online & Real person almost not much difference, Still very keen in "Kapsiao"... Lucky got him, His joke really bring us lots of Laugh & Fun...hehe :)

Well... Next post, I'll gonna share something regarding our Listener's gathering in Prai.

(Some photos courtesy from Taugeh & Dragon)

Life is wonderful :)

Before continue to my Penang tour's sharing, Juz would like to share something on my passed wonderful weekend.

On Saturday, as usual had to work half day in office. Since there is not much artworks to design, so end up I "eng eng bo tai chee" , get paid to surfing internet, update my blog & watching Stephen Chow's comedy clips in youtube & bla bla bla... haha :)


Afterwork, I need to rushed for my volunteer appointment at Temple nearby my office. I had to follow Venerables & some of my fellow members going to our new Temple located in Punggol (Northen East part of Singapore) for construction site visit. The construction work was very efficien, our new temple was about almost complete liao... Very happy & excited from all of us... finally we got a home... a home for our spiritual...

When we're going up to the top floor of our new temple, which is a columbarium. I like the design & the environment so much, totally no "Geli" at all... Since the "ash" columns were very hot in sales right now & there's is not much left liao... I wish I could get one too, but I just confusse whether Will I be staying in Singapore forever?... Well, no matter how, "May I rest in peace in future" was actually my great wish now... haha :)

At nite around 8pm++, I bring my company laptop to Mcdonald. Since there's got free wifi, so I just ordered a cup of ice MILO, then began to online gmail chat with some of my friends. After when I log in to MSN, Chat with Dragon & Chabour pulak... There's alot to talk, we even chat untill very late... Since I had sit at there for almost more than 3 hrs with just order a cup of drink, I scared I kena complain by Aunty there, so I got to log off & went home ZZZzzzz....

I wake up early Sunday morning, As usual going to Temple nearby for prayer service, at noon time I got to attend Chinese Ochestra instrument class also... Although my whole day's schedule was very rush & tight, but I feel very happy & enjoy to be volunteer, from there I can meet lots of peoples, learn lots of knowledge & got a apportunity to perform too...


Thru the volunteer services, I had found the meaning of life, I'm appreciate so much with every moments & peoples in my life, including my family members, my friends, my buddies and Yes.... It's "you", whoever visited my blog... Thanks to everything which light up my life... life is wonderful :)

Penang Tour - Part II

First of all would like to thanks to my Penang Hokkien Buddies for overwhelming respond on my previous post, so from now on I'll probaly to write my sharing in english, but I'll also may post some my articals subseqencely in mandarin. Hope you'll enjoy reading my blog... hehe :)


Well...Before goes into Penang foods, would like to share more about Dragon's new appartment - Regency Heights. When I first reach to his house, I was attracted by the environment over there, especially the panoramic view from balcony... The air in his house was very cooling, and got a good feng shui too. Just only one word can describe is "Shiok"... hehe :) Too bad I was now short of vitamin S11, if not I'll gonna buy one of the unit there too...

While resting in his "Long Men Ke Zhan", we had watch a series of Gary Chao Ge & Aaron Kwok's concert DVD, besided that we also have a chat with Ah Hoon too. As I was too tired due to can't really sleep well in Coach the nite before, I even fall as sleep while half way watching those concert DVD... Lucky I'm not drooling on his brand new sofa... hehe :)


When the sky turns dark, we decided to have some dinner in town before go to fetch Taugeh in Butterworth Bus Terminal. Thanks to Dragon bring me to vegetarien restaurant located nearby Macalister Road. I like vegetarien food very much... I'm here in Singapore mostly having vegetarien meals everyday. Look at the food pics above, that was what we order for our dinner. The foods there damn nice, price also moderate... next time when visit Penang again can consider to bring my mum to eat at there too.


After Dinner, Dragon called up Taugeh where's his location now? but get to know that Taugeh haven't bypass Ipoh yet... Hmm... Maybe traffic jam at highway there due to Raya Festive. So while waiting, we walked towards New World Park nearby. There was a very nice place, inside got lots of wellknown restaurant located like Old Town coffee house, 600cc & many others. I believe there will be a brand new recreation & makan spots for all penangites.


After a while, Dragon suggest to have some desserts nearby. I'm so excited, I like "Tong Shui" very much too... no wonder I getting fatter & fatter.... hehe :)

Well, since there is so many yummy dessert inside the menu, Its very hard for us to get an order, so we decided to get some recommendation for a staff there, she hardly promote the dessert called "waterchestnut + Egg" to us, then Dragon order Golden Man Tou topped with honey syrup... yum yum... Then my turn to order "Potato Tang Yuan" which inspired by my mum told me before. When all those freshly served on our table, again It's Dragon turn who help me snap some photo before we finished all those... The desserts there was very nice except "waterchestnut + Egg"... that was sucks... not nice at all... so at the end I finished it myself, don't waste food mah...

Wow... Seems that It's already a long post liao.... So I gonna stop here & will share with you all again my next post... stay tune :)

东方花园逍遥游－Penang Tour

当我开始在写这心情笔记时，脑子里都是那几天里的美好回忆，但是相对的心里又会觉得这次写这篇帖子是非常挑战性的，因为我有几位朋友是不谙中文的，所以只得双语并用。友人笑我为何这么辛苦，直接写英语就好了嘛！其实由始至今我这心情部落都一贯保持以中文书写，所以为了迁就大家，就只好豁出去啦！（先声明，我的英语文法是实在有够烂的！如果读了之后感觉怪怪的，敬请见谅）

When i was thinking to write on this post, there were many sweet memories filled up my mind. Due to some of my friend can't read any chinese charactors, I started to feel that this was the most challenged for me to write in both mandarin and english.


