"Tom Clancy: Rainbow Six - Mumbai"

About less than 3 YEARS ago...

About less than 3 DAYS ago...

I never know what is the name of this 5 stars hotel until recently... I couldn't believe it was under attack by the terrorists, more than 100 innocent people killed in several locations in Mumbai. This is not "Die Hard 5", and this is not the Tom Clancy's game. It is real...

This is my weapon of choice when it comes to dealing with the gunmen inside such a hotel setup. The Heckler & Koch MP5 with silencer (as shown above)with 5 cartridge clips, one Colt handgun with one extra clip, 3 grenades, 3 flashbangs ,and of course, a Kevlar bullet proof vest! Hey, it is normal to request for a Kevlar vest, most people are "kiasi"(afraid of dying) okay?

Bosch Windshield Wiper

I hope it will rain today, and it did...
Reason that I hope for rain?
After spending half and hour figure out how to replace my old silicone wipers with the new Bosch Windshield Wipers, I hope it will rain so I can test how's the performance of the wipers during the rain.

The china made Bosch wipers are not cheap, I spent close to RM40 for a pair. The cheaper one that was made in Taiwan will only cost Rm18.99 for a pair. Changing wipers are suppose to be a simple task which you can finish it in few minutes, but the problem is, you don't change your wipers like you change diapers. So you might forgot how you did it last time.

It takes me half an hour to change the wipers because I receive three different spare parts that comes with the wipers, I have to think of how can I make use of all the parts available. I was hungry and I started to loose my patience after twenty minutes. Until I reach a point and slow down, and try to look at the pictures slowly, then finally I figure out I only need one out of the three parts that were provided to me.... damn.. so confusing and misleading, no wonder I can't study Mechanical Engineering, it is not my kind of field.

Product Review:
Item: Bosch Windshield Wiper (with rubber for tropical country)
Smoothness: **** (Okay but not perfectly smooth)
Value: *** (Pricey compare to other brand)
Durability: Unknown

Is Year End...

Is year end, the "National Fatwa Council" need to deliver some fart to meet his year end KPI (Key Performance Index). At least, you are aware of their existence and they can be continuously funded by someone.


First, the "Fart-wa" want to ban Tomboyism among Muslim girls, if Winona Ryder is a Malaysian Muslim and she wanted to visit Malaysia in 2008, she better do it on mid 2009, wait till her hair length grow until her shoulder; Let say if you don't cut your hair and it becomes as lengthy as "Rapunzel", I can't guarantee to you if is okay or not, cuz anything can happen in this "Truly Asia" country.

Ladies better check with the "Fart-wa" council, I hope they have a website that you can browse, or check with the cone head minister, Shit Hamid, make sure your Rapunzel-styled hair is not a threat to National Security, I am not sure if you need any permit for that, you better ASK. You see, it makes some ppl feel uneasy if you got hair and I don't.

For your further information, luckily there is no complain or any sort of ban on "longkang" exposure or butt crack exposure. Or else Levi's jeans will have to ship their low cut jeans out of Malaysia.



Today, I read the news (http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/11/24/nation/2628119&sec=nation), that the "Fart-wa" wanted to ban Yoga... Please take a look at the above picture, doesn't it look scary? The name of this fella is "Dhalsim", you can find him in Street Fighters arcade game. During my highschool day, I have seen this Dhalsim guy stretching his arms and legs before like the fella in Fantastic 4, besides that, he can spit fire too, what a threat to the society! No wonder Yoga is banned...Hmmm... is Qi Gong going to be the next?

The Black Screen: No Escape

As a movie lover, I find this ad from Microsoft quite creative, it looks like a horror movie poster... like "The Ring". The message they try to deliver to you is, "Please use genuine Windows program". Sorry I know I am a bit long winded, I just want to make sure you know, or else the money throw onto advertising will be totally wasted.

Microsoft: "They said they can escape, but they lied".

But I said, "No, 'they' didn't lie, they did escape."

If you ask a rich friend how he or she escape? They will tell you to spend a few hundred to get the genuine Windows, Microsoft is giving discount too, So I would like to urge you to buy the genuine product and respect Intellectual Property if you can afford.

Let say if you throw the same question at those smart friends around you how they manage to escape? They will be able to tell you the simplest method. Well, the trick is- Don't bother for "Automatic Update", disable this feature and you will be able to escape. We are always obsessed with latest product, latest version, latest design, latest technology, etc... if only you can ignore that, the Black Screen will never come because the copy you purchased at Low Yat still delivers... so, please have a seat with your pop corn ready and wait for the black screen comes, don't let the virtual ghost scare you. :)

My windows is cool, no black screen...

