Veli Funni...

Three men: a philosopher, a mathematician and an idiot, were out riding in the car when it crashed into a tree.

Before anyone knows it, the three men found themselves standing before the Pearly Gates of Heaven, where St. Peter and the Devil were standing nearby.

"Gentlemen," the Devil started, "Due to the fact that Heaven is now overcrowded, therefore St Peter has agreed to limit the number of people entering Heaven.

If anyone of you can ask me a question which I don't know or cannot answer, then you're worthy enough to go to Heaven; if not, then you'll come with me to Hell.

"The philosopher then stepped up, "OK, give me the most comprehensive report on Socrates' teachings," With a snap of his finger, a stack of paper appeared next to the Devil. The philosopher read it and concluded it was correct. "Then, go to Hell!" With anothersnap of his finger, the philosopher disappeared.

The mathematician then asked, "Give me the most complicated formula you can ever think of!" With a snap of his finger, another stack of paper appeared. The mathematician read it and reluctantly agreed it was correct. "Then, go to Hell!" With another snap of his finger, the mathematician disappeared too.

The idiot then stepped forward and said, "Bring me a chair!" The Devil brought forward a chair. "Drill 7 holes on the seat." TheDevil did just that. The idiot then sat on the chair and let out a very loud fart.

Standing up, he asked, "Which hole did my fart come out from?"
The Devil inspected the seat and said, "The third hole from the right.”


"Wrong!!!" said the idiot, "it's from my asshole..."

The idiot then went to Heaven.

Aiyohh... the fart is from my asshole laaa~~~~

DinoLand Austin...

There is an opportunity to visit DinoLand in Austin Botanical Garden, hidden in the woods.....

This is a whole new experience, like back to Jurassic Park!
One of the best outdoor adventures =)




Dinosaur!!! Woww.. looks so real...and so gigantic...!!~




This is the authentic Limestone Fossil... And I touched it.....


Can you see the Dino-bird creature flew through?

Woww.. they are so real...



See the little ancient creatures resting on the tree..

The woods is like going into a different time zone, into the mysterious zone of Jurassic...


Ooohhh....there!!! That's a huge one... can you see?!



Are you able to see the ancient big bird? See carefully...~~

This is a perfect natural camouflage in the woods!!



The dinosaur mum taking care of her babies.... so sweet~~~



Oh-huh.... this is Dinasour from Jurassic Park!!!!! Massively Enormous!! And REAL...



The creatures just blended nicely in the woods... they look like just belong there naturally... they look so harmless..


Wahhh.... she is damn huge...her tail is way too long I can't even captured in the picture...
She is defending her eggs...


This is some very weird creature trying to attack people nearby...


2 different types of dinosaurs fighting for food..


Cute little creatures here =)
Too bad they are already extincted many centuries ago......

It actually triggers me to take good care of our natural environment so that we can stop animals extinction, we can live harmony together and our next generation can also enjoy what we have today......



A better tomorrow, isn't that what we always wanted for our next generation?

When 'Alvin' is just so common..

This is Austin, where I stayed 8 months long at the nearby apartment.

I took this photo during sunset on the road, surprisingly mesmerizing & memorable... @.@


Austin is a place full of squirrels!! No jokes okie, really the heaven for squirrels and chipmunks like 'Alvin' :)

When I first came, I din't know about this. And everytime I see a squirrel or chipmunk, I would shout "Alvin! Alvin!!", so very excited and happy; for as squirrels are not common back home, where you can only see them in zoo...

Squirrels are too common in Austin, they are everywhere: running around in the park; beside the roads; climbing the trees; resting somewhere; eating the nuts on the bars etc.

And I tell you, they are really cute...




Hi Alvin!!!! hey!!!! come here!!..



Alvin trying to search for food, and running around the park...


Can you spot Alvin on the tree? hehe..


Hmmm... What kinda position is that?!



Run Alvin!!! Runn.... They are just everywhere...!!


Come down Alvin!!! hello helloooo~~~


Alvin still hiding up on the tree....
*Sniff* *Sniff* got nuts somewhere??!