由于早前工作繁重的压迫感，当时的心情的确是糟透了，于是决定找一天请假出去走走透透气。因缘就是那么不可思议，正巧得知有一班来自［槟城福建］的听众有举办一个聚会，同时也是好友奕龙的乔迁还有生日之喜，友人双喜临门是的确该前去道贺一番。星期四晚上下了班之后，就赶到车站去乘搭长途巴士直达槟城。

I feel very pressure due to overloaded work load previously, my mood getting bad & bad. So I planning to give myself a break for me to take a breath. As get to know that there was a [Penang Hokkien Podcast] listener's gathering held during Raya season, thus also to celebrate my friend "Dragon" moved in to his new house & advanced birthday. So on thursday nite afterwork, I quickly rush to bus terminal nearby & straight away travelled to Penang.


由于司机漏夜飞车的关系，隔天早上我其实大约早上８点半左右就抵达槟城车站了。由于见距离约定的时间还早，于是就步行到车站附近的九皇爷庙去拜拜并享用素食早餐。当时间差不多9点半之后，想必夜猫友人也应该起身了吧，于是就开始发送手机简讯告知。等了一下子，友人奕龙连早餐也来不及吃，就匆匆赶到车站去了。

I actually arrived in Penang around 8.30am, as It's still early, so I decided walk to the temple nearby to prayer & also having vegetarien breakfast. An hour later, I started to sms my friend "Dragon" to meet up at bus terminal. So sorry when get to know he actually rushed over without having breakfast.


上了车子后我们一起到小贩中心去吃东西，奕龙说这里有个摊位是卖爪哇面的，我的内心一阵欣喜，毕竟我都整１0多年里都没吃过了。眼见桌上那碟热腾腾的爪哇面，还没入口之前，就好像乡巴佬般拿起手机对着美食猛拍一番。饱食一顿后，奕龙就带我到那新开张不久，而且又是北马最大间的Queen'sbay Mall去逛逛。大约中午时分，我们就回到［龙门客栈］－奕龙的新家休息去咯！下会再跟大家分享槟城的美食篇，不要错过哦！

我回来了

很抱歉，好久没有发贴了……沉淀了一些日子之后，思绪也平静了许多，这些日子以来，试着将心打开，让自己有更多的尝试与体验，让自己有更多的生活空间。我的网络世界也突然变得更多姿多彩，除了一贯的收听［槟城福建］播客和阅读部落格之外，也开始迷上了［面书FACEBOOK］还有Youtube里头的［怪谈］等怪异节目片段。

前几天的连续假日，于是抽空到槟城去探访久违了的朋友，这一趟槟城之旅可谓收获满满……由于有太多要分享的，所以决定将这充满回忆的心情笔记分期贴上，请大家多多留意哦！

笑着走进生命的每一天

人活一辈子，忧伤是活，开心也是活，为什么不开开心心地去活呢?

即使爬到了屋顶，才发现爬错了梯子，才发现自己原来是想爬到对面的楼顶，那也没有关系，爬下来继续去寻找那把能够爬向对面楼顶的梯子吧，向那个目标出发吧！

不要在原来的屋顶哀伤叹气，抱怨自己，又埋怨他人，应该及时地调整自己的思绪，作好吃苦的准备。不管向上攀登的路有多难，不管岁月如何变迁，只要目标确定了，就要勇敢向前。在攀登的过程中一样也可有怡然的心情，享受过程中的美丽。

如果想继续留在屋顶安于现状，那就要以最快乐的心态来享受屋顶看到的景致，并融入其中，一生开心地活！就让对面们的高楼，成为自己青春的回忆。如果有重新选择的机会，再去构思过程的美丽吧。

曾经有一只小蚂蚁，在地面上苦苦寻觅，想要找一棵大树去安家。因为厌倦了地底洞穴的生活，以及洪水侵袭的恐惧，想到空中去感受星月的照耀，想要和它们近一点，再近一点，能够倾听天地的声音，倾听耳畔的轻风中传来的祝福的钟声，体会大树上空中楼阁里幸福的心情，为了这样一个梦想，小蚂蚁不断地奋斗，不断地打拼。朝阳朝起，染红了天边的一晨朝霞；夕阳西落，带走了白与昼的交替……

终于有一天，小蚂蚁来到一片丛林，每一棵树都高耸入云。究竟该选哪一棵呢？小蚂蚁在树下不断地徘徊，一天、两天……小蚂蚁想，与其这样徘徊，不如尽快选择一棵自己认为最高的那棵树爬上去！于是从树根到树干再到树枝，小蚂蚁几乎穷尽了一生的精力。

可是树很大，遥看着满树的枝繁叶茂，树影婆娑间小蚂蚁流泪了，自己再没有力气去重新选择再来一次创造梦想的渴望。在树叶间躲过风雨如盘，看过鸟儿飞过，听过歌声传来，心境突然开朗起来。小蚂蚁释然了，既然选择了并为之奋斗了，这就足够。因为过程是最美的。低首攀登时不是也有幸福滑过吗？这是小蚂蚁的一生，有遗憾但依然，依然有幸福和充实，因为它曾开开心心地活过。

拥有一份好心情，拥有一颗感恩的心，就像蝴蝶在心中轻轻地飞，最美也最甜蜜！看蓝蓝的天，看白白的云，青青的山，绿绿的水，多姿的世界，善良而可爱的人；看生命中不能承受之轻，以及顽强中彰显的勃勃生机，又是多么释然的幸福啊!

拥有一份好心情，哪怕皓首也有童颜，也依然会美丽动人，年轻而健康！就那样微笑着走进生命的每一天……