Long and Cold Winter Ahead

I chat with my friend in US recently, he was telling me that this coming Thanksgiving Holiday spending is like an indicator of American consumers confidence. If the sales is far less than everybody expected, it is going to be a hard hit for the retailers, not only that, it means people are very reluctant to spend and the economy is in really really bad shape.

Another friend was telling me that he heard some rumors that my company is going to cut down 1000 head counts in Singapore. I guess 1000 headcounts for Singapore will be too much, because I don't think there are 1000 people there. However, if 1000 headcounts spread through the entire Southeast Asia region, I think that will be possible. My boss went to Singapore yesterday, I guess he went to some management meeting. Singapore is the regional office, who knows what will happen?

Let say if the rumor is true, out of 1000 headcounts, I think Malaysia will be the one that hit most. I notice there are a lot cars in the office for the past two weeks, things has been slow. My colleague was joking that it is because all the projects had finished and people start coming back to the office.

It reminds me of what happened in US 7-8 years ago. At that time, I was working in the factory, every week, I saw the blue collars packing their stuff and leave the factory batch by batch. The manufacturing cost in US has no way to match China's cost, we cut down from 3 factories to 1. The shipping department cut down half of their work force and I see people even cry when they walk out of the office. The morale was low, very low. Everyone was like waiting for their turn to pack-and-leave. I joke with my ex ex ex .. colleague, Joi, that this winter is going to be very cold... I still remember how she chuckles after hearing what I have said.

During that period, it starts with blue collar, then the white ones. I witnessed one of the founders got laidoff, I wondered if he had fully paid off his new BMW X5, even the HR manager got herself lay off by the company, then the CEO, the stock room manager, etc. It was a stressful experience I would say.

I didn't survive after "n" rounds of layoffs. There were 4 people in my team, 1 citizen, 1 green card holder and 2 visa holders. Being a visa holder and the one who draw highest salary, there is no way you can avoid being chopped. I know my salary is 50% higher than the lowest one in the group. Anyway, after quite some time, the cycle has come back again, winds of layoff started to blow.

Well, when the moment comes, I think I will be enjoying my long vacation then, if I sell my Public Bank share may be can last me for extra half a year if I have to. :(

I forsee long and cold winter ahead... during the cold winter... I can only hope that there is still turkey out there for me to hunt.

The Winner Takes It All

Finished listening to the entire CD, personally I think the previous Mama Mia Musical CD which I have is better, may be that is the first version that I listen to. So my advice is, if you want to get your one and only Mama Mia CD, go for the musical version which the above lady on the CD cover.

One of my favourite is the "poker game song" - The Winner Takes It All:

ABBA - The Winner Takes It All lyrics

I dont wanna talk

About the things we've gone through

Though its hurting me

Now its history.

I've played all my cards

And thats what you've done too

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play.

The winner takes it all

The loser standing small

Beside the victory

Thats her destiny.

I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense

Building me a fence

Building me a home

Thinking I'd be strong there

But I was a fool

Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all

The loser has to fall

Its simple and its plain

Why should I complain.

But tell me does she kiss

Like I used to kiss you?

Does it feel the same

When she calls your name?

Somewhere deep inside

You must know I miss you

But what can I say

Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide

The likes of me abide

Spectators of the show

Always staying low

The game is on again

A lover or a friend

A big thing or a small

The winner takes it all

I dont wanna talk

If it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand

I apologize

If it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense

No self-confidence

(But you see)

The winner takes it all~

The winner takes it all~......

MAMA MIA!

Last time I won't able to secure cheaper tickets for the Mama Mia show during end of this year, so I told myself I will buy a ABBA original CD to appease my "lost" even though I already have a puh..pie...uh hmmmm (cough, cough)... CD copy from my ex ex ex ex Taiwanese colleague, Joi. Argh... I still remember her, she always said she want to slim her waist which in fact, it is already perfect.

I really want to watch the Mama MIA show live, but the only seats left are for those VIP, which obviously, I am NOT. The ticket cost more than RM300 after early bird discount, so I figure out might as well I spend Rm50 on one original CD, why pay RM300+ for a non-Las Vegas performance? :)

On my way to the barber shop just now, I walk by the CD store playing the Mama MIA soundtrack, so after my haircut, I went into the store and check out the Mama MIA album.. I think I better refer it to "Mama Mia" from now on, cuz "Mama MIA" sounds like "Mama Missing In Action". You don't want that happen!