Let me find find.....I can smell it~~~~



Heh.... why are you looking at me?!!
What do you want from me??


They are just so so adorable!!!! Cute little creautres!!!
They play by themselves; running around, jumping up and down, finding their own food, enjoying their own life...in their own world....



Mphh... anything to eat here...? hungry...



Hah, Alvin dangling on the branch outside the apartment's balcony, enjoying the summer evening warm sun, doing his own spa.. he looks so relaxing..

Squirrels and chipmunks, they are so appealing, very sweet and with really cool characters, that make me adores them alot :)

They too, help me reflects back on my own life now and then, and to always remind me, to work hard for my survival, at the same time, enjoy life as it is the coolest thing on earth!

我的外婆

这天,外婆真的走了。

妈说:红白事不要在一起,不用回去; 有心就可以,外婆会知道的。那天外婆出殡,我对天拜拜,对外婆说,‘外婆,你要一路好走,我会想念你的。。’

外婆这个名称,儿时就很熟悉,在我成长的回忆里的主角之一。
我对外婆可以说又是敬畏又是疼爱。以前,每每回伦乐,脚一踏进店里,就会大大声喊‘外婆!外。。。婆。。。我来了!!’ 外婆就会回应‘喔。。。。。到啦!!!’

很喜欢聚在外婆的房间,门关起来,然后听外婆讲故事,听三姑六婆八卦,讲迷信是非, 东家长的西家短; 呵呵呵。。真有趣。。


还很小时,外婆就给我看了她要给我的金饰嫁妆。。外婆说,早一点给也一样,怕她等不到,看不到我结婚。那时,天真的我还对外婆说,不会啦。。。外婆一定可以看得到。。外婆说,不要紧,可能以后老人痴呆叻。。先给比较好。。
想起来,很感慨叻,无奈了又能怎样?

就如外婆预言,外婆没等到,没看到。。



每次外婆出来古晋,我们都会一起去吃早餐。外婆很喜欢吃‘lek dao suan’和‘oo bi moi’,还有很多糕饼. 很怀念,也不会再有这种机会了。。



外婆教我很多纯正的潮州话。。外婆小时从潮州来这里,说着一口流利的潮州话,每次听不懂,外婆都会翻译成华语讲给我听。。



还有很多很多回忆闪过。。。数不清了。。。

今天发现,原来什么是‘幸福’。。
原来,幸福就是可以做自己喜欢做的事,和自己喜欢的人在一起。。。

往往在寻找梦想的旅途,我们变得矛盾,我们都把它给忘了。。



原来,我真正在寻找的,就是‘幸福’。



外婆,您在天国,过的好吗?


Asian food in US...

Frequently, we were frustrated thinking of where to go for dinner... what to eat...and got headache; end up simply eat something and that's it!

Pity... we don't have much good food around here...the food here is small in portion yet somewhat expensive, and taste so-so.. just to stop the hunger and done with a meal...

This makes me really missed those Asian food in Austin.. We have better Asian food in Austin than here... can you believe it?


The Chinese Mixed Vege plate we had in a Hong Kie restaurant, thumbs up!



Oh damn I miss you........... Hong Kong style bbq roasted chicken..... one of the best-est !!!


See the huge piece of 'Cha Siew' roasted pork!?? This is something we can never find here in Malaysia... sad to say....

Oh boy I love it... the pork is tender, very juicy yet not oily at all, I can have 3 bowls of rice with this plate......genuine Hong Kong style best-est roasted pork!

How I missed the Chinese food there.....Every evening, you can see a long queue of starving people waiting outside the restaurant, just for this... including me...


This is the 'Shrimp TomYam Soup' from a Thai restaurant.... true spicy and sour, authentic Thai style... very yummy, just nice complimented with the Siam rice...



The Thai style fried pineapple rice, delicious! Huge plate that can fulfill 2 person's portion, definitely worth the money!!


This is the typical Chinese meal, really mouth-watering tasty; a 2 person meal that can really makes you full.