To my surprise... yes, I was really surprise, perhaps is because I haven't buy an original CD for quite some time... Shhh....I want to buy, I know writing a song is hard and singing it is not that hard, but.... the price is too steep for a poor and humble citizen like me mah, not worth it you see... Guess how much they are selling? The CD is selling at the price of RM29.90! Wow, "Special Malaysia Edition" some more! Well, I guess may be is a polite way to say something like "Special Malaysia Edition" instead of "Hey, I know you Malaysians are cheap skate, love to share stuff, cuz sharing is caring, not willing to pay for Intellectual Property Rights; and we know most of you ain't going to pay RM50 for the CD because you aren't making as much as your neighbor down south, so now I am selling you cheap! So please buy originals okay? This edition is for Malaysia market only, Got it?"

In additional to that, there is a Malaysia flag logo on the CD cover too, buying the CD makes me feel so patriotic for a second. I feel like buying a "Buatan Malaysia" (Malaysia Made Product), even though ABBA is from Sweden.

While typing this article, I tested the CD with my ASUS blueray DVD-ROM, my RM200+ Creative Audigy sound card processed the sound out from the CD, and deliver the results to my RM400 Altec Lansing speakers.... Well, to be honest, there is no difference between my puh....pie...rrr.. (uh hummmm) CD copy... damn... why I cough whenever I mention the "P" word... you want a hint what is the "P" word? Okay... the hint is "Somali".

Nevermind, I will test it downstairs next time with better equipment.

Fishbones

One day, The Son and the Father are having dinner together. There are veges, fish, tofu, etc. on the table. After the meal, the Son do the dishes and clean the table. His dad is still working on the fish, trying to clear whatever is left on the fish by spitting out all the bones on the table.

The Son got mad, due to the table is terribly messy, and now he had to clean up the mess, he complained to his dad for being so untidy because there were fish bones all over the table.

The Father said, "Son, I let you had all the meat on the fishes, I am just trying to clear what is left on the fish."

After hearing what the Father said, the Son feel bad about himself, he did not say anything, but clean out all the mess quietly, do all the dishes and wipe the table clean without any complains...

"The Father" is my dad and "the Son" is ME...

Greeting Cards

After I finished my dinner, I took out the trash. I also check the mailbox and see if there is any mail. I hope I can get a dividend check on such a hard time when all the stocks are 40% cheaper than few months ago.

I saw a letter for my dad; the sender is from Mouth & Foot Painting Artists Sdn. Bhd. I opened up the letter and found there were eight greeting cards inside attached with a cover letter and an order form. I guess my dad must have made some donation in the past and that is why we are getting such letter almost every year (maybe).

Frankly speaking, I hate this kind of “push sales” tactic; I have dealt with something similar in the past while in US– The Columbia House CD. They tend to mail you some CDs, like once in a while, hoping you might thought it is something which you have ordered. Once you opened it, you realize it is something you didn’t order. So you either keep the CD (which is very likely it is not something you like), accept the invoice, or you throw it back at the mail box with the box unopened, labeled it “return to the mailer”, and hopefully they can be returned to Columbia House.

So this Mouth & Foot Painting did the same thing, the only diff is they are for supporting the unfortunate people more than pure profit taking. I have to admit that the painting looks fine; however, I don’t have any use on the greeting cards. I am a mild environmentalist that encourages print less, save papers. Anyway, to prevent them on making any loss, I think I will purchase something which is not needed in the name of my father.

I decided to enclose a check of RM33.00 for the organization, which is not a lot of money, to buy off the cards which I received, I am attaching a note inside the envelope as well, telling them my father has passed away for a few years time and I hope they can remove my father’s name away from the mailing list because the person doesn’t exist anymore. I don’t want they waste their postage in the future if I am not buying it.

However, if you wish to support them, let say you are mailing cards to your clients, customers, friends and family, you can always support them from the below address:

Mouth & Foot Painting Artist Sdn. Bhd.
Lot 327, 2nd Floor, Ampang Park Shopping Centre,
Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur.
Or
P.O. Box 12431, 50778 Kuala Lumpur.
03-21618860, 03-21618502

p/s: A friend want me to sell all those cards to him so he can send it to his customers. All cards sold!

The #1 Bond Girl

The French actress, Eva Green, was voted as the "Best Bond Girl" after beating Halle Barry and Michelle Yeoh. If you ask me to cast my vote, my vote will still goes to Eva Green, she is quite stunning from head to toes. Of course, the killer will be her pair of green eyes other than her figure.
This photo can put her into "Medusa" role, her hair looks like serpents and any guys who look into her eyes will be "petrified"....

In case you don't know, The worst Bond Girl award went to the little "wild thing", Denise Richards.. :)

意大利面

有一次我妈煮了一锅意大利面。 我终于忍不住，自信地告诉她，说我煮的意大利面比她做的好吃，她说又不见我煮给她吃，我说因为家里材料不齐全，所以我也没兴趣下厨。我说如果意大利面选用牛肉会更好吃，如果她一定要用猪肉的话，那么至少猪肉应该和其他葱蒜一齐爆香以后，炒干一点
，那么会比较好吃。 我知道她比较少去意大利餐厅吃西餐，所以可能不知道好吃的意大利面是怎么做的，味道应该是怎样的，所以我说有机会一定要带她去吃。

星期四那天，我妈又煮了意大利面。她叫我试一试意大利面的浆料味道如何，顺便到超市买一包面条。她说她按造我的方式，把猪肉炒干一点才放其他材料。我用一小汤匙，尝了一尝味道，觉得番茄味道又点稀，直接说味道不行。我想一定是她把剩余的Sauce 倒了进去，由于浆料没有剩很多，所以味道不是那么理想。我建议她倒一罐Tomato Paste进去,因为番茄味很淡，即使添加一点番茄酱也无补于事，所以我出去帮她买面条时，也顺便买了Tomato Paste。
放了Tomato Paste 以后，意大利面的浆料顿时好吃很多。 当晚意大利面的销量特别好，我妹也说跟平时的意大利面很不一样，好吃很多。我想，经过这个晚上，我妈在煮意大利面的技术已经升级了！下一次我会传授她如何升级意大利面的烹调方式。

*本人不敢说我的意大利面煮得有多好吃，但是偶尔我也觉得我煮得比一些餐厅好。可能是他们煮得不好，不是因为我煮得好吃。我的基本技术是从我的一位朋友和我姑姑那里学来的。当然也少不了自己做实验和探讨来提升技术。 :p

Peaceful Candle Vigil turns bloody

Last night, around 8:30pm, I almost went for the candle vigil at Amcorp Mall, but when I was about to enter my car, I found out that I don't have my camera with me and I can't find where as my "I-AM-WITH-RPK" T-shirt, so I decided to skip it and go for some groceries at Giant.

And here is what happen that night: http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/11/10/nation/20081110214139&sec=nation. Police has detained 24 people out of the 200+ crowd. Gee, I wonder if I am wearing the I-AM-WITH-RPK shirt, will I be the walking target to them? May be I will end up spending a night at jail lodging report. If I am not so lucky, I will have my RM20 RPK shirt tore into pieces by the policemen, and take a few punches on my abs, don't worry, I will yell out, "please don't hit on my face!". The most terrible thing is, like a Reality TV, after beaten and released around 7:30am, I still have to go home, take a shower, and then head to work, just like Tony Pua who got beaten but still show up in Parlimen early today.

Well, it is a peaceful candle vigil gathering and the police sent out a bunch of FRU units (Federal Reserve Unit) with shield and baton, thinking that the gatherers are going to burn down the building with candles or what? This is what we called "Democracy" in Malaysia... WTF? I don't see anyone is carrying a Molotov cocktail there?

The police in Malaysia, most of the time, set their priority WRONG! They should have spend more time on fighting crimes, patrolling the street instead of putting extra speed traps, harassing civilians in candle vigil like this, or send a platoon of policemen to set up unnecessary road blocks or escort 'opposition politician' to police station. Well, their excuse of detaining the vigil attendees are nonsense, threat to the public la, no permit la, all bullshit!

牛津英汉词典

今天打完球以后去了一趟Kinokuniya买了一本词典，主要原因是近来发觉我那本用了二十年的牛津英汉词典已经过时了，那是很久以前我老爸买的。所以当我回到家时，我妹问我为什么买词典，家里不是有一本吗？她这就错了，打个比喻，可以试下用旧的词典找"Cyber"这种字，我可以保证查无此字。现在我这第六版的词典才有这种更新。明天我打算带我的新词典去公司，把我的旧词典换回来。