Ohh... talking about the US Asian 'DimSum'.... one of the best ever.... I kept eating until I forgot to take more photos....
-____-

The 'Har Kao' (shrimp) is very fresh and big in size, finger licking good!


This is the ever-popular Cantonese ‘皮蛋’porridge...
Oooh.. that was simply yummy..!!!



The 'pau' overflowing with juicy roasted pork meat inside....trust me, 3 of them is just not enough!!



Can you imagine we finished all of them!?
The food is simply awesome!!! I love it!

Technical vs Management

Working in a giant worldwide chip company, we always have 2 groups of people aka 'management' and 'technical'.

As always, you know how free management is and also likes to push technical people to come out with documentations, presentations, long long sophisticated monthly or weekly reports, some Hollywood (or Bollywood) shows etc for them to 'copy and paste' then impress their higher level management staff.....


Sometimes when you look at those stupid management personnel... you just feel like slapping them hard!


Recently there is this management person kept pushing the senior technical person to do another documentation to present on the product development in the midst of busy schedule......


And this is the answer given.... Damn I like the phrase!!!!!!


QUOTE:

'We publish monthly status reports and provided you with the response to your request; this should be good enough for you to formulate whatever response you would like to provide to the Coordination meeting. Creating additional work for us so you can do a report seems flawed given our complicated platform and plethora of issues we must resolved to enable a healthy product.'




Goshhh.... it's been really a long time since I see management people being 'slapped hard' by technical leader.



Ohhhh.... it just felt so damn great!!

Known unspoken unfairness in Malaysia.



Yes, I do pity you that you can't get Msia government support for futher education despite your excellent results....

BUT.... HELLO???!!!! WAKE UP!!!! This is Malaysia!!!! They don't appreciate local talents like other countries...!! You don't know that?? You are still fooled by their gimmicks??!!

This is not the first year we have the same issue kept repeating ok....you never read newspaper hor???

The future is in your own hand, not in the government's hand!!!

Plan for your own future lahhh, don't ever think that the government will financially support you anyhow even though you have a brain of Einstein!!

These are all the unspoken unfairness in the country for dunno since when... and you still led yourself to believe that you will be appreciated??

Sweet memory of Grape Stomp Off @ Vintage Oaks, Texas

So that was Summer time last year in Texas...

We went to the Vintage Oaks winery for our first time ever Grape Stomp Off ..we don't really know what to expect... but we were told it will be fun!

Ready with our GPS, together with a group of frenz, we drove to Vintage oaks, a serene suburb 2hours drive from Austin, with astonishingly beautiful bangalows...

Waoooo.... My dream house........so elegant..! how I wish..

Woo...would I be able to earn myself a bangalow like this..?! It must cost a fortune!!!

My..my... I already start to fall in love with this place..!!!



Finally we arrived at Vintage Oaks winery..... enchanting castle like building.
This is fastinating... I like this place.. =)

Let's go in and have a look at this great place and to our first experience of Grape Stomp Off!

Wow... this is 5-star treat for the event! There are servings of high quality red and white grape wine, cheese and biscuits... All proudly Texas home grown!


Texas local red wine is undoubtly one of the best u can have... I just love it!

Had a few glasses before we started the event... hehehee...


See?

This is the equipment for Grape Stomp Off... we have a big wooden bucket, 2 bottles and a pail of quality local grown red grapes =)

The red grapes look so mouth-watering that I feel so guilty have to step on them with my bare feet later.. -____-



This is the place for Grape Stomp Off where we have 10 sets of equipments for 10 groups competing each time.. 1 group 2 persons, usually comes in couple or family siblings and frenz..



Beeppp!!!!!! The competition starts!

Squash..squash... squash.......squeeeeeze harder..

All the competitors are stepping hard and diligently on the grapes while their counterparts keep on brushing the grape juices down the pipe into the bottles..


Everyone is very very excited... all the shoutings and cheerings for their groups... all the sweating and grape juice splashing all over....!!!

Hahahaaa.... been a long time since we have so much fun!!!!

IT WAS FUN!!! =)


A closer look at how we squeezzze the grapes with our smelly feet....

Opsss.... not so appetizing, rite? ;p