新词典售价为马币64。90， 还算可以啦，又可以扣税。如果您家里的词典很旧了，也是时候买新的了。 我个人还是习惯用牛津词典。（在此顺便给它做

New local Yahoo interface

I am quite annoyed by this local/Malaysia Yahoo interface (as shown above). My default home page is always Yahoo website (www.yahoo.com), but now they are trying to be a smart ass by changing my default to (http://m.www.yahoo.com/) automatically and I don't like it!! Even though I try to force it to www.yahoo.com, but it still link me back to this new interface. Is just like facebook trying to make a changes on their old interface (picture below), someone even started a network which you can join if you hate the new interface.
Now I try to re-examine the pictures, the layout looks a bit like the old and new facebook, you can see how they put the key application for the old Yahoo interface, all key applications are placed on the left hand side like the old facebook where as the new Yahoo interface (picture above) move the key applications like mail, finance and stuff to the right hand side which is similar to the new facebook.

I have been very faithful to Yahoo and I have been setting their website as my default PC homepage for the past ten years. Even though people say how good is Google search engine and how good is msn homepage customization, but I don't really care, I just prefer Yahoo homepage because I can easily click "Mail" to access my email everyday. Now they are linking me to this Malaysia yahoo! Sheeeze!

The above is the original Yahoo homepage which my Firefox browser is still keeping it. I wonder why only Internet Explorer will lead me to the new interface which Firefox doesn't try to be smart ass on bringing me to local Yahoo server. I prefer the old one because I can have a quick look on how NYSE and NASDAQ doing in one glimpse!

Herbal treatment for High Blood Cholestrol

I am not sure if this is going to work, got this forward email from a friend:

The beauty of herbal treatment for High Blood cholesterol

I want to share a secret for treating high cholesterol. Three weeks ago l
went for a cholesterol check. To my surprise, it was above the normal
range which should be less than 5.2 mmol/L. My reading obtained was 6.6.
I had been consuming alot of red meat and lamb recently.
After consuming Mok Yee (木耳, "wood ear" in Chinese)for two weeks, l had my cholesterol checked
again and found that my cholesterol level fell to 4.70 mmol/L

My pharmacist said that even cholesterol medication will need 1- 3 months to take effect. She was very surprised and said it is a miracle.

Review:

I immediately followed an advice of a friend who told me about Black fungus
(Mok Yee). He had four block heart arteries, over 90 percent blocked.
His cardiologist advised him to go for bypass surgery, failing which he would
suffer an imminent heart attack. His sinseh ( chinese physician) friend advised
him against surgery as the procedure would be messy, painful and expensive.

He followed the advise of his sinseh friend by consuming Mok Yee daily.
After consuming boiled Mok Yee juice for 40 days, he went for an angiogram. His heart specialist was surprised and shocked that his arteries were all cleared of any blockage and it would not be necessary to see him for another 10 years!

My observation is that Mok Yee juice is not only effective in treating high blood cholestrol but also helps to bring relief to joint paints, arthritis and poor blood
circulation.

The internet info. claims : that Mok yee reduces blood clot, preventing thrombosis, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease,and cancer.Black Fungus contains
abundant protein, ferric, calcium, vitamin, rough fibre, the content of protein is equal to meat.

Preparation :

1) Pick a hand full of Mok Yee and soak in water for 1-2 hours
2) Wash Mok Yee and cut to pieces with scissors.
3) Pour five bowls of plain water into slow cooker (crock pot)
4) Put 2-3 slices of ginger, 8-10 red dates, 20 kay chee(wolf berry)
into crock pot.
5) Bring to boil for 8 hours. One and a half bowls of Mok Yee juice will remain
after boiling overnight.

Consumption : You may consume for 10 to 14 days according to the severity
of the problem. For those with low blood pressure consume less or only
for alternate days.

Drink Mok Yee first thing in the morning with an 'empty stomach'. Consume
at least one large bowl. Take breakfast 2 hours later.

Side effects - you may feel a little tired after 3- 4 days. Consume
multivitamins and fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Do not eat oily or fried foods
during this period.

Observation : Dark and oily stool during the first two days.

Remarks : Cholesterol medication is chemical in nature and may harm the
liver. Mok Yee is a plant and does not contain chemicals.

Take blood test for blood cholesterol before and after treatment e.g. at
Caring Pharmacy.
Only Rm 10.00 . Please report results to enable me to enhance update,
research and review.

Thank you and may God bless you with vibrant health.

Sick ... again

Alas.... my flu still have not fully recover since last Thursday night, went to see doctor and she gave me some medicine, it still doesn't heal because it doesn't comes with antibiotic, so I went to see doctor again on Monday, together with my mom this time, because she had fever too. I guess a lot of people get sick recently, hmmm.. I look at my record, it seems that I have visited the doctor 3 times in 2 months, that is not good!

Till today, the recovery is slow, I was hoping that the doctor will give me a MC slip so I can call in sick and take some rest. Unfortunately, she didn't give me any cert, probably is because I didn't open my mouth and ask for it. When I open my mouth, I complain to the doctor that the cough syrup is too sweet, she just gave me a smile.

Nescafe BlackGold Coffee

I have been testing the freeze dried coffee in the market recently, found this "Nescafe Black Gold Coffee" in Tesco Puchong. All the while I thought Nescafe ends on Gold Blend, but then there is this "Black Gold" thingy. Out of curiosity of course I bought one so I can try it out in office.

Recently I have been testing the UCC 114, 117 from Japan, Davidoff Coffee (don't ask me how come they start selling coffee), Nescafe Gold Blend, Classic, and now I think my favourite lies on this Nescafe Black Gold, it really smells good. Sometimes I just open the container and inhale deeply on the aroma coming out from the freeze dried coffee. You guys should try it out! The price for this Black Gold coffee is higher than the regular Gold Blend.

Researchers found that coffee product is rich in antioxidants, I think that is the good excuse for people to have one cup of coffee per day. Too many cups of coffee may bring harm to you though.

If you want to ask me why don't I go and try out Starbucks coffee? Frankly speaking, I think Coffee Bean tastes better if you want me to compare, probably Coffee Bean suits my liking. Anyway, it is all about marketing, consumers are blindy tricked to a "artificial-coffee-drinking-lifestyle", coffee cost is RM0.50-1.50, but marketing, branding, operation cost, cost Rm5-6, the rest is all net profit if you ask me. Reminds me of how smart that the businessman that generated the marketing tagline "Diamonds are forever", who actually needs a diamond ring to get marry? Most people did, because they fall into the "marketing trap". Okay, I think I better stop here, started to get out of topic.

Someone wish me Selamat Hari Raya!

I find it quite interesting that our British partners at work actually send me a Selamat Hari Raya card without spending 3 minutes to do some homework, they just simply bomb everyone with free greeting cards. May be he thought that all Malaysian celebrate Hari Raya, Deepavali and Chinese New Year (oh.. this is obviously for Chinese only).

My first Burberry Product

Burberry 'Brit' for Men: RM170 (airport price) for 30 ml

I never bought any Burberry product before, last time I want to buy a Burberry shirt in San Francisco, but after looking at the price, 70+ USD after discount for a shirt?! I decided not to get it, it is too much for a shirt. I am interested on Burberry product because I think the Burberry design is very cool, imagine, just one kind of simple design and it lasted for such a long time without feeling outdated, that really prove the success of the design, like a Rolex watch, which some people might think it looks "Ah Pek" or "Uncle", but it really lasted for a long long time.
There is one time I went to check out Burberry fragrance, well, I kinda like the Burberry Brit's smell after comparing with Hugo Boss Pure (I bought their deodorant instead), so I ask my friend to grab one for me when he is travelling back from KK last weekend. KK airport is the only airport that sells Burberry Brit in 30ml. I try to settle with the smallest bottle if I could, because it takes me quite some time to finish the whole bottle and I still have like 30ml left for my "Starwalker".
I don't know about other guys, I don't have any loyalty when it comes to fragrance, I never repeat the same fragrance in my life, I am just out there to explore different smells and flavors.

Some tips I read from newspaper when come to fragrance selection, don't judge the smell from the paper tester. Spray it to your arm where you can actually smell the product. You see, when the smell mix with our sweat and skin, it might comes out with different smell, so it is best you try it on your skin instead of the paper, because you want to know the final result.

Jay Chou -说好的幸福呢?

我想我还可以唱得到这首歌...

说好的幸福呢 周杰伦

你的绘画凌乱着,
在这个时刻,
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽,
甜蜜散乱了.

情绪莫名的拉扯,
我还爱你呐,
伴你断断续续唱着歌,
假装没事了

时间过了走了,爱情面临选择
你冷了,倦了,我哭了

一开始的不快乐
你用卡片试写着
有些爱只给到我真的懂了.

怎么了,你累了,说好的,幸福呢
我懂了.不说了.爱淡了.梦远了
开心与不开心一一叙说着. 你在不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻. 我都还记得

你不等了,说好的幸福呐
我错了,泪干了,放手了,后悔了

这是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着,要怎么停呐?

~~~
